How Do We Keep Our Kids Safe Online? [Terry's Tech Support]
Recently Brad posted a thoughtful article on the dangers of keeping your kids' safe online. His concerns were sparked by a recent study by the Federal Trade Commission that found that most mobile apps for kids are secretly collecting data from their smartphones. Scary, right?
Brad, arguably my arch-nemesis tech geek in the building, surmised that the only true way to keep your kids safe online was to completely unplug and get off the grid. Unfortunately, unless you're Amish, I don't think that's going to cut it with your kids.
But there is a way to keep your kids safe.

Nigel de Jong has hailed the changes made in recent years at champions Manchester City.
The midfielder says the club was in a state of "mayhem" when he first arrived.
"I saw the club change from complete mayhem at the training facilities into a real top club, and that's great to see," he enthused.
"It's part of the job that I occasionally warm the bench. We have a squad rotation system. I prefer to play all games, but it's all about the team.
"We eventually won the title, so it was worth it."

Maryland PSC Issues State Approval for Proposed Nuclear Energy Facility at Calvert Cliffs
State Regulatory Milestone Provides Greater Certainty for UniStar's Proposed Project in
The CPCN, which is required prior to the commencement of any construction activities, addresses a range of environmental and reliability impacts of the proposed nuclear energy facility, including air, water, wetlands, and cultural and historic impacts. UniStar's proposed project has been the subject of numerous public hearings since the submission of the CPCN application to the PSC in
"This decision serves as another significant milestone in UniStar's efforts to build certainty for our proposed Calvert Cliffs Unit 3," said
The announcement provides greater momentum for UniStar's potential new reactor at Calvert Cliffs as well as its planned fleet of U.S. EPR reactors at selected sites throughout
The 1,600-megawatt reactor is proposed to be built next to Constellation Energy's existing Calvert Cliffs facility and would create up to 4,000 construction jobs and approximately 400 permanent jobs.
In parallel with state regulatory reviews, UniStar is pursuing approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to license and operate the proposed new facility. UniStar's Combined License Application (COLA) is currently under review by the NRC. If built, the facility would generate enough carbon-emissions-free electricity to power 1.3 million homes and would bring much-needed, reliable, around-the-clock power to

This refers to the reported remark by Union Human Resource Development Minister that the eligibility for appearing in the IIT entrance examination should be raised from 60 per cent to 80 per cent and his subsequent statement that there is no such proposal. Any move to increase the eligibility will lead to increased stress on IIT aspirants. An open competition should be free from pre-conditions. If the mushrooming growth of coaching centres is to be checked, the examination pattern of IIT entrance should be made in tune with the XII standard syllabus. Another option is to give weightage to marks obtained in the school final examinations.
Navin Katyal,
New Delhi
The IIT entrance test is among the toughest exams. It not only screens students but also tests their aptitude and their ability to reason. Marks obtained in the school final examinations are irrelevant to the test. Only corporate colleges will benefit if any effort is made to increase the eligibility criteria.
Venkateswar Rao,
If the required percentage of marks for students appearing in the IIT entrance test is increased, we will find an increase in the number of students with blinkers — who have a narrow outlook. They will know nothing other than their subjects. Of what use is churning out such individuals? Scoring a high percentage at the XII standard level should not be the be all and end all in the life of a student.
M.V. Nahusharaj,
It is not the IITs, the IIMs or the Class XII exams that need attention. It is the primary and middle level education that needs to be looked at. It is at these levels that children are trained for their future. Let us concentrate on inculcating civic sense and discipline in children so that we produce good citizens. This will automatically make them competitive in secondary schools and colleges.

MATHEWS--Police have arrested a man and charged him with maintaining a marijuana grow operation worth over a million dollars
On Tuesday around 1:08 p.m., the Mathew's Sheriff Office received a 911 call about a house fire in the Cobbs Creek area of the county. Fire units arrived at 2722 Buckley Hall Road and found a two story frame residence on fire.
While fighting the blaze, firefighters discovered what they believed to be marijuana plants throughout the 2nd floor.
office personnel who were already on the scene initiated an investigation, detaining the home owner and obtaining a search warrant.
Agents of the Tri-Rivers Taskforce were called to assist with processing and collecting evidence. It is estimated the value of the grow to be over 1 million 56 thousand dollars. The investigation is on-going.
Arrested was Kenneth M. Putt, 48, of Cobbs Creek. He's charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana and manufacturing.

11-14, 18-18, 20-19, 11-8
There was a dramatic ending to the second day of the U18 European Championship Women in Matosinhos after hosts Portugal were denied victory and went down 60-59 to Czech Republic in a bizarre ending to a riveting contest.
Turning Point: Down by a point on the last play Carolina Bernardeco had the ball in her hands but inexplicably allowed the clock to run down to zero, rather than executing a play - thinking her team were leading. She was distraught afterwards, but received incredible support after the final buzzer for her mishap.
Game Heroes: Sarah Berankova claimed 16 points for the winning team and there was a nice cameo of 10 points from Tereza Kracikova who made all five of her shots from the floor.
Stats Don't Lie: Portugal could only score four fast break points and that was pivotal, while Czech Republic got a mammoth 38 points off the bench.
The Bottom Line: Czech Republic face Sweden and will like their chances, although a loss could still see them into the Classification Round. Portugal meanwhile must pick themselves up against Italy who are already through to the next phase.

