The early clues for Lleyton Hewitt's stunning 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 upset of Swiss great Roger Federer in the Brisbane International decider lay in the opening game on Pat Rafter Arena.
Federer lined up the most regulation of backhand slices, ripped downwards and came up with nothing but air. He studied his racquet for evidence of gaping holes but the answer evaded him, as did his form in a crucial lead-up to the Australian Open.
It took just 27 minutes for the Australian to win the opening set, dropping just one game and the jaws of almost everybody in the sellout crowd. This was a complete humbling nobody had predicted and Hewitt, a bulldog still, went on with the job.
Federer dug in his heels in the second set, wrestling with his own game as much as that of his opponent. But when he fired three aces, then struck a sublime, dipping forehand winner to close it out it seemed as if he had finally flicked the switch.
Hewitt doesn't make a habit of going away. Even though his best days lie in the past, the 32-year-old remains Australia's leading man. He could sniff ATP tour title number 29 and would not be denied in front of home crowd urging on his every move.
Hewitt secured the crucial break in the fifth game of the final set and, with the stifling humidity bearing down, must have felt the longer it went the better his chances of outlasting his old rival, who was coming off a six-week break leading into the tournament.
The telling moment arrived with Hewitt serving at 4-2. Federer had two chances to break back but Hewitt attacked on the serve, surviving a pair of break points before forcing a backhand error.
Federer made Hewitt serve it out and the South Australian obliged, completing a superb week in the Queensland capital and sending his world ranking rocketing from 60 to 43 ahead of the first grand slam of the season.
Federer might have known he was in for a long and strange afternoon when he managed to hit the on-court announcer in the head with a ball during the warm-ups and player introductions.
That was about as accurate as he got at the start of the match. So out of character was his play that pundits were frantically searching for evidence of a secret injury or ailment he may have carried into the contest.
Federer's first set must rank among the worst he has ever played since taking command of his sport. So wonky were his unwieldy groundstrokes there was thought he had concealed an injury or ailment heading into the match.
But focusing on the woes of Federer does a disservice to Hewitt, who many felt had overachieved simply by making the final.
He played aggressive, confident tennis and rattled Federer from the start.
It was 16 years ago that Hewitt tasted his first tournament victory, when he won his home-town event in Adelaide as a teenager. He took his career tally against Federer to nine wins and 18 losses.
Federer had looked assured and happy with his play before the final, not dropping a service game in the earlier rounds.
But defeat at the hands of the evergreen Hewitt must cast his Australian Open aspirations into serious doubt as the big guns start to arrive in Melbourne.

Faculty Productivity and Costs at the University of Texas at Austin
June 1, 2011
Recently released preliminary data from the University of Texas (UT) at Austin strongly suggest that the state of Texas could move toward making college more affordable by moderately increasing faculty emphasis on teaching. Looking only at the UT Austin campus, if the 80 percent of the faculty with the lowest teaching loads were to teach just half as much as the 20 percent with the highest loads, and if the savings were dedicated to tuition reduction, tuition could be cut by more than half, says the Center for College Affordability and Productivity.
Other highlights of the study:
- Twenty percent of UT Austin faculty are teaching 57 percent of student credit hours.
- They also generate 18 percent of the campus's research funding.
- This suggests that these faculty members are not jeopardizing their status as researchers by assuming such a high level of teaching responsibility.
- Conversely, the least productive 20 percent of faculty teach only 2 percent of all student credit hours and generate a disproportionately smaller percentage of external research funding than do other faculty segments.
- Research grant funds go almost entirely (99.8 percent) to a small minority (20 percent) of the faculty; only 2 percent of the faculty conduct 57 percent of funded research.
- Non-tenured track faculty teach a majority of undergraduate enrollments and a surprising 31 percent of graduate enrollments.
- The most active researchers teach nearly the average of all faculty; increasing teaching loads of others would trivially impact outside research support.

ADELAIDE UNITED playmaker Dario Vidosic said the Reds would find solace in returning to A-League action after the turmoil of John Kosmina's shock exit as coach.
Kosmina's sudden resignation on Monday stunned Adelaide's playing group, who were already reeling from consecutive losses.
The defeats resulted in United sliding from second to fourth before Sunday's crucial home fixture against third-placed Western Sydney Wanderers.
Kosmina's replacement, interim coach Michael Valkanis, had brought a renewed sense of urgency to United, Vidosic said. ''It has been a really good reaction this week and hopefully we can put it all together and make a good performance of it on Sunday and get back in the winner's circle.
''We want to set it all right and put the last two negative results and our coach leaving behind us,'' he said.
''There are a lot of positives in the week we have had, good training sessions, and everyone has got a really good buzz about them and the focus is fully on Western Sydney.
''He [Valkanis]) is putting his plans to work and we just need to push and pull in the same direction as a squad.
''We have got a lot of quality; we just need to put it all together, the important thing is to get the consistency back, start scoring and start winning.''
The last clash between Adelaide and the Wanderers, who both have 32 points on the ladder, resulted in a humiliating 6-1 loss for Vidosic's Reds.
The Wanderers enter Sunday's match on a three-game winning streak, though Vidosic hopes Adelaide's solid form at Hindmarsh Stadium continues. ''It has been very hard to beat us here and we don't want that to change,'' he said.
''We're ready to go and what better test than one of the in-form teams of the competition.''
Adelaide striker Bruce Djite returns from a three-match absence due to a groin injury, and fellow spearhead Jeronimo Neumann will miss Sunday's game through suspension.
With attacker Sergio van Dijk released to Indonesia, Vidosic could be used as a frontman against the Wanderers. ''If I get that role, I will follow the instructions I have been given, so if I go up there I'll be really looking forward to the challenge against probably the best defence in the A-League,'' Vidosic said.

his report is a preliminary and living document highlighting the economic effects of Hurricane Sandy on New York City. It examines how the use of loans as the main form of "aid" to disaster-impacted communities is not effective at addressing individual or community needs. Further, the use of loans may lead to disastrous longer- term economic consequences for the impacted communities.
Although Hurricane Sandy was the first "Frankenstorm" to hit New York City, in recent years climate disasters have become a regular sight on the evening news. From Hurricanes Katrina and Irene to Midwestern droughts and wildfires in the Southwest, many communities are facing these types of crises all across the country. As our climate has changed, the burden of the cost of disaster has also been shifting. Individuals are now expected to shoulder relief expenses that used to be shared publicly. Victims are faced with long-term, unexpected economic consequences as well as displacement from the communities they call home. [emphasis mine]

