Road Trip: Florida's Best Thrift Stores on I-95
Some head south for the sun; others, the shopping. Here's our guide to the best vintage stores in South Florida.
Whatever the hour, the party is always going strong at Miami's 55th Street Station, a complex of bars and boutiques carved from a strip of once-decaying warehouses. Nowhere is this more apparent than at Night Owl, a kitchen-sized vintage accessories shop, where customers swaying to the Station's resident DJ wander in from a courtyard bar to shop for leopard-print peep-toe pumps. "My busiest hours are around midnight," says the platinum-haired German proprietor, Paloma Soyka.
That comment might raise eyebrows elsewhere, but in South Florida, it's far from surprising. Historically, SoFlo's balmy climate has drawn second-homeowners looking to downsize. For that reason, thrift stores in the upscale communities have traditionally been havens for designer cast-offs. But lately, I'd heard that a new generation of international shopkeepers like Soyka have been livening up the otherwise stodgy scene, bringing new energy and inspiration into the mix. As a 15-year veteran of the fashion industry—I spent half that time as an editor for a shopping magazine—this retail renaissance sounded too good to be true.
The 70-mile stretch of I-95 between Palm Beach and Miami isn't your classic wind-in-the-hair drive; the asphalt is pancake flat, and it's billboards as far as the eye can see. But a road trip can be as much about how you get there as where you're going, so I plotted out a zigzaggy route that strung together some of the best vintage shopping in the U.S.
Day 1
Palm Beach
9 miles
Before getting started, I fueled up at Hamburger Heaven, a 65-year-old Palm Beach institution. Stacks of hand-painted coffee mugs set aside for regulars greeted me upon arrival—as did a chatty patron, who, between bites of a slice of foot-high chocolate cake, advised me to start my journey on the Dixie Highway, also called U.S. Route 1, which parallels I-95 to the east. It was a hotbed of bargains, she promised, and she was right.
Just south of the Palm Beach city limits, I spied World Thrift. Inside its barn-like exterior was an acres-wide mother lode of secondhand goods, organized by color. I scored a 1970s silk peasant dress—a riot of paisley and plaid—for only $7.
Down the road, on a quiet residential block, Glam! Vintage Palm Beach promised quite a lot with its name. The racks were carefully arranged according to decade by owner Kathryn Jacobson, a Rhode Island School of Design grad. It all felt like an incredibly cool stylist's closet, which, in some ways, it is: Jacobson regularly throws fashion shows at local see-and-be-seen spots, and her pieces have appeared on screens both big (the Sex and the City movies) and small (Ugly Betty).
That night, I spread out my finds in a Creamsicle-colored room at West Palm Beach's Hotel Biba, a mid-century lodge turned tropical-mod motel co-owned by Barbara Hulanicki, the founder of the legendary 1960s British fashion label Biba.
Days 2 & 3
Fort Lauderdale and Miami
101 miles
I woke early to Cuban pastries and OJ squeezed from locally grown oranges, served in the Biba's lizard-populated courtyard. I could certainly have lingered, but I was determined to make the most of the day. Heading south on I-95, familiar place names whizzed by: fancy Delray Beach and even fancier Boca Raton. Occasionally I'd spot the ocean to my left, beckoning, but I didn't allow myself to pause; I was too focused on my next stop, Fort Lauderdale's PreviewMod. I'd heard from some interior designer friends that the store was a stellar source for mid-century decor, so after an hour's drive,
I pulled off I-95 at Exit 31A for a visit. The minimalist, white stucco space was lined with chrome ball lamps, teak dining tables, and Lucite desks so enticing that I was overcome with an instant, undeniable urge to redesign my living room.
Even a retail devotee like me needs a break from the racks eventually, so before I got back on the highway, I cut a path across town to experience the wilder side of SoFlo. At Everglades Holiday Park, I signed up for a guided airboat ride and spent an exhilarating hour zipping across the marshland. I had hoped to spot gators and was in luck, although it's surprising how docile they seem when they're only lounging in the sun.
Back on the road, I trained my GPS toward Hialeah's Flamingo Plaza, a sprawling, thrift strip mall on the outskirts of Miami. "Just go," urged a stylist friend in an earlier e-mail. "You. Will. Lose. Your. Mind." She knew me too well: My pulse quickened the minute I set eyes on the city-block-long chain of stores. I was drawn immediately to the fluorescent-lit Red White & Blue Thrift Store. With its sheer volume of goods (25,000 garments at any given time) and insanely low prices (starting at 95¢!), it was the clear standout. Two hours later, I filled my trunk with cork-soled sandals, a cotton-candy-pink mohair cardigan, and a pair of star-print denim hot pants. That kind of shopping takes a lot out of you, and luckily, lunch wasn't too far off. About 10 miles south, at La Camaronera, a Cuban seafood spot in the heart of Little Havana, the pan con minuta, a delicious fried-snapper sandwich, perked me right back up.
Over the next day or so in Miami, my luck continued. I scored hand-painted buoys and a model clipper ship at the maritime-themed Stoneage Antiques and browsed rack after overflowing rack of $5-$20 retro party dresses at Angel's Vintage Boutique. I pulled up to my final stop, The Rabbit Hole, at around 7 p.m. Bangkok native and owner Tya Tiempetch stocks quirky, old-fashioned finds, like pearlized cat-eye sunglasses, felted fedoras, and frothy organza dresses. Inspired by the nighttime street vendors of her home country, Tiempetch sometimes keeps the place open until after midnight. "I like the idea of browsing after late-night food runs," she told me. In this part of Florida, you wouldn't expect it any other way.

