Journey with Taliban shows militants' resilience

SOUTH WAZIRISTAN, Pakistan (AP) — For 15 hours, we walked with Taliban fighters through territory supposedly controlled by the Pakistani army and frequently pounded by U.S. drone strikes. Avoiding roads and towns, we easily evaded soldiers and were shown recruits drilling with weapons, militant positions and — from a distance — a compound used by foreign fighters.

The rare trip to South Waziristan revealed the resilience of militants in the northwestern tribal areas, some of whom are also battling American soldiers across the frontier in Afghanistan. It also demonstrated that the insurgents, who once ruled much of South Waziristan from permanent bases with many hundreds of fighters, are now largely a guerrilla force there.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Associated Press reporter, photographer and videographer Ishtiaq Mahsud spent six days with fighters from the Pakistani Taliban close to the Afghan border. His account of their travels through South Waziristan offers a look at an area that the Pakistani military claimed had been brought under control after an army offensive two years ago.

The Pakistani Taliban had invited three Pakistani journalists to meet its leader, Hakimullah Mehsud, at a time when splits have appeared in the movement. But Mehsud canceled, with his aides saying he was called into urgent meetings with a delegation of Afghan Taliban elders who had arrived from across the border.

The trip began in the capital of North Waziristan, Miran Shah, where the Pakistan army has yet to launch an offensive despite requests from Washington. Militants, including al-Qaida and Afghan Taliban factions, are in firmer control in this region than in South Waziristan. Extremists from other countries and other areas of Pakistan were visible on the streets of the town.

We then drove to the boundary with the south, and began our journey on foot, accompanied by four fighters.

South Waziristan was once home to about 500,000 people but its towns and villages are now mostly empty. The population was told to flee ahead of a major Pakistani army offensive in 2009. The army has declared victory, but most locals haven't returned. They do not believe official statements that their homeland is safe.

In one abandoned village, three men were living in a single room in a ruined house. They said they couldn't leave because they had no money and two of them were blind from birth. Their sole possessions were a dirty mat and some blackened cooking pots. One, 30-year-old Mafiq, said the Taliban gave them monthly rations and sometimes cooked food.

At night, we slept in empty houses. Once, we feasted on goat with about 40 fighters in a forest encampment.

The Pakistani military remains in South Waziristan in force but its men are often targeted in ambushes.

On the main roads there were army posts, vital for supplying the roughly 30,000 soldiers in the region. But it was easy to travel without being spotted or pursued so long as our group stayed off them.

"The army is confined to the roads," said Shameem Mehsud, the operational commander of the Pakistani Taliban. "All the surrounding areas are in Taliban control."

After 15 hours hiking, our group came to a semi-permanent forward position used to attack troops traveling on a main road below. About 30 fighters were armed with rocket launchers, sniper rifles and artillery. Through binoculars, Mehsud pointed out what appeared to be an anti-aircraft gun on a nearby ridge he said belonged to the Taliban.

As we chatted, the army fired mortars at the position, one round landing about 50 meters (yards) away.

On the return journey to the north, again on foot but using a different route, one of the fighters pointed to a collection of buildings that he said was used by fighters from Turkmenistan. He said fighters from other countries stayed at different places in the region.

The tribal regions, particularly North Waziristan, have become a magnet for Muslims wanting to fight jihad or "holy war." The area is also used by Afghan militants to stage attacks inside their homeland, knowing that U.S. and NATO troops cannot enter Pakistani territory.

The Pakistani army, which has several times flown reporters to South Waziristan and other Afghan border areas to show off its achievements against militants, was not available for comment on what we observed on our trip.

The army offensive in South Waziristan was launched after heavy American pressure, and was followed by operations in six of the seven tribal regions along the border. But as U.S.-led forces have found in Afghanistan, holding exposed and remote territory against insurgents who know the area and can count on local support is fiendishly difficult.

Eager to wipe out a safe haven for al-Qaida and protect American troops in Afghanistan, the United States has supplied Pakistan with money, weapons and expert assistance for its campaign against the militants. That cooperation has faltered badly this year amid a series of crises between the two nations, whose divergent interests in Afghanistan have proven hard to reconcile.

There is no love lost between the Pakistani military and the Pakistani Taliban, which is allied to al-Qaida and has carried out scores of suicide bombings around the country since 2007.

Some insurgent commanders in the northwest have said recently they were in peace negotiations with the Pakistani government. Militant attacks in major cities outside the northwest have been down sharply this year, a drop some have attributed to the success of army operations and the drone strikes.

The commanders in South Waziristan rejected any talk of peace. They said they would negotiate with the government only if Islamic law were implemented throughout the country, the army withdraws from the region and all Taliban prisoners are released.

"Despite all their resources and atomic power, America, NATO and Pakistan cannot defeat the Taliban as our suicide bombers will use their bones as bullets, their flesh as gunpowder and their blood as fuel," Mehsud said. "They have no way to counter to this spirit."

Pakistan's spy agency has been accused of aiding other militants, such as the Haqqanis and other factions in the Afghan Taliban who carry out attacks on U.S. troops across the border.

CIA drones, in turn, have targeted militants with missile strikes in the Pakistani tribal regions.