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:12am
After a busy and eventful February, March lacrosse is finally here. Here's what to watch for this weekend.
Florida vs. Syracuse: Saturday, March 2
at SunLife Stadium, Miami, Fla.
The breakdown: In what has become a powerful rivalry in just two years, Syracuse travels down south for the third time this season to take on Florida in a rematch of last season's NCAA semifinal game. Each team boasts quality top ten wins, as Florida enters the weekend tilt undefeated at 6-0. Syracuse, 2-1, is heading into the weekend coming off a comeback win against Virginia in the Carrier Dome. In what many were calling the "Game To Watch" heading into this spring, this will undoubtedly be a passionate fight between the Orange and Gators. Adding to the excitement? This one will be played in Miami's Sun Life Stadium.
What to watch: The battle.
It was so close they could taste it. Less than a season ago, Florida took the field for the second half of the NCAA semifinal match in Stony Brook with an NCAA championship bid in sight. They led 7-3 at the half and momentum was in their favor as they rattled off the first two scores in the second. But, Syracuse fought as they chipped away at the Gator's six-goal lead eventually tying the game with :30 seconds remaining in regulation. Eventually, it was the Orange who prevailed in the overtime thriller and continued to make history.
2013 is a new slate, but memories like that never fade. The Gators will come out fighting hard on Saturday night in Miami, as the Orange will look to match the fire and intensity. It's games exactly like this that make lacrosse such a fun sport to watch. As Florida and Syracuse take the field, this will be a fight and game of inches. As all bets are off in Miami, this is undeniably the game of the weekend as Tewaaraton Trophy finalists and U.S. Team teammates Brittany Dashiell and Michelle Tumolo continue to embark on their 2013 senior campaigns.
Who to watch: Shannon Gilroy, Florida Midfield (So.)
The sophomore sensation out of Northport, N.Y. has made quite the name for herself as a Gator in just her first two seasons. A threat all over the field, Gilroy leads the team with 21 draw controls and sits second on the very balanced Gator attack with 16 goals.
Princeton at Georgetown: Friday, March 1
The breakdown: Perennial powers Georgetown (2-0) and Princeton (1-0) are set to collide as the Hoyas host the Tigers tonight in Washington, D.C. Coming off a 10-5 victory over Villanova, Princeton is still finding their stride as a trio of rookies are already making waves for the Tigers this spring. For Georgetown, it's been a true team effort in a pair of close contests against the likes of Towson and Delaware. Heading into the evening, both teams are still looking to claw their way up the ranks in 2013. This evening's match will prove to be very telling as to where each team stands and where they're heading this spring.
What to watch: The Princeton rookies.
In their first collegiate game, freshmen Alexandra Bruno, Anya Gersoff and Stephanie Paloscio led the Tigers over Villanova, 10-5. Bruno, who leads Princeton early on with three points (2g, 1a), was one of the nation's top recruits in the 2012 class out of Garden City, N.Y. As Princeton's freshman class continues to see sufficient playing time, they give the Tiger attack a new look and the additional depth it takes as Princeton looks to claw their way back up the Ivy League ranks.
Who to watch: Caroline Rehfuss, Princeton Defense (Sr.)
The reigning Ivy League Defensive Player of The Week held Villanova's leading scorer without a goal a weekend ago and recorded an assist, four caused turnovers, three ground balls and one draw control. As the Tigers continue to incorporate their freshmen into the mix and get their feet under them, Rehfuss' leadership defensively is extremely valuable.
Maryland at Virginia: Friday, March 1
The breakdown: The Terps have come flying out of the gate this spring as Maryland has cruised to the No. 1 spot in both polls heading into the weekend. With decisive wins over Syracuse and Duke, Maryland has proven they can score early and often with ample ammo led by seniors Alex Aust and Katie Schwarzmann. Virginia, 2-1, is looking to bounce back from their loss in the Carrier Dome a week ago. A new-look offense has the Cavs back in the mix this spring led by Casey Bocklet and Morgan Stephens.
What to watch: The pace of play.
As the ACC foes head into this evening's match, there are certainly two very different strategies that will come into play. Maryland, a team that has dominated possessions all season long, will look to continue as they have the spring with a high-flying offense and an aggressive, show-stopping defensive unit. But, if Virginia can control the draws—much like they did against Syracuse in the first half—they will likely attempt to slow the pace of play down a bit in hopes to contain the explosive Maryland offense.
Who to watch: Courtney Swan, Virginia Midfield (So.)
The sophomore middie makes the hustle plays for the 'Hoos this season. Swan currently leads the team with nine draw controls, six ground balls and five caused turnovers.
Harvard at Cornell: Saturday, March 2
The breakdown: The pair of Ivy League foes are set to square off in Ithaca, N.Y. on Saturday afternoon as Cornell enters 1-0 and Harvard enters 0-1. In what was arguably the tightest conference race of 2012, the Ivy League is seemingly anyone's game this season, as well. As each game proves to be do or die in the Ivy, this match should be a preview of just how competitive this league gets. Led by Danielle Tetreault, a Preseason Inside Lacrosse All-American, the Crimson seniors are looking to soar as the class has made quite the name for themselves during their four years in Cambridge. Cornell, a team that graduated leadership top to bottom a season ago, has a new look as the Big Red head into this one looking to remain undefeated in 2013.
What to watch: Harvard's leadership.
Harvard's lineup features a slew of seniors looking to make a bang in their final season under Coach Lisa Miller. During their tenure in Cambridge, they've taken the program to new heights as Harvard has soared to the top of the Ivy League in recent years. In what will be a cold, windy one in Ithaca, the Crimson's senior leadership in Danielle Tetreault and Micaela Cyr will be especially crucial in this contest. Top to bottom, Harvard boasts the talent to make an NCAA appearance. If their seniors can make plays, the rest will follow suit. Undeniably, this is going to be a fight—but, if Harvard's leaders can rise to the occasion, the Crimson can shake the Stanford loss and continue to go to work this season.
Who to watch: Lindsay Toppe, Cornell Attack (So.)
Toppe exploded for seven points in Cornell's win over Canisius. As Jessi Steinberg left Ithaca as one of the most decorated Big Red in recent years, Cornell needs a new star to make plays. That will likely be Toppe, who leads the team with four goals and three assists through their first contest.
Loyola at Towson: Saturday, March 2
The breakdown: Despite high preseason hopes, Loyola finds itself 1-2 on the season struggling to find consistency offensively this spring. Much like the Greyhounds, Towson also finds themselves sitting 1-2 on the season. Both teams possess the talent and depth to be sitting a bit higher than they do in the ranks this spring. This game will be crucial and though it is a nonconference match, this is a sort of must win for both teams. To avoid dropping to 1-3 on the season, this game comes down to grit and character, as we'll see a lot of fight on the line tomorrow afternoon.
What to watch: Loyola's goal scorers.
In their Hopkins setback, the Greyhounds offensive unit just looked a bit flat. They have all the talent in the world to make plays, but they have yet to hit their stride in 2013. This is the perfect moment to find that rhythm. All-American Marlee Paton leads a unit that seemingly scored at will a season ago. If they're going to win and make a stand after their mid-week loss, Paton will need to lead the way she did a season ago.
Who to watch: Sarah Maloof, Towson Attack (So.)
The sophomore attacker could prove to be a thorn in Loyola's side if she continues to produce the way she has been early in 2013. Maloof leads the team with seven goals and six assists and is shooting with nearly 64% accuracy.

Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML With David Cameron at the G20 summit in Mexico and Nick Clegg at the UN summit in Rio, it was left to William Hague, who is First Secretary of State as well as Foreign Secretary, to hold the fort at today's PMQs, with Harriet Harman deputising for Ed Miliband (as is traditional on such occasions). The session began slowly, with several banal questions from Harman on Burma (she asked Hague whether he would join her in expressing admiration for Aung San Suu Kyi). In response, Hague pointed out that he was the first European foreign minister to visit Burma earlier this year. However, the encounter took a partisan turn when Harman raised the NHS, traditionally a trump card for Labour at PMQs. Hague managed to respond adequately enough to reports that cost-cutting NHS trusts are rationing care (he described it as "totally unacceptable" and pointed out that the Secretary of State can intervene) but failed to rebut Harman's claim that Cameron had broken his promise to increase the number of midwives. In response, in a series of references to Rebekah Brooks's infamous text to the PM, the deputy Labour leader quipped that before the election it was "Yes, we Cam". Now it's "No we can't." She added: "the Prime Minister said he could sum up his priority in three letters: NHS. Isn't it more like LOL?" The text was a political gift to Labour but Harman's jokes felt forced and fell rather flat. It was Hague who had the line of the session when he noted Ed Balls's absence and quipped that he was off commissioning another poll into what people think of him, causing even Harman to laugh. The shadow chancellor, whose PMQs taunts routinely unsettle Cameron, will be pleased to know he was missed. But on a more serious note, today's session was a reminder of why the NHS, even more than the economy, could prove an electoral headache for the Tories. Cameron worked hard to convince the electorate that the Tories could be trusted with the NHS and many now feel understandably betrayed. While Hague could deflect Harman's question about midwives with a reference to the doctors' strike (which Harman then condemned), that's not a trick Cameron will be able to play come 2015. "It's always the same, Labour builds up the NHS and Tories drag it down," said Harman at one point. The danger for the Tories is that most voters agree with her. › Nose to tail Foreign Secretary William Hague, who replaced David Cameron at today's Prime Minister's Questions.

Caller ID Spoofing
your safety
is our number one concern
"Spoofing" is a scam employed typically by telemarketing firms who circumvent the Caller ID system by falsifying their calling party number information. In the past, these organizations requested that their calling information be "blocked", which kept the called party from knowing the name and number of the calling party. We encourage our customers to steer clear of answering calls from any number they are not familiar with. If a charge results on their account that they believe was a result of being "spoofed", we encourage them to call customer service and have it removed. To file a complaint, contact your local public utilities commission or the Federal Communications Commission at 1-888-225-5322 (CALL FCC) or www.fcc.gov/cgb/complaints.html.

