Iconoclastic filmmaker Jim Jarmusch has been living outside of the mainstream for his entire career, so it's perhaps only fitting that for his 11th feature-length film, "Only Lovers Left Alive," the writer/director turns his attentions to the outsiders that live in shadows.
A vampire film on the surface, "Only Lovers Left Alive" charts the relationship, dynamics and long-lasting love of Adam and Eve (Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton respectively), two immortal beings that are much more outsider hipsters than they are traditional bloodsuckers. In other words, don't be expecting modern-day vampire horror; this textured, funny and moving picture is quite incomparable. An exquisite film that debuted at Cannes last year (our review), "Only Lovers Left Alive" is perhaps Jarmusch's best film to date and perhaps his most emotionally accessible. Carefully balancing heart, soul, melancholia and humor, "Only Lovers Left Alive" evinces a great humanity, both with a wonder for all that humankind has created, and a lament for everything culture seems to now have disregarded. And it's a romance too by means of two opposite characters—one a suicidal musician, the other a more hopeful and inquisitive person—who have lived and absorbed an eternity of civilization. It's a layered piece of work both deeply observant, richly comedic and hauntingly atmospheric.
Co-starring Mia Wasikowska, John Hurt, Anton Yelchin and Jeffrey Wright, "Only Lovers Left Alive" finally opens in U.S. theaters this weekend in limited release via Sony Pictures Classics. Here's our interview with the inimitable Jarmusch.
Vampires seems like an unlikely subject for you given their position in pop-culture right now. What drew you to them?
I just like genres, it's one that I've always liked. I really like the whole history of vampire films that are more the kind of marginal, the less conventional ones. Starting with "Vampyr" by Carl Dreyer in the '30s, and many, many interesting films – "Shadow of the Vampire" with Willem Dafoe, then in the '80s the "Hunger" with David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve. I liked George Romero's film "Martin" a lot, Katheryn Bigelow's film "Near Dark," Abel Ferrara's "The Addiction," Clair Denis' "Trouble Every Day," Polanski's "Fearless Vampire Killers." I loved "Let The Right One In"—that was from like five, six years ago, beautiful.
That's a good list of films.
Yeah, I've always loved all of those films, that type of approach. Rather than the sort of more obvious one and I wanted to make a love story for quite a long time. It's had different variances to it, but somehow it got merged maybe eight years ago into my vampire film. So, I wanted to make a love story that involved vampires. Why, I can't really tell you... It interests me. And I like genres too sometimes because they imply a kind of metaphoric element. Just by the fact that they are a genre. So you can work within [that genre] and do something different inside of that frame. So, that always appeals to me, or not always, but in the case of the few films where I've referred to genres, there's something attractive there for me too.
I imagine the ideas of immortality and all that they entail were an appeal as well?
The possibility of having a historical overview was really interesting to me, because there's a point where [Mia Wasikowska's character] calls them snobs, when they're throwing her out of their house, which on a certain level they are. It's important it's in the film, in a way. But who wouldn't be considered a snob if you'd been alive for a thousand yeas and had all of this knowledge and accumulated experience? That's ten, twenty times as much as any normal person. The idea of seeing history in a timeline by having lived through it, but from the margins, from the shadows: observing it half in secret is very interesting to me. I've always been drawn to outsider type of characters, so what more perfect shadowy inhabitants of the margins are there, than vampires? Who are not undead monsters, by the way, they're humans that have been transformed and now have the possibility of immortality, but are reliant, like junkies, on blood.
One of the themes that struck me, presented from Adam's [Tom Hiddleston] perspective is the decay of civilization, and the decay of culture.
Adam is a kind of romantic character. He maybe is a bit flawed in a way, whereas [Tilda Swinton's character] Eve is very happy to just have a consciousness and be in awe of all the things, phenomenal logical things in the world, or in the world of ideas.
Adam, I mean, I carefully layered in that he was a friend of the romantic poets or hung out with Byron and Shelley and Scott. I really think of him as a tortured romantic. Is he really going to kill himself? I don't know, maybe he's just a drama queen, I'm not sure. But just the fact that it would occur to him, that kind of dramatic action is very insightful somehow.
He's hurt by things he sees people do that he doesn't understand or why does the world acts the way it does—what I like to think of as an operating system. Out of all of the potential operating systems we could have, why is it this one? It's a system based on greed and power, manipulation, subjugation and colonialism, which obviously isn't good. I have a sort of closeness to Adam on that level of, "Wow, I find that very kind of sad," and him it really bothers him. That's part of his character, that he's an emotional, complex creature that is affected by these things. Eve has certainly been affected by them too. I think she's a bit more resilient and maybe she's just more centered as a person. They're a bit different. I don't know if I'm answering your question.
Is it meant to have any commentary on males and females? Adam being flawed and insecure and Eve being a more divine figure?
That's interesting that you say that because to me what was most inspiring for me to make this film was the last book by Mark Twain, "The Diaries of Adam and Eve." That's why I named them Adam and Eve, not the direct Biblical thing, but via Mark Twain. That book is very funny, beautiful and kind of slight. It's just diary entries of Adam and Eve's vastly different perceptions of the world, via the fact that she's female and he's male. It's a hilarious book and it really inspired me to want to make a film with two characters named Adam and Eve that sort of represented on some level the sun and the moon, but certainly very different perceptions of things.
So that was a big inspiration. It's not even referred to in the film, the book. But it's very important for me as a background for this.

In terms of actual policy moves, the new RBI governor has increased liquidity for banks and lowered their cost of funds. He has achieved this by reducing the proportion of money banks have to keep with the central bank and by lowering the cost of taking overnight loans from the central bank, under the marginal standing facility (MSF), over and above the lending available under the repo window. This is pro-growth.

