About Yaniel
It's a shame too, Craigslist has always kept an image of being "small" even if it's just the look they go for. To see them lashing out at people that are trying to make their product more useful is, like Mike says, shameful.
Gotta love the logical fallacy in Wright's argument. Isn't that like LSAT prep 101, let alone actual lawyering...
When many people (including me) signed up for netflix, they dind't even offer streaming. Then we got streaming for free for a while but if anyone thought that was indefinitely sustainable then that person is a moron. Now we have to pay for it as was always expected. It seems fair to me and I'm glad I was able to enjoy it for free for a while. In reality, I've always considered streaming and physical disks to be two totally different things that Netflix offered and always knew they'd eventually split it up, or just as they've been saying, completely eliminate dvds. I wonder if people would be this mad if netflix said they're eliminating dvds instead of just making you pay for them separately. In the end it's the same thing.
It states that the officer stopped on the road. If he's blocking the road, it can be assumed he has the lights on and possibly sounded the siren at least momentarily. At that point the guy could have quickly turned on a recorder in a few seconds before the cop was even out of the car. Maybe he carries it because this has happened before, maybe he just happened to have it, maybe it's built into his phone.
If you buy from an unknown site without doing even 5 seconds of due diligence, I wont say you deserve it, but you're an idiot.
this was what jumped out at me as well when I read your last post and put it in the comments. I guess not allowing recording just guarantees that it's their "word" versus ours, and we know who will win that...
wait wait wait... he was also charged with recording the TSA? so considering that it's our words vs theirs, we can't have any evidence?
Thats exactly how it should be. It would be foolish for a professor to think we won't ask friends for help or go online use all resources available to us. Save for stealing an exam, it should all be fair game as study aids. Your professor was smart enough to adapt and evolve.
so basically what you're saying is that the students had to learn 500 questions to be able to answer 50. They had to study and learn the material, including more than what would be on the exam. That's what I consider studying. If they brought the test bank to the exam, then that would be cheating.
what you might be missing is that graphics like those are the biggest trend going right now, many drinks, clothing, food, etc seems like it comes out of the same tasteless design firm.
they both look like the way to common now-a-days Ed Hardy / Affliction douchebag styles. Maybe if either company tried to be original, they wouldn't be having issues.
beat me to it. This fine does not deter a potential suicide bomber from leaving. It only serves to screw the honest person. Big shock there...
This story makes me happy. Anything that might lead to the downfall of Murdoch is OK with me.
I feel no pity for her. She is only sorry that she was caught, and has never been apologetic about her actions. She deserves anything she gets.
forget the whole virus thing... an assassination plot by a polish priest linked to opus dei? you don't have to be computer savvy to realize you're probably being scammed.
when i read stories like this, I can't help but think... if you're that damn gullible, you deserve it.
$10 for a new release seems fair to me when a hard cover costs $20-$30. of course sometimes the ebook costs more than the physical version which is madness.
funny how a 2 minute video can be more informational than a semester worth of econ classes. great work mike!
like you said, car beat the horse and buggy after a long time. eventually these current disruptive technologies like voip calls, messaging, the ebook readers, etc still have lots of innovations left to come and plenty of time to push the old technologies out of the way.

Ethan Berkowitz has no shortage of answers for how Alaska's state government could do better.
During candidate forums, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate jams rapid-fire answers into his allotted one-minute response times, offering a plan to expand wind power to 80 communities to lower diesel use in the state, and a comprehensive approach to improving Alaska's abysmal high school graduation rate. His education proposal would include the chance for all Alaska children to attend preschool.
Berkowitz, 48, is making his third run for statewide office in this traditionally Republican state, this time as the Democratic nominee for governor, after a shot at lieutenant governor in 2006 and a run at U.S. Rep. Don Young's seat two years ago — plus 10 years in the state House of Representatives, all in the minority.
His chances this fall hang largely on whether he convinces voters that the status quo under former Gov. Sarah Palin and her replacement, Sean Parnell, is not acceptable.
"Sean's lack of leadership credentials poses a serious danger to the state," he told The Associated Press. "His mismanagement of the economy, in particular oil and gas policy, is incredibly dangerous."
In a state that usually votes its pocketbook, Berkowitz says Parnell is doing little to confront the very real threat that Alaska's cash cow, the trans-Alaska pipeline, could be turned off within a few years. Alaska receives upward of 90 percent of its general fund income from petroleum revenue. Berkowitz says Parnell is not doing enough.
"He tends to be very reactive at best, passive, and tends to be incremental at a time where we're facing a serious challenge with decreasing throughput through the trans-Alaska pipeline," Berkowitz says. He's waited and watched and had at most, as I said today several times, merely cosmetic changes, instead of taking the bold steps that are necessary to improve the investment climate in Alaska."
Parnell disagrees with Berkowitz on nearly every issue. During their legislative days, when Alaska faced a billion-dollar deficit, Berkowitz was offering budget amendments to spend more and he continues to look government to solve problems, he said.
"Ethan Berkowitz stands for more government," Parnell says. "I stand for more freedom."
Berkowitz, who was born in San Francisco, earned a bachelor's degree in government and economics from Harvard, a master's degree in polar studies from Cambridge University in England and a law degree from the University of California Hastings College of Law in San Francisco.
Berkowitz moved to Alaska in 1991 and clerked for the Alaska Court of Appeals. He worked as a state prosecutor for two years. He was elected five times to the state House from west Anchorage, serving as minority leader for eight years. He's married to Mara Kimmel, an attorney and an assistant professor of political science at the University of Alaska Anchorage. They have two elementary school-age children.
Berkowitz's list of issues begins with steps to construct a natural gas pipeline that could tap vast North Slope resources. The plan championed by Palin and embraced by Parnell, he says, has no chance of success. He calls the state incentive to TransCanada, which won a state license for a pipeline, a "bailout."
"All we've done is paid them $500 million to pursue a process," he said.
He would pull the plug on the process in favor of promoting an in-state line to Valdez. He unveiled a plan to let Alaska individuals and corporations build up a fund that could jump-start financing.
He sees flaws for the industry in Palin's 2007 tax revision plan, Alaska's Clear and Equitable Share. ACES replaced a broken system, he said, but went too far.
"It inadequately addressed the need to encourage investment," Berkowitz said. "We need to encourage investment. We've got geology there that isn't as prime as it once was and we need to do more to ensure that more oil flows through the pipeline. That means in my mind we have to me much more aggressive, and Sean Parnell, in my mind, is offering these sort of tepid, cosmetic changes."
He also wants to build infrastructure in anticipation of Arctic offshore drilling instead of suing the federal government to force it to happen.
