Best Place to Meet Intelligent Women
SWAN Spoken Soul Festival
Women. You know you can't live without them. But it sure helps if the one you're living with can carry on a conversation without using words like irregardless, high-larious, and — our personal favorite — anyways. Where can you find such a woman without having to scour comic-book conventions and Scrabble meetups? You want brains, but you could do without…

Best Place to Meet Intelligent Men
Effusion Gallery
Face it: Spending your weekends at South Beach clubs hasn't helped your search for the perfect man. You want someone funny, handsome, and smart, but the majority of men bobbing their heads to the DJ's uhntz-uhntz are about as interesting as that recycled Madonna beat. Don't despair — the answer to your prayers is located right around the corner on…

Best Place to Meet Single Women
The Corner
It's 4 a.m. and you still haven't found a special lady with whom you can have a semi-inebriated conversation. You are thinking of calling it a night — but slow down there, buddy. There is a watering hole in downtown Miami perfect for meeting women who aren't ready to call it a night. Appropriately named the Corner — because it…

Best Place to Meet Single Men
Hooters on Coral Way
Granted, the guys who regularly hang at Hooters to suck down pitchers might not be moneyed, but they obviously dig chicks — and not only the ones with wings. Heck, they congregate at a place known for exposing so much of its staff's cleavage that the servers don't even expect patrons to look them in the eye. According to general…

Best First Date Spot
Gary Nader Fine Art
Miamians are a funny breed. We'll pay hundreds of dollars to stand shoulder-to-sweaty-shoulder in a dark nightclub, listening to electronic music that sounds the same coming out of our speakers at home, where we actually have room to dance. And though we have the daily opportunity to stand mere feet from million-dollar paintings by Picasso, Botero, Matisse, and other masters,…

Best Historic Museum
Black Police Precinct & Courthouse Museum
In 1944, the City of Miami hired its first black police officers. They worked on foot and bicycle, patrolling the Central Negro District of Overtown, then known colloquially as "Colored Town," from the Florida East Coast Railway tracks to NW Seventh Ave, and from NW Fifth to 21st streets. By 1946, they also patrolled Liberty City and Coconut Grove. They…

Best Festival
Big Night in Little Haiti
Music is the soul that makes the planet dance, and every third Friday of the month, Little Haiti shakes its hips, waves its hands, stomps its feet, and thanks the stars. Since March 2011, this festival of music, art, food, and culture has brought some of the biggest names in the history of Haitian music to a free party in…

Best After-Hours Club
Norman's American Bar & Grill
Every day, including Christmas and Easter (and probably during hurricanes), Norman's celebrates its late-night happy hour from midnight to 5 a.m. When other bars close and people are sick of dancing on South Beach, tired of paying $15 for a cocktail, or looking for a good time when the freaks come out, they hit this Miami Beach gem for $5…

Best Dance Club
For decades, the Fontainebleau had been regarded as the granddaddy of all luxury resorts in Miami Beach; by the '90s, it had lost a bit of its luster. But it's funny what a multibillion-dollar renovation can do. After a complete overhaul in 2009, the hotel reopened with a more youthful vibe, including a megaclub far away from South Beach. The…

Best VIP Room
To do the VIP experience right, you must follow the lead of the hip-hop heavyweights who visit South Beach to blow off some stress and put a serious dent in their financial portfolios. Sure, their accountants won't be happy come Monday, but Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Flo Rida, Diddy, and even the insufferable Chris Brown know that the top place…

Best Weekly Party
Upstairs at Grand Central — the immense downtown live music venue — is the Garret, which functions as an independent space. It is the perfect size for smaller shows and weekly parties. Though one-off shows and events have had varied levels of success, the Garret's Friday-night party, Peachfuzz, is a clear winner. As the name implies, the party takes you…

Best Ladies' Night
Blush Wednesdays - CLOSED
Ladies in this town have it tough. We feel the pressure to look good all the time or risk our Miami resident card being revoked. We should totally be rewarded for this, no? Thank goodness for Blush Wednesdays at Villa Mayfair. It's the best spot to take a group of gal pals for a fun, worry-free evening. Villa's sexy violet…

Best Drag Night
Getting Fresh Wednesdays
Spending a Wednesday at Twist is like stepping into the fantasy realm of Gay and Gayer. We love Miami for giving us that option. Things are likely to get rowdy, especially because the superstar Ms. TP Lords hosts the night with more sass than a kitten. Enjoy $5 Long Island iced teas and join the gaggle that congregates at the…

Best Strip Club
King of Diamonds
There are $100 bills on the floor, empty bottles of Cristal in the trash, and nudity everywhere. Or as noted hustler, Maybach Music boss, and Carol City poet laureate Ricky Rozay would say, "Somebody call the Brinks truck... [King of Diamonds] got the baddest bitches waiting on a nigga." In a city with a strip club on every corner, the…

Best Hip-Hop Club
SoBe Live - CLOSED
For all y'all midlevel ballers looking to get outta that part-time gig at Macy's and into the VIP, here's some advice: Empty your savings account, rent a Rolls, and spend the weekend at SoBe Live. Any given Thursday, you could be running wild with Atlanta spitter and Brick Squad boss Waka Flocka Flame, spraying coeds with champagne, smoking a sticky…

Best Gay Bar
Swinging Richards - CLOSED
Yes, the prudish goofs who run North Miami Beach are totally grossed out by a gay bar with a "sexually explicit" name such as Swinging Richards — not to mention the icky idea of full, frontal male nudity. But that's no excuse for uptight residents and overzealous city officials to go trampling on a homosexual man's right to pay another…

Best Dive Bar
Mac's Club Deuce
In the land of million-dollar megaclubs, endless bottle service, boob-job giveaways, bleached beaches, and cosmetically enhanced asses, everybody needs a drunk-and-dirty dive-bar reality check. And Mac's Club Deuce is so real that it's unreal. So hide your bloodshot eyes behind smashed shades. Escape the merciless subtropical sun. And enter the cool, lurid darkness of this 90-year-old South Beach boozing spot.…
More >>
Best Underground Club
Stoop House
Welcome to Stoop House, where the only rule is "Stoop hard, get stoopid." It's a newish party spot that belongs to Miami's long, great, and generally undocumented tradition of totally off-the-radar music venues, such as the short-lived all-ages spot Goo. Or remember last year's ill-fated Chum Bucket collective? Or how about the now-dead La Cueva, a Little Haiti music venue…

Best Latin Club
Bongos Cuban Cafe - CLOSED
When out-of-towners want to shake to the rhythm of Latin music, we throw on a guayabera, linen pants, and loafers and escort the visitors to the American Airlines Arena in downtown Miami. Located behind the Miami Heat's home court, Bongos Cuban Cafe boasts a sweeping vista of Biscayne Bay, which is the perfect backdrop for the thumping beat of salsa,…

Best Karaoke
Fat Monkey Bar
If you're gonna murder a popular song, might as well do it on the fringes of the Everglades. Since 2009, Fat Monkey has been hosting karaoke parties six days a week. Trust us — the trek to deep South Miami-Dade is worth it. Lube up your vocal cords with $5 frozen daiquiris or four bottles of domestic beer for $10.…

Best Rock Club
Churchill's Pub
On the first day, that great guitar god in the sky made a skull-shattering noise and called it rock 'n' roll. On the second, he smashed his axe, lit the splintered instrument on fire, and watched it burn. On the third day, he destroyed a four-star hotel room. On the fourth, he signed a major-label record deal, transformed himself into…