Cabrera Posted: Dec. 26 2011 8:28 PM 0 Getty Images Children looking out the window and waiting by the Christmas tree weren't the only ones tracking Santa Claus on Saturday night. First lady Michelle Obama was doing the same. Answering an astounding 102,000 calls, the Santa trackers at NORAD, assisted by Michelle Obama, helped shatter a 56-year-old record of 80,000 calls. "It is wonderful to be part of this holiday tradition. I love answering calls from children who were anxious to learn where Santa was and when he would arrive at their home," the first lady said in a statement. "I passed on to each child the current location of Santa and reminded them that he would come to their house only after they were in bed sleeping," she told the Associated Press. Many of the kids didn't seem to recognize the first lady's voice, said Lt. Cmdr. Bill Lewis of the Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado. "They all just asked run-of-the-mill stuff. They wanted to know about Santa." The NORAD users also submitted questions through Facebook and Twitter. Read more at the Daily News. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.

There are many ways to get lost in the ether these days - social networking, gaming or just browsing. If you are planning a remodeling project, you can be a little more focused: using Pinterest or Evernote or some other app to keep notes on what you like or don't like, grabbing images to sort through later or what appliances you need.

Special cabinets can do more to enhance the functionality of your kitchen than pretty much anything else and can cut down on the number of cabinets you need. More cabinets doesn't always mean better use of space - sometimes it just means more expense and more clutter.

Everything today seems to be going retro - home and clothing designs have been mimicing the 1950s, 60s and 70s for about a decade already! But back in the day (not that I would remember those days), the future was all the rage. Everyone from Walt Disney to Stanley Kubrick tried to predict what our lives would be like and how our work and homes would adapt to the many technology advances taking place.

Apple has done a pretty good job of keeping emulator software apps off of its iOS devices, mainly because it believes that such software encourages piracy, but a new app that allows users to emulate Nintendo games has managed to find a loophole. The program is called GBA4iOS, and as its name implies, it allows you to emulate Game Boy Advance games on iOS devices such as iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. The software was created by Riley Testut, who also created a Super NES emulator for iOS devices.
Normally Apple would kill this app if it was on the App Store, but GBA4iOS takes advantage of a very complicated loophole that keeps it safe: it uses GitHub. According to ReadWrite the developer loaded the app's code to GitHub, then handed the information over to MacBuildServer, a company that compiles raw code into functional apps. The idea is that MacBuildServer acquires the needed certificates from Apple that then allow iOS users to download apps directly through GitHub, under the guise of testing an app. The real loophole in this scenario is that GitHub doesn't actually require that certification from Apple for a compiled app to reside on its service.
Of course, in order to "test" such an application, you'll need ROMs of games. Downloading ROMs is generally considered piracy and copyright infringement. Still it isn't all that farfetched for someone to find homebrew software for the GBA on the Internet..
We will have to see if Nintendo or Apple decide to find some way of making this emulation app disappear.

Desert Wildlife
Nocturnal Animals
Almost all desert animals are smart enough to stay out of the sun during the hottest part of the day. They stay deep underground in burrows. There the sand is much cooler, and burrowing animals, like the antelope squirrel, the badger, the gopher, the coyote and the kit fox, sleep while you are playing on the dunes. At night, after the sun goes down and the sand cools off, the animals come out to hunt for food. When an animal is active at night and rests during the day, it is called nocturnal.Coyote

Is this why vacuum pan method needs spherical tool and does it end up the same shape as OSLO ray trace model?
I have not seen this position of neutral zone mentioned in the calculation of sagitta of tool or deflection.
I am hovering with plate, plaster, tiles and pan. It is not an academic exercise - if plate is badly wrong it will be a huge waste of time.
I have made some practice plastic plates for a very short focus mirror, using basic Ingalls information and zonal grinding. The depth of curve finally arrived at was a lot deeper than calculated to get a good correction, I put this down to a much lower index for the acrylic than I estimated. 1.3 is a lot weaker than 1.5, getting towards half, twice as deep curve. They worked very well in the application for an exhibition installation which needed an extremely bright dot of light to scan objects. A Cree LED was imaged by a 150mm f0.8 spherical mirror very efficiently. Well done Schmidt!

Scene Info
Spreading Marc Dylan's smooth butt cheeks apart, D.O. gains easy access to his twitching bunghole. The handsome power top stretches the ass crack open and licks it clean. He teases Marc with a variety of passionate slurps and then shocks him with hard slaps across his ass. Eager and determined to perform as energetically, Marc gets up to suck D.O.'s dick. He nurses on it hungrily making sure his oral skills are exciting his partner. He then lays back with his head over the side of the bed, opens his mouth wide so D.O. can really cram his dick down his gullet. D.O. lifts Marc's hips up to rim his ass again, this time more aggressively and roughly. He stuffs his thumb inside the hole, reddens the round cheeks with more harsh slaps and then fucks his partner hard and fast. Marc mounts D.O.'s perfect dick and they continue screwing. With all this overwhelming stimulation, Marc jacks away at his stiffy until he climaxes and D.O. follows, blasting his load onto his exhausted partner.