For all of Parnell standing on his record as a fiscal conservative, Berkowitz says, Parnell has overseen some of the largest budgets in state history. Alaska needs to get away from tying annual budgets to what it earns in annual oil revenue. The genius of the Alaska Permanent fund, he said, was taking something nonrenewable and making it into something that is. Something similar could be done to create an account whose earnings could pay for state government.
"It's not fair for this generation of Alaskans to spend oil wealth that's been percolating in the ground for millions of years, and deprive the next generation of that ability," he said. "You also have a more stable flow of money. You let the money do more work for you, which helps us preserve our wealth, rather than just spending our money."

1970 Chevy Chevelle - Cheap Street Chevelle: Interior
The best way to enjoy a musclecar is to drive it.
The best way to enjoy a musclecar is to drive it. That's right--plant your butt in the driver's seat, twist the ignition key to bring life to the healthy street/strip engine, and then drive to your cruise spot in style. But if your butt is resting on a torn-up seat with springs poking out, then the journey to the local cruise-in will be less than enjoyable. Moreover, a musclecar with a shabby-looking headliner and filthy carpet will do nothing to impress fellow gearheads as they check out your car.
Cheap Street Chevelle was shabby from the day CC purchased it in 1994. But over the last few years, it's been fitted with a new engine, transmission, and suspension. Outside, the car received the full make-over, including some new body panels and a fresh paint job. Yet the Chevelle still had a ratty interior, complete with torn-up seats, no headliner, and trashed-out door panels. We wanted to make the interior look as good as the exterior, but we didn't want to install a custom-stitched interior. Moreover, we were working on a budget, so the interior redo needed to be as low-buck as possible. Thus, we turned to Original Parts Group, which offers presewn interior kits for a variety of GM cars, including Chevelles, El Caminos, Monte Carlos, GTOs, Tempests, and LeMans. The OPG kits (ours was the basic Stage I kit that costs about $470) can be custom-tailored to fit the needs of your musclecar. Whether you only need a new carpet set and door panels or an entire interior kit, OPG is your one-stop shop for the goods you need to restore your musclecar's interior. Follow along as Mike Ambrose Custom Interiors installs the new OPG interior kit for Project Cheap Street Chevelle.

Have you ever heard about ocean acidification? I first learned about this problem a few years ago from a marine biologist friend of mine, who told me she was starting to see damage to the shells of some of the smaller organisms she surveys. Since then, of course, I feel like I hear about it all the time. So I was surprised to find out that outside of scientific circles, no one seems to have heard about this dramatic and tangible consequence of rising carbon emissions.
What's the deal with ocean acidification? The ocean acts as a sink for some of the carbon dioxide being pumped into our atmosphere via burning fossil fuels. As people produce more and more carbon dioxide, 24 million tons of it are absorbed by our planet's oceans each day. The reaction of carbon dioxide with water produces carbonic acid. Since the start of the industrial revolution, our oceans have become about 30% more acidic. This is already leading to ecosystem stress and contributing to the extinction of marine species. Scientists anticipate that acidification will intensify in the coming decades. Shelled organisms, such as clams, scallops, and mussels, are especially vulnerable to acidification. Their shells, made mainly of calcium carbonate, literally dissolve as pH drops.
Recently, the Iowa City Science Booster Club put together a suite of activities related to ocean acidification for the Cedar Rapids STEM Fest. We wanted to spread the word about this serious aspect of climate change. Some of us were worried we'd face a negative public reaction, as we have gotten a few negative comments at our other climate change exhibits, and acidification is potentially quite upsetting. But the overall public response we've gotten at our climate change events has been so positive, and this material is so important, that we decided to go for it.
Ocean acidification is really easy to explore in a hands-on way. We had people breathe into cups of water with straws. This activity was especially popular with kids. Using simple pH strips, everyone could see that the carbon dioxide they were breathing out had a serious effect on the water's pH. Vigorous bubbling drops the pH from about 7 to between 4 and 5.
We also had a bunch of mussel shells. One of our volunteers boldly sacrificed his menu plans for the week in order to eat as many of these tasty creatures as possible before our exhibition. We let kids touch the shells, and we let people put the shells into a clear plastic box filled with vinegar. Everyone could see that the shells began visibly bubbling as they started to dissolve in the acid.
How did people react to these rather dystopian displays? They were really interested. We didn't have any negative pushback. None of the disgust or despair reactions we've seen occasionally at our previous events. Some people were skeptical. A couple of people asked if the bubbling shells were really representative: surely, the vinegar had a much lower pH than the acidified water they had just produced. Using the pH strips, we were able to show that the reaction between the vinegar and the shells had in fact lowered the solution's pH comparable to that of the acidified water. People looked thoughtful.
I like it when I find skeptical people. By which I mean people who approach new information with skepticism and rigor, not people whose minds are made up about climate change but call their position "skepticism" about the science. Often, people with a skeptical mindset are curious about science, and they really want to understand the data behind important phenomenon. These same people are, however, often predisposed to accepting misinformation labeled as skepticism by biased media outlets. Untold fortunes have been spent to convince the public that there is a debate regarding the scientific consensus on climate change. But it would appear that ocean acidification is a topic that the denial machine has not bothered to misrepresent. So few people know about it that no one seems to have any serious misconceptions on the subject.
This presents us with an interesting opportunity to educate. Using hands on, inexpensive, safe, highly accessible activities, we can allow people to see for themselves what carbon dioxide does to water, making ocean acidification a powerful opportunity to expose skeptical people to the science behind climate change. Plus, you get to make bubbles by blowing into a straw. You get in trouble for that at home!
What a cool thing to find through the Science Booster Club Project. I would never have imagined that this exhibit would be so popular, or that literally no one we encountered at this fairly large event would have heard of ocean acidification- not even teachers! This really pushes home the importance of working on the ground, in communities. Not only will the Science Booster Club project help communities grow a pro-science culture, it will help us at NCSE figure out great methods to approach crucial scientific issues in ways that push controversy aside in favor of personally experienced evidence.

During the past year, we've made several important changes to the website and numerous additions to our content in the hope of making your time with us more enjoyable and productive. Let me discuss those briefly and give you some hint of the direction we're expecting to follow in the new year.
Website. In the early part of the year, we changed server platforms to greatly reduce the load time of our pages. Our new platform, based on Zend PHP products, has cut the wait time on our pages by more than 60%. Appearance-wise, we began formatting our code listings to include line numbers and language-dependent syntax coloring. And last week, we switched off our very fractious, persnickety commenting system. We're now using Disqus (pronounced "discuss"), which is one of the industry standards. It'll now be much easier to post your comments, observations, and suggestions for preferable alternatives (that is, corrections). The only downside to this change (and I believe it is the only one) is that we weren't able to migrate existing comments when we made the change. We'll try to bring them over as we can. We'd love you to try out the new system. But if you prefer to write to me directly, either privately or for public consumption (the latter in our Letters to the Editor section of Dr. Dobb's Journal), you'll find my address at the bottom of every editorial.
