VAN NUYS, Calif. — High-priced, clip-on hair extensions are becoming a hot item in drug stores.Despite the high cost of these hair accessories — Revlons Clipit retails for $49.95 and Rene of Paris The Hair Company Clip-On Hair Extension sells for $29.95 — women have been snapping them up, according to retailers and manufacturers.For three years, the Vogues and Harpers Bazaars of the world have been commenting on hair accessories, but there was no place for urban women to buy them, said Dino Valentino, vice president of marketing for Rene of Paris, whose ponytail-type hair extension is attached to a French barrette. Rene of Paris has been selling its product in Eckerd Drug, Longs Drug Stores, Arbor Drugs and Vicks Drug since September.
I once tried “improving” the Street-Porter tresses with dozens of extensions, in orange, blonde and black -I was reminded of this horror hairdo when I recorded a show with Terry Wogan last week and they played a clip of JSP and Bernard Manning circa 1992. My hair looked like a toilet brush! Shortly after that I went to Tobago for a holiday: in the sweltering heat all my fake bits stuck together and had to be picked out, one by one, a process that took the best part of a day - very unattractive. Extensions only look any good for a couple of weeks. After a bit of partying they resemble a coconut mat stuck on your head - no wonder Posh and Coleen are willing to spend thousands on maintenance.

A trip in a stretched limousine has rew- arded Fartown High School pupils. Six students were given the special trip for having a 100% attendance record in the school year and for improving behaviour. The students were driven from school to Scammonden Water, where they enjoyed games and a picnic. The initiative was org- anised by teacher Joanne Carter and project worker Sarah Clarke.

SONG: “Were Getting Nowhere (Fast)” from Mimes of the Old West SYNOPSIS: This Train sings about their lack of success in the music world. They wont quit, though, because theyre doing what God wants them to do. BACKGROUND: This three-piece rockabilly band (think Stray Cats and Reverend Horton Heat) has produced an energetic and witty sophomore album. Led by Mark Robertson (from Rich Mullins Ragamuffin Band), This Train tackles issues like poverty, faith, and brokenness through humorous allegories and foot stompin, sing-a-long music.
Personnel from the San Bernardino Sheriffs Dept. qualify a minimum of three times yearly with all weapons. The agency maintains three FATS simulators, one mobile for regular access by deputies at the more remote stations around the county. Live-fire “kill houses” and Simunitions force-on-force roleplaying are also staples of their in-service training. An estimated 3 million rounds of ammunition are fired in training each year. Sgt. Jim Morgan, a gunfight survivor and SWAT-team leader, recently took command of the sheriffs Firearms Training Center. One of his first projects was a “firearms excellence program” along the lines of the departments approach to physical fitness with its “wellness program.” The course of fire is the IDPA Qualifier, a tough 90-shot program that tests multiple armed survival skills. Deputies will be able to wear a medal displaying their rank earned, from Marksman to Master. SBSD has long made a habit of intensively studying all gunfights involving their personnel. They determined that even Weaver shooters reverted to the Isosceles stance under stress, and that most deputies had been able to use their sights effectively. Based on this real-life input, their firearms training now emphasizes the Isosceles stance, a flash sight picture and StressFire shooting techniques.
Are people operating your mast climbers well trained? When visiting construction sites with some of our Hydro Mobile distributors, I sometimes come across jobs on which untrained laborers are operating mast climbers. Not only is this prime CITATION material for OSHA, it is a situation that is risky for workers, equipment and the owner(s). To ensure competent person needs are always met, one should plan training ahead of time and have enough personnel trained to operate its complete mast climber fleet. Different training programs are offered on the market.

