Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

If you are considering purchasing a luxurious Hermes purse or high-quality replica, a little research could save you a great deal of grief. Understanding the trademarks of excellence and knowing how to recognize them will make your transaction just as authentic as the Hermes handbag you choose.锘縉EW YORK (AP) — Out of the ashes of has risen a vibrant neighborhood packed with new restaurants and hotels, places to live and spots to shop, along with many ways to pay respects to an area some worried would never come back.

A decade after the attack on the World Trade Center, Lower Manhattan draws roughly 9 million of the city's nearly 50 million visitors a year, including the area around ground zero.

The neighborhood now has 18 hotels with more than 4,000 rooms, up from six hotels and 2,300 rooms on Sept. 11, 2001. For many tourists, it's a must-see, right up there withTimes Square and the .

"It's a 24/7 neighborhood," said George Fertitta, chief executive of NYC & Company, the city's marketing and tourism arm. "It's a great moment in time for Lower Manhattan."

While local shopping, restaurants and other attractions abound, remembering 9/11 is the primary focus for many visitors. The new memorial at ground zero will open on the 10th anniversary of the tragedy. A museum will open at the site a year later under a glass atrium, taking visitors 70 feet down on gentle ramps to the very epicenter of what used to be "the pit."

Ans van de Pasch, 49, of Venlo in southeastern Holland, first visited ground zero three years ago, peeking through masked fences like thousands of others. This summer, the site is more visible and she brought her husband and two teens.

"There's a different spirit. You can feel the community is back," Pasch said as they walked through the nearby St. Paul's Chapel, where weary firefighters, police and volunteer rescuers sought refuge during their desperate work in 2001.

She wanted her kids to see the ground zero area for themselves. "It's very necessary that you can have one moment in your life when you let yourself, as a citizen of the world, stop and think, 'This must never happen again.'"

Here are some details on visiting the memorial, along with suggestions for other things to do in Lower Manhattan, from intimate tours offered by the September 11 Families' Association to shopping, parks and restaurants.

NATIONAL SEPTEMBER 11 MEMORIAL & MUSEUM: The memorial is a big reveal years in the making. Created by design competition winner Michael Arad, who partnered with California landscape architect Peter Walker, it takes up about half of the 16-acre site. Additional office buildings and a new transit hub remain under construction with the museum.

The memorial will be dedicated on Sept. 11 during a ceremony for victims' families. It opens to the public the following day.

"The fact that this memorial outlines the very footprints where these towers stood sends a message to the world of what we lost that day and how we've come together," said 9/11 Memorial President Joe Daniels.

On the twin footprints of the towers are gentle waterfalls that empty into massive reflecting pools edged by bronze parapets with the names of the 2,983 people killed on 9/11 in New York, in a field near Shanksville, Pa., and at the Pentagon, along with victims of the 1993 bombing at the World Trade Center.

"Could they do it again?" asks 9-year-old Grisham Aleshire of Springfield, Mo., looking out at the construction where the fallen towers stood. "They have lots of security now," mom Tia reassures.

When the memorial opens, 225 swamp white oak trees will have been planted around the site. More than 400 are planned overall, creating an urban grove. On the west side of the south pool, bordering a small clearing called the memorial glade, stands the "survivor tree." It's a Callery pear rescued from the rubble and nursed back to health in the Bronx, only to be struck by lightning and survive again last year. President Obama laid a wreath at the tree in May, and new growth on branches that were once almost entirely shorn are thriving.

Access to the site can be confusing as construction continues. Many subway stops, including those at Chambers and Fulton streets, will bring you nearby. Timed tickets (free but required) can be reserved up to six months in advance at . About 250,000 passes have already been reserved. Print your tickets beforehand if you can. Enter at the northeast corner of Albany and Greenwich streets for check-in no more than 30 minutes ahead of your reservation.

Through Jan. 8, the memorial is open 10 a.m. to last entry at 7 p.m. weekdays; 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekends; last entry at 5 p.m. Jan. 9-March 10.

No restrooms will be available on site until the museum opens in September 2012. The World Financial Center's glass-enclosed Winter Garden has public restrooms and there are some on the second floor of theBurger King on Liberty Street at Church.

TOURS: The September 11 Families' Association offers intimate tours led by survivors, 9/11 workers and loved ones of those who perished.

锘緼 group of activists stripped nakedThursday in front of the site of the upcoming Republican NationalConvention, demanding that make good on his promiseto help -positive people in underdeveloped countries.