Before the end of the year, we'll be making one more major change: a wider text column in the article body. This means images will be larger and listings will display without forcing you to scroll horizontally to see the longer lines of code.
New Formats. Last month, we joined the ongoing mobile party: You can now read Dr. Dobb's on your iPad via a new app available at the Apple app store. Take Dr. Dobb's wherever you go it's all free. We're considering an Android equivalent, but want to get some feedback on the iPad version before proceeding. So, please send us suggestions and comments when you can.
In addition to the iPad app, we've given new prominence to Dr. Dobb's Journal, our PDF magazine. It was formerly published intermittently, but now ships monthly during the fourth week of every month. It contains feature articles that will appear in the succeeding 30 days on the website, the letters to the editor I mentioned above, plus an article from the Dr. Dobb's archives that we feel is of exceptional interest.
We've also started a stronger commitment to video content. Our first foray was the exclusive hosting of all the videos and slide decks from the Oracle JVM Language Summit. We'll be striking other exclusive deals and looking to add more video materials in the new year.
New Content. Dr. Dobb's is the premier site for C/C++, parallelization, and Microsoft developer technologies. As you've seen, we've deepened our commitment to these areas in our coverage this year. We've also expanded coverage of mobile and initiated coverage the cloud. To my knowledge, we're the only major development site with ongoing article series on all three cloud platforms: Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. An article coming this month will also enter into discussion of open-source cloud tools. On November 10th, we'll also be hosting a virtual event consisting of multiple webinar presentations on development for the cloud.
Early this year, we restarted the Language of the Month feature, in which language designers discuss languages they're implementing. Personally, I find new languages to be an area of remarkable creativity more perhaps than any other discipline in software development. Reading about new features, new syntax, and new ways of framing programming issues is for me tremendously satisfying nerd-stim.
We've also been covering open-source programming tools in greater depth (such as our three-part series on the Xtext framework for writing DSLs quickly.) We'll do more of those!
Finally, next year will see the advent of something we've been itching to offer for a long time: product reviews. We already run the Jolt Awards , which has been characterized by several sources as the equivalent of the "Oscars of software development tools." Now, we'll take that same critical eye to individual products and do thorough, unsparing, top-to-bottom assessments.
A unique mission. The new web, video, and mobile presence as well as expanded coverage is enabled by the success of our sales team, who are finding that advertisers are recognizing anew the importance of developers, and especially those who read Dr. Dobb's experienced, serious developers. Which is why you won't find beginner tutorials on our site, nor fluff pieces such as "10 Tips for Java Programmers." Instead, you'll find multi-page articles that treat a subject in depth, written by authorities on the topic. (Notice how few corrections to code or technical content we post.)
This kind of content is comparatively rare. Most developer-oriented websites fall into a few broad categories: news sites, aggregators of other sites' content, and the 10-tips, beginner-style material.
If you want to help us bring you more of this kind of content, the best way is to support us is to be more engaged with us. Subscribe to our weekly newsletter or to the monthly Dr. Dobb's Journal; tweet or post links to Dr. Dobb's articles you like; comment on the articles; and always feel free to drop me a note regarding how we can better meet your needs. Thank you!

A movie star is reborn, and her name is Angela Lansbury.
It's been too long since film audiences have gotten a screen glimpse of one of Hollywood's last great grand dames. Since 1944, Lansbury has been one of cinema's leading lights with memorable performances in such enduring films as "Gaslight," "The Picture of Dorian Gray," "The Long, Hot Summer," "The Manchurian Candidate" and "Death on the Nile," not to mention voicing Mrs. Potts in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" and starring on television as sleuth Jessica Fletcher in the beloved "Murder She Wrote."
And all it took was the combination of Jim Carrey and a sextet of penguins to lure her back to the big screen.
U.S. & World
"It was an unexpected event in my life," Lansbury says of her co-starring stint in "Mr. Popper's Penguins" which is now playing. "But when it came along I found it very hard to resist the opportunity to work with such an extraordinary group of people, particularly led by the great Jim Carrey who I've been a fan of for many, many years. And so it just worked out that it coincided with my career at this time."
"I was working the theatre and I had a chance to be in a movie after many, many years – six years, I think, since I made the last one – in New York City," she says. "And our producer and our wonderful director, Mark Waters and particularly Jim and Carla Gugino and everybody made it a most enjoyable event for me. So glad I did it!"
Lansbury's energy and fortitude on set at age 85 served as an inspiration to her younger co-stars.
"She's incredibly tough," says Gugino. "Four o'clock in the morning she's up running us all ragged. It's unbelievable: enthusiastic, completely into it. And I dream of being that enthusiastic at that point in my career. It's fantastic to watch."
The veteran actress, who spent much of her career stepping effortlessly between Hollywood and Broadway, has a little insight into the current trend of trotting out major movie stars onto the legit stage in hopes of big ticket sales.
"Obviously, the theater audience loves to see movie stars on Broadway," Lansbury says. "Sometimes those actors are effective and good, and we've seen several instances of that. I'm not going to name any names, because there have been some that haven't been so good. But nevertheless, they obviously belong in movies."

Bronx Eats: Revisiting Arth Aljanatain, Van Nest
We've written about Arth Aljanatain, the Yemeni restaurant that anchors a block Rhinelander Avenue dominated by Arab businesses, before, including them in last summer's guide to good eating around the Bronx zoo. Since those first visits, when I lapped up fenugreek broth and savored bread crumbs made dense and sticky by olive oil, I've continued to explore the menu whenever the infrequent opportunity arose.
Looking beyond fatta with olive oil and honey ($8), the menu is predictably heavy on lamb and chicken. Traditional dishes reign, with more generic "fish" ($14) and "grilled chicken" ($12) wedged in. Kabseh ($12), a famous dish of spiced rice and meat, proves a tantalizing option. But it's a dish you have to order a day in advance, a challenge when the staff isn't the most proficient in English. More accessible are mandi ($17), the de facto national dish of tandoor-cooked meat, fufu-redolent aseed ($14-16), and the less well-known melokeya ($13-15).
