PORSCHE has dipped into its past to create the Boxster S. The lightweight Boxster Spyder, says Porsche, is inspired by its 1950s Spyder 550 that weighed 550kg and cleaned up on the world's racing circuits,

The Boxster's heavy, electric roof is replaced by a simple fabric manual one, the side windows are lower and the car gets a new sportier suspension.

A metal reclamation specialist is revolutionising the marketplace with a series of new innovations that has seen it race towards a pounds 20 million turnover in just four years.

Williams Alloys & Residues, which employs 25 people at its Willenhall processing plant, has beaten off competition from some of the industry's biggest players to land contracts with Muller Dairies, Thornton Chocolates and van makers LDV.

Its ability to offer a complete waste management solution has seen it develop close partnerships with sectors keen to embrace the environmental agenda, an agenda that if not met could cost businesses billions of pounds each year.

Paul Williams, who founded the company in 2003, said: "When you talk about our industry, people often refer to it as dealing in scrap metal, but this couldn't be further from the truth.

"Copper, aluminium and steel are very attractive commodities and companies are slowly coming round to the fact they need to be able to recycle their materials efficiently and in line with legislation. What we do is take the stress out of the Air Jordan Retro equation and because we combine effective systems with the latest technology, we can even help our clients enjoy new revenue streams.

"In one case, we've added another pounds 25,000 to a one manufacturer's turnover."

Williams Alloys has a wide and diverse source of materials, including manufacturing, other merchants, demolition, utilities, vehicle dismantlers and the aerospace industry. The company remains a major exporter of ferrous and non-ferrous products to foundries and steelworks, with its 24-hour a day collection service providing a steady source of supply to customers across the globe.

"All of our staff have many years of processing and recycling experience, which enables us to think that little bit differently to our competitors," said sales director Steve Lewis.

"We are amongst only 20 'metal brokers' in Europe to hold the ISO 14001 environmental accreditation, whilst a technology breakthrough allows us to sort, measure and then produce official documentation at the customer's site.

"This takes out any inaccuracies that might occur when the material is driven to a public weighbridge for measuring, as is the norm in the sector.

"Our aim is to establish roots in all aspects of recycling, such as metal, plastic, glass or cardboard."

Over pounds 300,000 of investment has been channelled into its fleet of vehicles and its 25,000 sq ft metal processing plant in the heart of Willenhall.

This has seen the complete refurbishment of its offices, the implementation of new IT systems and the development of its staff, some of which are currently undertaking Masters Degrees in Environmental Management.

Mr Williams said: "With sales now heading towards pounds 20 million and a pipeline of leads that include the A320 Airbus and a world class printer manufacturer, we will continue to innovate, grow and put Black Country industry firmly on the international map."

NEW YORK (AP) Is Jennifer Lopez the modern version of the Greek goddess?

She sure looked the part at the 2001 Academy Awards when she wore that sheer, draped, one-shoulder Chanel gown.

The memorable dress designed by Karl Lagerfeld is among the 120 outfits that trace the influence of Aphrodite, Hera and Athena on contemporary fashion at The Metropolitan Museum of Arts Costume Institute exhibit, Goddess.

Nicole Kidman loaned her 2000 Oscar gown, an asymmetrical dress in gold lame from Christian Dior Haute Couture. A tightly pleated, fuchsia silk chiffon gown from Yves Saint Laurent that Julianne Moore wore for a photo shoot also is displayed.

In some ways, Hollywood stars keep classical dress visible, said curator Harold Koda, because they are the goddesses of the red carpet. But the gowns they often wear are far more body-conscious and fluid than true Greek goddess designs, he explained.

Cheap men's shoes A classic Greek goddess dress might hide the body a little, and if you unstitched the dress and took out all the pins youd have a rectangle of fabric, Koda said.

Goddess gowns also are often depicted as one-shouldered, done in ancient times as a sign of the goddesses mythic identity, which is why the Greeks are associated with asymmetrical necklines. Regular Greeks, though, didnt wear this style.

