I can't decide if it's the mustaches or Al Pacino shouting his lines that make this look like Generic Cop Movie 2011 Edition. Sundance's closing entry, Son Of No One doesn't really impress with this first trailer.
Channing Tatum stars as a cop with some kind of tragedy in his past. He's working the beat in the Queens housing projects where he was raised until a reporter starts digging up dirt about his childhood and deceased Cop Dad. Al Pacino and Ray Liotta (who didn't get the mustache memo) serve as his advisors while guarding whatever secret from his past that inevitably won't have a very good pay off in the end. Also, Katie Holmes is here playing Stressed Out Katie Holmes. And Tracy Morgan will definitely get shot. (MTV)

New Jersey Governor Christie hospitalized
The governor attended an education conference and a congressional fundraiser in Iowa on Monday, where he again told reporters he was not running for president. He has said that his four school-age children and further goals in his first term rule out a White House bid, but Republicans continue to court him.
Christie has been open about some of his health problems.
He has long struggled with his weight, which he said he started putting on after high school when he stopped playing organized sports. He's tried dozens of diets over the years with varying success and has shed some pounds in recent months.
His weight came up during his 2009 campaign against Democrat incumbent Jon Corzine, who ran an ad accusing Christie of "throwing his weight around" to get out of traffic citations while he was U.S. attorney. Christie confronted the ads head on, telling Corzine to "man up and say I'm fat."
In April, Christie told a town hall meeting in Hamilton, "I'm an asthmatic and I take an inhaler every morning."
Christie was named the state's top federal law enforcement officer after playing an important role in President George W. Bush's 2000 campaign in the state.
He soon gained national exposure by overseeing two major terrorism convictions and the convictions of dozens of public officials on corruption charges.
In 2007, Corzine was seriously injured in a car accident on the Garden State Parkway. Corzine's femur bone was broken in two places and he sustained a broken sternum, six broken ribs on each side, a head laceration and a minor fracture on a lower vertebrae.

I'm probably going to lie about where we met...
Ok, I guess I'll just throw out some random facts and see what sticks... -I'm completely addicted to Crossfit and try to get there about four days a week. I could talk about how much I love it foreeeeever, but won't...unless you really want to know ;) -I hate when people put peanut butter in the fridge...it makes it too hard to spread. -I love eating cold chicken lo mein out of the carton the morning after getting it for take-out -I'm never really serious because, let's face it, serious is boring -I'm sarcastic to a fault -I hate drama...unless it's on TNT -I love getting dressed up, but am definitely a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl -I'm an English teacher so, yes, I am secretly correcting your grammar in my head. And if you say that something is "more funner", a little piece of my soul dies. -I love lists -I think that a guy in flip-flops is sexy -I recently discovered Nutella. Holy. Crap. Where has THAT been my entire life?! -I have the most beautiful, fun-loving, sweetest 5-year-old little girl on the planet. So, if dating someone with a kid bothers you, then I'm not for you. And if we do hit it off, don't worry, you probably won't meet her for a looooooong time. I don't introduce my daughter to someone I'm dating until we are fairly serious...so relax :) -My idea of a perfect Sunday in the fall and winter is sitting on the couch in sweats watching football -I love the Phils and the Eagles -I'm tall, I know...telling me about it constantly isn't going to make me any shorter. -I love Daniel Tosh -I love Gladiator, 300, Accepted, Just Friends...I don't like movies that make me cry. For example, I've never seen The Notebook. -I've seen all the Harry Potter movies and secretly wish that Hogwarts was a real place ;) -I love people watching -I love surprises, but hate being surprised. Let me explain...I love surprises, like if someone bought me flowers or a card or something little "just because", but hate being surprised, like if someone jumped out at me to scare me. Does that make any more sense...? -I love sitting on the beach after being there the whole day when it's cold enough to wear a sweatshirt, but warm enough to wear shorts and flip-flops -I'm usually barefoot in the spring and summer -I love live music and going to concerts -I love making people laugh whether it's with or at me -I believe that everyone has a soul mate and that they will find them, eventually -The person I end up with has to make me laugh, be caring, and, most importantly, treat me with respect...I don't tolerate disrespect from anyone -I'm always smiling -I believe that passion is important to a relationship. Now, I don't believe that a relationship should be based AROUND it, but you have to have that spark. I want the person I end up with and I to have that spark that never goes out Sooo....if you have any other questions, just ask me. I'm a pretty open book :)

Middle of the Road
I LOVE the beach! Take me there and I will always be happy :) I also love little Irish pubs, any place where I can dance, and I've always wanted to go to Fogo De Chao, but I've never been. I mean, what's not to love about meat served on a sword?!
Hmm...I love flip-flops, the feeling you get after a great workout, sundresses, swimming in the ocean at 2am, Chinese take-out, Bones, Criminal Minds, Reisling, Thanksgiving (random, but true) and going out to dinner
In my free time I relax as much as possible. I don't have a lot of down time, but when I do I'll watch tv (only for about an hour before I get bored) or read. Otherwise, I'm always doing something. I can have fun anywhere doing just about anything :)
I just finished reading "The Hunger Games" trilogy (I was obsessed). Before that it was books for my Masters or a novel I was teaching.

