The last thing I do before leaving the house in the morning is put on lipstick. That done, the line between my private and public selves is drawn and I'm ready for the street. No, I'm no beauty buff. In fact, my entire cosmetics collection consists of lipstick and its kissing cousin, lip balm. I have salves that soften, glosses that shine, creams that protects, and tints that darken. I've amassed a sizable collection in my quest for the Holy Grail of cosmetics: The Perfect Lipstick. My requirements are really quite simple: The color must be a sheer red, with a hint of berry to it. It must look natural rather than clownish. The consistency must be light and very faintly slick. Finally, it must be emollient and last long enough to make frequent reapplication unnecessary.
What is it about lipstick that makes even a woman who is apathetic to other forms of makeup so passionate about it? Well, for one thing, lipstick is easy – with a minimum effort you can achieve maximum impact. It looks great on an otherwise bare face, and there's no need to guess about where to apply it. Makeup artists suggest using liner and a brush for greater precision, but most women (like me) follow the modus operandi described by Elizabeth McCracken, a self-confessed lipstick addict – "Do I use lipliner? Did Van Gogh paint by numbers? I don't cotton to any of other lipstick niceties. I just whip out the stick, twirl it up, and slap it on."
Women have worn some form of lip color for thousands of years – sticks of ocher have been found in tombs that date back to 5000 BCE. But before the first commercial tube went on sale in 1915, color was dabbed on with a finer or painted on with a brush. The tube came into being just as women were making their mark: getting the vote, entering the professions, and graduating from universities. Pulling out your tube and swiping on a lick of color became a way of asserting your independence. It's still a thrilling gesture, though not seen as often as it was in lipstick's infancy.
But the appeal of lipstick goes deeper than the ease and satisfaction of its application. It's a cosmetic that packs a powerful psychological punch – putting it on can transform your mood. "When a woman has lost her lover, when a girl has lost her job, when the doctor has told his fatal news, when the luck is leaving, the dinner party flopping, the birth pains beginning, the scandal breaking, the storm striking, the other woman sailing by in triumph… then sudden streak of lipstick across the lip spells courage."
For the past 2000 years, the primary purpose of lipstick has been to enhance the looks of the wearer. In our society, Lipstick is worn only by women (though this wasn't always so; like the high heel lipstick has at times been a unisex accessory) so it carries certain sexual associations. Though male and female infants and children alike have fairly full, intensely pigmented lips, hormonal changes bring an end to this similarity at puberty, when boys' lips thin out and girls' lips curve and swell. The sexes attract one another by emphasizing what makes them different, which is why men cultivate muscular physiques and women wear low-cut tops. By darkening her lips, a woman makes them look even lusher than they already are. Men with very red lips are often a little unsettling, because they confound our ideas about sexuality.
The pneumatic, rosy lip is also a sign of youth and the ability to bear children. As women age, their lips tend to get thinner and lose some of their color. Lipstick can be interpreted as an attempt to look fresh and ever-ripe. (Collagen is another option, albeit a costly and painful one.) Adding a dab of clear gloss to the center of the lower lip creates a sort of optical illusion – a sexy 3D effect and gives that full, poufy Lolita lips. There's nothing better than lips that look big and sexy, but natural, too."
The lips reminds us of the labia, says Diane Ackerman the author of A Natural History of the Senses because they flush red and swell when they're aroused, which is the conscious or subconscious reason women have always made them look even redder with lipstick.
However, I would guess that for many women lipstick isn't sexual but feminine. Like most women, my introduction to lipstick came via my mother. I have a vivid memory of her leaning toward the bathroom mirror, gliding color onto her lips. I would linger in the doorway, watching; I felt I was observing a ritual that I would one day be initiated into. When she clicked the tube shut, it was a signal that we were about to leave the house. To my five-year-old self, lipstick was the very essence of femininity. Until she finally bought my first lipstick – a pink-colored lipstick from a Barbie brand. I was so thrilled and happy!
The idea of lipstick as the key to the meaning of womanhood has been the subject of many female artists' work. Janine Antoni, for example, uses lipstick to explore topics such as beauty and self-image. For Diary, she wore 100 different lipstick shades for each of 100 different daily activities. The used lipsticks were then displayed as a diary of her life during this period. As part of a work called Gnaw, Antoni chewed on a large block of lard for several months, collected the bits she spat out, and shaped them into lipsticks. The lipsticks were then arranged in a cosmetics counter-style case, opposite the chewed-on block of lard.
The photographer Stacey Greene takes more straight-forward approach – she documents the used lipsticks of friends, acquaintances and strangers to illustrate how mass-made objects take on personal meaning. Though lipstick has come in approximately three shapes – all variations on the bullet – since the late 1930s, every woman puts it on slightly differently, resulting in thousands of different shapes, some flat, others wildly asymmetrical. Just as lipstick makes its mark on women, so women make their mark on lipstick.
Sexual undertones aside, wearing red lipstick carries a certain responsibility. It's a color that requires constant vigilance and upkeep – nothing looks worse than faded and smeared red lipstick. You can't be laissez-faire about a scarlet mouth. If you're going to paint your lips red, they will be the center of attention, so you better have something to say.
At the other end of the lipstick scale, pink is a less intense version of red – the femininity minus the sizzle, the color baby girls are traditionally assigned.
In the 19th century, when any form of makeup was taboo, a woman who wore lipstick was considered sexually available. Even when makeup became generally accepted, it retained many subtle symbolic nuances. A woman with a crimson mouth was a siren; one who chose a paler, more subdued pink lipstick was a nice girl. But the nice-girl category is a confining one – given a choice between red and pink lipstick, women will often go for red, as the cosmetics maker Volupte learned in 1938. That year, the company launched two shades of lipstick, one red called Hussy, the other a pink called Lady. Even today, pink lipsticks are given sweet, innocent sounding names such as Debutante, Barely There, and Blush. Reds, on the other hand, get dangerous-sounding monikers: Shanghai Express, Rouge Diabolique, Decadence, etc.
Lipstick, I'm happy to say, isn't going anywhere. Makeup fads come and go, but lipstick is a perennial. The reason lies in the intense feminine associations this enigmatic cosmetic arouses. Lipstick is femininity in a tube, packaged, color-coded, and yours for as little as 100pesos. As such, its lure is irresistible – even women who rarely wear it find themselves mesmerized by drugstore lipstick displays.
Applying lipstick is an all-around sensual experience, from the satisfying instant spent contemplating the color to the intimate caress of gliding it along your lips. Its scent evokes memories as powerful as the taste of Proust's Madeleine, while a lipstick color can recall an entire era – think of Erwin Blumenfeld's famous Vogue cover of 1950, which showed nothing but Jean Patchett's doe eye and the immaculate rose red arc of her mouth.
With that kind of power behind it, who would willingly give up the tube?