Best Venue for Local Acts
PAX Miami - CLOSED
Set back about a hundred steps from SW Eighth Street, a black, boxy building hides in the shadow of I-95. This is the Performing Arts Exchange, also known as PAX Miami. Just more than a year ago, owner and art buyer Roxanne Scalia completed renovations on the former Miami Herald distribution center. She quickly booked a bunch of bands, including…
More >>
Best Live Music Venue
From the outside, there's no sign of life. Long curtains hinder any attempt to spy through the windows of midtown's ever-expanding strip mall on North Miami Avenue. In fact, there's really nothing — aside from the packed parking lot — to indicate you have arrived at your destination in an otherwise desolate area. Late at night, there is only this…
More >>
Best Small Music Venue
How do you build a killer tree house? Step 1: Pick the perfect crotch, a space between boughs that's ideally suited for supporting a couple of rooms, a few friends, and a full premium bar. Step 2: Lay the dance floor, install the VIP tables, and unfurl the rope ladder. Step 3: Hire a bouncer-slash-model to work the door. Step…

Best Open-Mike Night
Tuesday Nights at Luna Star Cafe
If you're a musician, performance artist, poet, or spoken-wordsmith, follow the map in the sky to Luna Star Cafe in North Miami, now in its 16th year of awesomeness. There you can display your talent in an open-minded open format, with a supporting cast of more than 100 cosmopolitan beers (including a Florida brew called Holy Mackerel and a Belgian…

Best DJ
Laura (of Miami)
On May 10, 2012, Laura Sutnick closed a chapter of her life. Besides matriculating at the University of Miami, she's been the iconic on-air DJ Laura (of Miami) on WVUM for the past four years. Her show, Vamos a la Playa, quickly became a Miami staple — a two-hour feature of the best in college radio. Sutnick also took her…

Best Young DJ
Julio Mejia
Julio Mejia is young, talented, local, and seemingly unstoppable. Just old enough to drink, the 21-year-old has already merked the decks onstage with great names such as Diplo, Dave Nada, Klever, and last year's best Miami DJ, Craze. Whether he's working on solo projects or with his partner Matthew Toth as half of electro duo GTA, Mejia has penned tunes…
More >>
Best Electronica Artist
A quick look at the Billboard charts reveals that the rest of America has finally learned something Miami figured out long ago: House music is awesome. Of course, the Magic City wasn't always so hip. Murk — the team of Ralph Falcón and Oscar G. — defined our club music culture starting with their debut in the early '90s. Separately,…
More >>
Best Band
Whether they're ass-smashing Nachos Supreme with strippers, "Planking on Yo Bitch" all over South Beach, or overdosing on "Kush Smoke & Pussy" in a Miami Shores parking lot, O'Grime's L.Rey and Nikolais Javan are this city's most ridiculously rad rap team. Their YouTube vids routinely get 100,000 views. Their email inboxes are constantly flooded with nudie pics from fans of…
More >>
Best Latin Band
Bachamambo plays bachata criollo, a form of Dominican roots music that was born in country barrooms of the D.R. The style is a dance based on Dominican blues, with songs about getting drunk, losing your woman, and getting kicked out of the house. It's all set to an infectious beat that Latins call "pegajoso," as in sticky or extremely catchy.…
More >>
Best Funk Band
Psychic Mirrors
This 12-member mini-orchestra is perhaps the most ambitious indie music project in recent South Florida memory. Psychic Mirrors comes complete with choreographed back-up singers, horns, keys, and a unique blend of funk rhythms, electro beats, and Latin flavor that includes decidedly futuristic nods toward the past. This is a band that doesn't follow any predefined archetypes. The brainchild of Cuban-American…

Best Music Video
DJ Khaled's "I'm on One"
Most rap videos are luxurious fantasies layered on top of other wildly luxurious fantasies. We've all seen the video in which a rhyme-spitting protagonist is partying in the VIP section of the hottest club, wearing the finest clothes, drinking top-shelf liquor, and standing amid gyrating ladies — one of whom he'll probably take home later in a fine sports car.…
More >>
Best Pop Artist
Marlon Alarm
Thanks to meat-fashion enthusiast Lady Gaga, pop music is currently parked at the corner of Weird Boulevard and Glamour Drive. Travel down an alley, though, and you'll find Marlon Alarm. In his video for single "Double Diamond," ethereally beautiful, ambiguous, and asexual Alarm emerges from a trash can before pronouncing with a sneer: "Radio, listen up, play my song. I'm…

Best Concert
Cut Copy's Double-Header
Miami's hipster concertgoers are pretty lax when it comes to buying tickets. Indie shows rarely sell out here. So a lot of people were left shocked in their skinny jeans when tickets for Cut Copy's September show at the relatively cavernous Grand Central were gone early. That's because it wasn't just hipsters buying tickets. Cut Copy seems to be one…

Best Songwriter
Sol Ruiz
Is she a hippie, a gypsy, a nomad, or a crazy, soulful, lovely, lusty Cuban musical genius? All of the above, and a work of art to boot. And if you heard her earlier this year playing live on Michael Stock's folk and acoustic music show on WLRN (91.3 FM), you know the skill and imagination it takes to make…
More >>
Best Unknown Band
Die Trying
Oi! Die Trying plays street punk — the driving, anthemic, and melodic style of underground rock that encourages gang-vocal sing-alongs from the crowd and revels in the power of a simple and heartfelt delivery. The band features members from Hellhounds, Five Across the Eyes, Unit Six, Vice City Rockers, and Guerrilleros de Nadie — five groups that have helped define…
More >>
Best Solo Musician
On April 1, 1991, the future capo of the intergalactic Raider Klan Mafia was born in Miami. His name was SpaceGhostPurrp. Well, legally, the infant's birth certificate read, "Muney Jordan." But that was just the earthly label forced upon an extraterrestrial creature who crash-landed in Carol City with a mission to get high, hypnotize humanity, make money, and elevate his…

Best Comedian
Dave Williamson
The genius of Dave Williamson's comedy: It's your life, but funnier. Williamson is an exactly average human being, a man of median age who lives in the burbs with his wife and kids. His height is average, he's neither grossly over- nor underweight, and he doesn't have a big nose or a Gilbert Gottfried voice or, really, any distinguishing physical…

Best Supporting Actress
Clara Lyzniak
Main Street Players president Clara Lyzniak has been involved with the small troupe since 1998 and has served in almost every capacity there is at a theater company. But it was her uproarious scene-stealing turn as Zoila in the group's production of Living Out that proves she needs to be on stage more often. Lyzniak's take on the modern Hispanic…

Best Theater for Drama
Main Street Players
Putting on engaging stage dramas can be daunting for any theater troupe. Yet the diminutive and diverse Main Street Players is always up to the task. Sure, there are bigger troupes that draw larger crowds and cast more accomplished actors for their respective productions. But Main Street Players is special because its commitment is to stories and to telling those…

Best Theater Company
The M Ensemble
Formed in 1971 at the University of Miami by the late T.G. Cooper, the M Ensemble has always had the goal of promoting African-American culture and experiences through the performing arts. Beginning at the Edison Community Center and going through many incarnations, with plays performed in schools, churches, and libraries, the troupe has made a deep and lasting mark in…