When we talk about computers, smartphones, tablets or mobiles, we generally assume that there's just one operating system. We believe that it is the interface between humans and hardware. But what if there is more than one OS?
In fact, there is a secret second operating system — the baseband OS. And this could make every mobile phone insecure because every time you send a text message or receive a call, the baseband OS registers it. The problem with this OS is that it is usually proprietary, closed-source, bug-ridden, and has extensive hardware level access to your data.
A phone's baseband is like a black box that communicates with a cell tower and has hardware level access to your GPS and microphone. The baseband is firmly established in your phone hardware and is difficult or unlikely to change. It has its own CPU and is vulnerable to attacks. The Blackphone or any other mobile phone for that matter does not protect against this.
Researchers from across the world are looking into the possibilities of baseband hacking. Mobile baseband can be hacked using a fake base station. A hacker will route all your mobile phone data via this fake base station and eavesdrop on all conversations and go through all data, be it text or audio or video.
After copying all your data, the hacker can communicate with another real station to complete the network connection. All this goes on without the user realising that he/she has been spied upon. Even the most secure phones are vulnerable to such attacks.
A base station is usually a 30-ft tower. A London firm, PA Consulting, figured out how to shrink the entire thing into a 3-inch Raspberry Pi, one of the biggest inventions in recent years. This $30 Linux-based computer, about the size of a credit card, is targeted at educating the next generation of software and hardware engineers in programming.
"The Raspberry Pi base station that was developed at our Cambridge Technology Centre shows the vast potential of low-cost hardware. Such small cell technologies open up several possibilities — simple in-home coverage improvement, replacement networks in disaster areas, provision of targeted advertising, or even "dial-an-exhibit" at a tourist location," Frazer Bennett, technology expert, PA Consulting Group, told dna.
A base station being run on a 3-inch Raspberry Pi makes baseband hacking a significant threat. It is still to be seen how secure smart phone manufacturers such as BlackBerry, Boeing, GeeksPhone and Silent Circle deal with this.

Somalia offensive: 300 new militants in Mogadishu
MOGADISHU, Somalia Heavy fighting erupted Thursday in Somalia's capital as African Union peacekeepers launched an offensive aimed at protecting famine relief efforts from attacks by al-Qaida-linked militants, officials said. At least six people died.
Al-Shabab, Somalia's dominant militant group, has sent 300 reinforcement fighters to Mogadishu in recent days, said Lt. Col. Paddy Ankunda, spokesman for the African Union peacekeeping force.
Ankunda said the AU force believes that al-Shabab is trying to prevent aid from reaching the tens of thousands of famine refugees who have arrived in Mogadishu this month.
The al-Shabab militants already have killed men who tried to escape the famine with their families, saying it is better to starve than accept help from the West. The World Food Program says it cannot reach 2.2 million people in need of aid in the militant-controlled areas in southern Somalia because of insecurity.
Ankunda, a spokesman for the AU peacekeeping force in Somalia, said that AU forces had conducted a "short tactical offensive operation" Thursday in Mogadishu.
"This action will further increase security ... and ensure that aid agencies can continue to operate to get vital supplies to internally displaced," Ankunda said in a statement.
"We are concerned about the extremists' reckless attacks given the humanitarian activities being carried out presently," he said.
Ankunda said al-Shabab's decision last week to rescind permission allowing aid groups to operate in the areas the militants control already has denied hundreds of thousands of Somalis access to food aid.
He said the African Union Mission in Somalia, known as AMISOM, will keep humanitarian organizations informed of their future operations to limit the impact on the relief efforts.
"AMISOM fully understands the need to restrain military operations while the aid agencies mount their humanitarian campaign. However, we are here to maintain stability in Mogadishu, and if we perceive a threat from the extremist insurgents, then it is our duty to protect and defend the most vulnerable from this threat," he said.
Ali Muse, the head of Mogadishu's ambulance service, said his workers had collected six dead bodies and 20 wounded people.
A medical official at Mogadishu airport said wounded AU peacekeepers were to be evacuated by airplane to Nairobi, the capital city of neighboring Kenya, to be treated of injuries they sustained in the fighting. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak with the press. An Associated Press reporter watched as three wounded soldiers were put in a small jet for the flight.
Ankunda said he could confirm only that two AU troops had been wounded.
The devastating famine in the Horn of Africa threatens al-Shabab's hold on areas under its control, with the militants fearing that the disaster will drive away the people they tax and conscript into military service.
In the past, the militants have blocked aid workers from helping those in need in Somalia, fearing that foreign assistance would undermine their control.
A World Food Program plane with 10 tons of peanut-butter paste landed Wednesday in Mogadishu, the first of several planned airlifts in coming weeks.