Press Release: Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar To Offer Undergraduate Degree Programs in Biological Sciences and Computational BiologyContacts: D. Murry Evans / CMU Qatar Campus / +974 4454 8490 / email@example.com
Jocelyn Duffy / CMU Pittsburgh Campus / 412-268-9982 / email@example.com
DOHA, Qatar—Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar has launched two new undergraduate degree programs in biological sciences and computational biology. The programs are a collaborative effort with Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar (WCMC-Q), with students receiving their degrees from Carnegie Mellon.
"Carnegie Mellon Qatar is excited to partner with Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar to offer new programs in biological sciences and computational biology. Graduates will be uniquely qualified to solve problems and contribute to cutting-edge research in fields such as biomedicine, health care and global health," said Ilker Baybars, Ph.D., dean of Carnegie Mellon Qatar.
Javaid I. Sheikh, M.D., dean of Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar, said: "WCMC-Q is delighted to join CMU-Q in offering bachelor's degrees in biological sciences, which would be an important contribution to the vision of Qatar becoming a knowledge-based society by 2030. These joint programs are a shining example of increasing collaboration among Qatar Foundation's institutions to reflect the vision of Her Highness Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser."
Carnegie Mellon plans to offer two degree paths: a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in biological sciences and a B.S. in computational biology. These majors will be offered in collaboration with their associated departments at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh: the Department of Biological Sciences in the Mellon College of Science for the biological sciences degree, and the Lane Center for Computational Biology in the School of Computer Science for the computational biology degree. As part of its new incoming class, Carnegie Mellon has enrolled six transfer students into the new B.S. in biological sciences program.
Students pursuing the B.S. degree in biological sciences will undertake a rigorous, quantitative course of study that requires substantial laboratory experience. The program will equip students for graduate study, medical school, or jobs in industry, government or academic research.
Students completing the B.S. degree in computational biology will be highly trained in one of the most rapidly growing areas in modern biology. Computational biologists, who apply computer science techniques to complex biological problems, will be prepared for work in biomedical imaging, genomics and population genetics, among other important areas.
The new programs draw on the unparalleled expertise of two world-class institutions. Carnegie Mellon, known internationally for its researchers who solve real-world problems, was the first university in the United States to offer an undergraduate degree in computational biology. Founded in 1898, Weill Cornell Medical College in New York is among the top ranked medical research centers in the United States.
Students who are enrolled in Carnegie Mellon Qatar's three existing undergraduate programs — business administration (BA), computer science (CS) and information systems (IS) — will be able to participate in the new programs by taking courses in biological sciences or computational biology. This interdisciplinary opportunity will enable them to develop an understanding of key issues in biological sciences that directly impact their disciplines.
Once fully established, between 20 and 25 students are expected to enroll in the programs annually. The core curriculum will include mathematics, the physical and life sciences, computational biology and laboratory courses. According to their degree path, students may take advanced electives in neuroscience, immunology, computational biology, as well as liberal arts classes. Students attending other universities at Qatar Foundation will also be able to cross-register for various courses in the biological sciences.
"These new degree programs are a milestone in complementing the efforts of our partners with whom we are working to enhance health care research education and I am especially proud of the collaboration across QF's international partners that has made it possible," said Fathy Saoud, Ph.D., president of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development. "Graduates with a mix of modern biology, computational biology and business skills will be paramount in the operational research functions of QF's Sidra Medical and Research Center, whose opening we are eagerly anticipating in 2012." The president added, "Through a unique joint collaboration between two university campuses in Education City, modern biological sciences, particularly computational biology, will be offered for the first time in the Middle East."
Continuing Carnegie Mellon's longstanding tradition of undergraduate research, degree-seeking students will have the opportunity to engage in a 10-week discovery-based research program at Carnegie Mellon Qatar, WCMC-Q, Sidra Medical Research Center or other Qatar research institutions.
"Undergraduate research is at the heart of Carnegie Mellon's biological sciences program. Our students learn critical thinking and problem-solving skills that they are able to apply to any career that they may choose," said Fred Gilman, dean of the Mellon College of Science. "Our students and alumni cite undergraduate research as one of the best parts of their education. We are excited to bring these opportunities to Carnegie Mellon's Qatar campus."

I recently purchased a new suv and wanted to protect the leather seats from two active golden retrievers with long hair and nails. My experience is that it stays in place, fits great, is easy to put on and off and resists moisture. It meets my expectations. I felt it was better to pay more and get what I needed rather than have damage that costs much more. I only wish I had something this nice to protect the doors on either side of the seat.

Baku, Azerbaijan, June 25
By Rufiz Hafizoglu - Trend:
Some 80 Turkish citizens are held hostage by the militants of the terrorist group the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, according to TRT Haber TV channel.
Erdogan said Ankara is doing everything possible to liberate the country's citizens.
The PM also said that the country's opposition demands from the government a sharper response to the ISIL militants, but it is necessary not to forget that Turkish citizens are held hostage by the militants.
On June 10, the militants of the terrorist group known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL a.k.a ISIS), supported by the banned Iraqi Ba'ath Party [the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party], seized the administrative center of the city of Mosul in the northern Iraqi province of Ninawa, a number of small settlements, as well as part of the Salah al Din Province, including its center - the city of Tikrit.
The ISIL militants took control over the Iraqi town of Tal Afar on June 16.
The city's military airport also came under the control of the ISIL militants on June 22.

(9/14/2009) NEW HAVEN- The City of New Haven�s Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program recently received a �green� designation from HUD�s Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control. This designation is based on an assessment of New Haven�s overall performance for the April through June quarter.
The Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Control Hazard awarded New Haven a rating of 100 out of 100, as the program has met and/or exceeded its benchmarks and milestones for the quarter. Specifically, the City�s Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program is ahead of schedule in target assessments and evaluations, target outreach events and target individuals trained.
Lead poisoning is a serious disease that can cause intellectual and behavioral damage to children who are exposed to lead at a young age. The number one source of lead is lead-based paint, which exists in nearly three quarters of U.S. homes built prior to 1980.
This year, the City of New Haven received an additional $3,000,000 in HUD funding for its lead abatement program. The majority of this grant has been set aside to provide qualifying property owners with forgivable loans of up to $10,000 per unit for lead-based paint hazard control in housing built prior to 1978. These deferred loans are completely forgiven after five years, clearing borrowers of any financial obligation.
�We have been able to significantly reduce the number of lead poisoning cases in the City through our abatement program, but the next step is for property owners to take advantage of the funds that are available,� said Paul Kowalski, who oversees the City of New Haven�s Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program. �We want to end childhood exposure to lead and the only way to achieve this goal is by abating lead-paint from all New Haven housing units.�
The forgivable loans are administered by the Greater New Haven Community Loan Fund (GNHCLF) on behalf of the City of New Haven. For details on loan eligibility or to apply, please contact the Community Loan Fund at 203-624-7406 or www.gnhclf.org.
New Haven�s Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program is a collaborative partnership between the City�s Department of Health, Livable City Initiative and the Yale Lead Program and Regional Treatment Center. For more information about the program, please contact Paul Kowalski at (203)-926-8173.

Be aware however that in the smiling photograph some of the bulge that you see is the contraction of your normal lower eyelid muscle. This fullness directly below the lashes seen when smiling will be present even after blepharoplasty fat removal.

Transconjunctival blepharoplasty with or without fat Repositioning for puffy eyelids.
I am 21 and considering lower lid blepharoplasty
First you are probably young enough that lower eyelid filler may accomplish everything you need.
If you went with surgical treatment, the best option is most likely transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with arcs marginalis release. This takes the fat in the lower eyelid and shifts to the top of the cheek. You will love the effect of this surgery. Now, here is the thing, no every surgeon is put together the same. This type of surgery in my opinion is best performed by a fellowship trained oculoplastic surgeon with a large focus on eyelid aesthetic surgery. That might be impossible to find close to home. Do not get talked into transcutaneous lower blepaharoplasty. That will pull your eyelids down and make you regret the decision to have surgery.