Having already ordered many of their lamb dishes, I opted, instead, for the curry chicken*: a Spice Winds dish whose presence and apparent significance illustrates a good deal about Yemeni cuisine. The plating was something to appreciate, squiggly chicken strips—colored a clayish yellow by the turmeric—intermingling with scallions and lightly cooked bell peppers. Taken alone, the flavor wasn't so seductive, the protein asking politely for just a little more salt. But its much improved by the addition of the pale tomato-chili sauce which will, inevitably, draw comparisons to pico de gallo. Used as a dressing, it adds vital spunk and brightness to the chicken. If you're dining with friends, I'd suggest ordering the curry alongside the more aggressive, bitter fahsa salta, where the light flavor will be of more service.
* The dish is listed on the menu twice in English, but if you look at the Arabic on the right hand-hand side you'll notice—even to the uninitiated like myself—a difference in language. What does this mean? I can only guess that its suggestive of more than a basic plating difference (ie, rice versus bread), and perhaps compositional difference in the spice mixture. Are these the chicken curry of different regions? Who out there reads Arabic?
Entering the restaurant this past weekend, I walked in on a scene of sambosas ($3 for 2)—previously unavailable here—being assembled by the dozens in the dining room. Whether these snacks are a new addition to the menu or only around for Ramadan, I can't say. But it doesn't really matter, as these aren't worth ordering. The dry, unseasoned minced lamb filling making for an underwhelming appetizer, one not worth the calories.
Whether you opt for chicken or lamb, don't pass on their Yemeni-style spiced tea. Made with black tea leaves and some usual suspect spices, it's free of milk and has a soothingly aromatic quality that's good even in this heat. Just grab a Styrofoam cup and pour from the pitcher as many times as you'd like. The beverage is offered free of a charge, a welcome that overcomes the otherwise opaque language barrier.

Over at BlueOregon blog, Kari Chishom posits a theory about why the Oregonian, which just announced 37 new layoffs, is dying. (See below for a summary.) Of course, at WikiProject Oregon, we're often focused on a different (but not wholly unrelated) issue: the Oregonian's unwillingness to develop a web site worthy of the modern Internet reader's attention.
Kari points to the publisher's inefficient set of offerings for potential advertisers:
Yesterday's announcement of first-ever newsroom layoffs at the Oregonian included this statement:
The Oregonian, like all newspapers, has endured declining revenues the past few years, the result of the recession and the migration of advertising to the Internet.
That latter excuse, to be frank, is crap.
The Oregonian newsroom folks who were laid off – and those that have survived – deserve to know that OregonLive.com is running an online advertising operation that is so bad that there can only be one explanation: They're actually trying to earn less ad revenue.

Proof Sheet: Dan Muchnik
Anybody seen Taken 2? Dan Muchnik is to skate photography what Liam Neeson is to Albanian human traffickers. This is a man whose particular skill set is to get the crispiest of skate images, while his place of residence is a $10-a-month tent pitched in his good friend's backyard. What impressed me initially about Dan was that when he said he'd have an image for you, within the hour it was sitting in your inbox. In hindsight, I realize some of these demands would have entailed a trip outside the tent and over to Starbucks for the free wifi, which makes it that much more heroic. Did I mention that he's got a penchant for Tokyo Drifting that ended with him walking away unscathed from a total wreck?! Or that he'll jack a car up because it's in the way of that perfect angle, then have it slip from its perch directly onto his face and live to tell!? Rest assured, this man will let absolutely nothing stand in the way of him documenting a trick. Albanians, you've been warned!—Joel Jutagir (Metro Skateshop)
How long have you been shooting skating and what got you into it?
It's been 2-3 solid years of shooting skateboarding with the intent to publish. I've been skateboarding since '99, and got into photography due to my understanding that I won't ever make it to professional skateboarding myself, and a fascination with the chemical processes of photography. Before ever taking a camera on a skate mission, I built a pinhole camera and made contact prints in my bathroom for an entire weekend. The smells got me hooked! I progressed within skateboarding and photography in parallel for a while, and eventually I just started bringing gear on the filming missions to teach myself some aspects of photography that I had yet to learn, and have never looked back. It's always a new set of challenges at every spot, and figuring out how to make the best image possible in a new environment is so much fun!
Is there one photograph or photographer that inspired you to take up photography?
I can't pinpoint any single image that put me over the edge; the passion came about more internally. However, there are definitely photographers to whom I look for inspiration. I grew up reading a lot of mags from the late 80's, and Daniel Harold Sturt's images always stuck out to me before I even knew who he was. His shots of Hensley during the early Plan B years are raw perfection. Patrick O'Dell's photo of Chet Childress in the half-demolished pool is another one of my favorites. I love the stuff that shows that energy which is so inherent in skateboarding. At the same time, I'm consistently floored by Brian Gaberman's work; especially the large format stuff. Skateboarding is beautiful and deserves that sort of meticulous attention. There are plenty more—I love this stuff.
What's the best and worst advice you've been given on photography?
Once, after several months of submitting images to various magazines without any feedback, I wrote Dan Zaslavsky an email asking for advice. Dan is from roughly the same area outside of Boston where I grew up, and although we were never super close, I admire his work and his work ethic. I don't remember his exact wording, but his advice was basically that, "That's how it goes, and all you can do is keep trying." It was curt, but I found it inspiring because I took it to mean that it's really just all up to me to make it work. Hard work always pays off—I believe in that firmly.
I think I've mostly given myself my own worst advice. A couple years ago I was shooting what I would consider my first coherent photo project, and was shooting it on a 4×5. I would continuously convince myself to trek far away, during the winter, carrying that unwieldy camera on foot, to shoot what I envisioned to be an epic photograph. By the time I would be ready to set up, meter, and shoot something, my fingers could barely feel what they were doing. It was worth it, but I've since grown to appreciate good weatherproofing and good gloves much more.
Do you have a favorite photo of your own?
I always come back to this ollie photo. It was the first time I had ever shot a skate photo on 4×5 film, and I shot it weeks after my hometown park was ruined. The wooden four-stair (behind frame) had been burned down, broken glass lay all around, and somehow, this concrete funbox had been destroyed. I loved this place—skated there every single day for years, and I had to pay it the respect it deserved. This photo was a funeral of sorts, and if I had to pinpoint a time when I started taking skate photography seriously, this is it.
What's the most interesting story behind one of your photos?
In the summer of 2011, this spot popped up across the river from a frequently-skated Boston ledge spot. I would skate the ledges and constantly glance over at the construction site across the water. It looked pretty sketchy to go there—blatantly trespassing—but after a few sessions, I couldn't take it anymore. My friend Figz and I went on a mission to check the spot out. We spent a good 30 minutes skating there without any contact, and I figured that we'd better quit while we're ahead. Throughout the next week, I spent so much time thinking about how to best shoot there that I knew another session was inevitable. I went there with Matt Lane to shoot a few photos, and before we knew it, a couple hours had gone by. I went back to the spot several times that summer, and it somehow developed the record for most bust-free spot I've ever skated—despite the fact that it was right in the middle of a major state construction area. I guess that's bureaucracy for ya.