RealBeat is a fascinating iOS app that allows you to quickly capture snippets of sound from the world around you and turn it into music. While there are many sampling apps on the market, RealBeat simplifies the sampling process by grabbing only the audio you need and tweaking it slightly to fit into your mix. From there, the app inserts options for shaping the sound even more. It leads to a unique sound on so many different levels – you're simply not going to get the same type of sound in another app that RealBeat delivers easily and quickly. Most importantly, the sounds are going to be distinctly your own products – a fact that you can't say about the sound you pull from most apps. Over the next few days, we're going to look at RealBeat closely and check out some of it's cool features. Today we'll provide an overview of the RealBeat work space.
Put Your Samples In Tracks
Upon opening RealBeat, you arrive at the main screen, where you capture your individual sounds. The eight numbered boxes at the bottom of the screen are the storage spaces for each of our samples. Press the red button to pull up another screen where you record your sound. Once you've captured a sample, a red squiggle appears next to the number that signifies a loaded sample. Tracks without a red squiggle signify an empty track without any embedded sounds. These are the building blocks of your musical material, so you do want to take some time filling the tracks with interesting sounds.
Placing Samples Into Sequences
In the upper left hand corner of the screen, a grid lays out all of your sequences that you've programmed with original samples. The grids with a myriad of dots have programmed sequences in them, while the empty squares relate directly to empty sequences. The currently selected sequence is highlighted in red; simply tap a different square to move the highlight and select another sequence. The highlighted square is the pattern that will sound when you press the play button. Double tap on one of these grids and you'll be taken to the sequencing window, where you can create your original patterns based upon your samples. With the ability to quickly copy and edit each sequence, you can program a total of fifteen different cells in each file.
Effects For Your Sequence
The upper right hand side of the screen holds a pad that allows you to place several different effects upon the playback of your sequence. Press the play button and as your sequence repeats, drag your finger within the pad – the sound will be altered based upon the effect that you've chosen. You have an option of three different effects – the numbers above the pad let you switch between a filter, the crusher (distortion), and an interesting remix feature. These effects are fantastic for playback, but unfortunately, they don't stick to the sequence; as a result, they do have limited practicality for composition.
Gaining Control Over Your Work
Sitting along the top of the screen, you can find a row of buttons that open options to do some rough mixing on your samples, export to a series of audio formats, save and load projects, as well as adjust your settings. The black box with red lines on the left opens a series of faders for changing track volumes, making pitch adjustments, and altering the attacks. The arrows facing up and down let you name your project, load older ones, and send your mixes out to other places. The gear near the right opens the settings, with possibilities to auto samples and adjust the recording volume. These buttons allow you to work with the sounds in a flexible way and gain some additional control over your work.
Recording Your Sample
When you're ready to capture your audio, each channel has an individual window for recording and shaping the sample. Press the red button above one of the track numbers and a record window will pop up, starting the record instantly and ending when you hit the "Sample" button. The initial recording of the sample does some quick "smart" editing, deleting any excess silence on either end of the sample. You're left with a core waveform that is primed for musical creation and clever alterations.
Playing With Individual Samples
Press the red squiggle next to the channel number and you'll get the edit window. You'll see the waveform on the upper left hand side of the screen, giving you some idea what you captured. On the right hand side of the window, you've got faders for volume and pitch that provide some dramatic changes immediately. Underneath the waveform, you'll find a series of eight buttons that allow you to make some interesting changes to your waveform through effects. You can add reverb, insert a fade, reverse the audio, increase the volume of the clip, normalize the volume, or add distortion. There's a lot of power packed into the editing window, that allows you to truly personalize the sound.
RealBeat provides a lot of music making power packed into a solid app, always giving you results that resonate with originality. It's worth spending some time with the app and experimenting with the sonic possibilities – you'll be pleased with the results. Come back tomorrow and we'll dig into the actual act of recording samples and creating a sequence with RealBeat.

Knights knock off Harper Woods
Bob St. John Sports Editor

Liggett quarterback Connor McCarron, No. 1, calls the play in the huddle during the Knights' home win over Harper Woods. Photo by Paul Kania
October 24, 2013
Before the season began, everyone thought the University Liggett football team would be a joke.
The Knights lost a ton of seniors and the head coach resigned to concentrate on business.
In stepped former head football coach Dan Cimini and he molded a new group of players into a team one win from making the state playoffs.
The host Knights improved to 5-3 last weekend with an impressive 33-6 win over Harper Woods.
"We played a good game on both sides of the ball," Cimini said. "Everyone was focused on playing well and winning this game to put us in position to try to make the state playoffs.
"I'm proud of all of my players, but we still have a lot of work to do."
The Knights' offensive line paved the way for running backs Tommy Jackson and Darryl Lewis to dominate. Jackson rushed for 283 yards and three touchdowns, and Lewis gained 101 yards as the home team controlled the clock and possession of the ball.
The offense has clicked ever since Cimini changed Jackson to running back and put Connor McCarron in at quarterback. The duo of Jackson and Lewis gives the Knights an explosive backfield, while McCarron has managed the game well and passes the ball enough to keep defenses honest.
Against the Pioneers, he completed an 81-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Lordanthony Grissom.
"I like how well the offense runs after the changes we made," Cimini said. "The line is doing a great job of creating lanes for Tommy and Darryl to run through and Connor is a smart kid who runs the offense."
The Knights' defense had a shutout going until the Pioneers scored late in the fourth quarter. However, the defense forced turnovers and made life tough for the opposing quarterback and running backs.
Coming up for Liggett is its regular season finale at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 25, at Clarkston Everest Academy and Collegiate High School.
"This is a big game for us," Cimini said. "We have to win to automatically qualify for the state playoffs. We know Everest is a good team and it will take a solid effort to beat them.
"We can't turn the ball over and we have to continue to dominate both sides of the ball. If we do that, we can win this game."

