Cincinnati's central core includes some of the city's most walkable and dynamic neighborhoods. College kids and professionals have Clifton buzzing during weekdays; progressive families and a large LGBT community keep Northside friendly and independent; and in College Hill, North College Hill and Mount Healthy, families and longtime residents enjoy their neighborhoods' quaintness and charm. These parts of town are connected, running north from Over-the-Rhine straight through the city's most progressive and multicultural communities.CLIFTON
- GLOBAL GOURMAND — This part of town is a hub for ethnic foods. For a taste of casual global with a focus on homemade soups, head to Myra's Dionysus (121 Calhoun St., myrasrestaurant.com). In the mood for Asian? Visit the efficient Maki Express sushi bar and Japanese kitchen (209 W. McMillan St., makiexpress.tripod.com) or Cilantro (235 W. McMillan St., eatatcilantro.com), a Vietnamese bistro that uses family recipes. For Indian, head to the Gaslight District: Among other nearby choices, local favorites Ambar (350 Ludlow Ave., ambarindia.com) and Amol (354 Ludlow Ave., 513-961-3600) are basically conjoined. Gyro joints Mediterranean Foods (314 Ludlow Ave., mediterranean-clifton.com) and Chicago Gyro (201 W. McMillan Ave., 513-621-3828) offer fast falafel. And for a taste of history, Mecklenburg Gardens (302 E. University Ave., mecklenburgs.net), which has been in Corryville since 1865, offers German fare with an outdoor biergarten.
- CINCINNATI CLASSIC CUISINE — Along Ludlow Avenue you'll find Cincinnati staples Graeter's ice cream (332 Ludlow Ave., graeters.com) and Skyline Chili (290 Ludlow Ave., skylinechili.com), plus local, fresh pizza chain Dewey's Pizza (265 Hosea Ave., deweyspizza.com).

McMillan St., macspizzapub.com) or grab a cheap beer and a Cafe de Wheels burger at Dive Bar (2608 Vine St., facebook.com/divebarcincinnati).

The new U Square @ the Loop (usquareattheloop.com) is a mixed-use development with drinking, dining and shopping destinations including the St. Clair (249 Calhoun St., thestclair.com) bar, which has DJs, a terrace and a specialty rum drink called "The Pain Killer." Attached to it is the Keystone Bar & Grill's Clifton location (249 Calhoun St., keystonebar.com).
- COFFEE SHOPS — Bohemian coffee houses with lite bites and alcohol abound around campus. Baba Budan's (239 W. McMillan St., facebook.com/baba4java) features live music and open mic nights; Sitwell's (324 Ludlow Ave., sitwellscoffeehouse.com) has been a Cincinnati staple for 16 years with mismatched furniture, unique artwork, vegetarian food options and great shakes; and for the Kerouac in all of us, there's Highland Coffee House (2839 Highland Ave., 513-861-4151), full of plants, pianos, board games and an eclectic mix of artists and students. The Rohs Street Café (245 W. McMillan St., rohsstreetcafe.com) serves fair trade and organically grown coffee, and is funded by the University Christian Church.
- PUBLIC ZOO AND PARKS — The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden (3400 Vine St., cincinnatizoo.org) houses the oldest zoo building in the nation: a reptile house that was built in 1875.
It's also home to the Base Camp Café, the greenest restaurant in America, and a brand new Africa exhibit with roaming lions. Pay a visit to Mount Storm Park's (700 Lafayette Ave., cincinnatiparks.com) 19th-century Temple of Love gazebo or the 90-acre Burnet Woods (3251 Brookline Ave., cincinnatiparks.com) with a playground, large lake and the Wolff Planetarium inside the Trailside Nature Center.
- TOUR THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI —The University of Cincinnati campus (2600 Clifton Ave., uc.edu), home to the renowned college of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning, includes two buildings designed by Pritzker Prize winners and the school's 110-year-old football stadium, which is the fourth-oldest playing site in college football.