Two members of ACT UP climbed atop a parked rig on West 33rdStreet opposite and held a sign reading "W:Drop the Debt. Stop AIDS." Protest organizer Eustacia Smith, 36,said the two were arrested along with nine others.

They were arrested after standing in the buff for about 10minutes, their bodies painted with the same inscription, their armslocked and chanting "Drop the Debt. Stop AIDS."

"Countries are spending all the money they have on paying offdebt ... when they could be spending that money on prevention ofHIV," said Smith, a social worker in Brooklyn.

Other naked protesters escaped arrest by quickly putting ontheir clothes and walking away, Smith said.

Another activist, 40-year-old Kris Hermes, said the group stagedthe protest four days before the Republican convention begins, tomake sure their message didn't get "drowned out" by what isexpected to be a barrage of protests.

The charges against the protesters were not immediately releasedby police.锘?p>Alice C. Steinbach, the first woman to win the for The Baltimore Sun, whose work captured the wonder and grace of people and places around the world, died Tuesday of at her Place home. She was 78.

In her more than two-decade career with The Baltimore Sun, Ms. Steinbach took readers into close communion with her detailed profiles of the rich and famous from the world of entertainment, literature, politics, society and the arts. In a later career as a travel writer, her work took readers on strolls through places like the colorful back streets of Paris' Left Bank or, as she wrote, "the impossibly crowded Uffizi art gallery" in Florence.

"Life was always an adventure for her, and when she discovered things about the world, she discovered things about herself," said John S. Carroll, who was editor of The Sun from 1991 to 2000. "I always admired her and her abilities.

"When I look back, she was never satisfied or sat on her laurels. After she won the Pulitzer, she found new things to write about and then began writing books."

The daughter of a homemaker and a merchant mariner who was lost at sea during , Alice Carter was born in Baltimore and raised in Edmondson Village. She was a 1951 graduate of Western High School. In the early 1970s she worked as director of publicity at the .

"She always loved to read and write, and was a self-taught journalist. She never went to college or studied journalism," said a son, Sam Steinbach of Redmond, Wash. "She started writing freelance articles for Art In America magazine and other publications, which eventually led to an offer of a job at The Sun."

She was hired in 1981 as a writer in The Sun's features department. She also wrote a weekly bylined column during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Ms. Steinbach, who had an ear for the off-beat anecdote, relished in writing detailed, subtle and nuanced profiles of individuals.

"Alice showed that the pursuit of great journalism involves a certain fearlessness," said Mary J. Corey, The Sun's top editor and a friend since the two worked together on the newspaper's features staff. "She was a trailblazer, not just for women in the industry, but for journalists everywhere. She wrote like a dream, and I'd study her work — how her stories were structured, where she chose to begin. Her success made me, and many others, see that there didn't need to be a glass ceiling for women in this field."

Ms. Steinbach won the Pulitzer Prize in 1985 for feature writing for her article about the courageous and inspirational saga of Calvin Stanley Jr., a 10-year-old Northwest Baltimore resident who had been blind from birth. In "A Boy of Unusual Vision," she told the story of young Calvin, who watched TV, played video games and rode bicycles, and how the sighted had patiently "created a special world for Calvin's inner eye to inhabit."

The article began: "First the eyes: They are large and blue, a light, opaque blue, the color of a robin's egg. And if, on a sunny spring day, you look straight into those eyes — eyes that cannot look back at you — the sharp April light turns them pale, like the thin blue of a high, cloudless sky."

Ms. Steinbach's other interview subjects included U.S. first ladies, Yves Saint Laurent, Barbara Walters, William Manchester, , Diane Rehm, Hamilton Jordan, Jody Powell and Betty Friedan.

"Despite her silence, became over the years a screen onto which we projected many images: martyr, gold digger, socialite, and more recently, the betrayed wife of a womanizing president," Ms. Steinbach wrote in a 1994 profile of the former first lady. "If she had been hurt by some of the millions of words written about her, she has never expressed it."

During 's trial in 1995, she traveled to Los Angeles to research and write a profile of , who was covering the trial for Vanity Fair.

Sitting in Morton's, then a fashionable West Hollywood watering hole, Ms. Steinbach observed that throughout the evening, a "steady stream of deeply tanned men and glamorous women carrying $2,000 Hermes pocketbooks" paid obeisance to Mr. Dunne in an atmosphere that was redolent with "the sweet smell of excess."

