If you wanted to buy a Subaru Outback, but found the price too low, you might want to consider the 2013 Audi Allroad. Or, if you wanted a new A4 wagon and missed out on the 2012s, the Allroad would be your only choice.
The new Allroad takes the idea of an A4 wagon and butches it up just a little. The 18-inch wheels and a slightly lifted suspension achieve 7.1 inches of ground clearance, while steel underbody pans give the car some extra protection. But Allroad does not mean off-road, as this Audi lacks a few basics for serious wilderness work.
Although Audi's Quattro system comes standard, giving it advanced all-wheel drive, you won't be able to lock the differential to maintain power at all wheels. And while the traction control includes an off-road setting, the Allroad does not have descent control, forcing the driver to rely on the manual gear selection mode from the eight-speed automatic transmission.
While I was trying to coax it up a rocky slope, the all-season tires lost grip and no amount of Quattro could overcome the Allroad's predicament until I had reset its position, finding a more stable track.
Despite it not being equipped to tackle a cross-Sahara trek, the Allroad is an excellent all-purpose car. The wagon design gives it plenty of room for passengers and cargo. It shines as a suburban grocery getter, daily commuter, and weekend ski transport.
Built-in Street View
What really sets the Audi Allroad apart from the Subaru Outback is the near-perfect cabin tech, made up of the same navigation, stereo, and hands-free phone system I recently enjoyed in the Audi S5.
The Premium Plus trim Allroad I tested came equipped with Audi's most recent MMI, which stands for Multimedia Interface. Its most astonishing feature is the Google Earth-integrated navigation system, which relies on an always-on data connection to download satellite imagery of the car's current surroundings, or anywhere you want to browse on the map.
One relatively recent feature of this system is the ability to get a Street View of destinations. After entering a destination, or simply browsing the map, I could zoom all the way in so that the Allroad's LCD filled with Street View imagery of that location. This feature lets you get a photographic view of your actual destination, making it easy to recognize when you arrive.
When the car was in a cellular dead spot, such as a parking garage, the map reverted to a stored representation, which is quite impressive in itself. The maps show in either 2D or perspective views, with the latter including 3D-rendered buildings for some downtown areas. Both Google Earth and stored maps also show traffic, both flow data and incidents. When I drove into areas without a data connection, the Google Earth maps lost detail, but still showed a blurry approximation of the territory. I assume prolonged driving in a dataless land would have caused the system to revert to its stored maps automatically.
The MMI controller requires use of a dial to enter alphanumeric characters, which makes entering addresses or searching the points-of-interest database really tedious. However, the car's voice command let me enter street addresses as a single string, without having to say the street name, city, and state separately. And this system did an excellent job of recognizing even difficult names, such as "Tehama," an alley next to CNET's San Francisco offices.
However, I really came to rely on using voice command to access Google Search when I wanted to find a business. Naming a business, such as Home Depot, caused the system to churn for a few moments as it processed my command and then used the car's data connection to retrieve nearby results. This feature worked so well that other automakers would be foolish not to offer an equivalent.
B&O optional
The car's hard drive, primarily used to store maps, reserves space for music, which you can copy over to it. The stereo also supports Bluetooth-streaming audio and features two SD card slots just below the CD player. For iPod and USB, the Allroad features a proprietary port able to accept different adapter cables. This port is inconveniently placed in the glove box, though, which meant that I left my iPhone in the car a couple of times, and had to go back down to the garage to retrieve it.

With not one but two penis-related scandals hitting headlines in just weeks, Carrie Bickmore has copped it for her own ''Todd Carney moment'' from TV colleagues Peter Helliar and Dave Hughes.
In a merciless ribbing from the two comedians on Nova's breakfast show, Hughes suggested Bickmore would lose her job and should see if she can join Carney in France and present ''Le Project''.
Following last night's literal cock-up when Bickmore shocked viewers by accidentally holding up a piece of paper with a large phallic drawing live on The Project, the presenter fronted up to the pair to explain herself.
Bickmore claimed she was joking with the audience during a break about what former co-host Charlie Pickering would sketch on his notes. However, when back on air, she forgot about the offending, albeit rather basic, scrawl.
''I had no idea,'' she told the Nova hosts. ''It was only when we went off air that the director had screenshotted it ... and I almost died.''
Hughes said her career would be over and she would have to leave the country.
''Maybe Todd Carney's got some room in the French rugby league team that he's moved to,'' Hughes said. ''It's a Todd Carney moment.''
Helliar agreed: ''It is right up there with Todd Carney, I've got to say.''
''It is not up there with Todd Carney,'' Bickmore disputed.
Helliar continued to taunt the TV host by asking listeners to phone in. ''Which is more offensive, the Todd Carney photo or the Carrie Dickmore scandal?''
Helliar had already noted that Johnny Knoxville, appearing on the show last year, had called her Carrie Dickmore. ''It seemed like it was quite prophetic, to be honest.''
Hughes was particularly biting about the scandal, claiming that the Australian Broadcasting Authority was investigating and she should make a solo apology on the The Project on Friday night, a show which Hughes is also appearing on.
''My good name is possibly being dragged through the mud, because of something that happened at the end of The Project last night," Hughes said.
Hughes asked what she was going to tell her five-year-old son, Ollie. ''He's got to go to school on Monday, doesn't he? Is he going to have to move schools? Is he going to have to go into the witness relocation program? Are you going to leave Australia?''
Supporting Bickmore's case, Charlie Pickering posted this in April after his last show:
To all those who have asked what I sign at the end of @theproject here it is, for 1244 eps I've signed this.Thank you pic.twitter.com/LEkpHC2NU9 — Charlie Pickering (@charliepick)
April 7, 2014
OMG! So embarrassed! Was laughing with audience in the break about what @charliepick signed at the end of every show! #CharliesRevenge #oops — Carrie Bickmore (@BickmoreCarrie)

People between the ages of 15 and 24 are most likely to be targeted by gun violence as opposed to other forms of violence.
From 1976 to 2005, 77 percent of homicide victims ages 15-17 died from gun-related injuries. This age group was most at risk
for gun violence during this time period.
Teens and young adults are more likely than persons of other ages to be murdered with a gun. Most violent gun crime, especially
homicide, occurs in cities and urban communities. [1]
Intimate partner violence can be fatal when a gun is involved — from 1990 to 2005, two-thirds of spouse and ex-spouse homicide victims were killed by guns. The overall number of firearm homicides among intimates has fallen considerably during the past 30 years, however.
Learn more about homicide trends in the United States from the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

How this map was made:
Since exact dates, rather than months, delimit the snow accumulation season, the technique to generate these statistics incorporated whole month and partial-month snowfall totals. Whole month snowfall totals (Dec., Jan., Feb.) could be used for all stations, however a weighted fraction of the monthly snowfall was used when the onset and/or end date fell within a month. This fraction was based on the number of days in a particular month that was included in the snow accumulation season. Therefore, since the snow accumulation season is variable throughout the state, snowfall totals must be compiled from unequal time periods for each station.
For each season, one gridded map was generated based on the individual station observations using a kriging technique. From this, a software procedure extracted the 99th percentile snowfall statistic for each gridpoint, based on the entire distribution for the given number of seasons. The units represent an annual snowfall total (inches) in which 99% of the observation are below the given value.

