AdvisorOne contributor Angela Herbers delivered a presentation titled "P4—Building Great Businesses by Creating Great Employees," based on a whitepaper of the same name, to an enthusiastic crowd at the 2012 FPA Retreat in Scottsdale, Ariz. on Monday.
Herbers (left), principal with the advisor consulting firm Angela Herbers, Inc., recently concluded a five-year study on the differences between advisory firms with high and low employee morale. She is also funding research at Kansas State University, where she serves as a faculty member, into the causes of, and cures for, advisor stress.
She began by describing the four "Ps" in the title—preparation, pay, perks and productivity.
"If you master these four areas of your business as they relate to your employees, it will eliminate the need for micromanaging (or even managing), annual reviews and generational issues," Herbers said.
The difference in attitudes at a P4 firm compared with non-P4 firms can be demonstrated in the following way:
P4 firm—"Why aren't we marketing more, growing faster, what we can do to bring in more business?"
Non-P4 firm—"I don't get enough time off and I need to make more money."
"It's a mental attitude," Herbers added. "Instead of trying to hire great employees, the no-problem firms were creating an environment where their employees were prepared, equipped and enabled to help their firms succeed."
She then moved to a discussion of each of the four:
Preparation—The first and hardest P4 principle to implement is preparation: To create great employees, firm owners need to first prepare themselves to support the success of their employees, and then prepare their employees to be great. The first step is creating an owner's mentality that focuses on building a successful business. The second step of preparation is designing a culture that fuels passion, purpose, growth and happiness—it's about sending a clear message to the employees that their job is important, and that their firm and its owner stands behind them. The third step is about giving employees the basic knowledge and skills to excel within that culture: how to communicate, to ask questions, to learn to do their jobs their way, to fuel personal happiness and to know what the goals of the firm are.
Pay—The single most powerful employee motivator is to tie a portion of their compensation to the success of the business. The best way to do this is through revenue-based incentives (which are easy to calculate, easy to understand and eliminate the profit-sharing issues surrounding legitimate costs in small businesses). Compensation rewards that increase as a firm grows create a sense of ownership (in lieu of actual ownership) that is essential to maximizing employee contributions to a business' success.
Perks—There are a lot of benefits that employers offer to employees, from medical benefits to retirement benefits to lifestyle benefits. Which benefits really motivate employees? Employers must offer medical and retirement benefits, but more importantly, creating a flexible work environment is a good motivator. Plus, it can be tailored to each employee's needs and optimal work habits without disrupting the firm's goals.
Productivity—There is probably no stronger message that a business can send to its employees than the quality of the tools it provides to get their jobs done. Today, that means cutting-edge technology and training to use more of that technology's functionality. Obsolete or barely functional technology tells employees their job is not important and their time is not valued.
"Once the P4 principles are in place, most businesses virtually run themselves, with employees managing themselves and each other," Herbers concluded. "Still, owners must make a mental shift from trying to manage their business to supporting their employees to be as good as they can be. It's not about recruiting great employees. As we've seen, an unsupportive company can make problem employees out of good ones every time."

Below is a selection of the news stories and book reviews related to law and the arts that caught my attention last week.
A U.S. district court has allowed a lawsuit brought against Hungary and its museums by the heirs of art collector Baron Mor Lipot Herzog to proceed. Herzog's heirs brought the suit after unsuccessfully petitioning the Hungarian government for the return of art, collectively valued at more than $100 million, "most of which has been hanging in Hungarian museums, where it was left for safekeeping during World War II or placed after being stolen by the Nazis and later returned to Hungary" (NYT). Hungary argued that it was entitled to immunity under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, but the court was not convinced. The lawsuit seeks the "the return of more than 40 artworks including paintings, sculptures and other works by El Greco, Lucas Cranach the Elder, Zubarán, van Dyck, Velázquez and Monet," and "an accounting of all art from the Herzog family in its possession" (NYT). (Sources: New York Times, Clancco, Reuters, Hungary on Trial)
A California court has denied Madonna's bid to have a trademark case against her over her Material Girl clothing line thrown out. Retailer LA Triumph claims it has been using the name for a clothing line since 1997 and that it owns the trademark. Madonna argues that her use dates back farther to her 1985 hit song. But the court concluded that Madonna's argument was an insufficient basis for the summary judgment that she sought: "This Court and other courts have recognized that the singing of a song does not create a trademark." Thus the case will continue on to trial. (Sources: Hollywood Reporter, BBC)
A Paris court has found that television newsreader Patrick Poivre d'Arvor breached the privacy of a former lover through his undisguised portrait of her in a 2009 novel Fragments of a Lost Woman. In addition to many details drawn from her life, the book included virtual word-for-word copies of eleven letters that she had written to him. Poivre d'Arvor argued that the book was a work of fiction based on his "numerous female conquests," but the court was not persuaded, concluding: "The literary procedures used do not allow the reader to differentiate the characters from reality, such that the work cannot be qualified as fictional." The court imposed a fine and a ban on reprinting of the novel. (Source: Telegraph)
Matthew Jones, author of the screenplay for Boot Tracks and the novel upon which it was based, is suing the director and producers of the film. He claims that they made unauthorized changes to the script which constitute a breach of an option agreement. His complaint reads in part: "Defendant Jacobson and Rattner promised that the screenplay would not be changed, that they understood the unique artistic integrity of the screenplay and that if changes did have to be made in order to secure financing that plaintiff would be the only one allowed to make said changes, which would be consistent with the authenticity of the novel." In addition to breach of contract, Jones alleges copyright infringement and fraud. He is seeking damages and an injunction to prevent release of the film.

