...looks in an attempt to expand their customer base and achieve mega-brand status along the lines of Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger. Jay-Z, who founded Rocawear with Damon Dash, even sang about the sartorial shift: "I don't wear jerseys, I'm 30-plus./Give me a crisp pair of jeans ... Button up." (Concertgoers quickly followed his lead, he says.) Dash, Rocawear's CEO, isn't a fan of the new trend. "This is the dress-shirt winter. I'll just stay warm and still while that winter blows by," he says. But he knows dressier styles...

Gozleme is tangier than an Indian paratha, more robust than a French crepe and altogether delicious. Cappadocians eat gozleme for breakfast, lunch and dinner (usually with a refreshing glass of ayran, a frothy yogurt drink). Newer restaurants in the area offer variants stuffed with eggplant or mushrooms. While purists scoff...
...career, understand traffic safety and navigate the perils of obesity and school violence. The chic attire of the bead-business owners turned out to be an exception. At the group's national convention in Chicago in July, lots of the 5,000 boys and girls were decked out in crisp red blazers and power ties, many of them dying to show off their skills in "extreme leadership events," such as running faux business meetings and going through mock job interviews as prospective employees. Bottom line: you can excel at home ec these days without preheating an oven...
