The University of Miami's superstar wide receiver Andre Johnson, a big factor in this year's Rose Bowl win, was hammered February 19 by a post-season gang tackle. A group of his fellow students, sitting as the Undergraduate Honor Council, voted to suspend him for two semesters beginning this fall. That effectively quashed Johnson's expected return to the Hurricanes next season when the team defends its national championship. A panel of five delivered the hit because, New Times has learned, last year Johnson was caught cheating on a sociology exam, and then three months later turned in a plagiarized term paper for another sociology course.
But relax, sports fans. Thanks to some creative off-field blocking by UM administrators who handled his appeal, Johnson has wriggled free. The former Pop Warner quarterback for the Opa-locka Optimists and Miami Senior High grad -- now a 6-3, 220-pound speedy sophomore -- will be suspended only for UM's two 25-day summer sessions, allowing him to suit up for the Hurricanes right on schedule.
All isn't smooth on UM's campus, however. Word of the reduced punishment has angered some students and faculty familiar with the Johnson case, many details of which are confidential because state and federal laws forbid colleges and universities from disclosing a student's records without his or her permission. Campus sources are afraid to comment for fear of being punished by the administration or even sued by Johnson. But those constraints don't blunt more general criticism. "Lots of professors are upset at the sway the athletic program has over academic departments," said one tenured professor who teaches at UM's College of Arts and Sciences. "The athletic-department people don't want an even playing field. They want it weighted on their side."
Several members of the student honor council declined to discuss the issue, saying that dean of students William Sandler, who serves as secretary of their council, instructed them to refer all inquiries to him. "I do the best I can," sighed one member when asked if she was frustrated by honor-council sanctions being reduced. "We try to do a good job." Sandler refused comment and did not respond to written questions delivered to his office.
"That's apparently the way it works at UM," said a senior majoring in communications. "When they're in high school, a lot of these black kids get sold this dream and duped into playing sports, and then the university makes a lot of money off them. They're like indentured servants and they get breezed through their classes."
The Johnson controversy is but one example of a conflict that occurs nationwide at schools where guardians of scholastic excellence butt heads with athletic departments that run what are essentially semiprofessional football teams. And UM's football program is indeed formidable. Even people who are not fans of the sport sat up as the Hurricanes crushed the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Rose Bowl this past January 3. By halftime quarterback Ken Dorsey had thrown three touchdown passes, two of them to Johnson, and the score was 34 to 0. The Dorsey-Johnson combo earned the duo a co-MVP award for the game. Johnson ended the day with seven receptions for 199 yards, a UM record for a bowl game. "The Perfect Storm," as some sportswriters dubbed the new national champions, left Nebraska's hopes scattered. The 37-to-14 victory was a glorious end to an undefeated season for the 'Canes.
In early February, though, the celebratory afterglow began to dim. Dean of students Sandler sent Andre Johnson a letter notifying him of the plagiarism charge and instructing him to appear before a five-student honor council.
The saga, which New Times has gleaned from documents and sources familiar with the case, began on September 21 during an exam given by adjunct professor Thomas Petersen in Sociology 373, Courts and Society. Petersen is a retired Miami-Dade Juvenile Court judge, a former chief prosecutor for the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office, and the recipient of numerous public-service awards for his work with inner-city youth. He would not comment for this article and referred New Times to Sandler.
Two students alerted Petersen to the possibility that Andre Johnson and two other football players in the class had shared exam answers. Petersen investigated. "Each student had exactly the same correct and wrong answers," he wrote in a memo to the athletic department. "My attention to these one-hundred-percent correlations (unique to these three students in a class of 58) was initially based on the fact that the three papers were handed in at the same time." Petersen also found that Johnson had signed only five of the ten attendance sheets handed out by that point in the semester. Attendance was significant because the exam questions were based mostly on information Petersen presented in the classroom.
Several days later Petersen confronted the trio. According to his memo, a copy of which was obtained by New Times, they readily confessed and received failing grades on the test. At first the instructor was conciliatory. "I want to work with these students in every way possible," Petersen wrote, "and I certainly do not want to jeopardize their athletic eligibility or their standing within the university if there is an explanation or resolution that is fair to the other students who took the test." He met with Hurricanes football coach Larry Coker, who reportedly told him he would discuss the matter with Johnson individually and with the team as a whole.
Petersen was satisfied with this, at least until Johnson turned in a term paper for Sociology 370, Juvenile Delinquency, in mid-December, just three weeks before the Rose Bowl. The paper was an essay on No Matter How Loud I Shout: A Year in the Life of Juvenile Court, a book by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Edward Humes. As he read, Petersen grew suspicious.
Those suspicions prompted him to draft a formal complaint to the Undergraduate Honor Council. New Times obtained a copy of the complaint. "Even a cursory reading of this paper clearly shows it to be a copy of a promotional description of the book," Petersen wrote. "The report was copied without reproducing even the correct punctuation from the original." Petersen met with Johnson, who again confessed. "When I asked him what the source of the material was, he stated he did not know since the report was prepared by his girlfriend," the professor's complaint continued. "I asked him if he knows the meaning of several words contained in the report, specifically euphemism' and stigmatizing,' and he stated he did not know the meaning of these words. Given the fact that this is the second instance of cheating by this student in my classes within a period of less than 90 days, I told him that I would refer this to the honor council and that I would ask for a severe penalty since I felt that my leniency in the first instance had obviously been an error."
UM created the Undergraduate Honor Council in 1986 after a group of students blew the whistle on classmates who had purchased copies of a stolen exam. While the honor council, composed of 22 students who hear cases on a rotating basis, maintains a kind of academic moral authority, real power is concentrated in the council's Selection and Appeals Committee. That body, composed of a student representative, the university provost, and the vice president for student affairs (or their designees), not only selects students to serve on the honor council but is free to revise any sanctions the students hand down. Since their inception, the undergraduate councils have issued approximately 275 sanctions, including warnings, reprimands, suspensions, and occasionally expulsions from the university.
In response to Petersen's complaint about Andre Johnson, Sandler convened a five-member panel and designated two other students to investigate the charges. The hearing took place on the evening of February 19 in a conference room at UM's main administration building. An undergraduate student advisor is allowed to attend such meetings to assist the accused, though the advisor is not permitted to address the honor council. Who would a wide receiver bring along to help dazzle his peers? His star quarterback and co-MVP, Ken Dorsey.
First the two student investigators presented their findings. The panel then questioned Johnson, who said he had left the paper to the last minute but did not cite his rigorous football schedule as a factor. He pleaded guilty.
When Petersen spoke, he emphasized his desire to avoid embarrassing the national championship football team, but he said poor academic performance and lax attendance by some athletes created persistent problems for many instructors. Such problems were systemic at UM, the retired judge asserted. The Johnson case was just one egregious example.
According to a source who attended the hearing and requested anonymity, when one student asked Johnson about the earlier cheating incident, dean of students Sandler interrupted to say he didn't think the panel should delve into that. (Sandler would not comment on the account.)
The honor council then turned to the plagiarism charge. After deliberating for more than an hour, the students came down hard on Johnson. They voted to suspend him for two semesters beginning this fall. Not surprisingly Johnson appealed the ruling, and a hearing was scheduled for one week later.
Before long, rumors of the Rose Bowl MVP's suspension spread to a Website chatroom called CanesTime.com. Despite the confidential nature of the honor council's proceedings, the message that began a thread of postings was quite accurate, mentioning the two-semester suspension commencing in the fall. Most of the responses were expressions of disbelief.
"Some guy is posting rumors that Johnson will not be playing next season because he was caught cheating.... I say BS," wrote one football fan.
"I've personally seen worse academic behavior from athletes who have gotten away with it," added another, who was sure the wide receiver would be in uniform for the upcoming season. "You're foolish if you really believe athletes aren't given any special treatment and/or get away with a lot more than would a regular student.... Some of them take tests on plane trips with coaches as proctors!"
Somehow the UM administration became aware of the gossip on CanesTime.com. The response was swift and aggressive. Computer technicians reportedly were deployed to trace the origins of the chatroom messages about Johnson's suspension. Sociology department faculty fell under suspicion. Campus sources say provost Luis Glaser summoned department chairman Dale Chitwood and another professor to his office and angrily notified them of the investigation, warning them about the confidentiality rules governing the release of student records. (Chitwood did not return calls seeking comment.)
In a letter to Chitwood written before the appeals ruling was announced, Thomas Petersen expressed concern that the investigation of professors could obscure important issues at stake in the Johnson case. According to his letter, a copy of which was acquired by New Times, Petersen was also troubled by the negative message a reduced penalty would send to athletes and the Undergraduate Honor Council. "To mitigate the [honor council] disposition in a way that would render Andre Johnson eligible to play football, unless precedent existed for such a mitigation, would certainly be perceived by myself and others as favoritism extended to a student-athlete," Petersen wrote. "I feel at this point that maintaining the integrity of the honor code process is the highest priority."
The appeals committee met on February 26. It consisted of vice president for student affairs Patricia Whitely, vice provost Perri Lee Roberts, and student government president José "Pepi" Diaz. Following procedural rules, Sandler was to provide a written summary of the honor-council hearing, and a member of that panel was there to answer questions. Presumably the committee also questioned Johnson, though that has not been confirmed.
This was the wide receiver's last chance. There was no further appeal. His fate, and his team's prospects for next season, lay with these three people.
Previous UM honor councils and appeals committees had dealt harshly with plagiarism, including full-year suspensions and even expulsion. Comprehensive information, however, was not made available to New Times; the university provided only limited records from 2001. Those records included five plagiarism cases in which one student was suspended for both the fall and spring semesters and three barred from the fall semester. One student was suspended for the summer.
After deliberating late into the night, Whitely, Roberts, and Diaz delivered their verdict. Andre Johnson would play football next season.
His reduced penalty: no summer school. (It is not known if Johnson had even planned to attend UM's two short summer sessions.) In addition the panel decided the star athlete must complete workshops on "values education" and "proper [research] citation" when he returns to school this fall.
The next day a group of Johnson's teammates were cagey about the case. A dozen of them sat on benches along a campus sidewalk. "Suspended for what?" bluffed one.
"They already had the hearing," contradicted another.
"Are you with the KKK?" snarled linebacker Carl Walker, a 6-3, 199-pound linebacker from Jacksonville. "You're not supposed to be walking around here talking to football players," he scolded. "The truth stays with us."

