"We discussed what it means to be a teenager in today's world," she says. They gave her a charm for her bracelet--a lock in the shape of a heart. Her father has the key. "On my wedding day, he'll give it to my husband," she explains. "It's a symbol of my father giving up the covering of my heart, protecting me, since it means my husband is now the protector.

Such excesses by the authorities will almost certainly diminish once the Games are over. And in any case, it's increasingly obvious that as the capital's creative sectors bloom, so does the ability of those working in them to circumvent or ignore the rules.

To do their work properly, inspectors should follow detailed checklists and keep up on training. But most of all, they need motivation, a sharp, diligent eye--and impartiality...
...size 6 and in search of fashion sense for my body type. I don't want to look like a teenager, I want to look like the terrific 50 year old woman I am. What are the basic rules for putting yourself together? I believe I am a pear shape. Thank you very much for your help. -Darla McMichael, Berwick, PAWomen like Darla are marginalized. Can I be honest? They are marginalized. And we in the fashion industry have to do better by them, and for them, and stop having as our muse a 19-year-old, or 22-year...