Dear Filep and iDEALS,
the global current forces are moving towards the principles of 'the minimal' and 'the multifunctional'. Technology is dedicated in pursuing multi-operational devices, procedure-elimination, and simplified, diverse performances. Putting it simply, technology, the synonym of progress and the emblem of our times, is evolving to cover people's needs. First thing required is to understand which are these needs, and second is to find solutions for removing a problem or reducing it to the lowest.
I was bringing my eyebrows together to keep my focus on the presentation of the spring-summer 2012 MM6 line, as thoughts like the above were aiming to distract me, along with the constant banging of the window behind me. I felt quite relieved five minutes later, when I realized why I was troubling my mind like that, whilst gazing at clothes. Problems are part of every common and ordinary day, and it seemed to me that this was an invitation for the MM6 line to provide resolving suggestions to daily people's needs.
There was definitely something about the very 'now' in the female silhouettes of the collection, doubtlessly because it targeted utility, without any track of excessive-sens.
Uniform and domestic innuendos are portrayed on cotton, silk, leather and other natural textiles, treated for texture-free, soft-contact outcomes. Side panels serve as pockets creating an emphasized volume at the point of the hips, and some long dresses feature an elongated curve on one side as opposed to their straight-fitted line on the other side. A short knitted top in a kimono-cut with narrowed sleeve-ends together with a hooded jacket introduce fine drapery. Asymmetric shoulder volume and length on t-shirts to embrace a flowing movement; otherwise silhouettes remain slender.
A general preoccupation with the female back leads to a slight skin revelation by the over-crossing of panels. Coats and knitted jackets with buttons all the way along the spine bring along a vertical division effect. The coats are held together by their belts, which are secretly inserted in the back and the front, leaving the sides loose. Generous décolleté is being rotated to the back, while jumpsuits and dresses are separated by a horizontal slit on the waist in the back.
Little surprises make their appearance. The idea of the convertible is being explored by cylindrical knit pieces to be deduced either as hoods or as skirts, accompanying knitted tops. Separate panels with two pockets can be unzipped from the upper part of jackets and t-shirts, and be tied around the waist on their own. Take the straps hanging at the very bottom of a dress, button them on the shoulders, and abracadabra, you have a double-layer t-shirt.
Decoration is absent; only the necessary show up. Accordingly, the colour palette keeps a discreet character, with tones of black, white, blue, denim, nude and brown, whilst bright pink and stripes introduce a summery feel. Hole punched cotton t-shirts and trousers, reflect Margiela's view of embellishment. There are no tricks played; clean in construction the clothes keep however a reserved attitude and you'd have to get close enough to hear their whispers.
Details take the role of a commentator on context, technique, and use. Colour spraying, operated from the inside, marks a distinction between the lined and unlined parts of certain pieces, and makes up for the decolouration and erosion effects. Several references of archetypal design elements appear: partially opened or exposed seams, a black apron dress, a raincoat that gets compressed in one of its pockets, jacket details occasionally reversed and misplaced on other types of garments. Traces of a waistcoat's structure are transferred on the fronts of a male white shirt and some dresses; t-shirts bear twisted overlaying panels on their back and the sides.

Dear iDEALS, for the past seven days, you must have certainly noticed the limited number of blogposts featured on Un nouVeau iDEAL. The reason was only because I was visiting Athens for two major projects. The first will be announced to you a bit later and the second is what this post is about.
My dear friend photographer Mara Desypris, with the support of Ozon magazine and Yiorgos Kelefis, put together "Random" an exhibition focusing on the "pre-digital" period of her work. Along with art director Dionysis Dimoulitsas - with whom we were appointed curators - helped Mara and made a four-years-of-waiting desire become reality.
To understand more about "Random" read a great conversation between Mara Desypris and Yatzer.
Here are some images I did while putting together the project along with some snapshots from last night's opening...
The event was a huge success with over 700 people attending!

"Fashion goes out of fashion" says veteran creative director Marc Ascoli.
A jury member for the upcoming Hyères Fashion + Photography Festival, Ascoli is known as the man behind the image of Yohji Yamamoto, Martine Sitbon, Jil Sander for many years. He knows the times change, and yet the thirst for creativity is never quenched. Here's a taste of Hyères.
FILEP MOTWARY/UN NOUVEAU IDEAL: : What makes a young designer interesting in your eyes ?
MarcAscoli: His/her sensibility before anything else, that he/she has something to say. But also the degree of creativity, the ability to show he/she doesn't fit the mold or follow established models. A young designer, to be interesting, needs to reflect his era and talk about the times.
Marc Ascoli portrait by Rene Habermacher during the Hyeres 2012 Jury selection.
MALI/SKATTIE: Once you've started working with a brand, what is your degree of involvement and counseling?
M.A: It really depends on the intensity of the relationship I share with the person. Today the difficulty is to know which direction a brand wants to go, how to express its singularity.
Marc Ascoli for Calvin Klein, Photography Davis Sims
MISHA/TOKYO FASHION DIARIES: Today, it seems essential for a designer to have a public persona. How does that affect you ?
M.A: The current situation is ambiguous. Designers are personae, they embody and diffuse the image of the brand.
Taking into account the investments made by fashion houses in terms of publicity, designers have become true flag bearers. But that's where the error often lies, to hire people gifted in public relations but much less in terms of style. Today there is a "bottom line" in fashion, people tend to look at things commercially. Does the buzz which personality give off equal the quality of the offering ?
The question today is primordial. [In the case of] Sarah Burton for Mc Queen, we don't see a flamboyant personality, but everyone is floored by her work. Even though it's a time of crisis, everything is about competitivity. Considering the number of collections (men's, women's, pre-collections), it's about standing out through quality not only personality.
Marc Ascoli for Martine Sitbon, Photography Nick Knight
RENÉ / THE STIMULEYE: What is the role of the stylist in the creation of a fashion image ? How did the evolution of this role impact the role of the artistic/creative director ?
M.A: There's now a lot of confusion between stylists and artistic directors, but I believe the two have very different roles. The artistic director works on the long term image of the brand, its DNA and visual impact, whereas the stylist reflects the brand's fluctuating image by styling the clothes, whether it's for ad campaigns or a fashion shows.
BRUNO / BRRUN: Does fashion have a political role beyond aesthetic and function ?
M.A: Fashion takes place in a different universe. It's a universe where you're bringing something else to reality, where there is little concern for politics, because it's all about creation and individuals. You can see today that there is a huge gap between fashion and the political reality of our times. Fashion goes out of fashion; fashion is irrational so it can't be political.
Marc Ascoli for Yohji Yamamoto, Photography Davis Sims
ANTOINE / THE STIMULEYE: When and how does a creator, singer, artist need to work with an art or creative director ?
M.A: An artist always needs an alter ego with whom to exchange ideas, to help write his/her story. It's not just a matter of positioning. The artistic director has to be sensitive enough to understand the artist's universe and then catalyze it ; establish an image visually and eventually commercially.
H.B: What is the last thing which stimulated you ?
M.A: Being a very curious person, I am constantly stimulating my creativity through various cultural activities. The exhibit of Madame Grès curated by Olivier Saillard at Musée Bourdelle really seduced me. Everything was in its place, the location, the clothes, the spirit. I was also very stimulated by the latest Comme des Garçons fashion show. I thought it was majestic.