Real estate practice is a broad and widely defined area of the law. In a pristine sense it deals with the esoteric subject of real property law and titles. In practice the subject matter handled by real property lawyers is much broader. Many of the areas of law within real estate practice are areas of specialty themselves. Real estate lawyers examine and evaluate real property titles, handle real estate sales, purchases and other transactions, foreclose mortgages, represent developers and contractors in drafting and negotiating development and construction agreements, handle real estate financing, structure and draft the governing documents for planned developments such as condominiums, serve as counsel to community and condominium associations, draft and negotiate leases, litigate title, boundary, and other land disputes, and advise clients respecting zoning and land: use matters. The examination of real estate titles requires knowledge of corporations and other forms of business organization, wills, trusts and estates, and a practitioner handling transactions must understand contractual, business, and tax subjects as well. The subjects that are tested on the certification exam attest to this diversity. They are title issues; real estate finance; environmental and land use; condominiums and homeowner associations; landlord tenant; closings; sellers, buyers, brokers, and title insurers; real property litigation; taxation of entities and other tax issues; and ethics. Some hold an impression that at least some aspects of the real estate practice are not challenging, that the practice is increasingly title company, form, and paralegal driven, and that when business is light any lawyer with a good paralegal can Ado real estate closings. This impression is not accurate. As with any area of practice, successfully representing clients in real estate matters requires knowledge, skill, and experience. The diversity in real estate practice may mean that no one lawyer can be an expert in each practice area encompassing the modern real property practice or that are tested by the certification program. That, however, is not a reason to not seek certification. The committee recognizes that few lawyers are likely to possess specific and detailed expertise in each of the many subjects that fall within the scope of real estate.
Real estate is a popular investment among Canadians. There are several advantages to investing in real estate. Real estate is leveraged. You may pay only a fraction (as low as 10%) of what the property is worth when you buy it. Real estate has utility. If you buy stocks or bonds, you cannot do anything with them; but when you buy real estate, you can use it until you sell it. For example, you can live in a house.

Spurred by the success of the first volume in its Encyclopaedia of Sports Medicine, the International Olympic Committee has initiated a second series of publications to address specific sports activities. This series is aimed at coaches, team doctors, athletic trainers, physical therapists, and other health-related professionals with academic preparation in the basic sciences. This book, written by three American authorities on the application of science and sports medicine to swimming, is the first in the series.The first two sections of the book provide an excellent introduction to basic concepts in physiology and biomechanics of importance in swimming. They are logically organized, skillfully presented, and for the most part, well-illustrated. The presentation of complex scientific information in a form that is not only acceptable but attractive to practitioners is fraught with an inevitable tension between simplicity and accuracy. Each attempt to describe a complex process in simple terms is accompanied by a shedding of qualifiers that, if carried too far, threatens the accuracy of the information being presented. The authors have been uncommonly skillful in meeting the challenge inherent in this aspect of their task. A further challenge in presenting such material is to maintain an appropriate balance between theory (or science) and practice. The authors have managed to do this in admirable style, with the practical significance of the theory illustrated convincingly.The remainder of the second section is devoted to a discussion of the techniques used in the four competitive strokes. These are essentially an updated condensation of the corresponding sections of Maglischos popular text, Swimming Faster (Mayfield Publishing Co., 1982), replete with photo sequences, line drawings, and occasional discussions of related research. Although mostly descriptive, these chapters also contain helpful observations on contentious issues and useful insights gleaned from the authors experiences as a college coach. Unfortunately, the photo sequences are no match for the quality of the text. The photography is uneven, with some sequences sharp and contrasting and others out of focus, blurred, and lacking contrast. In addition, the sense of movement that a good photo sequence can convey when laid out appropriately–that is, running from left to right across adjoining pages–is lost when the photos are stacked vertically in a left-right, left-right fashion.
A 10 week programme to teach youngsters to swim is being launched in South Tyneside.

Theres a lovely number by Loudon Wainwright III called The Swimming Song that evokes the delights of bathing with both sharp wit and faux-naïf innocence. Kate and Anna McGarrigle covered it on their eponymous 1975 debut album — one of the all-time great records in my view, mixing folky exuberance and wrenching heartache in a manner that never seems to go stale — and in recent weeks I too have been singing The Swimming Song. All this will sound wildly unlikely to anyone who knows me but I swear it is true.