Tony winner Harvey Fierstein (Torch Song Trilogy, Hairspray) takes the stage in a ravishing world premiere by one of the most influential playwrights of our time, Tony nominee Martin Sherman (Bent, The Boy From Oz).
Fierstein plays Beau, a pianist expat living in London, who meets Rufus, an eccentric young lawyer, at the dawn of the internet dating revolution. After a life spent recovering from the disappointment and hurt of loving men in a world that refused to allow it, Beau is determined to keep his expectations low with Rufus. But Rufus comes from a new generation of gay men who believe happiness is as much their right as anyone else's, and what Beau assumed would be just another fling grows into one of the most surprising and defining relationships of his life.
Tony nominee Sean Mathias (Waiting for Godot/No Man's Land, Bent) directs.

LLM Legal Practice
LLM Legal Practice
This new LLM (Master's in Law) award is for those with professional legal qualifications, for example the BPTC or LPC (or their precursors). Credit points are awarded for these professional qualifications and students can then 'top-up' these points with a dissertation or publishable article to gain this LLM. This course is studied by distance learning.
Nottingham Law School is introducing a new LLM (Master's in Law) award for those with professional legal qualifications. Professional legal qualifications (for example, BPTC or LPC or their precursors) will provide evidence of appropriate prior learning and achievement, equivalent to two-thirds of the LLM award. Students will then 'top up' these credit points with a dissertation or publishable article, studied and completed by distance learning, to gain the LLM degree.
In the increasingly competitive legal employment market practitioners may find that having an additional qualification, a masters degree, will make them stand out from the competition. The LLM Legal Practice (DL) qualification will not only provide additional evidence of your academic ability but also showcase your knowledge of more specialised aspects of legal practice.
The LLM Legal Practice (DL) provides 60 Masters level credits which, when combined with the evidence of academic achievement from the successful completion of the BPTC or LPC (or equivalent), will lead to the award of an LLM.
The course is equivalent to 600 hours of study and includes a manageable assessment task of either a traditional dissertation or the production of an article of publishable quality.
Our course is designed to allow completion of the top-up element over a 4-24 month time period. This would allow students to undertake study immediately following the completion of the LPC or BPTC and complete the course quickly, but also offers more flexible time frames for completing the self-study module.
The course is not just for current LPC and BPTC students. Those who have successfully completed the LPC and BPTC (or their equivalent) at any time are eligible for admission. The course will be extremely attractive to practitioners as it also satisfies CPD requirements.
Introductory programme
The introductory programme includes guidance on research methods, and legal writing. All students will undertake the introductory programme by distance learning.
In line with our existing LLM courses, students have a wide discretion in the selection of their dissertation topic, subject to the capacity of the Law School to provide expert academic supervision. The Law School has academic staff with wide-ranging expertise across diverse areas of law. However, students are encouraged to consider areas of law that are particularly pertinent to their anticipated or actual area of practice when selecting their chosen topic. The dissertation is 18,000 – 20,000 words in length.
Publishable article
As an alternative to the dissertation, students can, with guidance from an experienced academic, produce an article of publishable quality. This is likely to be of shorter length than the dissertation, focussing on a particular point of practice or law.
Entry requirements
- Applicants should have successfully completed either the Legal Practice Course (LPC), or the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC).
- Applications from members of other legal professions will also be considered, for example, Patent Attorneys or Trade Mark Attorneys.
- Legal professionals from other jurisdictions are also eligible to apply
English language requirements
International and EU students also need to meet our English language requirements.
This school offers programs in:
- English

We performed SQUID-NMR measurements on a rhodium single crystal at ultra-low nuclear-spin temperatures. With initial polarizations up to p=0.95, the antiferromagnetic tendency was clear, but surprisingly no indication of actual nuclear magnetic ordering was obtained. The lowest nuclear temperatures achieved were below 100 pK, whereas the lowest directly measured temperature was 280 pK. Double-spin-flip and evidence for triple-spin-flip resonance lines were detected, yielding direct information of the interactions between the nuclear spins. The superconducting transition of rhodium was observed with the critical values, Tc=210 μK and Bc(0)=3.4 μT. For the first time, measurements with substantially correlated nuclei were performed in the superconducting state, where the effect of the coherent electron system on the spin-lattice relaxation rate was studied. The spin-lattice relaxation time was longer in the superconducting state at all temperatures and displayed a strong dependence on nuclear susceptibility.

