@placeholder, who claimed his seventh U.S .Open title in 1929 as well as being twice a losing finalist, goes down in the history books as one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
(CNN) -- Five-time defending champion Roger Federer is bidding to match the record of a controversial tennis legend who dominated the sport in the 1920s but died in disgrace. Tilden dominated tennis in the 1920s with his own trademark style. American Bill Tilden achieved fame and fortune through his tennis exploits and befriended Hollwyood stars such as Charle Chaplin, but he spent over a year in jail in the 1940s on a morals charge, which ruined his reputation before his untimely death in 1953. Tilden won his six straight U.S. Open titles from 1920-1925 - a record since the tournament abolished the challenge system - where the champion automatically qualified for the final - in 1911. @highlight Roger Federer seeking to match the six straight U.S. Open wins of Bill Tilden @highlight Tilden dominated tennis in the 1920s, winning 10 grand slam titles @highlight The American legend served two prison sentences on morals charges in the 1940s @highlight Tilden was shunned by the tennis comminty and died at the age of 60

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- Four militants armed with guns and grenades stormed a mosque in Rawalpindi frequented by military personnel, killing dozens of people Friday -- most of them children, the military said. The attack is the latest to shake the garrison city since this year's launch of strong military offensives against Taliban insurgents in the Swat Valley and South Waziristan. Rawalpindi is the headquarters of the Pakistani army. Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas said Friday's assault killed 36 people and wounded 75. Among the dead were 17 children, according to the military's Web site. Also killed were an army general and eight other military officials, six of them of senior rank. The remaining fatalities were adults. @highlight Armed militants attack mosque during midday prayers in Rawalpindi, killing dozens @highlight Mosque is frequented by retired and serving military officials @highlight November 2 attack in Rawalpindi saw suicide bomber target a bank

(CNN) -- The renewed bloodshed and defiant protests in Egypt prompts a provocative question: Could Egypt really collapse? Just two years into a revolution that ignited during the Arab Spring, Egypt's defense minister warned this week the raging conflict "may lead to the collapse of the state and threaten the future of our coming generations." On Wednesday, analysts described that statement as overreaching, but none dismissed the severity of the country's problems. "His comments were a bit over the top," said Joshua Stacher, a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center of Scholars. "It depends on what your definition of what 'collapse' is," added Steven A. Cook, senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. "The economy is certainly in terrible shape." @highlight Egypt's raging conflict "may lead to the collapse of the state," defense minister says @highlight The remark is a warning that things are getting out of control, analysts say @highlight But experts largely agree that the remark is "a bit over the top" @highlight Egypt's government needs to build "confidence" among its people, Clinton says

Blackfish director @placeholder, who says she wasn’t a marine mammal activist before making the film, calls the news encouraging.
By Joel Christie Besieged theme park SeaWorld has launched its first major PR attack against Blackfish in an attempt to offset almost 12 months of damage caused by the chilling documentary, which chronicled the aquarium's 39-year treatment of killer whales in captivity. Hit with cancellations from high-profile performers and school field trips, coupled with aggressive animal activist campaigns and a tarnished image, the Orlando-based marine park has placed full-page ads in eight of the country's largest newspapers, rationalizing their whale practices. The 'Open Letter from SeaWorld's Animal Advocates' — which appears in today's Orlando Sentinel, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today, among other papers — defends the way SeaWorld cares for the 29 whales in its corporate collection. @highlight Blackfish is a 2013 documentary that charters SeaWorld's 39-year treatment of killer whales in captivity @highlight It culminates in the death of trainer Dawn Brancheau, who was drowned by famous orca Tilikum during a training session at SeaWorld Orlando in 2010 @highlight Eight of the 10 artists booked to play at the annual Beers, Brew and BBQ concert have withdrawn after seeing the film, including Willie Nelson, Barenaked Brides and Trisha Yearwood @highlight SeaWorld today launched a new ad campaign in newspapers across the U.S. in an attempt to offset the damage and negative publicity