The location was awesome. Easy to walk around the city and see sights. The first time I stayed at a hotel that gave you shampoo and not conditioner. Mold in the shower. My neck still hurts from their overstuffed pillows Cheap itchy sheets
Great location Over priced for quality of the room. Room wasn't as clean as you would like.
Room was clean and modern. Walking distance to pretty much everything downtown. Shower knob was not working correctly. Water was coming out of both the shower head and the bath faucet. Bed seemed a bit firm. Bed was a bit squeaky too.
The place smells like a sewer. Not clean and not what you would expect. Then they hit you with New York and Chicago priced parking of $30.00 a night. I walked out and got another hotel. Not worth it.
Good location Dirty, smelled like smoke, beds are terrible, no help from staff upon checking, couldn't find reservation.
Good downtown location Every single thing is outdated and gross looking. Carpet has stains, a/c unit noisy and musty smelling, towels cheap and old. Rooms are tiny. Basically a budget oriented dump with a good location. Even the restaurant/bar was a dump. Didn't want to sit in the chair in my room as it looked like it was in a frat house for 10 years.
The entire staff was great but the front desk staff were very friendly and accommodating. The hotel seems a bit dated but it that didn't take away from our visit.
The service and location were great! The room was very over priced for what it was. Our room was pretty small and the room didn't ever seem to cool down. The price could have been due to it being 4th of July weekend, but I feel you were really paying for the location and not the amenities
Location Cleanliness problems with a broken bed dirty mirrors
Great location. Friendly and professional front desk workers. Restaurant inside the hotel was subpar and the hostess was classless and unprofessional. Rooms were clean but old and in need of updating. Only 3 elevators for a large hotel, and they kept breaking down causing delays all 3 days.
The staff was very friendly, accommodating and personable. Any requests that I made was handled promptly and efficiently. The hotel felt old and tired. The elevators were ill equipped to handle the amount of people that were at the convention.
Good location Poor restaurant
Overall, the room/bathroom were clean and quiet - bed was extremely comfortable; full length mirror in room; great lighting around bathroom mirror; rain shower head; complementary water bottle. If you forego full housekeeping (Make a green choice), there's a minimal credit to use at participating food/bev places in the hotel or get SPG Starpoints - good incentive, Westin! Little perks like that are nice.
Its in a convenient location if you are in town for business. Restaurants are within walking distance. The airport is a short drive. Staff didn't seem to care much about anything. The room didn't feel very clean. The money for the value is lacking.
The staff was awesome and definitely took care of us! The location is great, right at fountain square within easy walking distance of many places. The valet parking charge was kind of high at $30
It is joined by other shops and free to the public. Dangerous entry late at night. Witness homeless people cursing guests out as they waited for the casino shuttle that partners with Westin Hotel and degrading females. Deserves more security by the door in that area.
Comfortable, easy Very loud people on our floor slamming doors late. Security did come and address the problem quickly
Rooms were clean and it was close to a lot of things... Halls were a bit drab, music from the square was loud -it didn't bother us but older people may not like it. Probably should make sure guests are aware. Paying what we did ... Wifi should be free!!!
I liked the fact that it was downtown. No breakfast, No wi-if, no parking, AC was turned down to 66 in the room and it was still warm. Pool closed at 10PM... Paids $230 for one night for something that shouldn't have cost over $100 a night. All in all it was just VERY overpriced for what you get.
Hotel was clean and very centrally located!
Location! The staff! All wonderful! The rooms are tiny. Nice, but tiny. Make sure you really like the person you go with! :)
The historic building was beautiful. The location and view were also excellent. The hot tub in the gym was barely warm.
Hotel and staff were great overall Valet was professional about their mistake Valet lost keys to my car, had to locate employee from previous night stay and deliver car to my house
Front desk and other staff very kind and helpful . We really liked the hotel, very nice and comfy! Elegant too. Valet staff was no help at all. We didn't know what to do and they thought we should it seemed like. We assumed, as is the case at other hotels, they would take our car. We went inside to find out we had to drive all over the place to self park. That's not what we wanted. I don't know how the mix up happened but it wasn't pleasant. It was probably the concierge was the problem not the actual valet staff.
It was close to our final place. The room was very small.
Beautiful hotel. Excellent location
Liked room but not view.... everyone is overly friendly View. Room service should be described better, that cheese plate was disgusting. Some of people were very pretigious
The Art Deco style, the live jazz combo in the bar; helpful & friendly staff, great location in the city! A little noisy inside the rooms (street noise)
We loved the bar and restaurant. The food was excellent and the service extraordinary. The staff were uniformly courteous and friendly. Grand old hotel. Set the thermostat lower in our room on the 28th floor, but the temperature was unchanged 14 hours later.
The location is ideal for downtown events. At 10 at night the lobby was loud and filled with smokey-smelling, loitering, loud people that had just come from Cincy Beerfest. I had reserved (a month in advance) AND confirmed (the day before) a king room with my wife on the night before valentines day, but they said they "only have doubles left", so obviously reservations mean nothing to them. After that major disappointment (especially for the high rate) we found the beds didn't even have fitted sheets, and the duvets used two sheets rather than covers, so both them and the mattresses were exposed. The beds were hard as rocks, luke warm water is the best you'll get, and we couldn't get out there fast enough. I'm sure they treat you right if you're a member, but I would never want to go there enough to become one. Never using Hyatt again. There are better downtown Cincy alternatives.
Restaurant doesn't have many options for food would like to see more variety
The sheets were very scratchy.
Location! No free parking or breakfast, extremely small bathroom.
I enjoyed the proximity to downtown and the actual worked well When we arrived we were informed that they only had a room with 2 twin gets even though I goofed this room two months I advance. I also completed an early check in on line further requesting a queen bed and a roll away. We arrived and not only got stuck with twin beds but no rollaway, our keys were notable to be made and we would have to move to another roomwith 2 twin beds on our third night bebecause the room we were in was booked for someone else. When we were escorted by a silent hotel employee to the room as we had no keys we arrived to a room with no toilet paper and a broken phone. Over priced
Everything, had my room ready as soon as I got there,room was beautiful and very comfortable,would definitely come back. There was nothing not to like..... Instead of the weather ,it's freakin cold in Cincinnati in January
Friendliness of staff
Didn't like that there was no notice that river view was extra until getting to hotel. Was not stated in cost when purchasing.
Overall look of the hotel was nice and makes you feel at home. The staff was helpful and upgraded my room when they were not able to find my reservation. The rooms are nice and my view was awesome. Having a hard time checking in due to the hotel failing to enter my reservation.
Loved theroom, comfort and the bathroom. Also enjoyed lobby bar.
Location was perfect. Right inside of everything. Valet is great! The bed felt cheap and hard. Did not get any good sleep at all and you would think after driving 10 hours in the road that day it would be easy to sleep, but the bed was old as well as all of the furniture around.
Location and very friendly staff. Rooms were kind of small. Window to look out was very small.
The hotel is located in the heart of downtown Cincinnati and there was plenty of entertainment and restaurants located nearby. The room was clean and the staff was very friendly. The hotel ultimately served its purpose as a place to sleep for the night. The furniture was a bit dated and the layout of the room lacked any real appeal. The pictures online and the four star rating seemed to be a bit exagerated. I would rate the hotel three stars overall.
