Robert M. Friedlander, MD, MAChair, Walter E. Dandy Professor
Head of Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery
On June 1, 2010, Robert Friedlander, MD, MA, became the fourth chair in the department's history. Prior to joining the department, Dr. Friedlander was professor of neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School and vice-chairman of neurosurgery and associate director of cerebrovascular surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
As a sign of his prominence as a clinician and scientist, Dr. Friedlander is one of a very select group of authors to have been invited by the New England Journal of Medicine to write both a basic science review (mechanisms of neuronal cell death), as well as a clinical review (management of AVMs). Clinically, Dr. Friedlander focuses on the operative management of complex cerebrovascular disorders and brain tumors.
Dr. Friedlander's major research interests lie in the study of the mechanistic pathways of the caspase apoptosis gene family. As co-director of Brigham and Women's Neuroscience Research Center, his work includes the evaluation of treatment strategies for neurodegenerative diseases (Huntington's and ALS), stroke, brain trauma, and spinal cord injury through the modulation of the caspase-family apoptotic pathways.
Dr. Friedlander's research has received significant media attention including major work published in Nature, Science, and Nature Medicine.
His work has also been recognized through many academic awards, including the Neurosurgery Resident Award from the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, the Bayer Cerebrovascular Award from the Joint Section of Cerebrovascular Surgery, the International Charcot Prize for Motor Neuron Diseases, and the Award from the Academy of Neurological Surgeons. In 2006, he was elected as a member of the prestigious American Society for Clinical Investigation. Dr. Friedlander is only one of two neurosurgeons elected as a member of the American Association of Physicians.
Specialized Areas of Interest
Aneurysms, vascular malformations, brain tumors, carotid disease, cerebrovascular disease, Chiari malformation, spinal cord tumors. Research focuses on mechanisms of apoptosis, Huntington's disease, ALS, and stroke.

Research Activities
The focus of Dr. Friedlander's laboratory is the study of the basic mechanisms of apoptosis, as mediated by the caspase apoptotic family in neurological diseases. In addition, discovering novel approaches to ameliorate the impact of cell death in a variety of neurological diseases is a central theme of the Neuroapoptosis Laboratory.
1) Researchers in Dr. Friedlander's lab are evaluating the impact apoptotic cell death, and in particular, that mediated by the caspase cell death family on the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Neurodegenerative diseases presently being investigated are amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) as well as Huntington's Disease (HD). Activation of the caspase cell death cascade appears to play an important role in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers have demonstrated that inhibition of the caspase-1 (also known as ICE) apoptotic protein slows the progression and delays mortality in transgenic mouse models of ALS and Huntington's disease. Furthermore, delivering caspase inhibitors directly in to the brain of these transgenic mice prolongs their survival. This was the first time that any intervention had been demonstrated efficacious in an ALS or HD model. Adding relevancy to these findings, researchers have also demonstrated that caspase-1 is activated in the brain and spinal cord of humans with HD and ALS respectively. Researchers have also demonstrated that minocycline demonstrates neuroprotection in a mouse model of HD.
2) Apoptotic cell death plays a significant role in stroke as well as traumatic brain and spinal cord injury. Researchers in Dr. Friedlander's lab are evaluating the impact caspase activation has on apoptotic cell death in these conditions. The relation of the caspase family and free radical production is also being investigated. Targeted caspase-mediated pharmacoprotection is also being investigated.
3) Using in vitro models, researchers are evaluating both the mechanisms involved in the activation of ICE, as well as the post-ICE activation pathways involved cell death. The role of Interleukin-1β in apoptosis continues to be a focus of research. Researchers are also continuing to evaluate the basic mechanisms of cell death, and especially as they relate to neurologic diseases.

"The hacking community is fraught with Eastern military comparisons. Like the ninja, we are continuing to come out of the shadows of our communal origins and grow into respected members of a larger society. As our industry matures, it demands more formal education, strict regulations and an adherence to a code of ethics. Therefore it becomes increasingly difficult to incorporate the culture of the unconventional warrior into our new world. Enter Wilhelm and Andress, who make it safe to show off your fu again. By the end of this book, the security professional is given the philosophical foundation along with a practical framework from which to leverage the way of the ninja. What could be cooler?"--Overall, Ninja Hacking has excellent relevant material and a significant amount of Ninja lore and history. While this book is not a technical reference, it is an excellent choice for someone who has an interest in Ninjas or someone who is looking for inspiration to think differently about penetration testing and security concepts. The mappings for traditional Ninja skills to the skills of today are mostly well-coupled and are always relevant to how the leaders in the field are addressing security today."----Donald C. Donzal, Editor-in-Chief, The Ethical Hacker Network
"When they put "unconventional" in the title, the authors weren't exaggerating. Perhaps the most unusual book written on computer security, this volume centers around detailed descriptions of the ethics, mindset, and tactics used in the Japanese martial arts commonly called ninja. The history of ninja fighting arts and the samurai warriors who practiced them are described in the first chapter. Each subsequent chapter presents specific ninja tactics, including intelligence, use of weapons, surveillance, and sabotage, then applies them to effective computer security management. Both authors are computer security specialists. The book also benefits from a Ninjutsu consultant, Bryan R. Garner, and a tec

Maybe starting over is the answer for the University of Northern Colorado football team.
A new dawn, a new day, a new way.
Whatever the answer is to stop what is now a seven-game losing streak and salvage the final month of the season, it's back to the drawing board for the Bears.
