LONDON (AP) — After decades of debate, the Church of England votes Tuesday on whether it will finally admit women to the ranks of bishops — under a compromise proposal that has angered the faithful on both sides of the argument. A majority of the church's governing General Synod is ready to say yes, but that doesn't mean it's all wrapped up. The vote needs a two-thirds majority in order to be approved, and an unlikely coalition of advocates and opponents of female bishops may have enough strength to derail the motion. Some voices on both sides argue that the church's compromise asks them to concede too much. [Mea Culpa: Priest Apologizes for Unholy Facebook Language] While opening the way for female bishops, the proposal before the General Synod also commits the church, when it assigns priests and bishops, to "respect" the position of parishes that oppose them — without defining what respect means in practical terms. Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, th...

It's not exactly an apology tour, but the Business Relations Repair Initiative is fully underway. Since his re-election, President Barack Obama has hosted at least a dozen CEOs at the White House and called several others to hear their ideas about reinvigorating the stagnant economy. The purpose seems obvious: After excoriating "fat-cat bankers" and overpaid CEOs during his first term, the president needs to repair relations with business leaders who collectively have far more power to lower unemployment and boost growth than he does. [ENJOY: Political Cartoons on the Fiscal Cliff] Wheter the outreach is symbolic or substantive remains to be seen, but Obama seems to realize he needs more help from the business community than he may have thought when he first took office in 2009. Above all, businesses need to do one thing if Obama is to achieve many of his second-term economic goals: Spend more money.Business spending helped end the Great Recession in 2009 and initiate a t...

As the Apple-Samsung court battle rages on, a Twitter user has revealed a rather humorous coincidence with this priceless photograph The photo, which was tweeted on Saturday, has become quite the viral sensation, with more than 850 retweets.

The site also claims to have found a LinkedIn account for "someone by the same name" who is also located in Vancouver.

BEIJING -- Thousands of residents protested in a southeastern Chinese city after a traffic accident , smashing police cars and overturning three police vans, police and residents said. The reason for the protest in Fuan city in Fujian province was unclear. Police said it was instigated by “a handful of lawless people.” One resident said people became angry because police and paramedics took nearly an hour to arrive to help the injured, while a Hong Kong-based human rights group said it was to do with corruption. But such protests have become increasingly common in China, and Saturday's violence is another reminder that the country's new leadership has to deal with underlying social discontent that often boils over. People are fed up with corruption and high-handed officialdom, pensions that have not kept pace with inflation and families being forced from their homes to make way for developments. Residents said police were stopping cars and checking people for driving after dr...

BEIJING -- China confirmed on Monday that it had downgraded the position of domestic security chief as part of a move to a new and smaller top elite, an expected move that reflects fears the position had become too powerful.The official Xinhua News Agency said in a brief announcement that Zhou Yongkang's position as head of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, a sprawling body that oversees law-and-order policy, had been taken over by Public Security Minister Meng Jianzhu.The hulking, grim-faced 69-year-old Zhou had to retire along with most members of the Politburo Standing Committee, the inner council at the apex of power, at this month's 18th Party Congress, due to his age. He turns 70 in December. Meng, however, is only a member of the new Politburo, the 25-member body which reports to the down-sized Standing Committee, putting him on a tighter leash and returning to a pattern the party kept to for much of the 1980s.Reducing the party's Standing Committee from ni...

Traditional department stores in China are flexing their muscle to regain their place on the retail battlefield, as the breakneck growth of e-commerce takes its toll.The risks faced by brick-and-mortar retailers have recently been amplified by a string of somber sales figures, especially after online vendors, fueled by the Singles' Day bonanza on Nov. 11, delivered an enviable performance over the past weekend.A department store in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan province, offers a 52-percent discount on Nov. 11, Singles' Day, to compete with e-commerce giants such as Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. that used the occasion to promote their sales with deep price cuts.That day, e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. alone generated 19.1 billion yuan (US$3.06 billion) in sales, triple the combined revenue of around 5,000 retail outlets in Shanghai during the eight-day National Day holidays in early October. During the holidays, from Sept. 30 to Oct. 7, the nation's 100 major retai...

I was recently asked by the New York Times what questions I pose when I interview job candidates. A favorite of mine is "What are you doing when you feel most beautiful?" The reporter printed it, and I received dozens of responses to the question from people around the world . Each of them moved me for their honesty; some, for their audacity. Not surprisingly, most people feel most beautiful when they are involved in an act of service, or are doing something that makes them feel generous, connected, or seen by others. Now, I'm sitting with a group of women in a small house in a Mumbai slum. The house owner is proud of her shiny plates and pots on the wall, the double bed, the sparkling clean floor on which we are all seated. There is a portrait of Sangeeta, an Indian woman who helped pioneer education for the poor in India. The woman in the picture has the devout eyes and modest veil of the Virgin Mary. We talk about the hardships of slum-living: a lack of clean drinking...
