Arthur H. Howell
Arthur Holmes Howell was born in Lake Grove, New York on May 2, 1872 to Elbert Richard and Ann Howell. He grew up in Lake Grove and left for New York City after graduating High School. In January 1889, Howell obtained an office position with a small broker on South Street, earning 3 dollars a week. He later got a job as a stock clerk for Jenning's Lace Works, earning 6 dollars per week, and stayed with them until 1894. His interest in Natural History, especially birds, took up most of his free time.
After collecting his first set of eggs (Great Crested Flycatcher) in June 1885, he became very interested in collecting. In the spring of 1888, he tried to develop skills in mounting birds, which he never became proficient in. In December 1888, Howell made his first study skin and took up collecting these specimens. Around this time, Howell began attending Linnaean Society of New York where he met local naturalists. By May 2, 1892, he was elected secretary of the society, a position he held for two years. Howell joined the AOU in 1889 and that year, he attended the annual meeting which happened to be held in New York City. While there met and became friends with Harry C. Oberholser. Oberholser and Vernon Bailey worked together at the Division of Economic Ornithology and Mammology and when Bailey needed a field assistant years later, in 1895, Oberholser suggested Howell. Howell was offered a temporary position and spent four months camping with Vernon Bailey in Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. After returning Howell was given a second six-month appointment and when that ended, was made a permanent employee of the then Division of Biological Survey. His full-time position began with preparing scientific study skins and curating the collection of mammals.
Howell became a highly respected and notable biologist of his time, becoming a fellow of the American Ornithologists Union in 1930. He published over 80 papers and books, most notable being Birds of Arkansas (1911), Birds of Alabama (1924), and Florida bird life (1932). Howell continued working for the same agency, later named the Division of Wildlife Research, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from 1896-1940 eventually as a Senior Biologist. While working at his desk he was stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage and died a day later at Emergency Hospital in Washington on July 10th.

Seven Psychopaths
It's of no surprise that Seven Psychopaths, Oscar nominee Martin McDonagh's madcap crime comedy, won the People's Choice Midnight Madness Award at this year's Toronto International Film Festival. The film is a weird crowd-pleaser that's as much a blood-soaked macabre midnight movie as it is a self-aware satire on the very place that spawns all this madness: Hollywood.
The movie follows Marty (Colin Farrell, playing the straight man this time around), a functioning alcoholic and Los Angeles screenwriter struggling to complete his screenplay Seven Psychopaths. Un/lucky for Marty, his wildly off-balance best friend Billy (a scene and movie-stealing Sam Rockwell) is an out-of-work actor who dognaps for reward money and provides the writer with a wealth of material.
Billy works side-by-side in the dog thievery business with Hans (a particularly poignant and wonderfully weird Christopher Walken) a deeply religious man with a haunted, violent past who uses the money to provide for his ailing wife (Linda Bright Clay). After the men kidnap the wrong person's Shih Tzu owned by a bona fide lunatic and gangster by the name of Charlie (Woody Harrelson, continuing his 2012 hot streak) and Billy puts an ad in LA Weekly searching for the city's best psychopaths, Marty finds inspiration for his screenplay. It quite literally arrives at his doorstep, putting his life and the lives of everyone around him in danger.
McDonagh's unpredictable, utterly deranged, multi-layered noir homage is a testament to the Oscar-nominated McDonagh's scope, sensibilities and talents as a writer and director (it has been earning comparisons to the work of Quentin Tarantino, and understandably so). The film is not only reminiscent of Tarantino in style, execution, and use of an eclectic ensemble, but in storytelling techniques too.
The film features a series of darkly hilarious vignettes, including a pair of bumbling hitmen (played by Boardwalk Empire costars Michael Pitt and Michael Stuhlbarg) and a series of revenge fantasies featuring distraught, mourning parents like a Viet Cong soldier (Long Nguyen) and a Quaker (Harry Dean Stanton); and serial killer killers (Amanda Warren and a bunny-toting Tom Waits) that all hearken back to Pulp Fiction, both Kill Bills, and Inglorious Basterds, respectively.
But don't call Seven Psychopaths a Tarantino ripoff. McDonagh somehow manages to conjure up all the best things about the fellow auteur's aesthetics (he, like Tarantino, also relies his muse, again with Farrell) and remain in a league all his own. It's rare to find a writer who is able to effortlessly inject his own running internal monologue into their characters without it seeming self-indulgent, but McDonagh pulls it off.
McDonagh/Billy grapples with making a movie that sports over-the-top violent, gun-toting guys and expendable female characters (something it gives a wink and a nod to throughout, but doesn't quite solve that costars Abbie Cornish, Olga Kurylenko, and Gabourey Sidibe play up in their ultimately disposable roles) or one that is ultimately about love and friendship. He somehow manages to make it both.
While Seven Psychopaths doesn't pull off that delicate balance quite the same way the far superior In Bruges did, running a bit too long, with a fantasy
sequence that's far more satisfying than the film's actual conclusion, but it arguably packs heartier laughs than its predecessor (thanks largely in part to Rockwell's Billy's buffoonery and a deliriously funny rant about Gandhi). McDonagh's latest is the craziest thing to come out of Hollywood this year in the best way possible.
Hollywood.com rated this film 4 stars.

On a time crunch? No problem. We'll do our very best to ensure your project is on schedule (rush fees may apply).×
Measure twice, order once. We always suggest ordering an additional 10% to ensure you have enough tile to finish your project. This calculator will help to ensure you order the right amount for your project.
Each of our artisan colors has its own unique finish. Featuring Matte, Satin Matte, Gloss, Engobe and Patine, each finish is unique to that specific color and cannot be changed. Matte finishes are more suitable for floor installations than others.
Certain tiles may craze over time, meaning small surface cracks may develop. Crazing is part of the inherent beauty of our tiles. We rate our glazes based on their level of crazing. Our scale goes from low to heavy, low being a slight crackle finish, heavy being the most crackled.×

R.W. Hampton â The Cowboy Years
Beneath the persona that's R.W. Hampton, cowboy entertainer and musician, lies a man who's long since earned his place within the tightknit fraternity of working cowboys. These men and women have dedicated much of their productive lives to caring for horses and cattle on ranches, farms and feedyards everywhere.
Much of Hampton's material evolved from his deep ranching roots. His legion of fans worldwide seems to sense that energy, that taste of freedom, which can be absorbed only by pulling the outside circle in a cold rain or riding back to camp tired and hungry only to change horses and head back out to finish the job. Hampton, Stead, New Mexico, did all these things, and as he related them during the following interview, it's obvious he didn't just pass through ranch country on vacation. He immersed himself in big-outfit cowboying from age 17 and didn't quit for 15 years. By then he had a lifetime of experience, a wife and family, and a unique perspective that comes across loud and clear in his music.
WH: How did you begin your cowboy years?
RW: In 1974, I left my home in Richardson, Texas. Because I'd been a Boy Scout and an Eagle Scout, I hooked up with the Philmont Scout Ranch in the northeast corner of New Mexico. Technically, the ranch is owned by every Boy Scout in America, so I took my place there and started punching cows. They had a big Hereford herd and a bunch of buffalo running on 137,000 acres, so there was plenty of cowboying to do.
WH: You cowboyed steady for the next 15 years. On which outfits did you spend time?
RW: I spent most of my time in Texas, on the Spade Ranch and the Quien Sabe. But I was into drifting back in those days, and I wandered into Nevada for a peek at the IL and the Spanish Ranch. I liked it up there, met some great hands. Eventually, I spent some time at the LS Ranch back in Texas, and rode the grub line at the Bell Ranch in New Mexico, although they couldn't find a hole for me to fill. The ZX needed a married guy, so I took my new wife there for a spell. That was back in the early 1980s. After that we went to Pickrel Land & Cattle Co. in Wyoming. When my time was up there, we drifted back to New Mexico, and now I'm on my own place, not 15 miles from the Philmont Scout Ranch.