Prompted by the impending release of an eagerly anticipated new film adaptation of John Le Carre's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy with Gary Oldman playing the role of George Smiley, Robert McCrum has compiled a list of the best British spy novels. Click here to see his list and assess his choices. Has he left out any must-reads?
In an interview with the Guardian, A.D. Miller discusses his Booker-shortlisted novel Snowdrops which features as its narrator "a lonely, drifting, 30something expat lawyer, living in Moscow during the few-questions-asked oil boom." Definitely one that I'm keen to read.
German lawyer and author Ferdinand von Schirach has garnered high praise for short stories based on his criminal defense work. But in his latest work of fiction, he has turned to the past, tackling his fraught family history. The soon to be published novel, Der Fall Collini, includes a character based on his grandfather who was leader of the Hitler Youth and ultimately convicted of crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg trials. The Guardian quotes from an interview that von Schirach did with Focus magazine: "If you grow up with a name like mine, by the time you are 15 or 16 at the latest, you have to ask yourself some basic questions and come up with some very basic answers that you can live with. It's your responsibility." His grappling with these questions through the medium of fiction will doubtless make for though-provoking reading. I don't know when an English translation is due to be published, but I will certainly be watching for it.
Reviewer Joanna Hines is pleased to have discovered in Death in August, the first installment in a mystery series by Marco Vichi set in 1960s Florence, a new detective (Inspector Bordelli) "whose company will be an enduring pleasure." She pronounces the book: "A real find for anyone who likes their crime novels atmospheric, discursive, humorous and thought-provoking." Sounds very promising. (The Guardian)

Braves support Freeman with 'Hugs for Votes'
Atlanta players wear T-shirts promoting Final Vote candidacy of first baseman
MIAMI -- Most of the optimism surrounding the Braves entering this season centered around the offseason additions of the Upton brothers. But as B.J. and Justin have produced disappointing results thus far, Freddie Freeman has carried the load and proven to be the undeniable Most Valuable Player of a club that has been in first place longer than any other Major League club this season.
"I think everybody in this clubhouse knows that," Braves veteran pitcher Tim Hudson said. "He's been consistent all year. He's gotten the big hits. He's a baseball player and he's really good. He's a pure, pure hitter, and nowadays, there aren't too many of them."
As Freeman has progressed through the first half of his third Major League season, he has continued to display power to all fields and the ability to consistently put the ball in play, especially in clutch situations. The 23-year-old Braves first baseman is one of 14 National League players who have hit at least .300 and produced a slugging percentage of at least .450.
But he is the only member of this group that has not yet gained an All-Star selection.
Freeman's hope to compete in the All-Star Game for the first time hinges on whether he maintains his lead over the four other NL candidates on this year's Final Vote ballot. When the latest results were released Tuesday morning, Freeman was holding a slight lead over Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig and Giants outfielder Hunter Pence.
"I want a teammate that I can give hugs to out there," said closer Craig Kimbrel, who currently stands as the only Braves representative on the NL roster.
Playing off the fact that Freeman has become known for the frequent hugs he gives teammates before, during and after games, Braves players showed their support on Tuesday afternoon by wearing T-shirts that read: Hugs for Votes #VoteFreddie.
"He should have been on the All-Star team to start with," Hudson said. "But [the Final Vote] is bringing some recognition to the kind of player he is. I think he's been very underrated around baseball. I think people are starting to see he's really, really good."
You've asked how you can get a Hugs for Votes #VoteFreddie t-shirt. There's only 1 way to get it: Win it here!- Atlanta Braves (@Braves) July 9, 2013
Actually, Freeman was beginning to show his tremendous potential last year before he spent the season's final four months battling confidence in his vision and the lingering discomfort of a badly bruised finger.
Everything seemed to be great on May 7, 2012, when Freeman earned his second NL Player of the Week Award in a span of five weeks. But as he was taking batting practice at Wrigley Field that day, he began battling the vision problems that would bother him the remainder of the season.
Freeman's injury woes continued when he strained an oblique muscle the day before this season began. He still homered in his first at-bat against Cole Hamels during an Opening Day win over the Phillies, and he hit .412 in the five games he played before being sidelined.
"The past couple of years, it seems like it's been one thing after another," Freeman said. "Now, I feel like I'm back to where I was. Having confidence in yourself and being healthy, I think that is huge in everybody's career."
While Freeman reluctantly went on the disabled list, he has reaped the benefits of the decision, as he has spent the past couple of months positioning himself to drive in 100 runs for the first time in his big league career.
Freeman entered Tuesday ranked fourth in the NL with a .394 batting average with runners in scoring position.

"When he's right, he's got big power," Braves hitting coach Greg Walker said. "But he hasn't focused on it too much this year. Last year, I think he worried about it a little bit. But this year, he values RBIs and helping the team. You put him in a RBI situation, and he's about as good as it gets."

This week, President Obama signed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act-the first major bipartisan bill enacted by a deeply polarized congress since the election. The act will replace junk food in school lunches and vending machines with more healthful options.
Several jurisdictions have taken similar action. The Hawaii, California, New York and Florida legislatures passed resolutions recommending vegan school options. Last year, the Baltimore City public school system became the first in the nation to offer its 80,000 students a weekly meat-free lunch. According to the School Nutrition Association, 65 per cent of U.S. schools now offer vegetarian lunch options.
In the past, the USDA has used the National School Lunch Program as a dumping ground for surplus meat and dairy commodities. Not surprisingly, 90 percent of American children consume excessive amounts of fat, and only 15 per cent eat the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables. These early dietary flaws become lifelong addictions, raising the risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Those who care about our children's health should demand healthful, plant-based school meals, snacks and vending machine items. Additional information is available at [healthyschoollunches.org], [choiceusa.net] and [schoolnutrition.org].

Although he may not have any tiger blood, the other star of "Two and a Half Men" is finally winning.
Actor Jon Cryer has landed a new gig at "the Ellen DeGeneres Show."
It's certainly not as glamorous as his old job, but in the star's own words, "I needed the work."
U.S. & World
The bit was posted on Ellen's website Thursday morning, and is apparently the first we've seen of Cryer since "Two and a Half Men" went from a comedy to a drama to a soap opera to a David Lynch movie.http://wbads.vo.llnwd.net/o25/u/telepixtv/ellen/us/video/player/embed.swf
As expected, Cryer has kept quiet since co-star Charlie Sheen began his no-holds-barred attack against producer Chuck Lorre via a series of escalating rants. CBS fired back by canceling the comedy.
Everyone seems to have an opinion on Sheen (even CBS top dog Les Moonves), but Cryer has managed to avoid most of the drama. Over the weekend, Cryer's publicist actually had to deny reports her client joined Twitter.
Elsewhere in the Twittersphere, Sheen has earned the Guinness Record for the fastest person ever to get one million followers.
"In all sincerity... Thank you Twitter community for the warm reception & the followers that helped get me to 1M in 24 hours!!! #teamsheen," wrote Sheen Thursday.