What advice would you give to up and coming skate photogs?
Number one: Be reliable. After you've nailed that, I'd say, just let your passion guide you. If you're genuinely curious about making great images, you can't go wrong, and people will want to help you. Like in all other aspects of life, just be you, and if you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong.
Do you prefer digital or film?
Digital photography is a godsend for skateboarding. That said, I've built a darkroom or at least set up a little film developing area almost everywhere I have lived, and shoot film for all my personal projects. Luckily, Hayward, California where I've been living has a publicly subsidized darkroom called Photocentral. They're only open for one five-hour block every week, but it's an amazing facility run by people who love what they do. The topic has been beaten to death, but I do find that the analog process yields more significance to the image. It forces you to think about what you are doing because you are using up physical matter and space. I really like large format, especially—you have just one photograph to shoot with each piece of film, so unless you're 100-percent certain that you want the image, there's no reason to press the cable release. It forces perfection upon you. I'd really recommend starting with a film camera and a separate light meter for anybody looking to take up photography.
What's in your camera bag?
Nikon d300 w/ grip
Nikon primes: 10.5mm f2.8, 35mm f2, 50mm f1.4, 85mm f1.8, 70-210mm f4
2x Nikon sb 28's, Lumedyne p4xx action pack
Sekonic l558r and Pocketwizards
Tripod, light stands, super clamp, swivel bracket, CTO and 216 diffusion gels, black wrap, loads of AAs, cables, gaff tape, painter's tape, skate tool, leatherman, blower brush, microfiber cloth, Panchro
Technically not in the bag, but bondo, a broom and a saw are crucial.
On special days, my Hasselblad or 4×5 might come out to play. Or, if I'm skating a city, I might just say screw it, and just pack an FM2 with a 50mm so I can skate fast. Gear is fun, but sometimes it's best to keep it simple.
Your photography website if you have one:
I've been blowing it on this. I don't have anything I'm proud of yet, but it's in the works for sure!

Before: Judge Patricia Wald, Pre-Appeal Judge
Registrar: Mr. Hans Holthuis
Order of: 23 March 2001
Counsel for the Prosecutor:
Mr. Upawansa Yapa
Counsel for the Defence:
Mr. Ranko Radovic, Mr. Tomislav Pasaric for Zoran Kuprekic
I, PATRICIA WALD, Judge of the International Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of the Former Yugoslavia since 1991 ("the International Tribunal"),
HAVING BEEN APPOINTED as pre-appeal Judge in this matter by virtue of an order of the Appeals Chamber dated 14 March 2001;
BEING SEISED OF the "Prosecutions Urgent Motion for a Re-scheduling of the Date of Oral Hearing and Variation of Order for Protection of Certain Witnesses" filed by the Office of the Prosecutor ("the Prosecution") on 19 March 2001 ("the Prosecution Motion");
NOTING the "Scheduling Order" issued on 14 March 2001 which ordered, inter alia, that an oral hearing be held at 10 am on Friday 30 March 2001 and Vlatko Kupreskic present oral argument;
NOTING the "Decision On The Motions of Appellants Vlatko Kupreskic, Drago Josipovic, Zoran Kupreskic and Mirjan Kupreskic to Admit Additional Evidence" issued by the Appeals Chamber on 26 February 2001 ("Decision of 26 February 2001");
NOTING the "Confidential Motion, Pursuant to Rule 115, for Admission of Additional Evidence on Appeal by the Appellant, Vlatko Kupreskic" filed by counsel for Vlatko Kupreskic on 5 September 2000 ("the Rule 115 Motion") which, inter alia, sought the admission into evidence before the Appeals Chamber of additional witnesses ("the additional witnesses") and additional documents;
NOTING FURTHER that the Rule 115 Motion also suggested that the lawyers of Vlatko Kupreskic at trial ("the former counsel") were grossly negligent in the preparation and presentation of the defence case;
NOTING that the Prosecution Motion requests that the Appeals Chamber grant the following orders:
NOTING the "Urgent Response on Behalf of Vlatko Kupreskic to Prosecutions Urgent Motion for a Re-scheduling of the Date of Oral Hearing and Variation of Order for Protection of Certain Witnesses" filed by counsel for Vlatko Kupreskic on 23 March 2001 ("Urgent Response") which vigorously resists the granting of the Prosecution Motions requests;
NOTING that Rule 127 of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence ("the Rules") provides that the Appeals Chamber may exercise the power to enlarge any time prescribed by or under the Rules on good cause being shown by motion;
NOTING the reasons provided in the Prosecution Motion for a variation to the date of the oral hearing;
NOTING that the Prosecution apparently believes that the oral hearing will require the appellant Vlatko Kupreskic to make arrangements for witnesses residing in Croatia to attend; cross-examination of those witnesses by the Prosecution; and the possibility of evidence being called in rebuttal;
CONSIDERING that the Prosecutions understanding of the purpose and scope of the oral hearing is mistaken;
NOTING that Vlatko Kupreskic in his Rule 115 Motion originally sought to admit the evidence of 19 additional witnesses and numerous exhibits ("the proposed evidence") and divided the proposed evidence into seven groups;
NOTING the provisions of Rule 115(A) of the Rules that a party may apply by motion to present before the Appeals Chamber additional evidence which was not available to it at the trial and Rule 115(B) that the Appeals Chamber shall authorise the presentation of such evidence if it considers that the interests of justice so require;
NOTING that the Appeals Chamber in its Decision of 26 February 2001 rejected the proposed evidence relating to five of the seven groups on the basis that those groups could not satisfy the requirements of Rule 115(B);
NOTING that the Appeals Chamber found that two of the seven groups: alibi evidence and other matters relating to 15 April 1993; and evidence rebutting the Prosecutions case as to Vlatko Kupreskics involvement in the police could satisfy the requirements of Rule 115(B) and therefore could require the presentation of the evidence in the appeal provided that Vlatko Kupreskic is able to satisfy the Appeals Chamber as to the requirements of Rule 115(A);
CONSIDERING that the burden of proof rests upon Vlatko Kupreskic to satisfy the requirements of Rule 115(A);
CONSIDERING that, in relation to Vlatko Kupreskic, the purpose of the oral hearing is to provide an opportunity to counsel for Vlatko Kupreskic to put forward oral arguments, based upon the material that has been hitherto presented to the Appeals Chamber in the Rule 115 Motion, to show whether a prima facie case of gross negligence of former counsel exists;
CONSIDERING that, if such a prima facie case is established, the presentation of further evidence by the Prosecution relating to the conduct of former counsel for Vlatko Kupreskic may be required prior to a determination by the Appeals Chamber as to whether the requirements of Rule 115(A) have been met;
CONSIDERING that, with the exception of the request to re-schedule the date of the oral hearing, at the present stage of the proceedings the Appeals Chamber is not therefore required to decide upon the other requests by the Prosecution;
CONSIDERING FURTHER that the basis for the request to re-schedule the date of the oral hearing is mistaken and that good cause for rescheduling the date of the oral hearing has consequently not been shown;
NOTING that the Urgent Response requests the Appeals Chamber to extend the time allowed for oral argument to one hour for the reason that there is a considerable quantity of material to deal with;
CONSIDERING that good cause to extend the time allowed for oral argument has been shown;
HEREBY DENY the Prosecution Motion in part in respect of the request to re-schedule the date of the oral hearing and ORDER that:
Done in both English and French, the English text being authoritative.
