It's early spring in Washington, D.C., and the cherry blossoms lining the Tidal Basin are bursting like kernels of popcorn, lending a fairy-tale feel to the nation's bastion of power. But to catch a glimpse of the real Washington in action, you'd better arrive early. If you hit the street before 8 a.m., you may see the fittest man in Congress, U.S. Representative Aaron Schock of Illinois, clocking in for his 5-mile run—the conclusion of a morning fitness routine that starts in the House gym at 6:30 every weekday morning.
"It's got to happen early or it's not going to happen," says Schock, who on the cusp of his 30th birthday is the youngest member of the House of Representatives—and already in his second term. Schock, who represents Illinois's 18th congressional district (Abe Lincoln's old stomping grounds), is one of a dozen or so congressmen who make regular treks to the House gym for weight training and sessions of P90X, the video series created by Tony Horton.
(Aaron Schock is challenging you to lose weight and get healthier this summer. Take the Fit for Life Summer Challenge and see the program that will help you drop 10, 20, or 30 pounds and slash your risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and many other diseases dramatically!)
"When I first saw it I kind of laughed," Schock says of Horton's training regimen. "I didn't think you could get a real workout from a DVD. But at 6:30 a.m., it helps to have somebody talking you through your workout."
For a Washington politician, Aaron Schock's approach to governing is as unconventional as his approach to fitness. That's not because of his policy positions—he's a party-line Republican with a middle-class, Rust Belt background. And it's not because of his controversial statements and stances—his biggest national showdown involved a chummy ride on Air Force One during which President Barack Obama lobbied him to vote for the stimulus bill. (Schock politely declined.) And given that he's at least half a decade too young to run for the presidency, nobody fears his entry into the race for the White House in 2012 (or 2016, for that matter). No, what makes Aaron Schock so different in the Washington world is that he's committed to helping his generation embrace health and fitness as a personal responsibility—and he's doing it not just with words, but actions.
To understand just how unusual Schock's body politic is, consider this: The average age of a member of Congress is 57. The combined age of the two U.S. senators representing Hawaii is 172. Schock—the first U.S. rep born in the 1980s—is young enough to be the son of most of his peers, and the grandson of many. When Michigan congressman John Dingell was celebrating his 25th year in office, Schock was still in utero. And Schock has already been in politics for longer than a decade; he won his first election at 19, as a write-in candidate for a position on his local school board. His candidacy was an act of protest against the board's decision to prevent him from graduating early; he trounced his opponent with 60 percent of the vote.
Schock's apple-pie looks serve only to emphasize his youth; combine that with his conservative views and it's hard to miss his resemblance to a certain Alex P. Keaton. "The biggest misconception people have about me is that when they see how young I am, they think, 'Oh, this guy must have always wanted to be in politics, his parents must have been politically connected,' " Schock says. "I'm a finance major and always intended to go into business. We would read the newspaper at home, but that was about as politically involved as my family got. I'd never even been to the state capital until I joined the school board."
But instead of shrinking from the two characteristics that Ronald Reagan famously described as liabilities—his "youth and inexperience"—Schock embraces them. And that's perhaps his most radical position. He feels a special responsibility to young people, and he's focused on major issues that will affect his own generation the most: energy and the environment, the budget deficit, spiraling health-care costs, and a growing obesity crisis. He notes that members of Congress in their 60s, 70s, and 80s won't be around to suffer the consequences of their misguided policies, while Schock and his generation will feel the negative effects of bad policy for the rest of their lives. Schock is a committed deficit hawk who favors tax incentives to spur investment in alternative energy and infrastructure; but his greatest personal investments are in two areas: obesity and health-care costs.
In fact, this month Schock is launching an initiative—the Fit for Summer, Fit for Life challenge to help Americans take control of their health. (To sign up, go to MensHealth.com/schock.)
"One of my favorite quotes is from Ben Franklin, who said, 'A good example is the best sermon,' " Schock says. "And I think if you want to start talking about healthy lifestyles and staying in shape, then you yourself should do your best to try to be a model, an example to people you're trying to convince to do the same."
And model he does. When he strolls into a New York City studio for his photo shoot, Schock isn't sporting the typical boxy clothes that Beltway insiders wear in order to hide what's stretching their belts. Instead, he's decked out in a form-fitting Zegna suit and tapered shirt that show off both his musculature and his fashion savvy. He looks more like a hit man from a European spy thriller than a boring politician.
In other words, Aaron Schock is pretty fly for a Republican from Peoria. For much of the past few decades, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have laid claim to cool for the Democrats. Aaron Schock might just steal it back.

Is it possible to dynamically assign special methods, such as
__getitem__, to a class instance using
setattr()? For example, if I have this:
class Example (object):
And then try this:
>>> example = Example()
>>> setattr(example, '__getitem__', lambda x: 1)
I get this:
>>> example['something']
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'Example' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
But of course this works just fine:
>>> example.__getitem__('something')
There's obviously something going on here that I don't understand regarding how Python does method lookups for this sort of thing. Do these methods have to be set on the class, rather than on the instance?
So, I should make it clear than I know I can see this on the
Example class...I was hoping there was a way to set them per-instance, but the consensus I'm seeing so far is You Can't Do That.

