'Zero energy' vision for California homes
Eight years ago, when California regulators decided that by 2020 every newly built home should produce as much power as it used, the idea was novel enough to be nearly unimaginable. Even in a state where energy-saving construction was already the norm, there was only a handful of such super-efficient dwellings, owned mostly by wealthy early adopters. Today, a Golden State dotted with futuristic homes is in sight, the notion of thousands of new residences running tiny rooftop...

Obama: Country Needs to Boost Border Security and "Clarify" Status of Millions of Illegal Immigrants
President Obama seemed to express support for major immigration reform during a speech at the Esperanza National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C. this morning, promising better border security and a form of amnesty for illegal immigrants.
Obama says, "we're taking steps to strengthen border security, and we must build on those efforts. We must also clarify the status of millions who are here illegally, many who have put down roots."
Where does Obama dig up phrases like, "clarify the status," anyway? Sounds like the new administration left Bush's copy of Microsoft U-Phemism Pro on White House computers.
Forget the part about border security -- that only means they'll catch a few more border runners. But the amnesty part is easy. It just takes the stroke of a pen. Suddenly, no more crying 9-year-olds. No more American caste system.

No policy inaction by govt, delays by private sector: Sibal
New Delhi: Rejecting charges of policy paralysis, Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal Thursday said the government has taken a slew of decisions in the recent past and delays, if any, were on part of private sector which was responsible for implementation.
"We have taken decisions after decisions. If there is paralysis, it is the roll-out of those decisions and it depends on the private sector. Private sector must see the opportunity and ensure there is roll-out," he said at the curtain raiser event for India Telecom 2012 Conference.
He said telecom operators need to go above self-interest and look at the larger opportunities awaiting the sector.
"Each telecom operator when he comes to me, his focus is his business, his future.... Let us look at larger picture because there are enough stakeholders which have enormous opportunity to take this sector forward," Sibal said.
He added if self-interest continues to be the driving force for private sector players, their interests will be hurt ultimately.
"If your self-interest is your driving force then Newton's law of motion will apply. Every action will have an equal and opposite reaction. What will happen is your self-interest will be ultimately hurt," he said.
Sibal said the government has framed a clear-cut policy for the telecom, IT and communication sectors for the next 10-15 years. He asked private operators to seize those opportunities and work in larger public interest.
"You will miss this opportunity if you look at only your interest and do not allow others to have share in future of telecom sector," he added.
Communications, IT and electronics sectors are worth USD 80 billion now and the government anticipates that it will be a USD 300 billion industry by 2020.
"Those are opportunities. You need to work in larger public interest to use those opportunity in your self interest," Sibal added.
He also said the government will introduce the Electronics Delivery Bill in the next session of Parliament.
"We are in the process of taking Electronics Delivery Bill forward. The standing committee report has come. Hopefully we will introduce it in Parliament in next session," he added.

How to Become a Medical Records TechnicianHome >> Career Search Article Directory >> How to Become a Medical Records Technician
What medical records technicians do
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls.gov, 2012), medical records and health information technicians maintain patient health records, and ensure they remains accurate, complete, and confidential. These records include information like a patient's medical history, symptoms, as well as lab and exam results.
Though their specific duties can vary depending on the size of the medical facility they work at, these professionals are generally knowledgeable in various medical classification systems which they use for data entry and purposes like insurance reimbursement. In addition to maintaining traditional paper records, they may also need to be familiar with computer data-entry software due to the increasing popularity of Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems in the field. They also often collaborate with nurses and doctors.
Many medical records and health information technicians specialize as either medical coders or cancer registrars. Medical coders review and retrieve patient information while also acting as a liaison between medical and billing personnel. Cancer registrars help maintain records for cancer patients and perform duties such as reviewing pathology reports and tracking treatment and recovery paths.
How to become a medical records technician
Aspiring medical records and health information technicians should be detail-oriented, possess technical and analytical skills, and be personable, the BLS reports. The BLS states that these technicians usually need either a post-secondary certificate or an associate degree in an area of study like health information technology.
Most employers favor applicants who have become certified either by graduating from an accredited program or achieving certifications such as a Registered Health Information Technician or Tumor Registrar. Certification requirements can also vary from state to state.
The path to becoming a medical records or health information technician can fluctuate, but generally include the following steps according to information from the BLS.
- Earn a high-school diploma or GED, taking courses in health, computer science, math and biology
- Apply for and enroll in an accredited certificate or degree program in health information technology or a related area of study
- Research state and professional certification options, and gain relevant certifications
- Apply for an entry-level position as a medical records technician in a medical setting
- Keep certifications and education up-to-date
No employment is guaranteed as additional training, certifications, licenses or qualifications may be required.
Career outlook for medical records technicians
The BLS projects up to 21 percent national increase in employment for medical records and health information technicians from 2010 to 2020, which is higher than the average occupation growth rate of 14 percent. An aging population and the rise of EHRs contribute to the increased demand for these healthcare professionals.
As of May 2011, the national annual wage for medical records and health information technicians was $33,310 median. The lowest-paid 10 percent made up to $21,680 nationally in 2011 while the highest-paid 10 percent made up to $55,170 nationally in 2011. New Jersey, the District of Columbia, and Hawaii paid the highest wages to professionals in this occupation (bls.gov, 2012).
Earnings vary and are dependent on factors such as professional experience, training, geographic location, education and more.