- ALTERNATIVE ENTERTAINMENT — Catch a movie and grab a glass of wine at art house theater the Esquire Theatre (320 Ludlow Ave., esquiretheatre.com). The Mad Frog (1 E. McMillan St., themadfrog.net) is a bar and club with a relaxed, hippie slant, featuring live music, a patio and Tropical Nights on Mondays with free Salsa dancing lessons. For something more mainstream but still alternative, head to Bogart's (2621 Vine St., bogarts.com). This iconic Rock venue has been part of the Short Vine neighborhood landscape since the 1890s, when it was originally built as a vaudeville theater. Today it hosts a slew of national live music acts. Also on Short Vine, check out the artistic renaissance of ArtBeat (facebook.com/artbeatonshortvine), a monthly art walk from 5-10 p.m. the first Friday of the month.
Originally a wealthy suburb called Pleasant Hill based on its prime location, College Hill was renamed because of the two colleges that were established there in the mid-19th century. The neighborhood is not to be confused with North College Hill, which borders College Hill to the north but is not part of Cincinnati, or Mount Healthy, which is along the same stretch of the city. Mount Healthy was founded in 1817 under the name Mount Pleasant but was happily renamed after many citizens survived a cholera epidemic in 1850.
- CASUAL DINING —Find great barbecue and soul food at Goodies BBQ (5841 Hamilton Ave., 513-542-4663), with sauce so good it's bottled and sold at local stores, or Pit to Plate (8021 Hamilton Ave., 513-931-9100). Bacalls Café (6118 Hamilton Ave., bacallscafe.com) has been "the grill next door" since 1982. Chung Ching (5842 Hamilton Ave., 513-541-1243) is an old-school mom-and-pop Chinese restaurant.
- INTERESTING LIBATIONS — The motto of College Hill Coffee Co. and Casual Gourmet (6128 Hamilton Ave., collegehillcoffeeco.com) is "eat, sip, chat, chill." Find homemade foods and free Wi-Fi in this bright, welcoming coffee shop. Marty's Hops & Vines (6110 Hamilton Ave., martys-hopsandvines.com) offers a small plate menu, live music performances and great vino with a wine tasting on Friday nights. And Burnet Ridge Winery (6721 Richard Ave., burnetridge.com) is up the street in North College Hill making award-winning wines and blends.
- SWEET SPOTS — North College Hill Bakery (1807 W. Galbraith Road, northcollegehillbakery.com) has been serving tasty treats for more than 75 years, specializing in delicious cakes. And in another success story, the Little Dutch Bakery (7611 Hamilton Ave., littledutchbakery.com) is an award-winning family bakery with cookies, cakes, Danishes, homemade bread and more. The Mount Healthy Dairy Bar (7840 Hamilton Ave., 513-522-1288) serves up classic creamy whip soft serve.
- HISTORY — The Mount Healthy Historical Society's (1546 McMakin Ave., mthealthyhistory.org) museum is housed in the Free Meeting House, an old brick building used to exhibit historical items and the Toll House, built in 1859. Both are open for tours. Walking through the historic glass greenhouses of the fifth-generation AJ Rahn Green House (4944 Gray Road, ajrahngreenhouses.com) is almost like walking through a Victorian plant conservatory.
A little bit hippie and a little bit Rock n' Roll, Northside is a green-leaning urban enclave of artists, musicians, do-it-yourselfers, hipsters and a prominent LGBTQ community. The main drag of Hamilton Avenue is all about local, indie and cool, with vintage boutiques, owner-operated salons, record stores, bustling weekly farmers market and plenty of local Rock and Bluegrass clubs.
- TACO CRAZY — Northside has jumped on the Mexican street food/taco bandwagon with three taco options located on basically the same street, so you can nosh your way down the block. Blending American with Tex-Mex, Django Western Taco (4046 Hamilton Ave., djangonorthside.com) offers taco fillings such as shrimp or veggie with soy chorizo, interesting entrees including the Sheriff's Stone Bowl with egg served in a stone bowl and a tangy margarita made with jalapeno. Tacocracy (4029 Hamilton Ave., facebook.com/tacocracy), located in the Northside International Airport storefront, is an eclectic taco bar offering guerilla-style filling options including duck, adobo-curry chicken, mashed potatoes and more. And Barrio Tequileria (3937 Spring Grove Ave., facebook.com/barriotequileria) offers authentic-style tacos with more than 70 tequilas and one of the best guacamoles.