Be It unto Me
Be it unto me according to Thy word
Was the message Mary gave unto the Lord
So the Christmas tale began
For the benefit of man
And it changes lives wherever it is heard.
1. A boy was born that night
In a stable in the hay
And we'll have life eternal
If we follow in His way.
2. His message brings us joy
And shows us how to love
By following His teachings
With help from God above.
3. At a time when peace is scarce
And all nations are at war
We need our Savior's message
Even now, more than before.
Ah, more than before.

Richard Dowden: Today Mali, Tomorrow Nigeria for Al-Qaeda
by Richard Dowden
From being a blank spot on the map, the Sahara now looks like a springboard for the advance of militant Islam.
Until recently Mali was famous only for its music and for Timbuktu — our nickname for nowhere. Suddenly the French are invading this huge, poor, sparsely populated, landlocked African country, much of which is empty desert. Britain is helping them (if we can get our aircraft to fly).
Just a couple of years ago Mali was held up by Western aid donors as a success. It had been relatively democratic since the Malians overthrew a dictatorship in 1992. And despite being poor — its main earners are gold and cotton — it functioned better than many of its neighbours. But last March there was a coup and now its Government is ineffective. What went wrong?
First, the Government was not in fact as good as the donors proclaimed. Basking in Western aid and praise, it became complacent, corrupt and did not deliver development, especially in the poor North of the country. Sensing discontent among the population, a young army captain, Amadou Haya Sanogo, seized power last year. Although he was forced to accept a civilian president and prime minister and prepare the country to return to democratic rule, he remains a powerful but unaccountable player.
Second, the North of the country, the Sahara desert, has been home to Salafist rebels pushed out from Algeria in the late 1990s and targeted by militant Islamist movements inspired and funded by Saudi Wahhabi Islamic fundamentalists, preaching jihad against the West.
Like many, my first reaction was that they were welcome to live in the desert. What damage could they do there? But the desert, flat and empty, is also like a sea, in that people can cross with few natural obstacles and no visible state boundaries. It is perfect for smuggling money, drugs, cigarettes, guns and people across vast distances and several borders. Foreigners were, and still are, often kidnapped.
The desert was also home to the Tuareg, tough camel-riding nomads with their distinctive blue turbans, who managed the trans-Sahara trade. Traditionally they were like an aristocracy, keeping themselves apart from the black Africans to the south and frequently enslaving them. But droughts in the 1980s and 1990s destroyed their herds, and many of the young Tuareg went north to join Colonel Gaddafi's Army.
When he was overthrown in 2011, they grabbed as much weaponry as they could and headed back to Mali, planning to seize the North and declare it an independent country called Azawad. They found well-funded allies in the Islamists and launched their rebellion in January last year, pushing the Malian Army back before taking the entire North of the country and declaring it independent shortly after Captain Sanogo's coup.
The Tuareg may have had the guns but the Islamists had the money and a strategy. The Islamists also started destroying historic Islamic shrines and, apparently, the ancient libraries of Timbuktu. Well armed and battle-hardened, they then turned on their Tuareg allies and routed them. The Tuareg nationalists have now called off their demand for an independent state but they have made themselves unpopular.
Suddenly from being a blank space on the map, the Sahara from Senegal in the west to Somalia in the east is beginning to look like the springboard for a new Islamist offensive by AQIM (al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb) and other Islamist groups. Mali borders seven African countries; next-door Niger, an equally fragile state, another five. According to Africa Confidential, a well-respected newsletter, the Islamists are targeting Mauritania next, with its rich fishing grounds and mineral wealth, and then Niger, which has uranium and oil.
But the biggest prize would be the destabilisation of Nigeria to the southeast, shortly to take over from South Africa as Africa's biggest economy and chief foreign supplier of oil for the US. Nigeria already has its own Islamist insurgency, Boko Haram, which has received weapons and training from AQIM. In 2010 Boko Haram bombed the UN headquarters in the capital, Abuja, in the centre of the country, and has attacked churches and government buildings in northern cities. But it has not yet hit targets in the mainly Christian south.
There are reports that the Islamist groups are fighting among themselves, which may happen if all the attacks are in Muslim areas. Most of this part of Africa was traditionally Sufi Islamic — tolerant of local practices that are blasphemous to strict Wahhabi Islam. Shrines and tombs of local holy men and saints are now being desecrated and women forced to stay at home and wear the full hijab in public.
In Mali women have traditionally played a substantial role in public affairs and dressed in bright colours, their hair often uncovered. But today they wear black or drab green or brown and are forced to stay at home and are only allowed to meet a man if accompanied by a male relative.
Last week Islamist rebels in Mali began to advance south towards the capital, Bamako, taking the key town of Konna. The French realised that the Malian Army was incapable of stopping them and launched their own counter-attack by air.
Mali was part of their African estate and until recently France has remained engaged with its former territories far more closely than Britain has. Since 2006 the US has taken the lead on opposing Islamic militancy in Africa, establishing military training missions in most countries bordering the Sahara. One of the most alarming outcomes of the Mali episode is that most of the US-trained troops are reported to have either stayed in their barracks or deserted and joined the Islamists. But now the US cannot give direct military support to the Mali government because, under US law, it can only give such aid to democracies.
Can this rebellion be stopped by air attacks? Bombing arms dumps and concentrations of rebels may hinder their advance but AQIM can only be quelled by troops on the ground who have the support of locals. At present the Malian Army is weak and lacks morale. That means the French will probably have to provide the core of a force that includes soldiers from other West African countries. They may get help from Tuareg nationalists but they remain untrusted.
Laurent Fabius, the French Foreign Minister, has said the action in Mali would be over "in a matter of weeks". These are words he may regret.