we have 1 week in Italy, well, 8 days maybe. i am traveling with my aunt, she is 75. i am slightly younger. we arrive to Milan, but will not stay there.
i want to see Florence and Venice, so we can spend 2 days in each. i do not want to to go to Rome as it too big and we have no time for that. i better will go there separately.
so remaining 3 days (maybe 4) we can spend traveling in a country side (that is what i wanted) and see endless small towns and villages. i thought to rent the car for that, but many people telling me that Italians driving fast, tailgate and honk all the time. i do not like it. i do not mind to drive a distance, but do not want to speed up because of some hot head wants me to. my aunt is no use. she cannot navigate and read the map either.
our general plan (somewhat flexible) is
Sept 3 arrive to Milan,
Sept 3-6 somewhere (see below)
Sept 6-8 Florence
Sept 8-10 Venice
going by train and spend a night in new place every day is not appealing as it time consuming and demanding. it feels like we will have to see every railroad station, but nothing much else.
i guess i am trying to fit my American traveling experience into Italy. here i usually drive from place to place and have a place to stay arranged as we go. i have usually general idea where we start and finish and what exactly we want to see. i never was in italy before and i know that everything is interesting to me.
perhaps we have to go to Rome after all... but what about Genoa, Bologna and San Marino?! not to mention the rest of it. it is hard to make choices. i am thinking of two general places:
1. Genoa and the Cinque Terre for 2-3 days, rent the car locally there and take small roads. have the option to stay on the beach. than return the car, go by train to Florence and later to Venice.
2. Stay in somewhere in Parma, rent the car locally, drive around,fro 2-3 days, return the car and then go to Florence and Venice.
does anybody can suggest the 'best way' to spend 1 week in Italy?

I would include Lago Como and make a triangle of it.
Have you bought the air tickets as yet?
If not, fly into Venice and home from Milan---a nice 8 days.
Report Abuse
Rome is a workout. And I would skip it if you don't have the time to devote to it. Are your dates firm, for Venice and Florence? Just initially, I would hate packing up every day. Too exhausting. I'd pick two places to base yourself and do day trips out from there a bit. Get to know something a bit. Rather than hassling so much. And trains are good options.
Report Abuse
i would say the dates are flexible except for 3d of september. we are not flying from Italy, we are going to Munich and depart from there on 12th. the whole trip starts in Munich as well, we will stay there a couple days than we have to go to Romania for the wedding and Dracula castle, then arrive to Milan the tickets are already been bought and changing them will be complicated.
i was hoping to squeeze a day to go through Switzerland on a way back to Munich. So lake Como could be very well on the way. i have reservations at the hotel in Florence on the 5th to 8th, but i can cancel it. In fact i would prefer to stay at some country B&B and drive or take trains to various places. or not and just relax and do nothing, just look around. this is vacations after all.
also if we will move from point to point we will have to do something with our luggage. that is why car seems useful too.
so i guess i am asking should i get the hotels in Florence and Venice? or staying in some lovely B&B near Parma or Bologna will allow us to go to both places for a day, see all we have to see and return back without complications? is it really a major headache to drive in Italy and especially park?

Why not just do 4 days each in Florence and Venice. Plenty to see in each city, but if you wanted, you could also take a nice day trip or two from each. Use the train (or possibly bus) so no rental car needed.