Communications media networks were born with the 1926 radio sign-on of the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) signaling the dawn of a new era of both communications and culture in America. The network concept is purely abstract–even in its practical form nothing but a series of wires or satellite connections. Yet the history and influence of the broadcast networks is one of the great stories of the twentieth century for though they did not create it the networks did cement the process of homogenizing American culture. By 1930 for the first time America was whistling to the same tunes laughing at the same comedians hearing the same politicians speeches–instantaneously. The taste and judgement of a relative few urban Northeastern network executives set national standards of everything from dialect and language to fashion and behavior. Only when the influence of the old-line networks had faded by the end of the century was it truly possible to grasp the power they held over the nation for so long.Though the number of networks has grown exponentially over the decades with the technology of their distribution methods improving by light-years the concept has remained the same. A network is simply a set of affiliate stations that receive programming from one central source then beam that programming by some method either broadcast wave or cable wire into the eyes and ears of a waiting public.

Developing a “Culture of Safety” A year ago we wrote about the complex process involved in identifying, categorizing, and assessing medical error in health care in the United States (”Assessing Medical Error in Health Care,” Health Progress, November– December 2001, pp. 14-17). That article discussed the 1999 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report on medical error, “To Err Is Human,” and the erosion of public trust in U.S. health care.
The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2002;187(3), Part 2, focuses on how and why womens health and gender-based competencies should be woven into the fabric of undergraduate medical education. It discusses appropriate components of the health and medical curriculum, and combining health care competencies with educational objectives and models for teaching reproductive health.
Part II, explanatory economics, represents the bulk of the book. The economics of demand, price elasticity, risk aversion, and the effect of insurance on the demand for medical services are explained clearly and well. Behavior of suppliers in the medical care market is reviewed, with attention given to differences in for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. A solid explanation of competitive markets allows discussion of timely issues such as the limits of applicability of the competitive model to the medical care market, price and nonprice competition, and market power of providers, purchasers, and patients. Outside readings on current managed competition proposals would augment the textbook discussion well.A short section on the economic effects of information asymmetries in the medical care and health insurance market introduces the concepts of supplier induced demand and adverse selection. Both discussions are short, but the portion on adverse selection especially needs expansion. More rigor, explanatory graphs, and a more extensive bibliography would make the adverse selection concept more useful. This topic is critical to a sound understanding of the functioning of medical expense insurance.The final section deals with value judgments and evaluative economics. The nontechnical explanation of efficiency versus fairness criteria for evaluating medical care policy is somewhat cursory. More technical material is needed to improve the precision of this discussion. However, even without any additions, the text provides a general background on issues of access to medical care, affordability, and quality of care. The difficulty of making allocation decisions given scarce resources is clearly laid out and opens the way for a discussion of policy alternatives.

NETWORKINGAnother benefit of networking is establishing relationships, which can have a number of positive outcomes for small businesses. Forming a close relationship with a client, for example, might provide invaluable insight into their needs. In addition to giving the small business a good opportunity to promote or develop products and services to meet those needs, this insight might also help the small business owner to fix small problems before they escalate into large ones. The insights gained from one client can often be applied to other clients in order to improve those relationships. Close client relationships can also provide information about competitors, their relative strengths and weaknesses, and what it takes to stay ahead of them.Finally, networking can be an excellent source of leads, whether on new business opportunities, new career options, or further networking possibilities. For example, the head of a construction company that is erecting an office building might share a network with an interior designer. When the building is close to completion, the head of the construction company might provide the interior designer with leads on the occupants of the building and their furnishing needs. In turn, the interior designer might alert a network contact who sells office supplies when the new occupants are preparing to move into the building.

NETWORKINGHISTORICAL ACHIEVEMENTS IN COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPORTATIONNetworks were developed as a communication method between computers at remote sites. They trace their roots back to nineteenth-century communication and transportation historical achievements. In America, people have always strived for faster travel and communication systems, particularly between the East and West Coasts. These systems included technology and experiments of varying complexity. For example, the Pony Express operated between 1860 and 1861. It provided seven-day mail service between St. Joseph, Missouri, and Sacramento, California.In 1861 the Western Union Telegraph Company replaced the Pony Express and provided a faster, more reliable communication service. Furthermore, the transcontinental railroad was completed at Promontory, Utah, in 1869. These events improved the telegraph industry. The telephone was invented in 1876, and the first transcontinental telephone line was joined at Wendover, Utah, in 1915. This national telephone network provided a foundation for the wide area computer networks that evolved later in the twentieth century.