Evidently, producer Suresh Menon's love affair with rushing water continues in his newest restaurant Azzuri Bay. It's housed in the same compound as his first culinary venture, Crimson Chakra (which encompasses Cornucopia). Set within an old colonial bungalow, the earlier restaurant is characterised by quirky touches, languid pools and vivacious waterfalls.
Despite being housed in the same property and sticking to the central Crimson Chakra themes, Azzuri Bay manages to have a character that's unique. We take the lift up and emerge on a terrace, crowded with packed tables and bustling with waiters. We've been gauche enough to schlep all the way to Adyar without reservations, yet the staff is courteously welcoming. And no, they have no idea we're here for a review.
Great service and good food is a given when restaurants invite a critic for a meal. After all they get to set the stage, brief the waiters and plan the menu. But it's when you sneak in as a regular punter that you get an authentic experience. So I'm delighted that the waiters are welcoming, quickly finding us a table and offering to guide us through the menu.
Admittedly, the service is patchy. There are long waits between courses and we spend a good part of our meal desperately trying to catch a waiter's eye. Fortunately the aromatic dim sum starter is moist and flavoursome enough to keep us occupied for a while. It helps that we have a view of the Adyar bridge by night, defined by a hypnotically steady flow of car headlights. All very scenic except for a blindingly bright lantern set on each table. It totally kills the starlit dining mood!
Across Asia
The menu canters across Asia, featuring both the Indian-Chinese restaurant staples as well as more unusual offerings. There's calamari chilly-garlic, stir fries and chop suey. But also Korean bulgogi, Malaysian fish in a banana leaf and Singaporean chilly crab.
Our main course consists of Thai spicy fried rice, speckled with egg and generously flavoured with finely-chopped beans, carrots and garlic. Also a version of char kuey teow which comes across as rather stodgy since it doesn't have the intricate layering of textures and flavours that should define the dish. Even the bean sprouts look defeated. There's crispy lamb in honey chilly — an old favourite — which is good without being astonishing.
We try a Margarita pizza, delightfully juicy thanks to a generous amount of fresh tomato sauce sprinkled with rosemary. The cheese however, draped across in generous puddles, could do with more character.
The diva at the next table whines incessantly, calling for the cook, the waiter and the candlestick maker, to list her demands. "Tweak this, tweak that and how dare you say you're almost out of chocolate gelato? Pack up every remaining cup of it for me." Astonishingly, they humour her, nodding politely and offering her table free deserts.
Thoughtful touches abound here. From Odomos on every table to bar stools with a view for single diners in the indoor dining area. The delightful marine aquarium, filled with dancing clown fish, can lift anyone's spirits. A good thing too since the waiters are struggling to stay above the water, and things are a little haphazard. They will probably settle with some training. It helps that they're nice. You can't get that with all the training in the world.
I choose a popsicle for dessert, much to the dismay of our waiter. He insists we try the gelato. Since I firmly stick to my infantile dessert, he offers us a tray full of popsicles on the house — and then grandly brings in the only gelato flavour that's not sold out: strawberry. ("What! No chocolate!") It's velvety, creamy and delicious. I make a mental note to get there before the divas next time.
Azzuri Bay is at No 13, First Crescent Park Road, Gandhi Nagar. Call 4211 5253 for more details. Portions are generous, and a meal for two costs approximately Rs. 600.

The trip, which first visited war memorials and ended with a visit to the museums, was organized by David Hutchison, member of the American Legion Gold Star Post 191.
Jack Baker was one of the two World War II vets on the trip to D.C. Baker and his friends, Eric Neilson and Jerome Bujanowski, sat together on the bus, teasing each other and retelling war stories.
"When they wanted a job done, they called the Marines," Baker said, "and when they wanted a job done right, they called the Army," he said, laughing with Neilson, an Army veteran, and Bujanowski, a Marines veteran of the Vietnam War.
Despite the light atmosphere, the stories turned to serious matters.
Neilson prompted Baker to tell the story of a time Baker drove a German vehicle he had taken and then repaired. The vehicle was hit, and Baker was thrown out, Neilson said. The medic came by, saw the blood, pulled a raincoat over him and walked away.
Baker said he remembers the raincoat being pulled off of him and seeing a cross. A chaplain was standing over him.
"Soldier, you're not done yet," Baker said the chaplain told him.
He was patched up and sent back into combat ten days later, Baker said.
"I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for him," he said of the chaplain.
Never before, that he's aware of, have four generations gathered together at the World War II memorial, Hutchison said.
It would be like looking at the past and the future at the same time, Hutchison said, because of the past sacrifices of the veterans and the children who might be serving their country in the future.
Once at the World War II memorial, Hutchison organized the roughly 160 people, composed of veterans, auxiliary members of the American Legion, Pack 1191 Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts sponsored by the American Legion, and family members.
The second World War II veteran in the entourage, Ed Darrah, served in the U.S. Marine Corps.
"It doesn't seem long, but it has been," Darrah said when asked about the 70 years that have spanned between his service and the present.
Navy veteran Ron Reese said these World War II vets are the reason we're here.
"I was nothing compared to those guys," Reese said.
Being at the memorials reminds him of what America is all about, he said. It means a lot when someone comes up to shake his hand because it shows that they realize the sacrifices servicemen have done for their country.

MESQUITE It's summer break, but on Monday, some Mesquite students were getting a lesson in loss the loss of two educators they know and love.
Seventy students gathered at B.J. Smith Elementary School to speak with grief counselors about James and Leah Eason and their infant son who all died when their SUV ran in to the back of an 18-wheeler on Interstate 30 north of Cookville on Saturday afternoon.
A steady stream of students and parents stared at the window pane of James Eason's fifth grade classroom, finding it hard to believe their favorite teacher will not return to Smith Elementary this fall.
I loved him a lot, said student Lauren Castaneda. He was more than just a teacher... he was like your best friend.
Eason, 30; his wife Leah, who was assistant principal at Florence Black Elementary School; and their one-year-old son Luke died Saturday's crash. Only their four-year-old son Jace survived the impact.
I just hope he'll be okay, because he doesn't have a mom, or dad, or little brother any more, Lauren said. Hopefully he'll be okay.
Lauren Castaneda and other students wrote letters and posted them on Mr. Eason's classroom window. They also added funny photos, trying to remember the good times like when he wore a crazy orange hat that former student Chloe Barnes made for the class.
I keep it because it's a special memory, she said. He was a one-of-a-kind teacher. I don't think anyone will ever replace him.
Mildred Abu, the school's counselor, spent the day trying to console students and to help them understand that life is not permanent nor is it always fair.
He has touched so many of our lives in so many special ways, she said.
Student Carolynne Andres is among those trying to achieve an understanding.
It's just so sad, she said. He's a great teacher, and I was so close to him, and it's just sad to see him go.
The students released balloons in tribute to the teacher who will forever remain in their hearts.
Funeral arrangements for the Easons are pending.
Four-year-old Jace is recovering at Children's Medical Center Dallas from broken bones and an injury to his spine. Mesquite school officials say he is expected to recover and will likely go to live with his grandparents.

