...should be careful with opening the scope of conformity too much and losing the perspective that only cultural identity can provide. The EU is about common grounds, and maybe there are certain fundamentally different things in today’s Turkey. Why should this fact be so hard to digest?Homogenization is not an idyllic goal: multiculturalism is not about tolerating dissidence, but welcoming it, and there is a Bosporus Strait between those terms. European powers should stay true to their illuminated Constitutions and embrace other values. More time is needed before Turkey can secure membership...
Nadine O'Malley, 36, of Hinsdale, Ill., did not simply organize her life through her closet. She realized her fantasies. Spending $50,000, she remade her master-bedroom closets, following photos she had ripped out of Architectural Digest. Her husband Bill's closet now has dark wood, granite counters and custom carpeting (plus a secret passageway to his office). Her closet has mirrored doors, crystal knobs, marble counters and muted shades of creamy beige and icy green, much like a Jimmy Choo shop she adores. "It feels like I'm shopping in a fancy store every day," she says...
Evers and his Amsterdam-based staff share their discoveries via trendwatching.com, a free online digest of the freshest, most interesting trends that's tracked by in-the-know marketers, retailers, designers and consumers worldwide.

Coke has seven low-calorie versions of its cola, ranging from Caffeine-Free Diet Coke to Diet Coke with Lime; diet drinks make up 29% of the soda market, according to Beverage Digest. Pepsi earlier this year announced that Diet Pepsi would become its flagship brand, a tectonic shift. "Cola is the fastest-declining category, and for Coke to succeed, they need a new blueprint," says Phil Lempert, food-industry analyst and author of The Lempert Report...
...starters, it stimulates him in ways his favorite sitcoms don’t. While the Kool-Aid Man’s explosive cameo and other classic surprises prove highly accessible, many of the quips from the cast force him to do some serious mental gymnastics. In an attempt to digest this tougher humor, he asks lots of questions about SAT vocabulary and allusions to the likes of 1950s X-ray glasses constructed out of cardboard and a feather. He watches episodes five or six times, laughing progressively more at each new viewing. In addition to stretching his cerebrum, Peter...