Staff was great!
Staff very friendly and accommodating. Room was very clean and the bed was so very comfortable! Will definitely recommend to friends and family! Looking forward to revisiting the next time we are in the area. .
Only the location Staff and front desk not profession. Make us wait so long and then can find room for us even we made reservation ahead! Scary inside as well! Not worth is pay this price
The Location is prime. Perfect for downtown Cincinnati. The staff was nice and quick about check-in and check-out. The bathroom was awesome. It was big and remodeled with a giant tub. The bedroom itself was not impressive. I expected a historic feel, but just got more of an old and musty feel instead. The comforter wasn't clean (had to brush it off before we could lay on it), and the room itself just didn't seem clean. There was also a sunlight which would have been fine, but when you looked up it was covered in dust and dirt.
I am rating The Hampton Inn. Really nice hotel. The Hampton Inn was a really nice hotel but it wasn't the hotel I reserved. I was looking forward to stay in The Cincinnatian because of the historic background and wasn't expecting at all not to be nofied in advance about their problem with hot water. We could have rescheduled our trip. They relocated us and it was a nice place (can't complain about it) but a modern hotel was not what we wanted.
The building, facilities, & staff were all very nice. Very minor things, but our bathroom TV remote battery was dead. Also a notice before arriving at the hotel that the water pump system was going to be being worked on & we would have no water from midnight until around 6 a.m would have been appreciated.
The hotel was beautiful and comfortable and the location terrific. Very centralized location--easy to walk to area sites and restaurants. The wifi internet was extremely spotty and rarely worked which was disappointing and made working remotely difficult.
Art everywhere, bizarre delights sprinkled throughout. Great restaurant and right around the corner from Contemporary Arts Center. Wonderfully colorful staff.
Love 21C. They always have the best people.
Loved the fresh take on a hotel. The art was a fun experience, though I'd prefer some variety as it was all pop art. The decor was modern but still warm and fun. The hotel restaurant was fantastic. Several great upscale bars and restaurants steps away. The location left something to be desired if you want anything beyond great evening eateries or the theatre. No breakfast places around or any shopping minus Tiffanys or Macy's. It felt odd that difference sides of the sand city block can vary between lux and sketchy.
Employees were pleasant and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We had to valet the car but that was because we were not sure about driving around downtown Cincinnati. The waffles at breakfast were tough.
Liked the room and bed. The staff was extremely helpful, they made the stay quite enjoyable as we were not familiar with the area. Breakfast was good with a friendly staff, again. Good location, within walking distance to quite a few venues. The view was of some rooftops, not the best but you are in the city. The shower was bad as the water got all over the floor when you opened door to step out. Water collected on the door edge and soaked the floor. The air temperature was hard to control with the thermostat. The light switches were confusing. I am all for saving water by not washing towels but how about a place to hang the towels, that would be helpful.
Great location. Newly renovated. Clean Cost to valet
Booked night for a reds game was within walking distance from the park and everything you need was right there awesome time
Great hotel and was very clean. When i booked the room it said two queen or one king. So when we arrived i was informed that they had no king beds available. This needs to be a selection so you know what you are getting when you book a room.
Cool building with brand new rooms. Modern lobby and design throughout hotel. Still in a 'soft' opening, so there are some things that need to be worked on. Shower drained back into the bathroom and elevators had filthy overhead lights.
Rooms were spacious, well-appointed & had comfortable beds. Check-In staff was courteous & helpful. We were traveling as a group of couples. We were told that their lounge/bar would be open until Midnight on Saturday. At 10:15 they were already "shut down". When we approached the staff about it, the bar tender was rude & the other staff offered suggestions of other bars outside of the hotel. We wanted a night cap in our hotel, which we were unable to get. They need to get their services/staffing issues worked out - or don't include all amenities at this time.
This hotel (and the Hampton Inn beside it) iis an incredibly creative use of.the Cincinnati Inquirer historical building, offering upscale accommodations at an affordable price im downtown.Cincinnati near the Reds ballpark and other venues Noise from the sliding glass bathroom door, alhough aesthetically pleasing and space-saving, are acoustically impractical, in my estimation.
Friendly front desk staff and very well located. My wife and I could walk everywhere. Great price for the location. Large room with Balcony Toilet was not working properly so we asked to have it fixed twice. I ended up fixing it. Most recently updated room was still out of date. Bed was not very comfortable. Elevators also out of date.
The hotel was in a convenient locationand the check in was fine, but the room was disgusting. It smelled,the place was filthy with stuff smeared on the wallsand the tv's did not work. Place was awful.
I liked the location. Everything was within walking distance which made it very easy to get around. I also enjoyed the size of the rooms; they were a good size. When we arrived (approximately 4 o' clock), we were unable to check in because they did not have any single room ready with clean bedsheets. The lobby was full off people that has been waiting since the early morning. Staff had no idea what was going on and provided little to no help. Once we got our rooms, the keys would not work. The cafe food was forgettable and the decor in the rooms seemed to not have progressed after the 90's. I paid for valet in advance, but the valet guy made us park our own car AND then had to pay for parking. Worst hotel experience I have ever had. Definitely not staying there again.
There was a full kitchen, living space and bathroom. All the amenities that one needs to be comfortable. And iron mans ironing board, coffee maker, television with cable, a doorbell. It was like a small condo. I would absolutely stay here again for an extended stay. There was also a 12 pm check out. That's always nice. The furniture and decor was a bit dated. And housekeeping came by too early.
The staff was very nice and helpful and for the price it was nice There renovating so there wasn't a restaurant and its very outdated throughout as of now so hopefully the renovations are more than just the restaurant
Good location to Paul Brown Stadium and Great American Ballpark The staff was rude and the room was disgusting. Basically as soon as we walked in we were disgusted. There were cobwebs all over the room, the room smelled as if it hadn't been cleaned in quite some time. There was dirt all over the kitchen and the stove was still greasy from the previous occupant. Living area was aweful. The bathroom looked as if it hasnt been cleaned in a while as there was hair in the sonk and tub and toilet was insanely dirty. I would not sugest anyone stay in this hotel.
I like I had a kitchen with a full sized fridge, the balcony had a nice view I was scheduled for a 5 night stay. A relative sided and I had to checkout after the second night, but I was still charged for all 5 nights. In a situation like this I could not belive they refused to not charge me for the other 3 night. Bad customer service. I would never go back. Rooms wern't very clean either, and the oven in my kitchen didn't work.
We liked the location, the room was very spacious. The hotel was very dated.
Location to great american ballpark and downtown area. Very nice staff Old furnishings and carpet. Not very clean. Restaurant was closed. Challenging walk from hotel to parking garage
the parking price is good the person at the front desk was polite -rusty fixtures in the bathroom -bathroom mold -bed feels like hay and cardboard (yes it is that bad) -no comforter on bed -old layout like converted projects (public housing thin walls) -people up shouting all nigh off the balcony -drunk and unrulies in the hallway (wifi signal stronger in hallway than in rooms -if you have money to stay here use that money to go somewhere else -not enough towels -everything is old nothing changes since 1984 -cant use the kitchen as advertised (no use of stove top though the stove is there) -gave us one flat screen and two of those old tv's with the bubble in the back -never going back