Its been a year since Lowes CEO Bob Tiliman, at the National Hardware Show, introduced the notion of Americas need for a new kind of HMO-the home maintenance organization. Its a concept that expands on the traditional definition of home improvement, by focusing on the recurring, and non-recurring need homeowners have to maintain their homes. For the past several months, National Home Center News has been investigating the answers to these questions, including conducting an exclusive nationwide survey of homeowners. The findings, contained in this issues special report (see page 21), should serve as a wake-up call for home improvement retailers. They suggest, among other things: * Home improvement retailers may be on the brink of losing billions of dollars in potential product sales as homeowners increasingly turn to non-retail, home maintenance and service providers for their home-upkeep needs.

Its been a year since Lowes CEO Bob Tiliman, at the National Hardware Show, introduced the notion of Americas need for a new kind of HMO-the home maintenance organization. Its a concept that expands on the traditional definition of home improvement, by focusing on the recurring, and non-recurring need homeowners have to maintain their homes. For the past several months, National Home Center News has been investigating the answers to these questions, including conducting an exclusive nationwide survey of homeowners. The findings, contained in this issues special report (see page 21), should serve as a wake-up call for home improvement retailers. They suggest, among other things: * Home improvement retailers may be on the brink of losing billions of dollars in potential product sales as homeowners increasingly turn to non-retail, home maintenance and service providers for their home-upkeep needs.

The heat also cracked windows. Crew manager Martin Ward from Dewsbury fire station, said: Barbecue embers should be left outside overnight to make sure they are fully out.
Barbecue basics The two simplest ways to barbecue are over direct or indirect heat. These charts condense basic information on how to use these methods to grill lamb, pork, fish, beef, veal, and poultry. Foods that take longer to cook–larger meat cuts, whole birds, and fish–work best on indirect heat. Smaller, more quickly cooked pieces work well on direct heat. Heat is controlled several ways. One is by changing the distance between the grill and the fire grate. In many covered barbecues, the grill and grate are fixed at 5 to 6 inches apart; our charts are based on this. On other barbecues, you can adjust either the grate or grill; increase distance for less heat, move closer for more.

The presentation will be based on a synoptic article being developed by the ACS and the Office for Health Promotion of Northern Illinois University. Ruth Corcoran of ACS will describe a proposed collaborative research agenda, suggesting that two sets of consensually developed guidelines are needed to promote such research: one set to facilitate dissemination of what experts already know to the public and providers (including exercise specialists); and a second set to facilitate further collaborative research. Speakers from CDC and NCI will outline what is known about these topics, and how exercise scientists can contribute to further development (see accompanying abstracts). Presenters will recommend a process to develop research priorities, involving cancer experts, public health scientists, and relevant interest groups in AAHPERD. Members will be asked to contribute ideas for a research agenda.The Cancer-Exercise Agenda: Opportunities in Applications Research

Laminates luster still sparkles at record-breaking Surfaces 2000. FOUR YEARS HAVE passed since laminate flooring burst onto the North American flooring scene at Surfaces, the North American floor covering industrys most important annual event. Ever since, a few dozen companies of diverse backgrounds and makeups have fought arduously for their share of distribution and sales in an expanding but highly competitive market. Surfaces 2000 was characterized more by the expansion of individual companys laminate flooring line palettes than by any product design breakthroughs, a la the eye-catching grouted-tile look introduced by Uniboard, Formica and others at Surfaces 99. A notable exception was Manningtons introduction of iCORE, manufactured with a synthetic core and patent-pending Snap-and-Fit fastening system.

The redesign of people-powered portal About.com goes more than skin deep. Luring more advertisers is the next step. About.com has evolved since its inception. The site debuted in February 1997 as the Mining Company, a name that alluded to its roots of mining the Web for information. Since then, the site has transformed itself from a traditional portal service to one populated by real people who personalize–even humanize–he Internet experience. The sites 700 guides cover an eclectic range of topics, from economics and ecology to Shakespeare and soap operas. Unlike search engines or directories, the guides sift through the Web to find the best links, news and content on their topics, providing human judgment and integrity. In addition, they write original, timely and relevant content for their sites. The guides started to write some great stories, says Chris Briggs, creative director for About.com. A lot of guides have gems of knowledge that should be brought to the surface. To reflect the shift in focus and better communicate its topical approach, the company changed its name to About.com in May 1999. However, the name change was not enough.