When New Times contacted Tomás Jimenez, UM's director of athletic academic services, he denied that the honor council had ever suspended the wide receiver. "It's just a rumor," he insisted. "No validity to it whatsoever. But let me get you down to the sports-information department."
Doug Walker, an athletic-department spokesman, said no one there could comment on the case or any issues related to it. As of press time, Johnson had not responded to an interview request, but he did show up for the first day of spring practice this past Monday. Coach Coker was impressed. "Johnson looked especially good," he told the Miami Herald at the conclusion of practice.
"I think these athletes are being used in the most awful way," lamented the tenured professor in the College of Arts and Sciences. "Ultimately these athletes are not dumb. If they can learn a 450-page playbook, they can certainly learn Biology 101. But they are encouraged to stay away from professors who would really challenge them academically."
The senior communications student added that most college football players don't end up as professional athletes. "What happens when their sports careers are over and they don't have an education?" he asked. "They end up with a bum knee, working at a car dealership."

Construction of a key port, power plant and permanent housing in earthquake-scarred Haiti has been delayed due to the U.S. Agency for International Development's lack of expertise and unrealistic timeframes for contracts, said an audit released Tuesday.
The Government Accountability Office said the agency as of March had achieved "mixed results" and spent only one-third of the $651 million it received under a supplemental appropriations bill following the Jan. 12, 2010, quake that killed 230,000, injured 300,000 and displaced 2 million Haitians.
Calling the projects interdependent, the auditors found that USAID had successfully completed the power plant ahead of schedule but was two years behind on the new port. It also failed to hire a qualified engineer.
The Senate Appropriations Committee had directed the State Department to provider greater detail in progress reports, but that requirement ended in September 2012. Hence, "Congress lacks information on the amounts of funds obligated and disbursed and program-by-program progress of U.S. reconstruction activities," the report said.
Planning has been hampered, the study said, by unrealistic initial timeframes, delays in awarding the contract for a feasibility study and incomplete information in the study. An estimated funding gap of $117 million to $189 million is larger than initially anticipated, GAO continued, "and it is unclear whether the Haitian government will be able to find a private-sector company willing to finance the remainder of the project."
GAO recommended that USAID improve oversight, deliver more timely reports, consider higher funding and hire an engineer. USAID agreed with a draft of the recommendations; State did not comment.