Balenciaga Fall 2013
"It's a prologue," said Alexander Wang of his quietly respectful debut collection for Balenciaga. "It was about really going back to the house, to the archive, and the codes that were so true to Cristóbal Balenciaga—with dynamic new materials."
The white runway floor was fissured with black as though fractured by an earthquake, but there were no seismic shocks in this tightly edited presentation.
Instead, Wang managed to play with some signature house ideas, married to the austere, sculptural quality for which Cristóbal Balenciaga was celebrated in the late fifties and sixties—while never making the clothes look retro.
Skirts had a longer, narrow line, and pants were lean, too—often worn with short crop tops crafted to stand away from the body. There was some fascinating construction—especially in the deep tuck placed horizontally across the back and shoulders of stiffly tailored coats and bolero jackets, or the gentle blousing cowl in back that resolved itself in the front of an elegant, reed-slim evening dress, or a bodice's seams that curved toward the waist and became a peplum. (These pieces evoked the later work of the ever-inventive Geoffrey Beene, too.)
Accessories were subtle: a high evening pump with a single thong drawn provocatively through the toes and a discreet boxy purse almost camouflaged against the clothes. The figure-eight metal buckle on the riding boot was also used as closure or decoration on the garments, a modern way to revisit the bow when it cinched a waist or clasped a bra band closed.
Wang had wanted a "statuesque, monolithic feeling," and looked to reinterpret the idea of marble in a number of inventive ways, from the black velvet traceries on organza to the chunky teddy-bear shaved-fox intarsia. Skinny ribbed knits were painted with a gesso effect that covered the surface with an interesting craquelure effect; self-colored piping was embroidered onto a textile's surface like free-form scribbles, and silk was blistered to resemble a dish full of pearls—or caviar.
It was a thoughtful, pragmatic collection that carried the promise of an intriguing new direction for the house.