Except, the chalk is starting to wear pretty thin — especially after Saturday afternoon's 34-18 Big Sky Conference loss to UC Davis at Nottingham Field before 4,196 fans.
The best news for the Bears the last six weeks is that they now go into a bye week.
UNC head coach Earnest Collins Jr. even referred to his spiritual beliefs and stated "I know it's not the same, but I kind of feel like it's something that Job went through.
"It's something you have to go through," Collins added. "I can't explain it and I don't understand it. It's frustrating for our kids. Nobody's given up. There's no panic. They're tired of losing, and so are we."
Saturday's loss was UNC's seventh straight, leaving them at the bottom of the BSC at 0-4, 1-7 overall. UC Davis elevated itself toward the top of the conference at 3-1, 3-5 overall.
"It sucks for me as a head coach, trying to figure it out and put my finger on it ... I wish I could explain it but I can't."
The Bears scored 18 points in the second half, but it was hardly an answer for the 31 unanswered points the Aggies scored.
UC Davis put up 17 points on its first three possessions — touchdown passes of 28 and 16 yards from Randy Wright to Taylor Sloat and a 19-yard field goal by Brady Stuart — then made it a perfect 4-for-4 before the half, scoring again. This time it was a 20-yard pass from Wright to Corey Galindo.
"This feels great," UC Davis head coach Ron Gould said. "It's a culmination of all the hard work on the staff and the players. For us to be 3-1, again it sounds great but we haven't done much. It's a lot better than the alternative."
Collins and the Bears are dealing with the alternative.
To go along with their losing streak and dismal record, Saturday's statistics were of no consolation.
» UC Davis enjoyed a time of possession advantage of 19 minutes, 58 seconds, which was evident of the Bears' defensive struggles.
» The Aggies only punted once and were an impressive 11-of-16 on third-down conversions.
» UNC didn't move the chains until midway through the second quarter, and that drive stalled at the UC Davis 18 when it was ruled that wideout Dimitri Stimphil didn't have control of the ball before he went out of bounds at the 1 on third down, followed by an incomplete pass.
» A run of 43 yards by Tromaine Dennis (18 carries, 135 yards) in the third quarter went for naught as the Bears eventually stalled out at the Aggies' 36, failing on fourth-and-3.
Dennis eventually scored on a 43-yard run later in the period — the Bears' first score of the day, which came less than 30 seconds after UC Davis went ahead 31-0 on a 13-yard touchdown pass from White (27 for 37, 310 yards, 4 TDs) to T.J. King.
The Aggies' touchdown capped an eight-play, 64-yard drive that was aided by a personal foul on UNC's cornerback Courtney Hall for spearing, which earned him an ejection.
UNC middle linebacker Clarence Bumpas (14 tackles) wasn't making excuses for the Bears' inability to even slow down the UC Davis offense until the fourth quarter.
"There's no excuses, we should have had a lot more three-and-outs," Bumpas said.
On their first possession of the fourth quarter, the Bears couldn't punch it in from a first-and-goal from the UC Davis 2, and settled for a 19-yard field goal by true freshman Jamie Falloon.
Collins was left to explain settling for the field goal.
"A punt doesn't do you any good in that situation and we were down four scores, so I figured we'd kick a field goal and see what happens," he offered.
The three points didn't do too much to ingite the Bears as UC Davis took the ensuing kickoff and marched to the UNC 26 before Stuart hit his second field goal of the day, this one from 43 yards.
The Bears eventually mounted an impressive drive, going 75 yards on 12 plays late in the game to score on a Seth Lobato (18 for 31, 231 yards) to Dimitri Stimphil 6-yard pass with just 2:27 left in the game.
"We had (other) opportunities to score and just didn't capitalize," said Lobato, who later described the frustration of watching the Aggies chew up the clock while racing to a 31-0 lead.
"We have to score when our time is called," Lobato said. "We have to be ready and perform and be ready to strike when the opportunity presents itself."
Along with Wright's standout performance, the Aggies also piled up 178 rushing yards, an aspect Collins wasn't expecting.
"They show up and all of a sudden it (the opposing offense) changes," Collins said. "Theres' something going on with our team and me per se ... It's a lesson to be learned and we're not learning it fast enough."

Apple releases MacBook Air update to fix processor idling bugApple on Friday night released an update for the MacBook Air meant to resolve a longstanding problem with processor idling as well as one with video playback.
The plainly titled MacBook Air Update (368KB) addresses a problem reported by users on Apple's support forums and elsewhere in which one of the two Core 2 Duo processors would shut down when heat became an issue, significantly slowing down the system until it cooled down.
The fix also mends some problems with video playback on the ultraportable notebooks.
Apple is careful to warn that third-party utilities used to adjust the clock speed and voltage of the processor may create problems and should be uninstalled before applying the update.
Regardless of whether or not the problem is apparent, Apple recommends the update for all MacBook Air owners and requires Mac OS X 10.5.4 or later.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Michael Jordan isn't sure what to do or when to do it.
He's trying to rediscover his shooting touch and still be a team player. At times he tries to take over a game, and at others he forces the inexperienced Washington Wizards around him to become more involved so they can learn.
Seven games into his latest comeback, Jordan is averaging 24.1 points a game while shooting just 38 percent from the field. The Wizards have lost four straight to fall to 2-5, and the past two losses - both at home - featured a tentative Jordan and a lack of effort from the rest of the team.
"It's frustrating," said Jordan, who hadn't lost four in a row in the same season since February 1990. "I'm doing everything to try to smile to get ourselves through this."