A new study holds up a mirror to America's parents. A researcher at Harvard surveyed 10,000 middle and high school students in 33 different schools around the nation about what they thought their folks cared about most: that they achieve at a high level, that they are happy (defined as "feeling good most of the time"), or that they care for others. Almost 80 percent of youth picked high achievement or happiness as their top choice, while about 20 percent selected caring for others. The survey also shows that about 80 percent of kids themselves rank achievement or happiness as most important, paralleling what they believe their parents value most.
Mari Brennan Barerra and Joel Barrera are your quintessential do-gooders. They both work in the public sector, sit on multiple nonprofit boards, volunteer at a soup kitchen, and even picked their church because it was the one most committed to community service. Not surprisingly, they also say they have made it a priority to raise their kids to be caring and contributing.
If their daughter, Mila, 15, had to say whether her parents cared more about her being good to others or being successful, she says it'd be close, but she'd have to say "good," she hedges.
Her brother, James, 13, however, doesn't hesitate.
"Successful," he says.
How does he know? Because achievement in school is what his parents nag him about, and reward him for, the most. For example, they let him quit volunteering at the soup kitchen when he didn't like it, but he gets no such pass on schoolwork. Similarly, Mila says, her parents got really happy and took her out to a nice restaurant for dinner to reward her for getting a B instead of a C.
"It's one of those things people say, like, I really want you to be a good person, like that's my main thing," she says. "But deep inside, it's like, but I really want you to be successful."
Rhetoric Vs. Reality
Rick Weissbourd's Making Caring Common Project at the Harvard Graduate School of Education published the study. Weissbourd says the results reveal a "rhetoric-reality gap" on the part of parents. In other research, parents have claimed that they value caring above all, but that's not what kids are internalizing.
"Kids are picking up on these mixed messages," he says. It could be little things, he says, like letting your son inflate his community-service commitment on a college application, or not asking your daughter to reach out to a friendless child on the playground.
"I don't think parents realize that these messages are drowning out other messages about caring and equality and fairness," Weissbourd says.
The study doesn't necessarily point to a decline in morality among young people. Still, Marvin Berkowitz, a professor of character education at the University of Missouri, St. Louis, says the results are troubling.
He references a Teddy Roosevelt quote: "To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society."
Character education is something of a trend in schools these days. Central Queens Academy, a public middle school in New York City, focuses on character and community. Kids there are rewarded for things like kindness and being a team player, not just for getting straight A's. But when students took part in the kindness survey, their answers were no different from anyone else's.
"It was eye-opening," says principal Jesse Tang. "Our school is trying to buck certain ways of thinking, and we are working against a lot of these influences."
One big influence is colleges, and what they value in the admissions process. They may pay lip service to community service but, Tang says, kids know what really counts.
Christoph Guttentag, dean of admissions at Duke University, says it makes sense that colleges should prioritize grades; they are, after all, academic institutions. And besides, he notes, it'd be hard to judge a kid's kindness from an application. But, he says, colleges could do a little more to incentivize good character.
"We have work to do in how we talk about what we value, and making decisions consistent with what we say," Guttentag says.
Small Gestures
Harvard's Weissbourd agrees that colleges could make a big difference with even small gestures. For example, he says, colleges could count hours that a student spent taking care of an elderly grandfather or baby sister as much as they count community service work in Costa Rica.
But ultimately, Weissbourd says, it comes down to parents walking the walk, not just talking the talk. It's a hard thing to do, even for the most committed humanitarians, like the Barreras, who like many are swayed by their economic anxieties. "Our main job as parents is to launch them into the world," says Joel Barrera. "You know, I just want her to be able to make her own way in the world." "I worry all the time," adds Mari. "I wonder what will happen down the road. ... I hope I'm not condemning my kids to a life of poverty."
But Weissbourd says the good news is that being caring and being a high achiever are not necessarily at odds with each other. Positive psychologists like Martin Seligman emphasize that "authentic happiness" comes from connection with other people, not just pursuing self-interest. Not only that, but empathy does tend to improve one's collaboration skills, which have made it onto the short list of "21st century literacies," suggesting that getting along with others is integral to achievement.
So the bottom line is, as Weissbourd points out, that teaching kids to be mindful of others could also make them more successful.
As well as, of course, just being the right thing to do.
Most parents would say that compassion and generosity are key building blocks to raising successful, well-rounded adults. But as NPR's Tovia Smith reports, that's not the message kids are getting.
TOVIA SMITH, BYLINE: Mari and Joel Barrera are your quintessential do-gooders. They both work in the public sector, sit on multiple boards, volunteer at a soup kitchen and even picked their church because it was most committed to community service. They also say it's a priority to raise their kids to be caring and contributing.
JOEL BARRERA: Talk about your service project, Mila.
MILA BARRERA: Oh, so I'm going to El Salvador this summer.
SMITH: If she had to say whether her parents cared more about her being good or successful, 15-year-old Mila says it'd be close, but she'd say good. Her 13-year-old brother, James, doesn't hesitate.
JAMES BARRERA: Successful.
SMITH: How does he know? 'Cause that's what his folks reward him for and nag him about most.
BARRERA: Most of the pressure is on the school side.
SMITH: For example, his parents let him quit the soup kitchen 'cause he didn't like it, but he gets no such pass on school work. Mila says she got dinner out when she got a B instead of a C, and grown-ups always light up when kids get into a great school instead of a good one.
BARRERA: It's like, parents say, like, it doesn't matter. But it does matter. And that's how you grow up - kind of like, oh, like, Harvard. And, like, I mean they want me to be successful.
SMITH: Mila and James are typical of the more than 10,000 middle and high school students around the nation surveyed by a Harvard researcher. Eighty percent say their parents care more that they're high achieving and happy than caring and good, even though for years parents have been telling researchers the opposite.
RICK WEISSBOURD: What was surprising about the research is a kind of rhetoric-reality gap, and kids are picking up on these mixed messages.
SMITH: Harvard researcher Rick Weissbourd says parents don't realize how their everyday small acts speak louder than their words.
WEISSBOURD: It's, you know, letting kids fudge about their community service in college applications, or it's not requiring kids to reach out to a friendless kid on the playground. I don't think most parents are aware that these quiet day-to-day messages are, in many cases, drowning out other messages about caring and integrity and fairness.
SMITH: Weissbourd's study does not suggest any decline in kids' morality. Indeed, Marvin Berkowitz, professor of character education at University of Missouri at St. Louis, doubts that's the case.
MARVIN BERKOWITZ: There are quotes going back at least three or 4,000 years in which adults lament that today's youth are the worst, morally, ever.
SMITH: But still, Berkowitz says, it is troubling that for so many kids achievement trumps morality.
BERKOWITZ: There's a great quote from Teddy Roosevelt in which he said to educate a person in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.
SMITH: So-called character education is trendy in schools these days. Jesse Tang is principal of Central Queens Academy, a public middle school in New York focused on character and community, where students are recognized for things like kindness and teamwork - not just for straight A's. But Tang's students who took part in the survey answered the same as the rest - that achievement is most important to their parents and their teachers.
JESSE TANG: It was eye-opening to see that achievement and kindness were so far apart. And so I think in terms of what our school is trying to do to buck certain mindsets or ways of thinking, certainly - we are kind of working against a lot of those influences.
SMITH: Especially from colleges who may say they value community service. But, Tang says, kids know what really counts. Christoph Guttentag, dean of admissions at Duke University, says it only makes sense that academic institutions care most about grades. and anyway he says it's hard to judge a kid's kindness from an application. But, Guttentag says, colleges could do a little more to incentivize good character.
CHRISTOPH GUTTENTAG: We have work to do in how we talk about what we value and making decisions consistent with what we say. It can have an impact on what students do but maybe not as much as we think.
SMITH: Harvard's Rick Weissbourd agrees. Ultimately it comes down to parents walking the walk and not just talking the talk. A hard thing to do, even for the most committed do-gooders like Mari and Joel Barrera.
BARRERA: Or main job as parents is to launch them into the world. And it's very hard even to stay middle-class. You know, I just want her to be able to make her own way in the world.
SMITH: The good news, Weissbourd says, is that teaching kids to be more mindful of others will also make them better collaborators at work. So besides being the right thing to do, he says, that might end up making kids more successful as well. Tovia Smith, NPR News, Boston.