* Model: Audi A7 Quattro
* Exterior color: Gray Metallic
* Interior color: Nougat
* Engine: 3.0 liter, supercharged six-cylinder
* Horsepower: 310
* Transmission: eight-speed automatic
* Fuel economy: 28 mpg highway, 18 mpg city
* Dealer: Audi Chattanooga
* Price (as tested): $74,870
If your impression of Audi automobiles is that they are just gussied up VWs, please turn your attention to the five-passenger Audi A7 hatchback.
From its coupelike roof to its flashy LED headlights, the A7 is one of the most gorgeous five-passenger cars on the planet. Inside, ingenious concave doors add tons of shoulder and elbow room, while surface materials and fit and finish rival anything in a Lexus LS or Mercedes S-Class.
Meanwhile, under the hood lies a supercharged six-cylinder beast of an engine that squeezes 310 horsepower from a mere 3.0 liters of displacement while returning 28 mpg highway. All-wheel-drive is standard on the A7, and means you may never have to leave your beauty in the garage when the weather turns harsh.
When Audi Chattanooga General Manager Dale Smith invited me out to test drive the A7 earlier this week, he didn't have to ask twice. (For those of you on a budget, samples of the brand-new 2015 Audi A3 sedan arrive in Chattanooga early next month, Smith says. Check back in this space for a review.)
More than with almost any other car brand, I get pumped up just walking in circles around an Audi automobile. Most models are rolling works of art, and the A7 may be the classiest of the bunch. Everywhere the eyes land there are interesting angles, sheet metal lines and embellishments.
From 50 feet away you'd swear the A7 is a two-door. Its low roof line tapers into a rear hatch that then melts into the most perfectly rounded rump this side of a Porsche 911. Face the front of the A7 and you immediately come under the spell of the handsome fascia, which features seven horizontal chrome strips and the brand's trademark four interlocking rings, which represent Audi's four founding companies.
Running the length of the car are sculpted belt lines that give the car the appearance of having a low stance and wide shoulders. Optional 10-spoke, 20-inch wheels alloy wheels (a $1,200 option) add to the car's athletic vibe.
Inside, that exaggerated belt-line translates into expanses of elbow room; meanwhile the A7's narrow dash makes it almost feel like you are driving a compact car -- resulting in an energizing sensation of being connected to the road. In short, driving an Audi makes you want to lean forward, not back.
Our dark gray metallic test car came with contrasting Nougat (brown) leather interior, an unconventional color combination that looks and feels very European.
Who needs an expensive DVD system when, for $30 a month, you can turn your A7 into a rolling Wi-Fi hot spot. Our test car came with a prestige package ($2,900) which bundles four-zone climate control, ambient lighting, a Bose sound system, ventilated front seats and an eye-in-the-sky camera system that assists with tricky parking maneuvers. My only nit-pick is that the moonroof seems too far aft, especially for folks like me to like to sit close to the wheel. A cold weather package ($500) adds a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats.
We took a midday test drive on Highway 153 and then along the twisting King Road, which traces the edge of Chickamauga Lake. On the freeway, the A7 was a smooth cruiser, and on the back road its nimble handling came into play. Roads were wet the day we drove the A7, and try as I might I couldn't get the super-sticky Quattro system to allow even a hint of wheel spin. When the weather is bad, this is a tremendous asset.
I found the 3.0-liter, supercharged engine to be completely competent in all situations. Audi says the A7 in standard trim will zip from zero to 60 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds. The beastly new RS 7 performance version rips from zero to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds -- no, that's not a typo. Also new for 2014 is an A7 TDI clean diesel model that gets 38 mpg highway and delivers an astonishing 428 pound-feet of torque, which must feel like being strapped to a Saturn V rocket.
If you're ready to pull out your checkbook, now, here are the particulars. A base A7 starts at $64,500 plus a $895 destination charge. Our highly-optioned tester, with loads of popular electronic and safety options, has an MSRP of $74,870.
No, it's not small change, but considering that the A7 combines world-class design and performance -- and turns heads in the process -- it deserves a spot on every luxury enthusiast's shopping list.

January 1, 1960 – Orange Bowl Stadium
Tarkenton Rallies Georgia
The nation was first introduced to quarterback Fran Tarkenton in the 1960 Orange Bowl Classic, as the Georgia senior used his scrambling ability to lead his team to a 14-0 win over Missouri.
Tarkenton threw for two touchdowns on broken plays and completed nine-of-16 passes for 131 yards.
In the first quarter he threw 29 yards to sophomore halfback Bill McKenney for a 7-0 Georgia lead, and in the third, he scrambled free again and found end Aaron Box open on a 33-yard scoring strike.
Missouri Coach Dan Devine praised Tarkenton lavishly, but he also said the hard knocking Georgia defense was a big factor. Missouri, which broke Oklahoma's grip on the Big Seven championship, led in total yardage, 264-to-223, but couldn't get across the goal line as three interceptions stopped potential scoring drives.
Georgia head coach Wally Butts coached his last Bulldog game.
UGA: McKenny 29-yard pass from Tarkenton (Pennington kick); UGA: Box 33-yard pass from Tarkenton (Pennington kick)

Verde River Exhibit Celebrates the Unique Values of Arizona's Desert Jewel
PRESCOTT, Ariz.— The Center for Biological Diversity has teamed up with local photographers, poets, and Prescott College senior Allison Trowbridge to deliver a mixed-media interpretive exhibit to the Prescott Public Library. The exhibit, titled "The Verde River: Green Heart of Arizona – Endangered Desert Jewel," celebrates this ecological and aesthetic treasure in Prescott's backyard.
"With this exhibit we wanted to emphasize what is at stake as well as some of the multiple ways in which the Verde is threatened," says Michelle Harrington, rivers conservation manager at the Center for Biological Diversity. "For example, the city of Prescott claims to have a mitigation plan to avoid impacts to the river from proposed pumping because they have moved the well for their Big Chino pipeline further up the wash from the river. This will only possibly delay impacts. It won't prevent them. The city has not yet produced a comprehensive, scientifically verifiable mitigation plan for which the citizens have repeated and reasonably asked."
The Center for Biological Diversity hosts a wide spectrum of events to educate local citizens about threats to the Verde River that include groundwater pumping, off-road vehicle damage, pollution from sludge dumping, and human population growth. The Verde has attracted the concern of national conservation organizations, including American Rivers, which included the river in its 2006 list of the country's top 10 endangered rivers.
The library exhibit is installed in the "Viewerie" along the back inside wall. Panels in the 21-foot display area tell the Verde's story through words and images. They feature talented local photographers and naturalists Gary Beverly, Walt Anderson, and Robin Silver, as well as poems by Mary Bragg, Susan McElheran, Sheila Sanderson, River Fleischner, and Dee Hamilton. Viewers are introduced to the diverse array of plants and animals that depend on the river, the myriad threats it faces, and the role the community can take in speaking up for our watershed and protecting Arizona's glowing green oasis.
The exhibit also presents a preliminary calendar for April River Days: A Week of Celebration and Action for the Verde, which occurs April 17 to 25. The second annual river festival draws on many groups and individuals in the community to provide events including music, hikes, children's activities, and a community-wide Earth Day celebration.
The exhibit also includes a variety of ways the public can do their part to protect the Verde River. Off-road vehicle users are urged to follow rules and road designations, as well as to learn about the way vehicle use impacts wildlife habitat. The public is also urged to contact local officials about providing a comprehensive mitigation plan for the Big Chino pipeline and to support protections to keep the Verde flowing.
The Verde River exhibit will remain on display at the Prescott Public Library, 215 E. Goodwin St., Prescott, through March 31. Library hours are Monday, Friday, and Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Tuesday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.; and Sunday, 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more information or for information about displaying the exhibit in another location, call Edie Dillon at (928) 277-9155.
The Center for Biological Diversity is a national nonprofit conservation organization with more than 200,000 members and online activists dedicated to the protection of endangered species and wild places.

