The Central Connecticut women's swimming and diving team lost 184-116 in a dual-meet against Vermont on Saturday at the Forbush Natatorium in Burlington, VT. The Blue Devils claimed a victory in five out of 16 events on the day.
Junior Kasey Chilton swam a 10:23.75 in the 1,000 yard freestyle event for a the first win of the day by the Blue Devils. She finished over three seconds faster than second-place Vermont and was followed by seniors Lauren O'Kelly and Lauren Shortell who finished in 10:41.46 (third) and 10:50.20 (fifth), respectively.
Senior Allison Rasile earned a first-place spot in the 200 yard freestyle, completing the event in 1:53.56. Rasile also took second in the 200 yard backstroke, finishing in 2:07.20. She swam the first leg of the 400 yard freestyle relay on a team that included classmate Taylor Friedmann and juniors Erin Massey and Helene Neuhaus. They earned second place and finished the race in 3:35.14.
Senior Katie Lang also turned in an impressive performance for the Blue Devils, finishing in the top two in each of her four events. She earned the top spot in the 200 yard breaststroke with a time of 2:29.45 and second in the 100 yard breaststroke (1:08.81), the 200 yard IM (2:11.70) and in the 200 yard medley relay event (1:51.90). Joining Lang on the relay team was senior Hannah Packer, along with junior Kellen Power and Friedmann.
In addition to her two second-place relay appearances, Friedmann won the 500 yard freestyle event with a time of 5:00.44, a full seven seconds faster than her nearest opponent. She also claimed another second spot in the 200 yard butterfly, completing the event in 2:10.15.
Another Central victory came from Neuhaus in the 100 yard backstroke. She finished the event in 58.80 and was followed by Packer in fourth (1:01.63) and sophomore Kaylin Sylvester in sixth (1:06.33). Neuhaus also earned a second-place finish in 100 yard freestyle with a time of 53.23.
Other key swimming performances for the Blue Devils came in the 50 yard freestyle with Neuhaus placing third (24.94), the 100 yard backstroke with freshman Alaina Papiro placing fourth (1:10.90), the 200 yard butterfly with freshman Selene Chilton finishing third (2:12.97), the 200 yard IM with O'Kelly placing fourth (2:16.44) and the 200 yard freestyle with Massey placing fourth (1:59.37). Massey also placed fourth in the 100 yard freestyle, finishing in 55.50.
On the diving board, Central sophomore Kaitlyn Dwyer took fourth in the one-meter with a 188.10. She was followed by freshman Jessica Goldman who earned a 187.65, good for fifth place. From the 3-meter board, Dwyer earned a 200.00 for third place and Goldman nabbed fourth with a 189.92.

中国庆祝游泳首金和世界纪录 China celebrates first swimming golds and a world record
China celebrates first swimming golds and a world record.
China had cause for a double celebration on Saturday after winning their first ever swimming gold medal as well as setting a new world record in the women's 400m medley.
Sun Yang sealed a place in China's Olympic history with an impressive swim in the 400m freestyle final that was only 0.07 seconds off the world record to take gold.
Defending Olympic champion Park Ta-Hwan was leading at the final turn, but the 20-year-old Sun surged past his South Korean rival in the final length to seal a place in Chinese Olympic history.
"The feeling is very nice, it's beautiful. It's a big dream come true for me," said Sun.
"Because it's the Olympic Games, I felt a little bit nervous at the start, and then at the end, I felt that I could get a medal."
Twenty minutes after Yang won China's maiden gold medal, 16-year-old Ye Shiwen triumphed in the women's 400m medley, as well as breaking the world record set in Beijing four years ago.
Ye rounded off a sparkling day in the pool for China as she claimed the title with a breathtaking final lap of 28.93 seconds.
"I thought at the 200 meters that the race was lost, but then I realized I was in the top two or three and I was confident I could win on the last leg," said Ye.
"I dreamed of winning the gold medal, but I never ever expected to break a world record, I'm overwhelmed."

How to manage issues and crises is one of today's major business challenges. An international study showed that 80% of organizations which suffer a major disaster without a proven crisis management system in place go out of business within two years. And a study of high profile Australian corporate crises showed that 25% of the organizations involved didn't survive the event.
At the same time, statistical research shows that organizations with effective issue and crisis management systems in place suffer less financial loss in the event of a crisis, and recover more quickly.
Most organizations now recognise that proactively managing adverse issues is a major step towards preventing crises. But effective issue and crisis management requires proven systems and processes.
Issue Outcomes was established in 1997 to help organizations get effective issue and crisis management programmes in place. We work with you to:

Alright, this is a very simple request. I am a third year college/university student studying Multimedia Tech. and Design and as my final project I am creating a few 3D modelled scenes. It's a very simple premise. However, I would like to start the project off by having some concept art, to use as a reference whilst creating my pieces. This is how it is done in the video games industry, so it's how I will prefer to do my work, by having a third-party create the concept art. Now, there are three different styles I am aiming to hit. They are: -Realism -Fantasy -Futuristic I can give more details on each of these if/when needed. You will retain ownership and complete control of these images, they are, of course, yours. So use them in your resume and mention you helped somebody out with their final project, because it is a big deal! Also, you will be credited every step of the way, so when I am showing my work to game developers, I will also show them yours. They may wish to contact you with concept art vacancies, if your work is good!

The epic poem or story is a common way for a civilization to tell stories about how it was founded and the central moral and political values which underpin its society. Epic stories are related to the problem of liberty because many of these foundation stories deal with issues such as the nature of legitimate authority, the problem of rebellion, and external threats to the stability of the community.