This fantastic non-invasive rejuvenation procedure is the only needle-free method of wrinkle filling on the market.
It is a dual-action treatment that targets both the depth wrinkle itself and treats the cause long term, giving immediate results and preventing new lines.
The skin has the inbuilt ability to regenerate itself when supplied with the correct nutrients. But with ageing, skin loses its elasticity due to lack of moisture and natural slowdown of cellular processes, and wrinkles develop.
One reason for this is the body's reduced production of Hyaluronic acid.
Hydroporation is an application of the Poring-Method, through which the skin gets back these natural moisturising agents.
Hydroporation, the natural way towards refreshing and smoothing the appearance of wrinkled and loosening skin using a patented Poring-Method, is a true world first.
Only specially educated and tested skincare professionals are certified to apply the Poring-Method. This guarantees the highest standards of quality and ensures that the PoreJet is handled properly.
Skin Essentials by Mariga were the FIRST skin clinic with this certification in Ireland.
The PoreJet distributes the poring fluid evenly in the upper layers of skin. The pressure of the application makes the cell layers that are stuck detach from each other.
The PoreJet was developed to enrich Hyaluronan in a gentle and skin-friendly way. The texture of the skin is cared for through an extremely fine stream from the PoreJet.
In order to enable optimum distribution in the skin, a special Hyaluronic Acid is used – Poring-Fluid.
This approach to wrinkle treatment is revolutionary, as previously it was only possible to apply Hyaluronan products to the skin by means of painful injections using needles.
Once in the intracellular spaces, the Poring-Fluid absorbs a lot of water. This plumps up the epidermal layers and wrinkles are plumped out.
When it is introduced into the upper layers of skin, it has a direct smoothing effect on wrinkles. The skin's natural moisture reserves are lastingly replenished and the formation of collagen is promoted.
This makes the skin look visibly younger, both in the short- and the long-term.
Clients using Hydroporation for the first time receive three successive applications. Afterwards, one application every three to six months is enough.
Hydroporation provides a visible and effective smoothing on static lines such as lip lines and between the brows.
Hydroporation can be taken as a stand-alone treatment of hyaluronic shots only or as part of a full facial service. See pricing below.
Shots: €30 per shot (for example upper lip is 4 shots). How many shots you would need will be determined at your initial consultation.
Add-on: Add 2 hyaluronic shots to any facial from our menu for €55.

Common Food Safety Violations Documented by Federal Regulatory Agencies, Part I
By Jeff Tarrant, Commander, U.S. Public Health Service
In July 2011, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) developed a food safety cross training program to strengthen communication and collaboration efforts between USDA and HHS agencies on food safety issues in shared jurisdiction facilities. As part of the program, the agencies devised a method for reporting food safety violations to the appropriate organization if employees observed something questionable while conducting their normal day-to-day duties at federally regulated establishments.
So, what were the common violations noted by all three agencies? The Small Plant News editorial staff decided to answer this question by examining "significant observations" from each agency's training material. What we found is best broken down by these categories: General Facility, Processing, Storage, and Employee Health and Hygiene. We'll examine each of these in detail in this issue and in a future issue of Small Plant News.
General Facility Observations
Some common issues that arise during inspections involve the structure in which the establishment is housed and the grounds surrounding it. For instance, are interior and exterior structural conditions properly designed and maintained? Are doors, windows, and openings sealed and screened to prevent the entry of rodents, birds, and insects? Do the grounds adjacent to your building provide harborage or breeding areas for rodents or pests, e.g., tall grasses, improperly disposed garbage, and abandoned buildings?
Poor construction and maintenance can allow vermin and dust to enter, which can result in food products becoming adulterated. Poorly maintained buildings can also promote the growth of pathogens. Federal inspectors have documented numerous instances of peeling paint, rusting metal, torn plastic curtains, and broken racking systems, sometimes adjacent to raw or cooked food products. All too often, these materials become breeding grounds for viruses, bacteria, and environmental contaminants. Additional General Facility observations include cluttered establishments that do not permit proper cleaning or safe passage between equipment and non-operational exit doors, and inadequate emergency lighting.
Processing Observations
Common violations often documented by Federal food safety agencies include food contact equipment that is not adequately cleaned and sanitized prior to use, unsanitary conditions noted adjacent to food processing lines, and cleaning operations that are inadequate or that contaminate food-contact surfaces. A good example is crusted or old food particles noted on processing equipment. In addition, unclean equipment, such as hoses, containers, and mixing utensils, is often found in contact with finished food products. In these instances, if no kill steps, such as cooking, are applied in the establishment's production process, then the food products must be considered contaminated or adulterated. Of particular concern is condensate or waste lines dripping fluid onto food-contact surfaces, stored food containers, or food. Condensate is often seen in areas where steam is produced or in cold storage, especially where food products are placed to cool. In these instances, ceilings and surfaces of overhead equipment may not be cleaned frequently or adequately, leading to mold growth or the colonization of pathogens, such as Listeria monocytogenes.
Federal food agency inspections have also documented the presence of odors in processing areas. In some cases, these can indicate a possible problem with containment of gases (e.g., an ammonia system leak).
Two issues that all food safety agencies document involve facility employees placing food that has touched non-food-contact surfaces back into the processing lines without applying a kill step and inadequately separating food products not intended for human consumption from edible products. The first can be as simple as dropping food on the floor and placing it back on the line. These employee practices provide a route of contamination between non-food-contact surfaces, such as floors, pallets, or other equipment, and food-contact surfaces. The latter is often noted when establishments don't separate denatured or contaminated food products from products destined for shipment. In either case, foodborne pathogens can be spread to food products, thereby rendering them adulterated.
In the next issue of Small Plant News, we'll tackle common food safety violations noted by Federal regulatory agencies that fall under Storage and Employee Health and Hygiene categories.