Project DescriptionPreviously the site of two parking lots, the Miami Beach redevelopment project includes the New World Center, an innovative facility for music education and performance; Miami Beach SoundScape, a public park and event space; and a 556-space parking deck. The center's east façade features a 7,000-square-foot projection wall that displays symphonic performances in the auditorium for audiences in the adjacent park.
Jury: "A small project with big impact, the building and its public park space … [are] an extremely vital and dynamic cultural space within the city. … The project makes good use of existing buildings and creates a strong connection back to the city."
Client: "Miami Beach is very much about using art to define itself and is very eager to establish cultural turf. … So the redevelopment of these two surface parking lots was focused on the long-term benefit to Miami Beach citizens and to the commerce of this community. Based on the early returns, we think we got it right." —Howard Herring, president and CEO, New World Symphony

Project Design
Imagine a classroom where . . .
A Year One student says, "I can't wait to see sloth bears at the zoo and show my brochure to the zookeeper. Maybe the sloth bear at the zoo is four times as big as me!"
A Year Five student asks, "I wonder if the tulips have bloomed in Alaska? I'll send a message to our e-pals to find out."
A high school student remarks, "The teleconference with the Gould Group will really boost the credibility of our research on waste reduction, maybe we could publish our report?"
A middle years teacher comments, "The organized chaos in my classroom has really paid off. My students have shown a deep understanding of ecosystems and created a newsletter on things everyone can do to protect our native species and habitats. They can't wait to see their work displayed at the Community Center."
With assessment and standards/syllabus outcomes at the forefront of learning, teachers use project approaches to engage students in authentic work and develop 21st- century skills of collaboration, problem solving and critical thinking. When well-designed, project-based curriculum can yield high quality results for students and a rewarding experience for teachers.
Project-Based Learning Defined
Project-based learning is a student-centered, instructional model. It develops content area knowledge and skills through an extended task that promotes student inquiry and authentic demonstrations of learning in products and performances. Project-based curriculum is driven by important Curriculum-Framing Questions that tie standards/syllabus outcomes and higher-order thinking to real-world contexts.
Project-based units include varied instructional strategies to engage all students regardless of their learning style. Often students collaborate with outside experts and community members to answer questions and gain deeper meaning of the content. Technology is used to support learning. Throughout project work multiple types of assessment are embedded to ensure that students produce high quality work.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
The two most important words when it comes to thrift store shopping are quality and quantity. Value Village is both. Those of you who are pros at this kind of shopping will fall to your knees and thank the thrift gods above that this store exists. Rookies at fossicking have no fear: It's well organized (a special category exists for "Ladies Better Dresses"), and racks of ridiculously cheap clothing go on forever. But it's not only the abundance of old athletic T-shirts or the peculiar overflow of men's work coveralls that make this a mecca of thrifting. This store is stocked with trinkets and treasures that you probably could purchase with the change in your pockets. Perhaps it's an ashtray made of orange glass that reflects the light just so. Or maybe it's the airbrushed portrait of a magical unicorn affixed to a piece of fake oak. Sure, some might call it junk, but those are the same people who think it's perfectly normal to spend $100 for a pair of khaki pants at Banana Republic.
"The world was silent except for the shrill cry of insects, which was part of the night, and the sound of wooden mortar and pestle as Nwayieke pounded her foo-foo," writes Chinua Achebe in his 1959 novel Things Fall Apart. He is describing a scene as basic to traditional Nigerian life as the beat of the udu drum -- the pounding of yams into the glutinous mass known as foo-foo or fufu. African Variety Food Store offers big beautiful yams for those with time and energy to pound. For others, this purveyor of West African goods sells a powdered form of yam (as well as cassava and plantain) that can be whipped up in minutes into a delicious mound of fufu for dipping in soups. The smell of dried fish pervades the establishment, which is tucked amid Chinese businesses in a sprawling strip mall. In addition to the desiccated cod, shrimp and bony bonga fish, one can find cans of palm oil, melon seeds, and a variety of herbs and vegetables that provide the city's thriving African population with tastes of home.
Got a pampered pooch with persistent problems? We heard about Pete Stewart's Good Manners Dog Obedience School through a friend who owns three huskies. Figuring someone with a pack of dogs oughta know, we checked it out for ourselves. Like most "parents," we were a little apprehensive about dropping our little one off for two weeks, but our fears were unwarranted. We watched as Pete, armed with a collar, leash and a handful of treats, took his 47 years of experience training dogs and matched it up against the powerful will of three-month-old Molly. She was sitting, staying, heeling and lying down with nothing more than the gentle command of Pete's voice in just about two shakes of a dog's tail.
A scratchy tape of "The Wedding March" blasts from a boom box in a room in Kipperman's Pawn Shop, the walls of which are painted pink and gold with a mural of flowers splashed across one wall in hues of Mercurochrome and MD 20-20. Owner Ted Kipperman, dressed in red vestments, has pronounced another couple man and wife. The wedding service, for which Kipperman provides a free Polaroid memento, also comes free if the couple buys their wedding rings (or a gun) at the pawnshop. During the mid-'80s oil bust, people were pawning everything, but they just weren't buying. Kipperman, who likes to stay on top of the times, came up with the idea, in part because rings and guns are the most expensive items in a pawnshop. He obtained a minister's license, and he has married scores of couples since he started. A few years ago the idea man took convenience to the next level, converting a guard shack at the shop into a drive-thru wedding chapel. Couples can use their own cars, or they can rent a limo from one of Kipperman's fleet of three. Roll down the window, say "I do" and roll down the road, either admiring your shiny new ring or packing your new piece. Kipperman likes to give people choices.
Like connoisseurs of fine wine, vintage shoppers have their high standards. While those in search of the perfect merlot might sniff the cork, hold the glass up to the light and sip with discernment, vintage clothing shoppers must know: Are there any noticeable stains? Does the zipper work? Do polyester pants make my ass look huge? Fans of these queries, take heart: The Way We Wore is the store for you. Friendly owner Pam Nunnally will be glad to help you find just the right smoking jacket, or honestly tell you if those '70s-style heart-shaped purple sunglasses make your head look freakishly large. The store (an old house in Montrose) is well organized, the clothes are in good shape, and the tremendous selection of '40s swing dresses, ruffled tuxedo shirts and '70s disco gowns seems to go on and on. And if you're looking for an outfit for a special onetime affair, you can rent instead of buying. Yes indeed, if The Way We Wore were a bottle of wine, it would be a $300 bottle of some fine chardonnay. Except when you leave this store, you'll be drunk with happiness and looking really sharp.
A few weeks back we heard a woman walk into the bakery and say she was new to the neighborhood and needed to find a good place to order a cake for her mother's upcoming birthday celebration. If there were such a thing as the dessert jackpot, this woman had hit it. She asked a few of the people in line about the bakery's reputation. One person gestured to some of the letters on the wall -- letters from a former governor and president, as well as one from a former governor-turned-president. Another person told her to walk into the dining area (Acadian Bakers also serves lunch) and take a look at the pictures on the wall. There are photographs of cakes in all kinds of shapes and sizes and colors, a sign that the bakers of Acadian are up for any decorative challenge. More than mere bakers, they are cake designers. So what can you get ready-to-go should your sweet tooth cry out for immediate satisfaction? Go for a lemon bar, but only if you're a lemon lover. If chocolate's your thing, try the brownie chocolate mousse cake. Those are the favorites of the woman behind the counter, and she should know.

Staten Island gives Yanks future depth
Baby Bombers have plenty of talent on both sides of the ball
By Ashley Marshall / MiLB.com | November 1, 2011 6:00 AM ET
This season, they did just that.
#ques_include {width:230px;float:right;margin-left:5px;} #ques_content {border-top:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-right:1px solid #000000;padding-left:5px;} .ques_schedule {margin-top:5px;font-size:11px;} .ques_dates {font-size:11px;font-style:italic;color:#999;}
Vancouver Canadians
Despite struggling to the finish line in the regular season, the Vancouver Canadians managed to finish 39-37 and claimed the final spot in the Northwest League playoffs. They defeated Eugene, the team with the league's best overall record, in the opening round and advanced to the finals for the first time since 2005. There, Vancouver took inspiration from its underdog status and defeated Tri-City to claim the first championship in the franchise's 12-year history.
"I think the biggest thing with the young kids here is that there's a culture," said Staten Island manager Tom Slater. "What's expected is that they're going to work hard and do things the right way. It's at the forefront of everything we do. It really gets instilled with the young guys from the start.
"The credit goes to the players always. We have good players that want to work hard. It's a lot of fun to be around them."
The Yankees got off to a hot start and they rode it tape-to-tape to seal a postseason berth. They won 13 straight games between June 20 and July 3 en route to compiling an 18-3 record at the season's start, and they went 45-28 to win the McNamara Division title by a half game over rival Brooklyn. They didn't stop there.
They defeated the surging Cyclones -- winners of six straight to end the regular season -- in the playoff semifinals, and they swept the Auburn Doubledays in the best-of-3 Championship Series.
Slater, who managed of the Gulf Coast Yankees in 2010 in his second season within the organization, put the success down to a combination of fundamental hitting and excellent pitching.
"We had good players and certainly you have to start with that," he said. "Mason Williams, Cito Culver, Angelo Gumbs, Reymond Nunez are a really nice group of position players and our pitching throughout the season was really solid. Our bullpen was outstanding with [Branden] Pinder as our closer, and Matt Tracy was good as a starter and out of the bullpen throughout the year, and he had some really good starts in the playoffs."
Offensively, the 20-year-old outfielder Williams provided the spark in the Yankees' lineup, but powerful first baseman Zach Wilson and 19-year-old shortstop Culver certainly helped with the workload.
Williams, a Florida native, shared the league lead with 28 stolen bases, and he ranked second with a .349 average and six triples. Wilson, an Arizona State product, led the Yankees with 10 homers -- the only Baby Bombers hitter to go deep more than three times -- and the switch-hitting Culver drove home a team-best 33 runs and drew 30 walks.
On the mound, Will Oliver posted a 5-2 record with a 3.42 ERA in 14 starts, Fred Lewis and Vidal Nuno each went 5-0 out of the bullpen and Pinder recorded 14 saves while holding hitters to a stingy .152 batting average, the lowest mark among all NYPL hurlers.
Slater, who previously coached the Auburn Tigers for four years and his alma mater Virginia Military Institute for three, praised his team's maturity.
"When you look at some of the young guys, they're one year removed from high school," he said. "For them to go up to what is predominantly a college-age league and do as well as they did, it shows that they're extremely talented young players. It's fun to watch those guys. They're all athletic and young and exciting players and I think every one of them has a bright future.
When it got to the playoffs, Tyler Austin hit .429 with four RBIs and two runs in five games, and Williams added seven hits, four runs and three stolen bases. Pinder pitched in four of the five postseason games and did not allow a run over five innings, and Oliver came up huge when it mattered most, turning in six two-hit innings while striking out 10 batters to help clinch a spot in the final.
"Our scouting department did a great job. When you're talking about Culver, Williams, Austin, [Benjamin] Gamel, Gumbs, they're all draft picks from the 2010 Draft out of high school; Culver and Gumbs first and second round, Williams fourth round, Gamel in the 10th, Austin in the 13th, that's just a great job of recognizing high school kids with athleticism and upside.
"Then you look at this year's Draft and see some of the college arms. Pinder was like a 14th or 15th round pick and Matt Tracy was a 24th-round pick. Will Oliver from two years ago was a Draft pick somewhere in the 20s. It's not like every one of these kids was a first- or second-rounder."
The team's success did not surprise Slater, who praised the team he helped lead to a championship.
"I had a lot of these kids in the Gulf Coast League the year before and I was with a lot of them throughout extended spring training," he explained. "It was a very good group of young men. They like to work and they have a great desire to get better. I was happy for them, because they were the ones putting in the hard work every single day."
That attention to detail -- from the coaching staff hires and amateur scouting reports to breading a culture of success in the clubhouse -- all played a major part in helping the Yankees celebrate a title in September.
Considering the talent moving through the system, there's every chance members of this team will be playing like champions for many more years to come.