New law makes medical errors public
New law: State's hospitals required to disclose medical mistakes
Everyone makes mistakes.
But when the mistake in question is a medical error that causes someone harm or even death, "we need to make sure that it never happens again," Gov. M. Jodi Rell said Wednesday after signing a landmark patients' protection bill.
To that end, Rell appeared at St. Vincent's Medical Center in Bridgeport on Wednesday to sign a bill that would require hospitals and outpatient surgical facilities to report medical errors and infection rates to the public. The bill, titled "An Act Concerning Adverse Events at Hospitals and Outpatient Surgical Facilities," goes into effect Thursday.
In addition to expanding disclosure about medical mistakes, the bill adds protection for whistle-blowers who report medical errors, and requires mandatory mediation for all civil lawsuits that allege negligence in cases of personal injury or death. The legislation was crafted in response to a sweeping nationwide investigation of fatal, but preventable, hospital errors prepared by journalists at Hearst Connecticut Newspapers and other Hearst newspapers.
The investigation found widespread, preventable medical errors and the failure of medical professionals and government to provide oversight. Last year's series, "Dead by Mistake," revealed that since 2004, when the state adopted national oversight guidelines, Connecticut hospitals had 1,056 adverse events, an average of about 240 a year. During that time, there have been 107 deaths documented as resulting from adverse events.
Rell said the public has a right to know when medical errors occur. "It's about transparency," Rell said of the new law. "It's about scrutiny and it's about accountability."
She added, "Anyone who's undergone a medical procedure, or watched as a loved one had surgery or another serious medical intervention, can tell you that there's no such thing as a `routine procedure,' " Rell said. "When something goes wrong, it's devastating."
She said the hope is that being more open about errors will encourage education within hospitals and other medical institutions and help prevent further mistakes.
"This is about talking to your staff and learning from any mistakes that might have happened," Rell said.
Those in attendance at the event included several hospital officials and representatives of the state Department of Public Health and Connecticut Hospital Association. St. Vincent's President and Chief Executive Officer Susan Davis introduced the governor, and applauded the new law as an important step in encouraging medical staff to "speak up for safety."
She said, "It makes Connecticut one of the few states in the country that recognizes the importance of the consumer in care."
In addition to her role at the hospital, Davis is chairwoman of the CHA's committee on patient care quality, which was involved in shaping some of the language of the legislation. Like the governor, Davis said the new law represents an "opportunity to emphasize transparency."
Other provisions in the bill include one requiring the state Department of Public Health to submit an annual report to the Legislature on adverse events. The report would include aggregate information about medical errors on each hospital. Under the new law, the DPH must also give patients access to information if they have filed complaints of negligence, incompetence, fraud or deceit against health care providers. The department is also required to keep patients informed of the status of their complaints.
State Public Health Commissioner J. Robert Galvin said medical errors are often compared to aviation errors, a comparison he doesn't accept.
"When a pilot, navigator or someone else working on a plane makes a fatal error," Galvin pointed out, "he or she will suffer the same fate as the passengers put at risk by the mistake. When a doctor makes a mistake, he or she isn't subjected to the same possible physical harm as the patient in his or her care. That's an important distinction," Galvin said.
Like Rell, he emphasized the role the new law could play in preventing doctors from unwittingly harming their patients. "We can't fix these (problems) unless we know about them," he said.

'Top Chef Masters' contestant Douglas Keane dishes on new season
A new season of "Top Chef Masters" hits the airwaves on July 24 with its usual array of top-ranked chef-testants and ridiculous challenges -- including a season opener involving parachutes. But this season also includes a devilish twist: A sous chef battle on the sidelines that wreaks weekly havoc on the main stage.
The Bay Area has always been well-represented on "Top Chef" and its various spinoffs -- San Francisco's Chris Cosentino won the last Masters round -- so local hopes are high for Douglas Keane, the chef and co-owner of the Michelin-starred Cyrus, the Healdsburg restaurant that closed last fall.
Keane and a dozen other chef competitors will be vying for more than mere bragging rights. The prize cash goes to charity. Keane, who was the executive chef at Traci des Jardin's Jardiniere before opening Cyrus in 2005, is competing for the Green Dog Rescue Project, for example. New Orleans chef Sue Zemanick hopes to raise funds for the Gulf Restoration Project, and Bryan Voltaggio -- who competed against his brother, "Top Chef" winner Michael Voltaggio, in season six -- is competing on behalf of Share Our Strength.
Naturally, we had questions -- and Keane was happy to chat about quickfires, misfires and a certain chef's phobias.
Q: Tell us about life after Cyrus.
KEANE: I shed a few tears, but the saying, "One door closes, a thousand opens," is so true. As sad as it was, it was the best outcome for everyone on both sides. Sometimes you need a divorce. There probably will be a 2.0 in another year or so in Sonoma. We've got the Healdsburg Bar & Grill and I might do at least one casual thing. But I took a lot of time off to be with my wife and the dog rescue -- and I learned a lot about myself.
Q: How did you get involved with the Green Dog Rescue Project?
KEANE: Two and a half years ago, I decided I wanted to have a dog rescue (shelter). I got certified in animal behavior, and did the internship and volunteer part while I was doing Cyrus full-time and going through a lawsuit. I go for harder cases, dogs that are deemed aggressive or have a problem. These are amazing creatures -- and (Green Dog) is my happy place.
Q: What was the appeal of competing in "Top Chef Masters"?
KEANE: (Laughs) I'm still trying to figure it out. I had always wanted to dip my toes in, but I was always afraid -- afraid of my ego and status and what would happen. And the other thing was the time. I was in my restaurant kitchen 12 or 13 hours a day. To walk away for even a week or two, let alone a month, was daunting. The perfect storm came up: We were closing Cyrus and they asked again. My wife said, "Get over yourself and do it. Do it for the dogs."
Q: How was the experience?
KEANE: I didn't know what to expect, but whenever you get together with chefs you have fun. The group we ended up having was pretty incredible. It was like chef summer camp. It was brutal at times, but it was really cool.
Q: Traci des Jardin has done the show too. Did she have any advice for you?
KEANE: She was great. She told me, "Don't forget to season your food. Things get so chaotic and that's what you do at the last second, so don't forget." It was great advice.
Q: Did you do anything to prepare beforehand? Test your quickfire prowess or practice throwing your hands in the air when someone shouts, "Knives down"?
KEANE: The Kendall Jackson Tomato Festival always has me and do an "Iron Chef"/"Top Chef" type of thing. My wife gets so nervous, because I don't pay attention to the clock. Cooking is an organic, relaxed thing. You're like "Oh, whatever." My wife was like, "No! You need to watch the clock. They're going to not let you plate."
But I had no time to practice because I had a miscommunication with the Elves -- (Magical Elves produces the show) -- about the timing. I was asking if they still had some dates open. It was Wednesday and they were like, "No, it's THIS Saturday. Can you make it?"
Q: You went on this culinary adventure with your Cyrus sous chef, Drew Glassell. How did he feel about being volunteered?
KEANE: I knew something was coming. (Laughs) Oh, we get to bring our sous chefs? It was too easy. He was supportive, like OK, not "rah! rah!" But when he found out we weren't actually (cooking) together, he was (ticked off).
Q: You haven't seen any of the episodes yet, have you? Do you think you got the "villain edit"?
KEANE: I think I got the Chicken Little edit -- and I completely deserved it. I took so much abuse over that (first episode) from my co-chefs. I started to figure something was weird when people started jumping out of an airplane. Then the panic started setting in. There's no worse fear in my life than heights. Poisonous snakes are up there, but I'd rather run around in a pit of poisonous snakes than jump out of an airplane. I thought, I'm going home. Literally. Oh. My. God.
Q: Knowing what you know now, would you ever do "Top Chef" again?
KEANE: You'd have to ask my wife. (Laughs) It depends how much money they're throwing at my charity. I'm not proud. I can be bought.
Top Chef Masters
On TV: Hosted by Curtis Stone, the new season of "Top Chef Masters" airs on Bravo at 10 p.m. on Wednesdays, starting July 24.
On the web: This season, a "Battle of the Sous Chefs" will unfold each week at www.bravotv.com/top-chef-masters. The sous chefs' victories and losses directly impact their bosses, limiting or bestowing ingredients, tools and time in the most devious -- and entertaining -- ways.