FACE-LIFTS, and surgical procedures to make the face look younger, are nothing new. Medical techniques that have made them a reality are fairly recent, but mythological texts spanning many centuries and many cultures (from ancient India to Hollywood) have imagined what the consequences might be if those who wished for a new face were to get what they wished for. Contemporary accounts of cosmetic surgery differ in many ways from mythological treatments of the theme; where the modern technique constructs a new face ex nihilo, most myths imagine the exchange of one face for another, existing face. Both sets of stories, however, frequently express the desire to have not just any face but ones own face as it once was in the past–to masquerade as ones younger self, as it were. And the myths, at least, demonstrate that this is a foolish, impossible, or even fatal desire. It is my contention that the myths are right, and that the lessons they teach should be taken seriously by people contemplating real, surgical face-lifts. Many myths about face-lifts were conceived by cultures far from the worlds of cosmetic surgery in Europe or the United States. Here is a story from a late medieval Indian Sanskrit text: Parvati is a woman divided against herself–or, rather, a woman forced by her husband to divide herself into two polarized halves. Shiva likens her to a black snake when he teases her, and like a snake she sloughs off her black outer sheath to reveal her golden inner form. The creation of a double is her solution to the problem of Shivas womanizing (more precisely, goddessizing); insulted and rejected, she walks out on her unfaithful, hyper-critical husband. But she does not stay away for long: Eventually she sends back a more acceptable form of herself, the golden goddess. The chopped off, negative Kali is banished to the liminal area of the Vindhya Mountains (the southern region that composers of the ancient Sanskrit texts in the northwest of India regarded as beyond the Hindu pale, the place to dump things that you did not want in the story any more); the remaining golden form becomes the female half of the androgyne. I have discussed elsewhere (Doniger, 2000) the apparently racist aspects of this myth; ancient Indian authors did not have a recognizable concept of race, though they did have negative ideas about people with dark skin, whom they sometimes regarded as lower-class or even out-caste. But we cannot ignore the parallels with the uses of cosmetics in our own day to change characteristics stereotypical of race–hair straightening, light makeup, and, of course, the surgical transformations of Michael Jackson.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFinancial reporting is a broad concept encompassing financial statements, notes to financial statements and parenthetical disclosures, supplementary information (such as changing prices), and other means of financial reporting (such as management discussions and analysis, and letters to stockholders). Financial reporting is but one source of information needed by those who make economic decisions about business enterprises.The primary focus of financial reporting is information about earnings and its components. Information about earnings based on accrual accounting usually provides a better indication of an enterprises present and continuing ability to generate positive cash flows than that provided by cash receipts and payments.
Financial Markets and Financial Crises, edited by R. Glenn Hubbard, University of Chicago Press, 1991. This reviewer found it useful to group the ten papers into three categories. Four of the papers covered historical episodes or periods from US and world history when financial difficulties occurred. These four papers seemed closest to the spirit of the books title, and for the reviewer tended to be the most rewarding to read. Ben Bernanke and Harold James in their paper titled The Gold Standard, Deflation, and Financial Crisis in the Great Depression: An International Comparison, examine the contention that a mismanaged gold standard was responsible for the worldwide deflation of the late 1920s and early 1930s. By taking data for 24 countries, they look at the links between monetary contraction, deflation and depression in real output. Frederic Mishkin studies financial crises in the US from the panic of 1857 to the stock market crash of 1987. He applies the asymmetric information theories to these crises, and documents the breakdown in financial markets for each crisis. Rather than looking to the monetary aggregates as the cause of a crisis, the asymmetric information literature looks at a broader range of microeconomic factors such as the failure of a major financial institution, sharp declines in particular asset prices, disruptions in a particular financial market like the foreign exchange or commercial paper market, and so on. Thus, whereas the monetarist view focuses on bank panics and monetary aggregates to explain crises, the asymmetric information theory looks at more particular microeconomic failures in institutions or markets.
Financial Statement Disclosures for Financially Troubled Enterprises Readers of financial statements of companies operating under chapter 11 generally recognize the financial statement disclosures required by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position 90-7, “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code” (SOP 90-7). As required by SOP 907, financial reporting during reorganization proceedings should distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from those related to a debtors ongoing business operations. The distinction between the reorganization and the ongoing business is made on each of the debtors principal financial statements. On the balance sheet, the debtor separately classifies pre- and post-petition obligations, distinguishing those pre-petition obligations that are subject to compromise from those that are not. Reorganization- and restructuring-related income and expenses are separately presented on the statement of operations. Within the operating, investing and financing categories of the statement of cash flows, cash flows in each of those categories resulting from the reorganization process itself are separately presented.