COLUMBIA — Since this week has been about Jadeveon Clowney and his choices, the South Carolina defensive end thinks one decision he made months ago should be remembered.
Go back to the early offseason. Immediately after The Hit, Clowney's stock as an NFL prospect was never higher. Perhaps no defensive player had ever generated that level of hype in college football history.
Clowney had options. He could have protested the NFL draft's eligibility rules. He could have skipped his junior season, saving his body for a professional career and the millions of dollars that come with it.
He decided to come back to South Carolina instead.
Now, after missing USC's win over Kentucky with a strained muscle near his ribs, Clowney's commitment to the Gamecocks is being questioned. He can't turn on ESPN, check his Twitter, log on the Internet, read a newspaper or listen to the radio without hearing the criticism. It surrounds him, all encompassing, all the time.
Clowney said he just sits back and laughs at the absurdity of it all.
"Am I fully committed? Always. Regardless of what people think," Clowney said Tuesday evening after a practice he watched without participating. "I didn't sit out. I could've sat out. I'm not looking to sit out. I'm not that type of guy. I'm here with the team, regardless. I'm here to work with the team. When I get back healthy, they know I'm going to go out there and play and do my job, do what I've got to do to take care of business on the field."
Clowney said he will return to the field this season. His college career is not done. There are more games to play at South Carolina, more goals to accomplish. Clowney said his status as the top prospect in the 2014 NFL draft is not weighing on his mind.
The junior gave no guarantees he'll play Saturday at Arkansas, where No. 14 South Carolina travels for a 12:21 p.m. kickoff. But Clowney will be on the plane, he said. If he's unable to play, he'll cheer his teammates from the sideline in Fayetteville — like he did last weekend in USC's win over Kentucky.
"I don't have no timetable," Clowney said. "It's an injury. I'm going to have to wait and see how I feel. I'm doing curls and stuff, dumbbells, but it really bothers me when I try to run and turn too quick."
Clowney hopes to return as soon as possible. He gets treatment on his ribs three times daily. Describing the injury, Clowney said he has "pulled muscle tendons" near his ribs. He said his ribs hurt after the Gamecocks' win at Central Florida, and he further injured them in practice last Wednesday. He did not practice Thursday.
Clowney said his treatment includes ice, heat and electrical stimulation.
"Anything you can think of," he said. "We're just trying to get it back fast."
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier was patient with his star Tuesday, something that was missing when Spurrier flippantly said Clowney didn't have to play if he didn't want to play.
Spurrier is thankful for Clowney, not bitter. The past 72 hours have been one giant misunderstanding, not the beginning of the end. That's the message Spurrier sent during his weekly news conference. Spurrier was a bit remorseful, stepping back from comments he made after Saturday night's win at Kentucky, perhaps with a better sense of priorities and context.
"We didn't handle it well, I think the whole group of us," Spurrier said. "But let me say this about Jadeveon. If he never plays another snap here, we all should be thankful and appreciative that he came to South Carolina.
"None of us need to be upset at Jadeveon. None of us. He's played his part tremendously. I think we're 26-5 since he suited up for South Carolina. I'm all for Jadeveon and his future. When he's ready to play, we're going to put him out there."
Spurrier, reading from a sheet of paper, spoke of Clowney's impact on his program in an opening statement that was part mea culpa, part explanation of how something seemingly minor could spiral so far out of control.
Spurrier referenced the 26 wins — including two 11-win seasons — since Clowney stepped inside Williams-Brice Stadium as a freshman. He mentioned Clowney's role in building the brand of Gamecocks football. Going forward, the coach said he has no doubt his player wants to be on the field.
"He's doing everything he can to get ready to play," Spurrier said. "I just want to clear the air that Jadeveon, all those No. 7 jerseys and all the money he's made for our school, he's been a tremendous, important player, and we all — every Gamecock, including me, the coaches — we need to be appreciative that he chose South Carolina. He could've gone anywhere in the country, and he's a big reason that we've had those seasons. He's trying to do all he can to get ready to play."
Spurrier said he's spoken with Clowney since Saturday, but he did not divulge details of their conversation. When asked why such a sudden shift in his stance, Spurrier said "all the information's out now." After the Kentucky game, Spurrier said trainers realized Clowney's injury was worse than they previously thought.
The frustration was that traditional protocol was not followed before Saturday's game, not simply that Clowney did not play. After being cleared by trainers, Clowney told his coaches "right before kickoff" he would not play. Clowney said there was miscommunication between him and his coaches. He admitted he should have handled the situation differently.
Defensive line coach Deke Adams said there are no questions about Clowney's heart and desire. He's never had to worry about the All-American's psyche.
"He's a competitor. He wants to play. He wants to do things right," Adams said. "He's a competitor, and I've known that from the day that I've met him, and I've seen it from the very beginning. You get one thing that might be looked at one way, and then people just blow it out of proportion. Then all the sudden now, this kid is not the person that people thought he was. But Jadeveon is the same person he's been from Day 1. He's a competitor, he loves to play the game, and we would love to have him back as soon as he's healthy."

Interpretation of R-square in categor...
Mplus Discussion
Categorical Data Modeling
Tor Neilands
posted on Wednesday, November 03, 2004 - 2:19 pm
I am fitting the following model in Mplus:
Positive BY ppo rps ;
Negative BY npo ics as ;
PsyHlth BY avgsps bdisum1 pss1 psomsum1 ;
PsyHlth ON Positive Negative ;
Adhlt90 ON PsyHlth ;
All observed variables and latent variabls are continuous, with the exception of the distal outcome Adhlt90, which is dichotomous. I am using the WLSMV estimator and theta parameterization to estimate this model.
I am curious as to what the interpretation of the r-square value reported for Adhtl90 is? And, does that interpretation change if I were to use ML estimation or delta parameterization? What if Adhlt90 were a count or zero-inflated count outcome?
Thanks so much for your insights,
Tor Neilands
posted on Wednesday, November 03, 2004 - 6:03 pm
With WLSMV you get a probit regression for Adhlt90. With ML you get logit. In both cases does the R-square refer to explained variance proportion in an underlying continuous latent response variable. For probit this response variable has a conditionally normal density with unit variance given covariates, while for logit it has a conditionally logistic density with variance pi^2/3. For probit, see Tech App 1 on our web site. This kind of R-square was discussed in Amemiya, and also in McKelvey & Zavoina (I think a 1985 Math Soc article) - it is also discussed in the Snijders-Bosker's multilevel book. I don't know what to say about the count question - do we give an R-square here?