Lea Michele Returns To Glee Without Cory Monteith
August 07, 2013 03:08 PM by Stephanie Gustafson
Cory Monteith's death initially cast doubt on whether Glee would be able to begin filming for season five. But stars such as Glee Project mentor Lea Michele were eager to continue with the season in hopes of finding some healing through acting and singing.
The prospect of a full season of Glee without Cory Monteith's crooked smile seems too difficult for the show's fans to handle, so we can only imagine how tough it must be for the show's stars to return to the set less than a month after the actor died from an alcohol and heroin overdose. But many of the show's cast members feel that acting is the best way to work through the pain. Based on what Glee creator Ryan Murphy has hinted thus far, it looks like Glee's characters will be forced to say goodbye to their good friend Finn Hudson, just as the individuals portraying them have had to pay their respects to Cory.
Last week, that on-set grieving process began in earnest, with the cast returning to the studio to begin filming season five. Lea told Twitter followers that she was glad to return to her beloved Rachel Berry persona because she's "missed her so much." She also offered fans a very open-ended teaser about the premiere of the fifth season, explaining, "Couldn't have picked a more beautiful & perfect song to start the year with." We're assuming that song will be a tribute to Cory/Finn, but no explanation from Lea just yet.
Yesterday, Lea offered yet another social media update, tweeting, "Feels so good to be home." She also added a picture of herself on set, looking somber in what appears to be Rachel's New York City apartment.
Any predictions as to how Glee will approach Cory Monteith's absence? Feel free to share them in the comments section below!

I got a chance to chat with YouMail CEO Alex Quilici. Last week, his company made some headlines while we were at E3. IntoMobile reported YouMail amassing as many as 17.5 million active users and 75 million who have interacted with the service at some point. Anyone not famliar with YouMail needs to watch this video:
Keep in mind that was back in 2007. 5 years later, the business continues to keep a steady increase in membership despite RIM's disappointment of YouMail leaving the Blackberry fray. RIM's Alec Saunders then called out Quilici by saying "YouMail's flagship product, visual voicemail, isn't a business anymore – it's a feature that comes on your phone, and it has been that way since Apple first launched the feature in June 2007 on iPhone. It's no surprise, either, that YouMail's business on BlackBerry is declining." But at 17.5 million active users — it doesn't seem too shabby at all for a product that "isn't a business anymore."
In the latest episode of the Radical Insider, we settle the score on why YouMail pulled from Blackberry as well as delving into his past with Quackware before selling it to America Online for $200 million. Quilici takes us through the story pages of his startup, his love for entrepreneurship as well as balancing work and family.

Ukraine's acting president on Tuesday called for the formation of a national guard and for the mobilization of reserves and volunteers into the country's armed forces to counter Russian military moves.
Ukraine's acting president on Tuesday called for the formation of a national guard and for the mobilization of reserves and volunteers into the country's armed forces to counter Russian military moves.
Oleksandr Turchynov asked the national parliament to approve a decision to turn the country's Interior Ministry troops into a National Guard "to defend the country and citizens against any criminals, against external and internal aggression."
Turchynov said that the mobilization will include those who have previously served in the army and volunteers.
Russian forces have strengthened their control over Ukraine's Crimea region in the run-up to a referendum set for Sunday on whether to split off and become part of Russia.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who will fly to the Washington to meet with Barack Obama on Wednesday, called on Western nations to defend Ukraine against a nation "that is armed to the teeth and that has nuclear weapons."
Meanwhile, Ukraine's fugitive president, Viktor Yanukovych, accused the country's new government of fomenting civil war.
Yatsenyuk asked Russia, the U.S. and European Union member Britain to abide by a treaty signed in 1994, in which they pledged to guarantee Ukraine's security in exchange for giving up its Soviet-era nuclear weapons.
"We are not asking for anything from anyone," Yatsenyuk told parliament. "We are asking for just one thing: military aggression has been used against our country. Those who guaranteed that this aggression will not take place, must form the one side pull out troops and from the other side must defend our independent, sovereign state."
Parliament was to vote later Wednesday on the motion on mobilization and the appeal to the West.
Yanukovych, speaking in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, repeated the Russian claim that the new Ukrainian authorities are kowtowing to radical nationalists, and that they posed a threat to Russian-speaking eastern regions.
Yanukovych, who fled last month after months of protests, said he would soon return to Ukraine.

Families Apart : Migrant Mothers and the Conflicts of Labor and Love

In a developing nation like the Philippines, many mothers provide for their families by traveling to a foreign country to care for someone else's. Families Apartfocuses on Filipino overseas workers in Canada to reveal what such arrangements mean for families on both sides of the global divide. The outcome of Geraldine Pratt's collaboration with the Philippine Women Centre of British Columbia, this study documents the difficulties of family separation and the problems that children have when they reunite with their mothers in Vancouver. Aimed at those who have lived this experience, those who directly benefit from it, and those who simply stand by and watch, Families Apartshows how Filipino migrant domestic workers-often mothers themselves-are caught between competing neoliberal policies of sending and receiving countries and how, rather than paying rich returns, their ambitions as migrants often result in social and economic exclusion for themselves and for their children. This argument takes shape as an open-ended series of encounters, moving between a singular academic voice and the "we" of various research collaborations, between Vancouver and the Philippines, and between genres of "evidence-based" social scientific research, personal testimony, theatrical performance, and nonfictional narrative writing. Through these experiments with different modes of storytelling, Pratt seeks to transform frameworks of perception, to create and collect sympathetic witnesses-in short, to promote a wide-ranging public discussion and debate about a massive worldwide shift in family (and nonfamily) relations of intimacy and care.

Medieval timepiece in the heart of the Cotswolds
the stylish rooms and the busy bar and restaurant.
Castle Combe is the Cotswold village that time
forgot. It's a perfectly preserved 15th-century piece of history in
Wiltshire's north-west corner often referred to as the "prettiest
village in England". There's not one street light, overhead cable
or TV aerial in sight, just rows of yellow Cotswold stone houses
along narrow roads leading to a medieval church and 14th-century
Market Cross. If it all looks a little familiar it's possibly
because Hollywood has immortalised the village most recently in
Steven Speilberg's War Horse, and perhaps most famously as
Puddleby-on-the-Marsh in the 1967 adaptation of Dr Doolittle.
Facing the Market Cross is The Castle Inn whose origins trace as
far back as the 12th century. However, there's nothing antiquated
about its standard of service or facilities despite its respectful
preservation of unique historic character and features that remain
true to its setting. In fact, The Castle Inn has a surprisingly
contemporary flair with 11 bedrooms dressed in sumptuous fabrics
alongside swish bathrooms. No English inn is complete without a
cosy bar with open fire and The Castle Inn doesn't disappoint.
Dishing up traditional favourites and an à la carte menu for
dinner, there's also the private Oak Room and relaxed, alfresco
Terrace Patio when the weather permits.