I love chicken soup and I may be a bit bold to say this, but I think my chicken soup is very good. I have been tweaking this recipe for about twenty years and I think I have just right. This is not a clear broth soup; it is a rich broth. My husband says, "This broth is rich enough to be a hedge fund." Forgive me, he has a one track mind because of his startup company.
I won my husband's heart with my soup and matza balls. I am going to be making a big pot for the seder next week. I always make the soup a day ahead so that the flavours will have time to develop.
I have to tell you that you should be very honoured that I am parting with my soup and family matza ball recipe :-). I hope you will make them with as much love as I do.
Chag Sameach everyone! Next Year in Jerusalem!
1 (1-1/2kg or #3 or 3lb) chicken
1-1/2kg (3lb) chicken wings or two turkey wings
1 large turkey neck cut into pieces
4 soup beef bones with meat on the bone (optional)
2 large yellow onions, peeled and cut in quarters
2 large leeks, cut into 1/2 inch (1cm) pieces
4 medium carrots, cut in to 1-inch (2.5cm) pieces
1/2 head of whole garlic gloves, peeled
2 sprigs of fresh thyme, rosemary and parsley
6 juniper berries
20 mixed peppercorns
Salt to taste
Olive oil
Put a generous amount of olive oil in a large soup pot and heat on medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion, leeks and garlic and sweat until softened. Add the carrots, juniper berries, peppercorns and fresh herbs. Then add the chicken wings, turkey necks and soup bones, and brown lightly, stirring constantly and being careful not to burn the onion, leeks and garlic. Finally, add the chicken and pour enough water to cover all the ingredients. Bring to a rolling boil and reduce the heat to a simmer, cooking for approximately 2-3 hours.
Remove the chicken, chicken wings, turkey neck and soup bones to a bowl. When cool enough to touch, pull the meat from the bones and discard the skin, bones, etc. Put in a container or ziploc bag and put in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Put the soup in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, skim off the fat, if desired, and reheat the soup, add the chicken and turkey meat back to the soup. How much is up to you and bring to a rolling boil to cook the matza balls (see below).
I always make the matza balls ahead of time and freeze them. Since my matza balls are a little different from most, I thought I would give you a step-by-step instruction in case you would like to try to make them.
This recipe has been handed down from generation to generation in my family. It is Westphalian and Alsatian. If you are afraid of using chicken fat, try half chicken fat and half olive oil.
14 matzos
2 medium white onions, chopped coarsely
3/4 cup melted chicken fat and/or goose fat
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons salt, you made want to add more
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
7 eggs, lightly beaten with a fork
1/8 cup matza meal
Additional matza meal for rolling
Break the matzas into chunks and put into a colander placed in sink. Run water over the colander until the matza is moist, but not water logged. Let the water drain and let stand for one to two minutes. (Can be put into plastic bag and kept overnight in the refrigerator.)
Brown the onions in melted fat in large heavy frying pan over medium heat until "real brown".
Add the matzas and stir gently frequently. Most of the moisture has to evaporate. If mixture sticks to bottom, put lid on the pan for a few minutes to soften. Add the salt, pepper, parsley and nutmeg.
Cool until no more steam comes off the mixture because it must be cool enough so the eggs won't cook.
Add the eggs and gently stir in the matza meal.
Test the first matza ball by placing it in boiling water. Test that it maintains it shape and taste to check if more salt, pepper and nutmeg should be added.
Place a thick layer of matza meal on foil-lined cookie sheet. Use spoons or scoop to make balls, rolling very carefully into the size of a large walnut, using as little pressure as possible. Place on cookie sheet and roll in meal. If you prefer, wet your hands and roll in palm, but this requires scraping off hands and re-wetting frequently. Discard the excess matza meal. Leave on the cookie sheet in the refrigerator, covered with wax paper, or freeze on the sheet before packing in bags for freezer. They can be kept in the freezer for 3 months.
Bring chicken soup to a boil and add Matzo Balls (after they have been brought to room temperature) a few at a time. When they rise to the top, put the lid on the soup for 5 minutes. Serve and say AAHHHH loudly with each bite.

