...tasting room, three generations of Chinese families sit at tables, passing Tsingtao blond, dark and even green (the latter is made with spirulina) from grandparent to parent to child. A four-year-old downs his, smacks his lips, and challenges mom to a toast. Cries of "Ganbei! [Cheers!]" echo in the hall as faces flush and cigarettes are lit. Tourists from Japan, Taiwan and Korea eye one another, making prideful toasts. A table is accidentally tipped over, a pitcher smashes to pieces, and a janitor mops up. Then the next group's shouts and laughter spill into the room...
Mansfield’s comments echo faculties at many other schools with J-Terms of their own. Williams College, for example, has decided to change to a graded J-term because their faculty feared students were not taking the pass/fail J-term seriously. And although some of the opportunities being discussed do sound appealing, we must admit that with term-time requirements what they are, students will likely view J-Term as an extension of winter break—rather than an addition to the academic year—and treat it accordingly...
...cries of outrage because they signal that he's making tough calls, which is how he views his job description. "Part of it could be his faith," says an adviser.

...verse in Matthew in which Joseph considers divorcing Mary before his dream angel allays his doubts. Related notions of Jesus' illegitimacy have never totally disappeared. Jane Schaberg, an iconoclastic feminist critic at the University of Detroit Mercy, has long maintained that parts of Luke's introduction to the topic echo the beginning of an Old Testament passage on rape ("If there be a virgin betrothed to a man, and if another ... should have lain with her"), suggesting violation as the cause of Mary's pregnancy. The Holy Spirit, in Schaberg's version, transmutes a ritually taboo pregnancy into an occasion...
This tale of two companies has little to do with what either one makes or how well each makes it and, far from being isolated cases, their plights echo through the boardrooms of thousands of big and small companies around the world. Success these days is determined in part by something no company can control: the value of the U.S. dollar--the world's most trusted currency, which has been melting away for three years. Currency moves are a normal part of global trade. Their impact generally is best left for financial geeks and really bored people to ponder...