Thank you, Bengt. I will check out those references. I have Snijers & Bosker. Can you post the full citation for the Amemiya reference? I noticed two Amemiya citations in the Mplus appendices. One is an article; the other a full textbook.
Regarding the R-square for count outcomes, Mplus does not produce an R-square on the output for count outcomes.
With best wishes,

I'm running a path model with ordinal outcomes, using WLSMV. My understanding is that the R-squares provided in the output represent the estimated proportion of the assumed underlying Y*s explained by the model. There is a column in the R-square table labeled "Scale Factors." What is the interpretation of those numbers?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 4:16 pm
You are correct about R-square. A scale factor is one divided by the standard deviation of the underlying latent response variable.

I have a path model containing an observed categorical mediator and observed categorical outcome variables. I see some indirect effects that are small but significant. However I worry about the R-squared of the mediator as it is very small.
1. Does the small R-Squared somehow puts in question the exsitence of my indirect paths?
2. Can I test the significance of the mediator's R-Squared using an F-Test? (The data had been non-normal, and I used WLSMV)
Thanks a lot in advance.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Friday, January 20, 2012 - 9:10 am
I would look at significance of the indirect effect and not be concerned with R-square.

Dear Dr. Muthen,
I want to compare an effect of a indep. variable on a continious and a dichtomous dep. Variable. (two different models)
Model 1:
Y on x;
Model 2:
categorical = y;
y On x;
Is it possible to compare the R squared?
Is there a transformation to make the R squared for probit and ML (OLS) compareable?
Christoph Weber
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - 11:08 am
You should not compare the R-square values from a continuous and a categorical dependent variable. There is no such transformation.

I have a question about the significance of R-square. I also have categorical dependent variable. while using WLSMV I set up a latent Response variable. When I looked at the R square's p value, it is above .05 thus not significant. There is also an insiginificant p value of the r square of one of my latent continous variable which is a mediator. What does this mean?
Could you help me to Interpret this result?
Thank you!

For general interpretation matters like these, you want to turn to SEMNET.

I was wondering, when interpreting explained variance, can R square value be directly interpreted as the variance explained by predictors? Because when y is a categorical, it is a probit Regression.

I found the answer. You have explained in the previous post. Thank you!

Dear everyone, should R-Square be reported in multivariable regression in one paper?