He added that the @placeholder must come under further military pressure from the U.S.-led international military force and Afghan government forces before any substantive talks will occur.
Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- The Taliban claimed responsibility for a suicide car bomb attack Sunday that targeted a NATO convoy in northern Afghanistan's Kunduz province, killing at least three people and wounding 11, a spokesman for the provincial governor's office said. The attack came a day after Afghan President Hamid Karzai said the United States was involved in peace talks with the Taliban. U.S. officials have downplayed Karzai's statements, saying there had been contact but no discussions substantial enough to be considered negotiations. "I would say that these contacts are very preliminary at this point," Defense Secretary Robert Gates said in an interview broadcast Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union." @highlight Gates says U.S. contacts with the Taliban are preliminary @highlight The Taliban says it targeted German troops in a suicide car bombing @highlight Officials: Those confirmed killed or wounded are civilians @highlight The attack comes after the Afghan president said the U.S. is in peace talks with the Taliban

With her smooth and sultry tones, Linette Beaumont has become the first woman to star in a commercial for Viagra. If the English actress looks vaguely familiar, it's because she's made brief appearances in most of Britain's most popular TV soaps. The 44-year-old blonde was picked, according to Viagra makers Pfizer, after the company polled men suffering with erectile dysfunction who admitted that a woman would 'reassure' them - as well as motivating them to contact their doctor.

In Pemon language, the flat-topped mountains across southeastern @placeholder are known as 'tepuis,' which means 'houses of the gods.'
A mystic, flat-topped mountain on the Venezuela-Brazil border that perplexed 19th-century explorers and inspired 'The Lost World' novel is attracting ever more modern-day adventurers. Once impenetrable to all but the Pemon indigenous people, several thousand hikers a year now make the three-day trek across savannah, through rivers, under a waterfall and along a narrow path scaling the cliffs of Mount Roraima. While those throngs are a boon to Venezuela's tottering tourism industry, they also scatter a prehistoric landscape with unwanted litter and strain a delicate ecosystem.

The official, who did not want to be on the record talking about ongoing deliberations, said the talks have focused exclusively on U.S. troops in @placeholder, just south of Tokyo.
Tokyo (CNN) -- What appeared to be smoke was rising Tuesday from two adjacent reactors in the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, a nuclear safety official said. Smoke spewed Monday from the same reactors, setbacks that came despite fervent efforts to prevent the further release of radioactive materials at the stricken facility. Hidehiko Nishiyama, an official with Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, said smoke was rising from the plant's No. 2 and No. 3 reactors. It was not immediately clear why. On Monday, after 6 p.m., white smoke was seen emanating from the facility's No. 2 reactor, according to Nishiyama. About two hours earlier, workers were evacuated from the area around the No. 3 reactor after gray smoke began to rise from the wreckage of its steel-and-concrete housing, which was blown apart by a hydrogen explosion last week. @highlight NEW: The U.S. military is considering mandatory evacuations in Yokosuka, an official says @highlight High levels of radioactive iodine and cesium have been found in milk and spinach @highlight WHO says there's no immediate health risk from contaminated food

In @placeholder, a hotel can earn a single star just for changing the sheets on the beds once a week (don't let the bedbugs bite!).
(BudgetTravel.com) -- When Americans think of "five star" hotels, they conjure up images of on-site spas, white-gloved service, and pillow menus. That's no surprise, given that the dominant rating systems in the U.S. are two of the most trust-worthy on the planet -- Forbes and AAA. In order to snag Forbes's highest ratings, for example, a hotel's staff must meet criteria such as greeting arriving guests curbside within 60 seconds and offering tasting samples to drinkers ordering wine by the glass. In Italy, on the other hand, where the rating system is government owned and operated, all it takes to score five stars is a 24-hour reception desk, receptionists that speak three foreign languages, and double rooms starting at 172 square feet. @highlight Hotel scoring systems vary from country to country @highlight Consistent criteria and anonymous inspectors make AAA and Forbes reliable @highlight Favor middle-ground reviews on user-generated rating websites