A recent study conducted at Marshall University may eventually help scientists develop new treatments for prostate cancer, the most common malignancy in American men.
The study, which focused on the effects of cadmium on the prostate, was conducted by Dr. Pier Paolo Claudio, an associate professor in the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program and Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology at the university's Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, and an international team of colleagues from the University of L'Aquila and the National Cancer Institute in Italy, and the University of Colorado Denver and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in the United States.
An extremely toxic metal found in industrial workplaces, cadmium is commonly used in electroplating and is a key component in batteries and some paints. It is also found in cigarettes and some food supplies.
According to Claudio, scientists believe the prostate may be a target for cancer caused by cadmium, although the underlying mechanisms have been unclear.
"In our study, we investigated the effects of cadmium exposure in normal and in tumor cells derived from human prostate tissue," he said. "We were able to demonstrate the molecular mechanisms cadmium uses to induce carcinogenesis in the prostate."
Claudio, who said he has spent the last 15 years conducting research to understand the crosstalk between the factors that contribute to cancer progression versus those that protect from it, says this study is important because once those molecular mechanisms are understood, new therapies can be tailored to treat prostate cancer.
He added, "The focus of work in our laboratory is to understand the molecular mechanisms governing malignant transformation in order to tailor novel therapeutic strategies. To effectively design novel biological drugs, a thorough understanding of the mechanism of cancer pathogenesis is required. Our study will contribute to the body of knowledge available to science and may lead to exciting new treatments for this common cancer."

Home > Fitness & Health > Health Library > COPD Flare-Ups
When you have COPD, especially if you have chronic bronchitis, you may sometimes have sudden attacks where your breathing and coughing symptoms suddenly get worse and stay that way. These attacks are called COPD exacerbations, or flare-ups.
With treatment, many people recover and return to the same level of shortness of breath they had before the attack.
These attacks may be life-threatening. If your symptoms suddenly get worse, and if taking your medicine doesn't help, have someone take you to the emergency room. Call 911 if needed.
COPD attacks often occur more frequently, last longer, and are more severe the longer you have COPD.
The two most common causes of a COPD attack are:footnote 1
Having other health problems, such as heart failure or an abnormal heartbeat (arrhythmia) may also trigger a flare-up. In some cases, the cause is not known.
Here's what happens during an attack:
In a COPD attack, your usual symptoms suddenly get worse:
Some people also have a fever, insomnia, fatigue, depression, or confusion.
Treatment of a COPD attack depends on how bad it is. It may involve several visits to your doctor's office or clinic. Or you may need to be treated in the hospital.
To treat COPD attacks, experts recommend:

This combination of undated photos shows Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, left, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19. The FBI says the two brothers and suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing killed an MIT police officer, injured a transit officer in a firefight and threw explosive devices at police during a getaway attempt in a long night of violence that left Tamerlan dead and Dzhokhar still at large on Friday, April 19, 2013. The ethnic Chechen brothers lived in Dagestan, which borders the Chechnya region in southern Russia. They lived near Boston and had been in the U.S. for about a decade, one of their uncles reported said. (AP Photo/The Lowell Sun & Robin Young)

