Spirituality, Inc. (13)
A century later, as Lake Lambert III explains in "Spirituality, Inc.," religious faith is on display in American business as perhaps never before, from Tyson Foods' "workplace chaplains [who] roam the corporate halls and processing floors" to the never-open-on-Sunday Chick-fil-A's policy of dedicating each new restaurant to God's glory. The rise of companies with an explicitly religious underpinning has been accompanied by an increase of general spiritual awareness in the workplace, Mr. Lambert says. "Corporations like Ford and Xerox sponsor spiritual retreats to spark creativity." Even companies with no overt religious or spiritual interests may be the site of spiritual expression, whethe...
Restorative yoga for those who want to relax (12)
Although it looks like nap time for grown-ups, it's actually yoga - restorative yoga. Also known as "active relaxation," this brand of yoga came to life in San Francisco during one of the most stressful decades on record, and classes like this one at Bernal Yoga are gaining popularity as people look for ways to quiet the body, and ultimately, the mind. The classes are typically 90 minutes and involve only a handful of poses, all variations on napping. The point is not to stretch but to relax, turn inward and stop thinking. Practitioners use props such as blocks, bolsters, pillows and blankets to build forts they can lean or lie on. Falling asleep is allowed. "It'...
New Calif. water policy aims to save state's key estuary, but critics say it falls short (12)
The perilously low populations of salmon and native fish are symptoms, according to numerous scientists, of a crashing ecosystem in the West Coast's largest estuary. Numerous theories abound for the decline, from too much water being pumped from the delta for drinking and irrigation to the use of agricultural chemicals. Whatever the cause, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and state lawmakers believe they took a step to restoring the delta when they passed policy reforms last November and approved an $11 billion water bond to go on the November ballot. Schwarzenegger said it would launch the nation's largest environmental restoration project since the federal effort to save the...
Barack Obama facing crisis as Republican Scott Brown wins senate seat (12)
A packed hotel ballroom in Boston erupted in jubilation when the news of his victory was announced by Ayla Brown, the candidate's daughter. A former American Idol finalist, she had just taken the stage to perform and promptly burst into a rendition of Dancing in the Street. Having accepted the congratulations of the president over the phone, Mr Brown told his wildly cheering fans that there would be other similar results in November's midterm elections, when the House of Representatives, Senate and gubernatorial candidates will re-contest their seats. "If anyone has doubts about the next election season let them take a look at Massachusetts," he said.
The Observer (12)
with McCartney as convivial host, a Val Doonican for baby-boomers and their grand-children, the chunky cardigan replaced by a signature Nehru jacket.So it hardly matters that the set list roughly mimics that DVD and isn't hugely different from the one rolled out at Glastonbury five years ago. Not only does his songbook remain timeless, it can withstand anything, whether chirruping X Factor contestants on backing vocals or, tonight, a grimly generic backing band, all shaggy hair, guitars slung too low and drums set to "rock".Weighing in at 37 songs and two-and- a-half hours, only the set's more recent material drags: a pair of tunes from the last year's Electric Arg...
Province set to announce huge green energy deal (11)
The goal, according to government sources, is to make Ontario an international centre for the manufacturing of green energy technologies and export the products to other countries. Samsung, which will be leading a consortium in this deal, announced in May 2009 it had plans to enter the wind turbine business in 2010. It had also made a decision to enter the wind turbine business. The McGuinty government passed its Green Energy Act that month, which it claimed will create 50,000 new jobs by making it easier to develop renewable energy projects in the province. For example, the province will override local laws when it comes to the location of wind or solar energy instal...

Another Earthquake Shakes Haiti as Recovery Advances (10)

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, January 20, 2010 (ENS) - The strongest aftershock since the 7.0 earthquake that hit Haiti eight days ago rattled the devastated island nation again early this morning. Measured at magnitude 5.9 by the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake was centered 35 miles west-southwest of Port-au-Prince. The shaking was felt for a few seconds across the Port-au-Prince area, frightening survivors, most of whom are camping in the open rather than taking shelter in damaged structures. "It was like: Whoah! Is somebody shaking me awake or was the ground moving?" said U.S. Army Major J.T. Eldridge, the squadron operations officer for the 1st Squadron, 73rd Cavalry R...