Judge Patricia Wald
Pre-Appeal Judge
Dated this 23rd day of March 2001
At The Hague,
The Netherlands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
You should only use video converters and extenders if it is absolutely necessary to do so. In many cases, most video converters and extenders are not necessary if you purchase the correct cable.
The following table lists the maximum length of cable for common video standards.
|Video standard
|Maximum length
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|200 ft. (71m)
Note: StarTech.com offers cables longer than what is listed above, including active cables, which typically include built-in active signal boosters that allow for longer cables. Active cables are specifically designed to exceed the suggested maximum lengths and are tested at the listed specifications (for example, the maximum listed resolution).
Video adapters
Video adapters passively adapt a cable from one connector type to another. Video adapters do not change the signal type, or change the video standard.
Examples of common applications for adapters include the following:
DVI-I to VGA
RCA to BNC
Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort
Couplers (female to female, or male to male)
Note: You can use a coupler to extend a cable for a short distance. However, each coupler that you use can introduce signal loss, which degrades the signal quality.
Video converters
Video converters actively process and change the signal type from one video standard and convert it to another standard. They are typically used to convert digital to analog and vice versa, but can be used to convert a digital signal to another digital video standard (for example, HDMI to DisplayPort).
Video converters work over short distances from the source to the destination: up to 15 feet or 3 meters.
Video extenders
Video extenders convert an input signal to a higher voltage for transmission over longer distances and then convert the input signal back to the original video standard. The input and the output signal will match on a video extender, as the same video standard is maintained end-to-end. If a cable is extended with adapters or converters, the signal quality degrades.
Note: For more information on using a video adapter or converter with a video extender, see the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/video_signal_converters_convert_then_extend.

When you troubleshoot issues with a DisplayPort cable, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
DisplayPort cable
Video source
Video destination
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the DisplayPort cable, video source, and video destination in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different DisplayPort cable, video source, and video destination in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test the DisplayPort cable, video source, and video destination it is recommended that you do the following:
Verify that the source resolution matches the capabilities of the video source destination. For example, if the destination is only capable of 1920 x 1080, then the source cannot output 2560 x 1600, as that exceeds the capabilities of the video source destination.
Test at a lower resolution or a lower refresh rate, for example, 1024 x 768.
If you are using 4K resolutions, test with a shorter cable.
If you are experiencing issues with the audio over DisplayPort, make sure that the following is true:
The source is set up to output audio over DisplayPort.
The destination is compatible with the source's audio format.
The destination volume has been raised.

You may be required to enter your Vol State username and password before completing and submitting the form.
The deferred payment plan is available to allow students to pay their registration fee in installments. The plan does not apply to books or to noncredit classes and is available for the fall and spring semesters only. All students in good financial standing are eligible to participate in the deferred payment plan for their registration fees (does not include the application fee).
The plan requires a 50% down payment plus a $25.00 administrative fee and two additional 25% installment payments.
学生们 who fail to pay the 50% down payment will be deleted from the class rolls. For students who fail to pay their second or third installments, records will be held, late penalties applied, and other collection efforts will be pursued; however, the student will not be deleted from the class rolls. In addition, late fees will be charged 10 calendar days after the installment due date. Late fees are $25.00 per month up to a maximum amount $100.00 per semester.
Withdrawal from classes does not forgive any remaining balance due. 退款 for students on the deferred payment plan are calculated based on the total fees assessed the student (not just the portion of the fees actually paid). Then total fees assessed are reduced by the amount the student has paid and the refund credit. If the student has an overall credit balance, that amount will be refunded to the student. PLEASE NOTE THE REFUND IS NOT CALCULATED ON THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID.
Deferred payments may be made in the Business Office or online. If the deferred payment is paid in the Business office (at the cashier window, by mail or payment by phone), the student must complete a deferred payment contract and submit to the Business Office. The Deferred Payment contracts are available in the Business Office or on the link at the left of this web page. The contract requires the student signature. For deferred payments not completed online, the installment charge will not appear on the student account until 10 days prior to the due date. If you want to pay the installment early and the charge is not showing on the student account, please contact the 商务办公 at (615)230-3585.
If the deferred payment is paid online, you will agree to an electronic agreement in the payment process and do not have to complete the Deferred Payment Contract form. You can view instructions for the set-up and payment for the online 延期付款计划在这里. The online deferred payment plan gives students an option to save a payment method for the installments due October 1 and November 1 for fall term and March 1 and April 1 for spring term. A saved payment method is a stored credit card, debit card, or electronic check. Students also have the option to set up payments to be made automatically on the due dates. Please refer to the Deferred Payment Plan instructions on how to set up automatic payments. If the choice is made to set up automatic payments using a debit card, please be aware of the automatic charge to your account on the due date. If students choose not to set up automatic payments, they will be responsible for paying the installments on the due dates. 学生们 have the ability to change the saved payment method online. If you have questions regarding the online Installment Plan or the saved payment method, please contact the 商务办公 at (615)230-3585.

Flying horses: Twas photoman Muybridge who concluded 'yes'
Q. Can a horse fly? Seems like nonsense, yet the question prompted railroad baron and former California governor Leland Stanford to join forces with photographic wizard Eadweard Muybridge to provide an answer. What's the full story? –M. Boyle
A. It was the 1870s, a time of technical explosion with the invention of the telephone and phonograph, and with Thomas Edison about to unveil the light bulb, reported Stanford University Magazine. The scientific world was also debating whether a galloping racehorse lifts all four legs in the air at once, with advocates swearing they did and opponents vehemently denying it.