Rove's Final Pre-Election WSJ Column Again Exposes His Problematic Role
Karl Rove's last pre-election column for the Wall Street Journal ran in this morning's paper and features his prediction that Mitt Romney will win "at least 279 Electoral College votes." Rove's prediction of a Romney victory is the inevitable conclusion of his problematic role at the Wall Street Journal during this election cycle, where he has routinely used his weekly column to forward the financial interests of the political groups he founded.
As Media Matters has documented extensively, Rove's role as a media figure this election has been heavily influenced by his involvement with American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, two political groups spending hundreds of millions of dollars to swing next week's elections.
For more than a year, the Journal gave Rove a platform to assess the presidential race without regularly disclosing his relationship to Crossroads. The paper started disclosing Rove's conflict of interest in his bio starting in late September following widespread criticism from current and former editorial page editors at other major papers.
Rove has used his WSJ column to promote Romney's electoral prospects in various states that Crossroads was flooding with money; push dishonest smears of Obama; and tout Crossroads' own important role in cutting ads "highlighting the shortcomings" of Obama's policies, even as fact-checkers have routinely labeled his groups' ads dishonest.
Taken as a whole, Rove's column today amounts to little more than Rove using the Wall Street Journal as a megaphone for himself and other Republican operatives to deliver a pep talk before the election, a fact consistent with the columns that have come before during this election season.
Rove lists what he sees as a variety of encouraging data points for Romney heading into next week. In addition to Gallup numbers and cherrypicking data from Ohio polls (a state where Crossroads has spend millions), Rove cites the following sources for his optimism: "a Republican National Committee Summary," former Bush campaign official Adrian Gray, Romney Ohio campaign director Scott Jennings, and Kelly Nallen the "data maven" for American Crossroads.
Conservatives have been looking to keep their "Romney momentum" narrative alive, despite evidence to the contrary. (Expect Rove to appear on Fox News shortly to trumpet this prediction as well.) On cue, the official GOP Twitter account sent out a link to Rove's "must-read" column this morning, which Rove promptly thanked them for sharing:
Among the other reasons not to take Rove's prediction as an honest assessment of the race: he has quite a spotty record with electoral predictions. Most infamously, during an appearance on NPR two weeks before the 2006 midterm elections, Rove chided host Robert Siegel for pointing out that Democrats are outpolling Republicans. Rove said: "I'm looking at all of these, Robert, and adding them up. I add up to a Republican Senate and Republican House. You may end up with a different math but you are entitled to your math and I'm entitled to the math." Of course, two weeks later the Democrats regained control of both chambers of Congress.
Even if Obama was up by 10 points in every swing state poll, it's doubtful Rove would have used his Wall Street Journal column to do anything other than cheer Romney's chances, as predicting an Obama win would essentially amount to Rove admitting that the millions of dollars and dozens of frequently-dishonest ads run by his political groups had failed.

text: I have 4 preference points going into the 2012 draw. Looking at the drawing odds in the Eastmans MRS section it will say something like 10% odds with 5 preference points, but then to the right there is a column that says estimated points to draw and it will say something like 25. I don't understand this, it seems with 10% draw odds you should have a decent chance to draw within ten years just based on the odds. Does 25 mean it is estimated that it takes 25 years to draw on average?

100 pelicans found dead in Brevard County; cause unknown
Birds emaciated, filled with parasites
About 100 brown pelicans have been found dead in Brevard County in the past two months and officials are not sure why, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said.
The birds are found emaciated and filled with parasites.
"The pelicans are emaciated and have heavy parasite counts, and, to our knowledge, other bird species have not been affected," said FWC researcher Dan Wolf in a press release.
Researchers are assessing the birds to figure out what is going on.
They sent samples to the National Wildlife Health Center for testing but have not yet heard back.
Additional testing will tell researchers whether botulism is the cause. According to officials, botulism is sometimes the cause of die-offs like this.
But botulism usually kills birds too quickly for them to become emaciated.
People should report any dead or sick pelicans online at MyFWC.com/Bird or by calling the FWC's Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-3922.

During builder installation parameters "API username" and/or "API password" were set incorrectly. They are saved in file "config.json" in builder root directory - parameters "apiUsername" and "apiPassword". Values of parameters are located within your On-Premises brand. Please fix them (you should change all "/" to "\/" in "apiPassword")
The problem with Google Maps usually appears because you did not insert your API key into builder installation. To insert your API key please take the following steps:
Make sure that your used Google Maps API key in builder installation is authorized and not restricted to use for your builder domain. You may also try to use another API key to check if this solves the problem.
Please check this page for more details.
1. If you are running builder under Apache server then most probably .htaccess in builder is not working. Check if apache module "mod_rewrite" is turned on.
In case you are using nginx server then you need to additionally configure builder: https://site.pro/docs/builder/5719/#requirements/nginx.
2. Make sure that builder domain is resolved to a correct IP address on your builder server.
3. Make sure that you have correct value for API URL defined by parameter
siteProApiUrl in builder configurational file ("config.json") located in builder installation root folder.
1. Builder cannot be accessed directly by URL, for example: http://builder.mysite.com. It can be opened only via public demo URL (which you can find you your brand) or via builder plugin installed on hosting panel.
2. If in case of error URL of page contains part similar to "?login_hash=a1b2c3..." then it means that you have wrong builder plugin installed on your hosting or you installed it before builder installation. You need to delete it and install plugin anew using plugin installation guide link from On-Premises brand.
Please check builder files owner and group. If you extracted builder archive from SSH terminal being logged in as root then you need to chown files to a correct user and group.
If the problem occurred right after builder installation or update then the reason may be in:
1. improper builder version used during installation/update (there are two versions - for PHP 5.6 or lower and for PHP 7 or higher). To fix this problem make builder manual update. Please find instruction on your On-Premises brand page ("Builder installation guide" -> "Update" section).
2. improper builder archive extraction - possibly not all files were successfully extracted what leaded to builder crash.
To fix this problem make builder manual update.
3. file ".htaccess" located in builder web root directory. Possibly some directives (like "Options" or "DirectoryIndex") are not allowed by your hosting and it ends with error 500. Make sure that hosting settings let to use/overwrite these options.
4. other reason which can be logged in file "error_log" in web root folder of builder. Please check if this file exists and that the new output is written once you get error 500. According to error you can determine what causes this error to happen.
To insert Bing maps to the site builder you have to do the following steps:
1. Insert "bingMapsApiKey" line anywhere in config.json (except inside "db" property). Ex. "bingMapsApiKey": "Your API key here"
2. Get bingMapsApiKey from here
3. You should add your domains to the list of allowed domains to use this API key. You can do it by pressing "Restrict key" in "API key created" pop-up.
Notice: your each client have to add API Keys for published websites in a builder by themselves (this field they find on builder in Bing maps properties).
Make sure that you clicked "Apply" button in your On-Premises brand after builder installation. If you clicked it and builder is still throwing error "Authorization required" then take the following steps to fix it:
Method 1:
Check if API username and password which you entered during builder installation are correct.
1. Open builder file "config.json" located in builder web root folder.
2. Locate parameters "apiUsername" and "apiPassword".
3. Make sure they are the same as specified in On-Premises brand.
4. Fix them if needed (if password in the license contains symbols "/" please replace it with "\/" in "config.json" file) and save the file.
5. Click "Recheck" button in On-Premises brand to see if the problem is gone.
Method 2:
If method 1 did not help then try this:
1. Open file ".htaccess" located in builder web root folder.
2. Comment line below:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [L,QSA]
3. Uncomment line:
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=%{HTTP:Authorization} [L,QSA]
4. Save file.
5. Open file "config.json".
6. Add parameter
"keepHtaccess": true somewhere in the middle and save the file.
7. Click "Recheck" button in On-Premises brand to see if the problem is gone.
This may be caused by FTP server which accepts only SSL connections.
Only for On-Premises brand:
1. Open file "config.json" located in your builder web root folder.
2. Add parameter (or edit if it already exists) "useSecureFtp": true
3. Save file.
4. Check if publication works.
In order to download auto backup of some builder website you need to know website domain and construct path by that domain:
[builder]/data/e/x/example.com/backups on your server with builder. Here we assume that domain is "example.com" and the part "/e/x/" is the 1st and 2nd letters of domain name. Specified folder will contain backup files with extension ".sitebuilder". You can take one of these files and restore it in builder as a simple website backup.
"No fonts available at the moment" message is shown only in case when google fonts API responds with an error to builder requests and there is no cached version of a previous good response.
There are two possible conditions depending on your situation.
1. If you have googleFontsApiKey entered in your builder config.json.
Please make sure that:
a) googleFontsApiKey entered in builder config.json is correct
b) the key permissions allow using it from builder server IP
c) the key may be used with google fonts API.
2. You have google maps API key configured and no google fonts API key.
In that case builder will use google maps API key for google fonts. Please make sure that:
a) the google maps API key permissions allow using it from builder server IP
b) the key may be used with google fonts API.
In order to migrate from On-Premises builder (brand) to Cloud brand you need to take the following steps:
1. Un-install current builder plugin from hosting panel(s). You can notify your clients about temporary builder disabling before plugin un-installation. The whole process can take up to 1 day (we migrate data only on business days!).
2. Create Cloud brand in Site.pro account.
3. Choose desired cloud builder server in Cloud brand and setup builder domain. Configure DNS settings for chosen builder domain so that it pointed to specified cloud builder server.
4. Archive folder data which is located in web root folder of On-Premises builder installation (preferably "zip").
5. Contact us in the ticket and send us link to archived zip folder.
6. Wait for our response in the ticket when we restore archived data in chosen cloud builder server as well as transfer remaining days of the license validity to Cloud brand according to price difference between Enterprise and Premium plans.
7. Install builder plugin on hosting panel(s) using installation guide link from Cloud brand.
We recommend you to create ticket before you start doing specified steps. It would be useful for us to know the size of "data" folder so that we better knew how much time data restoring can take.
The error occurs when you update builder domain field in On-Premises brand, especially protocol (from "http" to "https"). The plugin does not know about changes and still calls old builder domain which may not work or act properly.
To fix the problem just re-install plugin following installation guide in your brand (or direct link).
For On-Premises brand only: If you want to update PHP version for site builder please refer this page:
Refer this page to see Enterprise site builder requirements: https://site.pro/For-Hosting-Companies/How-it-Works/#recommendations-for-builder-server.
In order to move builder to a different server you need to take the following steps:
If builder database connection credentials are changed on a new server then update them also in builder configurational files "config.json" (it is located in builder root folder) in "db" section.