Although Mehsud said the militants often changed their training grounds because of fear of attack by American drones, he and his fighters didn't appear overly concerned about the missiles. There have been more than 60 such attacks this year, the vast majority in the Waziristans.

At one point on the trip, the militants showed us young recruits — they called them trainee suicide bombers — exercising on a flat piece of land in a deserted village surrounded by mountains. Wearing masks, they staged the mock capture of a man wearing the uniform of a Pakistani soldier.

"We will jump in the fire without any hesitation on the orders of our commander," they shouted in unison at the end.

Some Foods Can Help Brighten Your Smile

What you're eating could damage your smile, but other foods and beverages can help clean your teeth. If you experience persistent tooth stains, talk to your dentist about ways you can enhance your smile.

Certain foods and beverages can lead to surface staining. Coffee, dark sodas, red wine and blueberries all leave their mark quickly.

"While daily home care and regular professional cleanings are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums, certain foods can help remove stains from your teeth," said Dr. Marty Zase, president of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. "Foods such as apples, pears, celery, carrots, cauliflower and cucumbers produce saliva which combines with the foods' natural fibers to naturally clean teeth and remove bacteria."

Drinking beverages from a straw helps food dyes avoid teeth altogether, and regular toothbrushing with baking soda, whitening toothpaste or a bleaching agent are also effective.

Brushing and flossing do remove most surface stains, but if stains prove to be stubborn, try a whitening system.

Bleaching products that alter the natural tooth color come in the form of gels, strips and in-office trays. They contain peroxide, which aids in removing intrinsic stains — the ones deep into the tooth — and extrinsic stains, which are on the tooth's surface. Whitening products that only remove surface stains do not contain bleach, and come primarily in the form of toothpastes.

There are numerous over-the-counter products and in-office treatments geared toward removing visible stains from teeth — making them appear and, in some cases, remain brighter.

Talk to your dentist about the options most suitable for you, your expectations and the costs involved.

The CF Guide to Looking Chic at Theme Parks

Publish date:
Social count:
Theme Park at Night

Photo Credit

Aren't theme parks the best? I mean, they have everything: fun rides to go on, indulgent food to eat, and enough awesome activities to keep you occupied all day long.

However, as amazing as theme parks are, they always cause a certain fashion conundrum to arise: how can you look stylish and stay comfortable throughout the day? If you've ever had that thought, you're in luck, because I've developed some tricks and tips to help you do both. Interested in learning more? Read on for the ultimate guide to looking chic at theme parks:

Scenario #1: A Day at the Park

You're planning to spend the next 12 hours at a theme park, so you need an outfit that is super-comfortable, able to keep you cool in scorching temperatures and still über-stylish. (Whew!)

What You'll Need:

  • A breezy top and a pair of laid-back shorts are pretty much the perfect items to wear at theme parks. Both items are casual, comfy and will keep you cool in hot weather.
  • A pair of comfortable shoes is a must. Since you'll be on your feet all day, this isn't the time to break in a new pair of sandals or sneakers.
  • As far as bags go, choose a hands-free style -- like a cross-body bag -- so you can enjoy your day without worrying about lugging around a heavy bag.

Outfit for Inspiration

Theme Park Outfit 1

Top - H&M, Shorts - Nordstrom, Necklace - Miss Selfridge, Bag - Nine West, Belt - Topshop, Shoes - TOMS

For this look, I chose a pretty printed blouse and a pair of basic denim shorts for a perfect summer look. These classic sneakers are comfortable enough to wear all day, while a cross-body bag is large enough to hold all the items you'll need. Finally, accessorize with pieces like a colorful belt and matching necklace.

Scenario #2: Ready to Cool Off

This scenario has the same basic premise as Scenario #1, except this time, you're planning to go on all of the big water rides at the park, meaning you'll likely be drenched from head-to-toe... multiple times. You'll need an outfit that will keep you from looking like a soggy mess mid-way through the day.

What You'll Need:

  • Look for clothes made of quick-drying fabrics and avoid thick fabrics like denim, which take forever to dry.
  • A comfortable swimsuit to wear under your clothes, which will dry much faster than normal undies.
  • Comfortable, waterproof shoes. Don't wear shoes made of materials like leather and suede, which can get ruined when wet. Also, damp shoes and socks= no bueno.
  • A roomy bag that can hold an extra set of clothes if you need them. Another hands-free option to try is a lightweight backpack.

Outfit for Inspiration

Theme Park Outfit 2

Romper - Forever 21, Bikini - H&M, Bag - O'Neill, Sandals - Forever 21, Ring - AmRag, Earrings - Topshop

For this look, I started with a lightweight navy blue romper made from a water-resistant fabric. Underneath the romper, wear a patterned bandeau bikini and add some comfy sandals and a stylish backpack. Finally, add some unique jewelry like this ring and these earrings, which pick up on the colors found on the bikini.

Scenario #3: Making a Splash

You're going to spend the afternoon at a water park catching some rays, going on awesome water slides and scoping out cute boys. You need getup that will look good and be practical for a day in the water.