Burke Named Big Ten Player of the Week; Michigan #2 in Both Polls
For the second time in his career and first time this season, Trey Burke earns Big Ten Player of the Week honors. One of the most amazing stats mentioned in the mgoblue.com press release, excerpted below, is his 43 assists to just 6 turnovers in his last six games—that's an assist-to-turnover ratio of more than 7 to 1.
Burke averaged 23.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2.0 steals, shot 71.4 percent from the field (20-for-28) and 50.0 percent (4-for-8) from long range in wins over Binghamton (Dec. 11) and West Virginia (Dec. 15).
Opening up the week against Binghamton, Burke's 19 point, five assists and four rebounds helped U-M to the 67-39 victory. He finished the game 8-for-12 from the field, including three long range buckets in 30 minutes of action. Closing the week, Burke guided U-M to its third victory in New York City after an 81-66 win over West Virginia at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. He scored a season-best 27 points after finishing with a new career high for field goals as he was 12-for-16 from the field. He added eight assists with zero turnovers, five rebounds and tied a career-best three steals in 38 minutes of action.
For the season, Burke is averaging 18.0 points, 7.0 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, while shooting 53.5 percent from the field. He is the only Wolverine to score in double figures in all 11 games and has four 20-plus point games. He recorded his first career 10-plus assist game and first career double-double with 18 points and 11 assists against N.C. State (Nov. 27) in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. Over his last six games he has 43 assists to just six turnovers.
Also, as expected, Michigan has moved up to #2 in the AP poll, receiving three first-place votes in the process. Coaches poll also has the Wolverines #2, with one first-place vote.
The last time Michigan was ranked #2 was in mid-January 1993.

Operations with Polynomials Day 2 of 2
Lesson 4 of 15
Objective: Students will be able to add and subtract polynomial equations graphically and algebraically.
Big Idea: Students explore and make conclusions about functions operations using graphing technology.
Warm up and Homework Review
I include Warm ups with a Rubric as part of my daily routine. My goal is to allow students to work on Math Practice 3 each day. Grouping students into homogeneous pairs provides an opportunity for appropriately differentiated math conversations. This lesson's Warm Up- Operations with Polynomials Day 2 asks students to determine whether two polynomials have been added correctly.
I also use this time to correct and record any past Homework.
Resources (5)
This is the second day of a two day lesson. We now move on to exploring functions with TI-84 graphing calculators. Please see the Calculator Notes in slide #2 from the PowerPoint for specific instructions on using TI-84s.
I have students look first at Two Quadratics and then at a Quadratic and a Cubic to explore the effect on the degree of the sum or the difference of the polynomials (Math Practice 7). As they learn to accurately predict the degree of the resulting polynomial functions under addition or subtraction, I ask them to create their own polynomials whose sum or difference produces a specific characteristic. For example, I might ask them to identify two cubic functions whose sum produces a line function. In my video I describing another problem and getting students to think outside of the box a bit (Math Practice 1). Depending on my remaining time, I may ask specific students to write their functions on a note card so the class can see and discuss multiple solutions. This is a great, non-threatening way of allowing the students to analyze each other's work (Math Practice 3).
Resources (5)
Lesson Summary
The concluding activity has the students do two things.
- Summarize the outcome when you find the sum or difference of polynomial functions with the same degree.
- Summarize the outcome when you find the sum or difference of polynomial functions with different degrees.
I have the students work on these in pairs and then we discuss it as a class.
Exit Ticket
I use an exit ticket each day as a quick formative assessment to judge the success of the lesson.
Today's Exit Ticket asks students to find the sum of two functions.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
My Operations with Polynomial Functions assignment provides the students with an opportunity to find the sum and difference of polynomial functions both graphically and algebraically. It also assesses their understanding of the outcomes when adding polynomials (Math Practice 7). Finally, it provides them with a profit modeling exercise (Math Practice 4).
note: I have students tape the half-sheet into their notebooks and work on separate paper. You can reformat the handout if you wanted to have students work directly on it.