- FOCUS ON VEGETARIAN, VEGAN AND ORGANIC — The neighborhood also boasts some of the best vegetarian/vegan food options at eateries like sandwich shop Melt Eclectic Cafe (4165 Hamilton Ave., meltcincy.com) and sister store Picnic and Pantry (4163 Hamilton Ave., picnicandpantry.com), offering essential groceries from local and whole food providers and sandwiches and "picnic" items to go; or Take the Cake (4035 Hamilton Ave., takethecakecincinnati.com), a bakery that also offers seasonal, ever-changing lunch and brunch options, served at communal tables. And if you just want to make some food yourself, stop by the ever-popular year-round Wednesday Northside Farmers Market (mid-May-October: Jacob Hoffner Park, 4101 Hamilton Ave.; winter: North Presbyterian Church, 4222 Hamilton Ave., northside.net).
- ROCK N' ROLL — The power trio of bars — Northside Tavern, Mayday and The Comet — ensure that there's live music practically every night. Head to the Northside Tavern (4163 Hamilton Ave., northsidetav.com), or "the Tavern," as locals call it, for an evening on their large patio and more laid-back live acts. The Comet (4579 Hamilton Ave., cometbar.com) leans a little louder as a haven for scooter-riding, Garage Rock-loving burrito eaters. And Mayday (4227-4231 Spring Grove Ave., maydaynorthside.com) caters to a slightly younger crowd with themed DJ and dance nights, comedy open-mic, gourmet hotdogs and an excellent whisky selection. Northside is also home to indie record stores Shake It Records (4156 Hamilton Ave., shakeitrecords.com), a store and label with live in-store performances by national and international musical acts, and the new Black Plastic Records (4027 Hamilton Ave., facebook.com/blackplasticrecords) offering thousands of records in a fun, dig-for-it vinyl treasure trove.
- CHILD-FRIENDLY — Family is a focus here. Happen Inc. (4201 Hamilton Ave., happeninc.org) is a nonprofit arts organization for adults and children to explore art together through classes and projects. Tantrum (4183 Hamilton Ave., facebook.com/tantrumnorthside) offers toys, clothing, scarves, body care, baby products, gifts and more for the urban family. And the Cincinnati Family Enrichment Center (4244 Hamilton Ave., theplaceforfamilies.com) offers classes for parents and children as well as a Play Café.
- VERY VINTAGE AND DIY — The 'hood to go for DIY, indie and vintage. Fabricate (4037 Hamilton Ave., fabnorthside.com) and MarketSide Mercantile (4170 Hamilton Ave., 513-967-2026) both feature locally handmade and upcycled items, redesigned furniture and earth-friendly homegoods. Chicken Lays an Egg (1608 Chase Ave., facebook.com/chickenlaysanegg) offers eccentric neon-and-sequins vintage, Casablanca Vintage (3994 Spring Grove Ave., casablancavintage.com) is a little more classic and offers top-quality shoe repair services via Awesome Time Shoe Repair and NVISION (4577 Hamilton Ave., nvisionshop.com) is groovy and eclectic with a variety of homegoods. The Northside International Airport (4029 Hamilton Ave., 513-541-5999) is a collection of stores, a gallery in a bathroom and restaurant. Inside the "airport" you'll find On the Prowl Vintage (facebook.com/ontheprowlvintage) and beauty apothecary Blink Makeup Studio (facebook.com/blinkmakeupstudio).
- GET OUTSIDE — Stroll through Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum's (521 Spring Grove Ave., springgrove.org) 733-acre grounds, full of trees, lakes and winding pathways. Established as a nonprofit cemetery in 1845, famous Cincinnati families such as the Tafts, Krogers and Procters have found final resting places here. Head just outside the neighborhood border to 1,500-acre Mount Airy Forest (5083 Colerain Ave., cincinnatiparks.com), which includes the Mount Airy Arboretum with more than 5,000 plants representing 1,600 species of varieties of deciduous trees, shrubs and evergreens.
- CAMP WASHINGTON — Located between Clifton and Northside is Camp Washington (camp-washington.org), established in 1846. Classic chili parlor and '50s-style diner, Camp Washington Chili (3005 Colerain Ave., campwashingtonchili.com), has won awards for being some of the best chili in the nation as well as an "American Regional Classic" award from the James Beard Foundation. If you're in need of costumes or other theatrical supply, Schenz Theatrical Supply (2959 Colerain Ave., schenz.com) — easily identified by the giant gorilla on top of the sign — has more than 40 years of experience. The American Sign Museum (1330 Monmouth Ave., signmuseum.org) has more than 200 preserved, archived and displayed signs ranging from the late 19th century to the 1970s. See gold leaf signs, neon, fiberglass and more in this huge museum.