What You'll Need:

  • A stylish one-piece swimsuit, since bikini tops and bottoms tend to come off after going on water slides. If you insist on wearing a bikini, make sure it fits snugly!
  • A chic cover-up that you can wear to and from the park. (For more, see our post on cute cover-ups!)
  • A pair of flip flops are a necessity at water parks due to the fact that they're waterproof and easy to put on and off.
  • Some sunglasses to protect your eyes. Bring an inexpensive pair in case they get lost during the day.
  • An oversized beach bag to hold all the goodies you'll need, like a towel and change of clothes.

Outfit for Inspiration

Theme Park Outfit 3

Swimsuit - Forever 21, Coverup - Roxy, Bag - H&M, Sunglasses - Forever 21, Sandals - Athleta

For foolproof water park look, wear a pretty swimsuit in a bright color, like this one from Forever 21, and a stylish patterned coverup. Add some sunglasses, flip flops, and a fun graphic beach bag, and you'll be ready for a day in the sun.

Bonus! Items You Shouldn't Forget to Bring:

  • This should be a no-brainer, but remember to wear sunscreen to the park and bring a small bottle so you can reapply throughout the day.
  • Carry some extra hair ties because inevitably, you or someone you're with will need one.
  • A small bottle of Advil or a similar pain killer -- just in case!
  • If you wear them, an extra pair of contacts and a small bottle of solution. I'm speaking from personal experience here: Nothing is worse than losing one of your contacts at a theme park!
  • Remember to take some cash with you, because some vendors might not take a debit card. Bringing a set amount of cash can also help you keep track of how much you spend at the park.

What do you think?

Will you be visiting a theme park this summer? What do you normally wear at theme parks? Any tips you'd like to share? Remember to let me know what you think by leaving a comment!

Today I Learned . . . About College!

by and

Everyone knows we are serious trivia geeks here at CollegeXpress. We have a whole Amazing College Fact Machine dedicated to it! But we couldn’t stop there. When we learned about the juicy college tidbits below, we knew they were just begging to be illustrated. So that’s just what our friend, cartoonist Matt Bradshaw of Gerbil With a Jetpack fame, did.

TIL about Lord Byron and the bear

Lord Byron

To skirt the rules against students having dogs as pets at Trinity College in Cambridge, England, lauded and influential poet (and known hedonist) Lord Byron kept a tame bear instead. As he wrote to a friend in 1807, “I have got a new friend, the finest in the world, a tame Bear, when I bought him here, they asked me what I meant to do with him, and my reply was ‘he should sit for a fellowship.’”

TIL Steven Spielberg keeps racking up achievements . . .

Steven Spielberg

Despite having already revolutionized cinema, helming some of the biggest and most beloved blockbusters of all time, winning four Academy Awards and having been nominated for seven more (at the time), Steven Spielberg decided to add “college graduate” to his résumé. Saying he had wanted to finish his degree for many years, Spielberg went back to Cal State Long Beach after a 34-year hiatus. He wrote his final term paper and turned in Schindler’s List—for which he had won one of those Academy Awards—as his student film requirement. (Oh, he also already had five honorary doctorates by then too, but no biggie.)

TIL . . . so does Shaq

The legendary Shaquille O'Neal, fulfilling a promise he had made to his mother, also decided to go back to college to finish his degree. Of course, he already had plenty of accolades by that time, from Rookie of the Year to multiple All-Star MVP awards, but a promise is a promise! Coach Phil Jackson allowed him to miss a home game to attend his graduation ceremony from Louisiana State University in 2000. Also of note, Shaq earned his M.B.A from the University of Phoenix in 2005 and his Ed.D. from Barry University in Florida in 2012—and he says he wants to go to law school eventually!

TIL it pays to be from Kalamazoo

Kalamazoo Promise

A group of anonymous donors pays up to 100% of the tuition for graduates from any public high school in Kalamazoo, Michigan, attending a state college or university. (To receive the full tuition, students need to have attended a Kalamazoo public school since kindergarten, though there is a reduced—but still generous minimum 65%—scholarship for those who have attended a Kalamazoo public high school and graduated.) It's like having a tuition fairy sprinkling residents with sweet, sweet cash—but it's officially known as the Kalamazoo Promise. It’s been around since 2005, and as of 2010, the group had awarded $18 million in tuition.

TIL Anderson Cooper is watching us

Anderson Cooper

Journalist and television host Anderson Cooper spent two summers interning for the CIA. However, as everyone knows, instead of becoming a spy, he opted to pursue journalism (he studied political science at Yale), serving as a correspondent for ABC before going to CNN and eventually hosting such programs as Anderson Cooper 360°. Unless, of course, he’s been a spy this whole time . . .

Last week Tom Stoner, owner of Spoons Soup, Salads & Sandwiches, closed on a plot of land in Prospect Industrial Park. Now empty, it will soon house a 6,000-square-foot kitchen and office space to supply Stoner's five Fort Collins restaurant locations.

The first Spoons opened in May 2003 in the Northern Hotel, and the last one reopened Monday after more than a year of construction at the Lory Student Center.

Stoner and his fellow Fort Collins restaurant owners say Fort Collins has a particular draw, both regionally and nationally, for their industry. Many of them moved here specifically to open a business because of the vibrant student population, the central location along the Front Range and the high level of local activism and participation. Stoner joins the ranks of a handful of regional and national restaurateurs who started in Fort Collins and grew consciously.

MORE: More than half of FoCo restaurants owned by locals

QUIZ: What kind of FoCo foodie are you?