No. 8 Baseball Puts Away Air Force Early, 10-2
BATON ROUGE -- No. 8 LSU (1-0) plated nine runs in the first two innings and utilized solid pitching by sophomore starter Kevin Gausman to defeat visiting Air Force (0-2), 10-2, on Opening Day at Alex Box Stadium.
Gausman (1-0) picked up where he left off at the end of last season and fired six innings of one-run baseball. The right-handed limited the Falcons to four hits with seven strikeouts, two walks and one run.
"Kevin has been sharper than he was tonight," said LSU coach Paul Mainieri, "and that's a tough thing to say when a guy gives up just one run with seven strikeouts. I thought he gave us an outstanding, competitive effort, and he can be even better the next time out."
Jackson Slaid drove in two on a first inning double and Austin Nola notched a double, a single and plated two. Ty Ross added two hits of his own and three Tigers crossed the plate twice.
LSU chased Air Force starter Ben Bertelson (0-1) in the second inning after the starter was only able to register three outs. Bertelson allowed eight earned on three hits, three walks, three hit batsman and struck out one.
"We didn't exactly knock the fences down at the plate," Mainieri said, "but I thought we were very opportunistic, especially early in the game. We took advantage of some situations and we were able to build a big lead. I thought once we got the eight-run lead, we might have relaxed a little bit and lost some of the edge."
Air Force kicked off the scoring on a first pitch home run to deep left-center by junior left fielder Garret Custons.
LSU responded in the bottom half of the inning by sending all nine batters to the plate and driving in five runs on only two hits. The Tigers loaded the bases after consecutive pitches hit Tyler Hanover and Casey Yocom and Raph Rhymes walked. Mason Katz was then hit by another pitch, which drove in Hanover.
Jackson Slaid delivered a RBI double that just dropped inside the right field line in front of the LSU bullpen. After JaCoby Jones struck out, Nola drove in Rhymes with a fielder's choice to the shortstop.
Ross stepped in and knocked a laser between shortstop and third to extend the lead to 5-1.
LSU's offense went back to work in the second, taking advantage of some walks and sending every batter to the plate for the second consecutive inning.
Yocum notched his first double and RBI as a Tiger and drove in Hanover after a leadoff walk.
A walk to Rhymes chased Bertelson, who yielded the mound to reliever Ben Yokley.
Yokley was able to retire Katz and Nola, but Jones pushed a single past an outstretched second baseman to plate Yocum and Rhymes. Jones moved to second on the throw, and was immediately driven in by Nola's single to center.
The offense went back to work in the bottom half of the fourth. Nola smacked a one-out double to deep center and moved to third on Ross' single to left. Jordy Snikeris' fielder choice brought Nola home, as Air Force was unable to turn the double play.
Air Force mustered its second run of the contest against freshman pitcher Aaron Nola. Custons reached second on a double to deep left center and Alex Bast drove him in on a single through the left side.
Nick Goody retired the three batters he faced to close out the ninth inning and preserve the win for LSU.

Alex Ferguson's fearful of paying Champions League price after Raul snub
MILEY CYRUS has been vindicated after insisting quotes attributed to her in a new magazine interview were "made up" - publication bosses have agreed the pop star is at the centre of a scam.
Cyrus was quoted as stating she's the new Beyonce in a LOVE article, but she took to Twitter.com on Thursday (02Jan14) to rubbish the piece, insisting she would be seeking justice.
And that came just hours later when magazine editors confirmed the 21 year old had been misquoted.
They tweeted, "@MileyCyrus never said anything to us about Beyonce, the quotes were made up and we're trying to get to the bottom of where this came from."
Miley, who retweeted the post, had previously taken to Twitter.com, and wrote, "That quote people MADE UP about Beyonce just made me lol (laugh out loud)! Imagine if I said I got 'the looks and the curves I'm just better!' Bahahahhaha (sic).
"How are people allowed to make up s**t & then put quotes around it saying I said that s**t! WTF (what the f**k)!!?! don't worry. getting 2 the bottom of this s**t. making the liar retract the statement. U can cause ALOT of drama but NOT between me & B!"