I concur with the 4 days each idea, I think you'll find your experience more rewarding the less time you spend finding and check into/out of hotels.
I think your impression of Italian drivers is off a bit. I found them to be quite skilled and mostly patient. they will expect you to pull off to let them pass when the road conditions allow, if you like going slower. I would suggest, as the above posters have suggested, planning a day trip with a rental car to the Tuscan country, perhaps the Chianti region, from Florence. it is amazingly beautiful. the rental companies will rent you a GPS which will help you get home.

Is your aunt capable of pulling her own luggage through train stations or will you have to handle luggage for both of you?
It sounds like you are taking a fairly long trip. Are you planning on packing light and doing laundry along the way?
If you don't mind my saying so, I think you have the wrong picture of Italy. The famous parts of it that are of touristic interest are either smallish, extremely dense towns and cities that have a medieval streetscape where cars are generally not allowed, or if they are, it is very difficult to drive -- or the alternative is usually very steep scenic areas, with narrow winding roads. It is simplest to drive in Tuscany, but you should steer clear of the cities. Without the help of a navigator, you might not end up enjoying having a car in Italy.
If you are going to a wedding and carrying heavy luggage, something you could is arrive in Milan and take the train or bus to Milano Centrale train station. You could store the bulk of your luggage in the train station until it is time to come back to Milan and get on the train for Switzerland or Munich. Carry around a much lighter amount of luggage In Italy for 1 week means you could enjoy taking trains, which go right to the heart of the places of interest, little hassle.
With only 8 days, if you would like a relaxing vacation, I suggest you spend some time in an "easy" flat city, like Verona or Florence, and spend some time on one of the lakes. If you want to spend some time in Switzerland, I wouldn't make it a squeezed in rushed stop, especially since you are at the end of your trip and are facing a very long flight home. So perhaps 3 nights in Verona or Florence, 2 nights on a lake, 2 nights in Switzerland and 1 in Munich.

Are you arriving at Malpensa airport or Linate Airport?
If it is Linate, try renting a car and driving to Mantova. That is a small town where it is not too bad to have a car. It is flat, it has many interesting things to see, and it has nice restaurants. Try to find an apartment or someplace with a kitchen so you don't have to eat big restaurant meals all the time late at night. From Mantova, you can drive to small castle towns nearby or take a train ride to Modena or Verona. You can drive the car back to Linate airport and take the bus to Milano Centrale station for the rest of your trip in Switzerland and Munich.
If you are flying into Malpensa airport, rent a car and drive to Stresa on Lake Maggiore. You can use the car to also visit Lake Orta, and other small towns further north, and you can also take boat trips on the lake. Try to rent an apartment or someplace with a kitchen. You can drive the car back to Malpensa airport and take the bus to Milano Centrale for the rest of your trip to Switzerland and Munich.

everyone in this forum is very nice and helpful. somehow i did not manage to be in Italy before. i just drove very nicely in greece this spring, on the country roads and main highways too. i assumed that perhaps this voyage would be similar. in Greece we discovered many fantastic places that main stream tourists will never see (and maybe it is good for these places). i survived the small towns easily by going there on foot. did not risk to drive on the small streets there.
thank you very much for the practical suggestions, such as storing luggage. this was one of mine concerns and reasons why i considered the car. i just want have a small pleasant introductory trip so could return again and have more precise and efficient visit next time.

If you enjoyed being off the beaten track in Greece, then go to Mantova in Italy, and the small towns around there. You can do that with both car and train.

Twitter to track installed third-party apps on iOS with new app graph systemUbiquitous microblogging platform Twitter on Wednesday announced a new initiative called app graph, which looks to track the apps users have installed on their devices to suggest promoted content and potentially allow for enhanced timeline personalization.
Source: Twitter via Flickr
According to a post to Twitter's official support webpage, app graph only gathers a list of software installed on a user's device and does not collect data associated with those apps. However, for privacy advocates, as well as those averse to targeted ads, the new feature may be a cause for concern.
Twitter says app graph will help build a "tailored" experience for users, an example being improved "who to follow" suggestions. Other enhancements like adding tweets, accounts and general content to timelines seem more intrusive, while the inclusion of "relevant promoted content" is an obvious indication of app graph's value as an advertising tool.
Fortunately, Twitter is being transparent about how it plans to implement app graph, which will soon roll out to users. When the system is activated for a given account, a prompt is sent out notifying the account owner that "to help tailor your experience, Twitter uses the apps on your device." This alert will only appear when app graph is turned on.
Further, app graph will not collect apps for iOS device users who previously opted out of targeted ads by turning on Apple's "Limit Ad Tracking," located in the iOS Settings app under Settings > Privacy > Advertising. To use Twitter's system, users must first deactivate the Limit Ad Tracking feature.
For those who agree to app graph, but later want out, Twitter offers the following instructions to disable the system, which also deletes any previously gathered data:
In Twitter for iOS:
- From the Me tab, tap the gear icon
- Tap Settings.
- Tap the account you'd like to adjust.
- Under Privacy, you can adjust the setting to Tailor Twitter based on my apps.
Twitter did not mention when it plans to start activating app graph, but the feature can be expected to hit sometime soon given today's public notice.