Staying warm on the bike during the winter can be a challenge. Though your ride may not be more than an hour or two, you want enjoy your time in the saddle, not just endure it. Ward off the nipping of Jack Frost by slipping your legs in a pair of cozy Capo Modena Donna Roubaix Tights. Made with moisture wicking, winter-weight fabrics and a body contouring fit, these tights will keep you warm when the mercury dips
The Modena Donna Tights are part of the Corsa Series. The tights are constructed for warmth and comfort using Thermo Roubaix fabric. Thermo Roubaix is woven using hollow-core fibers that are brushed on the inside, creating a fleece-like inner layer that holds air for warmth. This next-to-skin insulating layer keeps your legs warm by trapping the warmth your body creates. The panels of Thermo Roubaix are sewn into an anatomical fit for riding. Standing up, you may feel the tights pull slightly, but get on your bike and you'll feel how they move into place when you're in a riding position. If you look closely at the tights, you'll notice there are no seams over the knees or the inside of the legs. Instead, the seams sit towards the outside of the legs, away from areas where they tend to irritate. Capo uses a wide, yoga-pant like waistband on the Modena Donna Tights, the same comfortable waistband that is used on all of their women's shorts and tights. The wide waistband doesn't cut into your stomach, and sits slightly below your natural waistline.
Capo uses the Women's Veloce HD chamois in these tights. Though the chamois is made for shorter rides, Capo designed it to protect much like the long distance-focused Giro HD Carbon chamois– utilizing Elastic Interface Technology and an Italian made microfiber top. The chamois is constructed with high density foam positioned under the sit bones for comfort and protection from the saddle. The padding thins out towards the perineal area and sides of the chamois, where high density foam isn't required. The chamois is finished with a soft microfiber top that sits comfortably against the skin and wicks moisture away for evaporation.
The Capo Modena Donna Roubaix Tights are finished with reflective accents on the legs to increase your visibility to motorists in low-light conditions. They come in Black and are available in four sizes, X-Small through Large.

State-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) will file papers for its much-delayed Rs 12,000 crore share sale with market regulator SEBI today.
The follow-on public offer (FPO) is likely to open on September 20 and close on September 23, sources privy to the development said.
The board of ONGC had last week approved the red herring prospectus that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) today.
The government plans to sell 5 per cent, or 427.77 million shares, through the FPO.
Sources said the RHP incorporates the financials of the company till the April-June quarter.
The FPO was originally planned in the 2010-11 fiscal, but the launch was later deferred to April 5 as the company did not have an adequate number of independent directors on its board to meet market regulator SEBI's listing norms.
It was then rescheduled for July 5, but was again deferred due to adverse market conditions.
The government had in January appointed Citigroup, Nomura Holdings, Bank of America Corp, HSBC Holdings, JM Financial Services and Morgan Stanley to manage ONGC's share sale.
After the FPO, the government's stake in ONGC will come down to 69.14 per cent from the current 74.14 per cent.
The government's ad-hoc subsidy sharing mechanism has cast a shadow over ONGC's share sale during recent months.

For just under a decade, the GSCI remained a relatively static investment vehicle, as bankers remained more interested in risk and collateralized debt than in anything that could be literally sowed or reaped. Then, in 1999, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission deregulated futures markets. All of a sudden, bankers could take as large a position in grains as they liked, an opportunity that had, since the Great Depression, only been available to those who actually had something to do with the production of our food. ...
... But Goldman's index perverted the symmetry of this system. The structure of the GSCI paid no heed to the centuries-old buy-sell/sell-buy patterns. This newfangled derivative product was "long only," which meant the product was constructed to buy commodities, and only buy. At the bottom of this "long-only" strategy lay an intent to transform an investment in commodities (previously the purview of specialists) into something that looked a great deal like an investment in a stock -- the kind of asset class wherein anyone could park their money and let it accrue for decades (along the lines of General Electric or Apple). Once the commodity market had been made to look more like the stock market, bankers could expect new influxes of ready cash. But the long-only strategy possessed a flaw, at least for those of us who eat. The GSCI did not include a mechanism to sell or "short" a commodity.
This imbalance undermined the innate structure of the commodities markets, requiring bankers to buy and keep buying -- no matter what the price. Every time the due date of a long-only commodity index futures contract neared, bankers were required to "roll" their multi-billion dollar backlog of buy orders over into the next futures contract, two or three months down the line. And since the deflationary impact of shorting a position simply wasn't part of the GSCI, professional grain traders could make a killing by anticipating the market fluctuations these "rolls" would inevitably cause. "I make a living off the dumb money," commodity trader Emil van Essen told Businessweek last year. Commodity traders employed by the banks that had created the commodity index funds in the first place rode the tides of profit.

It can be deleted by someone with the political will to do so. Higher taxes could become quite fashionable.
in a time when so many (including Krugman) try to deny these things.