There are three silhouettes upon which all ancient Greek clothes are based: the chiton, a chemiselike shift made from two rectangles of fabric either pinned or sewn together at the shoulders; the peplos, a single piece of cloth wrapped like a cylinder and cuffed along the top with two brooch pins that attach the front to the back it sometimes features a girdle, a fabric sash that pulls the fabric closer to the body; and the himation, the rectangular cloak that influenced the later Hellenic wrap dresses.

Two-and-a-half millennia ago, the himation was a modest garment (although it was not unlike the more shapely Roman toga), but the basic shape can be seen in more provocative garments designed by Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and Ralph Lauren _ all of whom are represented in Goddess, which runs through Aug. 3.

Respectable Greek women would be more similar to the dress of Muslims today with most of their bodies covered up, Koda said.

One of the primary reasons modest Greek gowns evolved into supersexy dresses worthy of 21st-century screen sirens is the lack of any real prototypes, according to Koda.

There are no classical garments that have survived. Its not like in Egypt where youd find a body still clothed, he said.

Instead, Western fashion designers and dressmakers over the past 600 years Bottega Veneta handbag have found themselves using ancient sculptures for Greek inspiration, not actual clothes.

The sculptors tried to make their subjects a more perfect version of the real-life models. Taking liberty with the clothes was a way to show off the enhanced shapes, Koda explained. Artists also added drapery to the garments in an effort to make the subjects seem more animated.

In later centuries, those sculptures inspired painters, who put that idealized vision of Greek goddesses on canvas.

All our ideas of classic dress is seen through art. The details like the tight pleats has to do with artistic representation from a statue. C

BARNSLEY manager Simon Davey will have no shortage of applicants for his latest job advertisement: Wanted: Goalkeeper to play at Wembley.

The Tykes have been cheap air jordan rocked by the loss of Luke Steele, whose performances against Liverpool and Chelsea helped secure the club's FA Cup semi-final date with Cardiff City on April 6.

Steele's permanent employers West Bromwich Albion do not want to extend a loan deal, which expired last weekend, unless Barnsley commit to a permanent deal in the summer.

But with first choice Heinz Muller due back from knee surgery in the summer, Barnsley are unwilling to make that pledge - leaving Davey without a senior goalkeeper for one of the biggest games in the club's history.

Although talks with over Steele's future are not officially over, Davey's list of possible alternatives includes Aston Villa's Thomas Sorensen, who is out of favour at Villa Park.

Adding to the complexity of the situation is the fact that Barnsley could yet play Albion in the

FA Cup final and, if they did, Steele would be ineligible because loan signings are not allowed to play against their White Sox jerseys permanent employers in the competition.

Albion manager Tony Mowbray said: "Luke will be back here training with us (this week) as far as we are aware. It is a sad state of affairs, but I like Simon Davey so I am not going to get into a war of words with him. It is unfortunate for Luke, but there you go."

Barnsley general manager Don Rowing said: "We are still in negotiations with West Bromwich Albion and this could take a few more days to resolve. We need to make a decision one way or the other because we have an important League game against Sheffield United this weekend."

Womens Nike dunks high Barnsley's goalkeeping problems began on January 29 when Muller suffered a serious knee injury in a game against Colchester United at Oakwell.

Two days later, Davey allowed second-choice goalkeeper Nick Colgan to join Ipswich Town and signed Tony Warner on loan from Fulham.

At this stage, Barnsley had already booked a fifth round

FA Cup trip to Liverpool, but Warner was ineligible, having played for Fulham against Bristol Rovers in a third-round replay.

Steele arrived on a month's loan from Albion and produced a flawless display on his debut at Anfield. That resulted in Warner losing his place and returning to Fulham after just three appearances in a Barnsley shirt.

Davey has resisted the temptation to pick reserve team goalkeeper Kyle Letheren even though the 19-year-old has already played a role in the club's Cup run, when coming on as a substitute for Muller in the third-round win against Blackpool.