The singer and actress took the opportunity to promote her new clothing line. She said, "I know what I like, and that's what it's all about. It's like, who's your fashion icon? Me. And no one but you knows what you feel most comfortable in. I look at each piece and think, 'Could I wear that as big Jennifer or could I wear that now?' I want to consider every girl."
Hudson also spoke candidly about the way she honors her newphew. "The Julian D. King Toy Drive and Christmas dinner is for kids who are doing well in school — just progressing, they don't necessarily have to have all A's or B's — and we grant whatever their Christmas wish is. With everything that happened with our family, it's hard to get through the holidays. So I was wondering, 'How can we turn a negative around make it a positive thing?' And so we came up with giving back."

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
The stickers on the pipes at Peace Pipe in Oakland Park say "For tobacco use only." You'll smile when you see them. While you're there, get some papers, a contraption that looks like a book but covertly stores herbal substances, a Jimi Hendrix T-shirt, clove cigarettes, or a nifty lighter that says "I stole this lighter." Then, for dessert, get a guaranteed detoxifying goop, in case someone remembers a reason they shouldn't be partaking in the party. If a certain someone remembers a certain test a certain parole officer might be administering soon, pick up a bowl of hookah tobacco. And if you burned one before you came (tobacco, that is — you know, always tobacco), you could splurge on a Pink Floyd poster, a lava lamp, and incense. And when you finally pick that new special friend from the wide assortment of glass pieces (don't forget a soft case for seven bucks), leave the tobacco sticker on for a while. You'll smile every time you see it.
When you need porn, you need it now. And we understand that. So forget that Something Sexy for Him & Her has a great selection of erotica — teen, bi, gay, lesbian, vintage VHS, and everything from midget gang-bangs to Japanese animation. Forget that the prices are affordable (check out their two-for-one sales), the place is well-lit, and the staff lets you peruse the porn in relative peace. Forget that they also sell kinky shoes, slinky outfits, hulking dildos, and other accessories to enhance your porn experience. (Speaking of experience, check out Something Sexy's instructional video selection: For ladies who'd rather give than receive, try the "Backdoor My Boyfriend" how-to, available on VHS and DVD.) Shouldn't the best adult video store be the one that's open when most others aren't — say, late Sunday night on an important Christian holiday in the latter part of March? That's Something Sexy. Sure, they've got 20-hour porn box sets, vibrators, and sexy outfits, but so does any other good porn shop. Something Sexy, though, is also there with the merch at odd hours, ready and willing on those late, lonely Sunday nights, when only a glistening movie-box blond can give you what you need.
Ethnic grocery stores typically offer an aesthetic worth soaking in even if you don't purchase a thing. When it comes to local Caribbean grocery stores, Bedessee East-West Indian Foods is the perfect example. They've got two aisles devoted to curries alone, and lots of foods found throughout the Caribbean. They also have a wide selection of chutneys, pepper sauces, and seasonings that you can't find in a typical supermarket, plus numerous Caribbean beers from Lion Stout to Carib, and plenty of island juices and sodas priced 50 cents to a dollar cheaper than other places around town. Items here are affordable; a family could tackle all of their grocery needs at Bedessee without a problem. What makes the market really stand out is the way the East-West Indian part of their name plays a role: You can get Bollywood films here and statues of Vishnu, plus full cricket sets. The place is half grocery store, half botanica; you can also purchase candles to ward off evil spirits, oils, and machetes. And they've got an African section with Nigerian yam flour, palm oil, fufu, sweet potatoes, and more. The produce section is respectable, with breadfruit, callaloo, plantains, and aloe among customer favorites. They've also got a meat section stocked with goat, oxtail, chicken, and dried fish. It's rare to find all these items in one place whether you're stateside or in the islands, which is why Bedessee is a Caribbean market worth exploring.
If you've always wanted to be a racecar driver but lacked, say, the kingly fortune required to build, fine-tune, and maintain a monster automobile, it's OK. Moroso Motorsports has made it easy for those of us whose last name is not Earnhardt or Petty to quench our need for speed. For just 20 beans, you can pull up in your trusty Hyundai and have your way with the quarter-mile drag strip. When the official motions to you, pull up at the starting line ("Do a burnout if you like," say Moroso staff), and look at the "Christmas tree," the signal that progresses from red to yellow to green. At green, hit the pedal. At the end of the strip, pull over to the timing booth to receive a little slip with specs like your top speed. It all seems to go by lickety-split, so just pull back into the queue do it all over again. Test & Tune goes down every Wednesday and Friday from 6 to 11 p.m.
When you walk into Florida Cigar Company, the first thing you'll notice is the immense collection of cigars from all over the world. It's one of the largest selections in Broward County. Finger through boxes with all the top names — Don Carlos, Dupont, CAO, Prometheus — and think of the generations of skill rolled into each of these magnificent smokes. Soon you'll find a few you can't leave without. Next, make your way to the bar, where you'll find a friendly 'tender with just the drink to match your cigar, from a stock of top-shelf libations. The crowd is eclectic but mellow here, and the plasmas are always tuned to sports. Ease into a plush leather seat and light that baby up. The stresses of life seem to slip away with each creamy pull, expelled in thick puffs of the good life.
What do you look for in a comic book shop? A good selection of new books as well as an extensive catalogue of back issues, for one. But what else? Good prices don't hurt, especially if you're looking to round out that collection of Wolverine originals. You'd also want a knowledgeable staff — guys and gals who live the life, who can tell you about the latest issue of Jack of Fables or why you need to get some Y: The Last Man up in that mug. And since you're into comics, you probably want a place to game, too — a joint that will not only let you throw down on some Hordes or Warhammer 40K table-top action, but whose employees will bust out their pieces and play alongside you. Basically you've just described your ideal comic shop: War & Pieces. It's the kind of place where you'll not only get a huge selection of monthly issues and graphic novels, but they'll actually let you make a list of favorites, then bag and board them and hold them aside in your own personal box till you pick them up. For that service they'll charge you nothing, and reward you with a 10 percent discount on all comics in the store to boot, provided you pick up at least five copies a month. Now that's customer service. Add to that an extensive list of nightly gaming sessions, artists workshops, and miniatures leagues all taking place inside the hand-painted gaming dungeon, and you've got the ultimate comic destination.