CORONA DEL MAR, Bill Cool: Dan Walters' column, "California's two-tier economy" [California focus, Nov. 20], reveals the increasing number of poor people in the once Golden State. No one will argue the validity of the Census Bureau poverty report, but it is interesting that Walters didn't mention the obvious reasons for the ever-increasing number of poor: California is more generous than most states in providing benefits. If and when it becomes necessary to apply for welfare, what state would you move to? Since our state is more charitable in terms of the amount of money given to needy families it becomes the poor person's place of choice. We now have approximately 12 percent of the nation's population and 32 percent of its welfare recipients.
Additional statistics explain another reason for the growing number of poor. The Center for Immigration Studies reports: "Between 1970 and 2008 California's immigrant population tripled (both legal and illegal) from 9 percent to 27 percent." The majority of immigrants are poor, which is why 53 percent are on the welfare rolls.
As long as the federal government allows in more than a million legal immigrants a year and encourages illegal immigrant workers with the possible granting of amnesty, California will have a growing number of poor. In short, the federal government is just as much at fault for the number of poor as is the state government.
Curtail that junk mail
MISSION VIEJO, Allan Pilger: The real problem with the postal service's $15.9 million yearly deficit ["Post office's own fiscal cliff," Editorial, Nov. 19] is not dwindling first-class mail. These pieces suffocate in your mailbox crammed with junk commercial mail. Either the postal service is handcuffed by federal rate controls or it is so dominated by unions that it keeps third-class rates low enough to ensure heavy mail volume to keep from laying off more of its 574,000 workers.
Either way, unsolicited junk mail is not pulling its own weight in view of the deficit. With privatization, as proposed by the Register, mass-mailing commercial rates would rise to meet delivery expenses and junk mail would disappear. First-class mail, circulars and publications you want would greet you in an uncluttered mailbox.
Also, junk mail would no longer clutter landfills and in a free market any unused product is a waste of resources and does not contribute to economic development.
Swat team in action
FULLERTON, Scott Irwin: Letter-writer Diane Fallon should educate herself on the real problems surrounding counterfeit goods ["Swat team is the fashion," Nov. 20]. The little old lady in suburban America selling counterfeit merchandise is only the tip of the iceberg. Organized crime is heavily involved in the transportation and selling of counterfeit goods all over the world. It is much like those in the illegal drug activity who will do anything to protect their business, including violence.
When law enforcement members go into a location where counterfeit goods are involved, they have no idea what they will encounter – that little old lady you refer to or people with a large stash of counterfeit goods who will do almost anything to protect their investment.
How could the Swat team know the occupants of a location or what those present will do to avoid law enforcement? The team must be prepared for the worst to limit injury and possibly death to the officers and the occupants.
Military costs of freedom
YORBA LINDA, Dennis Walker: I am not sure who the "we" is when letter-writer James Barnes says, "now we are led to believe that we must maintain a hugely expensive military to keep our economy healthy" ["Military within budget," Letters, Nov. 16].
Successive presidents and congresses have seen fit to arm this country to fight off an assortment of despots bent on enslaving others. The primary weapon used by these despots is force. Thankfully, this country has stood up for the freedom-loving people of this world time and again.
By doing so, this country and dozens of others around the world have had a chance to enjoy not only freedom from tyranny but the freedom to grow economically.
"We," both Democrats and Republicans, have always understood this. When this country fails to understand the importance of a strong military, it is not just "we" who will suffer. If the world cannot look to the U.S. to stand up for freedom, who will they look to?
Tax-code equality
GARDENA, Joseph B. D. Saraceno: Heterosexual marriages were given federal and state tax-code dependency status for the purpose of promoting and protecting families ["The gay marriage campaign," Focus/Society, Nov. 19].
Gay marriages (for the most part) do not pro-create. By giving them these benefits you would take tax revenue away from a system that was made to support family and benefits, like schools, libraries parks and so on. So if you want gays to have the legal right to marry, fine, but they should not enjoy the dependency status given in the tax code since that would be discriminatory toward heterosexual marriages. Either that or we should eliminate the dependency tax code all together.
Furthermore, most of our laws are based on natural law. So it's not a question of equality but anarchy.
Democrats own budget
TUSTIN, Bob Machado: The election has consequences. Here in California Democrats now have control of the Legislature and with the passage of Prop. 30, voters have been willing to raise taxes to help education and the budget crisis. Many voters believed that the only raise needed to solve the budget crisis in California was a combination of tax increases and spending cuts.
Well, now we have the tax increases. It is now the task of the Democrats in charge to provide the needed spending cuts, outside of education, that is needed to balance the budget. If the Democrats fail to provide leadership through spending cuts to balance the budget, Democrat control in the Legislature will be short lived.
Charter study is due
COSTA MESA, James H. Bridges: It appears that the first order of post-election business for the Costa Mesa City Council would be to create a city-charter desirability study session. If the suggestion comes to move forward, perhaps this decision may comprise a group-proposal-preparation approach with cosmopolitan representation from area residents, business, city employees, etc., either through election and/or appointment.
Two years could be allowed to properly prepare such an important governing document (as opposed to what has been offered in the past). No charter will please everyone.
I believe that Costa Mesa now has an opportunity to leverage a collaborative effort, as opposed to treading water and perpetually struggling to recover from the previously questionable government decisions on the charter.

I've always wondered how it is that certain preachers come up with their sermon topics. Many, of course, follow a church calendar. Can you imagine a preacher giving a sermon on tithing on Easter Sunday? Nah. Neither can I. But Preacher Kely has come up with a pretty good list of sermons topics that nobody [Read More…]

Brevard, N.C.- Brevard College assistant coach Holli Flippo's playing career with the Tornados ended last March, but the former BC standout has found a way to continuing her playing career outside of Boshamer Gymnasium.
Flippo is a member of the semi-professional Lady Panthers women's basketball team of Asheville, an organization whose goal is to "use basketball as a teaching tool to elevate the minds of people in a positive way, no matter what age, and most importantly to promote healthy lifestyles, especially in females. Our goal as a team is to be role-models in Asheville and the surrounding areas, to younger generations so that they may keep their focus and dreams alive."
"This is an exciting opportunity for Holli as she is able to continue playing basketball beyond her collegiate experience," BC head coach Shannon Reid said. "I hope this continues to open doors for women's basketball players who want to compete at a high level within their own country and community. I'm proud to see her still representing Brevard College and our women's basketball program in a positive way."
This weekend the Lady Panthers will combine with the South Carolina Storm to play in an invitational tournament in Norfolk, Viriginia.
The two teams, known together as Hoop Phi, will form to take on the USS Bataan Lady Gators three times over the weekend on the grounds of the Norfolk Naval Base.
The team will receive a tour of Naval Station Norfolk, as the base is also known, as well as the USS Bataan and downtown Norfolk as part of the experience.
"This is an amazing experience, and I am excited I got the opportunity to continue to play the game I love," Flippo said.

Food Fun Friday: Vegan Doughnut Takeover
A couple of years ago, coming to Portland meant picking up a vegan doughnut—from Voodoo, Acme, or Sweetpea, if you were lucky. But as we travel around, it's clear that vegan doughnuts are making their way all over this crazy little country of ours.
On our trip to Chicago, we picked up these Fritz square doughnuts at New Wave Cafe in Logan Square. I love that you get to keep the hole!
In Seattle, of course, you've got Mighty-O. In San Francisco, there's Pepple's Organic Donuts. As often as I go to Las Vegas, I can never seem to get over to Ronald's. Someday.
Over on the East Coast, New York folk have Babycakes and Dun-Well, and there's Cinnamon Snail over in Jersey.
The Midwest is not left out of the game. Missouri has Brody's Bakery. Michigan's got Happy Mouth Vegan Treats. And the Donut Whole in Kansas has vegan options!
I know we didn't get 'em all. Do you have vegan doughnuts (or donuts) in your city? Let us know in the comments!
2 thoughts on "Food Fun Friday: Vegan Doughnut Takeover"
My (aka Cinnamon's) vegan + gluten-free donuts are now being sold at Food Fight, Portland's vegan grocery store!!
In Brooklyn there are the amazing vegan doughnuts made by DunWell Doughnuts (http://dunwelldoughnuts.com)