What Beast Is This?
The trouble with Christmas dinner.
Two years ago, Liesl Schillinger observed that unlike Thanksgiving, which calls for the ritual devouring of a turkey, Christmas lacks a single iconic beast. There is no one Christmas Dinner, only many Christmas dinners: goose, duck, salmon pie for the Russian Orthodox, turkey for the British. Still in pursuit of the emblematic Christmas meal, Slate has reproduced Schillinger's article below.
Six years ago, when my brother Justin brought his fiancee, Victoria, to Virginia for her first Christmas chez Schillinger, my mother marked the occasion by making a roast suckling pig. (Never mind that the entire family had gathered round the VCR the night before to watch Babe, the tear-jerking family drama about an adorable piglet who evades the knife.)
On the morning of the feast, my mother made mince pies while my father drove to the country butcher to fetch the swine. When he arrived home with the beast, there was a panic. It being December, the suckling pig had matured into a suckling hog—as big as a golden retriever—with curving sharp teeth and holes where its eyes had been. It looked like the victim in a porcine snuff film. As my mother despaired, my father had the presence of mind to grab a handsaw and divide the monster into two halves, each of which just squeaked into an oven. After it was roasted, which shrank it some, Mama laid it out on an enormous platter, covered its severed waist with a cummerbund of holly bunches, stuffed each hollow eye socket with a grape (she put Wite-out irises on them, studded with cloves for pupils), and pried its baked, fanged jaws wide enough apart to pop in a Clementine orange. When she appeared with the beast in the dining room, we all screamed. Luckily, Victoria had brought a ham—a gift from her mother, whose Southern dictum is, "Never go anywhere without a ham."
There is so much we do not understand about Christmas. For instance, why do we sing "Oh bring us some figgy pudding" every December, when if anyone were to hand some to us, we wouldn't know what it was? (And when the song "Winter Wonderland" comes over the radio, babbling, "In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown. He'll say: Are you married? We'll say: No man. But you can do the job/ When you're in town—" What does this even mean?) But the holiest mystery of all is contained in Dr. Seuss' legend, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, in which the Grinch descends on Whoville and makes off with the roast beast. We shed a tear for the hungry Whos, but do we stop to ask what beast it is that they habitually roast, come Noel? Is it a turkey? A steer? A pheasant, gibnut, ostrich, warthog, caribou? For that matter, what about all of us beyond Whoville? What are we expected to roast? Why is there no one beast that suggests itself for this holiday meal?
There can be no question what animal reigns on American tables at Thanksgiving. Ever since the writer and magazine editor Sarah Josepha Hale won her campaign to make Thanksgiving an official national holiday in 1863—when Abraham Lincoln at last solemnized the day—the turkey has been the undisputed creature of choice for that occasion. But there is no clear-and-away winner for the pièce de résistance that lands on tables a month later. Cathy Kaufman, culinary historian at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York, and senior editor of The Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America, is currently writing a culinary history of Christmas in America. A lecture she likes to give at Yuletide is called "For Want of Tradition."
"There is no immutable Christmas dinner," she explained to me earlier this week. In fact, the nostalgic ideal of American Christmas plenty—"turkeys, geese, game, poultry, brawn, great joints of meat, sucking-pigs, long wreaths of sausages, mince-pies, plum puddings," and so on, ornamented with holly, mistletoe, and ivy, and enjoyed en famille, is largely a British import. In 1843, when Charles Dickens published A Christmas Carol, he created a pattern for the feast (see above) and launched an international turkey mania. After Ebenezer Scrooge, visited by the Ghost of Christmas Present, observes the humble goose-and-mash fest of his clerk, Bob Cratchit, he repents for his miserliness by sending the Cratchits the prize turkey in the poulterer's window. In Europe in the mid-19th century, Kaufman explained, turkey was a "luxury bird." In Civil War-era America, as the country struggled to find unifying and binding national traditions, the mythic Christmas conjured by Dickens was adopted wholesale.
For several decades, the turkey starred at Yuletide feasts at home and abroad, but by the turn of the century in this country, the bird had become a charity staple—the government cheese of the merry-making world. "Once it started becoming associated with the poor on Ellis Island or orphan newsboys, the socially aspiring moved to beef and venison," Kaufman said. By the late 19th century, snobbish cookbook writers were arguing for a return to European feudal traditions, in which wealthy landowners rewarded the peasantry for a year of hard labor with lavish spreads of beef and brawn. "There was the sense that turkey and goose is fine for the hoi polloi," Kaufman explained, "but if you want to be elegant, you want to do beef or venison."
Venison can be a fraught choice. Once, when the family was crammed in the Caprice Classic, driving through a snowstorm to my grandparents' place in Illinois, the car hit and killed a deer. My father and grandfather strung up the animal in the barn and cut him into venison steaks. I remember, when they sliced through the stomach, field corn fell out. We kids refused to eat Rudolph. But eating "Babe," a couple of decades on—well, with bacon and sausage on the breakfast table, that was less of a stretch. The pig has long been a staple on the holiday board. "This actually goes back to the Roman Saturnalia," Kaufman explained—the annual pagan winter solstice feast in honor of Saturn, father of the gods. "There were lines from Martial, to the effect of, 'This boar was fed on acorns to make your Saturnalia happy!' " she said. "I don't think it ever really went in or out."
In the 21st century, Saturnalia is a misty memory, if that; and since the World War II, traditions in this country have evolved to embrace the immigrant backgrounds of American households. For many Swedish-Americans, Christmas dinner wouldn't look right without lefse and lingonberries, goose with cloudberry sauce, meatballs, and pickled herring; for Japanese-Americans, turkey is negotiable, but rice is not; Russian-Orthodox Americans expect salmon pie with hard-cooked eggs (kulebiaka); Italian-Americans might lay out seven kinds of fish; Vietnamese Americans may skip the feast entirely and hold out for the lunar New Year; and British-descended Americans still long for a standing rib roast and Yorkshire pudding. The American Christmas feast increasingly celebrates the savors of the melting pot, and the room for additions to its menu is endless. Ms. Kaufman affirms, "There's definitely not one meal."
In England, where Thanksgiving is not celebrated, turkey still holds great allure as a once-a-year treat on Dec. 25; and traditionalists like to serve goose stuffed with chestnuts sage and onions, just like the Cratchits had it (even though goose was plebeian in the Cratchits day) and/or roast beef, which is never unwelcome on a Wedgwood plate. But in the colonies, turkey became the sine qua non of the iconic November meal, leaving the contents of December's roasting pan a giant question mark. After all, how many times in quick succession can a person, with genuine relish, tuck into a dish that tastes, one critic observed, "like damp terrycloth"?
In the wake of the suckling hog debacle, my mother introduced ducks for Christmas. An entire flock of waterfowl (six) were sacrificed to feed 12 celebrating mouths. Thirteen, actually; one of the bassets, Ruby, dug the carcasses out of the trash, out in the snow by the carport, and gulped down so much duck fat that her liver shut down. She had to be rushed to the vet, where the doctors said her blood was like a duck-grease milkshake. After $3,000 of emergency medical treatment (including a canine blood transfusion), duck has fluttered off the menu, never to return.
This Christmas Eve, Mama is making chicken Kiev, stuffed with apricots. We're not Russian, so this may not sound all that traditional, but it will be our tradition—at least this year. With any luck, nobody will scream at the unveiling, and no dog will end up in intensive care.