By Chris Ruddick, Contributing NFL Editor
(Sports Network) - Emotions could be running high when the Denver Broncos visit the AFC West-leading Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday in a pivotal division matchup at Arrowhead Stadium.
It was just three weeks ago that the Broncos walloped the Chiefs, 49-29, in Denver. Following the contest, Kansas City head coach Todd Haley refused to shake the hand of the Broncos' Josh McDaniels and pointed a finger at him, remarking that he felt that Denver had tried to run up the score.
McDaniels, though, could have bigger problems on his hand, as his job security has come into question thanks in part to the Broncos' losing six of their last seven games, with the rout of the Chiefs the team's lone win over that span.
The second-year Denver head coach got an official reprieve -- but not exactly a binding one -- earlier this week, when Broncos owner Pat Bowlen said he had no immediate plans to make a coaching change in spite of the team's 3-8 record and McDaniels' personal 5-16 slate since a 6-0 start fizzled out last season.
Denver lost, 36-33, to visiting St. Louis last Sunday, dropping it four games behind the front-running Chiefs in the AFC West with five to play.
"This has been a very trying and disappointing season for all of us," Bowlen said. "We haven't had the success we had hoped to achieve. Josh McDaniels is the head coach of the Broncos, and you always strive for stability at that position. However, with five games left in the 2010 season, we will continue to monitor the progress of the team and evaluate what's in the best interest of this franchise."
In a subsequent interview with former Denver Post columnist Thomas George, Bowlen was more specific about his plans to retain McDaniels beyond the end of this season.
"I am not interested in making a coaching change," he said. "I'm very happy with Josh. Josh is doing a good job. I wish he had a few more wins, but we've got five games to go. I've got 27 years in this business. The ball bounces funny, and it doesn't always bounce your way."
Denver's 5-16 record since Nov. 1, 2009 is its worst 21-game stretch in four decades, and the team is one defeat away from being officially eliminated from the playoffs.
Kansas City, meanwhile, has no such problems on its staff, as it sits atop the AFC West standings at 7-4. The only problem in Chiefs-land these days are the surging San Diego Chargers, who trail Kansas City by just a game in the division with a critical matchup on tap between the two in Week 14.
First things first, though, and that is this week's tilt, in which the Chiefs will try to win their third straight game following a 42-24 blowout victory over Seattle at the always-tough Quest Field in Week 12.
Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel had a career day with four touchdown passes, while wideout Dwayne Bowe continued his amazing season, hauling in three of those scores as part of a 13 catch, 170-yard performance.
Kansas City is an impressive 5-0 this season at home, where it has outscored its opponents by a 138-67 margin.
Kansas City holds a 54-46 lead in its all-time series with Denver, but as previously mentioned, suffered a 49-29 loss when these teams squared off at Invesco Field at Mile High on Nov. 14. The clubs had an unconventional split of last year's home-and-home set, with the Broncos drilling the Chiefs by a 44-13 score at Arrowhead Stadium and Kansas City exacting revenge with a 44-24 rout in Denver during the regular-season finale. The Broncos last swept the Chiefs in 2007.
The two former AFL franchises have met just once in the postseason since the 1970 merger, with the Broncos claiming a 14-10 road victory in a 1997 AFC Divisional Playoff.
McDaniels is 2-1 in three lifetime encounters with both Haley and the Chiefs.
Whatever the Broncos' problems are, it'd be hard to pin them on quarterback Kyle Orton, who leads a Denver passing attack that's churned out an average of 288.3 yards per week -- fourth-best in the league. The Broncos score 22.7 points per game (17th overall) and gain overall yards at a rate of 367.6 per game (8th in the league). Orton's 3,370 yards are the most in the NFL this season and he has thrown 20 touchdowns to just six interceptions. He threw for 347 yards with three scores in the loss to the Rams while completing 22-of-34 passes for 296 yards and four touchdowns in the rout of the Chiefs during Week 10. Wideout Brandon Lloyd (58 receptions, 1,122 yards, 9 TD) has been Orton's favorite target and will be aiming for a fifth straight game with a touchdown. His nine on the season are a career high. Fellow wide receiver Jabar Gaffney, meanwhile, has averaged 135 yards in his last two contests against Kansas City. The running game has been a problem, however, as Denver owns the worst rushing attack in the AFC with an average of just 79.4 yards per game. The return of Knowshon Moreno has sparked that area somewhat, as he shoots for a fourth straight game with 100-plus yards from scrimmage this week. He has also scored on the ground in each of the last two weeks.
Kansas City has struggled in stopping the pass this season and enters Sunday's tilt 24th in the league in that category, surrendering 246.5 yards per game through the air. Orton lit the Chiefs up a few weeks ago and will look to do the same this week to a secondary that should get a few important pieces back. Cornerback Brandon Flowers (46 tackles, 2 INT) missed last week's win in Seattle with a hamstring injury, but has practiced this week, while safety Jon McGraw, who has missed the last three weeks with knee and head injuries, is also expected to return. As bad as Kansas City has been against the pass, it has done a good job in stopping the run, surrendering just 96.5 yards per game (7th overall) on the ground. Inside linebacker Derrick Johnson and his team- high 88 tackles have been a big reason why. Johnson had perhaps the biggest play in the win over the Seahawks, as his sack of Matt Hasselbeck caused a fumble that was recovered by Kansas City and set up the score that put the Chiefs ahead by a 35-17 count. Fellow linebacker Tamba Hali recovered the big fumble on the Johnson sack. He leads the team with eight sacks and needs one more to pass the career-high 8 1/2 he had a year ago.
Cassel, the AFC's Player of the Month for November, finished Sunday's win with a 129.3 passer rating, his fifth 100-plus game of the season. He also tied a career high with his four touchdown passes and has now had 127 consecutive attempts without an interception. Bowe leads the league with 14 touchdowns and has now moved into a sixth-place tie in the AFC with 58 receptions, while his 885 receiving yards are fourth-best in the conference. His touchdown total is the most by a NFL receiver through 11 games since Randy Moss hauled in 16 for the Patriots in an unbeaten 2007 regular season. While Cassel-to-Bowe has become trendy in KC, it has been the Chiefs' NFL-best rushing attack (174.3 ypg) that has catapulted them to the top of the standings. Jamaal Charles has 1,021 yards on the ground, topping the 1,000-yard mark in fewer carries (161) than any other back in Kansas City. His backfield partner, Thomas Jones (712 rushing yards, 5 TD) has 9,971 career rushing yards and needs 71 more to become the 25th player in NFL history to hit the 10,000-yard plateau. LaDainian Tomlinson and Fred Taylor are the only active players in that elite club. Tight end Tony Moeaki, second on the team with 32 receptions, returned last week after sitting out a game with a concussion, while wideout Dexter McCluster could come back from an ankle injury that has caused him to miss the last five games.
Albeit in a come-from-behind effort, Cassel torched the Broncos defense to the tune of 469 yards in Week 10 and could be in line for another strong showing this Sunday, as he goes up against a Denver defense that is just 20th in the league in pass efficiency. The Broncos secondary looked solid at times this past week, but in the end the group still allowed Rams rookie Sam Bradford to throw for 308 yards and three touchdowns. A backfield in which all four regulars are 32 years old or over has begun to show its age, as cornerback Andre Goodman has played in only four games due to a quadriceps problem and hasn't played since Week 8, while 37-year-old free safety Brian Dawkins (50 tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT) is a shell of the player that was an eight-time Pro Bowl selection. Veteran cornerback Champ Bailey continues to lead the group with a team-high two interceptions. Denver is third-worst against the run in the league, allowing an average of 141.6 yards. A sporadic pass rush that's generated a mere 16 sacks hasn't helped matters, although the team did take down Bradford three times last week and Cassel four times in the November 14th tilt. Outside linebacker Mario Haggan (64 tackles, 4 sacks) had three of those sacks of Cassel, one of which forced a fumble that counterpart Jason Hunter (46 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 INT) returned 75 yards for a touchdown.
With most leagues playing their final regular-season game this week, there are plenty of fantasy options in this contest. For the Chiefs, Charles remains the better start between him and Jones, but the latter has found the end zone more. Bowe is a stud and a must-start, while Cassel remains a decent option in deeper leagues. However, given the way Kansas City runs the ball, Cassel's production is hit-and-miss at best. Orton, meanwhile, has been the surprise of the fantasy season and is among the league leaders in every important quarterback category. Lloyd is probably a decent start too, but Gaffney could see the bulk of the targets this Sunday. Denver's running game has gotten better over the last couple of weeks, but avoid starting Moreno regardless. Neither defense is anything to write home about.
With the Chargers on tap next week, this could have been the classic trap game for a Chiefs team that a lot of people still don't believe in. Luckily they are facing the one team that Haley will not allow to overlook in the underachieving Broncos. Cassel-to-Bowe is becoming a very dangerous tandem, but the load this week figures to be carried by Charles and Jones as they go up against a very porous Denver front seven. Things just seem to be spiraling out of control for McDaniels, whose job security will once again be called into question this coming week.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Kansas City 35, Denver 17