Golf Range Netting (GRN) completed our job exactly as stated, right on time and as quoted. Shawn and his crew got to our site early and left late each day. The entire netting system is very secure without any slack anywhere. They carefully fit each panel exactly for a very professional look. GRN also worked with us to complete repairs on existing netting to extend the life. In a short time, they got everything looking like new. I highly recommend Golf Range Netting.
We survived Hurricane Sandy! High winds in the immediate area knocked out power in for 4+ days. Many trees were blown over. The poles you set and the driving range netting survived without incident. I will be happy to be a reference if needed.
Based upon my experience now with Golf Range Netting versus the others, I would strongly recommend going with Mark as he delivers a "one-stop-shop" product and is much better at tailoring the netting to your specific needs.
Golf Range Netting is a top notch, economical, friendly, and efficient company for protective netting solutions. Mark Ramsay quoted the netting backstop for the University of Charleston at 40% less than the best quote that I had received and he also increased the height of the net by ten feet. We ended up with a better product for much less money and an unheard of seven year warranty. The project was completed in only four days and the crew was friendly, very professional, and extremely efficient. Though they didn't have to, the Golf Range Crew jumped in and helped my crew remove the old backstop. I highly recommend Golf Range Netting!
I do not write letters like this often but I feel this is necessary. Working with Shawn and Vince was 100% my pleasure. The LiRo Group will highly recommend Golf Range Netting for any future projects. Feel free to use me as a reference.

Chapter one : A confused start to a confused person
Several important looking people step towards a rough lab coat wearing human who looks like the life has been sucked out of him and one of the the whitest person you would ever look upon almost celeb teeth white almost a fake sort of white.
"Sir you are going to need to be escorted out of this lab" The important people said in a monotone voice "B-b-u...This is where I live...This is where I work!" The scientist whispered "Where going to move you into a city house and you can live life also we will supply you with whatever amount of money you want..." They drone "Bu-b- I think I'm onto something" he stammered, The suit wearers stab him with some syringe with some blue radiating sludge inside
The scruffy guy wakes up in a small cold apartment "Where am I..." The man blurts out "My head hurts..." The man starts dragging himself around the apartment to find a small briefcase with tons of money in it, A bunch of clothes, Some raman noodles, A Ps1, tv and a bed.
"Ok so they manage to leave me with a Playstation, I still don't know where I am." The guy takes a few elevators and steps outside "Hey, Hey, Hey...H-...He-...Hel-...Hello."