Jordan was 13-for-30 and scored 32 points in Friday night's 109-100 loss to Golden State, then missed his first 14 shots before finishing 5-for-26 with 16 points in Sunday's 99-84 loss to Seattle.
In both games, the 38-year-old Jordan didn't start making his shots until the game was essentially over in the second half. In the Golden State loss, he got so angry he shot every time down the court just to see if he could find his rhythm. It worked, but that's the kind of streak that's tough to bottle up and save for later.
"I'm trying to take my shots in the rhythm of the offense whenever I feel it's a good shot or one the team expects me to shoot," Jordan said. "A lot of times I had those shots and I missed. That's frustrating. I got frustrated in the third quarter. I felt everything was so stagnant. Then somehow I hit my shot.
"I haven't been shooting with the rhythm and confidence, and that bothers me. I think it's going to take a little bit longer. I'm working on that. I know exactly what I'm doing wrong. It's just getting into a rhythm."
It was a similar story against Seattle. Jordan was woefully short on his jump shots, double-clutched when left open and missed an alley-oop layup to start 0-for-14. When he finally made a shot - a simple layup - Jordan shook his head and smiled as he ran down the court. With the pressure off and the Wizards trailing by double digits, he relaxed and made a few baskets in the fourth quarter.
Afterward, he said he was thinking too much.
"You miss a few, and it starts working on you mentally ... and that's the worst way to go to try to come out of a shooting slump," Jordan said.
Before the season began, Jordan fans feared that even one of the greatest players ever might not be immune to the Wizards' malaise that has sucked in so many others in the past decade. After seven games, that is already the trend.
Jordan is getting his points, but they are often as quiet and immaterial to the outcome as those scored in past seasons by Juwan Howard. Doug Collins' exasperated quotes are similar to those of departed coaches Gar Heard, Leonard Hamilton and Bernie Bickerstaff. Fans are booing. The team record is just where it was a year ago.
"I just don't understand," Collins said. "We practice with more energy than we play. ... I tell our team, 'Win or lose, let's put our hands together afterward and say we competed.' And now we've got four games that we haven't."
How bad is it? The Wizards specifically made it a point to go over their defensive rotation just before tipoff Sunday. Yet, on each of the first three Sonics possessions, rookie forward Kwame Brown missed his assignment.
His explanation? "I just wasn't aware of the ball."
Such lapses make Jordan realize that even if he finds his shot, it'll take a lot more work to turn this franchise around.
"We're trying to break habits and begin new habits," Jordan said. "And with that you have a lot of forgetfulness. The light turns on, and you forget about what you just went over."

Here is a question I get several times a week: When making quilted ornaments, should you use the regular (rough) Styrofoam, or the Smoothfoam balls?
My answer is abso-posi-lutely use the rough Styrofoam for quilted ornaments. Why? Well, there are several reasons.
- It is about a zillion times easier to push pins into than the smooth foam. This isn't a big deal when you only have to stick in a few pins. But when you will be using several hundred pins, this quickly becomes an issue. This will especially be an issue on those last couple of layers of the ornament, when you are pinning through several layers of fabric… and even more especially an issue if you are using a heavier weight fabric.
- I have personally found that the Smoothfoam easily dents when pushing pins through the last few layers of the ornament, especially with heavier fabrics. It just doesn't "give" as easily as the rough foam, and so if you find yourself pinning through heavier fabric and really needing to give it a little extra push to get it through the layers, the Smoothfoam just pushes in with the pin, right under your thumb. (This is not to say that the rough foam doesn't dent…it does. But…since it is easier to push a pin into in the first place, you won't have to push as hard, and therefore you'll avoid the dents.
The rough foam is a little bit cheaper. – This is not so much the case any longer!
A few people have said they thought about trying out the Smoothfoam because they were afraid that the roughness of the regular foam might be able to be felt though the fabric of the finished ornament. Nope, this will NOT happen on the regular quilted balls. Since the ornament is made by folding pieces of fabric or ribbon and then layering them on top of each other, the roughness of the Styrofoam base is completely masked by the time the ornament is finished.
Don't get me wrong…I LOVE Smoothfoam too, and I use it in my Moonlight ornament, as well as for some of the Snow Globe ornaments, and lots of other crafts and other ornaments that are on this website. Just not for the regular quilted ornaments. :D
ps. I am also asked a lot where I buy my Styrofoam. I buy the rough Styrofoam balls mostly at Walmart, because they are just a little bit cheaper there, than they are at Michael's or JoAnn's (unless you've got a coupon). But, you can also get them on Amazon (the price tends to fluctuate). The rough Styrofoam balls are HERE, and the Smoothfoam balls are HERE.

William H. Gass' 'Middle C' is a bumpy ride worth taking
There's an amusing and apt anecdote about William H. Gass, whose exhausting but also exhilarating new novel, "Middle C," has just been published.
During a 1978 debate, novelist John Gardner explained how he and Gass were different by stating that "my 707 will fly and his is too encrusted with gold to get off the ground." »Read Full Article

Lou Reed dies at 71, was lead singer of Velvet Underground
New York — Lou Reed, the great punk poet of rock 'n' roll who profoundly influenced generations of musicians as leader of the Velvet Underground and remained a vital solo performer for decades after, died Sunday. He was 71.
Reed died in Southampton, N.Y., of an ailment related to his recent liver transplant, according to his literary agent, Andrew Wylie, who added that Reed had been in frail health for months. Reed shared a home in Southampton with his wife and fellow musician, Laurie Anderson, whom he married in 2008. »Read Full Article(20)
Bel Canto Chorus, MSO join for night of sacred music
The Bel Canto Chorus and Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra joined forces at Christ King Parish in Wauwatosa on Saturday for a colorful evening of two 20th-century sacred works.