BEIJING - US first lady Michelle Obama met her Chinese counterpart on Friday, a long-anticipated encounter during a week-long trip to promote education and cultural ties.
Obama, who is visiting China with her mother and two daughters, is expected to forgo discussion of trade, human rights and the tangle of other issues that have weighed on US-China relations. Instead, she plans to focus on building goodwill through soft diplomacy.
The trip to China comes days before US President Barack Obama is scheduled to begin bilateral talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the Hague on the sidelines of the Nuclear Security Summit next week.
Chinese first lady Peng Liyuan accompanied the visitors on a visit to the Beijing Normal School attended by elite Chinese students and American teenagers from prestigious schools such as Exeter, Andover and Sidwell Friends on study abroad programmes.
Obama, a Harvard-educated lawyer, wore wide-legged black slacks and a loose black vest.
Conversation between the two women was stilted during a morning visit to a calligraphy class, especially because both spoke via their own translators. "I'm nervous," Obama said, as she picked up her calligraphy brush. "Don't be nervous," Peng replied in English.
Peng, an adept calligrapher, then drew the four characters of an ancient aphorism about virtue and presented it to Obama.
The two also visited a robotics class, and Obama played ping-pong with students.
The two seemed to warm to each other during a jaunt through the Forbidden City late on Friday morning. Peng took care to ensure that Obama's daughters understood the history of buildings with names like "Hall of Supreme Harmony" and "Palace of Heavenly Purity", a senior US administration official said.
Peng, dressed immaculately in a cornflower-blue skirt suit, with a red leather clutch and matching stud earrings, appeared to speak limited English, but gamely ventured a few comments to foreign students and the Obama family.
But the classroom lectures as well as the tour of the Forbidden City were conducted only in Chinese.
Obama's week-long trip includes visits to the western historic city of Xi'an and the southern city of Chengdu, where she will visit a panda preserve. She will visit the Great Wall on Sunday, and also plans to meet Chinese education experts.
She expects to raise the issue of internet freedom - controversial in China - in a talk at a prominent Beijing university on Saturday, the US administration official said.
Former US first lady Hillary Clinton criticised China's human rights record during her husband's presidency.
Peng, a glamorous soprano who, a decade ago, was far more famous than her husband, has often shared Xi's spotlight since he became president - in sharp contrast to many of China's low-key former first ladies.
Peng, who holds a civilian rank equivalent to major general in the People's Liberation Army, has accompanied Xi on several foreign trips, and won praise as an outspoken advocate for HIV/AIDS education, long a taboo subject in China.
She has broken the mould of Chinese first ladies in past decades, who have stood in the shadow of Jiang Qing, the infamous widow of Mao Zedong, the founder of Communist China.
Jiang led the "Gang of Four" that wielded supreme power during the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution, and received a suspended death sentence in 1981 for causing the deaths of tens of thousands in that era of mayhem.
Many in China hoped to see Peng interact with Michelle Obama during an informal summit between the two presidents in California last June. But Mrs. Obama's decision to remain in Washington with her daughters dashed those hopes.

Some people believe that it requires some leap of faith to disbelieve god's existence. This is absolutely idiotic. Atheism is a lack of a belief in god. If you are religious, ask yourself: "Why do I believe in god?" Whether or not you claim to have evidence for your faith, the correct answer is because someone taught you about god. You did not know what god was until someone told you. Either you were taught, or you invented your own version of god, deluded yourself, and poisoned other minds with your falsehoods.
One cannot make the argument that atheism requires a leap of faith. Nonbelief is not an active conscious process. One would not continue throughout their day repeating "I don't believe. I don't believe. I don't believe." Justification of disbelief is a different process entirely. Rejecting belief is an active conscious process but maintaining disbelief is not because there is nothing to maintain. Belief is always an active conscious process. Belief requires constant reaffirmation e.g. "I believe because of this, that, and the other." Disbelief does not require this. Faith can only exist in the presence of a conscious appeal to the mind. If the conscious appeal is gone (or never existed in the first place) then one cannot believe. Arguing for the case of the opposite simply does not make sense. There is no conscious appeal to disbelief. The truth is, god is a concept invented by man.