Meet the Legends of Pikes Peak
We're off to the famous race this weekend and these are the people that make Race to the Clouds smashing
Posted: 08 Aug 2012
He's not called Monster in that ironic Little John sort of way - the man is quite literally a legendary animal. As well as establishing Suzuki's in-house motorsport division, Suzuki Sport, he's the only man that's broken the 10-minute barrier up the hill, earning himself the title of fastest man in the history of the race.
He's also been racing at Pikes since 1988, piloting everything from a Suzuki Vitara to a full-blown SX4 racer. Oh, and he's won every single event since 2006...
It might seem weird, then, that that the reigning champion will be taking an EV up the hill this year. But Monster's keen to extol the virtues of electric cars. As a more mature racer - 62, to be precise - he also wants people over 50 years old to live more active, happy lives. Awww.
There are less cerebral reasons for taking an EV too - because air pressure drops so much up the course, there are no performance decreases for the four-wheel drive racer.
You can watch last year's run here. Watch out for the terrified bee.

Application of Tuition-waiver Program to Korean Schools Demanded in Japan
|Pyongyang, March 29 (KCNA) -- A rally and demonstration took place in Osaka, Japan on March 24 in demand of the application of tuition-waiver program for senior high schools to the Korean schools in Japan and payment of subsidies.
The actions were attended by officials of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan in Kinki, other Koreans in Japan and Japanese citizens, more than 3 000 in all.
At the rally speakers protested against the Japanese government and local self-governing bodies' unreasonable discrimination against Koreans schools.
They charged that it is unreasonable to refuse to apply the program to Korean schools only unlike other foreign schools.
They called for pooling efforts to fight to the last to protect the Korean schools and ensure the Korean students' right to learn.
Then they staged a demonstration.

Last week's Culture Weekend Staycation to Holi in NYC was great. In all, the Phagwah Parade in Richmond Hills, Queens is a very fun, energy filled event that would be great for adults and kids alike. There is one caveat, however, try not to inadvertently attend an after party at one of the local restaurants in the area unless, of course, you're looking to party. This was not the case for me. I was looking to grab a quick lunch after the parade at Singh's Roti Shop and then explore the area referred to as Little Guyana.
However, as I approached Singh's Roti Shop, I noticed a line forming outside. The reviews indicated this restaurant had the best doubles in town, but dang! Once I made it through the throngs of people standing outside the restaurant inside I quickly realized that it was more than doubles cooking in here. Singh's Roti Shop, at least for today, doubled as a party spot for parade goers. People were gyrating, swirling small towels and flags above their heads with one hand and a beer in the other all while decorated with colored powders and sweat draped over their bodies. I was definitely in the wrong place at that moment because I had no powder on me and was as clean as a whistle until…
A rather impish man, seemingly engaged in the festivities, paused his fun (as if programmed to do so), turned around (as if on a mission to find me), caught my glance and then it was on….my face and clothes that is. Tons of powder, all over my clean as a whistle outfit. I thought I had escaped the color brigade, but it finally caught up to me. I used every bit of kind energy in me to crack a smile at the man and play it off like it wasn't a big deal.
Following my powder bath, I proceeded to purchase the food that I came for at Singh's Roti Shop. There were so many people crowded around the buffet placing orders, trying to yell above the music, that it felt like I was a trader on Wall Street. I doubt the restaurant is like this on a normal day. But back to the food, the doubles at Singh's Roti Shop were as amazing as the reviews suggest. The best food you can get at $1. For those who don't know, which I didn't either, doubles are warm, fluffy roti bread filled to the brim with garbanzo beans smothered in curry sauce and red pepper sauce. The dish is great on-the-go food and is quite filling. If I were in this area again, I would definitely stop by Singh's for a quick bite! Next time, I'll make certain to get an early lunch before the post-Holi festivities take place so I don't have to dance myself out of the restaurant (which is what I literally had to do).
So, would I return to Little Guyana for the Holi Parade next year? An absolute yes, but I would come better prepared. My advice:
1. Wear the dingiest clothing you own. I'm talking painter's jumpsuit. It's guaranteed you will get covered in colored powder and you don't want stains on your good clothing. This might be difficult for the average NYC fashionista, so bring a change of clothes, baby wipes for cleaning your face and makeup. The local Rite Aid has a reasonable bathroom to use.
2. Next, come with an open mind and a lot of patience. As with any parade, there will be crowds and loudness.
3. Lastly, if you want to eat at Singh's Roti Shop, which I highly recommend, or any other local restaurants during the Holi Parade, try eating early before the festivities begin to avoid the party crowd, unless, of course, you're looking to party.
4. Looking for traditional Indo-Caribbean food items that may be hard to find where you live? There are tons of open air markets in Little Guyana within walking distance of the parade.
So bring your family, kids included, and have some fun in this beautiful and majestic Little Guyana community!
At Home…
For the at home activities for our Culture Weekend Staycation Holi Parade, I prepared a delectable dish of Chana with Paneer courtesy of Sheba's Recipes. This was a fairly simple recipe and very tasty. Instead of using a pressure cooker, which I don't currently own, I used my crock pot and slow cooked the dry chickpeas for 4 hours.
Next, I prepared for dessert, Gogola, or Banana Beignet, a popular Guyanese and Phagwah recipe. Meet the child of banana bread and a warm funnel cake! This dessert is best eaten fresh and warm.
"A man is only as big as his ambition."
In our Culture Weekend movie, The Mystic Masseur, we follow the idealist and intellectual, Ganesh, who goes from losing his job and his father to finding his passion in writing books while continuing his father's spiritual healing business. This is a beautiful movie with a spiritual, contemplative undertone that will also have you laughing. Some memorable moments from the movie include Ganesh healing a young boy who's being followed by a dark cloud and Ganesh curing a man of lust for his bicycle. You'll have to see the movie to believe me!
I hope that you enjoyed this Culture Weekend to Holi in the City! Please feel free to comment with your thoughts or experiences.
Stay tuned for the April Culture Weekend Staycations to Scotland, Thailand, Cambodia and Japan!