Dark brown, almost black in appearance with a finger of tan head and no retention. There is a mild nose of roasted malt, but it is nothing that really socks your nasal passages. There is a light roasted malt flavor upfront and a but of hoppiness in the finish, but this is awful thin for such a high alcohol beer.
The biggest disappointment is that there were no coffee notes apparent at all. Not much classic stout roasted bitterness either.

First! On-tap at Beachwood BBQ, on to the beer:
Pitch black body with a solid retenting head and good formation of lace. The coffee, while mild, is easy to find, but the surprise are the chile notes that I found. A little more is discovered in its taste. Along with the mild chile and good dose of coffee which dominates, there's a backbone of semi-sweet chocolate. Its medium (malty) body helps leaves a little residue around the lips.
One more solid beer to come from the cult favorite Lost Coast. The chile character is a fun aspect which seperates this from the typical coffee stout.

I have been bringing this up over the past few weeks in regards to HBO. Their whole "the megafight is ours" attitude is leading to their demise.
1. Public display of nuthuggery (that word makes me laugh every time I hear it)
2. Putting waaay too much stock into network fighter that they "believe" will raise their ratings
3. Bad matchmaking
4. Lackluster performances in overhyped fights
5. 24/7 series is hit and miss
What I've seen from Showtime as of late, is great fights. Not sure if Im the only one who notices this, but it seems like fighters on that network, dont have this big fuckin' cloud of fighting to "measure up" against the expectations of the megafight.
On HBO, you have guy fighting in this "delusionally competitive" manner, and hoping to shine since this IS the "mgeafight" network. Guys are either overmatched and end up not living up to the hype, or they fight so cautiously (with bigger fights in mind) that they put on lackluster performances.
HBO is hanging on to the whole idea of this fight happening on their network, and they're slowly killing the network. Mind you, I watch EVERY fight that airs, regardless of the station, but watching Showtime gives me this feeling of relief, sort of like the weekend...no more answering phones, working with idiot coworkers & customers, no more listening to the same shit...you actually have a breather from the nonsense.
One more thing, has anybody noticed lesser known guys becoming upset artists and bigger names on Showtime? Think about it...
1. Back in 2010, Salido was fed to Gamboa to make him look good, but he fought Lopez on Showtime and became the man overnight.
2. Josesito Lopez (sp) was fed to Jessie Vargas to help Jessie become a star (and almost kicked his ass) and was totally forgotten about, but got an Ortiz bout in Showtime and scored an upset.
3. Ward was overlooked on HBO, and got dates on Showtime...now look at him.
4. Quillin was overlooked on HBO, but got a date on a decent card on Showtime. He was supposed to be in the FMJ/Cotto card, but nobody wanted to see it.
Thoughts? Anything to add?

If Showtime's cameras were as good as HBO, and they had Michael Buffer, they could freeze HBO out completely lol Is it me or does HBO fights just come out clearer and crisper on TV? Soemthing about the lighting. Epix is the absolute worst in that regards. Also, so wat you will, but a megafight isn't a megafight to me without Michael Buffer.

Valencia traded to Toronto
The Blue Jays provided some much-needed balance to their lineup Monday afternoon by acquiring infielder Danny Valencia from the Royals in a deal for catcher Erik Kratz and right-hander Liam Hendriks.
Toronto's batting order is predominantly left-handed and there's a void on the right side, especially while Edwin Encarnacion and Brett Lawrie are on the disabled list.
General manager Alex Anthopoulos attempted to help fix that, and while the trade is relatively minor in the grand scheme of ...Read More...

Full Count » Tim Kurkjian on MFB: 'I'm going to say that Jon Lester is not going to be traded'
I don't agree with Kurkjian. As long as the Red Sox continue to sell their moves as an attempt to get a lot better next year and in the future, they will be fine with most of their paying customers. This is especially true with Lester, who could very well be traded away for two months and end up back here in next season. Winning three World Series, with one coming just last year, buys you more latitude not less.