Wow! This product really works! I have terrible psoriasis and don't want to use steroid creams etc due to side affects. I have found it really healing, but so gentle at the same time. I have started to use it for lots of skin problems. Couldn't live without it now and carry a small bottle in my bag all the time.
I first tried this soap a year ago I have super sensitive skin and had always used simple brand products it's fair to say I stopped buying simple and haven't looked back don't think of it as soap as you know it it's moisturizing and cleansing no tightness in skin and I use only this as a face wash now
Over the years I have tried many products to ease a long term back complaint this oil is by far the best one all natural ingredients and is warming and soothing on those sore spots actually does what it says on the tin
Another fabulous natural product leaves feet refreshed and moisturised great for sensitive skin as are all the bathing beauty products
Another convert have always struggled with hand creams to greasy to perfumed this does none of the above super light and absorbent leaves hands soft and lasts an age as u don't need a lot
I love it!
This product has help to improve my nails and cuticles totally beyond recognition ..I now own hands to be proud of rather than hide away. The smell of essential oils is amazing and the texture of the product so rich, you only need to use the tiniest amount, making it great value for money. Definitely one of my top ten favourite products.
For years I had trouble with a very dry, cracked, sore patch on one of my thumbs. I was prescribed so many lotions, potions and creams by my – none of which ever really worked that well.
I was lucky enough to stumble upon GAUNTLET by Bathing Beauty. After taking advice from George on how to use it – my poorly thumb cleared up within about 3 days.
No gimmicks, no chemicals, just pure natural ingredients, that work! I always have a tin of GAUNTLET about my person now, and spread the word of its magic, wherever possible. I'm a complete convert!
Luxury in a jar leaves skin super soft and moisturised
again it was fabulous on my sensitive skin
bought for my mum who has suffered with back pain and osteoporosis for years. She found this product really helped with easing her pain and relaxing her muscles and joints! fantastic stuff highly recommend!!
all of georges soaps are amazing but this one is my favourite, my family all have sensitive skin and this is perfect, smells and feels great and doesn't dry your skin, intact its very nourishing!! fab!!
During the summer I have 'itchy ' feet and have tried numerous creams but this is the only one that works.
I own horses and so spend alot of time outside, abusing my hands so I need a product that is going to work – and this does – my hands are soft! Lovely.
I suffer from very sensitive skin, and used to regularly get horrendous shaving rash. This has made a huge difference, so much improvement.
Wonderful ! A fantastic soap for sensitive skin. The biggest problem is getting hold of any, as you seem to run out as soon as it is available. Must pre-order …
I've always suffered with Eczema and never been able to use anything other than plain, unscented, and frankly, dull soaps.
I gave this a try and it has been a revelation. Smells divine and soothes my skin. My condition has actually seen an improvement when using this soap.
As often happens with sensitive skin, I tried our a new miracle, anti ageing product and developed a severe reaction. I was a little nervous at first at trying the soothe body oil on my red, cracked irritated skin but it was wonderful and the effect immediate. It has totally healed … And that was my face!
The best facial oil on the market! I've tried so many high end facial oils and moisturisers and since using this my skin is the best it's ever been.
I bought a tin of the gauntlet salve a few weeks ago and it has totally transformed my hands! I have suffered from very dry, cracked skin between my fingers for a long time and no matter how often I applied hand cream the effects wore off after a few hours; not so gauntlet! I am really impressed and can't recommend it enough. Thank you Bathing Beauty!
This oil really helped to ease my arthritis symptoms, and Improved my sleep. It smells great as well – fantastic, would really recommend.
Bought this at the Free From show in Liverpool a few weeks back and love it. It's a very fine oil which I think compares well to Decleor quality. I'm a big fan of facial oils and have tried a lot of different types, the Wise Skin Anoint oil smells sublime and you don't need much to get a noticeable effect. I have oily skin with some enlarged pores, and this oil improves the texture of the pores. Hurrah!
I love this wonderfully soothing and gently cleansing soap.
Wow this product is a miracle worker! I burnt my hand Saturday morning on an oven and used this on it (sample at the Allergy Show, i then made my mum buy me sone as was immediately soothing), then used again Saturday night and Sunday morning. By Sunday afternoon there was no sign of the burn at all !! Amazing. Thought we'd try it on my boyfriend's psoriasis since it flared up Sunday night and its definitely helping with that too! Thank you x
Bought this for my mum for her arthritic hands. She swears by it for easing the joints. I am now buying another for a friend to try on his painful hip. Will let you know his reaction.
I have been using this product for at least 6 months especially after exercise in conjunction with Opti:5 Glucosamine gel to help with the tight muscles and arthritic pain for a total; knee replacement and my thumb joint. I don't know if this configuration works but I do feel it helps ease the tightness in my muscles. When I am in alot of pain I tend to use the oil 3 times per day.
Excellent product. I have eczema, and it's worse when I have dry skin. Using the foot salve every day makes the skin on my feet feel smooth and nourished. Pity it's such a small tub!
I have horrible dry feet from exercise and I have tried so many products to keep my feet moisturised. This is the only product that really works for me, after the first application I saw results the next morning. I won't be looking back!
My son burnt his hand severely on a heat lamp, used soothe straight away, then twice a day every day, never once did he complain it hurt, it soothed him and the burn has healed so well. I've also used it on sunburnt shoulders, took the sting away immediately and I never peeled. Would highly recommend.
Bought for elderly relatives who suffer with arthritis and younger family who do a lot of sport. Everyone was pleased with the results, don't ever stop making this, thank you.
My daughter gave me a bottle for a very painful knee and the relief has been instant! I am totally amazed and delighted thank you so much!
Bought this product on a whim in a gift shop, thought at least it smelled nice but I can't believe how well it worked on my badly arthritic knees..
Two atheroscopies and countless numbers of harsh drugs have nothing on this stuff!!! Reduced swelling drastically and very much helped the pain.. oh and it smells nice too! This should be prescribed on the NHS! Don't use anything else now to help my creaky joints now..
This is an excellent face oil. It is easily absorbed and not greasy. It smells very faintly of mandarin, a lovely and not over powering scent. It comes in a sweet glass bottle. The cap shuts properly so you don't end up with spilt oil when you are travelling.
I am in my early 50's with skin that always used to feel very tight and dehydrated. I also had regular flare ups of angry and swollen spots. After using this oil, together with the universal cleansing oil, my skin was noticeably softer and less tight (immediately) and the spots gradually disappeared over the first month. The bottle of shy oil has lasted 3 months and my skin is still looking and feeling good.
The description recommends 6-8 drops of oil but 3-4 drops is perfect for me.
I have tried other facial oils by 'REN' and 'Pai' and 'Balance Me' and Shy Oil is the one that works best for me.
I love that this product is vegan, contains only a few natural ingredients and is from a microproducer. Thank you Bathing Beauty.
This product has worked wonders for my skin. I previously used cleansing milks but suffered from regular breakouts, Bathing Beauty suggested my skin was dehydrated and recommended this oil together with Shy Oil.
I personally prefer not to use cotton wool so I put 8-10 drops of Universal Cleansing Oil onto my skin by hand and then remove with a hot cloth. This method is good for me when I don't have much make up on; if I am removing a lot of make up I need a bit more cleansing oil, if you regularly wear a lot of make-up you might need to use a cotton wool pad too.
The Universal Oil is unscented, light and non greasy and a pleasure to use.
My skin is now soft and spot free, an amazing result for my previously problem skin. I truly do feel radiant. It took a month for the improvements in my skin to be clearly noticeable. The product lasts well and after 3 months I still have some left in the bottle. The bottle has a good closure and does not spill when you are travelling.
I wish I had found Bathing Beauty sooner
I have tried many products over the years for extremely dry sensitive skin on my feet, and to my amazement after only one application of Sock Foot Salve my feet felt better already. Magic!
This stuff is amazing; like witchcraft!. Wounds take ages to heal on me due to some of the medications I take as well as slower healing related to ageing. 8 days ago I sustained several small cuts while at a guides and brownies holiday doing fun outdoorsy stuff. After the holiday I bought a tin of Gauntlet salve 6 days ago and have been using it at least twice a day ever since. All but the largest cut on my hands are fully healed over and even the large one is almost sorted. I have also had a small area on my head that bleeds when combing my hair that was from a knock against a cupboard about 6 weeks ago. I put some on that each night and even that has now properly closed over. Thank you so much. I will make sure I always have some of this to hand from now on.
Bought on a whim in a gift shop as my arthritis in my heel was painful 😖 can't believe the relief it has given me
I have suffered with a knee problem for a while now and wish that I'd discovered this sooner. It really helps and even though I have not been using it for long, I really feel it helping.
I love this product! It has so many uses!
Initially I bought it to use for stress and anxiety – I rub it into my temples and pulse points, and also on my pillow/pyjamas at night. Also works wonders for headaches/migraines and sinus pain and I'm currently using it on my hand after an operation, as both a massage oil and to help heal the scar. My bottle is lasting ages too!
I have used the Wise Facial Oil before and loved it – and recently got the Shy Skin Facial Oil as a gift, and Oh My Word – I love it so much! I use 5-6 drops of it after cleansing, layer it under my usual moisturiser and the result is Fabulous. In the morning my skin feels soft and smooth, and the oil gives my skin a beautiful 'sheen'. Thanks Bathing Beauty!