Cee Lo Green performs with the Jubilee! showgirls during the Caesars Entertainment "Escape To Total Rewards" concert in Los Angeles, Thursday, March 1, 2012. Simultaneous concert events were held in New York, Chicago, New Orleans and Los Angeles. (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello)
LAS VEGAS: The singer-songwriter behind the Grammy-winning 2010 single "Forget You" and the 2006 hit "Crazy" is settling down - at least for a few months - in a Las Vegas residency.
Cee Lo Green says his semi-permanent show, "Loberace," will launch Aug. 29 at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip, and run at least through the end of the year.
"The production will combine Cee Lo's flamboyant sense of style and over-the-top creativity," producers said in a statement, adding that the show "will be as inspired and visually alive as Cee Lo Green."
Organizers say the show will include a musical journey through time, with tributes to Price and the Rolling Stones. "Mind-twisting magic and sexified showgirls" are also on tap.
The 37-year-old Green, known for his soulful voice and extravagant costumes, is a coach on the NBC show "The Voice." His break came in the mid-1990s in the southern rap scene, but has evolved to include Gnarls Barkley, a collaboration between him and DJ-producer Danger Mouse, and his 2010 solo album "The Lady Killer."
The 28 shows through the end of December are scheduled for late nights, and some follow Planet Hollywood's "Peepshow" production in the 1,400-seat theater.
Green told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he sees himself continuing Sin City entertainment tradition.
"I love the city. I can't wait to be a part of it. I can't wait to be officially there," Green said in an interview. "From this generation I would just like to be able to carry on, and pick up the torch and continue to make Vegas a place to be."

Personalized learning transforms students' daily experiences so that they are customized to their individual needs and strengths. It is rooted in the expectation that students should progress through content based on demonstrated learning instead of seat time.
By contrast, standards-based accountability centers its ideas about what students should know, and when, on grade-level expectations and pacing. The result is that as personalized learning models become more widespread, practitioners are increasingly encountering tensions between personalized learning and state and federal accountability structures.
This paper seeks to help policymakers enable smart innovation and safeguard key accountability functions. By understanding the development of personalized learning and accountability, and articulating the tensions building between them, policymakers can create future accountability policies that work with personalized learning approaches and not against them.

Airline industry insurance providers, after having been hit with airline insurance claims during past years, experienced a relatively calm 2011, with less insurance claims coming through the door.
By the end of July, the insurance industry paid out $471 million in claims to airline companies, which included claims filed for major and minor losses, versus $1.3 billion during the same period in 2010, according to a mid-2011 report from Aon Aviation, a risk management services, insurance, and reinsurance brokerage firm.
A report by Willis Group Holdings, a global insurance broker, suggests that by the end of the third quarter, losses were at $794 million, the lowest since 2006.
There were three major losses in 2011: An Asiana Airlines Boeing cargo aircraft, built in 2006 and valued at $122 million, crashed in South Korea at the end of July; an Egyptian Boeing aircraft, built in 1997 and valued at $60 million, caught fire while still at the airport; and a Caribbean Airlines Boeing passenger aircraft, built in 2007 and valued at $48 million, broke apart after landing.
Airline firm claims filed from January to September 2011 were 36 percent lower than those filed during the same period in 2010, without including claims filed for minor losses, and are 56 percent if claims filed for minor losses are included.
"After two years of very high claims, 2011 has so far been very positive from a claims point of view," according to the September Aon Airline Insurance market news report.
Airline insurance brokers include a caveat in all their publications, stating that a calm period could be overshadowed by future major losses and thus do not recommend that airlines reduce or curtail their insurance coverage.
Aviation News Ltd., a daily newsletter regarding the latest aviation industry information, quoted Aon Aviation in July: "The airline industry still represents a considerable risk, however, a single loss could mean that the claims statistics for 2011 overtake the long term average. Equally, as we have seen in many other years, a string of incidents at the mid-point of the year can change the position significantly."
Insurance Coverage Based on Past History
Given the low number of 2011 airline industry claims filed, "pressure on the price of insurance is likely to remain fairly even for the rest of the year, assuming that the level of losses remains below the long term average," suggests the Aon report.
By September, the airline insurance sector experienced a 22 percent increase in insurance coverage, mainly because two airlines that already bought insurance coverage are adding to their fleets significantly.
Between 60 percent and 80 percent of the airlines will have to renew their insurance coverage before the end of 2011, although no information has come out of the airline industry concerning possible cutbacks or increases in their fleets, meaning buying or retiring aircraft.
Three airline companies have placed insurance policy renewals with insurance companies with two doubling their airline fleet and another increasing its fleet by about 40 percent.
Insurance premiums will remain relatively stable and insurance underwriters don't predict major changes in the cost of insurance coverage, as airline insurance premiums are closely matched to claims filed by individual airlines.
"The reality is that the price of airline insurance is currently very closely aligned to both exposure and particularly claims," said the Aon report.
Another caveat is that individual airlines may experience a price adjustment, which is mostly upward, based on the individual company's prior years' claims filing record, unless they can prove major improvements and have addressed the causes that led to prior years' claims.
"Airlines that have suffered losses in the last couple of years will still be seeing their cost of insurance rise unless they take proactive steps to reduce the risk that they represent," suggests Aon.
Airline Industry Economic Outlook
"For 2011, net profit is expected to decline to US$9.1 billion as higher fuel prices and the European debt crisis adversely impact the industry's bottom-line," according to a 2011 Deutsche Bank analysis of the global airline sector.
The airline industry experienced acceleration of costs between 2000 and 2010, with fuel per gallon increasing by 170 percent, wages and associated costs increasing by 35 percent, and airport landing fees per ton landed increasing by 70 percent, according to an Air Transport Association (ATA) mid-September economic evaluation.
Because of competitive forces, air travel passenger revenues have not kept pace with U.S. inflation, having increased by only 6.7 percent between 2000 and 2010, when compared to gasoline, food, and college tuition, which increased on the average of about 94.6 percent during those years.
Operating expenses were $9.7 billion, while operating revenue was $1.3 billion less at $8.4 billion, during the last 10 years.
As of September, domestic flights in the U.S decreased by 10.5 percent since 2007. Although international flights increased by 5.6 percent during the same period, they did not increase nearly enough to make up for revenue lost from decreased domestic flights.
While U.S. airlines are struggling, U.S. airports are considered in satisfactory financial condition and received investment grade ratings from Standard and Poors (S&P).
Overall, aviation helps drive the U.S. economy and accounts for between 4.9 and 5.2 percent of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The GDP is the total market value of all goods and services produced in a country during a given time period. In 2010, the GDP in the U.S. amounted to $14.7 trillion, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. At the end of June, the current dollar GDP had increased to $15 trillion, an increase of 3.5 percent over the first quarter of 2011.
Airline economic activities contribute between $1.2 and $1.3 trillion a year to the U.S. GDP. At the same time, airline direct employment provided more than 10 million jobs in the U.S.
"Every day, the airline industry propels the economic takeoff of our nation. It is the great enabler, knitting together all corners of the country, facilitating the movement of people and goods that is the backbone of economic growth," said the ATA economic evaluation.
Time to Update Airline Ratings
In early 2011, Deutsche Bank suggested in an airline industry analysis that airlines should be rated again if the past year's airline mergers and structural changes resulted "in a more profitable, viable, and less volatile industry (i.e. higher returns), then share prices should be valued at higher multiples due to reduced equity risk premium."
Only Qantas Airways Ltd., an Australian airline based in Sydney, Australia, enjoys an investment grade rating from S&P—BBB, one of the lowest investment grade ratings. The German airline Lufthansa AG and the U.S.-based Southwest Airlines Co. are just a smidgen below investment grade (BBB-).
An investment grade of BBB by S&P, Fitch's Investors Service, and Moody's Investors Service means that the particular rated firm will fulfill its payment obligations, and any bonds floated by said firms are of the risk quality a bank would consider a reasonable investment. Anything below investment grade is considered a Junk Bond.
Airline Traffic Trending Up
Although by only a small amount, domestic and international airline traffic increased by 1.6 percent to 66.1 million in June 2011 when compared to June 2010. During the first two quarters in 2011, 2.3 percent more passengers traveled by airplane versus the same period in 2010.
Among U.S. airlines, most passengers took Delta Air Lines Inc., followed by Southwest Airlines Co. and American Airlines Inc. Among the 10 top U.S. airlines, Alaska Airlines was in 10th position, with Skywest Airlines Inc. in ninth and AirTran Airways in eighth position.
"During the first six months of 2011, Delta carried more total system and Southwest carried more domestic passengers than any other U.S. airline. … American carried the most international passengers," according a Sept. 15 U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) press release.
According to the latest figures available from BTS, freight shipments by airplane increased in July by 3.8 percent over the same month in 2010 and by 1.6 percent from the same month in 2008.
"Long-term trend: Freight shipments are down 2.3 percent in the five years from July 2006. Shipments are up 10.0 percent in the 10 years from July 2001 despite recent declines," according to a Sept. 14 press release by BTS.