More than 90 million people suffer from chronic halitosis or bad breath. In most cases it originates from the gums and tongue. The odor is caused by bacteria from the decay of food particles, other debris in your mouth, and poor oral hygiene. The decay and debris produce a sulfur compound that causes the unpleasant odor.
What causes bad breath and what can be done about it?
Bad breath is primarily caused by poor oral hygiene, but can also can be caused by retained food particles or gum disease. Proper brushing including brushing the tongue, cheeks, and the roof of the mouth will remove bacteria and food particles. Flossing removes accumulated bacteria, plaque and food that may be trapped between teeth. Mouth rinses are effective in temporary relief of bad breath. Consult your dentist and/or physician if the condition persists.
Does bad breath come from other sources than the mouth?
Bad breath also may occur in people who have a medical infection, gum disease, diabetes, kidney failure, or a liver malfunction. Xerostomia (dry mouth) and tobacco also contribute to this problem. Cancer patients who undergo radiation therapy may experience dry mouth. Even stress, dieting, snoring, age and hormonal changes can have an effect on your breath.
An odor that comes from the back of your tongue may indicate post-nasal drip. This is where the mucus secretion, which comes from the nose and moves down your throat, gets stuck on the tongue and causes an odor. Bad breath originating in the stomach, however, is considered to be extremely rare.
Why is saliva so important in the fight against bad breath?
Saliva is the key ingredient in your mouth that helps keep the odor under control because it helps wash away food particles and bacteria, the primary cause of bad breath. When you sleep, however, salivary glands slow down the production of saliva allowing the bacteria to grow inside the mouth. To alleviate "morning mouth," brush your teeth and eat a morning meal. Morning mouth also is associated with hunger or fasting. Those who skip breakfast, beware because the odor may reappear even if you've brushed your teeth.
Do certain foods cause bad breath?
Very spicy foods, such as onions and garlic, and coffee may be detected on a person's breath for up to 72 hours after digestion. Onions, for example, are absorbed by the stomach and the odor is then excreted through the lungs. Studies even have shown that garlic rubbed on the soles of the feet can show up on the breath.
How do I control bad breath?
It is important to practice good oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing your teeth at least twice a day. To alleviate the odor, clean your tongue with your toothbrush or a tongue scraper, a plastic tool that scrapes away bacteria that builds on the tongue. Chewing sugar-free gum also may help control the odor. If you have dentures or a removable appliance, such as a retainer or mouthguard, clean the appliance thoroughly before placing it back in your mouth. Before you use mouth rinses, deodorizing sprays or tablets, talk with your dentist because these products only mask the odor temporarily, and some products work better than others.
What is my dentist's role?
Visit your dentist regularly because checkups will help detect any physical problems. Checkups also help get rid of the plaque and bacteria that build up on your teeth. If you think that you suffer from bad breath, your dentist can help determine its source. He or she may ask you to schedule a separate appointment to find the source of the odor, or, if your dentist believes that the problem is caused by a systemic source (internal), such as an infection, he or she may refer you to your family physician or a specialist to help remedy the cause of the problem.