Bel Canto music director Richard Hynson led the combined ensembles in thoughtful, moving performances of Duruflé's "Requiem," from 1947, and Poulenc's "Gloria," which premiered in 1961. »Read Full Article
Chris Tomlin shows his passion for Christian music
Chris Tomlin did the old "how many first timers? how many veterans?" audience poll at the start of his Milwaukee Theatre show Saturday night. Not surprisingly, the majority of cheers in the largely full theater were from the newbies. Tomlin's "Burning Lights," released in January, was just the fourth contemporary Christian music album ever to top the Billboard charts.
What's interesting is that, unlike fellow chart-topping Christian artist TobyMac, Tomlin went No. 1 while being far more explicit about God. Saturday's concert was even halted for a 40-minute sermon by Tomlin's pastor (and the head of his record label) Louie Giglio. »Read Full Article(4)

This company has the worst customer service I have ever encountered. My boss went to Australia in September of 2010 and he is a VA flying club member. He was not credited mileage for his trip and we have been trying to get this resolved for the last 3 weeks. Still no resolution. I keep getting different people every time I call and no one knows anything. We have provided the flight number, Flying Club member number, Ticket number, dates of travel and record locator and still no one at Virgin Atlantic can tell us anything.
At first they tell me to call at 4 pm in the afternoon so that they can get in touch with the Flying Club and then when I call again they tell me to call at 10 am so that they can get in touch with the Flying Club. And whenever I search for a direct telephone number to the Flying Club address where we sent the Federal Expressed letter in Norwalk, CT - no one knows a number!!! This is the worst Customer Service I have ever dealt with!!!
I used Virgin Atlantic to Fly to Cuba from London in August 2010. I was struck in La Havana for nearly 3 days because of a mechanical problem with the plane. I will not go through the major inconveniences this has caused to me both personally and professionally. Virgin promised all passengers a complimentary flight anywhere in the world (except on their Australia route) valid for 18 month.
It took me 5 months to receive a confirmation letter for this complimentary flight. When I finally got it (after continually sending them emails and calling them), I called reservations in February 2011 to try to book a flight for June 2011 to be told "You called too late, no complimentary seats are available, you should have called earlier." When I explained that I ONLY just received the confirmation letter, the lady didn't want to hear about it. She was the least helpful person that I have come across. For an airline advertising high standards of customer service and strong ethics, they have a pretty odd way to show it.
Basically, Virgin delivered false promises at the time of the incident in order to keep angry passengers quiet and avoid a considerable amount of complaints but they are now refusing to honor their offer, hiding behind lame excuses.
This the tale of how Virgin Atlantic decided to make an extra $600 off of us when its staff knew we had no other option. Don't risk your trip on this airline. This can easily happen to you. We were returning to the U.S. after a four-day visit to London. We were delayed leaving because I had been feeling ill that day. We arrived rushing as best we could, and were even held up by Virgin staff trying to sell a seat upgrade.
By the time we arrived at the baggage check-in, it was 3:05 P.M. and our flight was leaving at 4 P.M. The agent took a few moments to review our documents, then asked someone else whether we could still put our bags on the flight. That person said no. Given that there were other passengers who were already at the check-in desk when we arrived who still were loading their bags, I know it was merely a Virgin policy to not allow us to load the bags and not any other restriction from the airport.
What was the next and only option? They charged us almost $600 more to take seats on a flight four hours later that was 70% empty. It sent an unmistakable signal: Virgin enjoys sticking it to customers who had some bad fortune. Again, don't risk a flight on this airline. It's like the worst of the credit card companies or other shysters in the market - the second they can find a reason and know you have no alternative, they'll unjustly suck as much money out of you as they can.
I was just browsing the airline reviews and saw nothing but complaints. With the exception being that I did not see one review for Virgin Airlines. So, instead of a negative, I felt it was time people heard of an airline that provides consistently clean, comfortable, enjoyable travel.
I have flown all of Virgin's US airlines including Virgin Atlantic, Virgin America and V Australia. Each trip has been pleasant and enjoyable. When was the last time you could really say that about air travel? My only complaint is that when I changed a flight I was not given the difference back on my credit card. I was issued an airline credit. Well it had an expiration date. I am a firm believer that credits should not expire. I hate to give up this "secret" but check them out next time you need to fly. You will be glad you did! And don't forget, they are starting space travel via Virgin Galactic in just a few months!
While on our way to Heathrow Airport, we were stuck in traffic for 2 and half hours because of an accident and me and my wife were 7 minutes late before the baggage closing time which I found later as being 60 minutes prior to the actual flight time. They refused to do anything at all. We requested to let us fly without our baggage and they still refused. We were directed to the booking section where the representative told me that there was a 200 pound change fee per person but had no seats until the 26th of October.
She suggested us to come to the airport every morning and stand by just in case someone doesn't show up or buy a one way ticket for the next day for $1500 each. We were basically stranded at the airport. We basically were forced to take a United Airline flight back for $1200 the same day. What kind of airline is this? Are they trying to make money off of people who had no control over the situation at all? I will never fly Virgin Atlantic again.
CALIFORNIA -- I purchased 3 tickets that cost around $1,500, and had a serious medical emergency that prevented us from taking the trip. I canceled two weeks in advance, and requested a refund. The refund was denied. I was unable to use the credit due to this ongoing health condition, and because I rarely fly. They were unwilling to refund even after I faxed in a note from my partner's doctor. (I have since faxed in other verification of several other hospital stays.)