It was the procession on ice, a high-speed dash to Britain's first gold medal of these Winter Olympics secured by Lizzy Yarnold, a 25-year-old farmer's daughter from Kent, and delivered with the emphatic certainty of a born champion.
Yarnold began her final two skeleton runs on Friday night with a commanding lead worth nearly half a second. The gold was hers to lose and she never for a moment looked like doing anything other than grabbing it with both hands.
In between her third and fourth runs she waved at the TV cameras and wished watchers a happy Valentine's Day. For Britain this was a medal from Russia with love.
"I have shown the world what I am capable of," said Yarnold. "It is lovely it is Valentine's Day, there's lots of romance in the air. There are so many people who were part of my journey – I am so chuffed I am Olympic champion!
The 10 British gold medal winners at the Winter Olympics
The 10 British gold medal winners at the Winter Olympics
1/10 Men's curling 1924
Laurence Jackson, William Jackson, Robin Welsh, and Tom Murray won the first Winter Olympic Gold medal in curling at the inaugural Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France, in 1924.
2/10 Men's Ice Hockey 1936
Captain Earl Erhardt, became the oldest ice hockey gold medallist, aged 39. John Davey, who was Britain's top scorer with seven goals, was born in London and raised in Ontario, Canada. Other members: Alexander Archer, James Borland, Edgar Brenchley, James Chappell, John Coward, Gordon Dailley, James Foster, John Kilpatrick, Archie Stinchcombe and James Wyman.
3/10 Jeannette Altwegg (Figure skating) 1952
Jeannette won World, European, and Olympic titles within 1951 and 52 and then immediately retired at the age of 22. She went on to work for a children's orphanage in Switzerland, despite being offered the opportunity to turn professional.
4/10 Two-man bobsleigh 1964
Robin Dixon and Tony Nash won gold in the bobsleigh by 12/100ths of a second. The following year they won the world title.
5/10 John Curry (Figure skating) 1976
John finished 11th at the 1972 Olympics, but was spotted by Ed Moseler who assisted the British skater to move to Denver, where he was given tuition from Carlo Fassi, helping him to eventually win World, European and Olympic titles.
6/10 Robin Cousins (Figure skating ) 1980
Robin managed to finish 10th when John Curry won Olympic gold. He won world title medals two years later, then seizing the gold at the Olympics in 1980.
7/10 Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean (Figure skating) 1984
Jayne and Christopher became European and world champions in 1981, defending those titles in 1982 and 1983. They won gold at the Olympics thanks to their routine to Ravel's Bolero. More than 24 million television viewers tuned in to watch their performance.
8/10 Women's Curling 2002
Rhona Martin, Debbie Knox, Fiona MacDonald, and Janice Rankin. The women's curling team won Britain's first gold medal since 1984.
9/10 Amy Williams (Skeleton) 2010
Williams didn't qualify for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, but progressed to win gold in Vancouver in 2010 - the first individual gold medal winner since 1980. Amy broke the track record twice along the way and won by more than half a second.
10/10 Lizzy Yarnold (Skeleton) 2014
Lizzy Yarnold became the 10th Briton to win a Winter Olympic gold medal with success in the skeleton in Sochi
"I believed in myself, I knew I could do it if I put in the hard work and dedication. My message would be follow your dreams, never give up and never limit yourself to what you can achieve."
She won by a nearly a second, almost double the margin of Amy Williams's gold-medal winning run in Vancouver four years ago, from the American Noelle Pikus-Pace. It was a commanding performance from an athlete blessed with the clearest of minds.
Even in her celebrations in front of the small grandstand overlooking the finish, where her parents and sisters were sitting, she remained in control, smiling and whooping with joy.
"Lizzy Yarnold is unique," said Williams. "She has something different within her psychologically. Within five years of starting she has become an Olympic champion, and that is pretty much unheard of in any sport."
Four years ago, during the previous Winter Games when Williams was taking her gold, Yarnold was ranked the 54th best shot-putter in the UK. An aspiring but run-of-the-mill athlete, she was in the early stages of switching sports, taking the first steps from being a hopeful heptathlete to a sure-thing slider.
"It will not be an easy war," said Andi Schmid, British Skeleton's head coach, before the final. For once in this stellar season the Austrian was wrong.
Yarnold dominated the World Cup series and arrived in Sochi as the world No 1. She dominated training and she has dominated the Olympics. Those around her have not noticed a shred of nerves throughout the week.
Yarnold took a lead of 0.44sec into on Friday night and was the first on the ice. She clapped her hands together and set off.
It was the perfect start, her fastest of the final, and she continued in that vein around the 17 curves and 1,500m long track. When she flashed across the blue finish line painted on the ice, the clock stopped at 57.91sec. It was a new course record.
The only two women likely to challenge the Briton followed her onto the track and neither came close. Pikus-Pace crossed 0.78sec adrift and Elena Nikitina, the home favourite, nearly a second behind despite making the quickest start.
It left Yarnold an hour and a half to wait until her final run, when the gold would finally be hers – barring coming off her sled (called Mervyn after Mervyn Sugden, an underwriter who supported her financially during the fledgling stages of her skeleton career). There was still no sign of nerves for a first-time Olympian, smiling happily as she made her way back to the athletes' area and waving at the TV cameras.
The second run of 58.09 was more ragged but it was still enough to widen her final lead to 0.97sec.
It is the crowning glory to a modern sporting fairy tale. Six years ago Yarnold had never heard of the sport. She turned up to a talent-spotting day in Bath run by UK Sport wanting to try out modern pentathlon. She was put through a series of tests, not just being made to run, jump and try a push start, but also mental ones.
The resulting letter that arrived at the family home offered her a skeleton trial and enclosed a DVD showing Shelley Rudman winning her silver medal in 2006 and talking about it on breakfast television.
The early years were difficult, both financially and physically. But in 2012 there were signs that it was all coming together. Yarnold won a World Championship bronze and her first World Cup race. This year it all clicked.
"Lizzy is very strong physically and mentally," said Schmid. "She is talented and understands the reading of the track. She has a great feeling for what is going on down the track."
It is Yarnold's total recall that is a key element in her armoury. She is able to recite turn by turn the Sanki track from the moment she leaves the dressing room. She knew the curves and corners she raced around last night at 80mph off by heart.
Yarnold will receive her gold in the Medals Plaza in the Olympic Park this afternoon, only the 10th Britain has collected in the 90-year history of the Winter Olympics and only the fifth won by a British individual. Britain's last five winter medals have all been won by women – the men have not won one since 1998.
Since skeleton returned to the Games in 2002, British women have won a medal each time: Alex Coomber's bronze in Salt Lake City, Rudman's silver in Turin, Williams's gold in Vancouver – and now Yarnold's name is added to the honours board.
There is no great secret to this consistency. Like much of Britain's Olympic success in the Summer Games, it follows a process of rigorous planning and careful athlete identification, and once the success starts there is a momentum: medals bring money bring medals bring more money.
Yarnold, and Williams before her, owe a great deal to Coomber and Rudman, who finished 16th on Friday night. They succeeded despite their circumstances; Yarnold has succeeded because of them.
British Skeleton's funding for this Olympic cycle was a record £3.5m, having been £2.1m before Vancouver. Now it will rise again.