A new, free app will allow smartphone users to measure their cellphone use. Computer scientists and psychologists from the University of Bonn have developed an application for this purpose.
Whoever installs it can see, e.g., how much time s/he spends on the phone or which apps s/he uses most frequently. The relevant key data is sent to a server anonymously for the scientists to analyze. They are already using a similar technology for the early detection of depression.
This app dubbed Menthal will run on Android 4.0 (or newer). It is available as a free download from Google's Playstore or http://www.menthal.org. "If you would like to go on a digital diet, we will provide you with the scales," joked Alexander Markowetz, junior professor for computer science at the University of Bonn.
The app is part of a larger research project regarding the use of cellphones. Most studies have so far relied on user self-assessments for this purpose. But that information is unreliable. "Menthal will provide reliable data for the first time," Markowetz stressed. "This app can show us in detail what someone's average cellphone consumption per day looks like."
Average users activate their smartphones every 12 minutes on average
In an as yet unpublished study, the researchers used Menthal to examine the phone behavior of 50 students over a period of six weeks. "Some of the results were shocking," commented Dr. Christian Montag, Privatdozent for Psychology at the University of Bonn. So, for example, a quarter of the study subjects used their phones for more than two hours a day. On average, study participants activated their phones more than 80 times a day – during the day, every 12 minutes on average. For some subjects, the results were even twice as high.
Typical users only spoke on their phones for eight minutes a day, and they wrote 2.8 text messages. And yet, the main use of phones was still for communication: over half of the time, the subjects were using Messenger or spending time on social networks. What'sApp alone took up 15 percent, Facebook nine percent. Games accounted for 13 percent, with some subjects gaming for several hours a day.
The main interest of the Bonn researchers focused on problematic use of cellphones. "We would like to know how much cellphone use is normal, and where 'too much' starts," Christian Montag explained – and that using a cellphone is similar to using a slot machine – which is why phones are turned on so often. He added that this potential new addiction is not yet an officially recognized disease. "And yet we know that using a cellphone can result in symptoms resembling an addiction," Montag pointed out. He explained that excessive use might result in neglecting essential daily responsibilities or one's direct social environment. "Outright withdrawal symptoms can actually occur when cellphones cannot be used."
Cellphones as detectors for depression
The app was created in the context of a broader initiative that aims at introducing computer science methods into the psychological sciences –-scientists also call this new research area "psychoinformatics." In a current article in the journal "Medical Hypotheses" they explain how psychology and psychiatry can benefit from the related possibilities. "So for example, one could imagine using cellphone data in order to measure the severity and the progress of depression," explained Montag. "We are in the process of conducting another study about this in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Thomas Schläpfer, a psychiatrist from the Bonn Universitäts¬klinikum."
Depression is signaled by social withdrawal and an inability to enjoy activities, among other symptoms. The disease often progresses in an episodic fashion. "We suspect that during a depressive phase, cellphone use will change in a measurable way," explained Prof. Schläpfer. "Patients will then make fewer phone calls and venture outside less frequently – a change in behavior that smartphones can also record thanks to their built-in GPS." A psychiatrist might thus be able to use patients' cell¬phones as a diagnostic tool and, if necessary, intervene accordingly early on. "Of course," Markowetz added, "this will only be possible in strict compliance with data privacy laws, and with patients' consent."
In general, Markowetz explained, compliance with strict data privacy rules is essential when analyzing such data. In their study, the participating researchers explicitly discuss the ethical aspects of data use in their work, pointing out that the doctor-patient privilege, which is painstakingly applied to the data collected, constitutes a proven method for handling information.