During one communication with Guest Services customer service rep, I was told that the credit expired in August, when, in fact, most of it expired one month earlier. This led to most of my credit expiring. I have asked for an extension on the credit, so I could try to sell the credit to a third party at a discount. (I wish I could use the credit for flights, but, I'm just not in a situation where we could do that.) So far, the request has been denied and I'm losing hope.
I think Virgin America is being unfair -- I cancelled on time, and did not preclude their re-selling the seats. I think the policies are unreasonable and the staff and management are being inflexible and inhumane in this situation. Virgin America is profiting $1,500, getting my money without rendering any service. I feel robbed. If this situation is resolved, I'll post a followup or remove this review.
This was one of the worst carriers I have ever flown with (I have been to Europe 5 times). The seats are very uncomfortable and cramped. They lost our luggage for 2 days. We were told we could spend $100 (GBP 50) each for "essentials." We submitted our documentation for reimbursement and 6 months later - we still have not received a check.
They are very unhelpful. Coming home, the Virgin Atlantic flight was late so we missed our connecting flight. They were unhelpful. We waiting 10 hours in the airport for another flight and had to argue with the airline to be placed on it. I will try not to fly with them ever again.
I hope you will make sure that Sir Richard B. gets to see what some of our bitterness carries towards his airline. I said this because his airline is full of inefficient and morally bankrupt staff that cares more about themselves than the reputation of the job which earns them daily bread.
It was in October 2007 that I lost my luggage on the way from Johannesburg to Boston. I tried filling a complaint immediately, followed it with many phone calls. I was told to wait for 20 days and asked to make a formal claim. I'm writing this complaint on February 25th 2008; they did not care to even tell me where my case is in the pile of similar questions like mine. I will never forgive this airline and Richard if they ignore me. They will only add cents to my compensation request. Remember the court case of a guy whose jacket was trimmed in the laundry?
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- Virgin Atlantic have one of the poorest Customer Service I have ever seen. I lost my luggage on flight from London to LAX on August 8, 2007 (13 days ago). I have filed a claim form and they gave me an 800 phone number to call. This number is answered by a computer telling you that all lines are busy, call again. They have never answered my many e-mails and nobody ever called me to let me know what happen to my luggage. There are no phone number to call and finally I found one of their employ at LAX who offer to help but never heard from him since. Please help me to submit this complain to Virgin Atlantic or advice me on what to do next.
Flying back to London Heathrow from San Francisco with Virgin Atlantic, my wife and I packed our house and car keys into our checked luggage, given the heightened security situation at the time. Whilst in Virgin's charge, my bag was opened and our keys were removed. Virgin's ground staff refused to offer any practical help, and wouldn't even call a locksmith to get us into our house. The cost to us of replacing locks etc came to £358, only £155 of which we were able to claim back through insurance.
When I wrote to Virgin about this, they at first simply ignored me. After several attempts and nearly two months, they replied but have never apologized for losing our keys and say they are not legally obliged to offer any compensation. The offhand manner in which they have dealt with this incident is, in my view, disgraceful. I won't be flying with them again and recommend that others avoid them too. Incidentally, our flight was also delayed for 6.5 hours on the way out. As I said, there was a heightened security situation at the time but Virgin Atlantic seemed to have the biggest queues and the longest delays.

Historical Traveler Reviews Ambre Hotel Belle Mare
Superb no rats at all
nice clean hotel no rats or anything at all like that beach was clean nice staff and lots to do water sports were good vergitarian food was average but non veg was superb evening entertainment was good . definatly go again
Would recommend Hotel Ambre
Just returned from two weeks at Ambre and had an excellent time. The staff were great -probably amongst the most friendly hotel staff we have experienced in a long time. The beach was beautiful - much better than the beaches at other hotels close by (eg. La Palmar), and the sea was crystal clear. We had a very nice room, which was cleaned very well every day, and we were able to eat in the Italian, a la Carte and beach restaurants most nights, where the service was excellent and there was a good choice of dishes and wines for all inclusive guests. Our favourite time was lunchtime, when we at in the beach restaurant, with a carafe or two of wine, watching the world go by and feeding the birds - some of them were very tame. We did spend the first two days of our holiday thinking we were the only British guests in the hotel - I would say the Italians outnumbered all other nationalities by about 20 to 1, but this wasn't a problem. We did find six other British guests then and, by the end of our stay this number had risen to approximately 25. We didn't see any rats - just a cute little mole like creature one morning, and the occasional chit chat. We travelled with Mercury Direct and felt we received excellent value for money
Caring friendly staff, wicked beach!
We booked our holiday to Ambre hotel before I discovered this site. It was only after we had fully paid that I noticed the comments some other visitors had made regarding the hotel. To be honest I was a bit unsure whether I'd mad the right decision to visit this hotel, and actually I didn't tell my husband about the reports...!
I am pleased to say that all the negative reports we found to be unfounded. The hotel is smashing, the staff extremely accommodating and helpful, the beach suberb.
We stayed at the end of their summer and left at the start of their winter, although to us Brits it was still hot and sunny we wouldn't have known any different! The only give away was that some of the staff were wearing vests under their shirts!
We arrived at the hotel at around 10am after a long flight. I travelled with my husband and two sons (aged 2 and 5)and after the transfer we were ready to just crash out. The hotel could see this so immediately took our luggage from us, and sat us down in the cool open plan lobby where we could see the pool and beach. They then brought us some fresh juice and asked if there is anything we can get the children. This impressed us from the outset as it was clear that they were mindful of out situation.