This is the view from the Congreve Hall Courtyard. Congreve Hall was built in 1920 with two wings added in 1938 and the other in 1940 but recently received a renovation in 2003. Congreve Hall is named in honor of Edith Angela Congreve.
The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

"It's a great story to tell," he says. "Candidly our competition, IBM and HP and Dell, I feel very comfortable with us continuing to beat them pretty well."

Chambers says one concern going forward is pricing, particularly in emerging markets.
"What I worry about most is the mix and a little bit aggressive pricing out of emerging countries in ugly markets where if you've got to win some strategic deals you're going to discounts pretty aggressively," he says.

Chambers said he believes Cisco will get back to mid single-digit revenue growth but that it will be bumpy and it might not be immediately sustainable. "We want you all to not get ahead of us on this," Chambers said. "We have some real heavy lifting to do."

Barbara R. Snyder: A Short Biography
Barbara R. Snyder became president of Case Western Reserve University on July 1, 2007. A legal scholar who began her academic career on this campus, she returned with a promise to work collaboratively with all constituencies to help the university realize more of its enormous potential.
In Snyder's first two years in office, Case Western Reserve eliminated a multi-million-dollar deficit three years ahead of schedule, set new fundraising records, and completed its first strategic plan in more than a decade. That plan, Forward Thinking, calls on the university to build on existing strengths through interdisciplinary partnerships. It also urges development of a community culture that nurtures the inherent possibility of all of its members—one that is welcoming, inclusive, and committed to transparency and integrity.
As part of initiatives related to the strategic plan, President Snyder in 2008 appointed the university's inaugural Vice President for Inclusion, Diversity and Equal Opportunity, Marilyn S. Mobley, Ph.D. She also led the overhaul of the university's Conflict of Interest policy, along with the revision and web publication of its business policies.
Snyder assumed the Case Western Reserve presidency after serving as Executive Vice President and Provost of The Ohio State University. Over a four-year period (the first year as interim provost), Snyder took steps to raise OSU's academic stature and improve the quality of life for members of its community. Her initiatives included the Targeted Investments in Education program, which devoted $50 million to support 10 innovative proposals in high-impact areas. Awards ranged from less than $500,000 to more than $11 million, and touched on programs involving Climate, Water and Carbon, Mathematical Biosciences and Music, Media and Enterprise. She championed improved benefits for graduate students, and paid parental leave for faculty, staff and graduate students.
Prior to becoming provost, Snyder served as Vice Provost for Academic Policy and Human Resources and spent seven months as the university's Interim Vice President for University Relations. Her service at Ohio State included serving on the University Promotion and Tenure Committee, chairing the university Athletic Council, and twice serving on the NCAA Certification Committee.
As a professor at OSU's Moritz College of Law, she also served as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and as Director of the Center for Socio-Legal Studies. In 1997, the school's third-year students voted to give Snyder the College of Law Outstanding Professor Award. She held the Joanne W. Murphy / Classes of 1965 and 1973 Professorship.
Snyder joined OSU's Moritz College of Law in 1988, after spending five years as a professor at Case Western Reserve's School of Law. She joined CWRU after serving as an associate at the Sidley & Austin law firm in Chicago. She graduated from the University of Chicago Law School, where she served as executive editor of its law review, and earned her bachelor's degree from Ohio State.
Her husband is Michael J. Snyder, who earned his Master's in Business Administration from the Weatherhead School of Management. They have three adult children.