He was going to buy some candy at a convenience store — but Jon never came home. A week after he disappeared, his body was found buried in a shallow grave. He was 11 years old. 'If You Don't Fight For Yourself, Ain't Nobody Else Gonna Do It For You' By NPR Staff • Mar 18, 2016 For three generations, Tanya James' family has worked the coal mines of West Virginia. James is no different. She began working in the mines in 1979, when only about 1 in 100 coal miners were women — and she didn't begin under the happiest of circumstances. Her father died when she was 17, leaving her mother to take care of the family. Out of necessity, Tanya's mother took a mining class, and Tanya would go down with her every day — so the instructor invited Tanya to join the class. Six months later, Tanya was working in the mines as well. 'The Rope' Chronicles A Good Death, And A Bad Start By NPR Staff • Mar 16, 2016 Kanan Makiya is still best known for a book he originally published under a pseudonym back in 1989. The Republic Of Fear catalogued the atrocities committed in Iraq under Saddam Hussein. Makiya later acknowledged authorship and became an advocate for the dictator's ouster. Now, he's written a new book — a novel — published in both Arabic and English, and set in Iraq right after the U.S. invasion. It follows a Shiite militiaman from the day the dictator fell to the day he was hanged. 'We Couldn't Save Them': Lessons From A Film About Family And Addiction By NPR Staff • Mar 16, 2016 The new movie Krisha is a family drama about addiction and chaos.

If the family in the film seems tighter than most acting ensembles, it's because they have history: The director and writer, Trey Edward Shults, cast his aunt as the main character, his mother as the family matriarch and himself in the role of Krisha's estranged son. FCC Chair: Proposal Would Let Consumers Determine Value Of Internet Privacy By NPR Staff • Mar 16, 2016 The Federal Communications Commission is proposing, for the first time, privacy regulations for Internet service providers. The goal is to let consumers weigh in on what information about them gets collected and how it's used. As they connect us to the Internet, ISPs have insight into our lives — websites we frequent, apps we download or locations we visit — and may use that data for their own promotions or sell it to data brokers to be used for marketing or other purposes. The Apocalyptic Party Jams And Secular Gospel Of Birds Of Chicago By NPR Staff • Mar 13, 2016 The two members of Birds of Chicago, Allison Russell and JT Nero, used to cross paths on the road when on tour with their own bands. They joined up musically and then — as these things happen — they became a couple. Their latest album, out now, is called Real Midnight. 1976: The Last Time Republicans Duked It Out To The Last, Heated Minute By NPR Staff • Mar 13, 2016 Yes, the race for the White House is about winning states, but really it's about winning delegates. In typical elections, the front-runner in a primary ends up being the person who snags the magic number of delegates to clinch the nomination so the convention ends up being pretty much a coronation ceremony. But this year's Republican race for the nomination is shaping up to be something different. On Grant-Lee Phillips' 'The Narrows,' A Troubadour Looks Into His Ancestry By NPR Staff • Mar 13, 2016 Comeback Girl: Gwen Stefani On Healing In Public By NPR Staff • Mar 13, 2016 'This Can't Go On In Chicago,' Says Anti-Trump Protester By NPR Staff • Mar 13, 2016 Donald Trump's planned rally in Chicago on Friday was canceled, but not before ugly scenes played out between Trump supporters and people who had come to protest the event. Jedidiah Brown was there. He was the young man who was shown on television yelling as he was pulled from the event stage. He's part of an organization called Young Leaders Alliance. Walt Whitman's Letter For A Dying Soldier To His Wife Discovered By NPR Staff • Mar 12, 2016 While combing through various Civil War files at the National Archives, a volunteer recently discovered a letter written by poet and essayist Walt Whitman on behalf of a Union soldier dying in a hospital far from home. The National Archives is the repository of the nation's most important documents, including some they didn't even know they had, like said letter.