She quoted Dunne recounting how the trial had everything one could want in a story: "Rich people, big houses, interracial marriage, love, sex, lies, fame. And all the justice money can buy."

"Alice had an extraordinary gift for storytelling," said Jan B. Warrington, who had been Ms. Steinbach's editor and is now a Baltimore County psychologist.

"She was a careful observer of the world, and she had a great curiosity about human behavior, and most of all, she genuinely loved the craft of writing. Her people profiles in the Sunday Sun in the '80s were so popular with readers; they were showcase pieces."

She added: "What I'll always remember, too, is that she was always just Alice; no need for a last name when referring to her. Everyone knew who Alice was — a great lady, a Baltimore Sun legend and treasure."

When Ms. Steinbach left the newspaper in 1999, she lived and traveled abroad and lectured widely. She was the McGraw Professor of Writing at , where she was also a visiting fellow.

She also returned to freelance writing, with her work published in newspapers that included , , Philadelphia Inquirer and Boston Globe.

Her worldwide travels and intimate knowledge of London, Paris, Rome, Venice, Florence and Kyoto seemed to fuel her pieces.

"Alice knew everything, from the back door of the Ritz Hotel in Paris, where walked out for the last time alive, to all the lobbies and ladies' rooms of Venice hotels," said Sandra A. Banisky, The Sun's former deputy managing editor for news.

Ms. Steinbach was the author of three books: "The Miss Dennis School of Writing: And Other Lessons from a Woman's Life," "Without Reservations: The Travels of an Independent Woman" and "Educating Alice: Adventures of a Curious Woman." She was also a collector of vintage photographs and Japanese woodblock prints and etchings.

A longtime Roland Park resident, Ms. Steinbach wrote in a profile for Barnes & Noble that there were "three things in life that never let me down. I call them 'the three C's': children, cats and coffee."

The family plans a memorial service at 3 p.m. Sunday at Stony Run Friends Meeting House, 5116 N.

In addition to her son, she is survived by another son, Andy Steinbach of Eindhoven, The Netherlands; a brother, Shelby H. Carter of Austin, Texas; and two grandchildren. Her marriage to Irvin Steinbach ended in divorce.

锘?br> LONDON (Reuters) - Investors rushing headlong to emerging markets in search of yield could find future returns under threat as economic downturns and income inequalities spur a rise in political risks.

Emerging markets have been the global success story of the past decade, with booming growth and huge investments eroding old memories of the coups, debt defaults and hyperinflation associated with these countries throughout the 20th century.

This year investors fleeing near-zero yields on "safe" Western bonds have propelled $50 billion into emerging stocks and bonds, according to fund tracker EPFR Global.

Governments and companies in emerging economies are set for a record-breaking year of bond sales as investors stampede to lend even to countries such as and Guatemala which are rated as junk by credit agencies.

On the face of it the enthusiasm seems justified.

Debt levels are a fraction of the norm in developed markets and growth is faster, yet yields are robust. While risk premia have plunged over the decade, emerging sovereign dollar bonds pay an average 3 percentage points over U.S. Treasuries.

Yet many such as Greg Saichin, head of emerging debt at Pioneer Investments, reckon premia in many markets no longer compensate for risks simmering just beneath the surface.

This week geo-political risk has escalated in the Middle East with Turkey embroiled in the Syrian conflict, while in violent labor protests are spreading.

Anti- protests in , rural insurgency in and unprecedented anti-Kremlin demonstrations in this year are all symptoms of a coming storm, many risk watchers say.

"People look at indebtedness ratios, debt maturity profiles, growth differentials (in emerging markets) and say it's a no brainer, you are getting paid 2 percentage points more than elsewhere," says Saichin, who oversees $3.4 billion.

"But there is a lot of complacency in the market in terms of politics and what may happen with sovereign risk."

Many will argue, quite correctly, that risk, whether geo-political or corporate governance, has always been part of the deal in emerging markets. And recent riots in Spain and Greece show that the West now has plenty of political risk of its own.

Yet never before has so much money been at stake.

Bricks-and-mortar direct investment to emerging markets has tripled since 2000 to $6 trillion. And $250 billion has flowed to emerging equities since Boston-based EPFR started compiling data in 2006. Bond flows since 2003 total $125 billion, it says.