The Northern Avenue store is half the size of the old Newbury digs, but it's a far better representation of Debi Greenberg's style vision. Eveningwear by Peter Pilotto, Roland Mouret, and Jason Wu doubles as art, though just as impressive are casual offerings from Jeffrey Monteiro, the Row, and Opening Ceremony.

The Grand Prix of America in New Jersey does not appear on a provisional 2014 F1 calendar given to the teams circulating in Monza Thursday.
IT'S BACK! Italian GP RaceCast featuring live practice, qualifying and race updates!
While the schedule won't be definitive until the World Motor Sport Council approves it on Sept. 27, it appears that there is little chance of the race being slotted in, unless another race is dropped.
The schedule includes 21 events, including Russia, the already announced return to Austria, and a return to Mexico that has been rumored for some weeks. The latter event is scheduled to run a week before Austin.
As expected, India is absent, although the race is expected to return in 2015.
Korea, which many expected to be dropped next year, has been moved to the start of the year. It is now twinned with Shanghai. However, it is marked subject to confirmation, as indeed are Mexico and Russia, as the venues have to be formally approved.
New Jersey's absence would appear to confirm that the promoters have not met their commercial obligations, and given that the event was already dropped from the 2013 calendar, a further reprieve appears unlikely.
"They have a contract," Bernie Ecclestone stated at Spa. "If they can comply with the contract, we want to be there. If they come to me next week, and show they have complied with whatever it should be, it's alright. They've got to finish the circuit, so they need to pay, and they need to comply with the conditions for us."

Anyone can enter. Qualifying is only to seat top riders from other races into the final race on Sunday. You can qualify by setting a fast qualifying time on Saturday and/or by finishing high enough in the standing on Sunday's morning race.
But no matter what you will have to complete the Sunday morning race in the allotted time to be able to start the Sunday afternoon race. The winner will have the lowest combined time from both Sunday races.
This format, we hope, will allow anyone a chance to come out and show everyone how good of a rider they are with a course that will get progressively more difficult.
I always say, "Don't tell me, show me." See if you can qualify. See if you can finish.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 338 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by BrooklynGirl A Definite "10" From the moment you arrive to the very end of your stay, this place will exceed your expectations over and over again. The entire property is beautiful and well kept. Private Beaches and Beautiful Pools. The staff is exceptional and willing to fulfill your requests regardless of size. My husband was worried about getting to the ferry on time so he asked if we could expedite a cab; the staff did one better - they had the taxi driver get our tickets in advance for us so we didn't have to worry about a spot on the ferry. Now, that's service! October 17, 2012