Since 2008, Akron-based White Hat Management, has collected around $230 million to run charter schools in Ohio. The company has grown into a national chain and reports that it has about 20,000 students across the country.
But now 10 of its own schools and the state of Ohio are suing, complaining that many White Hat students are failing, and that the company has refused to account for how it has spent the money.
The dispute between White Hat and Ohio, which is unfolding in court in Franklin County, provides a glimpse of a larger trend: the growing role of private management companies in publicly funded charter schools.
Contrary to the idea of charters as small, locally run schools, around a third of the schools now pay management companies which can be either for-profit or nonprofit to perform many of the most fundamental school services, like hiring and firing staff, developing curricula and disciplining students.
But while the shortcomings of traditional public schools have received much attention in recent years, a look at the private sector's efforts to run schools in Ohio, Florida and New York shows that turning things over to a company has created its own set of problems.
Government data suggest that schools with for-profit managers have somewhat worse academic results than charters without management companies, and a number of boards have clashed with managers over a lack of transparency in how they are using public funds.
Only 2 percent of White Hat's students have made the progress expected under federal education law. The company declined comment about the performance of its schools.
White Hat was established in 1998 by Akron businessman David L. Brennan, who was a key advocate for introducing charter schools in Ohio. Like most charter schools, White Hat's Hope Academies and Life Skills Centers are primarily funded by the state based on the number of pupils they enroll. The contracts between White Hat and the schools now suing allow the company to collect virtually all the funds and use them to run the schools.
Performance questioned
When White Hat was establishing some of its first schools, a principal invited James Stubbs, a former NASA electronics technician, to join the board of
White Hat's Hope Academy Chapelside.
Stubbs, who sent his three children to Hope Academies and eventually sat on a number of White Hat school boards, said it took several years before some boards began to question why the schools continued to perform poorly. He said that when members started demanding more detailed accounting, the schools and the company began to clash.
''Ultimately, the board is responsible for what happens to the money,'' Stubbs said. He said that when White Hat refused to disclose, it put the board in what he saw as an untenable situation. ''The management company gets all the money but none of the blame when things go wrong.''
Charles R. Saxbe, the attorney representing White Hat in the lawsuit, said the company has complied with its legal and contractual requirements. He said that public funds become private once they enter White Hat's accounts.
''If I'm Coca-Cola, and you're a Coca-Cola distributor or a Coca-Cola purchaser,'' Saxbe said, ''that doesn't entitle you to know the Coke formula or find any financial information you'd be interested in learning from the Coca-Cola company. And that's kind of what they're demanding.
''Governing boards are purchasing the service and whatever it takes to deliver that service from White Hat. And if White Hat loses money, that's their risk. And if they make money, that's their upside.''
But the boards say that students, not White Hat, carry the greatest risk: the risk of failing in school.
''We give the management company 96 percent of the revenues from the state, and they do not have a transparent means for us to see what's happening with the money,'' Stubbs said. ''What I am concerned about is students not doing well under this management company, and that can't continue.''
The Ohio Department of Education agreed. It joined the lawsuit last fall and asked the court to help the ''group of public schools break free from dominance by private interests.''
''Things have not gone well under White Hat's direction,'' the department argued in a court motion. ''Most of the schools have received the equivalent of D's and F's on their state report cards and their performance has declined during the term of the agreements.''
Poor marks nationwide
In fact, White Hat schools across the country are performing poorly, according to a report by the National Education Policy Center, a nonpartisan research organization at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Of the 51 schools White Hat managed in 2010, only one met a key standard established by the No Child Left Behind law, called adequate yearly progress.
According to the report, that is by far the worst performance of any large for-profit management company.
Adequate yearly progress is a ''crude indicator'' of success, according to Gary Miron, professor of education at Western Michigan University, who co-wrote the report. But he said it does at least show whether schools are meeting state standards.
''When you compare 2 percent of White Hat schools meeting AYP, that's just something that cries out that there's something awry here,'' Miron said. ''Even schools in poverty are going to have a much higher rate of meeting AYP.''
Contract expiring
Despite the poor performance and the lawsuits, White Hat is still managing the schools under a contract extension that expires this summer.
Because White Hat owns most of the school property and employs the staff, the boards worry that they could not survive a sudden rupture with the company.
''A big part of the argument here is being able to follow the money,'' said James D. Colner, an attorney representing the schools. ''We have no idea whether they're earning a reasonable profit or not. We have no idea whether the money is being efficiently or effectively spent for our students.''
As federal and state governments pour billions of dollars into charter schools, boards across the country have increasingly turned to companies such as White Hat.
Yet the results have been mixed.
''I'm seeing increasing problems with boards not having access to information,'' Miron said. ''The boards have less authority because so many things are sewn up by the management company.''
While a lack of transparency does not always lead to poor performance, experts see it as a red flag for possible problems.
About half of charter schools with for-profit management companies met their adequate yearly progress targets, according to the National Education Policy Center's report, which used the most recent information available. By comparison, 63 percent of charter schools overall and 67 percent of regular public schools met the benchmark in 2009, according to the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, an industry group.
''There's not always a direct link between how well a school is managed and how well kids learn, but often a school that is mismanaged will have bad academic results,'' said Alex Medler, vice president of policy and research at the National Association of Charter School Authorizers, a nonpartisan group that advises policymakers and regulators. ''Transparency is a symptom of healthiness that lets a bunch of other mechanisms work the way they should.''
Strong boards key
There can be good reasons for charter school boards to hire management companies.
''The idea is to make a contract with someone who has the skills to hire people, find a building and put a school together,'' said Henry Levin, professor of economics and education at Columbia University's Teachers College. And some charter schools overseen by management companies have flourished.
A key factor is the presence of a strong and independent school board, according to Medler, of the National Association of Charter School Authorizers.
''The independent group holds the management company accountable,'' he said. It makes no difference whether the company is for-profit or nonprofit, he said, so long as the board's interest is ''the success of the school, not the success of the management company.''
But oversight of the industry has lagged, resulting in a patchwork of state and district regulation, which experts say is failing to guard the interests of children and taxpayers.
Some states do not directly oversee either the company or the board and do not regulate the terms of their contracts. In many cases, the bulk of the oversight is left to ''authorizers,'' organizations empowered to green-light charter schools.
Some states have many authorizers which can include tiny nonprofit organizations while others entrust the task to public universities, local districts or other specially created entities, many of which lack the resources to effectively carry out their role, according to Levin.
That's led to what Levin called ''a lot of confusion.''
''There's an awful lot of diversity in these companies,'' he said. ''And most of them are proprietary, so we really don't know how they're operating.''