We were shown to our rooms. We paid for a bog standard family room, and only requested a higher floor. What we got was in effect TWO rooms with an external front door, top floor (which was second floor - no tower blocks here!) TWO bathrooms, TWO balconys, one with a garden view and our room with a sea view. The boys room had twin beds and we had a double that could have slept three people as it was so large!
To be honest although the bathrooms were clean and each had a vanity mirror and bath, but they looked rather shabby and could have done with modernising.
The hotel is located right on the beach, and as some other reports have said it truely is the nicest stretch of beach you are likely to see. The sea is cristal clear (you can see silver fish swimming right up to you, and we also spotted the odd starfish!)and warm. There is a coral reef a little way out which breaks up the sea and stops it from coming in too fast. This means there is hardly any current which makes it great for swimming and for kids.
Also on the beach there is a bar / restaurant which you can visit fresh from the sea as it is so informal and relaxed. You can sit there in your bikini with the sand between your toes whilst eating your lunch!
The restaurant is buffet style which suited us as having young kids they don't always eat a full meal especially when hot and bothered. The quality of food is fine, the choice is good and it is replenished frequently. My boys loved the fact that they could have pancakes for breakfast!
This brings me on the the water. It is perfectly safe to brush you teeth in etc. There are endless amunds of bottled water to drink but it it not necessary to brush you teeth in it!
The best thing about hotel ambre for us was the staff. We have stayed in a lot of hotels around the world, and a lot have been of a higher star rating than this but we would be hard pushed to find nicer more friendly staff than here. We stayed for two weeks and just the second day in all the staff remembered our name and room number (you have to sign being all inclusive) All te staff knew our kids too. Everywhere we went the kids were treated like proper adults (my 5 year old was constantly kissed by one of the female kis reps - which he loved!) My 2 year old used to get taken off by some of the waiters behind the bar and given 'jobs' which again he adored!
Just to give you an example of how well we were treated, my 2 year old fell ill while there, and had a fever. We'd mentioned it in passing to one of the staff (it wasn't serious) and that evening the resident doctor hunted us down saying that he'd heard of the poorly boy and do we want him to take a look. This to us really surprised us as usually if something goes wrong you have a job to get to see anyone who can help, but here they can't do enough!
A couple of other points to bear in mind:
On various websites they advise thatthe plug sockets are UK three pin, others say it is EU two pin. In this particular hotel we found it is EU two pin, however in the bathroom there is one UK three pin!
Also there are very few UK visitors to this hotel. It is aimed mainly at the Italian / German / French market. This didn't bother us, in fact it made a nice change. I think while we were there we found in total five couples / families that were from the UK.
All the staff speak fluent English and French.
I hope this has helped you in choosing a hotel in Mauritius. There is much more to say about this hotel, but I suggest you check out theor website for more info!
Oh last thing - the weather was fab!! No rain for two weeks!
No rats to be seen !
After reading some earlier reviews about Hotel Ambre, we were slightly apprehensive about what we were in store for. However, after spending 7 Nights there, we can recommend Hotel Ambre to anyone planning a trip to Mauritius.
The Service was excellent, from our arrival welcome by the Duty Manager to the Transit Room on our departure day.
We stayed all inclusive, which we thought proved to be money well spent as there was plenty of decent meals and drinks that fell into this category - e.g a Beer from the bar would have been about �2.00 and a bottle of wine from one of the restaurants would have worked out to be at least �15.00.
The Rooms were spacious and really clean, and we had a balcony that looked out on to a stunning Sea View.
Hotel Ambre easily has the best stretch of beach out of the few hotels on the Belle Mare coastline, despite not being as expensive as the competition - the white sand was spotless and the sea clear and warm.
Despite quite a bit of rain (it rained at some point every day!!)and the long journey time (via Dubai), we can say that Hotel Ambre is well worth a visit.
P.S. NO Rats to be seen, however, we did spot a hedgehog as pointed out by one of the very friendly bar staff!!
What more could you ask for?
Having read some of the reviews that are posted about this hotel I was sceptical about staying there, We were married in Mauritius in October and stayed at the Ambre with 21 guests and had the best ever time, we chose the Ambre because we had family and friends from ages 24-60 and none of us could find a bad work about the hotel.
The water sports were first class, the Dive school is one of the best on the Island the food (both Buffet and ALa Carte) were first class.
As for the staff they were extremely helpful and could not do enough for us. The management even through a special cocktail evening for us the day before the wedding which was a nice personal touch as it was hosted by the hotel owner and the manager.
There have been some negative reviews posted and I would strongly urge you not to listen to them, we also stayed at the Beau Rivage (where we got married) and would definitely return to the Ambre with out hesitation.
Our 2nd time to Hotel Ambre
This is the second time that we spent our holidays at Hotel Ambre and as previously we were very impressed by the service and friendliness of the staff. The room was always very tidy when we got back to the hotel and also very clean not at all like some other holiday makers mentioned in their reviews. The food was excellent and there was always a big choice of menus. We also enjoyed the cabarets every evening and I must say the artists were very professional and really put up a fantastic show. I'm actually born mauritian living in Switzerland now and i'm amazed how the mauritians have improved over the last 2 decades and this makes me proud to be mauritian. We've been so much welcomed during this week that we were there that they even put us on the VIP list of Hotel Ambre. We will definitely go back to Hotel Ambre again, most probably next year already and we can strongly recommend this hotel to anyone who is planning a trip to Mauritius. A special thanks to all the staff and management of Hotel Ambre. I'm including a few photos that we made during our stay there and for more pictures, i have a website address: www.josette.ch
I won't come back there
My impressions about this Hotel:
Hotel is ok, nice beach, the diving club is a good one the divers know their job and the sites of "Pass of Belle Mare" (sharks, Octopussies...). The SPA was very relaxing but the price is a little bit expensive (about the same prices in Paris).