Best Drag Queen
TP Lords
TP Lords can serve up just about anything. One night she's offering traditional glam girl and the next she's on some avant-garde Leigh Bowery-type trip. Hell, she can even do Beyoncé realness with the best of them and then go backstage and emerge as some sort of neon creature who looks like a cross between a club kid and a…

Best Reality Contestant
Latrice Royale,
RuPaul's Drag Race
Have you ever been moved to tears while watching a 300-pound ex-felon in a wig lip-sync Aretha Franklin's "Natural Woman" to her fake baby bump? If not, you clearly haven't been watching the fourth season of RuPaul's Drag Race, featuring breakout star Latrice Royale. She fell just short of winning the crown, but she certainly won our hearts. Before being…

Best Public Art
Brandon Opalka's Semitruck
As a street artist, Brandon Opalka has been using Miami's façades as his canvas since moving to town in 1996. Without the urban sprawl, Opalka would have no medium, but paradoxically, it's the natural world that inspires him. His latest massive mural, Changing the Way We Breathe, completed in late 2011, reminds us to take care of our silent organic…

Best Artists
The TM Sisters
Distilling a Miami aesthetic down to a distinct essence is an Olympian undertaking. Our city beats with a rhythm that's electric and shape shifting. Languages and cultures collide in a Babylonian tapestry. Artists from Iceland to Chile call the Magic City their home. But then again, for Monica and Tasha Lopez De Victoria, who for the past decade have been…
More >>
Best Art Gallery
Primary Projects
Art with an attitude and an uncompromising eye for gritty street swagger distinguishes Primary Projects from the rest of Miami's ever-growing pack of galleries and artist-run spaces. Powered by the triumvirate of BooksIIII Bischof, Typoe, and Chris Oh, this multidisciplinary stage for bleeding-edge work — oddly located in a swank Design District enclave of restaurants and designer shops — has…

Best Museum
The Wolfsonian-FIU
Let's face it: Miami is not always seen as the classiest town. Many outsiders still think our idea of art is a stripper's Betty Boop tramp stamp. But if Art Basel and the explosion of Wynwood aren't enough to silence the critics, try taking them to one of the most unique and well curated museums in any city. The Wolfsonian,…

Best Art Museum
Museum of Contemporary Art
Celebrating its 15th anniversary, the Museum of Contemporary Art has always had a mission to inspire cultural consciousness among local audiences — the younger the better. Museum director Bonnie Clearwater is a firm believer in arts education and has expanded MOCA's outreach programs to include a museum-studies partnership with Miami-Dade County Public Schools, directly affecting more than 7,000 students in…

Best Acting Ensemble
Cast of
So My Grandmother Died, Blah Blah Blah
Overflowing with pop cultural and Wikipedia references, textually dense psychodrama, and existential meanderings, Mad Cat's So My Grandmother Died, Blah Blah Blah was a theater experience that can be described only as tripping balls while journeying through the mind of a girl suffering from severe writer's block. This original production was an amalgam of fascinating characters, a daring story line,…

Best Art Walk
Art + Design Night
Forget the circus atmosphere of Wynwood's Second Saturdays. A few blocks north, on the same second Saturday of every month, the Design District hosts a much more subdued art walk that's every bit as interesting. What makes this one special is that instead of the wafting smell of fried dishes from food trucks, you have your choice of lauded eateries…

Best Basel Headline Grab
Yishay Garbasz
From a drug-filled coffin at a satellite fair to a naked artist lying in the mud with a pair of hogs in a local gallery window, the tenth-anniversary edition of Art Basel featured plenty of weird art to compete with the high-priced masterpieces at the Miami Beach Convention Center. But if there was one artist this past December whose opus…

Best Alternative Art Space
6th Street Container
Nestled behind a building housing a barbershop, bakery, dollar store, and tattoo parlor, the unusually configured 6th Street Container has become a hotbed of provocative exhibits far from Wynwood's increasingly commercial spaces. Since opening the space about two years ago, chief curator Adalberto Delgado and director Maria Amores have organized a steady stream of monthly shows featuring seamlessly curated solo…

Best Art Curator
Ruba Katrib
This past February, Miami's art scene lost one of its elite leaders when Ruba Katrib was tapped as the new curator at Long Island City's SculptureCenter. Before leaving the Magic City, Katrib, the former associate curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami (MOCA), left an enduring legacy at the museum by organizing a string of exhibits easily…

Best Gallery Exhibit
"The Fabulous Bunny Yeager"
Idolized by several generations for her savory pinups, including the infamous nude photos of Bettie Page that graced the pages of Playboy in its infancy, Bunny Yeager can mark 2011 as the year of her rediscovery. The iconic South Florida shutterbug was the subject of her first museum survey at Pittsburgh's Andy Warhol Museum, where highbrow art swells showered her…

Best Art Fair Meltdown
For lovers of traditional and contemporary art from Latin America, ArteAmericas has become a darling by mixing big names such as Wifredo Lam and Carlos Cruz-Diez with emerging talent from around the hemisphere. The self-described "boutique fair" typically draws about 50 international and local galleries to the Miami Beach Convention Center, where visitors can discover more traditional museum-quality paintings and…

Best Art Trend
Non-December Fairs
We have to admit to feeling some skepticism when Art Miami director Nick Korniloff announced a new stand-alone fair this past February so quickly on the tails of Art Basel. After all, the economy is stale, and who else besides the one-percenters can afford to buy art? But to everyone's surprise, when Art Wynwood opened on Presidents' Day weekend in…

Best Art Fair
Wynwood Art Fair
Three years ago, when Constance Collins Margulies hosted her first annual one-night fundraiser for the Lotus House Women's Shelter at her husband Marty Margulies's capacious art warehouse, little did she dream the event would spill out onto Wynwood's gritty streets to transform the surrounding landscape into a virtual playground for art lovers. The down-home art-happening-cum-charity-shindig transformed a stretch of NW…

"A Day Like Any Other" - CLOSED
From evoking the slow-drip symphony of a summer shower with an array of suspended buckets to creating paintings using a torrential downpour in her native Brazil, Rivane Neuenschwander's first museum survey enchanted Miami Art Museum visitors through its beguiling and interactive nature. "A Day Like Any Other" featured 11 major works created over the past decade. In them, Neuenschwander, a…

Domingo Castillo
If you found yourself in the Design District this past Art Basel, you might have stumbled across one of Domingo Castillo's street posters supposedly advertising a missing cat but actually leading to an alternative space, Dimensions Variable.