70 years of Desert Island Discs
Ed's note: This Sunday sees the 70th anniversary edition of Desert Island Discs, where Sir David Attenborough, in the company of Kirsty Young, chooses his eight tracks, book and luxury item. Here producer Leanne Buckle reflects on her eight years on the programme - PM.
Leanne Buckle writes:
"After seventy years of gulls and gramophone records, Desert Island Discs is celebrating its birthday.
As well as our wonderful anniversary programme this Sunday, Kirsty will also be presenting Castaway - 70 years of Desert Island Discs at 8pm on Radio 4 this Saturday evening. So, as the anniversary has neared, in the office we've been pondering its remarkable staying power.
It is a perfect format - who isn't interested in the richness of human experience? It promises inspiring stories and personal memories, often triggered by the individual and meaningful music choices. They're very important of course, but over the eight years that I've been producing the programme, it seems to me that what the programme also offers, in an uncertain world, is rules.
Anthropologically, I wonder whether we don't need the notion of rules to survive - we like the idea of acquiring a moral boost from sticking to them (and perhaps even more, we like knowing transgressors are duly punished).
I'm probably asked more about the rules than anything else - and the implication is always that we don't apply them strictly enough. How impractical should the luxury item be? How much shelf space can a bespoke book occupy?
Of course, the point of asking our castaways for their luxury and book is to acquire further insight - a slender volume of poems by one author tells far more than a fat compendium of a thousand verses.
Our castaways are heart-warmingly inventive when it comes to bending the rules (Vikram Seth isn't the first to try to smuggle another person onto the island, but to try to take someone else, in addition to an elaborate set of calligraphy equipment is decidedly cheeky.)
Nigella Lawson took liquid temazepam and David Walliams a loaded gun. both thinking they might want their stay to be a finite one - a fascinating insight, but are they luxuries? We take a firmer line now against radios - but there are stacks already on the beach.
If anything, it feels as if we're saying "no" more than we used to -but still, the island is piled high with survival guides, penknives, cooking equipment and mosquito nets - and also boasts a good number of boats bobbing nearby.
Often the luxuries tell of the optimism of the human spirit - scores of pianos, violins, trombones and a brace of violas - our castaways are a self-improving lot. Languages too - any number of books taken 'in the original' as well as French, Spanish, Latin and German primers - how uplifting, I think, that in a situation where there is no-one else to talk to - our castaways resolutely hope they will master a new language.
Search our website to see what else has been smuggled on and ponder too whether, if you were being cast away, you wouldn't ask for your family photo album but also try to slip something actually quite useful in your pocket.
Even our wonderful 70th anniversary castaway, Sir David Attenborough, not a stranger to the shores of our island, will be cribbing from a survival manual (and if he needs help from a text-book, heaven help the rest of us)."

For your birthday, can I please ask for you to consider returning to two of the original Plumbly questions, which I think always uncovered a lot about the person "Could you survive?" and "Would you try to escape?".
As questions they told more than a collection of records, and I had the pleasure of hearing quite a few during the 70s unedited (and without the records) as my mother typed the transcripts for about 6 years.

Apparently the very first castaway was Vic Oliver who was a well-known entertainer when I was a boy in about 1950. I lived in Cardiff near the Victoria Ballroom and recall rushing up to ask a man coming out of the place, "Hey, mister, are you Vic Oliver?" He said he was and looked astonished as all I did was shout "Thanks" and run away!

What a delightful man and a lovely programme. I remember him from as long ago as Zoo Quest and my father having left home when I was 9 I always wanted Sir David Attenborough to be my 'Daddy'. Whenever he is on TV or the radio I always say 'My Daddy man' is on. Silly but true.