We are very near a decison on Zimbra NE for our school. We are a boarding school with 650 users, and will need to support 300+ concurrent users. Based on some reading here and elsewhere, I'm considering a server similar to this:
Dell 2950 III
single or dual quad core CPU
8Gb RAM
4 to 6 15K 146Gb SAS drives, configured as RAID 10
Ubuntu 8.04 64bit
For additional storage, we have an Equallogic PS5000 array with 14 SATA drives, 3x GB ports, and lots of free space. I am not certain how the performance of the SAN will compare with RAID 10 on the 2950, but our experience since migrating storage to it is that it easily keeps pace with or outperforms RAID 5 on the Dell 2950s we have. It is hard to compare user home drive storage with Zimbra storage though.
I would appreciate any feedback about the hardware, and especially from other similar sized installations. We will be migrating from Mercury/32, likely using imapcopy, with a mail store of ~50Gb.

Labor Day is one of those bittersweet holidays. In a way it's sort of sad that it's the unofficial end of summer, but it's also exciting to look forward to the upcoming fall season.
Not to mention – who doesn't love a Monday off from work? 😉
After a summer full of traveling – including a recent trip to Las Vegas that included lots of indulgences – I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things with the new season around the corner.
So this Labor Day, I chose SUNCHIPS® Multigrain Snacks as the perfect way to wrap up summer in a delicious way.
SUNCHIPS Multigrain Snacks have been a go-to snack of mine to have on hand all summer. It's a quick and delicious option that requires no preparation. I just open the bag and enjoy the flavorful multigrain flavors. I also love that SUNCHIPS Multigrain Snacks are made with whole grains and contain 21g whole grains per 1-oz serving.
SUNCHIPS Multigrain Snacks are versatile and can be paired with dips or even used as a base for bruschetta. They're a great crunchy snack that packs in flavor but still fits into a balanced lifestyle.
For my upcoming Labor Day get together, I'm going to pair SUNCHIPS Multigrain Snacks with a bunch of raw vegetables, along with a delicious Garlic Feta Cheese Dip.
For the dip I followed this recipe, but added some spinach for extra color. The flavors of this dip go perfectly with the SUNCHIPS Multigrain Snacks.
I know my friends are going to love this dip with the veggies and SUNCHIPS Multigrain Snacks! But until then, guess I'll have to enjoy this batch on my own… 😉
This post is brought to you by a partnership with Frito-Lay & Girl Meets Life. All opinions are my own.
What are your plans for this Labor Day? Excited to see summer go, or looking forward to fall?

If you love the feel of a brand new novel, the thrill of finding a first edition, the smell of an old, old edition, then book it to New York City.
There are bookstores galore besides the usual chains, including many specialized bookstores to meet all your needs.
A few museums specialize in manuscripts, while most museum gift shops in the city offer an interesting cache of books for purchase.
A visit to the New York Public Library can take hours and hours if you so desire. And the walk — Library Way — leading to the library, past the Library Hotel, is an adventure in itself.
Library Way
It's easy to bump into an oncoming pedestrian as you walk along Library Way, which is East 41st Street between Fifth and Park avenues.
Why? Because you are looking downward and reading the 96 bronze sidewalk plaques that feature quotations from literature and poetry.
The quotations are from such masters as Lewis Carroll, Virginia Woolf, Francis Bacon, Pablo Picasso, Dylan Thomas, Lucille Clifton, Tom Stoppard, Henry David Thoreau and Albert Camus — to name a few.
Library Way was a project of the Grand Central Partnership, a not-for-profit corporation. It transformed the block into an "entertaining and illuminating promenade" to the New York Public Library Humanities and Social Sciences Library, according to the group's Web site.
Sculptural artist Gregg LeFevre created the bronze plaques that are truly a joy to read.
Library Hotel
You can eat, sleep and drink books at the Library Hotel, a boutique hotel just a block or two from the New York Public Library Humanities and Social Sciences Library. Each floor of the hotel is dedicated to one of the 10 major categories of the Dewey Decimal System.
The lobby is lined with books — old and new. Card catalog drawers form the wall behind the guest services desk.
The rooms are enhanced with wall decor in the same vein as the category. For example, in one of the rooms on the math and science floor, astronomy was the theme in a junior suite, while dinosaurs were evident in another.
A selection of appropriately themed books are available in all of the rooms.
On the Literature Floor, the "menu" of rooms includes Poetry, Fairy Tales and Erotic Literature — the last of which is one of the most popular rooms for a romantic get-away, according to Yogini Patel, director of sales and marketing.
Her business card also titles her "Honorary Librarian."
Along with the rooms are a reading room, a writer's den and a poetry garden. Madison and Vine, an American bistro, recently was opened in the hotel.
In the lounge on the top floor, guests can indulge in some tasty drinks: The Hemingway, the Great Gatsby and the Jackie Collins, to name a few.
Patel noted that it was the public library situated just a few steps away that inspired the hotel's theme.
After a good night's rest, stop by the Humanities and Social Sciences Library for a book or a tour.