Best Actress
Christina Alexander
In Djanet Sears's racially and sexually charged Harlem Duet, Christina Alexander of the M Ensemble portrayed Billie, a woman scorned by her man and betrayed by her mind. While dealing with her husband Othello leaving her for his white co-worker, Billie's mind is in constant flux, unstable and deteriorating, while an uneasiness in her perspective on race throughout the years…

Best International Arts Project by Locals
At an abandoned amusement park in the former German Democratic Republic, weeds cover roller coasters, and an orchard of colossal toppled, graffitied dinosaur statues is reminiscent of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The surreal landscape is a model playground for artists to explore, and to Miami's Anthony Spinello and Agustina Woodgate, the "Kulturpark" represented the ideal public art project.…

RAW: Natural Born Artists
Here's the funny thing about arts in Miami: As the scene expands, it becomes harder and harder to break in as a new talent. After all, the more artists there are in this city, the more people are competing for attention. Much like Survivor, if you don't have an alliance, you're likely to get voted off the island. So RAW:…

Best Street Artist
Ruben Ubiera
What makes Ruben Ubiera so special? He eschews traditional canvases for urban-associated items such as the sides of buildings, skateboards, and scrapped wooden fencing. But then, so do a lot of painters. The difference is that his work gives a touch of humanity to city corners that would look otherwise desolate. His signature tag isn't just a name scrawled in…

Best Arts Outreach
Florida Grand Opera
Social media innovations. Flash mobs. Wynwood Second Saturday Art Walk performances. They sound like the attention-getting tactics of a young start-up arts collective. But the cultural organization that's making the biggest push for new audiences this year isn't a new one. In fact, it's been around for 71 seasons. It's Florida Grand Opera. FGO wants your ass in its audience,…

Best Film Festival
Miami International Film Festival
At the last edition of the Miami International Film Festival, a Chilean film called Bonsái took home the big prize. But let's be honest: We were all winners. Over the course of a week and a half, we had the opportunity to watch more than 100 movies. And not just any movies — films vetted by MIFF's selection committee that…

Best Art-House Cinema
O Cinema
Miami's art-house scene has grown exponentially over the past year, and O Cinema is leading the way. The Wynwood theater, which opened only two years ago, is already keeping up with its peers in the 305, bringing national and international indie films to town. In the past 12 months, it has shown off buzz-worthy festival favorites such as Lars von…

Best Movie Theater
CineBistro at Dolphin Mall
Dinner and a movie. It's been a classic date combo since the early days of the silver screen. You fill up on tasty food, take in a rom-com while you digest, and if all goes well, return home to get it on. But this is Miami, where all rarely goes well. Traffic sucks, you can get caught in a rainstorm…

Best Pop-Up Event
Live Young, Skate On!
What elevates a random gathering of people to "pop-up event" status? In the case of Live Young, Skate On!, it was a couple of things: Live entertainment, celebrity appearances, and a world record to break. Evian invited all Miamians to converge on Collins Park this past April 7 for a pop-up roller-skating party, complete with free skates, backpacks, and freaky…

Best Party Venue
Villa 221
At the end of every lunar month (approximately 29.53 days), a beautiful downtown Miami mansion was overrun by hard-core Earth fanatics, semi-ironic hippies, and amateur astrology enthusiasts who came to worship that bright, white rock in the sky by flipping tarot cards, syncing menstrual cycles, peddling homemade holistic anklets, instigating furious drum circles, and dancing barefoot till Mother Moon revealed…

Best Author
Ana Menendez
Ana Menéndez's fourth book, Adios, Happy Homeland!, is structured as a collection of stories by Cuban writers spanning several decades. Though the stories are presented as unrelated, each one slyly shifts into the next and the different voices build to a chorus trying to make sense of what it is to leave home. The book isn't about where people come…

Best Actor
Gregg Weiner
Gregg Weiner is the only South Florida-based actor who has the stage presence and physical instincts to sink himself into the skin of such a force of nature as Mark Rothko, the brilliant Russian-born American expressionist who's the subject of John Logan's one-act, semibiographical play Red. With a shaved head and middle-aged paunch, Weiner was grounded yet forceful as Rothko…

American Desperado
, by Jon Roberts and Evan Wright
Carl Hiaasen — South Florida's reigning king of fiction that's almost as unbelievable as local headlines — once said of his novels' bad guys: "I always try to burden even the villains with some weird predilection they have to cope with. It helps make them memorable and gives them a human side." Former drug smuggler Jon Roberts, who achieved an…

This year, the Miami Herald was a Pulitzer finalist for its series "Neglected to Death," about horrifying abuse and deadly neglect in Florida's assisted living facilities.

Earlier this year, journalist Terence Cantarella re-created a two-decade-old experiment by legendary Miami New Times writer Sean Rowe. Like Rowe, Cantarella bought a canoe, launched it into Biscayne Bay, and navigated all of Miami-Dade County via its neglected canals. Instead of writing about the trip, though, Cantarella told his story primarily through audio. In Dade, there's only one place for…

Brindley "Bo the Lover" Marshall might not be the best-known radio personality in Miami, and he's certainly not the slickest, but he's definitely the hardest working and most consistent.

Best AM Radio Personality
Dan Le Batard
Sports talk radio is largely a vast, arid wasteland of vapid, mind-numbing obtuseness. Angry, failed, and washed-up athletes-turned-mike-jocks saturate the airwaves with meathead nonsense that feeds the bloated beast of sports cliché and celebrates antiquated and lazy-minded notions of sports myth and misinformation. But then there's Dan Le Batard and his afternoon drive show on 790 the Ticket offering a…

Best Spanish-Language Radio Personalities
Ricardo Brown and Lourdes Ubieta
Every weekday, Ricardo Brown and Lourdes Ubieta provide Miami with a double dose of politics. Their show on Actualidad (WURN-AM, 1020) is like a cortadito to the cerebral cortex, skipping from local news to national and international politics so easily that before you know it, you've forgone your usual afternoon siesta and actually learned something. Unlike many Hispanic radio personalities,…

Lowell Williams
Djanet Sears's meticulously complex Harlem Duet is a provocative play that deals with race, sex, and mental illness in the black community.

Williams, who…

With all the handwringing that University of Miami fans were doing last year, they might have missed a historic, lineman-shredding effort by their sophomore running back. While former booster Nevin Shapiro was promising to destroy UM football and a decidedly mediocre 6-6 season unraveled on the field, Lamar Miller accomplished something no Cane had done in nearly a decade: topping…

Plenty of films were shot in Miami this year.

Are we biased, considering that both Leyva and Mayer have won New Times MasterMind Awards and…

Sunday the First Universalist Society of Hartland hosted its fifth annual Chocolate Auction just in time for Valentine's Day. Over forty-four items were up for bid including truffles, cakes, pies and Harpoon Chocolate Stout Beer. Children had the opportunity to bid on desserts set aside for them — the buckets of dirt and worms (crumbled chocolate cookies, pudding and gummy worms) were very popular. Over $375 was raised at the event.