Enter advocate Leland Stanford, future university founder and avid horseman, whose interest was to clinch his pet theory. He turned to Muybridge for help. It took five years of experimentation, but the photographer got the shots, using 12 cameras whose shutters were triggered by wires stretched across a racetrack. Muybridge's 1878 film stunned the world when he caught a galloping horse in the act of "flying," with all four legs off the ground.
"Those hoofbeats reverberated in art and science and are still being heard today," the magazine reports. "And in pursuing for Stanford the secrets of equine gait, Muybridge unwittingly set the stage for a spectacular invention– the motion picture."
Q. What is the name for a sentence that contains all 26 letters of the English alphabet? –A. B. Fox
A. The above sentence is not a "pangram" but "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is. It uses the letters from a to z, making it a traditional favorite for testing out a new typewriter or keyboard, says Oxford University Press.
You'll notice that some letters in this sentence are actually used more than once; there's no ready example of a sentence that uses all the letters of the alphabet once only. Of course, that doesn't mean it would be impossible for you to find one.
Q. Aside from a hangman's noose, was there ever a more dreaded thing strung around a guy's neck than an infernal necktie. So, what's the point? –D. Niven
A. Neckwear goes back thousands of years, to neckwraps of Chinese soldiers circa 221 B.C. and Roman soldiers a few centuries later, says clothing and textiles researcher Kathleen Huun. The modern necktie is traced to the cravat worn by Croatian mercenaries brought in by Louis XIII during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), soon to be copied by the French. The accessory's unmistakable military origins help explain its strong association today with the masculine wardrobe.
"In psychological terms, this vertical, linear accessory has become the erotic symbol of men's wear," Huun writes.
Due to its conspicuous position on the body, the necktie is ideal as a statement-making billboard: "I am wealthy." "I work with my head, not my hands." "I belong to such-and-such a club, fraternity or group."
Refusal to wear a tie, or wearing one that's flamboyant or untraditional, are statements of their own. University of California psychologist Susan B. Kaiser adds that while the basic "uniform" of suit, shirt and tie goes back about 100 years, its roots trace back even earlier to the growth of a "business class" mentality in Western culture. This entails a masculine denunciation of style, a disdain for what seems too feminine or frivolous to succeed in the business world. The look can also be associated with the Protestant ethic of some denial of pleasure along with a lot of hard work if one wants to get ahead.
At least the tie, though uncomfortable and essentially useless, does "allow for some color and creativity within a carefully defined and small space," Huun writes. "It provides an outlet for expression that the rest of the look cannot."

By Steve Garmhausen
For The Associated Press
Money-market funds: You might know them as a safe place to park your cash and perhaps gather a tiny bit of interest in the process.
But in Washington, D.C., money funds have been the subject of high drama since the 2008 financial crisis. At issue have been years-long efforts by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Wall Street's cop, to reform the rules under which these funds operate--in order to avoid investor panics of the sort that occurred a few years ago.
Those efforts have been dogged by opposition from the mutual fund industry.
Last week marked a milestone in the saga, with the SEC releasing proposed new rules for the industry. The commission's intent: To help shield the financial system from shocks that could put the economy at risk. The details of the reform effort can get technical pretty fast. Here's a Q&A overview of what's going on:
Q: What's the purpose of reforming the money-market fund industry?
A: Money funds are more than a safe place for mom and pop to put their cash. These funds have $2.6 trillion in assets, most of that from corporations, banks and governments. Corporations rely on the funds as a source of short-term financing, making them a major part of the machinery that keeps the country's financial system running.
The effort to reform the industry's rules springs from the 2008 financial crisis, when the risk of investor "runs" on money funds became clear. In September of that year, the oldest money fund--and one of the biggest--experienced a decline in value. That might not seem like a big deal, since mutual fund values fluctuate with the market all the time. But investors have long expected money funds to maintain a stable value of $1 per share. When the Reserve Primary Fund "broke the buck," dropping from $1 to 97 cents in value, investors panicked.
Within days, investors had yanked some $300 billion from funds similar to Reserve Primary, helping to bring the short-term credit market to a standstill. Companies struggled to find the funding needed to make payroll and meet other critical expenses. Only intervention by the Treasury Department, which offered to insure the funds, prevented a potentially disastrous chain reaction. Avoiding a replay of this scenario is the SEC's goal.
Q: What is the SEC proposing?
A: The commission has put forward two proposals. The first requires the riskiest kind of money funds to switch from the current system, in which they use a "fixed" share price of $1, to a "floating" share price that fluctuates with the market. Money funds invest very conservatively, but the value of the assets they hold does, on rare occasions, move up and down ever so slightly.
Traditionally, when portfolio values have fallen, the parent fund companies have stepped in to prop up the value of the shares. The company that ran the Reserve Primary Fund was the exception_it didn't have the resources to prop up the fund's $1 "net asset value."
The idea behind the floating share prices, or floating NAVs, is to de-stigmatize changes in fund value. "The idea was to have the NAVs float, and train investors to understand that they'll fluctuate," says John Rekenthaler, vice president of research at Morningstar, Inc. That, in theory, would make panics less likely. The floating NAV proposal would not affect the two safer flavors of money funds, known as retail and government funds.
The SEC's second proposal attempts to more directly discourage investors from making runs on money funds. It envisions a stable share price but includes charging investors a fee for redemptions during times of stress and giving fund directors the ability to temporarily suspend redemptions for up to 30 days.
The two SEC proposals may ultimately be adopted separately or combined into a reform package.
Q: To what extent would all this affect average investors?
A: With the proposal just unveiled, the industry is still deciphering what its impact might be. Even if certain funds' NAVs end up floating, their range of volatility is expected to be minimal. But Jerry Klein, managing director at HighTower's Treasury Partners, worries that such a change could for technical reasons make money funds more difficult to use in overnight bank "sweep" accounts. In sweep accounts, money is moved from a cash account to an investment account overnight in order to earn a small return.
In addition, investors who don't have gains and losses to report under the fixed-NAV model, in some cases, may be required to report even tiny gains for tax purposes, he says.
It's important to note that at this stage, the proposals are just that--proposals. Up next is a public comment period, which could lead to revisions. The money-fund industry is certain to weigh in vigorously. The last thing that it needs is to lose more investors. In part because of the 2008 scare and in part because of paltry yields, money-fund assets have plunged from $3.9 trillion to $2.6 trillion over the past three years.
There's no pressing need for investors to decide whether to move their money to alternative investments or stay put: Klein predicts that the earliest the SEC commissioners would vote on the proposals would be late this year.