There are two areas of major concern over the new decision to send only one fire engine in future in response to daytime automatic fire alarms in West Yorkshire. The first worry is about the adequacy of this fire cover and the second has to be about the undemocratic way in which the change has been imposed upon us. But the current situation, where one engine and four firefighters are sent where three engines were sent before is hardly one likely to fill the public with confidence.
Proposed code changes should help improve fire alarm system design. Its not uncommon to hear fire alarm system owners complain about unwanted alarms, audibility problems, or acceptance test requirements-problems that many in the industry think start with the initial system design or installation. These complaints havent gone unheeded. In fact, the various technical committees responsible for developing NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code, are currently considering several proposals and comments that address these concerns. Among these are Proposal 72-99, which was submitted in an attempt to improve the quality of fire alarm system design. Proposal 72-99 would require that all fire alarm systems be designed by registered fire protection engineers or by National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technology (NICET) LEVEL III-certified technicians.

For many people, spring is considered the high season for allergies. But for some homeowners who dont routinely and thoroughly clean their carpets, the sniffling and sneezing associated with allergies may persist yearround. Deep cleaning, a job once handled mainly by professional carpet cleaners, can be done quickly and effectively by consumers with a Steamvac deep cleaner. The cleaner distributes a solution of hot tap water and special detergent into the carpet, agitates the fibers with its exclusive, five rotating-brush system and then extracts the solution containing dirt. The five-brush agitation system and carpet detergent helps release the dirt and allergens from the carpet fibers for removal by the Steamvac deep cleaner.

Lifestyle Editors/Feature Editors Our goal is to demonstrate to the public that no project is too large or too small to enlist professional help from an interior designer at a reasonable fee, said Diana Walker, ASID chapter president. Whether a designer transforms an outdated kitchen into a modern day dream space, or provides consultation on space planning, furniture placement or selection, accessorizing a room, or wall covering and/or paint color selection — maximizing the potential of a living or work environment can improve a persons well being, said Walker.
By expanding to almost 7,500 square feet, we have increased our inventory of furniture and decor items, and our warehouse space, said Lina Quintero, Elements of Design owner and lead designer. We offer a significant trade discount to interior designers, who love to shop here for truly unique items, and having such a large showroom simplifies and accelerates the design timeline because appropriate materials are immediately accessible to our in-house design staff. In support of their environmentally friendly practices, the entrance to the new space is a set of reclaimed European double-doors. The hand-painted minute details on the nine-foot-tall doors are extraordinary; lending a unique charm and beauty to the showroom. The doors were recently rescued from a 100-year-old apartment in Paris, France, and brought to the United States. Quintero stated, Reclaimed materials and antiques are the ultimate green recycling opportunity because they bypass the need for manufacturing new materials. Just inside the doors, visitors are greeted with a creative display of sophisticated eco chic products and materials, including wall and floor coverings, paint, surface materials and upholstery fabric.
With little new development, architects are finding themselves busy with government and institutional contracts, storefronts, tenant consolidations and lobby renovations. Additionally, they say, their world is becoming more computerized and hand drafting is headed for extinction. For instance, Moudis said, a law firm may want to get 20 percent more out of an existing 40,000-square-foot space. They may take a 400-square-foot office and make two offices or take the 250-square- foot to 300-square-foot offices and get two 120 square-foot to 150- square-foot offices. “The frills are gone,” Moudis said. “They are spending the money smartly.” In most cases, he explained, the installations are not as extravagant. “You can show wood-trim base and molding but dont have to do wood floor to ceiling,” he added.

Real estate is a popular investment among Canadians. There are several advantages to investing in real estate. Real estate is leveraged. You may pay only a fraction (as low as 10%) of what the property is worth when you buy it. Real estate has utility.