Rewards have been ample. Equity returns in the past decade are close to 350 percent, data shows, while emerging dollar bonds have earned 225 percent.

But much of those gains coincided with rock-bottom U.S. yields, which have been driven even lower by waves of money-printing.

"When we see U.S. spreads snapping back up, a lot of sovereign risk pressures which are subdued at the moment will start to come into focus again," Saichin said. "When spreads do normalize, there would be a very violent normalization."

UNEQUAL INCOMES

As with last year's , political upheavals are usually a consequence of years of economic hardship yet often catch investors by surprise, wiping big chunks off portfolios.

锘?p>COLD SPRING ? The St. Cloud Tech girls tennis team earned its 21st Central Lakes Conference title Thursday afternoon with a 7-0 win over Rocori.

It's the first conference title for the Tigers (10-0 CLC, 12-1 overall) since 2010.

LONG PRAIRIE ? Lexi Larson, Nikki Szech, Brooklyn Levin and Abbey Ecker all won their singles matches to lead the Thunder to the win. LP-GE/U-SA improved to 7-9 overall with the victory.

Pierz's Shelbie Boser and Steph Brill earned a 7-5, 6-2 win over Jenna Abraham and Payton Long.

NEW LONDON-SPICER 4, ST. CLOUD CATHEDRAL 3

NEW LONDON ? Three of the matches went to third-set tiebreakers with the Wildcats winning two of the three to edge the Crusaders in nonconference play.

FOLEY INVITATIONAL

FOLEY ? Charlie Lawrence of Foley won the boys race with a time of 15 minutes, 47 seconds, but the Falcons finished fourth as a team.

Princeton won the boys team race with 39 points and the girls race with 30 points. The Milaca girls took second with 40 points.

Bethany Coop of Mora won the girls race with a time of 15:38. Abby Genereau placed the highest for the Foley girls, coming in 22nd place with a time of 19:23.

Boys team scores: 1. Princeton 39; 2. Mora 46; 3. Foley 55; 4. Milaca 96.

Girls team scores: 1. Princeton 30; 2. Milaca 40; 3. Mora 57; 4. Mora 57; 5. Foley 120.

HL-W-W INVITATIONAL

HOWARD LAKE ? The Holdingford girls finished first and the boys placed second at the Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted Invitational.

The Huskers earned spots 2-5 in the girls race led by sophomore Emily Wolter, who finished in 16:10. Freshman Hannah Truniger of Lester Prairie-Holy Trinity won the race in 15:19.

For the boys, Holdingford sophomores Abe Skwira and Andrew Zachman finished in second and third place, respectively.

锘?p>After more than two hours of lining up against the Beeville Trojans, the Victoria West Warriors had the additional task of doing 34 post-game jumping jacks in the locker room.

This may appear to be a chore after the physical challenge that comes with playing football, but it's not after a win.

Senior quarterback Garrett Rother had 109 yards rushing and passing while the Warriors defense and special teams forced three turnovers to help West open District 30-4A play with a 34-10 win over the Trojans on Friday at Memorial Stadium.

"It's the best feeling ever," said senior offensive lineman Jonathan Vahalik. "Extra work after you do your work, but it's worth it."

The win improves West's overall record to 4-1 while Beeville falls to 2-4 and 0-2 in district play.

The Warriors got their first district win since beating Floresville on Oct. 15, 2010.

"Every year, whoever wins this game usually gets in the playoffs," said West head coach Leonard McAngus. "I don't know what the future holds, but I promise you this is a big step toward that. We've still got five more to go and we'll take them one game at a time."

The previous two meetings between West and Beeville were decided by a total of nine points. On Friday, the Warriors made sure there would be no dramatics by scoring 28 unanswered points in the second and third quarters.

Rother finished the night completing 4-of-6 passes for 79 yards, including touchdown passes to Jacob Armstrong and Malcolm Peoples. Junior tailback Qualian Bryant led the Warriors ground game with 66 yards on 14 attempts and a touchdown.

Six different West rushers combined for 261 yards.

"It doesn't matter who gets the ball, let's get it in the end zone," McAngus said. "That's the main thing."

As a wide receiver, Armstrong hasn't had many rushing attempts this season, but when he did against Beeville, he came up big.

After Beeville scored to cut the West lead to 6-3, the Warriors had to respond and kept the Trojans from building momentum.

On 2nd and 11, Armstrong took an end around, cut outside and avoided a David Garcia shoestring tackle attempt to score a 72-yard touchdown.