We are proud to announce our Catback exhaust for the 2008-2014 Subaru STi Hatchback/5 Door. Our goal with this project was to develop a reasonably priced, manufacturable high flowing, low-drone design when combined with our 3″ mandrel bent divorced downpipe
The result was a 3″ into dual 2.25″ axleback featuring quad exit tips, all stainless TIG welded construction that is Handbuilt to Order in America. Using well designed designed dogleg y's on each exhaust tip for a flush and tucked fit in the rear bumper valence cutouts without risking overheating or melting the valence. This design also has the benefit of perfectly even flow from the right to left as well as out of each of the four tips. No biased flow here like you may find on muffler designs that use a baffled internal resonance chamber.
The Midpipe is a free-flowing straight-through 3″ mandrel bent system that utilizes one 3" resonator to smooth out any rasp. Our design uses a v-band connection in the rear to allow the user to fine-tune the fitment of the exhaust. The MidPipe also uses a flex coupling near the AxleBack connection flange to eliminate exhaust "wag" found in other exhausts.
The CatBack system includes all required hardware, a 3" aluminum gasket with a raised sealing ring to provide a positive seal at the AxleBack joint, and a 3" donut gasket similar to the factory gasket. We use a factory style donut gasket due to the superior sealing ability of this style of gasket.
For comparison purposes we will use a scale of 1-10 for volume, 1 being stock and 10 being no mufflers.
5" Mufflers: This is our new design that uses our in-house mufflers. We build each of these mufflers by hand here in our shop with our usual attention to detail. This "Less Quiet" version uses 2 mufflers that measure 6" long and 5" outer diameter. Despite their small size, these mufflers are extremely effective. We offer this version with our 3.5" single wall slash cut tips in both staggered and non staggered flavors. We also offer this version with our exclusive double wall 3.5" or 4" tips both staggered and non-staggered at a $175 or $150 premium, respectively. This is about a 5 on the scale.
4" Mufflers: This is our new design that uses our in-house mufflers. We build each of these mufflers by hand here in our shop with our usual attention to detail. This "Louder" version uses 2 mufflers that measure 6" long and 4" outer diameter. Despite their small size, these mufflers are extremely effective. The 4" mufflers are louder than the 5" mufflers. We offer this version with our 3.5" single wall slash cut tips in both staggered and non staggered flavors. We also offer this version with our exclusive double wall 3.5" or 4" tips both staggered and non-staggered at a $175 or $150 premium, respectively. This is about a 7 on the scale.
No Mufflers: Finally, the sound of the Sedan Muffler Delete for the hatch! We have had people banging down our door for this since we released the original muffler delete for the sedan. We offer this version with our 3.5" single wall slash cut tips in both staggered and non staggered flavors. We also offer this version with our exclusive double wall 3.5" or 4" tips both staggered and non-staggered at a $175 or $150 premium, respectively. This is a 10 on the scale.
Please keep in mind that we only trust extremely skilled craftsmen to build your parts. Qualified welders who are able to meet our standards in both fit and finish are extremely hard to find and as a result are very expensive. The end result is the highest quality, most functional product that is also a work of art worthy of a gallery.