Short Story written by: Tony DeVito
Olivia Paige quietly closed the door of Ted's apartment behind her as she exited. "Oh well, one more notch on my lipstick case." She removed her gloves, started her car and drove home quietly reflecting on her life.
"One good man. Is that too much to ask?" For thirty-five years she's dreamed of one thing - love. True love, not one night stands. But finding a good man was like unraveling Gordian's knot.
All too often she poured her heart into a relationship only to find her new lover was unworthy. It's not that she wanted things to end this way, she just had to set it right. After all, how much can a woman be expected to take?
She had given Ted every opportunity to prove himself. Olivia was so disappointed when she watched Ted return home late tonight with some obvious floozy. No, Ted was not going to be the man of her dreams, or anybody else's. It was really bad luck for Miss Floozy that she happened to come home with Ted tonight. A few short hours ago Ted had told Olivia he wasn't feeling well and couldn't join her for dinner.
Olivia paused at a traffic light while a police cruiser passed in front of her. She thought it odd that his presence didn't bother her in the least. She should feel some remorse, but they deserved it. Shortly that police officer would have his hands full in investigation. She would be sleeping well at home by then.
As her light turned green and she rolled forward, her mind wandered to other men she had known. Robert seemed like a prince, until he tried to dump her. And Steven had said all the right things. What a player he turned out to be. After their first love-making session he avoided her. But she found him. He won't play anybody again.
Upon arriving home Olivia washed her hands and face and prepared for bed. She locked her revolver back into it's red velvet lined box, wondering if and when she might need it again. Handling a weapon turned out to be one of the best skills her father ever taught her.
The light went out and Olivia's head hit the pillow, alone again. She fought back the urge to cry. No, she was a tough lady. Like Scarlet O'Hara, tomorrow would be another day. Olivia would not give up trying. "There must be someone out there. But who?"
Olivia was drifting off to sleep when the thought occurred to her. "Andy, in accounting. The new guy." She was certain he had smiled at her last week. Maybe she needed to make a trip to accounting tomorrow and check things out. She knew just what she'd wear. Her black skirt with the high sling back pumps. The same outfit that got Ted's interest. Oh yeah, this would work out fine. She smiled and closed her eyes, dropping peacefully off to sleep.

At Work: Baby boomer jumping to another job out of boredom - absurd!
by Lindsey Novak
Q: No one is addressing how long it will take for jobs to trickle down to us unemployed baby boomer sales management professionals. We are not going to be the recipients of the jobs President Barack Obama's program to rebuild the country's infrastructure will create. I was laid off recently and applied for a sales job at a good company. I have known the owners of the company for several years. They knew I had made good money and would do a good job for them, yet all they told me when I applied was that I was overqualified. It took me years to move up the income ladder. Since I was laid off, all those years of building security have been taken away, and I stand to lose my wife, my house and all that I own. What kind of mentality do hiring personnel have to respond by telling me I'd be bored and would continue looking if they hired me? I and most others in my position would be glad to make 50 percent less, because we all know that we are starting over in this economy. How should I respond to such an inappropriate statement?
A: Yes, the excuse the owners stated for not hiring you is ridiculous in this economy. And because many sales jobs pay primarily commissions, they would have lost nothing by hiring you for a trial period. Many employees gladly have accepted salary reductions over layoffs when presented with the choice, so you should have pointed out that getting bored would not be a possibility. You may have been too stunned to respond, but interviewing now is tougher than ever before. You must have all your explanations and responses rehearsed so you can deliver them naturally and with confidence. No matter what the state of the economy is, keep your mind in a state of success. Don't come across as desperate while interviewing for a sales position. People can feel others' desperation, and begging for a job, regardless of one's financial position, won't work.
Losing your wife is a different problem. Ask yourself whether your relationship always has been based on materialism. That type of relationship can't last in a difficult economy, and discovering one has few emotional connections to a spouse can be heart-wrenching. On the other hand, if you started out in an emotionally close marriage, see whether your wife is responding to your attitude regarding your layoff. Perhaps you are the one who has placed too much meaning on material possessions and are not allowing her to be your emotional support. Couples who once shared values can work through situations, but each spouse must commit to counseling and open up emotionally. Marriages with nothing but designer labels bonding them have harder roads ahead.
Standing by Your Man Takes Its Toll When He Is Guilty
Q: I've encountered numerous problems getting a job in my area, even though I have a bachelor's in economics and 10-plus years of office experience (three at a professional level). The problem is that after a highly publicized trial, my husband was convicted of numerous felonies. I openly defended my husband, but I moved away after the trial. I worked elsewhere without a problem, but after the birth of my first grandchild, I moved back to be closer to the rest of my family. If I use my married name, I can't even get an interview. If I use my maiden name, I get interviews but no job offers. On the Internet, my name still is linked to the stories about my husband. What can I do differently?
A: You may be encountering one of two separate problems: guilt by association, which you created by standing by your husband even though he was guilty, or age discrimination. If you are getting interviews using your maiden name, you might not be getting the jobs because of your age. Use your maiden name, and let people in your area get to know you. Let's hope they develop a respect for you on your own. From there, you may find employment.

There is something magical about decanting a wine, whether or not it really needs it.
Pouring from a standard bottle into a fancy oddly-shaped glass receptacle makes the drinking experience more ceremonious.
But is this extravagance necessary? More often than not it is simply unnecessary.
For practical purposes, we decant for two reasons.
- To aid in the breathing of a wine – generally a young wine.
- To remove the good wine from its sediment or the particles that begin to form & "drop out" of an aged wine.
There is some benefit to the first, but as readers of this blog know, I am an advocate of both the vinturi aerator for young wines as well as rigorous glass swirling for aid in breathing with a young wine.
And as for the second, careful pouring can prevent sediment from reaching the glass and as such makes the idea of decanting somewhat frivolous.
But it is this second reason that has the inventors of this new bottle claiming that the decanter will soon become extinct.
It seems the shape of this new bottle cleverly enables the sediment to get trapped in the bottom "compartment" preventing the escape of sediment from the bottle to the glass.
What will they come up with next…???
Happy sediment free Wine Tasting!