The staff was very helpful. Sometimes they were a little bit slow to bring us the bill in the restaurants. But they always took care of us.
Actually there is one HUGE problem with this hotel... It is INFESTED WITH RATS !!!!! (Actually I'm not a zoologist and perhaps they were big mice :-) but anyway it's horrible !!!)
After the first night I found a RAT in my bag !!!!
I have been upgraded to a better bedroom on the 1st floor view on the laggon + little gift (thx to the manager). But 2 days later I found another RAT IN MY BEDROOM during the night !!!!! (yaarggglll I HATE RATS). I had other gifts... OK great thanks to the rats I have enough gifts for all my family... But I would have preferred not finding any rats in my room !!!!!!!
Every nights we could see rats in the garden or in the paths (5 the last night).
If you are a "rat lover" this is the best place for your vacation in other case DON'T GO THERE
Don't go there
We were transferred to the Ambre Hotel in November 2004 by our agent, Travelbag, a week before travelling, due to overbooking so didn't have a lot of choice. The hotel looks good, but the management is appalling. We were on all-inclusive but , as it took an hour each time we wanted a drink there wasn't much point. The service in the bars was very, very slow, and mainly surly. The restaurants were even worse, bad-mannered, slow and unhelpful. On the last day we found bait being put in our room, and were told it was for insects and assured it was not harmful to us. In the evening we found a rat in the room, and asked the duty manager to change our room. He was very unhelpful and said they were full (which they weren't) and that he couldn't do anything. We spent the whole of our last night awake listening to the second rat die with the rat poison (not insect poison). The duty manager was the most unhelpful, rude manager I have ever met. I would advise anyone thinking of going there to think again!
Stayed in this hotel in July 04.
First impressions were good but once you get past the reception area the look went totally down hill. The accomodation on the outside was shabby, rooms were ok but not what we expected from the price paid.
Food was buffet which was repeatative after a few days, the other restaurants were never open. I will say I did see vermin running around the grounds especially in the restaurant area on more than one occasion. All in all I found this hotel to be very disappointing for the money paid.
Poor Management at this hotel - be careful!!
I chose the Ambre Hotel as my wedding/honeymoon location in June 2004.
First impressions of the hotel are great. Lovely reception area and a view of the pool and beach. All the rooms are spread along the beach front area which is very nice. Although they did look like a coat of paint wouldnt go a miss. The rooms are basic but have everything you need. The balcony was very small, too small to sit on and very dirty, the chairs needed to be replaced as they had clearly got wet on many occasions so had mold growing on them so not too impressed with that.
We were half board and the food was very good, although the buffet did get boring after a week. The other restaurants were not open every evening as suggested when we booked so there was not much choice. The beach bar/restaurant was never open during the evening.
There was evening entertainment but it didnt last very long and not too impressive. Drinks at this hotel are very expensive. You are in the middle of nowhere so no outside choices for entertainment.
The spa was very expensive and not a relaxing experience.
Watersports were great although as the hotel is on the reef it depended on the tide, as a result a few days no sports were available!
Our problem was with the management. We booked a package where we paid for the total holiday upfront. But we could have opted to pay for the second week locally.
After the first week we were asked to pay for the second week, we explained we had paid and showed the invoice to prove it, we were assured this would be sorted with our tour operator as there was clearly a break down in communication. We checked with reception every day, and each day had ro explain the situation again as it was not being communicated!
To cut a very long story short the hotel refused to make a call to the UK to sort out the problem, but told us thay were waiting for the operator to get back to them. As a result we were given a very large bill to pay when we checked out. The duty manager told us if we refused to pay the local charges they would be calling the police to make sure we didnt leave the hotel. He told us that this wasnt his problem!! He was the most arrogant man I have ever come accross within a hotel establishment.
The call was eventually made in the early hours of the morning to the UK who confirmed that there were no outstanding monies to pay. As a result our last night of our honeymoon was ruined and until now the hotel has refused to apologize to us.
This probably sounds like this is a one off and couldnt happen to you but the point is the front line staff are rude, they dont care how much you have spent on this dream holiday, all they care about is not making an internationl telephone call to resolve the problem. I have travelled to many countries and never been treated in such an appalling way by hotel management! This was not just a holiday, we got married in this hotel!
All I will say is be careful there are much nicer, caring hotels on the island to stay in!

Mind blowing Mauritius
... pretty much the same thing. We can't assume that people from different races and religions don't mix as all guides seemed to say that they all lived together in harmony. I think that perhaps the areas were quite expensive and maybe the majority of people there are rich compared to other parts of the city.
We also drove past a huge area which were salt pans … I was surprised at how large this area was and according to Mario, the ...
Time to decompress before touring
... same either.
Hopefully I'll sleep tonight. We'll have services tomorrow afternoon at 2:30, and I will give a message on the necessity of "Being Prepared" for the Feast, drawing on the analogy of BP (Baden Powell, founder of the Scout Movement) whose motto was not British Petroleum" – another "BP"– but "Be Prepared" !
Hope you all are. I certainly am! It's been a pleasure talking to ...