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Blinds Bali Cellular Shades Bali Light Filtering 3/8" Double Cell Solitaire II 3/8" Double Cell Shades:
The continuous loop lifting system is the best. I have used the standard lifting system and the blinds were not horizontal when raised. I have also used the cordless system and depending on your location this system is also acceptable.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We love our blinds!
By Homeowner Rob
from Tinley Park, IL
We love our Bali blinds. The no cord, bottom up, top down feature is great. We can have light and privacy at the same time by opening them from the top yet still have the option of a great view by opening them from the bottom. They were easy to install and look great.

By Mary the shopper

We live in a cold northeast climate and I was looking to replace some bali single cell cellular shades with the double cell to help with retaining heat in the winter. Our kitchen is on the north side of our house which gets very cold in winter. These blinds came very quickly, were easy to install and look great in our kitchen. The quality is very good. The only issue I had was I ordered one of them a bit too long. The blind I ordered for the door in the kitchen was the perfect length. I had never ordered blinds online before so I was a bit nervous when I did this. I was pleasantly surprised. I would recommend this company and these blinds.

By Kitty girl

I would not purchase another shade with the continuous loop cord. The continuous cord broke within the first year. Shade gets stuck at a certain point when closing it. However, the standard shades we purchased look and work great!

By CindyLou
from Pennsylvania
These blinds are absolutely perfect. Easy to install, and look great. I would recommend these Bali blinds. Very lightweight. I previously purchases basically same type of Levolor Blinds, and they are much heavier. These Bali blinds were almost 3 times the price in a local store. I would buy from Steve's blinds again.

Just what I wanted!
By BDK
from Iowa
I am a very satisfied repeat customer. The quality of the blinds, fit,and appearance is perfect for my newly built house. I put them in 5 windows, and love the cordless look. One thing with the cordless blind, is that when you push it up, it may be slightly uneven when retracted. You just have to be careful that you lift with the handle evenly. It is easily fixed by pulling the shade back down and start over pushing it up.
By Mom247

We replaced old roller shades that I've despised since moving in... These blinds have totally changed the room! The room doesn't feel so dark & dated anymore.
so far so good
By Mare
from Dothan, Al
We bought one a month ago to see what the quailty was like. No Complaints and what a savings! We just received 4 more but have not had a chance to put them in the vacation home yet. Will let you know . I have to hope they are as good as the first. If all goes well, I would not hesitate to keep ordering. No store hassles and the price is right.
Fits perfectly, looks great.
By OP Dave
Excellent instructions on the web site resulted in blinds which fit our custom-size replacement windows perfectly.
Nice but not perfect
By Truthunter
from Orange County, NY
I bought three of these for a triple double hung window in our living room. I would have liked to get all three on one headrail but learned no one manufactures 3on1 with cordless top down bottom up (TDBU). I looked at the fabrics and mechanisms (at the local big box stores) and liked the fabric/color choices on the Bali best but the Levelor and Comfortex seamed to have smoother quieter cordless TDBU mechanisms. In the end we decided the fabric was more important than the mechanism. The Bali cordless TDBU mechanism functions perfectly... it is just a little noiser sounding than the others making it seam less smooth. I found the fabric on the other brands to be thin and felt like paper. The fabric on the Bali Solitaire II feels much thicker and seams more durable. I noticed is very small scratches in the paint coating on the ends of the aluminum bottom and top rails... not noticeable unless your really looking for them. We really love the way they filter the light when the sun shines through them. It makes the room look warm and rich.

M & B and Levolor do not charge oversized freight. Shutters have a freight charge due to the weight of the product. Most blind orders ship within 3 to 5 business days.

She also participates in the Intercollegiate Dressage Association (IDA) and Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) clubs.

Priestfield West is a small-scale horse farm in which Johnson assisted with chores, managed the employees, assisted with pasture rotation and the daily care of horses. She was also responsible for client, employee and management interrelations. Additionally, she developed a record system for the facility to use when interacting with veterinarians and farriers.
Throughout Johnson's internship with the Lake County Council on Aging, she has coordinated and publicized all of the Wednesday evening speakers and monthly programs. In addition to media relations, she was responsible for assisting with marketing plans and the marketing campaign, while also writing articles for the quarterly newspaper.
The Lake Erie College Intern of the Month program is designed to recognize students who have utilized internship opportunities and gained useful knowledge and experience from those endeavors. The program also serves to promote the merits of internships.
Intern of the Month recipients, in addition to their positive intern credentials, should be of high moral and ethical character and in good standing with all facets of the Lake Erie College community.