Transcript MELISSA BLOCK, HOST: 'I Ate A Lot Of Apples': Tracy Chevalier On Writing Her 'Orchard' Novel By NPR Staff • Mar 12, 2016 Writer Tracy Chevalier spins fiction from history. Her best-selling novel Girl with a Pearl Earring was set in the 17th-century studio of Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer; 2010's Remarkable Creatures focused on 19th-century English fossil hunters; and 2005's The Lady and the Unicorn told the stories of medieval tapestry weavers. Now, Chevalier's latest book looks at a pioneer family trying to scrape out a life in the swamps of Ohio. Female Sportscasters Feel Staying On Defensive Is Part Of The Job By NPR Staff • Mar 12, 2016 Women sportscasters are heartened by the jury verdict this week that awarded their colleague Erin Andrews $55 million. Andrews was secretly videotaped while naked by a stalker through the peephole in her hotel room door. Both the stalker and the hotel owner were found liable. Politics Podcast: There's Another Super Tuesday? By NPR Staff • Mar 11, 2016 The NPR Politics team is back with the weekly roundup. This week, they talk debates, fashion and what to expect on March 15, when more than a thousand delegates are at stake in six nominating contests across the country. As always, the team wraps up their discussion with "Can't Let It Go," where they share what happened this week that they just can't get off their minds. On the podcast: Campaign Reporter Sam Sanders Congressional Reporter Susan Davis Why Fastest U.S. College Mile Runner Won't Be Vying To Be NCAA Champ By NPR Staff • Mar 11, 2016 Last week, Izaic Yorks, a senior at the University of Washington, ran a mile in 3:53 — the fastest college mile ever by an American. The effort qualifies him for the Olympic trials this summer. So why isn't Yorks running in the mile at this weekend's NCAA championships in Birmingham, Ala.? Turns out, he had to make a decision: run that mile alone, or run with his team in the distance medley relay or DMR. Canine Or Cuisine? This Photo Meme Is Fetching By NPR Staff • Mar 11, 2016 We here at The Salt like to bring you serious journalistic tails from the world of food. But hey, we like to unleash our silly side, too — and like the rest of the world, we've got a soft spot for man's (and woman's) best friend. So of course, we're howling with delight at the latest food images charming the Internet: Meme-meister Karen Zack's clever Twitter photos highlighting the eerie resemblance between mutts and meals. In some cases, it takes dogged determination to separate the canines from the cuisine. Do You Sacrifice One For Many? Mirren's Latest Film Has No Easy Answers By NPR Staff • Mar 11, 2016 Helen Mirren says she hopes her new film "doesn't cause any divorces." That's because Eye in the Sky raises some very tricky moral questions. Mirren plays a U.K.-based colonel overseeing a secret drone operation in Kenya. Her mission is to capture a terrorist target, but when it becomes clear the target is assembling a suicide vest for an imminent attack, the question becomes whether to capture or kill. Jelani Cobb On His Epic 'New Yorker' Piece On Black Lives Matter By NPR Staff • Mar 9, 2016 Before Black Lives Matter was a hashtag, before it was a slogan chanted by protesters in cities across the country, before it was a national movement, it was a Facebook post by an Oakland-based activist named Alicia Garza. She wrote it after George Zimmerman was acquitted in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Politics Podcast: Why Doesn't Anybody Want To Be Establishment? By NPR Staff • Mar 7, 2016 The NPR Politics team returns with a quick take about a word that seems to be on everyone's mind, both Democrats and Republicans alike: establishment. The team discusses what the establishment really means and why people are so reluctant to say they are a part of it. The team also talks debates, the contests coming up this week, and Madonna (yes, really). On the podcast: Campaign Reporter Sam Sanders Digital Political Reporter Danielle Kurtzleben Why Digital Security Is An 'Arms Race' Between Firms And The Feds By NPR Staff • Mar 7, 2016 The Apple-FBI standoff, where Apple is refusing to write special software that would help investigators crack into an iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters, is largely viewed as a battle between privacy and security. Pastor Max Lucado Baffled Over Evangelical Trump Supporters By NPR Staff • Mar 6, 2016 If you've been following the presidential campaign, you have probably heard some talk about the power of the evangelical vote. Pastor Max Lucado is a prominent evangelical pastor and a prolific best-selling writer who almost never writes about politics. And that's one reason millions found a recent essay of his so interesting. Lucado took to his website to describe all the reasons he says Republican front-runner Donald Trump's tone and decorum fail the decency test, in a blog post titled "Decency for President." The Case For Closing — And Keeping Open — Guantanamo By NPR Staff • Mar 6, 2016 President Obama has been talking about closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since he ran for president in 2008. Now, eight years later, his administration has put out a plan to make it happen. The plan is to transfer some of the remaining detainees to other countries and those who can't be transferred would be moved to a facility in the U.S. And that's the part of the plan many in Congress are railing against. On Verge Of 70, Sally Field Navigates Aging In The Spotlight By NPR Staff • Mar 5, 2016 From M'Lynn Eatenton in Steel Magnolias to Mary Todd in Lincoln, Academy Award-winning actress Sally Field doesn't shy away from taking on emotionally charged and challenging roles. All of these characters become a part of her in a sense. "They stay in me and they have always changed me in some way," Field tells NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro. Now, playing a woman in her late 60s with some borderline personality issues for her latest film, Hello, My Name Is Doris, part of Doris is already in Field. 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' Challenges Stereotypes One Song At A Time By NPR Staff • Mar 4, 2016 The Final Chapter Of A Tale Of Books, Love And Mystery In Minneapolis By NPR Staff • Mar 1, 2016 It was a love of mystery novels that brought Gary Shulze and Pat Frovarp together — a love of God Is a Bullet by Boston Teran, to be specific. "I was looking at books," Frovarp, who is 75, tells NPR's Ari Shapiro. "Gary and I had seen each other. We didn't know one another. And he walked over to me in this particular bookstore and handed me a book by Teran and said, 'You've gotta read this book, it's really good.'" Has 'An American In Paris' Been Honking Up The Wrong Key? By NPR Staff • Mar 1, 2016 Sentenced To Death For Murder, A Woman Tells Her Story From 'Memory' By NPR Staff • Mar 1, 2016 Petina Gappah's new novel is narrated by a woman named Memory who is telling her story from inside a maximum security prison in Harare. She's been sentenced to death for murdering her adoptive father. The story, Memory explains, "begins on a long-ago day in August when the sun seared my blistered face and I was nine years old and my father and mother sold me to a strange man." Originals: How To Spot One, How To Be One By NPR Staff • Feb 29, 2016 Consider this: Frank Lloyd Wright was a procrastinator. Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are afraid of taking risks. Most of Beethoven's compositions are pretty awful. Conventional wisdom suggests these originals were successful despite their hemming and hawing, their hedging, and their many flops. But Wharton professor Adam Grant says these defects are actually fundamental to originality. In his new book, Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World, Adam investigates who comes up with great ideas, how, and what we can do to have more of them. She Survived An 'Honor Killing': Oscar-Winning Documentary Airs Tonight By NPR Staff • Feb 29, 2016 This post was updated on March 4. On March 7, the film that won the Oscar for best documentary, short subject, will have its television premiere, airing on HBO at 9 p.m.. A Girl In The River: The Price Of Forgiveness is by Pakistani director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. The 40-minute documentary tackles the tough topic of honor killings in Pakistan, from a rare point of view: a survivor's. Saba, an 18-year-old girl, was shot and thrown in a river by her own family for secretly eloping with her lover — and lived to tell the tale. Pages« first ‹ previous … 4 5 6 7 … next › last »