If you take your car to the track or any organized racing, you will want to pick up a few urethane exhaust hanger bushings. The system uses 5 hangers, so if you want to upgrade all of them, choose the 5 hanger option.

This exhaust sounds amazing. With the larger muffler it is still loud when you cold start and when you accelerate hard, but is classy and pretty quiet at idle after a quick warmup. This coupled with an invidia catless downpipe got me to 275 HP to the wheels after a tune at snail performance. 100% worth the wait
Posted by Alex on 16th Jul 2014
I had the Invidia N1 Dual CB on my 14 wrx and I liked it but drone was way to much for me and I wanted the quad look back. I was hesitant due to the money factor and this exhaust, but I did it anyway. I was more than happy when I received it, craftsmanship is amazing, welds are spot on, they include everything you need to mount it perfectly, even a donut gasket that most other brands do not offer. I got the 4in muffflers and resonators and its sounds perfect, no drone whatsoever and it has the subie rumble from hell now. Fits my back exhaust exit of my hatch perfectly too. Thank you for an amazing exhaust Nameless!

2012 WRX, 3.5" staggered single wall with resonator and 4" mufflers.
I've had this exhaust now for two months now and if you want a short and sweet review here it is: scroll back to the top and buy this.
First off, the guys here are super helpful. Anyone who has had a hatch/wagon that had the muffler fall off will tell you...the sound inside can be a little bit much over time. So when I see a no muffler option, obviously I wanna take it because I routinely make poor decisions. But seriously, I didn't wanna ruin the enjoyment I get from my car so I called 'em up and asked what they thought. For anyone reading this review and is curious, what I was told and what sold me on the 4" mufflers was the guy I talked to telling me that if I ended up getting no mufflers and went to a downpipe later on, the sound would be brutal and probably ruin the fun of driving.
The quality of this exhaust is incredible. The welds are perfect, but more importantly, everything fit up perfectly. To make things even sweeter, the axleback pipe is like a symmetrical work of art. I'm a full supporter of small companies like this one and with good reason, when they produce products of this quality.
Oh yeah, it sounds great and the gains are noticeable with or without an AP. People are always complimenting the superior sound over their setup.
I'm not a big guy, but it took me an hour to remove the old exhaust and bolt up this one by myself.
I think that covers everything...
Posted by Jacob on 28th May 2014
Being a person who suffers from a need for instant gratification, I can tell you it was absolutely worth the wait. I didn't have to wait long but I'm glad I did...
The quality of the welds is superb, a true work of art. Fitment was fantastic. Using the "V" clamp for adjustability was pure genius! Customer service was top notch, I changed my order up mid way without issue and still received my parts in an expectable amount of time. Really pleased with my dealings with them personally.
Now for the Sound...Pure sex! I went with 3.5" double walled (which filled out the valance perfectly), staggered, 4" mufflers, resonated. At first it was loud, a good loud. The kind of loud that makes you giggle like a child. Wonderfully low boxer grumble at idle. ASBSOLUTELY NO RASP WHATSOEVER. No tin can sound here folks, just pure heaven. Honestly what the car should sound like from the factory. Once a nice layer of carbon built up on the inside it quieted down quite a bit. Very happy and will recommend and purchase from them in the future. Fan for life.
I wish I was a professional author so I could accurately portray how amazingly perfect this exhaust is.
Keep up the good work.

I picked up a catback for my 13 STI hatch with a resonator, 4" mufflers, and 3.5" single wall tips. Great craftsmanship, the welds are flawless, and the quality of the build is top notch. At cold start it's a little loud, but quiet when warmed up. From what I can tell if you stay out of the throttle it doesn't attract too much attention, but at WOT it will rock you socks off and definitely turn some heads. Altogether it's the best exhaust I've invested in. Nameless puts a good product out and backs it with customer support that anyone's company would envy! The look of the 3.5 in tips just falls in perfect with the clean rear end of the sti hatch. Thank you Ryan for your help with my build.

2012 WRX Hatch, Cat-Back ,Resonator, 4 inch mufflers, Dual 3.5 non staggered, upgraded bushings
If you have an 1.5 hours, a few tools, and some elbow grease, you can have yourself one of the best sounding exhausts on the block. I spent over a year listening to WRX exhausts to find that right note. THIS. IS. IT.
Now with that said I went with the 4 inch mufflers, If it's too loud, you're too old. I love it, others will hate it. We need haters though, or we wouldn't have this great exhaust system to piss them off.
The pure rumble out of this exhaust is awesome, I cant say enough about it. Paired it with the Cobb AP = Beast mode.
In closing, it is the best money I have spent so far.
Keep up the good work Nameless
Thank you,

Options: Magnaflow muffler, non resonated, 4" double wall staggered tips.
General appreciation: In my opinion, this is how the car should sound from factory. Perfect setup for grown ups like me that want to wake up the engine sound without getting all the negative attention you usually get from non enthusiasm. The car is a little loud when cold and idling at 2000RPM and the drone from the OEM exhaust at that same RPM is of course amplified. I red a lot of reviews on the forums before buying and people complaining about this setup have really picky ears.
Materials: This exhaust if a piece of art and is really well thought. For example, the flexible part is at the back which will reduce a lot of unwanted muffler vibration. The only problem is the Magnaflow muffler is susceptible to rust since it's 409 stainless steel. I ended up painting the muffler with high temp paint. Choose the powder coat option for better results.
Tips: 4" tips are the way to go if you want a nice fit. If you prefer something less flashy, I'd go with the 3.5 single wall. If you want a tighter fit with the bumper valence, buy the 5 urethane hangers.
Performance: I noticed a nice mid torque gain. I was really doubtful about Nameless claims performance wise and was really surprised to really feel that much of a difference. I'm stage 1 with Cobb ots maps.
Final thoughts: Nameless Performance exhaust is a real quality product that has nothing to envy big names like Cobb and Invidia. You also get the benefit to choose from different options and customize the product for your liking! I've been running this exhaust for 1 moth now, and no regret!