Daniel, I didn't know you were with me from about 1958 until several years ago, knowing better than I what was happening. How did you do it?
Or are you finding it easier to change dogmas than to give up the need for a dogma?
Daniel, your "I know that he is possible, I feel that he is impossible" reminds me of the words of a man I knew who was nearing a Ph D. in psychology.
He said After the words "I feel", the word "that" precedes a thought, not a feeling.
No one has asked me to complete the sentence "I know that he is impossible, I feel...."
If someone does ask, I might say, "I feel safe in denying her/his/its existence."
Why would any one think there is a fence? A major precept of religious dogmas is the misconception of absolute opposites. The opposite of black is white. Why is black the opposite of white? Why not green or some shade of gray? Absolute opposites are a logical fallacy because they are often assigned arbitrarily.
If you accept logical opposites, then the "us vs them" slogans and arguments reinforce this concept. "You're either with us or against us". "If you are not part of the solution, you're part of the problem", and so on. If the opposite of a cop is a criminal, then every law abiding citizen who is not a cop must be a criminal.
Logically speaking, the opposite of black is not black,
In his book "Stranger in a Strange Land", Robert Heinlein posited the idea of the "Fair Witness", a person trained to only report that which they witness, while making no assumptions. When asked "What color is that wall?", the Fair Witness may answer:"The side I see appears to be painted white."
There is no fence to straddle. Instead there is a broad plain separating small walled cities whose denizens believe only what they are allowed to see within their walls..
"Daniel, I didn't know you were with me from about 1958 until several years ago, knowing better than I what was happening. How did you do it?
Or are you finding it easier to change dogmas than to give up the need for a dogma?"
I don't mean to imply so strongly that I know your inner thoughts (especially those that came before I was even born!). I only have a very strong hunch, based on an above-average layman's insight into human psychology. I may be wrong (and judging by your response, I would suppose that I am) and you have my apologies.
As for a dogma, the only dogma that I am aware that I have is my own. If it is inconsistent (even within the same sentence or stream of thoughts), then that is merely because that is the nature of the personal thoughts, feelings, and opinions of anyone with even the most remotely open of minds. Sometimes the input of others changes your mind, sometimes you change your own mind.
Generally, I hold all of my opinions to be facts. I treat them as facts in my mind and when I convey them to others. If I am not entirely sure of my opinions, to the point where I consider them to be facts, then why bother with having them?
But at the same time, there's a voice of reason and open-mindedness that keeps the door open, and reminds me that my opinions are fallible and are not truly facts, no matter how supported I believe them to be.
And speaking of thoughts and feelings, I do agree with your PhD acquaintance, on the basis that feelings and thoughts are made of the same stuff, only occurring at different levels of the mind. A feeling is sort of a "proto-thought". By the time you can consider and articulate a feeling, it has become a conscious thought. That doesn't change its origin, though.
One of the luxuries of having a human mind is that not all thoughts have to arise from feelings, and some of our thoughts can disagree with, or even influence, our feelings. (in fact, most of our "morals" do just that; our higher thoughts keep us from acting on our base feelings because our society has agreed that such actions are wrong)
And it is according to all of this that I can say that my higher thoughts tell me that God (while incredibly unlikely) is at the very least possible. It's not that I don't have thoughts that tell me that god doesn't exist (because once you start consciously considering it, the mind begins generating all kinds of excellent rationalizations against his existence) and my opinion (which I hold to be the utmost truth) is that he does not. It's just that among those thoughts, there is the one little voice that arises from logic, reason, diplomacy, and open-mindedness that says "God is a possibility (though perhaps not as defined by man), because there is no proof that he does not exist"
The little voice that says "you may be wrong".
Underneath it all, though, there is a subtle bubbling that is trying to shout down that last bastion of diplomacy. There is a feeling that God cannot exist, because the entire notion is just foolish and wholly unfounded. This feeling is not consciously controlled. In order to keep the door open for that tiny crack of possibility, I have to fight this feeling. It is the same with all opinions.
I'm going to be rolling a response to Gary's message into this one as well.
The truth is simply that belief in God (once you are aware of the concept) ultimately IS a case of absolute opposites. There are two defined answers to the question. A person believes either that he does, or that he does not exist. There are no other options. This really is a "black" vs. "not black" situation.
In this case, "not black" incorporates every possible shade of thought on the matter that is not the belief that he exists. If you do not believe that God exists, then you fall on the other side of the fence.
But the problem (as I see it, of course!) is that ultimately, every shade of non-belief that one can claim to have boils down to actually believing that he does not exist. You can say that you are unsure, or that it is impossible to know, or whatever other flavor of non-belief you adhere to, but when you get right down to it, you believe (or at least suspect) that he does not exist.
It comes back to the above. Your higher thoughts are tossing around the notion that God is possible, or that you honestly can't know for sure, but the undercurrent has already made up your mind.
So a struggle with what you believe on this subject is not really a struggle over deciding what you believe. It is a struggle over accepting what you believe. Again, climbing that fence (and perhaps getting pulled back down, or losing your grip along the way).

Please, shoot me if I try to read another of these awful books!
This stupid trilogy could easily have been done in one bad book, instead of stretching it out.
If she'd keep all the macho crap out, and not have every single flippin' conversation one tough dude threatening every other, the story would fly by in no time.
This book was truly awful/
I gave this book one star only because I can't rate it a zero. I have read most of Iris Johansen's books and enjoyed watching how the characters developed. But the last 10 or so books have continued to decline in quality to point that they have become unreadable. The funny or quirky use of words to describe how lips look: twisted, crooked, moistened and tightened, just to name a few should have sent up wierd signals. Then there is the use of the adjectives and adverbs to describe how a person says something: grimly, viciously, impatiently, gently, quietly, sardonically, silkily, softly, solemnly, ruefully, sourly, thoughtfully, wearily, deparately, maliciously, urgently, harshly raggedly, dryly, wearily, sarcastically, slyly, shyly, dryly, surly, curtly, crisply, and sourly. Is this a joke? Are we supposed to take this seriously? I am pretty sure this is not a complete list. Then again, the writing was so bad, I pretty much started to skim over the pages quickly by page 300 and then went to every other page. The story did not change. I wish I had used this technique earlier in the book and not wasted to much time. Better yet, I wish I had not wasted any time at all reading this book. If this is what we have to look foward to with Iris Johansen, then there is nothing left to look foward to. This is by far some of the silliest, most boring inane writing I have ever experienced and will not ever read this author again. Truely awful.

Our Imports
Importing is about far more than just arranging for transportation and handling logistics to get product into the country. We view importing as a cultural extension of our personalities. The wines are certainly world-class, but if they are not handled correctly (i.e. refrigerated containers only) then what good are the wines? Our portfolio is not about one region or country, it is about an ideology of quality, winemaking and farming practices, and the personalities behind the booze. We like to think that we take our craft seriously and ourselves not quite as serious.

Challenges of Creating a Successful Data Center Network
• How does the administrative team manage all these systems, as well as the information that traverses them?

Data Security and Authentication
Role-Based Access Control
Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting
• The Cisco TrustSec® solution provides flexible RBAC service that spans multiple devices and operating systems to bring holistic security that is not bounded by physical device attributes. It allows multiple security policies to be merged, thereby providing tighter security for the system as a whole. For a more detailed description of Cisco TrustSec operations on the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series, refer to Cisco TrustSec Solution Overview. The Cisco TrustSec solution uses security group tags to create role-aware networks in which the role information is available at each point in the network. The link between switches can be authenticated to give individuals access to certain security groups and in turn gain access to specific resources within the network. The Cisco TrustSec solution enables an end-to-end security policy to be applied to the data center network.
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping is a security feature that filters out untrusted DHCP requests, which could cause the switch to peer with malicious clients on the network. DHCP snooping can be enabled on the switch as a whole or on individual VLANs.
• IP source guard helps prevent IP spoofing attacks, which occur when a host tries to use the IP address of another host. Malicious clients could attempt to attack the switch using a legitimate client's IP address.
• Access control lists (ACLs) are an ordered set of rules that enable the operator to filter traffic based on certain attributes. Actions then may be performed on this filtered traffic. The flexibility of ACLs are favored by administrators because ACLs allows them to perform complicated security functions on the switch and choose the traffic processed by the switch.
• Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) guard is a feature that prevents unnecessary Spanning Tree Protocol recalculations. When a switch joins a bridge domain, it causes the Spanning Tree Protocol to run and identify a new root. This action could indicate a denial-of-service (DoS) attack on the network in which a low-priority switch is added and subsequently removed, causing a permanent Spanning Tree Protocol recalculation to occur. BPDU guard configured on an ingress port protects the network against such attacks.
Bandwidth and Congestion Management
High Availability and Resiliency
Supervisor-Level High Availability
Process-Level Availability Through VDCs
• Bringdown: The VDC stays in the failure mode. The switch needs to be reloaded for recovery.
• Reset: If the switch is occupied by two supervisors in active-standby mode, a supervisor switchover to the standby module is performed. If only a single supervisor is present, that module will be reloaded, thereby affecting all VDCs.
• Restart: The failed VDC is deleted and re-created.
Path-Level High availability
Multiprotocol I/O Consolidation
• Simplify the management of ports and I/O across servers
• Build redundancy once for all storage traffic
• Commission or decommission LAN and SAN ports without server reconfiguration
• Create much tighter security
• Easily create and manage authentication boundaries
• Use the same management tools and personnel across the network

It sucks to see such an uninspiring and cookie cutter copy paste game doing so well. Sad days ahead for everyone except casual gamers.
Yeah im sure its the ps3 version to boot lol, what a mess of a game just like the last one on ps3.....pathetic
sad that cod seems to be the only game that people want to play this gen.
Interesting 3 360 Exclusives but none of the Wii/WiiU or PS3.
COD is really the game everyone likes this gen. How times have changed in the gaming world. Good to see Both Forza games selling well.