Content Networking
Cisco® Content Networking delivers the network agility required by an enterprise to deploy new Internet business applications critical to securing a competitive advantage by increasing revenue while reducing operating costs. By creating the end-to-end intelligent network services required for Internet business applications such as e-commerce, supply chain management, and workforce optimization, Cisco Content Networking integrates the enterprise with customers, suppliers, and business partners. Cisco Content Networking is an intelligent network architecture that dynamically recognizes Internet business applications and engages network services to achieve end-to-end security, performance, and availability. This architecture has the following three components:
•Intelligent network classification and network services delivered through Cisco IOS® software
•Intelligent network devices that integrate Internet business applications with network services
•Intelligent policy management framework for configuration, monitoring, and accounting
With these three components, the dynamic architecture of Cisco Content Networking delivers the intelligent network services required to drive the next-generation Internet business model.
Why Scalability Matters
Agile enterprises are deploying a dizzying array of new applications that support a wide variety of business processes, including workforce optimization, supply chain management, e-learning, e-commerce, and customer care. These applications are being deployed across large enterprises with hundreds and even thousands of sites. To be successful, the network services must scale with this growth.
The network, an integral component of any e-business deployment, must provide both basic connectivity between the users and servers, and a wide variety of services. With Cisco Content Networking, the network can recognize the content of data on the network and apply the appropriate service, such as QoS, security, load balancing, or caching.
Growth of new e-business applications and the increasing use of intranets and extranets drive the demand for an increase in available wide-area network (WAN) bandwidth. The enterprise WAN must better use existing WAN resources and cost-effectively scale available WAN bandwidth. The integration of mission-critical applications with numerous other applications across a common WAN also requires multiple user or application service levels. This ensures that each application gets the right mix of throughput and delay over finite WAN resources. In addition, most enterprise WANs mix multiple interconnect strategies such as ATM, Frame Relay, IP access, virtual private networks (VPN) and dedicated leased lines to take advantage of cost, services rendered, and performance gains in WAN technology.
For example, in an e-learning video-on-demand application, the video feed must be delivered within certain bounds to ensure a high-quality picture. The Cisco network is able to recognize the video feed and provide minimum guaranteed bandwidth to the feed using the QoS and multicast features inherent in Cisco IOS software. Imagine this scenario being played out across thousands of sites in a large enterprise. The central-site router located near the video server must be able to recognize the video stream and apply QoS services for each end user. In addition, some users may be located across a high-speed leased line, others over Frame Relay, and others over a dialup remote access VPN. This can place a huge load on the router, and the load will only get higher as other new e-business applications are introduced.
Traditionally one would have solved this problem by segmenting the load and installing multiple routers at the central site. Each router would carry a portion of the load as determined by the network administrator at the time the router was installed. This system will work fine in many instances, however it requires redundant networking equipment at additional capital cost; is harder to manage, increasing management cost; and requires increased space to house the equipment.
Introduction to the Cisco 7500 Series
The Cisco 7500 Series provides a superior solution to the problem of scaling the services necessary to support the growth in e-business applications. It is unique in its support of a wide range of services, with the required high port density necessary for a scalable enterprise WAN. The multiprotocol/multiple-media network capabilities of the Cisco 7500 Series enable integration of multiple WAN technologies and provide the necessary bandwidth and service requirements unique to each remote site. The Cisco 7500 Series integrates the richest set of Layer 3 services available including QoS, security, encryption, and traffic management. Advanced multichannel technology provides for a scalable and cost-effective WAN solution where high-density, leased-line services are required.
The Cisco 7500 Series distributes services across multiple VIPs to provide the scalability necessary in today's fast-paced Internet environment. The VIP is based on a RISC engine optimized for input/output (I/O) functions. One or two port adapters or daughter boards are attached to this engine. These port adapters provide the media-specific interfaces to the network.
A distributed architecture ensures high packet throughput as network speeds and route complexities increase by moving the packet-forwarding decisions from the central routing engine out to the network line cards. VIPs provide this service by offloading all packet-forwarding decisions from the central processor. This scenario allows a Cisco 7513, for example, to have 11 packet-forwarding engines, ensuring router performance in high-bandwidth applications. This is illustrated in Figure 1, which shows the Cisco 7500 Series router connecting multiple remote sites over a diverse set of WAN technologies.
Figure 1
Building a Scalable Network Using the Cisco 7500 Series Router
Cisco IOS software services are distributed to each VIP in a Cisco 7500 Series router. This enables the deployment of large-scale e-business applications by spreading the service load across multiple independent processors. As enterprise networks migrate to supporting mixed packet, video and voice services with mission-critical applications, it becomes necessary to maximize the use of network resources through advanced services. The Cisco 7500 Series utilizes many technologies to accelerate data movement in VIPs and to scale the application of network services. The Cisco 7500 Series takes advantage of the distributed Cisco IOS features within each VIP to accelerate a variety of network services such as QoS, security, data compression, and accounting.
For example, each VIP can intelligently classify traffic flows at T3 rates (90 Mbps). Using two VIPs increases this capability to two T3s, three VIPs, to three T3s, and so on. Each additional VIP linearly increases the router's ability to provide services without adversely affecting the other VIPs already running in the system. This is illustrated in Figure 2.
Figure 2
Scaling Services with Additional VIPs
The ability to remove the main route processor from all forwarding and services activity, even in the presence of extensive network topology changes, frees more of the processor's resources for route-management (control) tasks. Even a distributed architecture can experience a significant performance loss without a complete separation of all data-handling activities from the control plane. The Cisco 7500 Series provides high performance of the distributed architecture through new software technologies, which scale both the control and forwarding processes in the router. For example, Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) proactively updates routing information within VIPs to ensure that all packet forwarding is localized to the interface card.
Distributed Services
The Cisco 7500 Series provides a wide variety of services that can be distributed across multiple VIP processing engines. Table 1 provides a summary of the distributed services.
In the following section, we give some examples of how these services can be used to provide a complete solution for various e-business applications.
Connectivity Services
When building an intranet or extranet, connectivity is a fundamental requirement upon which all the other services are built. The Cisco 7500 Series router provides high packet-forwarding performance by distributing the switching operation to the VIP. Distributed CEF ensures that the VIP is always able to provide the maximum packet throughput.
CEF is a non-cache-based switching mode for IP packets. Historically, all switching modes (except process switching) on Cisco routers have been cache-based. In cache-based switching, the first packet of a flow is sent up to process level, where its destination address is compared with the routing table to obtain forwarding information. Then a route cache entry with the corresponding forwarding information is built so those subsequent packets of the same flow can be fast-switched based on the route cache.
This cache-based scheme is more than adequate for most networks. However, the high traffic volume and dynamic traffic mix found in today's Internet backbone can sometimes reach the size limit of a route cache. In this situation, the router spends more CPU cycles than desired in flushing and rebuilding route cache entries.
With CEF, instead of building route cache entries on demand, a forwarding information base (FIB) is built. The FIB is based on the entire routing table, and then is downloaded to all the VIPs for distributed switching. Both the RSP and the VIPs use the same FIB, as CEF runs in both places. The FIB is updated only when the routing tables change, thus completely eliminating the per-flow overhead of route-cache maintenance. In addition, there is no issue of cache flushing and rebuilding, so performance is not affected by traffic mix.
This is illustrated in Figure 3 where the switching decisions are handled locally by the VIP whenever possible.
Figure 3
Distributed CEF Switching
When you rely on the network as a mission-critical resource, monitoring the amount and type of traffic is imperative. NetFlow is an ideal solution to this need, providing customized summaries of traffic statistics that are invaluable to network management, planning, and growth. NetFlow analyzes traffic flows, where a flow is defined by such variables as IP address, protocol type, and autonomous system (AS) number. It provides a highly granular analysis, including flow duration, packet size, and many other elements.
For large-scale networks where the core has a heavy traffic load, it is more appropriate to run NetFlow on the edge of the network so that core routers do not have to spend CPU cycles exporting lots of NetFlow data. By distributing this service on each VIP, the Cisco 7500 Series router is able to easily provide NetFlow accounting data for even the largest networks.
QoS is a fundamental service required for next-generation networks. As enterprises shift mission-critical applications to the network and create a unified multi-service architecture for voice, video, and data, the ability to manage delivery terms becomes increasingly critical. Enterprises need QoS to deploy on-demand bandwidth-intensive applications such as videoconferencing, as well as time-sensitive information-delivery applications such as stock transactions. QoS reduces WAN costs through more efficient use of network links. With QoS in place, network administrators worry less about healthy levels of oversubscription and concern themselves instead with managing the traffic mix to ensure that time-sensitive and mission-critical traffic is not delayed. QoS allows organizations to converge their voice, video, and data traffic by ensuring that each traffic type receives the network characteristics it requires. For example, voice requires relatively little bandwidth but low latency. File transfer applications, on the other hand, require high bandwidth, but have few latency requirements.
The Cisco 7500 Series has a rich set of Layer 3 QoS services that are distributed to the VIP. These enable the deployment of large-scale multiservice networks while ensuring that each traffic type receives the network characteristics it requires.
Using distributed access control lists and distributed NBAR, the router can intelligently recognize the type of data passing through the network. NBAR is a new classification engine that can recognize a wide variety of applications, including Web-based applications and client/server applications that dynamically assign TCP or UDP port numbers. Once the application is recognized, the network can invoke specific QoS services for that particular application.
The QoS services on the VIP include:
•Guaranteed bandwidth with class-based weighted fair queuing (CBWFQ). This is a mechanism to provide guaranteed bandwidth to particular traffic classes, such as voice or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications, while still fairly serving all other traffic in the network. The bandwidth assigned to a class is the minimum bandwidth delivered to the class during congestion.
•Marking for differentiated service downstream using the type of service (ToS) bits or Diff Serv code points (DSCP). Packet marking is usually done at the edges of the network so the proper policies may be applied later in the routing path. The older ToS byte markings provide three bits in the IP header, of which six combinations are usable. The newer DSCP mechanism utilizes 6 bits in the IP header, providing 64 separate markings. The bits used by both mechanisms overlap, so it's best to utilize either ToS or DSCP values in the network, but not both.
•Enforce bandwidth limits via policing or shaping. The policing and shaping feature allows one to limit the bandwidth available to a particular application. For example, one can limit FTP traffic to at most one Mbps on a DS3 WAN link. Any traffic over the policed rate will be dropped or the ToS or DSCP values may be changed to a lower class of service. The difference between policing and shaping is that policing simply drops excess traffic while shaping buffers excess packets and plays them out at the specified rate. Also, traffic shaping can respond to congestion information provided by a Frame Relay network. The shaping function is called distributed traffic shaping (dTS) while the policing function is known as distributed committed access rate (dCAR).
•Congestion avoidance policy (distributed weighted random early detection [dWRED]). Congestion avoidance techniques monitor network traffic loads in an effort to anticipate and avoid congestion at common network bottlenecks. Without random early detection, when the output queue is full packets are dropped until the congestion is eliminated. Unfortunately, global traffic synchronization may occur as waves of congestion crest only to be followed by troughs during which the transmission link is not fully utilized. This occurs when multiple TCP hosts simultaneously reduce their transmission rates in response to packet dropping, and then increase their transmission rates once again when the congestion is reduced. RED takes advantage of TCP's congestion control mechanism by randomly dropping packets before the link is completely congested. This avoids the problem of dropping packets from all the hosts at one time while still signaling that they should temporarily slow down their transmission of packets. Weighted RED drops packets from lower priority flows first, ensuring that high priority flows do not get stuck behind congestion caused by less important data.
For example, in provisioning an e-business application, configure the router to classify traffic and then apply a set of these services to each traffic type. For example, your sales representatives require a fast response when they query for an order status in the corporate data warehouse hosted on an Oracle database server. Unfortunately, if others on the network are using high bandwidth applications, such as VDOLive or viewing large GIF files, then the SQL*NET transaction to the Oracle database may be delayed. NBAR and the distributed QoS services address this problem by properly classifying the applications and then providing guaranteed bandwidth to the SQL*NET queries while simultaneously policing the other applications. Figure 4 illustrates this solution.
Figure 4
Providing a Distributed QoS Solution
The power of the distributed architecture becomes apparent when you consider how this solution would be deployed to hundreds of sales offices connected over leased lines. With a Cisco 7513 router, one can deploy two multichannel T3 port adapters in each VIP. Each of these cards can support a mix of T1 and DS0 connections for 512 connections per VIP. This scenario can be replicated across each VIP installed in the router. When packets traverse the router, all of the QoS classification and services are handled at the local VIP. This enables up to 11 processors to be simultaneously servicing traffic, thus providing a highly scalable solution.
Bandwidth intensive multi-point applications can be deployed today using the Cisco end-to-end IP multicast solutions in a scalable and efficient manner. With multicast distributed switching (MDS), multicast traffic that was switched at the Route Switch Processor (RSP) can now be distributed switched on the VIP. Switching multicast traffic at the RSP has disadvantages:
•The load on the RSP increased. This affected important route updates and calculations (for Border Gateway Protocol [BGP], among others) and could stall the router if the multicast load is significant.
•The net multicast performance is limited to what a single RSP can switch.
MDS solves these problems by performing distributed switching of multicast packets received at the VIP. MDS is accomplished by using a forwarding data structure called a multicast forwarding information base (MFIB), which is a subset of the routing table. A copy of MFIB runs on each line card and is always kept up to date with the central RSP's MFIB table.
Using Distributed Services to Deploy E-Business Solutions
One final example will help illustrate the strengths of the Cisco 7500 Series.
The Widget Company, a hypothetical example, has 400 remote sites of various sizes, from the home offices of sales reps up to large regional offices with hundreds of employees. The offices are scattered around the world, making it imperative that the Widget Company be able to deploy a diverse set of network technologies to cost-effectively connect all of their sites. The Cisco 7500 Series router provides a complete solution to their WAN aggregation needs.
Using multichannel port adapters combined with the high-speed distributed switching capabilities of the Cisco 7500 Series, the larger remote sites can be connected over T1 lines aggregated into a T3 connection at the central site. Smaller regional offices can be connected over a Frame Relay network. International sites can be connected using a site-to-site VPN that leverages the ubiquity, flexibility, and low cost of the Internet.
On top of the physical configuration, the Widget Company can layer a rich set of services, including:
•Security, to encrypt the site-to-site VPN traffic and to protect the corporate site with the built-in Cisco Secure Integrated Software with firewalling capabilities.
•Quality of service, to protect mission-critical applications across the slower Frame Relay and VPN links while simultaneously allowing voice, video, and data to run across a common IP network.
•Multicast, to allow e-learning through video-on-demand services
The beauty of the Cisco 7500 Series is that the Widget Company's network can be built and run with the rich level of services it demands without sacrificing any performance. The distributed architecture allows the network manager to increase processing capability quickly and easily by adding additional VIP cards.
The Cisco 7500 Series enables the network to support today's large-scale e-business applications. With the industry-leading combination of network services, interface density and packet-forwarding performance, it is the optimum choice for a large-scale WAN services router.