The machine was produced at the company's Kandivali plant in Mumbai, India. The manufacturer of tractors ranging from 22 hp to 100 hp has doubled its global production in less than a decade. It produced its first 1 million tractors over a period of close to 40 years beginning in 1965. Mahindra is the fastest-growing tractor brand in North America, the company says. "This is a time for us to challenge ourselves and continue building on Mahindra's success," says Mani Iyer, president of Houston, Texas-based Mahindra USA.

Fast Track
In 2008, the UM Office of Research and Economic Development piloted a one-time funding program designed to enhance the university's research discoveries by moving them further down the commercialization pipeline. From the projects funded under the program, numerous patent applications and license agreements resulted, as well as the raising of more than one million dollars in research funding and investment capital. Due to this success, the Vice-President for Research and Economic Development has committed $500,000 for a fourth round of funding under the Fast Track program.
The UM Office of Research and Economic Development will provide funding up to $50,000 per proposal to support prospects from each of the UM campuses. Tenured/tenure-track faculty and full-time ranked, non-tenure research faculty are invited to submit proposals. Funding under this program is to allow recipients to focus on development, testing, or prototype construction, and/or conduct specific market research. This evaluation may lead to industry collaboration, licensing, the formation of a new company, or the development of the technology for commercial application. Funds received are not to be used for basic research, but to evaluate the commercial potential of existing research. The funding request should be the lowest cost proposal to complete the work.

With the median length of unemployment reaching 10 months and more than four job seekers for every opening, Congress must find ways to continue unemployment compensation to protect jobless workers and their families, said the chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development. "For millions of American workers and their families, economic hardship continues and grows," said Bishop Stephen E. Blaire of Stockton, Calif., in a Dec. 12 letter to House members. "The U.S. Catholic bishops have long advocated that the most effective way to build a just economy is the availability of decent work at decent wages," he added. "When the economy fails to generate sufficient jobs, there is a moral obligation to help protect the life and dignity of unemployed workers and their families." Millions will lose their unemployment benefits beginning Jan. 1. Bishop Blaire urged the House members to "consider the moral and human consequences of your decisions on the most vulnerable among us, especially unemployed workers and their families." With 15 percent of all Americans—including one in four children—living in poverty, the campaign will promote awareness about domestic poverty and provide resources including an interactive poverty tour and a monthlong Facebook event. Daily activities on Facebook beginning Jan. 1 will be aimed at building greater understanding about poverty in the United States. The content is recommended for use by diocesan social action directors, Catholic Campaign for Human Development directors and program coordinators, parish social ministry leaders, teachers and others. Bishop Jaime Soto of Sacramento, Calif., chairman of the bishops' CCHD subcommittee, said the Catholic culture of life "begins with a love that binds us to the hopes and joys, the struggles and the sorrows of people, especially those who are poor or (in) any way afflicted. We march with immigrant families toward a society made stronger and safer by their inclusion," he added. "We embrace the mother and her unborn child, giving to both of them hope and opportunity. We measure our own health by the quality of care we give to those most vulnerable. We labor with those whose work is burdensome."