Hampton 350
1638 -- 1988
Rockingham County Newspaper -- July 8, 1988
Hampton Union and Seacoast Online.]
By Herb Philbrick, Staff Reporter
The Hampton Union cannot boast 350 years of history; but for nearly 90 of those years, The Hampton Union — and later, its sister papers, The Rockingham Gazette and Beachcomber — have played important roles in the life of the community.
The new& of births, deaths, engagements, weddings, church schedules and events, sports, entertainment, anniversaries, graduations, victories, tragedies and "personals" of every kind and description reported by The Hampton Union have helped knit the Seacoast together.
Information concerning town meetings and town business, also of every description, has contributed to the workings of local democracy.
Advertising, most of it placed by small, independent local entrepreneurs, has assisted many to achieve a measure of success in their endeavors.
In addition, the thousands of Hampton Union pages printed over the years, recorded and preserved on microfilm, are today a resource for historians, genealogists and others involved in scholarly research.[These microfilm pages are available at the Lane Memorial Library, 2 Academy Avenue, Hampton, NH.]
Started In 1899
"Hampton is to have a paper of its own, a semi-weekly called The Hamptons Union," the News- Letter reported. "Its editor and proprietor is Charles Francis Adams of Spencer, Mass., an experienced newspaper man, though young in years (Adams was 33). Mr. Adams has for the past week been busy in getting his printing outfit into shape and the first number will appear on Saturday. The Union will be devoted to the interests of the shore towns of the County. The office is located over D. 0. Leavitt's, near the crossing."
Little did Adams, who began with three employees and a circulation of around 150, dream that in 1988, Hampton Union would serve as a source of information for an estimated 16,000 readers in 28 states as well as in 35 towns throughout New Hampshire.
Nor could he imagine that his tiny newspaper — along with its formal rival, the Exeter News- Letter — would today be part of Ottaway Newspapers Inc., a subsidiary of Dow Jones.
Adam's World
In 1899, Seabrook (population 1,700), South Seabrook and Smithtown — each with their own correspondents — were bustling neighborhoods. A typical report, in the issue of May 10, 1901, brings news concerning 12 Seabrook families: Locke, Boyd, Dow, Gove, Fowler, Bartlett, Eaton, Follansbee, Knowles, Randall, Souther and Chase. In Hampton Union of 1988 the same names still appear, and in the same town.
Crime stories in the issues of the early 1900s also have a familiar ring to them. On May 17, 1901, it is reported that Rye Court was held in Rye Town Hall (Rye Court is still held in the Town Hall) with four defendants tried for the sale of malt liquor. "The raid was made Saturday by Sheriff Collins and Deputy Sheriff C. O. Philbrick"
Juvenile problems were reported then, as they are today, but with a slightly different twist. In the Superior Court news of April 26, 1901, Hampton Union reports that a 15-year-old from Kingston was found guilty by a jury and "sentenced on a charge of rape to not less than six years in State Prison." On appeal, the judge agreed to let the youth begin serving time in State Industrial School "until of age," and then serve the balance of his sentence in State Prison.
Promoting Moral Standards
When one reflects that for at least the first 20 years of the paper, until a Linotype machine was acquired, every single letter of every word had to be hand-set, we can but marvel at the tenacity required to produce each issue.
In a typical edition, on March 22,. 1901, several columns are devoted to printing a sermon by Rev. J. A. Ross of the Congregational Church on "The Danger of Sinful Enticements," based, we are told, on Proverbs, chapters 1 through 10.
"True manliness," Rev. Ross is quoted as saying, "is to stand up for what you know is right."
"I know some young men who go swaggering in the street with a cigar, or what is worse, a cigarette in his mouth, to interlay their conversations with oaths,". quoth Rev. Ross, showing little concern for mixing singulars and plurals.
All of this was mixed with little homilies, used as filler; "Charles Edison works 21 hours a day" (Jan. 21, 1915); "Andrew Carnegie is 77 years old, and has a busy life" (same issue); "There is a firm and wide-spread opinion that now is the time to grapple with the liquor trade in Hampton" (June 14, 1899).
The Hampton Academy
Graduating student Everett Shaw spoke on "The Nation's Future," declaring, "The future of this nation depends upon its character. That determines whether in the future this country is going to advance or decline." Charles Francis Adams would be interested to know that in 1988, the question of character, or the lack of it, is still a newsworthy topic.
For 30 years Adams, with the assistance of his wife and his daughter, Constance (now Mrs. Everett Billings of Kittery, Maine), guided the destiny of Hampton Union. Adams was also very active in community and political affairs, and he served in those capacities both before and after his retirement as newspaper publisher. He was special justice for the Hampton Municipal Court for 25 years, Hampton representative in Concord for 12 years, deputy town clerk for three years and Hampton town auditor for eight years, in addition to participating in a number of civic and social Organizations.
New Ownership
They also published the Rockingham County Gazette, which continues today, and The Beach Advocate, a seasonal publication which later became, as it is still known today, The Beachcomber.
It is significant to note, in these days of both experienced and anticipated inflation, that for many years after the Seaveys began their term as publisher, the cost of The Hampton Union remained at exactly the price of the first issue printed in 1899; three cents a copy newsstand price, $1 a year subscription; and that coffee sold in local restaurants, with or without cream, went for five cents a cup.
Following the death of Ed Seavey Jr., the Union was published by a succession of owners, beginning with Gov. Wesley Powell in 1963. During those years, a great many changes took place. The actual production of the paper is perhaps the most dramatic.
In the olden days the paper was, as we know, completely hand-set. for at least 20 years until the advent of the Linotype machine. Later, printing advanced from the slow and cumbersome flat-bed press to "offset" and then to today's high-speed rotary presses.
Reporters 'filed their copy, at first, largely in long-hand; then came the typewriter; and then, in recent years, came a typewriter with a special typeface that was "read" and then photo-typeset by a forerunner of the modern computer.
Today, visitors to The Hampton Union will find not a single typewriter in sight in the newsroom (there is just one, tucked away for emergencies); instead, newsroom and advertising desks are stacked with computer keyboards and screens.
Correspondents are similarly equipped with portable computers at their homes. When the story on the screen meets their satisfaction, they press one or two keys and the story is transmitted by telephone to the news editor, Howard Parnell, at his office desk. After checking the story and making any changes he feels necessary, Parnell enters another keystroke and the copy is set in type faster that it is now taking you to read it.
We can be sure that dramatic changes in our world and in our communities will continue to occur in coming years. Whatever they bring, Hampton Union will be here to report it and to record it for future historians.