10 November 2009, PulsBiznesu, Poland
The chief economist of the IEA, Dr. Fatih Birol, said that without a new climate change agreement to replace the Kyoto protocol, the average annual import bill of the European Union will more than double by 2030 to reach around $500 billion on average over the period 2008-2030 from around $160 billion on average over the past 30 years.
10 November 2009, Reuters, India
China and India will be responsible for most of the worlds oil demand growth over the next two decades, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA) World Energy Outlook. The report said if government policies stay as they are, Indian oil demand is likely to rise by 3.9 percent every year until 2030, while Chinese demand will rise by 3.5 percent annually over the same period. "India is going to overtake Japan by 2020 as the third largest oil and gas spender." IEA Chief Economist Fatih Birol said.
10 November 2009, Noticias Latino
The IEA stated today that world energy demand will grow by 40% by 2030 and that the climate summit in Copenhagen next month will be a "critical moment" to design a sustainable (energy) future. Nobuo Tanaka, IEA Executive Director quotes "world leaders have a historical opportunity to avoid the worst effects of climate change."The energy efficiency will be the major contributor to reducing demand. Containing climate change is possible, but it requires a profound transformation of the energy sector"
10 November 2009, Danish Minister for Climate and Energy, Connie Hedegaard
World Energy Outlook 2009 provides clear messages for the climate negotiations in Copenhagen. Limiting the temperature rise below 2 degrees celcius is both doable and affordable. And waiting will impose tremendous costs on our societies. With this report the IEA shows that the solution is within reach. Now it is up to politicians to show they have the will to seize it, says the Danish Minister for Climate and Energy, Connie Hedegaard.
27 October 2009, El Mundo, Spain
Fatih Birol, presenting the WEO 2009 Climate Change Excerpt in Madrid said "We need a revolutionary change in our energy system if we want to avoid a global temperature rise of up to 6 degrees." he added: "The economic recession has provided a golden opportunity for governments negotiating a successor treaty to the Kyoto Protocol at the UN Conference (COP15) in Copenhagen next December".
26 October 2009, Bloomberg
OPEC may increase production targets in December as oil rises above $75 a barrel, the groups president said, as the International Energy Agency warned rising prices threaten the recovering global economy. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries will meet Dec. 22 in Luanda, Angola, to review production quotas that it has left unchanged at three gatherings in 2009. Crude futures have rallied 80 percent this year, trading at around $80 a barrel today in New York. Rising prices harm the economic recovery, according to IEA Chief Economist Fatih Birol. "With the strong rebound of the economy, we will see high prices, especially at this juncture, as a significant risk to the risk to the recovery efforts," Birol said in an interview at a Coaltrans conference in London today.
22 October 2009, Financial Times
Fatih Birol, chief economist of the International Energy Agency, commenting oil prices fresh 2009 high at $82 said that investment cutbacks last year as a result of falling prices could be "bad news" if they were followed by economic recovery in leading oil consuming countries and growing demand for crude. Birol said: "This may well lead to oil price spikes, which in turn may be a major problem for the economic recovery efforts".
21 October 2009, Australian Associated Press
The world will have to find four Saudi Arabias by 2030 if it wants to maintain its oil dependency, the International Energy Agency says. The reality of peak oil is fast approaching, and more must be done to develop and encourage the use of alternatives including solar and nuclear, the agencys chief economist has warned. "My main motto never changes, the era of low oil prices is over," Dr Fatih Birol said. "When the economy recovers, oil prices will recover accordingly. Mid to long term, we will be experiencing high prices."
21 October 2009, Reuters China
Oil, which hit a year-high above $80 a barrel on Wednesday, is costly enough to ensure investment even in the most expensive sources of crude, but the industry still faces big challenges, the IEAs chief economist said. The International Energy Agency has voiced concerns of a possible price spike if insufficient investment is made in bringing on new sources of oil to keep pace with demand. "Oil prices of $78 are high enough for almost every single drop of oil we have in the world to invest, if they were to stay at these levels, if producers were to believe that the prices will stay at these levels," Fatih Birol told Reuters on the sidelines of a U.S.-China clean energy conference.
14 October 2009, The Wall Street Journal
Underinvestment in the oil and gas industry remains a concern and could yet push energy prices much higher once global demand recovers, the International Energy Agencys Chief Economist Fatih Birol said Wednesday. There hasnt been "noteworthy progress" in investment since May, Birol told reporters on the sidelines of an IEA-sponsored meeting of energy officials.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) spent time on both sides of breakeven today, as Wall Street weighed another round of upbeat housing data against ugly earnings and global economic concerns. More specifically, solid housing starts translated into an early boon for stocks, helping to overshadow an overseas downgrade and an acquisition-related hit to Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) earnings. However, a few bulls hit the exits once Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke took the stage, with the central banker lecturing Congress on the risks of playing politics ahead of the fiscal cliff. Continue reading for more on today's market events, including:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) explored a range of more than 107 points, topping out just above 12,800 around midday. The index tested its footing in the 12,700 neighborhood after Bernanke took the podium, but ultimately pared its losses to 7.5 points, or 0.06%, to end a second straight session atop its 10-day trendline. Among the Dow's 30 components, Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) paced the 18 advancing equities, tacking on 1.5%, while Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) led the laggards with an earnings-induced slide of 12%.
Elsewhere, the S&P 500 Index (SPX) traded on both sides of breakeven, ultimately finishing with a gain of 0.9 point, or 0.07%, to maintain a perch atop its 200-day moving average. Likewise, the Nasdaq Composite (COMP) erased its intraday deficit in the final minutes of trading, adding 0.6 point, or 0.02%, to notch another win north of its own 10-day trendline.
The CBOE Market Volatility Index (VIX) ended fractionally lower to settle near a session nadir, marking its second consecutive close south of 16.
A Trader's Take
"The markets were greeted with a Moody's downgrade of France, but shook it off rather well," said Schaeffer's Senior Equity Analyst Joe Bell. "After a nice bounce back yesterday, the markets were mixed as we get one day closer to Thanksgiving. With many participants preparing and traveling for the holidays, a decline in volume tomorrow would not be a surprise."
Economic and Earnings News
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke thinks 2013 could be a "very good year" for the U.S. economy -- but only if lawmakers put aside their differences and reach an agreement to sidestep an imminent fiscal disaster, and sooner rather than later.
"While the details of whatever agreement is reached to resolve the fiscal cliff are important, the economic confidence of both market participants and the general public likely will also be influenced by the extent to which our political system proves able to deliver a reasonable solution with a minimum of uncertainty and delay," said Bernanke, addressing the Economic Club of New York. "Finding long-term solutions that can win sufficient political support to be enacted may take some time, but meaningful progress toward this end can be achieved now if policymakers are willing to think creatively and work together constructively."
Housing starts rose 3.6% in October to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 894,000, said the Commerce Department, surging past Thomson Reuters' consensus estimate for a downturn to 840,000. Housing starts haven't climbed that high since July 2008. Meanwhile, building permits declined 2.7% to 866,000, but still exceeded economists' expectations for a dip to 865,000.