The exhaust is absolutely awesome. It sounds great. It has a nice deep, low tone that sounds great because of the boxer engine. The exhaust sounds loud on start up but once its warmed up and idle, its a lot quieter. When you hit the gas you hear the beautiful exhaust notes. Its not overly loud but your presence will be known. There's also little to no drone when you're going on the highway. Or maybe I'm used to it.
Posted by Dustin D. on 12th Jan 2014
I bought this exhaust because I was looking for the loudest possible system for my 2013 Subaru WRX. This exceeded everything I could have asked for. I checked videos on YouTube and they provided some help, but listening in person is no comparison.
The craftsmanship of the entire system is top notch, with very nice welds all over.
10/10 would recommend.
Posted by Jeremy on 30th Nov 2013
Let me start with this: instead of reading reviews, you should be placing your order. Nameless Performance separates themselves not only with the superior quality of their hand-crafted products, but with their excellent customer service. These guys are there for you to help you with your car-related questions, and are highly knowledgeable. There is a reason they are growing so quickly; Nameless Performance is a fantastic group of guys.
Anyways, to the exhaust: I have a 2013 WRX hatch with the Nameless catback exhaust ( resonated midpipe, axleback with 5" mufflers and the 4" staggered double-walled tips.) The second the exhaust was installed (made easier by their v-band connectors) and the keys were turned, so sound of beautiful Boxer music was heard. This exhaust has a great deep tone, with absolutely zero rasp, negligible drone and the perfect volume. Expressive during aggressive driving, yet subtle and distinct while cruising. Perfect for a daily-driver. The quality of materials and the hand-crafted welds is immaculate. The double-walled tips look aggressive and I've gotten a ton of compliments on both the look and sound of this exhaust. Even my girlfriend, who hates drone and loud exhausts, loves the Nameless. You simply can't go wrong with this exhaust. Yes, you do have to wait a little while once you place your order since they build everything by hand in-house, even the mufflers. But it is more than worth the quality these guys provide. You're not going to have to worry about failing welds or a sound that changes over time due to muffler packing degrading with this exhaust.
I heard several exhaust systems in person, and none sounded as good, as mature while still being assertive, as the Nameless. Order it now, install, and thank me later. I accept thank you tips via PayPal.

I don't believe that is true. A true auto-focus lens involves a small motor or actuator to move the lens, and significant processing power to determine correct focus. I'm not aware of any phones outside of Japan with that capability.

Residency in Emergency and Critical Care
For more specific program information, please contact the Residency Coordinator.
Program Description:
NCSU CVM offers a 3-year ACVECC-approved in small animal emergency and critical care residency. The residency is designed to prepare candidates for board certification and adheres to guidelines set forth by the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care.
Direct supervised training will take place in the companion animal intensive care unit and the day triage service of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH) under the mentorship of three ACVECC Diplomates (Drs. Bernie Hansen, Terri DeFrancesco and Rita Hanel) and one ACVIM Diplomate (Dr. Steven Marks). Other supervised training in internal medicine, surgery, neurology, ophthalmology, diagnostic imaging, anesthesia and cardiology will be achieved in accordance to ACVECC guidelines.
The intensive care unit is fully equipped to provide state-of-the art care for critically ill patients. The unit is staffed around the clock by 12 veterinary critical care technicians and supported by an animal blood bank service. One of our nurses has achieved AVECCT specialty certificate and several others are in progress in their certification process. We promote a family-friendly environment encouraging owner visitations facilitated by a small visitation room within the ICU. The ICU is a support service that provides patient care and monitoring for approximately 1300 small animal patients annually from all the VTH specialty services such as Internal Medicine, Surgery, Neurology, Cardiology, Oncology, and others.
Residents also participate in daytime and after-hours shifts with the VTH emergency service, a rapidly growing referral and primary care service housed adjacent to the intensive care unit. Case load for the VTH ER service was approximately 1650 cases for 2008 fiscal year. The ER service is staffed with 12 veterinary emergency technicians and 2 staff intern-trained experienced ER clinicians.
Patient care in ICU and ER are supported by a specialist-supervised, fully equipped hospital capable of CT, MRI, and ultrasound imaging, full lab support, and endoscopy. The ICU and ER are fully equipped to provide state of the art continuous emergency and critical care, including but not limited to mechanical ventilation, in-department ultrasound, CBC, chemistry panel and coagulation assessments including TEG, osmometry, invasive blood pressure evaluation and analysis.

I put a spare trans in my bike several years ago and rebuilt the clutch. It worked. But I was riding around everywhere like I was always angry. I would twist that wrist and rev her hard. I would bang up through the gears and again bang them down at the next light. I got really good at banging that box and only missed a gear or had it pop out of a gear or make really loud noises sometimes. Actually it would do at least one of these at almost every shift just not all of them at every shift.
One day I was tired maybe and so was riding around kinda slow. I noticed that I was not making as much noise shifting the box and it was staying in gear, gee. So I decided I would try to relearn how to shift my trans. I practiced preloading. I shifted with purpose but not rushing it. I rode a bit slower but that did not seem a problem. I did this for several months, this slow riding and careful shifting. I was determined that every shift was important and every shift would work like it should and I could do it.
After several months of this and I had not missed a shift or made a really loud noise with the gears for some time I decided I could increase speed. I could lead the pack again. Only I would still not miss shifts or bang fears.
It's been much better for a couple of years now and I will miss a shift once in awhile or bang the gears once in a weeks time maybe. But not like I used to ride.
BTW, I have a black bike and wear black leather and black shoes, I'm almost invisible but other drivers do seem to notice me. I get envious stares from guys and smiles from gals.