With his big win in the Florida primary and an expected solid showing in Saturday's Nevada caucus, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is regaining his front-runner status for the Republican presidential nomination.
Despite his time as governor, his previous presidential run and quite a few years in the spotlight, a question still remains: Who is Mitt Romney?
To some, Romney personifies the corporate raider; the cold, calculating chief executive. But people who have worked with Romney speak much differently of him.
"He is the most capable person I've known," says Geoff Rehnert, a former colleague at Bain Capital. "He is a guy who wakes up at 6 in the morning and goes [until] midnight, and has tremendous energy, tremendous intellect and ability to focus on the detail — ability to go see the big picture."
But even among those who have known Romney, like Rehnert, very few can say they really know him well.
"He doesn't have a lot of idle time for hanging out," Rehnert says. "He's not a guy who lounges around, puts his feet up on the couch, and you know, kind of goes on cruise control while he sips a beer. The guy is going hard."
Romney The Man
Boston Globe reporters Michael Kranish and Scott Helman wanted to build a deeper profile of Romney. In their new book, The Real Romney, they explain why they believe he lacks a bit of the common touch.
Kranish tells weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz that Romney grew up in a series of "bubbles" — from his upbringing in a wealthy neighborhood in Michigan, to his time as a Mormon missionary, and then on to Harvard and working in private equity. Kranish says these were all very insular and elite worlds.
"He did not run, for example, for the city council; he wasn't a mayor," Kranish says. "So he's not the sort of glad-handing politician with the common touch in that way. That's really not who he is. Now, running for president, he needs to show that he can connect."
In the book, the authors write:
"He has little patience for idle chatter or small talk, little interest in mingling at cocktail parties, at social functions or even in the crowded hallway."
Now, this seems like an impediment for someone who wants to be in politics. But it's not a new problem for Romney, Helman tells Raz, recalling Romney's stiffness on the campaign trail when he ran for the U.S. Senate in 1994. He lost that race to incumbent Ted Kennedy, but he still went on to have a political career when he was elected governor of Massachusetts in 2002.
"Today ... he continues to make these comments that just suggest he does not know how to connect with people," Helman says.
Romney The Mormon
Much has been said of Mitt Romney's Mormon faith and his leadership position within the church, but not by the man himself. Romney directs questions on doctrine to the church, and has often said that he is not a Mormon spokesperson, Kranish says.
But the Mormon church has been, and continues to be, central in Romney's life. As Kranish describes it, "it's not just a place you go on Sundays." It's your social life, and it informs your cultural values, he says — and it takes up a big percentage of your week.
"Yet, Mitt Romney clearly is uncomfortable talking about his faith in a really significant way," Kranish says. "And so I think one result of that is people feel they don't fully know him because he's not sharing this big part of himself."
Kranish says it feels unfair to hold Romney to a different standard than someone running for office who held a leadership position in a Catholic or Episcopalian church, for example. But he says that if Romney wins the nomination, his faith will be an issue.
"You can't understand him without understanding his faith, and yet, he more or less walls that off from view," he says. "I think it will be fascinating, assuming he is the nominee, to watch how that happens in the general election."
Romney The Politician
Though Romney doesn't talk much about his time as governor of Massachusetts while he's on the campaign trail, Kranish says Romney can point to some successes that show he can work with Democrats across the aisle if need be — most notably the health care legislation he passed in 2006.
"This was a major achievement that remains popular, and by most measures pretty successful in terms of achieving near-universal coverage [in Massachusetts]," he says.
Romney came in as an outsider when he became governor, and Kranish says he thinks that's how the former governor would approach the presidency if he were to win.
"[As] somebody who is not beholden to special interests or does not have long-term relationships with lobbyists or other lawmakers," Kranish says. "He comes in as the CEO: He's going to take charge, and he's going to lay out an agenda and push it through."
The picture painted of Romney in Kranish and Helman's book seems to be of a somewhat detached person — or at least someone who really only opens up to his closest friends. But does that really matter? Both Kranish and Helman say it matters a lot for someone hoping to be president.
"If you're very reserved and yet running for president, those two things tend to be a disconnect," Kranish says. "It's one of his greatest challenges."
Presidents find themselves in all sorts of situations where they have to be able to connect with people, and know what to say to them.
"I think it's critical that if he were to win, that he be able to figure that out," says Helman, "because I do think it's a critical part of leadership."
From NPR News, it's WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Guy Raz.
Today, it's Nevada's turn, and the inevitability question is creeping back, as in is Mitt Romney the inevitable GOP nominee? But just who is Mitt Romney? That's our cover story today.
The former Massachusetts governor is expected to do very well in Nevada. And then the next big test comes at the end of the month when Arizona and Michigan hold their primaries, contests Romney is also favored to win.
In a few minutes, we'll get an update from Ari Shapiro, who is covering the Nevada caucuses. We'll also here the latest on the violence in Syria and today's UN resolution that was vetoed by Russia and China.
But first to Mitt Romney, the man who to some personifies the corporate radar, the cold, calculating chief executive, the person who occasionally says things like this...
MITT ROMNEY: I like being able to fire people who provide services to me. I'm not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. Corporations are people, my friend.
RAZ: But there's another side to Mitt Romney, a side that people who know him say just doesn't seem to come out.
GARRET RASMUSSEN: He was sort of, like, the image of a boy scout, what a boy scout should be.
RAZ: That's Garret Rasmussen. He's a partner at the Orrick law firm and was a classmate of Romney's at Harvard Law School.
RASMUSSEN: You know, he's clean, he was well-dressed, he was earnest, he was polite, he was certainly entirely sincere and trustworthy and focused. So he wasn't the type of kid that we saw a lot of in colleges. And I attributed that mostly to, I guess, coming from Utah.
RAZ: Here's how Geoff Rehnert, a former colleague at Bain Capital, describes Romney.
GEOFF REHNERT: He's the most capable person I've known. He is a guy who wakes up at 6 a.m. and goes until midnight and has tremendous energy, tremendous intellect, ability to focus on the detail, ability to go see the big picture. And he's able to work with very bright, very capable people to get them to pull together in the same direction for a common purpose.
RAZ: Helen Sievers feels much the same way. She worked with Romney when he was put in charge of the Boston-area Mormon churches.
HELEN SIEVERS: I thought he was quite innovative in the way he worked with the large group of congregations, because some were quite wealthy and had a lot of talent in them, and some of them had a lot of new converts, and especially low-income people, ethnic groups. And I think he did a really innovative job of figuring out how to distribute talent and leadership and build up the capacities of the weaker congregations.
RAZ: Helen Sievers, by the way, is not planning to vote for Mitt Romney if he is the nominee. She's a Democrat, but she still respects him as a leader. But even among those who have known Romney, like Geoff Rehnert, very few can say they really know him well.
REHNERT: He's got a lot on his plate. He doesn't have a lot of idle time for hanging out. You know, he's not a guy who lounges around, puts his feet up on the couch and, you know, goes on cruise control while he, you know, sips a beer. The guy is going hard. He's a, you know, when he was at Bain Capital, he was building a great organization that was the leader in its industry even though none of us had been in the industry, so we had to figure it out.
At the same time, he had five young sons he was helping raise and had, you know, enormous personal commitments to his church and his community. The guy gives a lot of himself. So he's just a very, very unusual person who was raised with a set of values and work ethic and has an energy level that keeps him in motion all the time.