Quick Start for Eclipse
Note: If you're using Maven as your build tool you can include Robolectric tests in the same project as your application code without any additional configuration using the Android for Maven Eclipse plugin.
Download JARs
You'll need at least the "robolectric-x.x.x-jar-with-dependencies" jar, which can be obtained here. You may also want the source jar matching your Robolectric version from the same location, in case you run in to any bugs. Also recommended, but not required, is the latest hamcrest-all jar.
Project Creation
Create a project
- File → New → Project… → Android → Android Project
- Click "Next"
New Android Project dialog
- Project/Application Name: MyProject
- Package Name: com.example.myproject
- Target/Compile With: API 18
Make sure to note the package name, as you'll need it later. Target SDK can't currently be set to anything higher than API 18, as Robolectric doesn't yet support API 19.
Add a 'test' directory to your project
- Right click on 'MyProject' in the package explorer → New… → Folder (not Source Folder)
- Folder name: test (do not make this a source folder for this project - hang tight)
- Click "Finish"
Add a 'test' subdirectory under libs
- Right click on 'libs' → New… → Folder (Again, not a source folder)
- Folder name 'test'
- Click "Finish"
Finally, drag and drop/otherwise copy your test-related jar files (robolectric/sources/hamcrest) into the libs/test directory.
Create a JAVA project for your tests
Create and configure test Java project (not an Android Application Project)
- File → New → Java Project…
- Project Name: MyProjectTests
- Under "Project Layout", select "Use project folder as root for sources and class files"
- On Source tab Under "Details", click "Link additional source"
- Browse to and select "…/MyProject/test"
- Click "Finish" on the "Link additional sources" dialog (keep the new Java project dialog open)
Add dependency on the Android project
- Select "Projects" tab at the top of the New Java Project dialog
- Click "Add…"
- Check "MyProject"
- Click "OK"
Add required libraries
- Select "Libraries" tab at the top of the New Java Project dialog
- Robolectric jars
- Click "Add JARS"
- Select all jars from within MyProject/libs/test, then click "OK"
- Android jars
- Click "Add External Jars"
- Navigate to your SDK install directory, then select "platforms/android-xx/android.jar", choosing the API version to match the one you chose for Target when creating the Android project.
- Click "Open" to add android.jar
- JUnit
- Click "Add Library"
- Select JUnit, then click "Next"
- Change the JUnit version to 4 (Robolectric requires JUnit 4), then click "Finish"
Set classpath order
- Select "Order and Export" tab at the top of the New Java Project dialog
- Select android.jar, and move it down so that it appears below the robolectric jars
Click "Finish", closing the new Java project dialog
Most of these settings can be changed later by right-clicking your test project, selecting "Build path" → "Configure Build Path"
Create a test Run Configuration
Your tests will not run without this step; Robolectric will not be able to locate your project resources.
- Click "Run" → "Run Configurations…"
- Double click "JUnit" (not "Android JUnit Test")
- Name: MyProjectTests
- Select the "Run all tests in the selected project, package or source folder:" radio button
- Click the "Search" button
- Select "MyProjectTest"
- Test runner: JUnit 4
- Click on the link "Multiple launchers available Select one…" at the bottom of the dialog
- Check the "Use configuration specific settings" box
- Select "Eclipse JUnit Launcher"
- Click "OK"
- Click the "Arguments" tab
- Under "Working directory:" select the "Other:" radio button
- Click "Workspace…"
- Select "MyProject" (not "MyProjectTest", The value inside of 'Other' edit box should be '${workspace_loc:MyProject}'), then click "OK"
- Click "Apply" then "Close"
Verify your setup
- Right click the "test" source folder under "MyProjectTest"
- Select "New"→"Class"
- Package: "com.example"
- Name: "MainActivityTest" (the name of the default activity created in your Android project suffixed with "test"
- Click "Finish"
- Add the following source:
package com.example.myproject; import org.robolectric.Robolectric; import org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner; import org.junit.Before; import org.junit.Test; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.equalTo; import static org.junit.Assert.assertThat; @RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class) public class MainActivityTest { MainActivity activity; @Before public void setup() { this.activity = Robolectric.buildActivity(MainActivity.class).create().get(); } @Test public void shouldHaveHappySmiles() throws Exception { String hello = this.activity.getString(R.string.hello_world); assertThat(hello, equalTo("Hello world!")); } }
To run the tests
- "Run" → "Run Configurations…"
- Select "JUnit" → "MyProjectTests"
- Click "Run"
The tests may take quite a while to start running after the first launch. Robolectric downloads a real Android jar on the first run, placing it in your local maven repo. Future test runs are considerably faster.
If you get a RuntimeException saying: "no such layout layout/main"
It means that you have tried to run a test for which you do not have a Run Configuration set up. To remedy this:
- Right click on the test
- "Run As" → "Run Configurations…"
- Double click "JUnit" (this will magically make the test you're running appear under JUnit)
- Select "MyActivityTest" (or the name of whichever test you are currently trying to run)
- TestRunner: JUnit 4
- Click on the link "Multiple launchers available Select one…" (or it also may appear as "Using XXX Launcher - Select other…") at the bottom of the dialog
- Check the "Use configuration specific settings" box
- Select "Eclipse JUnit Launcher"
- Click "OK"
- Click the "Arguments" tab
- Under "Working directory:" select the "Other:" radio button
- Click "Workspace…"
- Select "MyProject" (not "MyProjectTest")
- Click "OK"
- Click "Close"

LG is about to release a new phone (codename E906) that runs the Windows Phone operating system. It will also be 'Jil Sander' branded. It's not the first time that LG releases a phone with this type of branding. The LG Prada has released a good while ago and it has seen quite a bit of success.
Earlier, an LG roadmap leaked that showed the LG Fantasy Windows Phone. However, most other phones that LG is working on are Android phones. Nobody saw the Jil Sander phone coming. It just sort of popped up out of nowhere.
It wasn't LG that introduced this phone to the world. Instead, it was Jil Sander itself. The Jil Sander phone has a 3.8" display at a 800 x 480 pixel resolution. The phone is powered by a Qualcomm QSD8650 processor.
Usually, Windows Phones are powered by an MSM8255 processor. But the QSD8650 has been used in other Windows Phones in the past, so it's not completely unexpected.
The LG Jil Sander Windows Phone has 16GB worth of internal storage memory. The storage memory is not an integrated sd card, like most phones have. Instead, it's a bit of eMMC flash memory.
The camera can take pictures at 5 megapixel, but it can also record video at 24 fps at a 720p resolution.
The Jil Sander phone is LG's very first smartphone that runs Windows Phone Mango. It is going to be released in Europe next week. Its price point is unknown at the moment, but we're guessing it's not going to be a budget phone!

Wow, one post on the Google's Webmaster Central blog and it sends the SEO/SEM World into a tizzy! I think Danny's definitely got it right, everyone really needs to Stop The Freak Out!
Google's not out to cut down the small webmaster, or retailer who might exchange links with the Chamber of Commerce, or a retailer organization they belong to. That would be just a bit too much to believe, even for the biggest "conspiracy thinkers".
The point of Google's post, wasn't to send people into a frenzy and to get worked up about those links you get from family and friends or business colleagues. It was to say "Hey, don't think you can buy a bunch of links and fool us." Accumulating links in an unnatural way, is just going to make Google take a good hard long look at a lot of things related to how you got those links.
It's great that Google's communicating with webmasters. Unfortunately everything they put into their blogs is looked at with such a minutia, analyzed, interpreted and regurgitated back to the masses, that by the time it comes back around, it isn't even close to what was originally stated. We have mass hysteria on forums about what "it really means." Analysis about every little thing that Matt Cutts, Vannessa Fox or Adam Lasnik says gets dissected to the upteenth degree that it's really a wonder that these great folks continue to talk to all of us!
Basically, if you are trying to trick the search engines, eventually its going to come back to bite you in the rear. But, if you are honest about your efforts and aren't just concerned with where the links are coming from, but focus more on providing great content, you won't have to worry about those links - they will come.
Isn't that what Steve McQueen did in that Ford Mustang/Track in the Middle of the Cornfield commercial a year or two ago? :)

Scottish stage and screen starJohn Barrowman was awarded an honorary Doctor of Drama degree by the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama today (July 5).
The Glasgow-born Desperate Housewives and Doctor Who star was presented with the accolade in the city today, and said that he was delighted to finally be called Dr Barrowman.
"What's really interesting is that 21 years ago I actually did my first audition for Anything Goes in 1989 here opposite Elaine Paige, got the job and wasn't able to finish my degree, which I was coming over to the UK to get. And here I am 21 years later, I've finally got it," the star told STV, before adding: "You can call me Doctor now!"
The actor continued: "I'm really honoured, I'm really chuffed and I'm glad I'm back up in Scotland and able to celebrate in full highland dress, and celebrate my heritage and get my degree up here."
The singer, actor and musical theatre star can be seen back on TV screens next week when the fourth series of Torchwood kicks off on July 14.
John is also making a welcome return to Glasgow this Christmas alongside The Krankies in the panto Robinson Crusoe and the Caribbean Pirates at the city's SECC.
And it looks like the star, who relocated to the USA as a child, will also be spending some time back in his home country passing on his wisdom to the country's up-and-coming actors.
"I slogged my guts out for 21 years and I did three-and-a-half years of school and didn't finish my degree, so I think I did my groundwork [to gain the honorary degree]. And hopefully I can come to The Academy - or as it's going to be called next year The Conservatoire - and I'm going to come give some master-classes."
Call me Doctor: John Barrowman receives honorary drama degree

Re: The Official James McAvoy/Professor Xavier Thread
I will expect there will still a be a noticeable difference, especially with a ten year gap. I'm just not sure the style of the movie will be a world away from First Class.
There will likely be some elements of the original trilogy, especially with the scenes with the future versions of the characters, but I think we'll still see a lot of the style of FC with Fassbender, McAvoy and co. since both Vaughn and Singer were involved in that movie, just in different positions.
Lady Luck is smiling at me. She knows something I don't.
My worst fear:
When I die all I see is a sign saying '
level 2
'. Which means I have to live all of this all over again. Only on a higher difficulty setting.