I erased my blog about going to the concert in London because I realized I couldn´t afford to go and I didn´t want to spell that out to everyone. But now all the dates for the European tour are announced and there are no dates for Scandinavia and I feel really sad and anxious because I really, really, really wanted to go. I just can´t afford the trip and the hotel aswell as the concert and a VIP experience (yes I wanted a VIP too!). I absolutelly think it would be worth the money just to get to be there and listen to JD playing songs in his mobile studio, but I´m a single mom and I just can´t afford it.
On top of that I feel really stressed out over Christmas now. I have spent a fortune on pointless presents and I haven´t even started on the christmas food yet.
I have a headace and I'm gonna cry now.

NTF Issue Paper. Gastax3.doc. 8-08.
BACKGROUND. The U.S. consumed an average of 21 million barrels of oil per day in 2004, 45% of this amount used as vehicle fuel.1 Americans use about 178 million gallons of gas per day. Demand for gas will rise this summer, because many take vacations. Americans normally rely on vehicle fuel not only to commute but also to operate and manage businesses. Most of our consumable products transport to local points via 7 million trucks, many owned by families.2 A combination of fuel shortages, with supply growing at only 2% annually, and spiraling prices empty our pockets and damage our economy. Business and industry hit with higher fuel prices pass along their costs to consumers. Unfortunately, most consumers lack knowledge of fuel pricing and blame high prices solely on oil corporations, which naturally earn higher profits as the price of crude oil spirals. These corporations earn only 8.2c profit on each gallon of gas sold the consumer, a lower margin than on many other consumer products. Compare this figure to the 44.6c per gallon of gas Nebraskans pay at the pump in state and federal taxes. Exxon Mobil, the largest oil company, produces only 3% of crude oil, too insignificant to influence world markets.
GAS PUMP $$s. When you pump gas into your vehicle, your payment distributes to several entities along the supply route. These entities help set the pump price. About 43 % of your cost goes to crude oil suppliers, like OPEC. The amount of crude oil they produce determines the price of a barrel of oil, now over $120. 11 OPEC nations pump 40% of world oil production and horde 2/3rd of world reserves.3 Whenever OPEC wants to raise the price of crude, it simply reduces production. U.S. oil companies do not control the price of crude. Gas prices jump from this factor but also because, when production curtails, oil companies tremble and raise prices under mere threat of future reductions. The potential for scarcity drives up prices.4 The U.S. imports oil from other countries, but OPEC tracks their oil production and cleverly lessens its own output to maintain its desired barrel price. Refining costs total about 13% of your gas price, or 9c per gallon profit for them. Crude oil transports to refineries, then gas ships to distribution places and gas stations. Distances from oil refineries affect cost. The cost of transportation (which rises with fuel costs) and marketing of individual brands totals about 13% of cost. Federal, state, and local taxes account for about 31% of your cost. Fed excise taxes are 18.4c per gallon. The feds also tax gasohol, ethanol, nonethanol alcohol, alcohol fuel, and diesel fuel. The NE tax on regular gas is 26c per gallon (see our issue paper on state gas taxes). Taxes are the biggest factor in varying prices around the nation.5 High oil prices without any tax relief will reduce real disposable income for an average family of four by $1,324, decrease consumer spending by $79.6 billion, and reduce the number of job opportunities by almost 500,000. Higher prices and slower economic growth will reduce federal tax revenues by $12.4 billion over the next three fiscal years.6 Finally, service stations add a few cents to make their profit. Large chain stores normally charge less or sell at a loss in order to attract customers to their stores.
HIGH-PRICE FACTORS. Pump prices spiral when the world crude oil market restricts, and inventories drop. Our growing gas demand more frequently outpaces refinery capacity. We must import gas from Bahaman refineries. Refineries usually perform general maintenance in spring, which lowers output of gas. Inclement weather like hurricanes, which have damaged offshore drilling facilities, coastal refineries, and shipping ports, and wars raise the pump price. If one tanker sinks or becomes crippled on the ocean, the market restricts. Nebraska gas prices far exceed the national average, because in 1999 the Midwest fell subject to new bureaucratic reformulated gas rules enacted because of radical environmentalists. The feds forced oil companies to alter additives and stop using MTBE. Nebraska uses a special gas blend produced using ethanol instead of MTBE, because of our surplus of corn, the main ingredient in ethanol. Few refineries outside the Midwest produce this kind of gas, which means a limited supply of it. Special blending raises per gallon costs about 30c.
TAKE ACTION. Blame high gas prices on liberal congressmen who hike our fuel taxes and burden private companies with too onerous regulations. High prices result from their failure to act to open domestic resources to drilling. We must produce more of our own gas and oil. Red China now is helping Communist Cuba drill for oil adjacent to our coast, in places that our government bans U.S. oil companies from exploring. Liberal Sen. Arlen Specter and his crowd sticking the oil companies with a windfall profits tax will only cause these companies to pass along their added costs to us. Contact your national senators and representatives and your state senator today to begin pressing the above legislation. Tell them you are disgusted at taking lumps at the pumps!

How to Stop Being Fatalistic
Fatalism is a personal philosophy that all things can, and mostly will, end horribly and come to a predictable eventuality. (Not necessarily death though) The philosophy is likely to come from people being overconfident in their cognitive ability with probability or a general boredom of life, and being generally unimpressed with it.
1Understand that most fatalists fail to recognise that there is an uncertainty of events because humans are not all the same and do not all see the world the in the same way, or act in ways that you might expect, as such events do not always play out the an easily predictable way.Ad
2Note that most fatalists tend to stay away from social situations, even if they are involved somehow, as they prefer to speculate and watch the scenario through to the conclusion rather than influence or that they will not have any effect due to believing they lack something as a person.
3Consider that fatalism is more of a preference to staying out of personal relationship and instead watching events and seeing the outcome.
4Start unlearning fatalist world views. If trying to overcome fatalism, it is simply accepting that not all events lead to one inevitable outcome and that events are much more chaotic and confusing than they first seem.Ad

The UMBC men's lacrosse team's offense sputtered throughout the first half of Saturday's game against visiting Binghamton. But the Retrievers came alive in the second half and rallied for a win that put them into the America East tournament.
Freshman Pat Young scored all four of his goals in the second half, the final one a tie-breaker with 1:18 left, giving UMBC a 10-9 comeback victory.