Cape of good Hope, Cyclones, Mauritious
... 2pm when the Texas man came on for the mid-day announcements. It was then he told us that they were scheduled to arrive in Mauritius at 10pm, and they were planning on refuelling and leaving at 1am. However, the Institute for Shipboard Education managed to pull some strings and have the ship spend the night and then clear customs at 6am. They would let us off the ship the following day from 8am-12pm. 4 hours in Mauritius!! How fun! The pool deck erupted in applause.
Into the Blue
... nice to us. By the time we ate and finished diving, it was time to get back on the boat so we got back in the truck and made it back to the boat in time. Once back on the ship though, it was quite entertaining to see all of the drunk people on deck 7, which is the pool deck and where people go to lay out, play ping pong, and relax. It was like a major party out on the deck haha. Anyways, Mauritius was great, and I hope that I can go there ...
Spring Break
... I spent a good amount of money.
Alright people, its time to get ready for South Africa. Though Mauritius is technically a part of the African continent, there is not much evidence that it belongs with this otherwise destitute continent. I'm excited to see what South Africa has to offer. To be honest, South Africa is the port I have been looking forward to for the entire voyage. I am going on a 3 day safari to Kruger National Park, and I can't wait. ...

INTERRACIAL interactions can get extremely steamy. That's why we at spankwire.com have decided to load tons of FREE porn movies onto our site. Many of us have wished to explore the beauty of another race. Unfortunately, we've probably never experienced big tit fucking like this. These women are busty, and they require fat cock. The contrast of color amplifies the pussy pounding on camera. The blending of these two people makes for a stifling sex scene. As her fat white ass jumps up and down we witness his big black cock thrust her hole with intensity. These are professional adult performers, and they will make your eyes bulge when you see that load cover her boobs and face. She'll mouth the words "thank you†as she licks up that cream and smiles. Why is our INTERRACIAL porn so sexy? Because at Spankwire.com, it's like nothing you have ever seen. Trust us when we tell you to prepare for a journey of a lifetime.

Sakio Bika: I'm Ready To Face Carl Froch in Las Vegas
By Chris McKenna, courtesy of The Daily Star
SAKIO BIKA has begged Carl Froch to keep fighting and promised he will deliver his Las Vegas dream.
The WBC super-middleweight champion was ringside at Wembley on Saturday to watch Froch knock George Groves out as he retained his IBF and WBA belts.
And Bika, 35, is desperate for a shot at Froch as he knows it could be his biggest pay day after seeing the Nottingham man pick up around £8m for beating Groves.
Froch is considering retirement after Saturday's sensational win but would be tempted to fight on if he gets a money-spinning bout on the famous Strip.
Bika said: "I am told Carl Froch would like to fight in Las Vegas because he has never fought there.
"Well, I would fight him there and that would be a fight everyone would want to see.
"When you hold three belts in one division, then you are the man. It's something to look back on when you retire to say you held three belts.
"It would be a very good fight for me to fight Carl Froch for the three belts because that would be a fight everyone in the world would want to pay money to see.
"If you hold the WBC, WBA and IBF belts, you would be the king of the mountain."
Cameroon-born Bika, who is based in Australia, gave Joe Calzaghe a tough night in 2006.
He is happy to face Froch anywhere and will even travel to England, if the money is right.
He added: "For me, it all depends on the money. If they want me to come over to England, I will come. If they want to fight in America, I will go there to fight him."
Froch's promoter Eddie Hearn knows he will have to offer his man something special to continue in the ring after being part of one of the biggest nights of boxing in Britain.
Facing Bika in the UK would not be a massive event such as the Groves fight so Froch would want to take him on in Vegas.
Matchroom Sport are considering setting up a base in Las Vegas as they look to crack the American market.
Eddie and Barry Hearn have had a massive impact on boxing and darts in the UK and Europe and now want to give it a proper go Stateside.
Hearn Jr would love to bring Froch and British fight fans to Vegas to announce their arrival in the US.
But he will allow Froch to make the decision with his coach Rob McCracken and will not put any pressure on him to fight on.
I'd like this fight. It'd be fun, but it's not happening. The only fight for Froch in Vegas is Jr. Plus, Bika has been ruled out.Comment by thack on 06-03-2014
No,no, it's got to be Ward in Vegas.Comment by moonshineman on 06-03-2014
I would love to see that fight. Bika always brings it..........Comment by MBE on 06-03-2014
At this stage in the cobras career 'belts collect dust', he doesn't need a strap, his name is far bigger than the governing body's.Comment by nycsmooth on 06-03-2014

IBM software channel programs are being updated to reflect the 2015 IBM Brand restructuring that better aligned IBM products and solution offerings to the marketplace. Effective January 12, 2016, IBM brand updates will be reflected in Software Value Plus (SVP) Open Distribution Product Groups. Then in April, 2016, IBM will align the SVP Authorized Distribution Product Groups to the new IBM brands. Part numbers will remain unchanged.
Business Partner SVI approvals will automatically be updated with the new Brand names and Business Partners do not need to take any action.
Existing SVI opportunity registration component records will be updated to reflect the new Open Distribution Product Groups. IBM will honor SVI opportunity registrations submitted for eligibility prior to the January effective date and subsequently submitted for payment.
When submitting new SVI opportunity registrations for eligibility approval, Business Partners must use the new Brand names and are strongly advised to refer to the Distributed Software Pricebook to ensure the correct brand family revenue records are created for the software Open Distribution Product Group products.
Frequently asked questions will be available shortly on the IBM SVP website.
Business Partners may direct questions via email to: firstname.lastname@example.com. Important: Please note "SVP PG Update Question" in the subject line.