With lions "Patience" and "Fortitude" guarding its doors, the New York Public Library's Humanities and Social Sciences Library presides majestically over the head of the street.
New York Public Library Humanities and Social Sciences Library
The lions at the entrance welcome visitors to the grand building, one of many that are part of the New York Public Library system.
Once inside, you see marble, giant candelabras and fascinating architecture. The architecture, however, is secondary to the vastness of the collection: there are 52 million items. There are 18 million books and millions of other formats, from 4,000-year-old tablets to CD-ROMS.
This building, the library's central building, was completed in 1911. It is one of the finest examples of Beaux-Arts architecture in the nation.
The structure was situated on the site of the city's reservoir, which took 500 workers about two years to dismantle and to prepare the site.
The construction of the building took nine years at a cost of $29 million in 1911, which is equal to about $500 million in today's dollars, according to information displayed at the library.
Within the library system are five central libraries and 82 branch libraries.
The Morgan Library
& Museum
Worth a visit is the Morgan Library Museum on Madison Avenue, which once served as the private library for Pierpont Morgan.
Inside the elegant structure can be found such treasures as three copies of the Gutenberg Bible (there is always one on display), Milton's "Paradise Lost" manuscripts, lyrics from a Bob Dylan song written on a Holiday Inn napkin, the original manuscript of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," medieval and Renaissance illuminated texts, illustrated books, early children's books, music manuscripts (including Beethoven's Violin Sonato No. 10 in G Major), and ancient seals and tablets. Some, however, are not available for viewing.
He started collecting later in his life, said Sandra Ho, media relations manager at the museum. "It was the thing to do — collecting. He surrounded himself with good advisers as to what he should invest in."
Eleven years after Pierpont's death, his son, J.P. Morgan Jr., made the library and its treasures available to scholars and the public by transforming it into a public library. In 1988, J.P. Morgan Jr.'s former residence was added to the complex, and in 1991, a garden court was constructed to unite the elements.
In 2006, a 75,000-square-foot addition was completed. Available at the museum are a gift shop, cafe, tours and public programs.
Current exhibitions are "Painted With Words: Vincent van Gogh Letters to Emile Bernard" and "Contemporary Artists Select Old Masters," both through Jan. 6.
The Frick Collection
Once the home of industrialist Henry Clay Frick, the mansion at East 70th Street now houses a collection of Western art ranging from the Renaissance through the late 19th century, including works by such artists as Bellini, Corot, Fragonard, Goya, El Creco, Manet, Monet, Rembrandt, Renoir, Titian, Vermeer and Whistler.
Frick, who grew up in the rural outskirts of Pittsburgh and made his fortune in the Pittsburgh steel industry, came to New York in 1914 and built his new mansion on Fifth Avenue.
The residence and the works he had collected over the years were bequeathed by Frick to a board of trustees, and the museum was opened to the public in 1935.
The paintings, sculptures, decorative art and enamels are displayed as much as possible as if they were in Frick's private home.
A complimentary audio guide is a great help in negotiating the rooms.
Lectures and special exhibitions take place at the Frick. The current exhibition, which continues through Jan. 27, features the art of Gabriel de Saint-Aubin.
Along with the collection of work, is the Frick Art Reference Library, founded in 1920 by Helen Clay Frick as a memorial to her father. It is one of the foremost resources in the world for the study of European and American art.

RAINN Response to Central Connecticut State University Newspaper Article
February 12, 2007 - RAINN released the following statement in response to an article that ran recently in the Central Connecticut State University newspaper. The article was a "satire" about rape and led to many protests on the campus and in the surrounding community.
"One in four college women are victims of sexual assault...It is disturbing that a university newspaper...chose to mock a subject that affects so many members of its own community."
"The newspaper's decision to publish the column is appalling and irresponsible. The FBI ranks rape as the second most violent crime that exists, trailing only murder. The trauma of sexual assault is far too devastating to be a suitable subject for ridicule."
"One in four college women are victims of sexual assault, according to the Justice Dept. It is disturbing that a university newspaper, which should be an advocate for students, chose to mock a subject that affects so many members of its own community."

News reports that Bono's global fight against AIDS faces a major setback, as the Global Fund has been accused of corruption. While Bono's charitable efforts to improve the lives of millions around the world are some of the most far reaching and well-respected in the celebrity world, the Global Fund faces scrutiny for a gap in excess of $30 million in its accounts.
The Sundance Film Festival 2011 is in full swing, and what better way to get a glimpse of the action than to speak with Robert Redford, the founder of the festival as well as the Sundance Channel? In the video below, you can see what the legendary actor has to say about this year's Sundance Film Festival.
As you might have expected, the Oscars nomination list for 2011 is full of a lot of great films and talented individuals, which makes picking Oscars 2011 winners pretty difficult. However, we've decided to take on the challenging task of sifting through the Oscars nominations and picking potential Academy Awards winners. Obviously, no one really knows who the Oscars 2011 winners will be, but we're going to give it a shot.
Mean Girls 2? Is it really happening? Apparently, yes. Although the original Mean Girls dropped in 2004 (yes, it's been that long), Mean Girls 2 is slated to premiere tonight on ABC Family, with a DVD release February 1. Unsurprisingly, Mean Girls 2 will not feature Lindsay Lohan, whose legal problems have all but derailed her career. However, that won't hold Mean Girls 2 back; one of the Plastics actresses, Nicole Anderson (Hope), explained that Mean Girls 2 is more intense than the original.
The band doesn't sound anything like Lynyrd Skynyrd, but Memphis May Fire may be the hottest thing to come out of the south since the producers of the unfortunately ubiquitous "Sweet Home Alabama." Memphis May Fire actually couldn't be farther in sound from the classic rockers of "Freebird" fame, but that doesn't make them incapable of turning heads. The Texas-based band has been compared to the likes of Underoath and Every Time I Die, favoring a sound commonly (and quite ambiguously) classified as "post-hardcore," but adding a unique southern element. The band released Sleepwalking (download here) on Trustkill Records, home of Bullet For My Valentine, It Dies Todayand other intense acts.