Ranch Main Street eateries wage BBQ battle
Date: June 24, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
LAKEWOOD RANCH — Watch out, Lakewood Ranch: A battle of epic proportions is about to ensue.
Restaurants on Lakewood Ranch Main Street will sizzle during the first Main Street Restaurant Cook-Off at 3 p.m., June 27. Guests on Main Street will have a chance to sample barbecue-style dishes created Main Street's restaurants and then vote for their favorite.
"It's just to generate some more people, new visitors to Main Street," event co-organizer and MacAllisters Grill & Tavern owner Karen Ronney said. "The restaurants have really gotten excited about competition part. That's something that is new."
Restaurant owners already have rolled up their sleeves to create some mouth-watering experiences. For example, MacAllisters Grill & Tavern will offer a marinated beef with salsa, while Polo Grill and Bar will offer ribs. Ed's Tavern will offer pulled pork for sampling and for purchase.
The winner will be announced around 7 p.m., and the winning restaurant will receive a trophy and a year's worth of bragging rights.
The cook-off also will include festivities such as pony rides and face painting, children's games, samplings from future Main Street merchants Big Olaf Creamery and Good Earth Natural Foods and live music by The Rum Runners.
"There's never an awful lot of events in the summer, and there's a lot of people who live in Lakewood Ranch all year round," said Ronney, who co-sponsored the event with Ed's Tavern owner John Breiner and Lakewood Ranch. "We wanted to do something where people could come out with their family. Main Street is perfect for hosting a big family event."
Beer and food sales from the event will benefit Veterans of Foreign Wars Braden River Post 12055, a veterans group that supports a regiment currently deployed in Afghanistan with needed personal items.
Ronney said she hopes to make the cook-off an annual event.
Entrance to the cook-off is free. Attendees are welcome to bring chairs, but no coolers are allowed. Dogs are allowed but must be kept on a short leash. Overflow parking will be available at the Lakewood Ranch Medical Center.

Very sad and sounds like everyone is doing the best they can. Does Jen Bulik live near the Superfund cleanup site? I wish we had more extensive studies on cancer occurrences near that area. We should include a wider radius and also people who work there, not just people who live there.

Jen was my hairdresser for over a year before she was diagnosed with cancer, and during that time I have grown to know and love her. She and Jeff are an amazing example of love and sacrifice, hope and faith, perseverance and strength. Their wedding will be a joyful celebration for them and all who know and care about them!

FAR AWAY by Caryl Churchill & THE BALD SOPRANO by Eugene Ionesco
TWO WEIRD PLAYS directed by Alan Freeman
In FAR AWAY Caryl Churchill has written a poignant and disturbing story. It is a tragi-comic play about a dystopian, future world in which the little girl, Joan, becomes an adult as the world – in fact all creation – prepares for war.
THE BALD SOPRANO, one of the best known existentialist/absurdist comedy of all time, was written by a Romanian émigré who was astonished by, among other things, the absurdity of language.
Translation by Donald M. Allen
FAR AWAY and THE BALD SOPRANO also perform on April 4 at 7:30pm and May 16 at 8:30pm.
Director Alan Freeman will give a talk following tonight's performance.

Clothesline Project Display (all week)
If you would like to add to the Clothesline we will be in the Academic Quad M/W/F from 12pm-1:30pm and T/Th 11:30am-1:30pm
The concept of the Clothesline Project is simple - let each person tell their story in their own unique way, using words and/or artwork to decorate their shirt. Once finished, they would then hang their shirt on the clothesline. This very action serves many purposes. It acts as an educational tool for those who come to view the Clothesline; it becomes a healing tool for anyone who makes a shirt - by hanging the shirt on the line, survivors, friends and family can literally turn their back on some of that pain of their experience and walk away; finally it allows those who are still suffering in silence to understand. www.clotheslineproject.org