When he decided to open his second Spoons in Campus West, just months after the first one, it was for practical reasons.

"We had to borrow enough money to feed two families," he said of himself and his then business partner. "That was always the plan, to get two (restaurants) open."

Now Stoner says he is measured in the continued growth of his business. With the new kitchen's capacity, he is looking for opportunities for longtime employees to eventually own their own Spoons.

"The key with growth for me is growing only as fast as we can maintain quality," he said. "I'm not looking to slap a franchise label on (the restaurant)."

MORE: New restaurants to try in Fort Collins

Stoner came here from Hawaii, where he was working in resort restaurant kitchens. Big City Burrito owners Laurie and Howard Cadwell moved from San Francisco, and The Egg & I's Rayno and Patty Seaser moved from Arizona, where they had owned another breakfast concept.

"We moved to Fort Collins to do one restaurant, be active in our kids' lives and be active in the community," Rayno Seaser said. He now owns three restaurants in Fort Collins and Loveland and part of the Egg & I franchise, which has more than 100 locations around the country.

After starting The Egg & I in 1987, though, he opened a restaurant every two years until he was running five locations and a franchise.

Out of money and time, Seaser thought, "Wow, this is not what I want to do."

While Seaser's solution was to sell 90 percent of the franchise business and two of his five restaurants, other restaurateurs have been reluctant to hand off the reins of their concepts.

Twenty years ago, Laurie Cadwell opened Big City Burrito with her husband, Howard, and their business partner, George Lee. They now have seven more Big City franchises in Colorado and Nebraska, but initially, Cadwell said, "I was really resistant to the franchise idea, or doing another store. I wanted to be the one and only."

Now Cadwell says she focuses on her original Fort Collins location, while trying to check in on the franchises as much as possible.

When Seaser visits new Egg & I locations in Texas or Maine or Tennessee, "there are very few people with business models like ours," he said. But in Fort Collins, "all of the independent restaurants, anyway, have a conscience about being active in the community."

Stoner, for one, sells Stone Soup on weekends at the Larimer County Farmers Market, donating all of the proceeds to the Food Bank for Larimer County.

"We do as much as we can for the local community," Stoner said of Spoons' business model. "You can very easily get consumed running a restaurant."

Some more locally owned chains and franchises

Cheba Hut: Originally from Arizona, the sub shop is now based in Fort Collins with franchise locations in about 15 cities.

Hot Corner Concepts: The brand behind Austin's, The Moot House, Big Al's Burgers and Enzio's is locally owned and operated.

Silver Mine Subs: The fast-casual restaurant is headquartered in Fort Collins with franchises across five states.

The Rio Grande: The Mexican restaurant started in Fort Collins, and now there are six locations around Colorado.

Some regional chains and franchises in Fort Collins

Backcountry Delicatessen: The deli started in Steamboat Springs and now has five locations around Colorado.

Beau Jo's Pizza: The Colorado-style pizza institution started in Idaho Springs and now has eight locations in Colorado and South Dakota.

Blue Agave Grill: The new Southwestern restaurant is the fourth concept by Greeley-based owners, after Coyote's Southwestern Grill in Greeley and Palomino Mexican Restaurant in Evans and Loveland.

The Boot Grill: The live music, steak and burger joint started in Loveland and opened one other location in Fort Collins earlier this year.

Jax Fish House: Owned by Boulder-based Big Red F Restaurant Group, there are soon-to-be five Jax Fish Houses in Colorado and Missouri, four other restaurant concepts in Boulder and Denver, and one brewery, The Post Brewing Company, in Lafayette.

The Kitchen: With its most recent addition in Fort Collins and one on the way in Chicago, the Boulder-based restaurants now have three concepts across seven locations in Northern Colorado.

Lucile's: The Creole cafe started in 1980 in Boulder and now has five locations in Colorado.

The Mainline: The Ale House opened last summer in Fort Collins as the 10th concept by the owners of Wynkoop and Breckenridge breweries.

Moe's BBQ: The franchise started in Minturn and now has more than 30 stores across 10 states.

Noodles and Company: The fast-casual franchise started in Denver in 1995 and now includes more than 300 restaurants around the country.

Old Chicago: Founded in Boulder in 1976, the pizza restaurant boasting the World Beer Tour now has around 100 locations, with two in Fort Collins.

Snooze: The a.m. eatery is based in Denver, with nine locations in Colorado, California and Arizona.

Some national chains and franchises in Fort Collins

D.P. Dough: Amherst, Massachusetts

Fuzzy's Tacos: Fort Worth, Texas

HuHot Mongolia Grill: Missoula, Montana

Ingredient: Lawrence, Kansas

Rodizio Grill: Salt Lake City, Utah

The Fat Shack: Trenton, New Jersey (Fort Collins was the second location after the original store)

    Just sayin'.

  2. Conserv. Head Banger says:

    Somebody needs to pardon faux conservative Andrew for continuing to make asinine remarks.

  3. JohnInDenver says:

    Anyone know if there is a resolution for the House to vote on early in the new session, expressing disapproval of any member who has contempt for court orders?

  4. Genghis says:

    It's nice to see a sociopathic wingnut get a bit of well-deserved comeuppance. It happens far too infrequently. Little Timmy's attempted face hiding was a delightful Christmas gift.