Pete Seeger: In His Own Words
|Availability: Out of Stock
Pete Seeger: In His Own Words
Pete Seeger,
Selected & Edited by Rob Rosenthal & Sam Rosenthal
Hardcover, June 2012, 300 pages
List Price: $29.95. Price: $14.95 (You Save 50%) *Clearance Sale!*
Long an icon of American musical and political life, Pete Seeger has written eloquently in books and for magazines, activist movements, and union newsletters. Although he has never written an autobiography, his life story is nowhere more personally chronicled than in the private writings, documents, and letters stored for decades in his family barn.
In Pete Seeger: In His Own Words, we hear directly from Seeger through the widest array of sources—letters, notes to himself, published articles, rough drafts, stories, and poetry—creating the most intimate picture yet available of Seeger as a musician, an activist, and a family man—in his own words and from his own perspective.
From letters to his mother written when he was a 13-year-old desiring his first banjo to speculations on the future, this book covers the passions, personalities, and experiences of a lifetime of struggle—the pre-WWII labor movement, the Communist Party, Woody Guthrie, the blacklist, the Civil Rights movement, Martin Luther King, the struggle against the war in Vietnam, Bob Dylan, travels around the world, cleaning up the Hudson River, Granny D, Fidel Castro, Bill Clinton, and countless uncelebrated activists with whom Seeger has worked and sung.
The portrait that emerges is not a saint, not a martyr, but a flesh-and-blood man, struggling to understand his gift, his time, and his place.
"Growing up with Pete's music, I dreamed of making music and being an active citizen of the world. Read this book—and give it to your kids to read." — Dar Williams

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. — Generic drug maker Par has inked a definitive agreement to acquire an India-based developer and manufacturer of generic drugs.
Par said it will acquire Edict Pharmaceuticals for up to $37.6 million in cash and Par's repayment of certain additional pre-close indebtedness. Par noted the acquisition is subject to customary conditions and approvals; the drug maker expects to complete the transaction by the end of the year.
Edict currently has seven abbreviated new drug applications filed with the Food and Drug Administration and one ANDA filed in the name of a development partner with an additional 14 products in development.
"This transaction enhances Par's already successful research and development infrastructure and demonstrates Par's intention to continue to build out our product development platform," Par president Paul Campanelli said. "Also, Edict's facility adds significant operational capacity and provides business continuity protection for our Spring Valley, N.Y., facility."

10 Trends to Steal from Fashion Week... Right Now
We've arrived in Paris, and we'll be sharing an edited look at the best of the best collections — everything you need to understand them, wear them, and get excited to buy them. Already, we've shown you our favorite pieces from Pitti Uomo and the best new clothes coming out of Milan. Stayed tuned here for the shows, and visit The Style Blog and the Twitter for even more backstage access.
As creator of one of last season's most defining collections, Dries Van Noten might have been content to follow through for summer with a similarly nostalgic collection for this season, too. Not a bit of it. From the outset, this was a collection that took bold strides in a new and much more contemporary direction. Immediately apparent were water-resistant sportswear pieces in navy that mixed cotton with bonded rubber overlays and seam taping on the outside. A largely subdued color palette mixed beige, navy, white and brown. On the tailoring side, zephyr-light jackets in silk took the school blazer stripe seen elsewhere and turned it on its head, or rather, on its side — for horizontally-banded silk pants or jackets. Throughout, Van Noten played with contrasts of shiny and matte, natural and synthetic, darks spiked with brights, the inference being that this is a transitional moment for him that needs innovation as much as it needs tradition. —Nick Sullivan

COLUMBUS -- The White Castle Original Slider was named Time magazine's most influential burger ever in a recent poll of hamburger historians.
The iconic fast food chain, which is family owned and has been in operation for more than 90 years, surpassed 16 other influential burgers on the list to take the No. 1 spot.
White Castle's original slider dates back to 1921, when it was first served at founder Billy Ingram's flagship restaurant in Wichita, KS. Today, White Castle serves more than 1.4 million sliders a day, which are made from 100% USDA-inspected beef.
Time interviewed burger historians and other experts to determine which burgers had the biggest effect on the industry. The article credited the slider for "pav[ing] the way for the great American burger obsession."
White Castle, headquartered in Columbus, OH, owns and operates more than 400 restaurants in 12 states. The legendary burger chain operates its own meat-processing plants and bakeries.
White Castle's loyalty program -- CraverNation -- connects like-minded Cravers from around the globe through social media.

One of the city's best DJ bars, Solas is still a good spot at which to kick off your night. Renowned for its sunny rooftop bar, the vibe at this Camden Quarter hotspot is brilliantly laid back. Music starts earlier than in many other bars courtesy of a roll call of resident DJs, and it often seems to lean towards the jazzy-funky side of things. It's a fun place, but its principal drawback is a tendency to get absurdly crowded at weekends.

Last week, Mitt Romney declared that if his new, one-page economic policy plan were implemented, the country would add "12 million new jobs by the end of [his] first term."
Now, usually politicians (Barack Obama included) get hammered for overstating how much the economy will improve under their watch. But by at least some forecasts, Mr. Romney's promises may actually be a little underambitious, in that his promised job growth is pretty close to what's already expected.
Romney claims that if he's elected, there will be 12 million new jobs over his term. The economy is predicted to gain 11.8 million jobs anyway

Detroit '67
Theater review by Raven Snook. Public Theater (see Off Broadway). By Dominique Morisseau. Dir. Kwame Kwei-Armah. With ensemble cast. 2hrs 15mins. One intermission.
Detroit's tragic 1967 riots scarred the city and the nation, and have been namechecked in many a song, movie and book. Now playwright Dominique Morisseau uses the five days of turmoil—which resulted in millions of dollars in damage, thousands of arrests and 43 deaths—as the backdrop for her period domestic drama about race and life aspirations.
African-American siblings Chelle (Michelle Wilson) and Lank (Francois Battiste) run an illegal after-hours club in their home. When they inherit money from their deceased parents, they have different ideas about how to spend it. Chelle wants to help her son finish up at Tuskegee University, while Lank wants to open a legit neighborhood bar with his pal Sly (Brandon J. Dirden). But Lank's chance meeting with an abused white woman named Caroline (Samantha Soule) sparks bitter battles between brother and sister, blacks and whites, and cops and civilians.
While the goings-on inside the claustrophobic basement are meant to mirror the tumult in the streets, instead of action, the audience gets anthropological debates. And while they're impassioned (and, whenever De'Adre Aziza is onstage, hilarious), they don't stir the soul. A big part of the problem is Kwame Kwei-Armah's direction: Scenes often end abruptly, and the acting styles are all over the place. Detroit '67 is part of an intriguing new partnership between the Public, Classical Theatre of Harlem and the National Black Theatre. Here's hoping future productions show more punch than promise.—Raven Snook