The Man Who Planted Trees
French cover
Author | Jean Giono |
Original title | L'homme qui plantait des arbres |
Genre | Fiction |
Publication date
1953 |
The Man Who Planted Trees (French title L'homme qui plantait des arbres), also known as The Story of Elzéard Bouffier, The Most Extraordinary Character I Ever Met, and The Man Who Planted Hope and Reaped Happiness, is an allegorical tale by French author Jean Giono, published in 1953.
It tells the story of one shepherd's long and successful singlehanded effort to re-forest a desolate valley in the foothills of the Alps in Provence throughout the first half of the 20th century. The tale is quite short—only about 4000 words long. It was composed in French, but first published in English.
The story begins in the year 1913, when this young man is undertaking a lone hiking trip through Provence, France, and into the Alps, enjoying the relatively unspoiled wilderness.
The narrator runs out of water in a treeless, desolate valley where only wild lavender grows and there is no trace of civilization except old, empty crumbling buildings. The narrator finds only a dried up well, but is saved by a middle-aged shepherd who takes him to a spring he knows of.
Curious about this man and why he has chosen such a lonely life, the narrator stays with him for a time. The shepherd, after being widowed, has decided to restore the ruined landscape of the isolated and largely abandoned valley by single-handedly cultivating a forest, tree by tree. The shepherd, Elzéard Bouffier, makes holes in the ground with his curling pole and drops into the holes acorns that he has collected from many miles away.
The narrator leaves the shepherd and returns home, and later fights in the First World War. In 1920, shell-shocked and depressed after the war, the man returns. He is surprised to see young saplings of all forms taking root in the valley, and new streams running through it where the shepherd has made dams higher up in the mountain. The narrator makes a full recovery in the peace and beauty of the regrowing valley, and continues to visit Bouffier every year. Bouffier is no longer a shepherd, because he is worried about the sheep affecting his young trees, and has become a bee keeper instead.
Over four decades, Bouffier continues to plant trees, and the valley is turned into a kind of Garden of Eden. By the end of the story, the valley is vibrant with life and is peacefully settled. The valley receives official protection after the First World War. (the authorities mistakenly believe that the rapid growth of this forest is a bizarre natural phenomenon, as they are unaware of Bouffier's selfless deeds), and more than 10,000 people move there, all of them unknowingly owing their happiness to Bouffier. The narrator tells one of his friends in the government the truth about the natural forest, and the friend also helps protect the forest.
The narrator visits the now very old Bouffier one last time in 1945. In a hospice in Banon, in 1947, the man who planted trees peacefully passes away.
A true story?[edit]
Wikisource has original text related to this article: |
The story itself is so touching that many readers have believed that Elzéard Bouffier was a genuine historical figure and that the narrator of the story was a young Jean Giono himself, and that the tale is part autobiographical. Certainly, Giono lived during this time. While he was alive, Giono enjoyed allowing people to believe that the story was real, and considered it as a tribute to his skill. His daughter, Aline Giono, described it as "a family story for a long time". However, Giono himself explained in a 1957 letter to an official of the city of Digne:
Sorry to disappoint you, but Elzéard Bouffier is a fictional person. The goal was to make trees likeable, or more specifically, make planting trees likeable.
In the letter, he describes how the book was translated in a multitude of languages, distributed freely, and therefore was a success. He adds that, although "it does not bring me a cent", it is one of the texts of which he is most proud.
Real-life counterparts[edit]
Real-life people in other countries have produced similar effects. Ma, Yongshun[1] (马永顺) (1914-2000), a forestry worker who, during his career, chopped down 36,500 trees for China's development, single-handedly planted more than 35,500 trees since the 1960s. Each spring he would plant trees using his free time before work, after work, during lunch time, and after his retirement. Later, at the age of 78 he recruited the help of his family and thus he was able to fully fulfill his promise to the mountain by planting, in total, more than 50,000 trees. By 1996 he had built a breeding base for trees of high quality. He had inspired many people to help the environment and had taught many people to plant trees (his students' tree planting efforts have a success rate of 95%).[2] Abdul Kareem[3] of Parappa village in Kasaragod, Kerala, India created a 32 acre forest out of nothing over a period of 19 years, using the same method as Bouffier.[4][5] Another man, Jadav Payeng, planted a forest sprawling 1,360 acres, calling it the Molai forest, in Assam, India.[6][7][8][9][10] In Taiwan, Lai Pei-yuan started to plant trees since 1986, buying lands and tree seeds using his own personal wealth, and has planted over 270,000 deep-rooted trees.[11] [12] An organization called Trees for the Future has assisted more than 170,000 families, in 6,800 villages of Asia, Africa, and the Americas, to plant over 35 million trees.[13] Wangari Maathai, 2004 Nobel Peace Prize recipient, founded the Green Belt Movement which planted over 47 million trees to restore the Kenyan environment.[14] Shanghai Roots & Shoots, a division of the Jane Goodall Institute, launched The Million Tree Project in Kulun Qi, Inner Mongolia to plant one million trees to stop desertification and alleviate global warming.[15][16]
The character of Bouffier has some similarity to the legendary early 19th century American tree planter Johnny Appleseed. Another tireless promoter of tree-planting is Marthinus Daneel, PhD, Professor of African studies at Boston University and founder of ZIRRCON (Zimbabwean Institute of Religious Research and Ecological Conservation). Daneel has worked with churches for years planting millions of trees in Zimbabwe. Due to instability in Zimbabwe in recent years, such efforts have been significantly curtailed. Similarly, concerned about global warming, Bhausaheb Thorat planted 45 million seeds after being inspired by the book. For this he started the Dandakaranya Abhiyaan in June 2006 at Sangamner, Maharashtra, India (Sangamner is on Pune-Nasik highway). UNEP has taken notice of this campaign in its A Billion Tree Campaign in which almost 45 million seedlings have been planted.[17] Harmony magazine's Tina Anil Ambani has an article on Bhausaheb Thorat's global warming awareness efforts and his Dandakaranya Abhiyaan in the December 2008 edition.[18]
Film, TV or theatrical adaptations[edit]
- It was adapted as an animated short by Frédéric Back and released in 1987. It earned a number of awards including an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.
- In 2006, it was adapted for the stage and puppets by Richard Medrington of "Puppet State Theatre Company"[19] in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Spoken word recordings[edit]
In 1985 the Paul Winter Consort recorded an album with Robert J. Lurtsema as the narrator. It was made into a book-on-tape in 1990 by Earth Music Productions. In 1992, the American radio show "Hearts of Space" did a musically-accompanied reading (episode 290, first aired on 15May1992) with narration by Robert J. Lurtsema. It has also been recorded for BBC Radio 4 with Bill Paterson narrating.
Related works[edit]
The original book has inspired a 2012 book on the same theme: The Man Who Planted Trees: Lost Groves, Champion Trees, and an Urgent Plan to Save the Planet by Jim Robbins. Robbins work cites Giono's work and goes on to consider the modern-day work of David Milarch, a Michigan nurseryman. [20]