Italy - 2009 Champions
It concluded as anticipated – the Italians reigning supreme over the United States after securing an untouchable 3-0 edge to win the 2009 Fed Cup by BNP Paribas title. A second ever Fed Cup success for Italy and the third of four years that the Italians have been showcased in the Final, previously winning in 2006. The success makes Italy the top nation in the Fed Cup rankings come Monday morning, and rightly so. They've proven to be a powerhouse of the international competition in recent years. The team was delirious, the fans were wild with cheer, and the passionate Italian music shrieked out of the loudspeakers to paint a fervent scene of excitement. Pennetta hugged and kissed Captain Corrado Barazzutti after her final backhand passing shot scored a 75 62 win over Melanie Oudin to polish off the Fed Cup victory.
Remember Barazzutti from yesterday, when Francesca Schiavone deemed him the godly one? Well, today Pennetta confirmed "he can be." However, the lowdown is that Barazzutti wasn't really looking like a God when the team – yes, those women players are strong – lifted him above their heads with a little help from some external team members and kept throwing him in the air. But he certainly looked like a happy camper, however, part of that might have been that they didn't drop him on his head. Celebrations continued with the squad doing a run around the court with the Italian flag – always a pre-requisite and a fabulous photo opportunity. One must say that Pennetta looked ready to draw the lines on the festivities when she was being chased down by someone waving a spraying bottle of champagne in her direction. But it's all in good fun, isn't it, when you're champions of the world! As for Oudin, she took the loss hard and while a competitor should do so, she also needs to be mindful of being thrown into the team leader position when Serena Williams pulled out of the weekend at the last minute. Oudin represented the U.S. with grace and a great effort in fighting to the very last point and is bound to be a Fed Cup force in the future.
The second day of the Fed Cup Final began with a special award presentation to name the 2009 Fed Cup Award of Excellence winners. And the envelope please – debut U.S. Fed Cup captain Mary Joe Fernandez and Italy's Silvia Farina take home the honours. Fernandez was a member of the 1996 winning Fed Cup team and, as captain, led the U.S. to its first Fed Cup Final since 2003. Farina represented Italy on nine Fed Cup teams and three Olympic teams, winning 23 Fed Cup matches, which is more than any other Italian player. Fernandez and Farina had a group of fans calling their names out to pose for photos during the on-court ceremony presided over by ITF President Francesco Ricci Bitti, International Tennis Hall of Fame and Museum President, Emerita Jane Brown Grimes, and past Fed Cup Award of Excellence recipients, Lea Pericoli of Italy (won in 2007) and Francoise "Frankie" Durr of France (won in 2005). "Thank you very much and I'm very proud to receive this award," Fernandez said. "I am so happy to be involved again in Fed Cup. I think I'm the first American to win this very special award." As for what Farina said, well I must admit my Italian isn't just dodgy, it's non-existent. So while I'd love to tell you all her words, I am unable to do so. However, what I can say is the fans responded favourably to what she said and she looked happy to be honoured.
Lots of the fans, which I must say were heavily weighted as a male audience, were taking photos around the grounds and of the players. But, of course, the media relies on photojournalists to do the professional job and here at the Fed Cup finals the Signore Snapper is the well-known Paul Zimmer of Germany. Where there's tennis, Zimmer will be – check out his photo and make sure to look for him at your next tennis outing. Some would say it's appropriate that the media was located in the children's playground area of the Rocco Polemeni – the private club site hosting the Fed Cup Final in Reggio Calabria. While I didn't notice any media swinging or sliding, it might be because they save those skills for the interview room where you often need initiative to get great answers to great questions – Okay, no laughing here necessary! Almost every tournament site features booths on site with items for purchase. Usually the offerings are related to the sport – did you know that you can buy practically anything you want with a tennis racket and/or ball emblazoned on it? Here at Reggio Calabria, however, the booths featured less about tennis and more about what you expect to see in Italy – stunning pottery, Murano glass, and jewelry. Now that's clever – bring the tourist goods directly to the tennis fans.
I realise everyone is now waiting for the report from yesterday's taste testers, who jaunted off to Cesare, the gelato joint that the locals claim is the best in all of Italy. There were four of us who chose gelato over another bottle of wine after our scrumptious dinner of antipasti and pizza at Via Veneto (highly recommended as is Etoile if you're heading to Reggio Calabria). Let's just say that the fitter, skinnier members of our group stayed behind, but those of us who went gelato weren't disappointed. While we've all had our share of gelato in Italy, none of us felt we could consider ourselves expert enough to weigh in on the best in Italy claim. However, none of us were disappointed (my Mozart and café flavors were delectable) and we can say at 11 o'clock at night the place was teeming with patrons despite the fact it was a chilly night when most might not favor ice cream for dessert. Yes, stick Cesare on your must-do list if you're head to Reggio Calabria anytime soon. Now, there might be a number of tennis fans out there who are sad that this is the final blog from this year's Fed Cup finale extravaganza. Please, do not despair. There's good news as in just a few weeks time it will be 'Blog from Barcelona' time on the Davis Cup website (DavisCup.com) when Spain takes on Czech Republic for the honour of being the 2009 Davis Cup champions.
Sandra Harwitt Sandra, an American sportswriter for longer than she's willing to admit, has travelled the world to cover tennis for major publications, such as ESPN.com, The Miami Herald, and Associated Press. Her biggest problem of late is managing to pack worldwide purchases into suitcases and still meet the airline weight restrictions.

>> Log in to view employment statistics
Co-operative Education lists current student employment rates:
- by faculty,
- program of study,
- and level of work term.
The employment rates display both employed and unemployed students.
- Employed students:
- Includes co-op students returning to a previous employer, arranging their own job, and matched with a job through JobMine.
- Unemployed students:
- Co-op students scheduled for a work term, but have not yet found employment.
Not every co-op student finds a job
The co-op program does not guarantee you employment. Historically, our overall employment rates have varied between 86-99.9 per cent.
You may not find employment for your co-op work term. The majority of unemployed students each term tend to be at the junior level, looking for a first or second work term.
Here are some reasons you may be unsuccessful at finding employment:
- How much effort you put into the job search process
- Your employable and interview skills
- Work location preferences
- Availability of jobs in your field
- Which jobs you choose to apply to
- Economy trends
If you're unable to find employment for your work term, Co-operative Education will continue to work with you to help you find a job into the beginning of the work term.
At this point, you can:
- arrange your own employment that will count for co-op credit.
- return to school for another academic term (need prior approval).
- find a non-co-op (no credit) job that allows you to earn money and take a WatPD course.
Depending on your program of study, you'll need four to six work terms credit for your co-op degree.