"I always have eggs for quick and easy meals I know my three young sons will love," says Sara Wells, co-blogger for the family foodie site Our Best Bites. She shares the two recipes she swears by for fueling her three kids:
1 I'll scoop out baked potatoes, crack an egg inside the skins, and top with shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, and diced veggies, then bake for 20 minutes.
2 Or for a healthy twist on mini-quiche, I line a muffin tin with sliced deli ham and pour in beaten eggs mixed with cheese, diced red peppers, and chopped spinach, then bake for 15 to 20 minutes. The ham creates an edible serving container for the egg cups, and my kids rarely notice the veggies!

Ohio's business renaissance
Ohio is on the verge of regaining its economic place in the nation and the world, a state economic development official says.
Addressing attendees of the Wapakoneta Area Economic Development Council annual meeting, JobsOhio President and Chief Investment Officer Mark Kvamme outlined three major areas that should key Ohio's business renaissance in the 21st century.
"The thing that was really interesting to me as I toured the state and talked to a lot of different folks — as well as being very fortunate to grow up in a place that creates a lot of wealth — is I actually think Ohio is about ready for a new renaissance," Kvamme said during his speech Tuesday afternoon.
Kvamme, who grew up in California, talked about five areas — energy costs, location, work force, agriculture and banking and finance — but stressed the first three areas as reasons for his belief.
"Energy does matter again — access to inexpensive energy does matter," Kvamme said. "Energy is very, very important for powering multiple different industries."
Data regarding the feasibility of extracting oil from shale in Ohio is becoming more encouraging and would provide Ohioans and Ohio businesses with access to an inexpensive form of energy.
"We are already starting to see the difference this type of energy can make in Ohio," Kvamme said. "A group came out a couple of weeks ago at the governor's energy conference that they believe in the next five years that 200,000 jobs will be created in Northeast Ohio around this industry."
He pointed out the fact the last time an oil refinery was built in the region to help provide fuel was in the 1950s — so a changing landscape regarding energy is forthcoming.
"The second reason is, and another reason why people came here at the turn of the last century, is location, location, location," Kvamme said. "We have 60 percent of Americans, 60 percent of all manufacturing capability within 600 miles of Ohio."
He explained that is one reason manufacturing dominated in the early 1900s until the cost of labor increased in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s compared to the rest of the world. At this point, executives decided to manufacture their products in other places in the world, such as China and Mexico, because labor became such a large percentage of product cost.
"What has happened in the last couple of years is that logistics costs are more expensive than the labor costs and a lot of that is because of high tech manufacturing," said Kvamme, who noted state officials are talking with large manufacturer of appliances that may be interested in a local Job Ready Sites and relocating back in the United States. "Location is going to matter again for the state of Ohio. I actually think making things is going to be very important again whether it is piping, whether it is steel, whether it is appliances or whether it is cars."
For Kvamme, Ohio is an ideal location because of the interstate highway system, the roads, the rail, the river and the Great Lakes ports.
A third reason is executives are realizing how things are built is as important as what and where they are built.
"Having a skilled work force is very, very important," Kvamme said. "One of the things that is very nice about Ohio is we have a very skilled work force. One of the side issues is we have an aging work force, but we have a very skilled work force.
"What else is really exciting is we not only have that but we have an educational system that is very strong," he said. "We have some phenomenal capabilities here, so we can educate the people and we have some people who want to work."
He specifically mentioned The Ohio State University, Cleveland State University, the University of Cincinnati and the University of Toledo among a list of many as meeting the skilled labor force and providing high tech advances for companies.
He also pointed out Ohio is a strong agricultural state, with strength in farming and food processing. He also remarked Ohio is strong in banking and finance, with four of the top 20 banks located in Ohio.
"So when you combine all these things together — low cost of energy, the location, the work force — we have the seed corn for some amazing opportunities," Kvamme said in front of a screen depicting JobsOhio and its goals. "Whether we like it or not, we have to compete globally. I think we do compete globally and our companies to be successful have to be cost effective compared to the rest of the world."

In a space between the two Twin Tower footprints at bedrock, visitors see a wall behind which the Office of Chief Medical Examiner of the City of New York operates and maintains a repository for the unidentified remains and a smallwork space.
A repository for the remains of 9/11 victims under the jurisdiction of the Office of Chief Medical Examiner of the City of New York (OCME) is located at bedrock at the World Trade Center site. The repository is an official New York City facility operated by the OCME, and is designed to meet the OCME's professional specifications for access, security and environmental controls. The repository provides a dignified and reverential setting for the remains to repose – temporarily or in perpetuity – as identifications continue to be made. The OCME is committed to the ongoing work to identify the remains of 9/11 victims, but no DNA testing will be performed on site at the repository.
The repository is separate from the public space of the 9/11 Memorial Museum, and is only accessible by OCME staff. A private space exclusively for 9/11 family members, known as the Reflection Room, is located next to the repository. No portion of these spaces is accessible to the general public. There is no cost for 9/11 family members to visit the repository or the 9/11 Memorial Museum.
Additional information about the repository from the OCME can be found .