  5. SuzieStrauss says:

    Hypocrite. Claims to be all about family values, but treats his ex-wife like dirt. Taking her back to court again on Feb 3 to ask courts to increase the child support SHE pays HIM!  Ludicrous.

The Fed is Data Dependant - Gold Price is Dollar Dependant

Rising gold holdings have been the one bright spot for the gold price that has held steady even in the face of weakness on the gold chart. The big question the market is going to be asking is can the Fed indeed hike rates at a pace that would send the US Dollar higher with all the negative side effects from that. Much depends on what the Forex markets do with the US Dollar.

Expect Physical Gold Backing of Currencies Within Next Decade

The whole precept that printing money is good, that somehow zero or negative interest rates are good, is totally fallacious. Unimaginable & yet somehow the investment public has bought into it. So probably in less than 10 years we will see physical assets backing currency. Of course, the most likely physical asset is gold.

What the drop dead date for the Volcker Rule might mean for Gold

Big trading banks traditionally have occupied the short side of the paper gold market. The Volcker Rule which limits banks’ speculative investments (including gold) goes into effect April 1, 2014. There has already been quite a bit of adjustment to bank portfolios & will get interesting as we move ahead.

Palin + McCain Equals More Bush

Published on
Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Palin + McCain Equals More Bush

WASHINGTON -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has awesome self-confidence. Chosen by fellow Republicans to be Sen. John McCain's running mate, she told an interviewer: "I'm ready." That confidence reflects her naivete about her role that puts her one heartbeat away from the presidency.

In accepting the nomination as veep, she invoked the greatness of President Truman, based on their small-town origins. But anyone who was around during Truman's era knows there is a world of difference between Palin and Truman. Take, for example, humility.

Truman was vice president for only a short time when on April 12, 1945, he was summoned to the White House and told the stunning news that President Franklin Roosevelt was dead. Truman and FDR were not close and Truman was not deeply familiar with the U.S. military plans for World War II. He also did not know about the atomic bomb.

As the nation's new leader, Truman wanted a few days to move into the White House. He understood the magnitude of his new job. The morning after being sworn in, Truman emerged from his Washington apartment to go to work on his first day as president. He took one look at the three wire service reporters who standing in front of his building.

"Boys," he said to the familiar faces, "the moon and the stars fell on me. If you ever prayed before, pray for me."

So when Palin says she is "ready," one thinks of the two U.S. wars under way in Iraq and Afghanistan -- and the devastating market crash on Wall Street.

There is no question that Palin has given a big lift to McCain and helped boost his ratings so that he's now virtually tied with Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee. As a team, McCain and Palin are on the same page. Both are pro-guns and anti-abortion. She is literally a rifle-toting mama, against sex education and has attempted to ban books she considers immoral from her hometown library.

But Palin's evangelical rigidity on social issues puts her out of step with the modern woman. She is said to be more reactionary than McCain -- if that's possible. Is it any wonder that activist feminist organizations have come out in support of Obama?

The new Republican ticket seems like the current White House tenant. Neither McCain nor Palin appear to have any significant doubts about President Bush's disastrous policies. Palin's gubernatorial tenure in Alaska is personified by massive firings when she took office. She does not tolerate dissent and shuns the media.

It seems clear to me that we would have another imperial presidency if McCain and Palin win the hearts and minds of the American people in the November balloting. Bob Woodward of The Washington Post has been privy to the workings of the Bush White House and has written four books to prove it. In his latest Book, "The War Within," Woodward depicts Bush as a "man of few doubts" who is "still following his gut, convinced that the path he has chosen is right."

Bush, who has switched from using the word "win" in speaking of Iraq to "succeed," has the gung ho McCain-Palin team behind him. The question is, why? Woodward also wrote that Bush was intolerant of confrontations and in-depth debate. He said Bush maintained an "odd detachment" in the management of the war in Iraq "and too often failed to lead."

Bush has never explained why he invaded Iraq -- a country that had no doomsday weapons and did us no harm. It's doubtful that McCain or Palin could explain Bush's mindless mission in the Middle East if they gained the White House.

Abstract Title: Laptop Usage In An Introductory Physics Class: A Tale Of The Haves And The Have-Nots
Abstract: Recently, some attention has been paid in the literature to the advantages and disadvantages of allowing students to use laptop computers in a classroom setting.  Previous studies have shown that laptops or tablet PCs can be used to promote active learning, but can also be a distraction to students.  [1]  If approximately half of students have access to a laptop and half do not, what impact will there be on student learning in an introductory physics class?  During a recent study, DyKnow software was utilized to facilitate increased student interaction with the professor, to share group work, and to push notes to the students using laptops during class.  The authors then utilized data from student surveys, a focus group session, and student performance data in order to compare the impact of utilizing laptops on student performance measures, and on student perceptions of the course.

Beyond the OSI model

Network layers are taking on more features and functions, which means network management planning must deal with protocol overlap challenges.

The 7-layer "OSI model" was born in the mid-1970s, when an organisation called the "CCITT" (Consultative Committee for International Telephony and Telegraphy, now the ITU-T) published a document called the "Basic Reference Model for Open Systems Interconnect." Over time, the higher layers of the model have been discussed less and less often, and some of the lower layers have been exploded into sub-layers.