Will Covering Your Lips In Plastic Make Them Softer? (We Found Out!)
We've long been obsessed with lip products and potions around here, so is it any surprise that an unusual launch results in the triumphant slapping-down of a credit card? From glitzy temporary lip tattoos to supposedly weight loss-inducing gloss, we've tried any and all WTF-inducing products we could find — but does this one put them to shame?
Anna Sui's latest offering, the beautifully packaged Moisture Lip Treatment, seems to be the perfect (albeit bizarro) cure for a winter-worn kisser. The set contains one uber-emollient lip balm (rose-scented, of course!) and — wait for it — moisturizing lip wrap. What is moisturizing lip wrap, you ask? As far as we can tell, it differs very little from that of the Saran variety, but shhh: try first, ask questions later. Slather on the salve and apply one sheet of the wrap…and wait. (The instructions recommend that you plastic up that pout for about three minutes.)
Our lips were left plump, lineless, and yes, moisturized, but we're not sure yet if it makes the cut into our nighttime beauty regimen. As you can't leave the lip wrap on overnight (hello, suffocation!), make sure those three minutes of silence fit well into your routine. Please keep in mind that it's hard to defend you and your silly-looking lips when they are covered in plastic. What we want to know: what happens when you run out of baby lip masks?
Is this balm the bomb and worth a try? Or are you sticking to Burt's Bees?
Moisture Lip Treatment, $28, available at Anna Sui, 113 Greene Street (at Prince), New York; (212) 941-8406; and online at Urban Outfitters.