Do People Really Read Public Notices?
We hear this question time and again and the answer is always: YES! People do really read public notices.
The Iowa Newspaper Association commissioned a study by the respected Newton Marketing and Research firm in September, 2012.
The results of the study are almost overwhelming. Iowans read public notices in newspapers and that's where they want them to stay.
Public notices are better read in Iowa
than sports news.
Why are public notices important?
An important premise upon which the principle of democracy is based is that information about government activities must be accessible in order for people to make informed decisions.
Why should public notices be printed in newspapers?
That's where they've been available to the public for 200 years. Newspapers are a respected third party – not like a government agency posting public notices on the agency's own website.
Newspapers have the responsibility to print public notices in a timely, complete and accurate basis. Nobody has ever "hacked" a newspaper – unlike Internet sites where public notices have mysteriously disappeared.
How long do public notices last?
Unlike the Internet, newspapers provide a timeless repository of important documents and information. Public notices in newspapers don't evaporate into cyberspace days after they are posted. Notices in newspapers are a permanent record.
86% of Iowans believe state and local government should be required to publish public notices in newspapers.
92% of Iowans find their local newspaper trustworthy when publishing public notices, compared with only 68% who find a government-sponsored website trustworthy.
Iowans want to read public notices in their newspaper. 85% of Iowans read their local newspaper.
Public notices printed in Iowa newspapers are also posted at www.iowanotices.org at no charge to government agencies.
Putting public notices on hundreds of government websites is the best way to make sure they will NOT be noticed by the public.
Iowans have spoken and the answer is YES.

Event Information
BRCA membership is a requirement. The Licence costs £20 per annum and runs from December to December. It can
be purchased online from: https://www.brca.org/
When you arrive
Please visit race control and book in when you arrive at the track. The booking in process should be swift but please
be prepared to queue. Please ask questions while youre in the queue. There will be people around to answer them.
For booking in we just need to know youre here.
Qualifying Heats
There will be one practice round in heat order.
There will then be 4 Rounds of 5 minute Qualifying Heats for each class. Busy classes will be split into 2 or 3 separate
heats based upon the ability grade stated at online registration.
Each Heat is a staggered start format so buggies will start 1.5 seconds apart and it is all about completing as many
laps as possible in those 5 minutes. The transponder system will record the exact time and laps over the 5 minutes.
Please look at the board outside the control hut to see which Heat youre in and make a note of your buggy number.
The computer system will call out the buggy numbers for the staggered start so its important that you know your
number and you start as soon as you hear your number called out. At the beginning of each Heat the buggies line up
in front of the transponder line. You will keep the same buggy number throughout the Heats. The order in which
Buggies start is determined by the previous heat results. Quickest buggy starts first.
Make a note of who is in the heat before you and be ready while that Heat is running. Get used to the faces up on
the Rostrum. Thats the best way to know when youre due up.
When your heat is finished the computer system will call out your buggy number and say Finished. Keep going
until you hear this. If you get confused, ask your fellow racers on the rostrum.
You must stay around after your Heat to marshal the next Heat.
The drivers best 2 heat times out of the 4 will determine grid position in the final. There may be A, B, C etc finals per
class depending on entry levels. The finals will run in order, A then B then C etc. This is to allow the A final winner
and runner up time to prepare for the Race of Champions.
Race of Champions
The top 2 drivers from each A final enter into the prestigious Race of Champions. This will see all classes fighting it
out on track at the same time with separate starting grids around the track based on the class age. The winner of
the Race of Champions is crowned the event champion.
All drivers must Marshall the heat immediately after their own heat.
When you finish your heat, place your Buggy on the table next to the rostrum and go straight out onto the track to
your Marshalls post and put on the supplied high visibility vest. Marshal posts will be numbered and you should go
to the marshal point with the same number as your car.
Marshals should stay at their marshalling points at all times during the race period. If a car is need of assistance only
enter the track when it is safe to do so, and when the car has been recovered get back to your marshal point as soon
as possible but making sure that it is safe to cross the track. Please refrain from fixing cars at the side of the track;
you are there to marshal only. Stay vigilant, stay alert and stay safe.
Drivers must not hit the throttle until the Marshall has stepped away.
Support Races
The one-off Monster Truck race on Sunday is a random grid start and the winner will be the driver first to complete 9
laps. If you have any completely battered and beyond hope Lexan Shells, please bring them along for the race!
Thanks in advance. Due to the potential high number of entries, GHz radio is recommended.
On Saturday there will be a Wheelie race just for fun with no timing and no trophies. Entry is £2 cash on the day. All
entry money goes into the charity pot.
Endurance Race
Please refer to the Revival Endurance Race details later in this document for eligible buggies and rules for Saturday
evenings team endurance race.
Concours delegance
Concourse is £2 cash per entry, to be paid on the day and will be judged at the photo call just before the drivers
Saturday: Any eligible 2WD Buggy & Wheelie.
Sunday: Any eligible 4WD Buggy & Monster Truck.
Motors and Speed Controllers
There are no restrictions on motors and speed controllers
There is a 2s LiPo limit for the event. You will need to provide your own source of power for recharging of batteries.
Generators may be used but please try to ensure to position them so they are out of harms way and so they are not
an annoyance to other people attending the meeting.
Please charge LiPos in a fire sack.
Please consider using GHz radio for an easier day.
If you are running MHz radio, please state which crystals you have when you register online so they can be put into
the race computer. Just state the colour or number of the crystals that you have e.g. Red, 915 etc. When you race
you will be allocated a specific crystal for that heat so it is important that A1 have your crystal details in advance.
If you dont have a PT (Personal Transponder) there will be Hand out Transponders provided on the day. These need
to be securely fitted into your vehicle but need to be quickly removed because they have to be handed back to race
control after each heat. Hand out Transponders have their own battery and can be secured through the body shell
as they have a body shell style mount. If you don't want to put a hole through the buggy body, you'll need to find a
way to secure them very temporarily without sticking them. So find a way to make use of the body mount hole or
cable tie them etc. This is what they look like alongside another idea for securing them to the chassis.
Dimensions: AMBrc Rechargeable Transponder
Dimensions : 35 x 31 x 12 mm (approx. 1.4x1.2x 0.5) Weight : 22 g
Making sure you can accommodate the Hand-out Transponders in your vehicle is very important so please consider
this prior to the event to save you time/panic on the day. If youd rather purchase your own PT, they are in excess of
£30 each and are smaller and powered from the receiver.
Charity Raffle
There will be a Saturday raffle and a Sunday raffle with some incredible prizes donated by sponsors and members.
Raffle tickets will be £5.
Charity Tombola
There will be the opportunity to win RC prizes on the Charity Tombola.
Icon of the Day Award
This award will go to the most stand-out or unique buggy racing on each day.
The Brett Davis Newcomer Award
This special trophy will be presented on each day to who we feel made the best Revival debut.
Revival Veteran Award
This award, presented on Sunday, will go to an entrant who has made a notable contribution to the Revivals over the
Endurance Race
A 2 hour endurance race on the Revival Saturday evening, 29th July, from approximately 18:30. The start will be Lemans
style with cars lined up along the side of the main straight. Each team will have a runner standing on the
opposite side of the track. After a ten second countdown, on the warble a designated runner will run across to the