In order for patent owners to garner the benefits the ITC has to offer, the alleged infringer must import "articles that infringe" a valid U.S. patent or copyright. As clear as this may sound, recently there has been litigation about what exactly constitutes an "article that infringes." For example, if a patent claim requires a scanner for scanning fingerprints and software for analyzing the prints, is the scanner –-without the completed software- an article "that infringes"? Or, if a patent claim requires obtaining a series of digital data sets representing dental aligners, are the digital data sets "articles" that infringe?
The Federal Circuit recently took up these two issues. The cases help define the term "articles that infringe," and thus, the jurisdiction of the ITC in a 337 investigation. In one case,
nike air max 90 gs hyper pink running womens trainers 2017 XeT0YbXv
, the Federal Circuit held en banc that the ITC has the authority to block the importation of a part of a patented article if it is imported for a downstream use that would infringe the claim of a patent. More recently, in ClearCorrect v. ITC , a Federal Circuit panel ruled that the ITC does not have the authority to block importation of digital transmissions, even if the digital transmissions infringe a patent.
Suprema v. ITC
In Suprema, a South Korean company imported fingerprint scanners along with software development kits into the United States. U.S. companies then used the software development kit in a manner that allowed the fingerprint scanner to become functional, and resultantly infringe the U.S. patent. The owner of the patent asked the ITC to halt the importation of the fingerprint scanners. The manufacturer argued that because the patent required that the software be activated, there were no "articles that infringe " at the time of importation. Furthermore, the importing company argued that the scanners have substantial non-infringing uses, i.e ., that the scanners are "staple articles." Essentially, the issue was whether importing a part of a patented article qualifies as an "article that infringes", and thus, whether the ITC has jurisdiction over the imported items.
The Federal Circuit found that Section 1337's "articles that infringe" language does not limit the ITC's jurisdiction to end-products that infringe a patent. As long as the other requirements of induced infringement are met ( i.e ., knowledge or willful blindness of infringement of a patent), a staple article that is imported as component of a patented article falls under the jurisdiction of the ITC.
A third trimester induction abortion is performed at 25 weeks LMP (25 weeks since the first day of the woman's last period) to term. At 25 weeks, a baby is almost fully-developed and is considered viable, meaning he or she could survive outside the womb. For this reason, the abortionist will usually first kill the baby in utero by injecting a substance that causes cardiac arrest, and induces the mother's labor to deliver her baby stillborn.
Day 1: To help ensure the baby will be delivered dead and not alive, the abortionist uses a large needle to inject digoxin or potassium chloride through the woman's abdomen or vagina, targeting the baby's heart, torso, or head. When the digoxin takes effect, the lethal dose causes a fatal cardiac arrest, and the baby's life will end. (Even if the needle misses the baby, digoxin can still kill the baby when released into the amniotic sack, but will usually take longer to kill the child.)
During the same visit, th e abortionist inserts multiple laminaria sticks, or sterilized seaweed, to open up the woman's cervix.
Day 2: The abortionist replaces the laminaria and may perform a second ultrasound to ensure that the baby is dead. If the child is still alive, the abortionist administers a second lethal dose of digoxin or potassium chloride. During this visit, the abortionist may administer labor-inducing drugs.
The woman goes back to where she is staying while her cervix continues to dilate. T he woman will usually wait a period of two to four days for her cervix to dilate enough for her to deliver the dead baby.
Day 3 or 4: The woman returns to the clinic to deliver her dead baby. If she goes into labor before she can make it to the abortion clinic in time, she will deliver her baby at home or in a hotel room. During this time, a woman may be advised to sit on a bathroom toilet until the abortionist arrives. If she can make it to the clinic, she will do so during her most heavy and severe contractions and deliver the dead baby.
If the child does not come out whole, the procedure
nike roshe run retro red dress
, or a dilation and evacuation. The abortionist uses clamps and forceps to dismember and remove the baby piece by piece. 1
If a woman has been dilated with laminaria, but not yet undergone the surgical abortion, she can still change her mind . Depending on how much her cervix has dilated, there is a potential risk of miscarriage as dilation continues because her body may begin contractions and labor. A woman who changes her mind should immediately contact a medical professional to ensure the laminaria is properly removed. 1

Pavement is a hard surface that slows down or prevents stormwater from seeping into the soil. Areas considered pavement include:
Paving materials (also known as "hard surface") include:
A grading permit is required if you add or replace 2,000 square feet (100 feet by 20 feet) or more of paving. If you resurface existing paving you do not need a grading permit. If you remove existing paving and replace it, a grading permit is required once you reach the 2,000 square feet limit. If you do need a grading permit and you are applying for a building permit, your grading activity will be included as part of your building permit.
If you want to pave in or near an environmentally critical area, please come to the Applicant Services Center for coaching.
You may want to hire a professional to help you get your permit. If your project has over 5,000 square feet of new or replaced paving, you are required to hire a civil engineer.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 29, 2013) - Riverstone Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RVS)(OTCQX:RVREF)(FRANKFURT:3RV) ("Riverstone" or the "Company") reports that initial rotary air blast ("RAB") drilling over a 180-square-kilometre area north of the Karma Gold Project ("Karma Project") has intersected extensive near-surface oxide gold mineralization, highlighted by 2.15 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) over 30.0 metres in hole RAB-414.
The RAB program confirms six distinct areas of anomalous gold mineralization, and demonstrates that oxide surface mineralization extends to depths of at least 39 metres and remains open in all directions. Riverstone will conduct an aggressive reverse circulation ("RC") drill program in 2013 to follow up on these encouraging results.
"We are very excited that the first meaningful exploration program in the northern portion of Karma has confirmed six drill-ready targets," said Dwayne Melrose, President and CEO, Riverstone Resources. "These RAB results indicate strong potential for additional gold mineralization over a wide area, and reinforce our belief that we can add near-surface oxide resources within potential trucking distance of our proposed Karma Project processing facility."
Significant assay intervals from these RAB holes include:
Riverstone conducted RAB drilling in the north Karma area up to 28 kilometres from the proposed Karma Project processing facility. The program consisted of 11,039 metres of RAB drilling in 449 vertical holes (drilled to an average depth of 30 metres) at sites selected based on historical workings and anomalous geochemical sampling. Riverstone has previously conducted limited mapping and rock-sampling programs in the north Karma area since 2008, as until recently, the major focus of Riverstone's Karma work was further south.
"Blue Gold merged with Riverstone based on the Karma Project's near-term production profile and our firm belief that Karma holds tremendous potential for further near-surface resource growth," said Mark O'Dea, Riverstone Executive Chair and former Chair and CEO of Blue Gold. "These results support our view, and will help us design an effective exploration program for 2013."
The Karma Project consists of five nearby deposits and a proposed central heap-leach processing facility. The project is undergoing a definitive feasibility study, based on a 1.03 million ounce, in-pit indicated leachable resource averaging 0.94 g/t Au (34.2 million tonnes)1. The feasibility study and 2013 exploration plans for high-priority targets, such as north Karma, are fully funded.