Every inch of this property is beautifully manicured and they have thought of every detail. The staff, food, drinks, decor are all amazing. Thanks for a wonderful trip! October 2, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Quiquevilla Not in a rush... Excellent hotel with very friendly staff. Unfortunately, our room was not cleaned until very late and only until we called to find out why it was not clean ( we called at 4PM). The next day the room was not cleaned at all and we found an extra do not disturb sign on the outside of our door. This happened after 4PM since both my wife and I had returned to the room and it had not been cleaned. We somehow ended up with our sign on the inside of our door and a second sign on the outside. Our waiter at the restaurant was VERY slow.....twenty + minutes in between each stop at our table, considering he only had two tables at the same time (including ours). We received a complimentary bottle of cava for our troubles and a very pleasant note from front desk. Thank you Arturo - nice gesture! September 3, 2012

Rated 4 out of 5 by Andrea007 Nice hotel The hotel has good facilities and is nicely located in the beautiful island of Vieques. Service is good, to remarkable w some employees such as Jesus in the pool area who went out and beyond to please us. The hotel lacks ilumination in some areas. That should be fixed with garden lights in the roads that lead to the rooms. Being a retreat, i would have expected less kids splashing in the pool. Overall experience was good. I would definitively recommend. August 22, 2012

Rated 3 out of 5 Good dining, poor service. The food was great. However, we were disappointed by the service provided by Jose on Wednesday around 8:30 PM. He was not willing to accept changes to the main courses. He indicated that the Chef does not allow changes. Also, we asked for some room service but the alternatives were very limited. This means that the "Whatever you want, whenever you want" is not right for this location. August 6, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Justo The hotel was great however the Sorce restaurant was defficient in granting our meal coupons and it has to be escalated. We ended up eating outside as the restaurant was full we order from the SORCE and were serve by their waiters but not honoring the coupons was ridicoulous in my opinion. August 3, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by July2012visitor almost but not quite This is a beautiful property staffed by charming and well meaning people. However, it simply falls short of excellence. Water, cups and towels were conveniently placed by each beach area. Sadly at any given time at least one of the three needed stocking. Rain puddled, soaked chair cushions were left by the pool all day. Worn upholstery was replaced with white sheets in the lounge area. These were left dirty for days on end. Pool chairs were left strewn with towels so that new guests didn't know where they could sit. Pool-side servers never knew where they were going with their orders. A birthday greeting was sent to the wrong member of the party. The room was wonderfully designed but too dark to read in at night. Don't even bother asking for a brighter light bulb. Some drink coupons were never received and others were received days after check in. These things may sound petty and a few days of them are fine. After a nine day stay the flaws simply add up to aggravation. Then you check out and have to face an impossibly complex invoice. If you are looking for a five star experience this isn't going to fit the bill. The grin and bear it types however will find it charming and relaxing. Think about your expectations before you book.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Louie123 Hotel is great but needs more attention to detail The hotel is beautiful, some minor details needed. For example..... When our room was cleaned towels were never replaced with new ones. I would have to call numerous times. The bed linen was not turned over regularly, being a beach resort i felt sand in the bed at times. Room temperature was not consistent. Other then this this hotel is beautiful July 31, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lady07 W Hotel has written romanticism all over The room was clean, super comfortable, inviting for relaxation and romance. The views of the beach and ocean of the Island of Vieques from the W are spectacular. My only critic is the food of the W restaurant, it is flavorless it lacks spiciness and personality. A mixture of foods that doesn't belong to the W ambiance and doesn't reflects the aura of the location. I strongly recommend a local Chef that can make use of local produce with finese. I know at least one that can make your restaurant excel. July 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by acp2144 Incredible location Best part about the W Vieques is the incredible location - on a bluff overlooking the ocean with two beaches just a short flight of stairs away. Rooms are very nice and like-new, considering the hotel was only built two years ago. We didn't experience any service issues as others seem to have, but weren't blown away either. Got upgraded to an ocean-front room despite not having elite status - pretty nice surprise. July 29, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by ConcernStarwoodMember Hidden gem thats rough around the edges We were very disappointed with my latest stay at the W Retreat & Spa - Vieques Island. During our travels, the W hotels are always our first choice, however this last experience was very discouraging. The most disappointing experience were the staff members and the food quality. Restaurants were not opened on time and staff members got frustrated when I attempted to request service; even though the hours were printed on the menu. The food quality; I don't know where to start.....:( This was the worst dining experience we have ever had! (i.e. guacamole from a can/box/bag / Paella Rice that was hard to eat etc.) There is no excuse for low quality of food at a W hotel; apparently this is not news to many staff members / guest that agreed with our experience. The mosquitos in rooms/beds were too much. I still recommend the W hotel, but change has to occur. July 24, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by verolero07 Problems since we arrived Even before arriving at the hotel we already had a bad experience at the airport when we were told that we were not registered at the hotel. We were allowed to use the bus even though they had no record of us. At the hotel it was the same story, we did not appear anywhere in their system, they finally realized that they had registered us for arrival one day later. Eventually we got a room, one that was not the type we had requested, and the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired. The replacement of cleaning products such as shampoo, cream, soap, etc , etc, was really poor. We asked for an ice bucket since the room did not have one, and only after four calls and an hour later did they bring one to the room. Upon leaving the hotel we were surprised with charges that we had not done, both in the room as well as in the pool bar. When we challenged the charges the lady who checked us told us she would check into these charges; almost a week later I am waiting still waiting for her reply. She had mentioned that maybe some other guests had written the numbers wrong, but that was the end of it. I hope some day they will eventually get back to us with a response. The person who served me both times only spoke English, so being a Spanish speaker I spoke with a Spanish speaking attendant who with an angry expression told me that the other person was waiting on me, and to basically leave them alone. I really found it amazing that the service was so bad, especially in a hotel of this category. I have to say also that the person who took us from the airport was very friendly at all times. Hotel facilities are beautiful and the rooms quite comfortable, it is unfortunate the customer service is so bad. July 10, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by miamibeach the location is great- the location is great- that alone is why i would recommend; but would prefer to have services that provided more of a "WOW" factor. W's around the world are supposed to make you feel like you are elite customer- here you feel like a regular patron. July 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jusy PERFECT GATEWAY Amazing views of the ocean from every hotel facility, the restaurant, the pool, the lobby bar. Amazing beaches, pool service. Great beaches all around the island that you can reach by renting a jeep and be in your "private" caribbean beach in 5 minutes July 7, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by EvanI Nice experience The staff was very friendly despite being locked out of the room for the first hour because the lock ran out of batteries. No platinum upgrade but the room was nonetheless spacious. Coffee was absolutely awful, especially in the cafe. It was a charming hotel though. We met some nice people there too. Everyone including other guests are friendly. Also make sure you book the bioluminescence tour!! Awesome! June 17, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by DCDW Great stay at beautiful resort, but check your bill! We really enjoyed our stay at the W Vieques. The hotel is a quick 5 minute drive from the airport, and offers so many convenient amenities like a free airport shuttle, free tennis, snorkel and kayak rental, ice cold water dispensers around the property, free wifi, a reallly nice gym, and lots of beach towels. The staff around the resort is so friendly and helpful. The property is beautiful! The pool was very clean with lots of chairs. Same with the two beaches. We only ate at the Mix restaurant for breakfast and it was a pretty good buffet. Albeit a bit pricey with some island flies on all the uncovered items, but tasty nonetheless. We had a couple of issues that made our stay less fun. We are SPG members and thought we'd get USA today delivered daily or get a .75 per day credit, but that never happened. Also, we had about $120 of overcharges to our room made by other guests using our room number. Five days and many phone calls later we are still trying to get credited back for all those charges we didn't make. Highly recommend getting a paper copy of your final bill from the front desk even though the resort offers easy speedy checkout options. In spite of this we had a great time and loved the resort!