RAZ: The Boston Globe reporters Scott Helman and Michael Kranish wanted to build a deeper profile of Romney. They recently released their book. It's called "The Real Romney." And in it, they explain why they believe Romney lacks a bit of the common touch.
MICHAEL KRANISH: Well, you know, he grew up in a series of bubbles. He grew up in a very wealthy community in Michigan. He was a Mormon missionary, went to Brigham Young University for the last three years of his college. And then he went to Harvard Business School and Law School and then in private equity. These are all very insular, elite worlds. He did not run, for example, for the city council. He wasn't a mayor.
So he's not the sort of glad-handing politician with the common touch in that way. That's really not who he is. He's not a bomb thrower. Now running for president, he needs to show that he can connect. And he certainly had some problems over the years in doing that. And it really is one of the greatest challenges that he faces still.
RAZ: In the book, you guys write: He has little patience for idle chatter or small talk. Little interest in mingling at cocktail parties, at social functions or even in the crowded hallway. That seems like a little bit of an impediment for somebody who wants to be in politics, isn't it?
SCOTT HELMAN: Absolutely. I was thinking the other day of one of the Republican governor's events that I was down in Florida with Haley Barbour, the Mississippi - former Mississippi governor...
RAZ: A guy who loves small talk.
HELMAN: A guy who loves small talk. He's walking around with a drink in his hand, and he's chatting with everybody in sight, rubbing elbows, how you doing. Mitt Romney is the absolute opposite of that. I mean, he could not be anymore different than that type of politician. And you're right, it is a huge impediment. And what's interesting is if you look back over his career, he's had this problem the whole way.
In 1994, he was very stiff on the campaign trail. And today, even as we're talking, he continues to make these comments that just suggest that he doesn't know how to connect with people. And he has to figure out that common touch if he's the nominee.
RAZ: Who are his friends? Who are the people that consider themselves to be close friends of Mitt Romney? What do they tell you about him?
KRANISH: He has a very small circle of people who he relies on. That would include his family. He's very close to his advisers, people who've been with him for years. He has had people who worked with him as governor and in campaigns and current campaign. When he went to be governor, he took people from his business and had them work with him in the governor's office. So there's a certain distance that he maintains outside of that very small circle.
RAZ: Is he somebody who always saw himself as a future politician? And did he operate that way as a young man?
KRANISH: We - I think so. I mean, I heard him say I never imagined myself running for president, but a lot of people say he always imagines himself running for president. His father had run unsuccessfully, and he wanted to succeed where his father failed.
There's an anecdote in the book where he's a young teenager. He's at the State Capitol in Lansing, Michigan and his father's governor. And it's after midnight and he comes in, and according to this story that was told at the time, Mitt suggesting to his father how he might want to handle some recalcitrant legislators. Like I said earlier, he didn't run for the smaller offices, he was always looking pretty high, if not the presidency, one of the top offices beneath that.
RAZ: So let me ask you guys about the faith issue because, of course, we have to assume that this is going to be looked at more and more over the course of the campaign, especially if Romney becomes the nominee. But I wonder, if Mitt Romney were a, say, a devout Catholic or a devout Episcopalian or other mainline protestant denomination and he held an equally important role, would we be asking those questions?
KRANISH: I think that's an excellent question. And the answer from my perspective is I don't know. I mean, it is hard to make comparisons across faith because positions are different. It's not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison. I mean, for example, in the Mormon church, Mitt Romney was a bishop and then he was a state president. That's sort of like akin to being a pastor and then being the head of a Catholic diocese, to continue with that analogy.
And I mean, by definition, if you're a Mormon lay leader, you're a lay leader. So you're not a paid clergyman, you're a businessman, you're a professor, you're a teacher who happens to take on this role. So, in some sense, it feels unfair to sort of hold him to a different standard. But I think you're right that he's going to be confronted with all these questions about what does faith means to him and how it forms his values and typically how he's dealt with these things is to say: If you want to know about doctrine or anything that gets into that, go ask the church. I'm not a spokesman for my church.
RAZ: How central is the Mormon church in his life?
KRANISH: It is such a big part of his life and has been for sometime. I mean, you have to remember when you grew up in a very observant Mormon household, it's not just where you go on Sundays. It's your social life, and it informs your cultural values. And you have all these events during the week, so it's such a big percentage, even time wise of the way you spend your week. And yet, you know, Mitt Romney clearly is uncomfortable talking about his faith in a really significant way. And so I think one result of that is people feel like they don't fully know him because he's not sharing this big part of himself.
RAZ: And yet he is a major figure in the church, right?
KRANISH: He held very important leadership roles before he got into politics. His family was very important in the history of Mormonism, the spread of Mormonism in the 19th century. So, absolutely. I mean, you can't understand him without understanding his faith. And yet, he more or less walls that off from view. And I think it will be fascinating, assuming he's the nominee, to watch how that happens in the general election.
RAZ: What does his time as governor tell us about the kind of president he would be?
KRANISH: It's fascinating. He doesn't talk about it at all, but he can point to certainly some successes in working with a Democratic legislature. I realize that we might not have a Democratic Congress if he were to win. But he has shown to be able to work with the other side, most notably on health care. This is a major achievement that remains popular and, by most measures, pretty successful in terms of achieving near-universal coverage here.
So I think he would come in as he did as governor. He would come in as an outsider, somebody who is not beholden to, you know, special interests or does not have long-term relationships with lobbyists or other lawmakers. He might not even know their names. He comes in as the CEO. He's going to take charge, and he's going to lay out an agenda and, you know, push it through.
RAZ: It seems like the picture that you - that comes out about Mitt Romney from this book is somebody who is fairly detached, either detached or he only really shows himself to one or two people, maybe his wife and his kids. And I wonder, does it matter? I mean, does a president have to be, you know, have to bare their soul? I mean, of course, President Obama wrote this memoir, which is excellent and touching and introspective. But I wonder, I mean, does a - do you think that matters?
KRANISH: I think it matters when you're running for president. For example, one of his key supporters, Chris Christie, said recently that Mitt Romney is, quote, "very reserved and needs to work on connecting with people." If you're very reserved and yet running for president, those two things seem to be a disconnect. It's one of his greatest challenges. And that sometimes when he makes comments that people perceive as gas about, you know, he's not worried poor people. Clearly he is, but he just couldn't state it in a way that makes sense to the regular person.
RAZ: Scott Helman?
HELMAN: I think it matters as president, too, because if you think about all these intangibles that come up, I mean, whether it's - you're meeting with a foreign leader over some delicate situation or, you know, you're talking to the mother who just lost a kid in Iraq or Afghanistan, there are all kinds of situations where you have to be able to connect with people and have that sort of emotional intelligence to be able to judge people and to know what to say and to know not what to say. So I think it's critical that if he were to win, that he be able to figure that out, because I do think it's a critical part of leadership.
RAZ: That's Scott Helman. He's the author of "The Real Romney." We also spoke with Michael Kranish, his co-author. Both of them are reporters for The Boston Globe. Michael Kranish, Scott Helman, thank you.
KRANISH: Thank you.
HELMAN: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