5 - You've done it now, BrookeMature
Brooke ran out the room, leaving the door open. Cosmo kissed me again, ignoring the fact that the door was wide open and Brooke had probably gone to tell everyone about us. I did my best to hold him down, even though he was stronger than me. He complied with my wishes but still brushed my hair over my shoulder.
"Are you not going to go sort that out?" I asked.
"Do you want me to?" he whispered.
He sighed but pushed me off him and pulled a top on quickly. He quickly kissed me again and vanished out the door, shutting it behind him. I sighed and got dressed. I went back to the room I shared with a couple of necromancers and dropped onto my bed. I dropped my head in my hands and just thought about what I was going to do.
I heard somebody rush into the room. I looked up. It was Kaida. A grin broke across her face when she saw me. She flung herself next to me on my bed, her long white hair slapping me across the face as she did so. Her blue eyes were alive with excitement from the idea of gossip.
"Is it true?" she exclaimed.
I just sighed and the grin vanished from her face. She put her arm around my shoulders and I started crying.
"Hey, it's okay. Don't worry about it," Kaida said.
" I hate Brooke. Why did she have to go and tell everyone?" I sobbed.
"'Cause she's Brooke. She's had a crush on Cosmo for decades. Everybody knew except you and Cosmo himself. Even the necromancers knew," she said.
"Great. She's going to make my life hell."
"She'll try. You can't let her. You're much better than she is, you can't let her see that what she's doing is bothering you."
"I'm leaving," I announced.
"I'm leaving. Now."
I stood up and grabbed a bag from under my bed. I unzipped it to make sure everything was there. It was full of jeans and T-shirts. There were two pairs of sunglasses and some caps. There was a hooded jacket for if I ever needed to go out in the day.
Someone walked into the room. A necromancer. I'd met him before. His name was...
"Shadow, that's your name isn't it?" I asked him.
"Yeah. You're Blaze."
"I am. One of your Sisters, Bronwyn, I need to talk to her, do you know where she is?"
"I'll go and get her." He left the room to get her.
The Necromancers were part of a brotherhood, with women too. They called each other Sister and Brother, when in need of formality. Bronwyn raced into the room then.
"Bronwyn! Do you like it here?" I asked her.
"Not particularly. Why?" she asked.
"I'm leaving. Do you want to come with me?"
"Of course. I'll grab my things." And she vanished into the shadows.
She appeared a minute later with a bag over one shoulder. I zipped my bag up and slung it across my back.
"Are we leaving then?" she asked.
"Yes. Kaida, tell Cosmo he knows where to find me." I kissed her cheek. "Tell Brooke that she's a bitch. Say goodbye to Gryph for me."
"I will but you can't just leave," she said.
"I can and I will."
"But you can't-"
"Watch me."
I grabbed Bronwyn's hand and we were gone.

I had this mole removed by lip and had to get 3 stitches. Its been about a month and a half and I guess I was expecting much more improvement at this point. I went to a dermatologist and he said its going to improve a lot and says the wound edges will come together. I asked if fractional laser surgery would help but he felt I didn't need it. Is it really possible? Will the divot eventually close up? I know that if it evened out the redness went away I would feel a lot better about it. Thank you

The scar will mature over one year. However, fractional co2 laser can help improve the scar earlier.

Baseball players that usually land on the DL pull a muscle, break a bone, sprain something, etc. But other players, like Colorado Rockies pitcher Josh Outman, can hurl crap up from his stomach and get put on the DL.
"The food poisoning, there was a lot of vomiting and I really believe he strained his oblique," [Rockies manager Jim] Tracy said. "He's been much better over the last couple of days but he hasn't been able to throw. We haven't been able to get him to the mound. So we're just going to err on the side of caution."

University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada
SESSION TITLE: New treatments for COPD
SESSION TYPE: Original Investigation Slide
PRESENTED ON: Monday, October 28, 2013 at 01:45 PM - 03:15 PM
PURPOSE: Aclidinium is a long-acting muscarinic antagonist indicated for long-term maintenance treatment of COPD-associated bronchospasm. Pooled analysis of 3 trials (ACCORD I and II, 12 weeks, and ATTAIN, 24 weeks) in moderate to severe COPD patients investigated the effects of aclidinium in various subgroups.
METHODS: Data from 3 randomized double-blind trials of aclidinium 200 µg (n=643), 400 µg (ACL400, n=636), and placebo (PBO, n=640) BID were pooled to evaluate morning predose (trough) and peak FEV1 in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population (all randomized patients who had ≥1 dose of treatment and had ≥1 postbaseline assessment). Trough FEV1 was also assessed in subgroups of patients defined by sex (male vs female), age (<60 vs ≥60-70 vs ≥70 years), smoking status (current vs former), COPD severity (mild/moderate vs severe/very severe), concomitant ICS (use vs nonuse), and bronchodilator reversibility (reversible [reversibility ≥12% and change from prebronchodilator FEV1 ≥200 mL from short-acting β-agonist treatment] vs nonreversible). Results from patients treated with the approved dose (ACL400) and PBO up to the pooled 12-week endpoint are reported.
RESULTS: At Week 1, patients on ACL400 showed clinically and statistically significant improvements from baseline in adjusted mean trough FEV1 vs PBO (110mL, p<0.0001), which were maintained to Week 12 (100mL, p<0.0001). Similarly consistent improvements from baseline over PBO were seen for peak FEV1 with ACL400 at Week 1 (196mL, p<0.0001) through Week 12 (172mL, p<0.0001). ACL400 resulted in statistically significant improvements from baseline to Week 12 in trough FEV1 over PBO in all subgroups (all p<0.0001), similar to that seen in the ITT population. Although both patients with and without bronchodilator reversibility showed significant improvements over PBO in trough FEV1 at Week 12, a significant difference in magnitude of improvement was observed between these 2 patient populations (132mL and 82mL, respectively; p<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: These data show that ACL400 produces clinically and statistically significant improvements in lung function from Week 1 through Week 12. These improvements were seen regardless of sex, age, smoking status, COPD severity, concomitant ICS, or bronchodilator reversibility status. A larger improvement in lung function was seen with ACL400 in patients with bronchodilator reversibility than without.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Aclidinium 400 µg BID is effective for maintenance treatment in a wide range of patients with moderate to severe COPD.