The thyroid gland develops from two distinct embryonic lineages: follicular cells (which produce thyroxine) and parafollicular C-cells (which produce calcitonin) are of endodermal and neural crest origin, respectively. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms governing the generation of these different cell types. Mice lacking the transcription factor Ttf1 lack both cell types and thus are unable to develop a thyroid gland. By analysis of Pax8-/- mice, we demonstrate that Pax8 is required for the formation of the follicular cells in the thyroid. We present evidence that Pax8 is necessary for providing cues for the differentiation of competent endoderm primordia into thyroxin-producing follicular cells.

Order in all-classes.js wrong on app build
Order in all-classes.js wrong on app build
Hi there,
I experience strange behavior with the app build. the compiled all-classes.js has a wrong order and puts a Ext.define before it creates the Ext object... This is happening in a more complex app where I migrated the skeleton from a generate app command... It is building fine in the skeleton itself...
PHP Code:Ext.define("Ext.data.ResultSet", { loaded: true, count: 0, total: 0, success: false, constructor: function(a) { Ext.apply(this, a); this.totalRecords = this.total; if (a.count === undefined) { this.count = this.records.length } }});var Ext = Ext || {};Ext._startTime = new Date().getTime();

Taylor keeps focus on fitness fight
Transfer-listed Newcastle defender Steven Taylor insists he is only concentrating on getting back to fitness - and is ignoring speculation. The 24-year-old central defender is out of contract at the end of the season, and at the moment he would be free to open talks with any potential new employers in January. Newcastle are keen not to lose him for nothing, and although talks are set to continue, they decided to list him. Now Manchester City are being strongly linked with a move for Taylor, who is sidelined with a shoulder injury he picked up in pre-season. But despite the speculation about his future, Taylor insists he only wants to regain his fitness and play again. "All I am doing is concentrating on getting myself fit and making myself available for selection," Taylor told The People. Taylor has been included in Newcastle's Premier League squad, after some reports claimed he may be left out.

Imadori acting all cool as the accidental rescuer with the last second stupid act to pull the manga from hopeless cheesy romance to funny SR comedy. That last panel is priceless, mr college guy doesn't know what he is getting himself into. > Hurrah for apple juice!!!
On another note. I don't know if its good or bad that Lala ditched imadori for padre. I mean its Imadori so no loss on walking out on him but walking out on a guy for her dad is a bit......
I would've liked the Imadori and Lala to have gone on just a bit more, I was really beginning to get into Lala's soft side, but then again chances are we probably would've have seen much more being developed from that.

Sheriff: Florida man arrested for 'cleaning up the neighborhood'
POSTED: Saturday, August 11, 2012 - 6:00am
UPDATED: Saturday, August 11, 2012 - 6:04am
Stuart, FL (WPTV) — A Stuart man was arrested this morning, charged with the theft of 57 campaign signs in Martin County.
Deputies say Nicholas Joseph Caputo, 23, removed signs from three locations and put them in the back of his truck in an attempt to "clean up the neighborhood."
A Martin County sheriff's deputy stopped Caputo after observing his vehicle parked on the side of Federal Highway in Stuart.
After the deputy noticed the campaign signs, Caputo said he didn't think it was right for the signs to be out because he considered it littering, according to an arrest affidavit.
Caputo told the deputy he had no political agenda, and didn't collect any particular sign over the other. The signs are from 18 different candidates, the incident report stated.
Caputo was charged with 57 counts of theft and is currently in the Martin County Jail.
According to deputies, the small signs are valued at about $10, while the larger signs are worth about $20.
Caputo's bond has been set at $14,250.
Candidates have been notified that signs are available for pick-up at the sheriff's office, according to deputies.

Smart-grid group gains Google
The tech giant joins industry group that promotes products for home energy-monitoring and making the power grid more efficient during peak times with software.
Google on Thursday joined a smart-grid trade association that promotes energy efficiency in the power grid and home-energy monitoring.
The group, called Demand Response and Smart Grid Coalition (DRSG), includes companies that manufacture networked electricity meters and software for sharing information between consumers and utilities.
Google is increasingly active in the energy business. Through its Google.org philanthropy, it has invested in a few clean-energy ventures.
In September, it announced a partnership with General Electric to lobby for clean-energy policies and to develop smart-grid software.
GE makes smart-grid hardware and software, products that let consumers participate in utility-sponsored energy-efficiency programs. A homeowner could, for example, schedule the dishwasher to run at off-peak times or have the thermostat adjusted.
There are a number of companies that makes software and gadgets for viewing home energy use, a product area where Google has yet to launch a product.
The other technology that the DRSG focuses on is demand response. Demand-response companies create software to dial down energy use at homes or businesses during peak times.
By lowering the lights at a supermarket during the day, for example, utilities can avoid having to turn on expensive and dirty "peaker" power plants. Businesses are paid for participating in these programs.
Demand response is another area that outsiders have speculated that Google could enter.
Other companies to join the DRSG on Thursday include demand-response company CPower (formerly called ConsumerPowerline), energy services firm Conservation Services Group, and smart -meter provider Corporate Systems Engineering.

My favourite part of these bars is the caramel frosting. I took some suggestions and doubled the recipe so it was nice and thick! This frosting/glaze is so good that I plan on using it on other recipes for some layer cakes or even a plain brownie. The flavour is so rich and buttery. It reminds me of the caramel glaze some donuts are drizzled with, only 10x better because this is made from scratch. The beautiful light tan caramel frosting is the perfect match for the appley ( is that a word? ) bars.
When you eat these you first notice how moist they are. You can feel the tiny pockets and holes that the crushed apple and nuts are nestled into. The cinnamon and all spice are very subtle but they add a lovely light spicey kiss to the overall flavour. The frosting almost melts into the bars while you are chewing on a bite. The caramel take the apples, nuts, and cinnamon on a sweet waltz through your taste buds. If it were in season, Some hot, mulled cider would be the perfect companion to these bars. You can find the recipe in Dorie Greenspan's cookbook Baking: From My Home to Yours. Or you can visit Something Sweet by Karen.

text: My boat trailer axle failed leaving me stranded at Flagler Beach with one wheel and tire jammed into the frame and fender so it would not turn. Dave, the truck operator, arrived a little later than I was told he would but that's understandable in the towing business. He did a masterful job of loading my boat and trailer onto his flatbed truck. It was a difficult task because with one wheel locked up, it did not want to track straight up onto the truck. Dave handled the problem with great expertise using hooks and chains on the winch cable to make the trailer load properly even with one locked wheel. He was friendly and courteous the whole time. When we got to my house, he spotted the trailer perfectly in my garage so I could repair it. You can see my video of it on youtube.com if you do a search for sradie.