have completed the most laps during the races duration.

The New York Knicks season has been a wild, unpredictable ride filled with surprises, disappointments, and extended winning and losing streaks. But now now one of the bright spots will be out recovering instead of helping the squad play like a functional unit.
Brian Mahoney of the Associated Press reports:
Say so long to Linsanity.
Jeremy Lin will miss the rest of the regular season because he needs knee surgery that will sideline him six weeks and could leave the Knicks without their star point guard in the playoffs—if they make it that far.
Lin had an MRI exam this week that revealed a small, chronic meniscus tear and he has elected to have surgery next week in New York.
With the regular season ending April 26, the biggest story in basketball this season is done unless the Knicks make a deep postseason run.
Speaking slowly during a pregame press conference, Lin was unable to hide his disappointment with the decision that was reached earlier Saturday after a painful workout.
"It (stinks) not being able to be out there with the team," he said.
Upcoming: Lin-surgery.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has appointed George Canellos, the current director of the New York regional office, as deputy director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement.
Canellos will begin serving in his new role as deputy director at the SEC's Washington headquarters on June 4, at which time Andrew Calamari, who currently serves as senior associate regional director and co-head of enforcement for the New York regional office, will become acting director of the New York regional office.
"For the past three years, George has been an incredibly effective advocate for investors and has helped the New York office take on some of the most difficult cases in the securities arena," said SEC Chairwoman Mary Schapiro in a statement. "With his experience, he is extremely well-suited to help head an Enforcement Division that has brought a record number of cases and is pursuing a host of complex investigations."
Robert Khuzami, director of the SEC's Enforcement Division, said in the same statement that Canellos was "known to all as possessing a keen and uniquely probing intellect, an innovative approach to problem-solving, and a deep commitment to prosecuting wrongdoers and protecting the public. I am excited that he has agreed to bring his formidable talents to this position."
Canellos, 47, has been director of the New York regional office since July 2009. He is a former federal prosecutor who became an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York in 1994. He is a graduate of Harvard College and Columbia University School of Law.

Fayette Local Schools has a full teaching staff ready for the 2008-09 school year following a hiring decision July 21.
Board members voted at the regular July meeting to hire Sarah Skolmowski to serve as junior high and high school physical education and health teacher. She will also coach the seventh grade volleyball team.
Penny Vanvlerah of West Unity was hired to serve as media specialist, assisted by Stacy Wise on a part-time basis. Both staff members will be paid on a per diem (per day) schedule.
Vanvlerah recently retired from the West Unity school district. After helping to set up the media center in the new school, Wise will work in the facility when Vanvlerah isn't available.
COACHES—A contract was rescinded for Michala Riegsecker who decided not to serve as co-coach in the volleyball program. Steve Schrock was hired as eighth grade girls basketball coach.
SALARY—Pay increases were approved for the two principals and the athletic director.
Board members met in a closed session for 45 minutes to discuss employment and compensation issues.
TURBINE—The board approved the use of $9,800 of the remaining construction funds for the first phase of a wind turbine project. The work will be done by Engineered Process Systems of Huron, Ohio.
DEFICIT—District treasurer Angel Adamski told board members that the 2007-08 fiscal year deficit came in at about $93,000. That amount was less than anticipated, superintendent Russ Griggs said later. Griggs said the district is in very good financial condition.
INVENTORY–Valuation Engineers will be paid $3,025 to update the district's inventory and to conduct a property appraisal.
COMPUTERS—The Northwest Ohio Computer Association will be paid $20,511 for the annual membership fee for services provided in the next school year.
FEES—The board approved student fees, including $35 for accounting classes, $17.50 for agriculture education and $15 for foods classes. The fee is $10 for several others. High school and junior high students will also pay $7 for a planner and $3 for computer use.
The $45 fee for elementary students help cover materials other than textbooks.

What a roller coaster of emotions for me during this time! As I was backstage getting my hands unwrapped, I was breaking down emotionally. I knew I had committed a nasty foul and had no clue how hurt Brad Tavares really was.
I was told coach Tito Ortiz wanted to have a team meeting, but the only thing on my mind was apologizing to Brad, making sure he was OK, and telling Dana White that I was sorry. I wanted Brad and Dana both to know I am not a dirty fighter and that I was not trying to cheat a win away from anyone.
Dana said he understood, and he was glad I apologized. He told me that was about the worst foul you can do to someone and that safety of fighters is his biggest concern. In other words, I screwed up pretty big in his eyes.
As I was searching for Brad, I ran into coach Chuck Liddell and apologized to him, too. I felt bad. He and my coach, Tito Ortiz, got into it over me and my actions. I did not want to cause any undue drama. Chuck acknowledged it was an accident and said I did the right thing afterward, but he was obviously really agitated, and I was about to find out why.
As the lows were setting in, I was telling myself, "You still have a few more weeks of great training with some of the best in the industry." Coach Tito (or "Donkey Kong" as I had came to call him) and his coaches were really helping us, and while we knew coach Tito was hurting, we also knew we loved having him around. He cared about us fighters and wanted to see nothing but great things for us during this season – and after it ended.
The next fight was Jamie Yager's chance to back up all the smack talk and keep at least one more Team Ortiz fighter in the hunt. I like Jamie's fighting style when he is confident, but in this fight with Josh Bryant, I think he realized what was on the line. Instead of using those kicks and limbs to attack, he used them to defend the takedown and keep his opponent at bay. I felt the fight was pretty even-sided after two rounds except that Jamie seemed gassed. He absorbed punishment for a couple minutes in an attempt to just recover his cardio.
When Dana announced that a third round would take place, I am pretty sure most of us thought Jamie would answer the bell. He is a tough fighter, and I could not imagine him quitting. I know I would have fought that third round without any limbs and still try to gnaw my way to victory. It was odd to see Brad yelling for Jamie to come out and face his teammate. He and Kris McCray really were close with Jamie, and I know he was hurting for his friend.
When Chuck said Jamie quit like Tito, I do not think a lot of us knew what was going on. We knew the fight was off, but we were not sure what he meant. Had Tito decided to leave the show? I knew I had upset him with the "Donkey Kong" comment, but I never thought he would leave the show. He seemed committed to teaching us.
Then as we sat in the van and watched Tito and his coaches speed off, it was apparent we were in for some changes. When Dana called us back in and broke the news, I was sad to hear it. For me, my one high point had just been fired from the show. Now, not only had I lost my fights, but I had also lost the coaching staff that was going to make this a learning experience for us.
I was bummed, and new coaches or not, the rest of the team was essentially done with "TUF" and would be supporting castmates to Kris' shot at the finals. And wouldn't you know it? They give him the same fight he already lost. All we can hope for is that Tito and his coaches taught him enough to carry him through.
I was at UFC Fan Expo 2010 this past weekend, and it was nice to see the guys from the show. Some of them seem to be fitting into the shoes of stardom, and others seemed to be faces in the crowd. On the way home from the expo, I got a call from Brad's mom. She wanted me to know she received the apology letter I sent her, and she told me she held no ill feelings toward me. I was glad to hear from her and to know she accepted my apology.