Director David Michôd continues to carve a name for himself in the world of gripping independent dramas. In 2010, he directed the critically acclaimed Australian crime drama Animal Kingdom. Michôd continues the trend with his new apocalyptic road trip movie The Rover, starring Guy Pierce as man on a relentless mission.
The movie starts in a bleached-out Australia following a societal breakdown. The landscape feels more like the land described in Stephen King's Gunslinger than the dystopian-punk world depicted in George Miller's popular Mad Max series. The people live in dust-riddled shacks widely spread across the dead landscape. There is little to no trust between anyone as people seem to be fending for themselves in this new Wild West.
The film follows Pierce's Eric, a mysterious loner whose car is stolen by three criminals fleeing a bank robbery. Eventually Eric meets Rey (played by a nearly unrecognizable Robert Pattinson), the brother of one of the men who stole his car. Pattinson's Rey is a man who is clearly not all there mentally. He constantly seems distracted and distant, almost struggling to put his thoughts to words. Rey is trying to find his brother, who left him at the scene of the robbery after he was shot. Eric takes Rey captive once he realizes who he is and forces him along in the search for his stolen car.
Why Eric is after the car is never fully explained until the very last scene of the film, but we do learn about why his character has all but given up. He reveals his disturbing past in a powerful scene after he's captured by soldiers. While being interrogated, Eric reveals a crime he committed and the powerful depression he feels after realizing there was no consequence for his action.
The images in The Rover pair perfectly with the minimal dialogue. The film is filled with bleak sun bleached landscapes, and never shies from the violence that rules this ruined land. The chilling soundtrack also goes a long way to convey the bleak nature of the narrative. It utilizes ambient sounds and haunting instrumentals to help get across the feel of this desolate world filled with pain and suffering.
One of the best parts about The Rover is it never over-explains anything. We don't know exactly what led to the financial catastrophe, but that's not what the movie is focusing on. Rather, we get one man's painful story, his mission to recover something he truly cares for in a burned-out world where the comforts of modern society no longer exist.

TUCSON – On Tuesday, the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches' Association (USTFCCCA) released the week five national poll. Since the USTFCCCA was established in 1995, this marks the first time the University of Arizona women's cross country team has been ranked No. 1 in the national poll.
The women's squad entered the Wisconsin adidas Invitational on Saturday, Oct. 19, as the No. 3 team in the nation. Competing against a loaded field, including Providence who was No. 1 at the time, No. 8 Arkansas, No. 9 Michigan State and No. 28 Iowa State. The Wildcats won with a total of 117 points. Arkansas' tally of 136 points was good for second place, giving the Arizona women a comfortable margin of victory.
On Saturday, sophomore Kayla Beattie led the first-place team; she took seventh place overall in the 6,000-meter race and posted a time of 19:56. Freshman Maria Larsson's time of 20:07 was good for 15th place. Junior Nicci Corbin finished in 18th place, clocking a time of 20:09. Senior Elvin Kibet was the fourth finisher for the Wildcats, taking 21st and posting a time of 20:12. Junior Hanna Peterson's time of 20:41 was good for 56th place and she was the fifth and final scorer for the Wildcats. The UA women's team won their fourth race out of four races this year. They did not field a team at the Thunderbird Classic.
In the women's national poll, five other Pac-12 schools join Arizona. Oregon fell six spots to No. 12, Washington dropped nine spots to No. 13, Colorado slid four spots and sits at No. 16, Stanford fell nine spots to No. 20 and Arizona State jumped to No. 26 after being unranked previously. In the USTFCCCA West Region, the UA women are ranked No. 1 as well.
On the men's side, the Pac-12 has four schools in the national poll. Colorado jumped one spot to No. 1 in the country. Oregon remained fourth in the country. Stanford jumped 16 spots to 13th. Washington climbed to No. 25 after not being in the week four poll. The Arizona men's cross country team is No. 10 in the USTFCCCA West Region.
Per the USTFCCCA, with Colorado and Arizona both representing the Pac-12 at No. 1 in their respective polls, the duo is the first pair of simultaneous No. 1 teams from the same conference since Stanford's men and Washington's women capped off a 23-week stretch of Pac-12 teams holding the polls' top spots in week seven of the 2009 season.
The cross country program returns to action for the Pac-12 Championships on Saturday, Nov. 2 in Boulder, Colo. In 2012, the women's team earned a runner-up finish. The women's program will be looking to claim their first ever conference championship.