But OSI terminology persists to this day, and many of the foundations of the model are as valid now as they were more than 30 years ago. Foremost among those "still-relevant" ideas is the notion of layered protocols.

The OSI model indicated that it was best and easiest to conceptualise a "network" as a set of layers whose structure compartmentalised issues and standards associated with specific missions. For example, the "Physical" layer (Layer 1) addresses the way network data is impressed on physical media like copper, fiber, or RF. A higher layer uses the facilities of the layer below it, which ensures that standards build on each other and don't replicate (or contradict) other work.

The model also created a boundary line. Layers one through three were "the network." Layers four through seven were resident with or in the user domain, and thus were consumers of the network. That boundary is as valid today as it was in 1974.

Layered protocols are important to network operators for two basic reasons: They allow operators to offer network services at different layers to match user/application requirements; and they allow for effective partitioning of network technology and planning/management issues. Protocol layers also introduce an interdependence of technology that may not be fully accommodated in the network management process, however, particularly in fault, configuration and performance management.

Finally, while virtually all networks have Layer 1 through 3 technology deployed, the technology at a given layer may be combined with that of higher layers into a single device, or divided so that each layer has its own independent device complement. This obviously raises the cost of equipment, and so requires some justification in service or operations benefits.

As protocols get smarter, where should functions live?

Historically, lower protocol layers (below Layer 3) have been relatively "dumb," and most functionality in the network necessarily migrated to higher layers. The maturation of standards like Carrier Ethernet (a Layer 2 architecture) have raised issues in managing layered networks about where specific functions/features should reside in the first place.

Provider Backbone Transport (PBT), for example, offers good traffic engineering and route management facilities. These are also offered by MPLS. In a network that implements IP over Ethernet, which layer does traffic engineering? The answer may lie in the specific benefits each layer can bring, but also in whether a decision to offer network services at a given layer carries an implication that layer will therefore have traffic management and QoS. A network that expects to offer QoS for Ethernet services cannot easily cede traffic engineering to MPLS because high-layer features are not available to layers below, only the other way around.

Optical enhancements such as reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADMs) and hybrid Optical/Ethernet switches have increased the intelligence of what was once a "dumb" set of pipes to the point where some network operators prefer to do fault recovery at the optical level and even to offer pure optical-based services.

The question of what services are to be offered from a network is fundamental to the decision of which layers to emphasise when building the network and which features are to be resident in which layers. A rich Layer 2 service set implies specific Layer 2 features will be needed, and some of these features may then reduce the need for comparable capabilities at Layer 3. However, it is also true that many Layer 2 services can be deployed over Layer 3 networks. IP pseudowires can mimic virtual circuits and leased lines, and VPNs can mimic virtual LANs. Thus, it may be that the traffic and revenue balance expected among the layers will make the final choice on how to deploy services.

The geographic scale of a network may also impact the decision of whether to build robust Layer 1 or 2 networking under a traditional IP (Layer 3) structure. Providing optical redundancy may mean creating ring structures or using ROADMs to create a reconfigurable optical network. This is practical in a confined metro geography, but less so on an international scale.

Problem management of any sort can be complicated to an almost catastrophic extent by layered protocols if care is not taken to avoid problems, beginning with network planning and focusing especially on management practices. Remember that according to OSI principles, any layer of the network uses only the services of the layer below. When a problem occurs, the failure is necessarily propagated up the stack, but the ability to remedy it may not be.

For example, a fiber cut is a failure of the physical medium, Layer 1, but it will break the data link (Layer 2) and also break the network connectivity (Layer 3). Worse, there may be several independent higher-layer connections running over the fiber, and each will be disrupted, generating alarms and possibly undertaking adaptive remediation measures. The resulting "alarm flap" can swamp an operations center.

Avoiding this kind of unhelpful interdependence requires careful design. The general rule is to allow error conditions to be recovered at the layer they occur, then escalate the recovery if that is not possible. This means setting higher-level recovery processes to "time out" over a longer period to allow the lower layers to respond. Fault correlation tools are also used to insure that redundant reports of higher-level failure are suppressed when the lower-layer fault has already been reported.

Equipment vendors' quest for feature differentiation and value augmentation has created more features at virtually every protocol layer in the network, and with this has come increased overlap in the role of the layers. The benefits of providing services and managing features at multiple protocol layers are sure to increase as a result of this, but so are the challenges of managing the growing interdependence and complexity.

Can we really trust Apple's iTunes?

Lock-in, lock-out or was it just an accident of history? FairPlay's in the dock.

can we really trust apples itunes
Credit: EMI PR 2007

Apple's in the dock, accused of using copyright protection to lock music fans into iTunes, even though the music labels demanded such protection in the first place.

A court case claims Apple wanted to stop third-party devices, services and software from accessing and using iTunes' DRM system, FairPlay.

In July 2004, Real Networks debuted Harmony -- software that converted files sold by its music store into a FairPlay-compatible format. Apple stopped the hack in its tracks.

Was this correct?

Music labels were frightened. File sharing was killing the industry. Jobs always argued iTunes helped "keep honest people honest." Apple had to invest in copy protection to sell music at all.