Show us that you give a damn 😉 (Heidi: I'm in a really bad mood because this is turning into a 60 hour work week. Warning, warning!!)
And again, many, many thanks to Marcela in Brazil for sending us a plethora of pictures of dittoed costumes that she found 😉 Você é maravilhosa, Marcela!
Battle of the purple & pink heavily-stoned ballgown: Kim's "Pink Panther" foxtrot with Mark in season 7 vs. Chelsie's preseason photo shoot in season 8
Courtney: As much as I don't particularly care for Kim's personality (especially her rather blasé demeanor while she was on the show), I think this suits Kim's complexion and hair color better than it does Chelsie – seems to make her look ruddy. But definitely one of my favorite ballgowns they've ever had on the show – love the color combo and just the simplicity of the cut.
Heidi: I think it shortens Chelsie's body too much – maybe the ankle length?? Or maybe just the pose. And I agree, it definitely goes better with the darker hair and completion on Kim.
The winner: Kim, in spite of her personality.
Battle of the yellow, cut-out, feathered Latin dress: Brooke in the samba smackdown in season 7 vs. Cheryl in the pro dance to Robin Thicke in season 8
Heidi: This is a stupid dress. I don't like yellow, I don't like the cutouts, I don't like it on either of them. :::stamps feet:::: 😉
Courtney: Now I love yellow – but the cut of this dress is just silly-looking to me. Makes both ladies look like Tweety Bird or something. It also doesn't do justice to professional American rhythm competitor Jaana Lillemagi. But since we've already determined that Cheryl can pull off yellow with her skin tone, I'm gonna go with her.
The winner: Despite Heidi's temper tantrum, Cheryl looks the best as a cartoon canary. 😉
Battle of the royal blue satin cut-out Latin dress: Julianne's cha-cha with Apolo in season 4 vs. Anna in the pro paso demo in season 8
Courtney: This dress is just extremely odd to me – doesn't really feel like a Latin dress or a ballgown. And Anna, you know I love you to bits, but man – you look GHASTLY in this dress. I feel like it just makes Anna look pale, and something about the cut of it adds pounds to her otherwise flawless figure. It's not terrible on Julianne, per se; it's just kind of a non-event. Not bad, but not great. So I'll go with Julianne.
Heidi: Boy, you're reading my mind here. This dress's structure is not flattering to either girl. Luckily for Julianne, she comes off a bit better, due mainly due to the pose. Anna, who has a perfect figure, looks almost like she has a spare tire. It's that stupid vertical pit of fabric, I think, combined with the straight cut across the hips.
The winner: Julianne by a pose.
Battle of the sparkly, gold, long-sleeve romper: Julianne's freestyle with Helio in season 5 vs. Karina's pro dance with Derek to Selena Gomez in season 9
Heidi: Well, I have mad love for Karina's partner, plus I think it suits her hair and skin tone better. 😉
Courtney: CAMEL TOE ALERT!!! Ladies, this is why skin-tight rompers should just be avoided altogether – it's hard to mask this dreaded fashion faux pas. It makes it hard for me to even really like this costume on either lady – but since it's not quite so visible on Karina, I'm giving this one to her.
Heidi: Well I think that most of what you're seeing is a function of fabric, camera angle and shadow. I don't think there is a true camel toe (and god, even typing those words makes me throw up in my mouth a bit – thanks, Court).
Courtney: Camel toe is no laughing matter, my friend! Hehe 😉
The winner: Karina, by a hotter partner and better angle.
Battle of the pink, fringy, sparkly Latin dress: Kym's jive with Mark in season 5 vs. Marlee's preseason photo shoot with Fabian in season 6
Courtney: Wow, what a difference lighting makes! I can assure you all that this is indeed the same dress – the lighting from Marlee's photo shoot just really washes out the otherwise vibrant neon pink that we see in Kim's jive. I'm not particularly wowed by the dress on either lady. So again, I default to my wise cohort on this one 😉
Heidi: Kym. Kym all the way. Better boobage, better lighting, a face full of joy. 😉
The winner: Kym by default.
Battle of the black & white, sparkly patterned ballgown: Melissa's foxtrot with Tony in season 8 vs. Anna in the pro dance to Michael Buble in season 9
Heidi: This is a pretty dress – I dig it. It looks good on both ladies, but I have to go with Anna, mainly because her shoes match better and I like her hair better. I don't like the tight style that Melissa is wearing.
Courtney: I've got to give this one to Anna – like with Lacey & the zebra dress last week, the little "pop" of color of her red hair just seems to pair better with the black & white of the dress than Melissa's darker hair.
The winner: Anna!! By a hair…and a shoe.
Battle of the red, sparkly, ruffle-y, cut-out Latin dress: Marlee's cha-cha with Fabian in season 6 vs. Shawn's preseason photo shoot with Mark in season 8
Courtney: Either I'm just getting sick of commenting on costumes (doubtful 😉 ) or I've seen this dress before – or rather, several dresses that seem nearly the same. What is it with the costume department and red, ruffle-y, sparkly Latin dresses for the ladies? It's becoming almost cliché. I guess I pick Shawn for this one – for once, the overall look of a dress actually seems more "finished" the 2nd go-round than it did for the first!
Heidi: Whoa. Marlee is WHITE. Way too white. Distractingly white. Gotta go with Shawn for her tan and her ear rings.
The winner: Shawn by a tan.
You know you love lookin' at costumes. So why not quell your appetite for fashion by reviewing parts I, II, III, IV, & V while you wait for next week's edition? 😉