November 08, 2007
By Julia Erlandson, Daily Bruin senior staff
The Middle East may often dominate oil discussions, but a panel Tuesday evening highlighted the importance of oil in other regions to world politics. (The event was co-sponsored by UCLA Anderson's Center for International Business Education and Research.)
The panel featured journalist Steve LeVine and discussion centered around oil in the Caspian region, where LeVine spent 11 years reporting.
Russia has a great deal of influence in the area because several major oil producers, such as Kazakhstan, were members of the Soviet Union, LeVine said. He added that Russia's heavy involvement makes the regional oil industry strategically important to the U.S.
"Power in Russia - and Putin's power, where he's going - can be understood by watching the pipelines and the energy industry," LeVine said. "Russia has a history of using its petro-power as a blunt instrument to get what it wants."
Western nations have become increasingly involved in oil-producing countries in the Caspian region since the fall of the Soviet Union, when the area was opened to foreign investment.
The sudden influx of money could have serious ramifications for both the United States and those countries, some panelists said.
"What's happening in the Caspian basin is an oil boom of historic proportions," said Michael Ross, a political science professor and director of the Center for Southeast Asia Studies. There is an unbelievable amount of new money flowing into these countries. This is maybe a once in a millennium opportunity to alleviate poverty and move forward with development ... but often these opportunities are squandered."
LeVine noted that several countries, including Kazakhstan and Russia, have said they will use their newfound wealth to buy Western assets, which could become problematic for relations with the U.S.
"There's the question, what assets are they talking about? What are they going to do with that money?" LeVine said.
Several panelists criticized the U.S.'s current approach to the emergence of rich Caspian oil-producers.
Michael Intriligator, a professor of political science, economics and public policy, said the United States should be concerned about Russia becoming more economically and politically powerful.
"It seems to me that our country has kind of lost track of what's going on in the world ... of geopolitics, geoeconomics," he said.
The panelists added that American officials should be particularly worried that Russia holds U.S. Treasury bonds, which they could cash in for government cash.
"They could push us into a recession, if not a full depression. They hold that lever over our head," he said.
LeVine said he believes the United States has not completely abandoned a Cold War mentality, and has not adequately updated its approach to dealing with Russia.
While the United States plans to install missile systems in Eastern Europe the same way it did during the Cold War, Russia expands its power in more modern ways, such as by taking control of the energy industry, LeVine said.
Jared Fox, a graduate student in computer science and public policy at the UCLA school of public affairs and the panel's moderator, suggested the U.S. could invest more heavily in alternative energy sources as a way of countering Russia's influence.
Woodrow Clark, a lecturer at UC Riverside, also stressed the importance of renewable energy sources.
"We in the United States are going to be dependent on a very unstable supply of fuel ... we have got to do something to not be dependent on that supply of fuel," he said.
The discussion was the first in an event series aimed at addressing important regional issues around the world.

HiI think it's easier to program the steps for the circuit with 2 pins. But i can't tell how the stepping is actually made.Have you thought about using an L297? That would take A LOT of programming off your shoulders. It just needs a clock source (could be a simple PWM signal), and a direction input (high or low).Good luck.
Hi,How flexible is this to program ? Can I control how fast, how long and/or how many steps to turn, which waveform etc. ? Can you please point me to a circuit ? I have Arduino board, any idea how to input clock source to L297 ?Thanks,RO.
I am looking at http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/StepperBipolarCircuit where it shows two circuits to drive a bi-polar stepper motor. One has 2-pins that go to the controller and the other has 4 pins that go to the controller. I am wondering what is the advantage of one versus the other. The 4-pin circuit seems simpler to build but I end up using 2 extra pins whereas the 2-pin one is (comparatively) harder to build but saves 2-pins, which will be useful if I want to drive multiple steppers.
If you wanna use the L297, be prepared for a larger circuit, like adding a L298 or similar as the L297 in itself isn't able to drive your motor.

Religious leaders have renewed their call to Congress seeking the immediate closure of the U.S. military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. The prison "is the symbol of our country's violation of our deepest values" and must be closed immediately, the group of more than 40 religious leaders said in a letter of Nov. 12 to congressional leaders from the National Religious Campaign Against Torture. The Guantánamo Bay prison "stands in the minds of hundreds of millions of people in our nation and around the globe as a place where America broke faith with itself and used torture as an interrogation technique," the letter said. Closing the prison now rather than later will allow the country to begin to heal spiritually and "put an end to this dark and errant chapter in our history," the leaders wrote.

My parents can't agree about what to do with the book. My mother has wanted to chuck it from the minute she married my dad in 1969. But my father insists on displaying it, albeit upside-down, on the bookshelf next to his collection of Jewish texts.
His uncle, Eddie Cohen, brought the book home from World War II in 1945. As I heard the story, Eddie, my great-uncle, took part in the storming of Omaha Beach and went on to fight in Germany. During one battle, he killed a German soldier and went through his rucksack, claiming the copy of "Mein Kampf" he found inside as his dubious souvenir.
When he returned from the war in 1945, he gave the book to his sister, my grandmother. Grandma Helen stashed the book in her basement, where it sat for two decades until her son, my father, decided he would become its next owner.
For my mother, the gold-leafed volume sitting on the bookshelf was an outrage. Her father had fled from the Nazis in Poland in 1939, and the family he left behind had all perished in Treblinka. But over time, my mother came to accept that her husband needed that upside-down book on his shelf — a visual reminder of devastation and triumph — even more than she needed it out of her house.