Batam Island Restaurants
Where to Eat in Batam Island
For such a small island, the dining options on Batam are amazingly varied. There's fine dining, seafood, fast food, local specialties, even vegetarian restaurants – you name it, Batam has got it. Most restaurants, especially international ones, are concentrated in its main town, Nagoya.
Surrounded by tropical waters rich in all types of marine species, seafood remains one of Batam Island's main offerings, with the unique gong gong sea snails being one of its main specialties. If you want to get a true taste of Batam, head for the outdoor food courts; they offer a huge selection of local delicacies at amazingly low prices.

Food Courts
Batam has quite a few food courts, most of which are only open at night. Colourful and flavourful, they are the perfect places to sample Batam's true culinary culture, offering all kinds of gastronomic delights from seafood and local specialties to Chinese and Western fare. The city with the highest concentration of food courts is Nagoya, with the biggest food court being Nagoya Food Court.
Located just behind the Centre Point shopping mall, Nagoya Food Court is able to seat up to 400 persons at one time. This hugely popular, open-air food outlet is usually packed at night, and has its own performance stage. Other popular ones include Windsor Food Court and Pujasera A1 Food Court.

Local Specialties
Padang-style restaurants are common throughout Batam Island. An array of local dishes is laid on a table buffet-style – curries, soups, stir-fries, vegetables, meats and fried foodstuff – to be eaten with a plate of steamed rice.
Diners are free to choose what they want and only pay for what they take – a kind of culinary 'pick and mix'. 'Ayam penyet' is another popular local delicacy. Literally meaning 'flattened (or squashed) chicken', 'ayam penyet' is chicken coated with a mixture of turmeric and spices, and fried until crisp and golden brown.
This dish can be found at almost every local eatery, including roadside stalls, and is usually served together with rice, vegetables and sambal. Other popular local offerings include 'sup buntut' (oxtail soup), and Chinese Kai Lan (stir-fried Chinese broccoli).

Other Cuisine
However, dining out on Batam Island is more than just fresh seafood, Padang restaurants and food courts. Aside from all the usual, the island also has a pretty good selection of international options, including fine dining. Lucy's Oar House serves fantastic English pub grub such as bangers and mash, fish and chips, and steak sandwiches.
There are also vegetarian options, such as Moon Vegetarian Restaurant and Rumah Makan Vegetarian. For a first-class dining experience, head for world-class restaurants such as The Bistro Continental Restaurant and The Red Cock Restaurant. For those who love their sushi and sashimi, there are plenty of Japanese restaurants around town, too.

One of the things that Batam Island is most famous for is its seafood. Cheap and plentiful, you can find seafood at every corner - sold at stalls, by street vendors and in restaurants - offering variety and value for money. Fresh and free from preservatives, this island has been considered by some as the ultimate seafood haven.
The most popular seafood offerings here include chilli crabs, king prawns and the unique gong gong sea snails, which can only be found in the waters of Batam and the neighbouring Bintan. Best eaten steamed to succulent perfection, the meat is fished out from the shell using a toothpick and dipped in 'sambal' (locally-made chilli sauce) first before eating. It's hard to recommend just a few good places for seafood because there are so many available and they're all just as good – but you can be sure that wherever you go, you will find nothing but delicious, fresh seafood at extremely agreeable prices.

|Automated devices enabled by wireless communications are deployed for a variety of purposes. As they become more ubiquitous, their interaction becomes increasingly important for coexistence when sharing a scarce resource, and for leveraging potential cooperation to achieve larger design goals. This thesis investigates the use of game theory as a tool for design and analysis of networked systems of automated devices in the areas of naval defence, wireless environmental monitoring through sensor networks, and cognitive radio wireless communications. In the first part, decentralized operation of naval platforms deploying electronic countermeasures against missile threats is studied. The problem is formulated as a stochastic game in which platforms independently plan and execute dynamic strategies to defeat threats in two situations: where coordination is impossible due to lack of communications, and where platforms hold different objectives but can coordinate, according to the military doctrine of Network Enabled Operations. The result is a flexible, robust model for missile deflection for advanced naval groups. Next, the problem of cooperative environmental monitoring and communication in energy-constrained wireless sensor networks is considered from a game-theoretic perspective. This leads to novel protocols in which sensors cooperatively trade off performance with energy consumption with low communication and complexity overhead. Two key results are an on-line adaptive learning algorithm for tracking the correlated equilibrium set of a slowly varying sensor deployment game, and an analysis of the equilibrium properties of threshold policies in a game with noisy, correlated measurements. Finally, the problem of dynamic spectrum access for systems of cognitive radios is considered. A game theoretic formulation leads to a scheme for competitive bandwidth allocation which respects radios' individual interests while enforcing fairness between users. An on-line adaptive learning scheme is again proposed for negotiating fair, equilibrium resource allocations, while dynamically adjusting to changing conditions.