Rated 3 out of 5 by mgillian Average I stayed at the W Hotel Vieques in mid May. The island is very quiet and relaxing...which means no nightlife, no shopping and very few options outside the hotel. Hotel is beautiful and relaxing. Agree with the rest of the reviews that the service is somewhat slow by W standards but not too bad. My main issue was given the lack of outside dining options and even a small store to buy toiletries outside the hotel...it makes no sense to close the on property store at 5pm and the restaurant at 9:30pm. The food at the restaurant is great so it's your only real option on the island so it feels like rushing to the dining hall before it closes and you're doomed to room service. The little store closed early as well which was frustrating and had a limited selection of items. Those issues were compounded during the stay as the hotel was out of tuna, salmon, ginger ale, chicken wings and few other things during the stay. Overall it's very relaxing and a beautiful property but not worth the price. May 29, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by overworkedtraveller Amazing Retreat If you're looking for an escape from the world, the W retreat is right for you. Hidden away on Vieques island, away from any sort of significant development this resort has everything you need to let go. The only issues I had with the resort was the poor quality of the food and the attitude of the concierge. I felt for the excessive price tag of the meals that I would be getting at least 4-star level cuisine, but often I found myself wishing I was eating elsewhere. If you come to the W, eat off property. May 16, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by NewYorker12345 Beautiful Hotel, Terrible Service for the Price Mr. White, I am writing to inform you of what a terrible experience I had at your hotel in Vieques. My stay was in a Garden Villa from April 5-9 w a bill of approx. $3500. Here is a list of my complaints: On Fri, 4/6 at 1203pm-> I took out a 24-hour rental car w the Avis on the W Hotel premises. When I returned the car, I was informed by the clothing boutique sharing the building to return the keys to the W Hotel's Reception Desk, as there was no on at the Avis counter. There was simply a sign that said "Be back in 15 minutes." When I was billed on my Amex for the rental, I was billed for two+ days bc W Hotel Reception had not returned the keys to the Avis desk until Mon, 4/8 at 1004am. I was not told to sign any paperwork just to leave the keys w this tall, white European-looking woman. After I was over billed, I called the Avis desk multiple times, but there was never an answer. To remediate this (1) I left 20+ messages with Justin at W Hotel Operations (2) left multiple voicemail messages at the Avis desk and (3) even spoke w a female Avis Rep but no action on my behalf was ever taken until I called the Avis headquarters in the US and in Puerto Rico. I understand that Avis is a separate entity from the W hotel, but the lack of assistance, in spite of your "whatever whenever" slogan was sadly remiss. Not until Fri, 4/27 did I receive a refund from Avis corporate, in spite of all my efforts to work w the local Avis desk affiliated w the W Hotel. On Mon, 4/8-> I was stung by a bee near the main pool. I went to the Concierge Desk and a woman there did nothing but call a nurse or doctor on the phone. She gave me a bandaid and some cream. When I returned to NYC on Tues, 4/9, I had to visit my local doctor bc my right front calf was infected due to inadequate treatment. I was skeptical at the treatment delivered by your Concierge Desk but was told, "no, just a little cream and a bandaid is fine." When I checked out of the hotel, I even informed them of what had occurred and asked for additional cream and bandaids, but was told they didn't have any such cream and was given a bandaid as a parting gift. The lack of empathy was abysmal. On Tues, 4/24-> I called the W Hotel at 915am, bc at that time, my Avis issue remained unresolved. When I asked to speak to a manager, I was told by Dave (?) in Operations, that all managers were in a meeting and I would receive a return call within 30 mins. Today is Sun, 4/29 and I have yet to receive any call or email from management. Long story short, I will NEVER stay at any W Hotel again. As a Starwood Gold member, I cannot believe the pathetic service I received for a "luxury hotel" and cannot believe that I wasted $3500 at the W Hotel in Vieques. It is one thing to have a series of bad circumstances occur when on holiday. That can happen to anyone. The true test of a hotel's service is how they recover and assist in closing out any outstanding issues, and in my eyes, you have failed in every possible way. I will forward this email onto the appropriate corporate Customer Service persons to ensure they have an understanding of the lack of service I received, to ensure that this doesn't happen to anyone else in the future. It is really quite awful to have spent so much money on a vacation that didn't meet my expectations. April 29, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by LOCAL Not worthy of the W (or Starwood) flag The good: restaurant and grounds. The so-so: beach and tennis courts. The bad: staff incredibly obtuse and rude. Yeah, I used obtuse. The drama: way too much to go into here. Don't bother making plans as they will simply ignore or change them. Then, browbeat you or offend you in front of other staff and guests. Just plain horrible. The upshot: None. Repeated requests to speak or interact with the GM of the property ignored, even when National Reservations intervened on my behalf. Waste of feedback time to National as they noted that this was not the first complaint. They were tracking the issues. Good luck if you stay here. Just manage your expectations downward and you will be fine. April 22, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mike houskeeping was on vacation While the rooms were comfortable, getting clean towels, a turndown, or even another bar of soap was a challange. Burned out bulbs, non-working clocks and missing amenities (slippers) detracted from what otherwise was a nice experience. The front desk seemed unable to get any action from houekeeping as well - too bad. April 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by DCMike Great Honeymoon Location We chose the W Vieques for our honeymoon destination, and were not disappointed. It had the right level of high level resort quality we enjoyed mixed with the laid back nature of the island. We used points for our stay, and were upgraded to an ocean view over the pool. The view was amazing. We visited the spa twice--I highly recommend the coco scrub followed by a massage. The service was good; just understand it's island time, so the pace is slow. We always got what we needed and with a cheerful staff. We really enjoyed the passion fruit mojitos (the best ones made by Angel, in my opinion). Sunsets were gorgeous from the beach and pool. It was a great place to relax and enjoy the rest of the island. There is an Avis rental car right on property, and that's really convenient. Transfers to and from the airport are included in your resort fees. Every night at 6, they have a sunset sip, where the bartender makes a complementary drink for everyone who is at the outdoor fire pit. The concierge is very helpful booking off property events and reservations. We used them for dinner reservations and a trip to the biolumenescent bay. We had breakfast at Mix on the Beach a few days; it's a very good meal. The only misstep I'd say is the room service; I had a turkey club at the pool that was really good. I ordered the same sandwich at midnight one night and it was substandard. Overall, great place! It's pricey, but it's what you'd expect for a W and a quiet island. Oh, don't go here for nightlife, it's nonexistent. Go here to relax and be treated well. April 7, 2012