Sherrilyn Ifill has served as president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund since January, and she says that while "the signs are all around me that I'm new" — including bare walls in her offices in New York and Washington — she feels "quite settled in." This may be partly due to her familiarity with the organization: Ifill worked as an assistant counsel at LDF early in her career. Now a veteran of civil-rights litigation, she has taught since 1993 at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law, from which she is currently on leave. Citing the importance of fully committing to her post and "giving the organization what it needs," Ifill plans to abstain from litigation for two years. She then hopes to return to the courts.
During her first stint at LDF, Ifill was involved in the case of Houston Lawyers Association v. Attorney General of Texas, in which the Supreme Court held that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act applies to judicial elections. At the University of Maryland, she established a clinical practice with her students, representing low-income and minority clients in the Baltimore area. Ifill says the experience "really opened me up to a kind of full-service civil-rights practice." While the cases rarely brought her to federal court, she says the work was instructive and rewarding.
LDF is involved in a number of high-profile legal battles, including Shelby County v. Holder, in which the Supreme Court invalidated Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act. Ifill maintains that "the record was about as solid as it could be" with respect to the standard for preclearance of local election laws, but she says, "for people who were at the oral arguments, the writing on the wall was clear." The fallout from the ruling has been swift. Texas reinstated a voter-identification law that LDF had succeeding in blocking through litigation in Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District Number One v. Holder. "Part of our job," Ifill explains, "is to ask or compel governments — state or federal — to protect the civil rights of their residents."
In addition to voting rights, Ifill says, "there's an array of economic issues that are crying out for a civil-rights frame. They're really issues around practices that disproportionately affect minorities." She ticks off a list of what she terms "practices that are blocking people from being able to move into the middle class." These include student-loan debt, debt collection, foreclosures, and retroactive criminal-background checks. Even as she leads an organization historically associated with African-Americans, Ifill emphasizes the importance of broadening public interest in questions of civil rights. "We're really in a critical moment in this country," she says, and "we are poised to understand the connection between civil rights and democracy. Civil rights is really a democracy movement." During her research for a book on the last recorded lynchings in Maryland, she says she discovered, "There is a real hunger for, but a real fear of, conversations about race."
Ifill, 50, was raised in New York City, the youngest of 10 children. She credits her father, an electrician who later became a social worker, with exposing her and her siblings to issues of social justice. She recalls watching journalist Gil Noble's Like It Is program, and tuning in to both parties' national conventions beginning in 1972. Then-Rep. Barbara Jordan, D-Texas, was "a huge inspiration" during the Watergate proceedings, Ifill says. She counts herself fortunate to hold a position that is consistent with her "lifelong dream."
Ifill splits her time between New York and Baltimore. She is married with three children. She earned a bachelor's degree from Vassar College in 1984 and a law degree from New York University in 1987. A lover of art and theater — "things that feed the spirit" — she says she is happiest when reading and writing. Ifill is currently at work on a book on Supreme Court confirmation hearings since Brown v. Board of Education.

Trump, in a statement: "Based on the fact that the Democratic nominating process is totally rigged and Crooked Hillary Clinton and Deborah Wasserman Schultz will not allow Bernie Sanders to win, and now that I am the presumptive Republican nominee, it seems inappropriate that I would debate the second place finisher. ... I will wait to debate the first place finisher in the Democratic Party, probably Crooked Hillary Clinton, or whoever it may be."
"It's about time for unity," said UAW President Dennis Williams. "We're endorsing Hillary Clinton. She's gotten 3 million more votes than Bernie, a million more votes than Donald Trump. She's our nominee." He called Sanders "a great friend of the UAW" while saying Trump "does not support the economic security of UAW families." Some 28 percent of UAW members indicated their support for Trump in an internal survey.
"Donald Trump on Thursday reached the number of delegates needed to clinch the Republican nomination for president, completing an unlikely rise that has upended the political landscape and sets the stage for a bitter fall campaign. Trump was put over the top in the Associated Press delegate count by a small number of the party's unbound delegates who told the AP they would support him at the convention."
"Clinton and Bernie Sanders "are now devoting additional money to television advertising. A day after Sanders announced a new ad buy of less than $2 million in the state, Clinton announced her own television campaign. Ads featuring actor Morgan Freeman as well as labor leader and civil rights activist Dolores Huerta will air beginning on Fridayin Fresno, Sacramento, and Los Angeles media markets. Some ads will also target Latino voters and Asian American voters. The total value of the buy is about six figures according to the Clinton campaign." Meanwhile, a new poll shows Sanders within the margin of error, trailing Clinton 44%-46%.