May 2013 Randy's Electrical CornerPosted in How To: Electrical on May 1, 2013
I like going fast. Like that time we were chasing the guy from Bargain Bag in the stolen Bargain Bag truck. Well, the Bargain Bag guy didn't steal the truck, he was in the back of it. Well, he was in the back of it when Joy took it. But then after he was running around in his underwear and we put him back in the truck, we chased him. We chased him because Earl didn't tell me to put him in the back of the truck, so I put him in the front. But then the guy took the truck and we had to chase him. So Earl finally drove fast to catch the stolen truck.
You Jeep guys don't like going fast. It seems you get a big kick out of going slow over big rocks. Sometimes the rocks are too big and you get stuck, which is why you have all those wenches on the front of your Jeeps. The thing is, sometimes you need the wench on the back of the Jeep and not the front. So, I got to thinking how it would be cool to make the wench removable so it could be mounted on the front or the back of the Jeep, depending on which way you got stuck. Plus, it would allow you to remove the wench or leave it at home so it doesn't get stolen when you go into those bad parts of town.
But wenches need a lot of power if you are really stuck, and an electrical plug from even a welder just isn't going to cut it. I had started with the McMaster Carr catalog and was figuring out how to do it myself when someone suggested I use the Warn disconnect kit. It was only $150, which was cheaper than I could piece it together and get all the parts delivered for, so I ordered one up. Here's what's in the box and how the world leader in winches had figured out how to let you unplug your wench.

Bobbin Friends!
This weekend I've had a whole bunch of 'me' time whilst Pete's off at an Olympic weightlifting certification thingy (no he's not all huge and hardcore with no neck - just something he's getting in to). Plenty of time for crafting and preparing some new, non-fabric stuff for my shop (the fabric is still coming though, in about a week - whoo!).
A little while ago I got these 'Bobbin Friends' button badges made and have sewn some little Japanesey fabric pouches for them. They're up on etsy now.
Okay time for a cuppa. Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

They are cute. And thanks for letting me know about the stickers. You know, I was going to buy a badge maker from the USA. (I can buy one in Japan, but it's a toy for kids) But I may give 'the promo shop' a go to test things out. I really need to check out Etsy more, but dial up net puts me off.

EXCLUSIVEIf a gay NFL player is about to come out publicly ... football player-turned actor Terry Crews thinks the guy's facing a huge challenge due to what he calls ... "ultra-badass" machismo.
Terry's known for his tough guy acting roles now, but also played 7 seasons in the NFL -- and told us it's harder to come out in pro football than any other sport "because of the violent nature of it."
He added, "It's almost like the military."
As for whether the rumors of a player coming out are true -- Terry definitely has an opinion ... one that's tied to Prez Obama.
Just watch.

There's more on recent rumors that Vivendi SA is considering selling off its stake in Activision Blizzard on Reuters, where they say that the French telecom giant had decided it will divest itself of the gaming unit. The report indicates that they are gauging interest from those with suitably deep pocketbooks: "Although a formal process has not started, bankers close to Vivendi are sounding out cash-rich trade players, including China's Tencent and U.S. duo Time Warner and Microsoft, as well as private-equity heavyweights KKR, Providence and Blackstone, banking sources said." Reuters got no comment responses about this from Microsoft and Time Warner. Thanks VG247.

White House Pushes Economic Case for Climate Action
The White House is trying to put a price on delaying action on climate change.
Aiming to create a sense of urgency around its actions to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the White House is issuing a report Tuesday that argues that the longer the delay, the more future generations will bear costs.
The report doesn't put a dollar amount on what the administration says is the price of inaction. Instead, it employs a pair of economic models to predict its magnitude.

Hi guys!
I have a simple experiment for doing internationalization. In this example I'm using css content properties to not reload the app when a lang changes. It works pretty nice but I'm not sure about the performance yet.
Check the example working at http://elmasse.gaver.nl/projects/bundle-css
Or see the code from github repo at https://github.com/elmasse/Ext.i18n....ee/css-content
As I said, this is an experiment. Maybe it can be ported to ExtJS so the impact of adding more dom elements is not as important as in mobile.

The Toroweap (or Toroweep) overlook is the most exciting place I've visited on the Grand Canyon north rim thus far. It is in the western part of the canyon and can only be reached via 60 miles of dirt road. The first 50-odd miles were very well maintained when we visited but once one enters the national park the road becomes almost unmaintained and a vehicle with good clearance is required.
This pano was taken just before getting to the overlook proper. One can just start to make out where the Colorado river gorge is located.

The Texas Rangers have 36 pitchers in their spring training camp. Many of them are relievers looking for work and that means closer Joe Nathan will be surrounded by some different faces in the bullpen.
Relievers Koji Uehara, Mike Adams, Mark Lowe and Scott Feldman all left in free agency. Left-hander Robbie Ross, who was 6-0 with a 2.22 ERA in 58 relief appearances as a rookie last season, is getting a chance this year to compete for the No. 5 spot in the starting rotation.
Among the additions are Jason Frasor, the former Toronto reliever, and Josh Lindblom, acquired when the Rangers traded Michael Young to Philadelphia.
General manager Jon Daniels says he likes the collection of arms competing for jobs. Their first workout was Wednesday.