text: Let's begin at the beginning. I promised an Injured Receiver update and here goes ... Big Bill says he is not concerned about Terry Glenn missing practice. It was simply a case of bad blisters on his foot. Of course, Parcells told the gathered media this long after I had stopped Glenn after practice and asked if he injured himself in Saturday's scrimmage. His short and curt, "I'm not hurt" prompted me to look at him strangely and him and ask, "Then why miss practice?" Silly me for not considering blisters. T.O., on the other hand, is a different issue. Parcells reiterated that an MRI taken Saturday of his hamstring was clear and that he did not know what was keeping T.O. from practice. You can read more of my thoughts on this in my Little Balls of Hate column in the paper tomorrow. But I will say that I find it very strange that Parcells, who has his fingers on the pulse of everything, is so low-key about his star receiver missing a fifth day of practice. Especially when he claims not really to be sure why. Of course, while Parcells was telling everybody he did not know when he'd decide if T.O. is able to play in the preseason opener against Seattle on Saturday, T.O. was saying he did not think he would practice the rest of the week nor did he plan to play against the Seahawks. Hmmmm. They may want to sit down and get their stories straight. As for that nickname change, I went to introduce myself to Cowboys kicker Mike Vanderjagt on Monday and he looked at me with some name recognition. I was thinking he listened to the Dennis and Engel show or something. I was wrong. "Oh," he said. "You are Mac's wife. He's a cool dude." It is Mac's World. I am just living in it. Of course, I realized that after our trip to Rodeo Drive, where we ended up buying T-shirts with his name all over them. But alas that story, along with all of our off-day SoCal fun, is for another blog to be written after my column is done. Let me just tease you by saying that I came face to face with a boa constrictor on Venice Beach. Oh. My. Scary.

Litigation: Will trial lawyers be allowed to bankrupt innocent companies? Will the Supreme Court let lower courts defy its rulings? A decision by the justices this week may decide both questions.
On Thursday, the high court will decide whether to hear arguments in Sears v. Butler, a case not on the general public's radar screen but which, if allowed to stand, would increase appliance costs and ravage manufacturing businesses.
Like a previous class-action suit against Whirlpool, which the court vacated and sent back to the 6th Circuit earlier this month, the Sears case is about moldy smells in washing machines. Or rather, rich trial lawyers getting richer by persuading bunches of consumers to notice what they likely never smelled in the first place.
If the justices care about their rulings being heeded by the rest of the judiciary, they can't just send Sears back down; they must hear the case themselves, because instead of just one state's warranty laws, the Chicago-based 7th Circuit's expansive decision in Sears lumps together the warranty statutes of California, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota and Texas.
What's more, the decision in Sears was written by the eccentric "conservative" and highly influential Judge Richard Posner. In the name of "efficiency" in an overloaded federal court system, Posner treats with contempt the Supreme Court's definitive ruling that a class action may be granted only when a court finds that law or fact common to class members predominates over any questions affecting the individuals in the class.
In his 2011 ruling overturning the loony 9th Circuit in Wal-Mart v. Dukes, Justice Antonin Scalia emphasized that that commonality in law or fact was the requisite "glue holding the alleged" claims together. But a class action is "more efficient, in terms ... of economy of judicial resources," retorts Posner.
Just who do the courts exist for, the judges or the people? And yes, to quote a recent unsuccessful presidential nominee, corporations are people.
Firms bend over backward to make consumer appliances affordable, and unfortunately they don't stay in perfect condition forever. If Posner's ruling stands, warranties will become a joke as trial lawyers gather a mob and sue over any and every major and minor defect in everything from smartphones to vacuum cleaners. Manufacturers would, consequently, forever think twice before offering new innovations.
It will also mean allowing a defiant lower-court appellate judge to, in effect, appoint himself "Pseudo-Justice Posner." In taking up Sears, the Supreme Court will help consumers, protect businesses who play by the rules and defend the high court's own integrity.

Owen and Kate Hot in the City
Owen took Kate out for her 28th birthday the other night at La Esquina and The Box in NY. Kate looked gorgeous all glammed up for her big night out. People reports that the birthday girl "seemed really happy" and the couple were seen "kissing in the corner." Owen opted for the play it cool attitude when they were caught leaving The Box. We're just happy they actually exited the club at the same time instead of trying to cover up the cuteness they should be sharing.

The Canadian Conference of the Arts stopped in Calgary on November 4, 2008 as part of a national tour to consult with the arts sector and its supporters about how the CCA and the sector as a whole can work to better position the sector in public discourse and on the political agenda. A group of artists, cultural workers and arts champions participated in a regional forum hosted by the CCA, and later that evening the CCA's national director, Alain Pineau, delivered a short speech and engaged in dialogue with leaders from the arts and corporate sectors. The video of that speech is available here. For more information about the regional forums being hosted by the Canadian Conference of the Arts, visit ccarts.ca.

Then we went to the old fort, Castillo de San Marcos. This was built in 1695 to protect the town from pirate and other attacks. It was never captured by force. It was star shaped with walls constructed of limestone shell that wouldn't crack. And the walls were over 5m thick on the outside. It had a gun deck lined with canons and sentry posts and a mote.