MARSEILLE, France (AP) -- Nikolay Davydenko had nine aces and didn't face a break point in a 6-1, 7-5 win Tuesday over Andreas Beck of Germany to reach the second round of the Open 13.
Davydenko broke Beck's serve three times in the match. The Russian will face fourth-seeded Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina for a place in the quarterfinals.
In other first-round matches, Frenchmen Nicolas Mahut and Albano Olivetti, and Igor Kunitsyn of Russia advanced in straight sets. David Goffin of Belgium led 6-2, 1-0 against Adrian Mannarino when the Frenchman retired.
Mahut had 12 aces in a 6-3, 6-4 win over Arnaud Clement. He'll play another Frenchman, top-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, in the second round.
Olivetti did not face a break point in his 6-4, 6-3 win over Matthias Bachinger of Germany. Kunitsyn saved seven of the eight break points he faced before stopping Roberto Bautista-Agut, 6-4, 6-4.

We talked earlier about that big Chicago teachers union rally last week. There were so many serious issues involved that I don't think anyone covered what may have been the most fascinating moment. Union President Karen Lewis delivered an eyeball-rolling, head-waggling impersonation of a man she obviously despises -- Mayor Emanuel
"He said he was going to have a longer school day."Longer school day! I want the school day long. I want the school day long. I want the school day long.....," Lewis said.
If I were a Chicago Public School teacher, I might be concerned about the way my union president -- and to judge by their reaction -- the rest of the union leadership are approaching these negotiations that are so important to the whole city. Without naming them specifically, Lewis ripped the mayor and some of his allies for being rich and not sending their children to public school. "It's personal," she declared.
Well, it's personal for the rest of us, too. Most, though, could care less about the private grudge-match between her and the mayor and whatever cuss words they used on each other in a private meeting last year. I think teachers deserve more than the 30% pay raise the union demanded as bargaining began, but taxpayers can't afford it and it was outrageous for the union to ignore that. Most importantly, school kids can't afford a strike. To borrow a phrase President Obama uses in foreign policy, time to hit the reset button, Mr. Mayor and Madame Union President.

UNDP and the International Financial Institutions (IFIs)
The IFIs are an important source of development funding. They account for a large portion of the other resources (non-core) received by UNDP, as partners, particularly programme country governments, increasingly realize the added value brought by UNDP. Other resources received directly from IFIs (grants to UNDP) and through government cost-sharing reached an approximate $1.39 billion in 2004.
The majority of these resources is mobilized by UNDP Country Offices from the Regional Bureau for the Latin America and the Caribbean region providing support to the implementation of projects/programmes funded by governments with resources drawn from loans from the World Bank and the Inter American Development Bank. The implementation of projects/programmes funded from direct grants to UNDP plays a more important role in the other regions.
A "tripartite" relation
Be it loans or grants, the tripartite relation: Government-IFI-UNDP is key to making this form of cooperation work. In this partnership, government leads on the technical side in the preparation of the project/programme (mostly with the support of the IFI and at times UNDP), the IFI provides financial resources (loan or grant) and UNDP supports the implementation of the projects.
Apart from partnering around the provision of development services, the Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers and Millennium Development Goal processes provide unique opportunities for strengthening this partnership at the policy and upstream level- especially at the country level - and the capacity of country offices to deliver is fundamental to sustaining them. This is even more important as IFIs, particularly the World Bank, begin to participate in new modalities for delivering technical cooperation, placing new demands upon the capacities of programme countries.
UNDP has entered into formal agreements with some of the IFIs (the World Bank, the African Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank), and is working on additional agreements.
Multi-Partner Trust Funds
More than ever, the UN system is stepping up its efforts to enhance coherence and efficiency at the country and global levels and to increase joint UN activities. Against this background and in the context of humanitarian, transition, reconstruction and development programmes, the UN system, national authorities and donors are establishing Multi-Donor Trust Funds (MDTFs) and Joint Programmes (JPs) that use the pass-through fund management model.

About UNDP's donors
UNDP's bilateral development partners have made strong endorsements to help poorer countries to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, and play a crucial role in promoting and financing strategies that will enhance the capacity of developing countries to attain the MDGs. To increase its development effectiveness, UNDP is strengthening its partnerships with the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of OECD, collaborating with the members of the DAC to promote the MDGs at the global, regional and country level.