When Eagles coach Chip Kelly was trying to downplay the significance of offseason snap counts, he joked: "Someone charted them, I would imagine."
That they have, and it's obvious that Kelly's trying to keep his quarterback job competitive for as long as possible.
According to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Nick Foles took 21 snaps to Michael Vick's 15 in seven-on-seven and team drills Monday.
That's more than a sprinkling, and continues to point to the competitiveness of the situation.
While any quarterback would prefer most of the work to get ready for a season, there's no reason for Kelly to make a decision now. He hasn't been able to work with either of them long enough.
For the record, Matt Barkley apparently has the lead for the third-string job, with 21 snaps to five for Dennis Dixon and two for G.J. Kinne.
Now that that's been documented, we can return the reporters covering the Eagles to their crucial other duty — documenting the songs on Kelly's practice playlist.

I know this was so last week.... but I still can't get over My WrestleMania Weekend. I live in Chino, I am proud PWG fan since July '09 for Threemendous 2. Since my first show watching Brian Danielson, Chris Hero and The Motor City Machine Guns, I have yet to miss a show. Even if I had to go by myself, you would catch me from now on in the front row.
I went to Phoenix for WrestleMania. My friend lived there so I spend the weekend there. For Saturday, I wend to WrestleMania Axxess at the 1pm show. I took a pic w/ Rosa Mendez, walked around & looked at the exhibits & took a pic w/ hornswaggle. I had about an hour & a half left before they kicked me out of the event. I had a choice of either to go get an autograph w/ Kofi Kingston or take a picture w/ Gail Kim. The Kofi line was huge, so I went to see Gail Kim. I figured that her line will be faster & then I would probably have time to do one more thing. When I finished taking a pic w/ Gail, I looked at Kofi's line & it was hella small. I ran to it thinking, "hell yeah... I'm going to make it on time to see him"... when I noticed that they replaced Kofi w/ Justin Gabriel.... WTF!!! I got out of the line asap & walked around looking for something to do before i got kicked out, and then I noticed another NXT wrestler doing autographs.... and then it hit me.
Brian Danielson has to be somewhere around here. I found him and ran into his line. This is the conversation I had w/ him:
Me: I'm a huge fan of yours. I respect everything you've done for the business.
Brian: Thanks
Me: But I have to be honest w/ you... I need you back at Reseda!!!
Brian: (laughed)... buzzzzzz
Me: (laughed) I am from LA & I was there for your final show in PWG...
Brian: really...
Me: It sucks not have you there, but I'm glad to know that I could see you on TV every week.
Brian: Thanks. I really appreciate it.
He took a pic w/ me & he also signed my IC belt... He is a total class act & I cant wait to see him live again.
Side Note: On WrestleMania Sunday, I went to a breakfast place thats in Buckeye, AZ. My friend recommended the place so I had to go. The name of the place is Cracker Barrel. It was the bomb!!! Outside the restaurant they had rocking chairs where you could relax & also a few tables where you could play checkers. I was walking about to enter the place & I noticed 3 guys sitting on the rocking chair just relaxing. I couldnt recognize one of them, but I know the other two were Scorpion Sky & Scott Lost. Unbelieavable...

Format : jpg/jpeg.
Usually tax returns are the main purpose of producing small business accounts and invariably some analysis is required to show what the expenses have been spent on. That is not difficult to achieve and as with the sales accounting the owner manager can add additional standard columns to the bookkeeping spreadsheet. The expenditure analysis columns do not need to be a different column for each type of expenditure. It is better to set up and group the analysis columns in general headings which can accommodate all the expenses. Such columns may include stock, other direct costs, premises costs, general administrative costs, transport and delivery costs, repairs and maintenance, travelling and hotel costs, motor costs, bank and legal costs and other expenses. It is better not to enter too many items under a general heading of other expenses as this is more likely to be investigated as the type of expense has not been precisely identified.

The man who has masterminded the expansion of a drone programme that has carried out more than 300 remote strikes against terrorist targets, killing some 2,500 people, is to be nominated as director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
John Brennan, 57, the current head of counter-terrorism, has also provoked ire on the Left because of his connection during the Bush administration, when he was a senior CIA officer, to 'Enhanced Interrogation Techniques' such as water-boarding, which many regard as torture.
President Barack Obama intended to nominate Brennan for the CIA post in 2009 but changed his mind following opposition from Democrats. Instead, Brennan became his top counter-terrorism adviser in the White House and went on to play a key role in the killing of Osama bin Laden.
Brennan angered many on the Right and some senior Obama administration officials, most notably Robert Gates, the then Pentagon chief, by delivering a briefing about bin Laden's death that contained significant inaccuracies.