Ian Cunningham-Dunlop, P.Eng., Senior Vice President Exploration, is the Company's designated Qualified Person for this news release within the meaning of NI 43-101, and has reviewed and verified that the information contained in this release is accurate and approves of the written disclosure of same. The nature and spacing of the RAB drilling to date does not allow for the exact orientation of the gold zones to be determined, and their true widths are unknown. As a result, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. Samples were assayed by BIGS Global Laboratories in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, with a limited number of check assays by ALS Chemex, also in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. BIGS Global assays were by Fire Assay of a 30 gram (1 assay ton) charge with AAS finish. ALS Chemex assays were also Fire Assay with AAS finish and repeats of all AAS assays over 1.0 g/t by Fire Assay with gravimetric finish. Control samples (accredited standards, blanks and duplicate samples at the rig and preparation stage) were inserted on a regular basis every ten samples. Results were monitored on receipt of assays.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Donald Brown ran for two touchdowns, Andrew Luck added another and the Indianapolis Colts rallied yet again, this time beating the Tennessee Titans 30-27 on Thursday night after trailing 14-0 in the first quarter.
Adam Vinatieri kicked three field goals, including a 50-yarder, and Coby Fleener had a career-high eight catches for 107 yards to help the Colts (7-3) bounce back quite nicely from a 38-8 home loss to St. Louis.

The Titans (4-6) lost their second straight and fifth in six games.
Chris Johnson ran for two touchdowns and 70 yards in the first quarter, but had only 16 yards after that. The Titans pulled to 30-27 on Ryan Fitzpatrick's scoring pass to Delanie Walker with 1:54 left, but couldn't recover the onside kick for a second straight game.

"Left unattended," says Mitchell, "human emotion can turn into something so serious it can catastrophically influence the bottom line of the business as well as the individuals."
Brookfield, CT (PRWEB) February 11, 2013
In her dynamic new book, The Cost of Emotions In the Workplace, Dr. Vali Hawkins Mitchell, Ph.D., LMHC, a leading authority in the growing field of Emotional Continuity Management (ECM), emphatically cautions C-Suite Executives that ignoring the impact of employee emotions in the workplace is a recipe for disaster.
"Left unattended," says Mitchell, "human emotion can turn into something so serious it can catastrophically influence the bottom line of the business as well as the individuals."
The concept of Emotional Continuity Management stems from the more traditional Business Continuity Management (BCM) methodology used by company leadership to identify, assess, analyze, and plan for the potentially disruptive risks and threats faced by their organizations and business units. However, according to most experts in the field, while people are factored into BCM plans, they are most often treated as a "recoverable resource – numbers to be counted and skills to be replaced." In the current world of security analysis, risk assessment, change management, and crisis management, human emotions do not always have a dollar value.
By contrast, Mitchell warns that the effects of emotions in the workplace are significant and measurable, and demonstrates through dozens of real–life examples taken from her own experience, that protecting people and the bottom line is – and must be – the new normal for world class companies.
She adamantly advises that managing emotions cannot be the sole domain of the Human Resources Department, that every employee in an organization – from the top down and from the bottom up – can benefit from learning how to productively manage and channel workplace emotions.
The Cost of Emotions InThe Workplace is a practical, hands-on training guide that offers corporate executives the tools they need to identify where the risk of human emotions lies and ultimately decide how much risk the business can absorb. Within the process Mitchell coins the term "emotional tornado" to describe the cumulative effect of escalating, emotionally-charged human energy as it develops a life of its own. Caused by circumstances in a person's private or work life, an individual's emotions have the potential of spinning out of control.
When this happens, financial costs to the organization can range from simple to profoundly complex, ultimately affecting stamina, productivity, company loyalty, absenteeism, healthcare costs, and managerial conflict-resolution time, all of which contribute to a toxic work environment.
The Cost of Emotions in the Workplace is the culmination of years of Mitchell's experience in a wide variety of venues and situations. Putting these experiences into a practical context, Mitchell guides executives to:
- Understand that emotions are going to happen and they do not go away;
- Realize that emotions do have measurable costs;
- Know that if suppressed, ignored, or devalued, emotions distort and become even more lethal;
- Observe, predict, prepare, and write policy to manage the full range of workplace emotion;
- Manage office bullies who are too often managers themselves;
- Calculate the managerial and productivity costs of an emotional incident.
In one scenario, Mitchell draws from her training as a Certified Traumatologist to compare the escalating workplace tension caused by two violent co-workers to her own on-site experience counseling first responders and victims of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the Indonesian Tsunami:
"Walking the halls, I saw, felt, and heard the disruptive effect of two workers on 600 people," recalls Mitchell. "It was like experiencing the rubble of any other disaster. People took sides, hid, ran, overworked, underworked, ate too much, drank more, complained more, went silent, quit. I became sensitized to the differences between small gusts of emotions with no power and those with catastrophic force."
"Emotional Continuity is not a soft subject," says Lyndon Bird, Technical Director, The Business Continuity Institute. "In her book Dr. Mitchell persuades organizations to look more closely at this commonly overlooked subject. She makes a compelling case that it relates directly to cost and increased risk − which should definitely take human emotions much higher up the Board agenda."

CAIRO – Egypt's Islamist President Mohammed Morsi has issued a presidential decree calling for staggered parliamentary elections, starting April 27 and ending in June.
The decree, announced late Thursday, says the vote will take place in four stages and the new parliament will convene on July 6.
Since the ouster of longtime authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak in a popular uprising in 2011, Egyptians have gone through a series of referendums, presidential and parliamentary elections. The first elected parliament was disbanded by a court order last June.
Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood has emerged as the country's dominant political group.
The call for the balloting comes as Egypt is in deep turmoil, bitterly divided between the fundamentalist Brotherhood and their backers on one side, and secular liberal political parties and youth groups on the other.

Ohio dad charged after baby partially scalped during fight
Child released from hospital
Police say a man has been arrested after allegedly ripping off a portion of his 1-month-old son's scalp in an argument with the child's mother in southwest Ohio.
Fairborn police say 34-year-old Kodi Weatherspoon was in jail on charges of felonious assault and endangering children. Police Sgt. Paul Hicks says Weatherspoon called 911 Wednesday afternoon to report the child was injured.
Hicks says Weatherspoon allegedly punched his wife while she was holding their baby and apparently pulled part of the baby's scalp off while grabbing for his wife's hair.
The child was taken to Children's Medical Center of Dayton where Hicks said doctors hoped to reattach the scalp.
The hospital said the baby was discharged but no other information was available.