Patient Services
The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) is an integrated system of clinics and hospitals that offer you and your loved ones the care you need to stay well. This includes primary care (like check-ups and immunizations) as well as the specialty care you need to treat a serious illness or a chronic disease. Our goal is to be your medical home, a place where you have a team of health professionals who help guide you to the right care at the right place at the right time.
What services can I get at DHS?
DHS offers a full range of services depending on your needs. The best way to get care is to go to a DHS clinic near you and choose it as your medical home. When you choose a medical home, you will be able to see the same team of health professionals when you need care. They will have access to your medical records and help you to get the prescriptions and referrals you need. Whether you need primary, specialty or emergency care – all of your care is coordinated through your medical home.
Primary Care
Primary care services include routine, but important services such as check-ups, immunizations, wellness visits, prenatal care, and treatment for chronic illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure, or congestive heart failure. Primary care services are often provided by family practice or internal medicine physicians, but primary care is also provided by physician assistants, certified medical assistants, and nurses who have the proper training.
Primary care services at the Glendale Health Center include:
- Adult Medicine
- Pediatrics
- Women's Health (OB/GYN)
- Family Planning
- Health Screenings & Physicals
Specialty Care
On the recommendation of your primary care medical home provider, you may be referred to a specialist, such as a cardiologist, urologist or dermatologist, for treatment when you have a serious medical condition. For example, if you have a heart condition, you might be referred to a cardiologist. For a foot problem, you may be referred to a podiatrist. These specialists work with your primary care medical home provider to manage your care and make sure you get the treatment you need.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N) will buy an additional $50 billion in U.S.-made products over the next decade in areas like sporting goods and high-end appliances in what the world's largest retailer called a bid to help boost the U.S. economy.
Wal-Mart, the largest private employer in the United States, also said on Tuesday it plans to hire 100,000 newly discharged veterans over the next five years, at a time when the U.S. unemployment rate is at 7.8 percent.
Wal-Mart said the plan to buy more U.S.-made goods is an effort to create U.S. jobs and spur economic growth. Critics countered that the company and other retailers could help the economy by paying better wages and offering workers more regular hours.
The moves come as the U.S. economy continues to grow slowly 3-1/2 years after the end of a severe recession. An average of $5 billion a year in spending is a drop in the bucket for the $15 trillion U.S. economy, and the question is how many other retailers could do the same.
Terry Lundgren, chief executive of Macy's Inc (M.N) and until this month the chairman of the National Retail Federation, told Reuters that Wal-Mart's plans to buy American were good but that cost would still be an issue.
"We would all love to do that, the customer will not pay more," Lundgren told Reuters on the sidelines of an NRF event where Wal-Mart presented its plans.
The moves received a cool reception from critics who claimed Wal-Mart does not pay its workers enough and slammed the retailer for selling too many goods made in lower-cost countries like China. The company is also under pressure over its sourcing practices, particularly after a deadly fire at a Bangladesh factory that made Wal-Mart clothes.
Wal-Mart's U.S. unit says about two-thirds of the goods it buys for its stores are made, sourced from or grown in the United States, citing data from its suppliers. It did not give a dollar amount for how much it pays for those goods, or what percentage the increased domestic sourcing would bring.
The company has previously run "Made in America" campaigns, and in the early 1990s it was criticized for promoting foreign goods as domestically made.
Last year, 55 percent of Walmart U.S. sales came from groceries like food and drinks as well as other products that are typically sourced locally. Only 7 percent of Walmart U.S. sales were of apparel, jewelry and accessories, which retailers typically get from lower-cost countries.
To the extent Wal-Mart buys more U.S.-made goods the company would have otherwise imported, it would reflect the recent shift in the U.S. commercial relationship with the rest of the world.
Both economic output and net imports declined sharply during the 2007-09 recession. While gross domestic product has rebounded, net imports have not, a sign the United States is meeting more demand for goods and services domestically.
The company said its Walmart U.S. and Sam's Club warehouse chain will increase what they already buy in the United States in categories like sporting goods, basic apparel, storage containers, games and paper products.
Wal-Mart is not a member of the NRF, a major industry trade association that has promoted the importance of retail jobs in the United States. The NRF asserts that 25 percent of American jobs are supported by the retail industry.
Along that line, the company said starting on Memorial Day in May, it plans to hire 100,000 U.S. veterans over five years, a move supported by First Lady Michelle Obama.
"We've developed a national paralysis that's driven by all of us waiting for someone else to do something," Walmart U.S. Chief Executive Bill Simon said in prepared remarks for the NRF. "But if we're waiting on government, we're waiting on a process that can't act with the same speed as business."
Veterans' issues are of personal interest to Simon, who served 25 years in the U.S. Navy and Navy Reserve. The company said it will offer a job to any honorably discharged veteran in the first year after active duty.
Depending on the time of year, there are anywhere from 15,000 to 50,000 job postings at Walmart. The company said it promotes about 170,000 people each year to jobs with more responsibility and higher pay.
About 75 percent of its store management started as hourly associates, and now earn an average of $50,000 to $170,000 a year. The highest earning store manager last year made more than $250,000. Wal-Mart has repeatedly claimed its pay and benefits are in the top half of the retail industry.
Starting wages for Walmart U.S. store employees vary by market. Simon noted that in his first job as a dishwasher in a restaurant, he made $2.10 an hour.
Walmart U.S. also said it would give part-time workers the first shot at full-time positions. It also plans to make scheduling more transparent, giving part-time workers the ability to choose more of their own hours.
Simon had barely finished speaking at the NRF event before critics responded to the new spending and hiring plan.
"Retailers like Walmart could provide the nation with a much needed economic boost by paying higher wages and providing stable scheduling - while still remaining profitable and continuing to offer low prices," Stuart Appelbaum, president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, said in a statement. "By part-timing their workforce, they're hurting both workers and our economy by fueling underemployment."
Sales for Walmart U.S. rose 1.5 percent to $264.19 billion in fiscal 2012, which ended in February 2012, and accounted for 59.5 percent of the company's total sales.
One issue Simon did not discuss was the retailer's position on guns, a hot topic since the massacre at a Newtown, Connecticut elementary school last month. Wal-Mart is the nation's largest gun retailer.
Gun-control advocates rallied on Tuesday outside a store just eight miles from Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 children and six educators were killed on December 14.
The retailer canceled a series of media interviews with Simon after his NRF speech, including one with Reuters. Some media outlets claimed the cancellation was due to his reluctance to discuss the gun issue. A spokesman declined to give a reason.
Walmart shares rose 1.1 percent to $69.05 in afternoon trading, while the S&P retail index .SPXRT rose 0.6 percent.