-Fairmont to Celebrate 2010 with Landmark Hotel Openings
2010 marks a busy year for Fairmont as it readies to open seven new hotels, including two of the world's most celebrated addresses: The Savoy in London and the Fairmont Peace Hotel in Shanghai. Paying homage to its original Edwardian and Art Deco design, The Savoy will once again lay claim to its long-standing status as London's premier social destination when it unveils the culmination of a two-year, £100 million restoration program this summer. A top to bottom endeavor encompassing the entire building, including 268 guestrooms and suites, the courtyard and famed American Bar, the extensive restoration includes a luxurious new Royal Suite and the complete remodel of the legendary River Restaurant. The famous Savoy Grill returns under the operations of Gordon Ramsay Holdings, while new additions include The Beaufort Bar and Savoy Tea, a bijou store offering The Savoy's own teas and fresh patisserie. In Shanghai, Fairmont Peace Hotel is the new name for the restored Peace Hotel, a celebrated landmark for over a century. Situated on the Bund, the 12-story, 269-room property enjoys a premier downtown location, facing the Pudong area over the Hangpu River. Once the height of international glamour, the new hotel will resurrect the much-loved Jazz Bar, a Shanghai institution since the 1930s. The 9th floor will also host the famed Peace Hall, where the property's iconic sprung-wooden dance floor still evokes memories of old Shanghai cabarets and gala parties. Other hotels opening in 2010 include the Makkah Clock Royal Tower, A Fairmont Hotel in Saudi Arabia and Fairmont Zimbali Resort, among others.
Fairmont Takes Deep Dive into Conservation with April Seafood PromotionA recognized leader in environmental sustainability and responsible tourism practices, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is diving headfirst into its next green mission: championing ocean conservation and the restoration of living marine resources. Throughout the month of April 2010, Fairmont will raise awareness and funds to protect the world's waters by serving up sustainable seafood entrees in its restaurants around the globe, while also encouraging its guests to donate $1 to the National Geographic Society (NGS). As a sponsor of National Geographic Mission Programs as well as a member of the World Wildlife Fund's Climate Savers program, the April seafood event is one in a long line of initiatives undertaken by the hotel group in support of ocean sustainability. In 2008, Fairmont hotels worldwide removed threatened fish species including Chilean Sea Bass and Bluefin Tuna from their restaurant menus and aligned themselves locally with reputable seafood watch organizations, ensuring guests continue to be provided with a comprehensive selection of sustainable seafood choices.
Fairmont Pacific Rim Arrives in Vancouver Fronting one of Vancouver's best addresses and arriving in time for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, Fairmont Pacific Rim opened its doors in grand fashion in early February. With unobstructed views of the city's North Shore Mountains, Stanley Park and Coal Harbour, guests are treated to the vistas that have transfixed travelers since Captain Vancouver arrived in 1792. A downtown oasis, the hotel was designed to five star standards with resort features such as a rooftop swimming pool, meditation pods, outdoor fireplaces, and a spa. Notable features of the new 377-room, state-of-the-art hotel include a marble-clad lobby sporting a one-of-a-kind $225,000 Fazioli piano, a nine-treatment room Willow Stream Spa, and the Pan-Asian bistro ORU. Of particular note for art lovers is the building's external art feature, a million dollar exhibit created by UK artist Liam Gillick that wraps around the hotel from floors five through 22. Introductory rates through June 30, 2010 start from $229 for a guestroom and $299 for Fairmont Gold, which includes butler services. Learning Hits the Road with Apprentice-Trips by FairmontFairmont is encouraging travelers to take home more than just a few photos from their next vacation with the launch of Apprentice-Trips by Fairmont, a collection of learning-based travel experiences that help guests acquire a new talent or brush up on a favorite hobby. With travel studies revealing one out of every three travelers wants to learn a new skill or activity during their vacation, the luxury hotel brand decided to create tailored travel experiences for those seeking inner fulfillment and a little self-improvement. At the iconic Fairmont Le Château Frontenac in Quebec City, guests can learn or refine their French language skills while exploring one of North America's most dynamic locales with the hotel's "Parlez-vous français?" French Immersion Package. For more adventurous types, the Heritage Takes Flight program at Abu Dhabi's Fairmont Bab Al Bahr allows guests to learn more about traditional Bedouin beliefs while mastering the skill of Falconry. Other Apprentice-Trips include becoming a brewmaster at The Fairmont Copley Plaza, Boston, mastering the art of pastry design at Fairmont Pacific Rim, Vancouver, following how a governmental bill becomes a law at The Fairmont Washington, D.C., and appreciating how the nose affects the brain at Fairmont Monte Carlo. Visit http://www.fairmont.com/promotions/apprenticetrips for a full listing.
Fairmont Launches Virtual Gathering Place for GuestsWith social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook reshaping the way people communicate, Fairmont has rolled out a new online community platform for its guests: www.everyonesanoriginal.com (EAO). A mix of customer-generated media and non-traditional Fairmont content, the new site is an interactive online environment where fans of the brand can post photos or share video from a memorable trip, participate in exclusive polls and contests, access exclusive hotel and destination content, and engage in dialogue with other site users about their Fairmont travel experiences. The site is full of interesting and useful Fairmont information, ranging from tasty recipes and signature cocktail ideas to historical anecdotes and captivating "did you knows?" about one-of-a-kind moments that have taken place at Fairmont throughout the ages. To kick off the new site, Fairmont is running an Original Memories Photo Contest with the Grand Prize consisting of a five-night Fairmont stay and $1,000 airfare credit.
Food Trends Forming at FairmontWith diners saying ciao to comfort foods and farewell to fusion, what's in fashion with foodies this year? According to the in-the-know chefs and restaurant operators at Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, it's not one thing, but several things that are influencing the dining habitats of culinary enthusiasts around the world. At The Fairmont Banff Springs, patrons have given new meaning to the traditional Sunday brunch by showing up on entirely different day: Saturday. As a result, the hotel has introduced the Bow Valley Grill's expansive buffet brunch throughout the entire weekend and is looking at offering exclusive menu items on each day. Much to the delight of diners, fresh is in season at Fairmont Pacific Rim with the opening of Pan-Asian bistro, ORU. Featuring an innovative scratch kitchen, the restaurant's authentic dishes take local to entirely new level with all breads, pastries, noodles, tofu, and even head cheese being made onsite. Does value ever really go out of style? Most think not and The Fairmont Orchid in Hawaii agrees. Recently, the hotel introduced 'Ohana Plates at its oceanfront restaurant, Hale Kai. With over nine different entrees to choose from, the family style offerings combine value and variety with a range of sides like edamame, potato mac salad, green papaya slaw, and more. Last, but certainly not least, is the focus on celebrity eats. With food stars dominating prime time and cable channels like the Food Network, guests have grown fond of restaurants sporting star power. Meeting this demand is Abu Dhabi's Fairmont Bab Al Bahr and former three star Michelin Chef Marco Pierre White, one of Britain's first celebrity chefs, which have opened Frankie's and Marco Pierre White Steakhouse & Grill, making them the newest additions to Abu Dhabi's burgeoning culinary scene.
Art Scene Arrives at, or Should We Say in, Fairmont HotelsCultural offerings and enriching experiences are plentiful at Fairmont, but some Fairmont hotels are taking art appreciation to new heights with the introduction of art-inspired features and openings of in-hotel art galleries. At The Fairmont Dallas, the hotel recently teamed up with local artist Bryan Embry to debut the Ross Akard Gallery at The Fairmont Dallas, the first art gallery to open in the city's famed Arts District in three decades. At Boston's Fairmont Battery Wharf, hotel guests can tour the on-property Battery Wharf Maritime Museum, a 1,000 square foot museum, free to the public, featuring exhibits about the maritime history of the area and of Boston. In Vancouver, art plays a leading role at the recently opened Fairmont Pacific Rim, starting with the exterior of the building and carrying through the lobby, public spaces and guestrooms. Of particular note is the hotel's exterior art feature, which wraps around half of the building's façade causing pedestrians to stop and decipher the running line of text, while the other side glistens silver in the sun from a "rice wall" and teases with an image that only comes into view from a distance. Home to a truly unique and impressive collection of indigenous African artwork is Mount Kenya Art Galleries located at the Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club. Here, serious collectors and novice enthusiasts can discover new and old pieces, many with cultural significance, from some of the continent's most talented artists.
Take a Summer Dip in One of These Cool PoolsThe distinctive locales of Fairmont make the ideal setting for a great poolside escape. This spring, the new Fairmont Pacific Rim in Vancouver will open its very own roof top pool, complete with private cabanas and fire pits for guests to lounge around. Abu Dhabi's Fairmont Bab Al Bahr has set the bar high as Fairmont's first property to open in the capital of United Arab Emirates with 2 outdoor terrace swimming pools with spectacular views of the Abu Dhabi Creek. This summer, Cairo's hippest outdoor hotspot will be the Sky Pool at the Fairmont Nile City. Located on the hotel's 25th floor, the pool offers a spectacular view of the Nile, not to mention an extensive menu of poolside cocktails, luxuriant massages in private cabanas, a floating bar and more. At Fairmont Scottsdale, guests can sit back at any one of the hotel's 5 heated pools, with one hosting dive-in movies all summer long and another featuring the longest resort waterslides in the state. The rooftop pool at the Fairmont Monte Carlo is also ready for another summer of action after the hotel's $58 million USD makeover. The seventh floor retreat includes the stunning L'Horizon Deck, Restaurant & Champagne bar and boasts amazing views of the Mediterranean Sea and principality.
In the Words of Eloise: "The Plaza Debuuuuuts New Shop"One of Fairmont's most adorable (and mischievous) guests Eloise, the fictional heroine of Kay Thompson's classic and best-selling books, has always treated the luxurious Plaza Hotel as her own personal playground. With the opening of the hotel's new Eloise Shop, she, along with her fans around the world, will now have a "playhouse" all their own. As irresistibly engaging as the fictional six year-old heroine herself, who "moved into" The Plaza in 1955 with pet pug Weenie, turtle Skipperdee and her "mostly companion" Nanny, the new Eloise shop is designed to delight and entertain. Playfully decorated to be faithful to Eloise's indomitable spirit and distinctive color palette of pink and black, the 2,100-square-foot Eloise Shop offers a place for young and old to relive their most memorable Eloise moments or shop for Eloise-inspired items like books and bathrobes. Enthusiasts wanting to immerse themselves in the Eloise spirit can opt for dress up in the store's Fashion Room or partake in a little pampering in the Beauty Salon. And of course, fans can't leave without a visit to the Tea Room where family and friends can come together for high tea, birthday parties and other celebrations. Guests wishing to complete the experience will soon be able to stay in the exclusive Eloise Suite, designed by celebrated fashion designer Betsey Johnson, debuting later this year. Whimsically decorated and full of surprises featuring distinct "Eloise moments" throughout, the layout will include one room for parents and a separate Eloise bedroom for youngsters, to mention the young at heart. Enjoy a Summer of Spa at Willow StreamSummer is around the corner at Willow Stream Spas, and there are many treatments that celebrate the sun and the sea while also providing healthy, energizing benefits. The Fairmont Yangcheng Lake in China offers a refreshing Lakeside Mineral Scrub for guests who want a rejuvenating experience by the lake's beautiful waters. At Fairmont Pacific Rim, which recently opened in Vancouver, the Great Canadian Facial uses refreshing glacial water from around British Columbia to bathe the skin before continuing with a peel, mask and massage. At Fairmont Le Montreux Palace in Switzerland, the Naturally Tan treatment provides a rich glow without the harmful effects of the sun, and uses only natural ingredients. Guests who want to keep cool at Fairmont Southampton in Bermuda can try the Island Inspiration Body Sorbet, which includes a rich, moisturizing cream massaged into the skin, followed by a sorbet application and a comforting wrap for a delicious island glow. At Fairmont Monte Carlo, the detoxifying Monaco Power of the Sea treatment is a great way to start off the summer, and includes Kerstin Florian International's thalasso kur and body wrap, rich with re-mineralizing sea algae. And to pamper skin after all that time outside, South Florida's Fairmont Turnberry Isle offers a Facial for the Great Outdoors, a specially designed treatment that can moisturize, repair and protect skin from the sun.
Many Fairmonts Decide to Put a Cork In ItThe perfect match to a fine meal is a fine wine, and to make sure guests have access to the best regional vintages available, many Fairmont hotels have begun to serve up private label bottles in their restaurants to complement their chefs' local menus and dishes. Not long ago, The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn "rented" a row of Robledo Family Winery grapes from the Carneros region to create a specialty wine just for hotel guests to enjoy as they relax in the heart of wine country. In the Canadian Rockies, The Fairmont Banff Springs, The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge and The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise have created delicious private vintages under their own Mission Hill label. Helping guests appreciate Swiss wine is the Fairmont Le Montreux Palace, which also created red and white local vintages which are served up in La Brasserie du Palace, the hotel's gourmet restaurant. And at Toronto's Fairmont Royal York in Toronto, the culinary team partners with Chateau Des Charmes to bottle wine for the hotel using grapes that come from a vineyard in the nearby Niagara region.
Hotels Gear Up for Another Buzzing SummerFairmont chefs across North America are getting ready for an influx of delicious, local honey as they welcome back the resident bees of their onsite herb gardens. The Fairmont Waterfront in Vancouver is preparing for their return by offering a Birds & Bees package, which includes a personal herb garden tour and hive visit along with a honey-themed welcome amenity and breakfast buffet for two. After their debut last summer, the three hives at The Fairmont Washington, D.C. - Casa Bella, Casa Blanca and Casa Bianca – are also getting ready for another summer of producing honey for the hotel's delicious menu of organic cocktails. And coming off a third place finish at Toronto's 2009 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, The Fairmont Royal York's rooftop apiary will again be cultivated by the hotel's chef to create a year of delicious menu items. At Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac in Quebec and The Fairmont Algonquin in New Brunswick, guests with a sweet tooth can even buy some of the local harvest directly from the hotel's gift shops.