Fair play

Apple was under pressure. If it failed to keep iTunes secure, labels would stop selling music through it and might impose penalties. Apple was required by music labels to actively maintain and protect FairPlay DRM. If Apple had failed to end Harmony when it appeared, iTunes was finisihed.

Apple and the labels later agreed to sell music without copy protection via iTunes Plus, but not every label signed-up immediately.

EMI joined first, announcing its new spirit of liberalism at a big 2007 PR do hosted at its London HQ, which I attended. Apple CEO Steve Jobs and then-EMI CEO Eric Nicoli spoke, and Damon Albarn's band performed.

"Our goal is to give consumers the best possible digital music experience. By providing DRM-free downloads, we aim to address the lack of interoperability that is frustrating for many music fans. We believe that offering consumers the opportunity to buy higher quality tracks and listen to them on the device or platform of their choice will boost sales of digital music," said Nicoli at the time [Italics mine]. EMI research suggested 84 percent of online music customers would be happy to spend more on music if sold DRM-free at higher quality. "Higher-quality tracks outsell low-quality downloads by a factor of ten to one," he said.

'By the end of the year'

Jobs thought the other majors would join in fast: “We expect more than half of the songs on iTunes will be offered in iTunes Plus versions by the end of this year,” he said. It took two years.

That it took so long subverts the common argument that labels wanted to undermine iTunes by ensuring music sold through the service would play on other devices.

What had changed was recognition by labels that legal punishment of file-sharers wasn't preventing music from being stolen online. They needed to offer consumers a product equally as good as those being shared, and this meant music free of DRM. "DRM-free songs are far more popular than tracks sold with DRM applied," Wippit CEO, Paul Myers said.

"Apple has been a true pioneer in digital music, and we are delighted they share our vision of an interoperable market that provides consumers with greater choice, quality, convenience and value for money," said Nicoli.

Jobs addressed the lock-in accusation in 2007. "Some people doubted Apple's sincerity," he said. "They said we had too much to lose by breaking the link between the iPod and iTunes. We are continuing to do the right thing for the customers."

Nicoli was pragmatic: "We believe we have to trust our customers. The fact is that some will disappoint us by stealing our music, and we will continue to combat piracy. This move will make digital music more accessible."

When the history of music file protection is written, it will show the labels' attempts to litigate against file-sharing utterly failed. Apple's move to offer DRM-free music files actually helped the music industry rehabilitate itself. The locked-in nature of FairPlay was a by-product of industry fear, which maybe was exploited but ultimately abandoned in favor of trusting music fans more.

Mother Killed in Crash

A two-vehicle crash occurred early Sunday morning off of US 67, six miles north of Miles.

Troopers say, the driver of a Dodge Ram, a 22-year-old San Angelo man, was traveling on the wrong side of the road in the southbound lane of US 67, causing a collision with a Honda Civic. Upon collision, the Dodge rolled over multiple times, and the Civic traveled across the roadway into the shoulder.

According to Troopers, the 22-year-old is currently in stable condition.

The driver of the Civic, 35-year-old Brooke Abney, was pronounced dead at the scene. Trooper's say, Abney's two-year-old son was airlifted to Shannon Medical Center where he remains in critical condition.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation.

Treasure Trove Helps Fund Inova Prorams

Treasure Trove Helps Fund Inova Prorams

The Treasure Trove, a volunteer-operated organization has been serving the McLean community for over 40 years.

Located in Salona Village Center, the Treasure Trove is a thrift store staffed entirely by volunteers. Throughout the week, the Treasure Trove has 75 to 100 volunteers, with at least 10 volunteers manning the shop every day. The Treasure Trove, the first of three (the other stores are located in Annandale and Springfield), has been in the Salona Village Center for 40 years, after moving from another location on Old Dominion Drive.

With a large display window, the Treasure Trove lures customers in with its broad selection. Inside the store, there is an array of items including clothing, toys, jewelry, dishes and much more. Customers can also shop at the lower level of Treasure Trove for children’s clothing and board games.

"Customers can expect a surprise, and they sometimes won't even know they're in a consignment shop. It's a very homey atmosphere for the volunteers and the customers," said Brenda Counts, the full-time manager.

The volunteers are more than happy to help customers find exactly what they're looking for. Some of the volunteers have been working at the Treasure Trove for many years.

"I enjoy being with other people all the time. At the Treasure Trove I get to meet a lot of new people; it's a busy place, and we have a lot of customers. It's just nice," said Iva Froehlich, a volunteer at the Treasure Trove since it was created.

The Treasure Trove was created by the Inova Fairfax Hospital Auxiliary over 40 years ago to benefit the many programs the hospital has, such as a clinic for children needing immunizations, cancer research, Life with Cancer support, and radiological 3-D treatments. Recently the Treasure Trove has partnered with the Inova Fairfax Hospital Auxiliary to help raise $3 million for the Inova Heart Institute, a 156-bed, state-of-the-art cardiac facility and helped raise $1 million each for the Women’s and Children’s Center and the Physicians Conference Center.

"They raise the most money out of all the volunteer programs at Inova Fairfax Hospital, and the Treasure Trove makes very substantial donations which, in turn, help to make a difference here at the hospital," said Anne Coffey, a member of the Inova Fairfax Hospital Auxiliary.