Published: September 10, 2012 at 6:32 PMThis seems like a really cool ride! But what happened to the fix this theme park series? You have kind of let that just end without going anywhere...
Published: September 10, 2012 at 7:06 PMVery neat attraction with a considerably ambitious scope. It's easy to overlook all the interesting experiences at theme parks overseas.
Published: September 10, 2012 at 7:24 PMI'm glad to see Efteling featured on this site. I'm a long time theme park insider fan but have been put out by the extra love given to Disney attractions. Over the past few years I've experienced several theme parks that seem to surpass Disney if not in quality than in theming (WWoHP being a standout at Universal). I actually visited Efteling this past fall and can safely say that it is one of the best themed parks (and most beautifully laid out overall) parks I have ever been to. Everything and I mean everything in that park is themed (the ATM machines are 10 ft tall treasure chests!). I hope that Robert will be able to visit this park in the near future, true the language barrier does take a bit away from the attractions and some of the older attractions have become a bit dated but there is no denying the quality and design that has gone into the park.
Published: September 10, 2012 at 7:51 PMOk, glad it's coming back! And extra research typically means better, so I'm really looking forward to it.
Published: September 12, 2012 at 10:38 AMThis ride reminds me of the Sinbad ride at DisneySea. I found it weird that there wasn't even anybody in line for the ride. PS: I really appreciate your tributes to underrated attractions.