Alibis of Empire presents a novel account of the origins, substance, and afterlife of late imperial ideology. Karuna Mantena challenges the idea that Victorian empire was primarily legitimated by liberal notions of progress and civilization. In fact, as the British Empire gained its farthest reach, its ideology was being dramatically transformed by a self-conscious rejection of the liberal model. The collapse of liberal imperialism enabled a new culturalism that stressed the dangers and difficulties of trying to "civilize" native peoples. And, hand in hand with this shift in thinking was a shift in practice toward models of indirect rule. As Mantena shows, the work of Victorian legal scholar Henry Maine was at the center of these momentous changes. Alibis of Empire examines how Maine's sociotheoretic model of "traditional" society laid the groundwork for the culturalist logic of late empire. In charting the movement from liberal idealism, through culturalist explanation, to retroactive alibi within nineteenth-century British imperial ideology, Alibis of Empire unearths a striking and pervasive dynamic of modern empire.

Egypt Heads to Polls Amid Uncertain Outcome
13 candidates, four frontrunners, (probably) two finalists
If you happen to know who is going to win Egypt's presidential elections—whose first round is today and tomorrow—now is the time to find their equivalent of Intrade and place your bet, because nobody else really does. There's a compelling logic behind comparatively moderate Islamist Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh being the leading candidate (Wael Ghonim, the Google employee who was a hero of the revolution, voted for him). Word is that former foreign minister Amr Moussa, further a moderate, is leading in the polls. The Muslim Brotherhood's Mohammed Mursa is in fact leading in pre-filed absentee ballots (he can thank eligible voters in Saudi Arabia for that). And even Ahmed Shafik, who was of all things ex-President Hosni Mubarak's final prime minister and is widely seen as the military's favored candidate, has gained momentum.
Here's the truth: even when we get the results next Tuesday (which is the day of reckoning according to this indispensable primer), we won't know who Egypt's next president will be: there will almost certainly not be a majority victory, which would throw the election to a second round, next month, between the top two vote-getters. (It's like the recent French presidential elections, except in Egypt's case, unlike in France's, you can expect at least one candidate with an arguably anti-Semitic party to score better than third place.) I count six possible permutations, and even then we won't know for another few weeks who will win.
So what do we know?
We know, as Amr Bargisi complains today in Tablet Magazine, that actual liberalism is basically off the table. We know that all the candidates are likely to press harder for the Palestinian cause than Mubarak did, at the least by insisting Israel adopt the "Arab peace initiative," otherwise known as the 2002 Saudi plan, and that some of the candidates are unafraid to traffic in conspiracy theories and even anti-Semitism. We know that the eventual president will face a combination of constraints imposed by the military (which isn't going anywhere), the Brotherhood-dominated parliament itself, the Brotherhood itself, and perhaps most of all (and for the very first time) actual constituents who worry about things like food and the role of Islam and, today it so happens, a crime epidemic. We know Aboul Fotouh—who, again, is the relatively moderate Islamist, albeit the one who has the hardcore Salafists' backing—is a 9/11 Truther. We know, in short, that things are going to get bumpy, bumpier than they've been probably since February 2011, which itself was bumpier than they'd been in decades and decades.
Ultimately, it might be that Churchill line. The ouster of Mubarak, in hindsight, changed little practically, leaving aside its formidable effect on the region and the consciousness of Egypt's 70 million citizens. However, politically speaking, it could be that this election will be not the end, or the beginning of the end, but perhaps the end of the beginning.