People who wish to have their belongings priced by the staff at Treasure Trove are asked to call and schedule a consignment date. The staff at Treasure Trove has had more than 30 years’ experience with consignments. The minimum consignment value per item is currently $4.50, and the owner receives 60 percent of the proceeds.

"I’m very happy with the fact that all our profit benefits Inova Fairfax Hospital; we’ve been very good," said Froehlich.

People looking for items from the past will be delighted to find what they're looking for at the Treasure Trove.

The Treasure Trove is open Monday to Wednesday and Saturdays from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and Thursday and Friday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, call 703-356-8704, or e-mail

text: SIR Anthony Hopkins is returning to his native Wales to throw himself a 70th birthday party on New Year's Eve (31Dec07) - and the Oscar winner is inviting childhood friends he hasn't seen in 65 years. The Silence Of The Lambs star, who now lives in California, is also inviting Welsh celebrities including Catherine Zeta Jones, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey and actor Michael Sheen to the lavish bash. But Hopkins admits he's mostly looking forward to meeting up with his childhood chums. He says, "I'm going back to Wales to see people I haven't seen for 65 years - kids I used to play with in the street, my little girlfriends. "I saw them (girlfriends) recently just to make sure I'd remember them and I recognised all of them. We had a lunch for them in south Wales and sent out invitations and they came with their husbands. "It was amazing, I recognised all of them. It was great to see them all again."

Continuum is an extended family. Each of our team members combines expertise with passion, dedication with insight, and a genuine love of the vine. Tim is the leader and visionary but all of team Continuum is integral to building a First Growth.

Tim Mondavi - Partner

Tim Mondavi is the winegrower, visionary and creative force behind all aspects of Continuum Estate.  He has devoted his life’s work and passion to enhancing the art of wine.  In 1974, armed with a degree from UC Davis in viticulture & enology Tim joined the winemaking team at Robert Mondavi Winery.  It was there Tim guided wine research programs, led the development of Napa’s Appellation system and mentored many wine makers over the years. His first-hand experience in winegrowing extends to Italy, Chile, Australia and France where Tim developed, or was an integral part of, a number of luxury wines including Opus One in Napa, Ornellaia and Luce in Italy, and Sena in Chile.

Marcia Mondavi Borger - Partner

Marcia shares oversight of all aspects of Continuum with Tim. Marcia began her career in wine giving tours at Charles Krug Winery. With her family's founding of Robert Mondavi Winery (RMW) she worked in the cellar and lab and then moved into public relations and sales. She was responsible for many of the educational seminars and programs at RMW. In 1974 she moved to NYC to focus on bringing California wines to the East Coast market. Today she remains a passionate ambassador of the family vision for wine and food. She is thrilled to be (part-time) back in Napa Valley concentrating on Continuum. When not in New York or Napa, Marcia can be found traveling the world with her husband Tom, their children and friends.

Carissa Mondavi

C arissa plays a key role in Communications, Hospitality and in bringing Continuum to the market. She worked in the vineyards, cellar, as a Senior Wine Educator and in the Cultural Affairs Department of the Robert Mondavi Winery. Keen on liberating people’s experience with wine she is thrilled to be sharing her family story with others, and contributing to the realization of her father’s vision. In her free time Carissa enjoys music composition, yoga, hiking, cooking and dreaming of travel yet to come one day. Oh, and is pushing for a Bayla (her dog) web-cam on the Continuum website; that we all might be so inspired to run so exuberantly through the vines all the live-long day.

Carlo Mondavi

arlo Mondavi, a 4th generation vintner born and raised in Napa Valley, grew up close to his grandfather Robert and father Tim, both of whom influenced from early on. He credits them both as his greatest teachers. After his studies were complete Carlo worked with the winemaking team at Robert Mondavi Winery and Opus One. After the sale, Carlo joined his father, aunt and grandfather to initiate Continuum Estate. Today Carlo oversees all markets west of the Mississippi and key European markets including the UK for Continuum. In 2013 Carlo and his brother Dante founded their own winery, RAEN, to produce Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast.

Dante Mondavi

Dante Mondavi, born and raised in Napa Valley, learned about wine from early on following in his father, grandfather and sibling’s footsteps. From sorting fruit at Robert Mondavi Winery to rolling barrels at Opus One, to gathering pressure bomb samples in To-Kalon, Oakville and Stags Leap, he has learned on the job. Dante joined the Continuum team to assist his father in the winery for the first vintages and served as cellar master from 2005-2010. In 2011 Dante became Director of East Coast sales in both the U.S. and Canada for Continuum. In 2013 Dante and his brother Carlo founded their own winery, RAEN, to produce Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast.

Chiara Mondavi

Chiara Mondavi is a Napa Valley native. She grew up with her sister and brothers in the vineyards, climbing the big oaks and swimming in the Napa River. A graduate from the California College of Arts, Chiara’s art has graced Continuum from the beginning and serves as an inspiration to her father Tim as his work in the vineyard and winery inspire her. Chiara recently completed her associate’s degree in Viticulture and Enology and is now actively involved in both the vineyard and winery teams, where she works closely with her father Tim, Ryan in the field and Carrie in the cellar. In addition, Chiara is also involved in all design and art related matters for Continuum.