Lawmakers want death penalty for attackers
December 19, 2012
The brutal gang rape of a 23-year-old student on a bus in New Delhi on Sunday has sparked outrage across the country, with Indian parliamentarians demanding the death penalty for those responsible.
The unusual outpouring of anger also prompted calls for greater protection for women in a country where crimes against women are treated with apathy and rarely prosecuted, activists say.
The girl was attacked on Sunday evening after she and a male friend boarded a bus with tinted windows in south Delhi.
Seven men on the bus allegedly attacked the pair with iron bars, raped the girl then threw them off the vehicle which had passed through several police checkpoints.
The girl is currently fighting for her life in hospital. Police have since arrested four people, including the bus driver.
The savagery of Sunday's alleged rape sparked uproar in parliament yesterday with women members sobbing amid demands for the death penalty to be imposed for those found guilty of the crime.
Rape in India carries a maximum punishment of 10 years in prison.
In the Lower House, the leader of the opposition, Sushma Swaraj said "those convicted in such cases should be hanged."
Other members of the House voiced their agreement.
Similar sentiments were echoed in the Upper House when Samajwadi (Socialist) Party member, Jaya Bachchan, demanded that rape be treated on a par with murder.
Federal Home Minister, Sushil Kumar Shinde, assured lawmakers the case would be pursued vigorously
He said he would monitor police investigations and "if there were any lapses, strict action would be taken."
Lawmakers, activists and protesters have all accused the police of not doing enough to protect women and that the rape highlighted just how vulnerable young women in the national capital and across India are.
Official sources say as many as 572 rape cases were reported in Delhi last year, while over 600 cases have been registered by police so far this year.
"This is not a solitary case...women are not safe in Delhi. An infant or even a six-year-old girl is not safe here," said lawmaker Maya Singh.
"All these rapists are arrested, but then released. They come out and rape again. Police are not trained to deal with rape cases," she said.
Elsewhere in the capital, students set up road blocks across the city to demand a government crackdown on crimes against women.