Art History
ARTH 117 (IT) Introduction to Modern and Contemporary Art (1)
This course is the third of a three-semester series intended to introduce the major protagonists, monuments and themes of Western art, architecture and visual culture. Chronologically, it will explore the production and reception of artworks from the beginning of the 19th century to the beginning of the 21st century, from Romanticism to Post-Modernism. It will explore the increasing proliferation of images and the new ways they are conceived and diffused in different historical contexts, from the visions of German Romanticism to the aesthetic challenges addressed by contemporary artists working in a new, global scale. A substantial part of the class will be dedicated to the historical analysis of significant movements of European avant-gardes in the early 20th century, from the visual redefinitions of time-and-space inaugurated by Cubism to the exploration of the new territories of art and psychology undertaken by Surrealist masters. Discussions will also focus on the articulate ways in which art functions in relation to society, popular culture, and mass media in order to better understand how the dominions of creativity and visual communication affect us today.

The transition frequency between the 2 1 S 0 and 3 1 D 2 states of 4 He atoms is measured by two-photon spectroscopy with an accuracy more than one order of magnitude higher than in previous experiments. The determination of some related transition frequencies provides a good test against the theoretically calculated energy levels.
Reorganizing data in a spreadsheet can be a pain. Especially when you have to make big changes that a simple copy-and-paste won't fix.
One of the common tasks that fall into this category is transposing—turning rows into columns, or columns into rows.
Without any special help from Excel, that takes a long time. But Excel has some built-in transposing capabilities that make the process easier.
NEW: I've just released brand-new FREE Excel training. You learn about formulas and functions. It's perfect for the beginner .
Let's take a look at turning rows into columns (and vice versa) in Excel, as well as a few of the things you'll need to keep in mind when you do so.
If you want to really use Excel's power for displaying rows and columns, check out pivot tables .
They're one of Excel's best features.Kasper Langmann

Before we start, let's make sure we know exactly what transposing is.
In short, transposing is taking a row and turning it into a column, or a column and turning it into a row . Some people call this "rotating" a row or column.row and turning it into a column, or a column and turning it into a row
The leftmost cell in a row will always become the topmost cell in a column, and the topmost cell in a column will always become the leftmost cell in a row.
This ensures that column and row labels are always in the right place.

Chicago rapper Chief Keef was sentenced Thursday to 60 days in juvenile detention after tearfully apologizing for violating his probation on a gun conviction.
"I am a very good-hearted person," the 17-year-old musician told Judge Carl Anthony Walker. "I am sorry for anything that I have done wrong. … Give me a chance."
But Walker said the teenager has repeatedly disregarded the court's orders — including the rapper's June 26 visit to an indoor gun range in New York in a promotional video for his music.
Chief Keef, whose real name is Keith Cozart, fired a rifle at the range, violating an order to stay away from firearms, the judge said.
Cozart was serving 18 months' probation for pointing a gun at Chicago Police officers.
In addition to revoking Cozart's probation and throwing him in jail, the judge decided to make Cozart a ward of the state, removing him from the custody of an uncle and grandmother. Walker said his ruling was necessary to protect the public — and because of Cozart's "blatant violations" of the court's orders.
Cozart, dressed in a navy blue jail sweatsuit and white sneakers, hugged his mother before he was taken into custody.
Outside court, his manager, Rovaun Pierre Manuel, said Cozart isn't dangerous, but simply a reflection of the violent South Side neighborhood where he grew up.
"Englewood has had this problem for as long as you've known," Manuel said. "Chief Keef is a 17-year-old kid. … Does the city of Chicago really think he is the problem?"
Cozart hit the big-time in December with the release of his debut studio album "Finally Rich." Manuel said he planned to release a new Chief Keef single as early as Thursday. Other rappers will cover for Cozart in the coming months on about 15 scheduled tour appearances, he said.
Before Cozart was sentenced, prosecutors pointed to the lyrics of one Chief Keef song, "Love Sosa," claiming the words represented a snub of the court's orders for him to stay away from gangs, guns and drugs.
One line, "Hit 'em with that Cobra… Now that boy slumped over," refers to killing someone with a Cobra handgun, said Assistant Cook County State's Attorney Jullian Brevard.
Cozart "thumbed his nose at the court," Brevard said.
But Cozart's attorney, Dennis Berkson, said it's laughable to equate a song's lyrics with criminal intentions.
"I'm sure the Beatles said really goofy things in songs," he said.
Berkson said the gun-range video was "stupid" for his client to make, but he said Cozart deserved another chance — not jail.
"I believe you have scared him straight," Berkson told the judge.
Cozart told the judge he has two young daughters.
"I'm sorry about all the wrong I have done," he said, adding that he's close to obtaining a GED — something the court ordered last year.
But the judge wasn't swayed, ordering Cozart held in the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for March 14.

Apple may still be ecstatic over the huge sum of money that will soon be making its way into its coffers, but that's not getting in its way of filing new papers with the courts today, requesting preliminary injunctions on eight Samsung phones which infringe on its patents.
Apple and Samsung already have September 20th circled on their calendars for an injunction hearing, but Apple's request for preliminary injunctions against Samsung's products is an attempt to block the phones from entering the market even before that date.
We are not sure if the judge will grant Apple's preliminary injunction request, but we have a feeling that Samsung and its carrier partners will have to find replacements to fill the gaps in their lineups once September 20th rolls around. While most of the devices listed in the chart below are more than a year old, they are currently being used by most carriers as cheap alternatives to today's flagship offerings.
In response to the Court's August 24, 2012, Apple respectfully submits the following chart, reflecting the eight out of the twenty-eight adjudicated infringing products for which it seeks a preliminary injunction pending a final injunction. Each X reflects a jury finding in Apple's favor and the Q reference identifies the question on the verdict form at which the finding can be found.Apple