"It doesn't suprise me," McAngus said. "He's a hard runner, he's a hard guy to bring down."

Garcia's dive came at the Beeville 23-yard line. Although he stumbled a bit, Armstrong regained his balance to get his second score of the night.

"I thought I was going to go down, but I just caught my balance and kept going," Armstrong said.

The touchdown came on Armstrong's third carry of the season.

Rother found Armstrong for a 10-yard pass on West's first drive of the game to get the Warriors on the board.

"Me and Garrett have really joined together the last two years and we've just become brothers," Armstrong said.

锘縃igh-profile cases like the one involving provide a window into America's justicesystem.

In fact, the Stewart case is a textbook example ofall that's wrong with the system. As a civillitigation attorney in , Ohio, and federalinmate No. 65078-061, my criminal legal odyssey, whichended in 1999 with a 38-month federal prison sentence,began much like Stewart's -- when a "target letter" from anassistant U.S. attorney was delivered to my Ohio homevia the .

By looking at the six-week Stewart trial, the verdict on Fridayand the June sentencing -- with their collateralconsequences ? the inherent problems of "The War onWhite Collars," waged by the under Attorney General , become apparent.

Beginning the moment the called in Stewart for ameeting, her chances of not ending up in prisondropped to 5 percent. According to the 2001 Compendiumof Federal Justice Statistics by the JusticeDepartment, 95 percent of all federal charges end in aconviction -- whether through a plea bargain or guiltyverdict at trial.

With only a 5 percent chance of securing an acquittal,most white-collar federal defendants opt for a guiltyplea to minimize their risks of a long prisonsentence. Samuel D. Waksal and Andrew S. Fastow andhis wife, Lea Fastow, of Enron Corp. fame are primeexamples of this phenomenon.

Waksal, the jet-setting scientist and entrepreneur whofounded , is serving a prison termof more than seven years after pleading guilty tosecurities fraud charges related to his sale of 4,000shares in December 2001. In his plea, Waksal did notimplicate his friend Stewart.

Andrew Fastow, Enron's former chief financial officer,is serving a 10-year prison term after pleading guiltylast month to charges related to the energy-trader'sdebacle. His wife has been sentenced to five months inprison and a year of supervised release on chargesstemming from filing false tax returns from 1997 to2000. She was Enron's assistant treasurer.

As a former stockbroker and one of the nation'smost-successful entrepreneurs, Stewart's first mistakewas putting her fate in the hands of a lawyer. IfStewart was going to go to trial, she should havetaken control of her own defense just has she hascontrolled her company, Martha Stewart Omnimedia Inc.No one knows their case better than the defendant.

A failed strategy

It was clear from the start that things were not atall copasetic in the Stewart camp. Her attorney,Robert Morvillo, may be the best white-collar defenselawyer money can buy, but this case wasn't about thelaw: It was about America's criminalization of moraland ethical issues.

Stewart's best chance at winning over the jury ofeight women and four men was lost when she walked intoU.S. District Court in carrying HermesBerkin bag instead of a Kmart Corp. Accessory Worksbag. Clearly, if stupidity were a crime underAmerica's conspiracy laws, her image consultants wouldbe facing a 20-year prison sentence, too.

On one hand, you had Morvillo telling the jury thatthey should trust his client, and on the other handnot a single juror qualified as one of Stewart'speers. While the U.S. Constitution guarantees eachAmerican charged with a crime a jury of her peers, thereality is that the possibility of finding enoughmillionaires to create a jury pool is virtually zero.

Instead of Morvillo focusing the jury's attention onwhat they had in common with Stewart, his questionspointed out a stark contrast in the wealth disparitybetween Stewart and the "jury of her peers."

For instance, in his closing argument last weekMorvillo implored the jury to let Stewart go free suchthat she might get back to her life saying, "? andthat would be a good thing."

In doing this, Morvillo alienated jurors by inferringthat even if Stewart had made a mistake, it did notmatter because it would benefit all Americans if hisclient could return to her privileged life asAmerica's domestic doyenne in order to perpetuate alifestyle that they, the jury, then could emulate.

Stewart should have put on a Jaclyn Smith suit fromKmart and testified in her own defense. Even thoughsome would argue that Morvillo was right to keep heroff the stand, Martha Stewart clearly knows how topackage and sell Martha Stewart to the America thatcomprises the "jury of her peers."

The human factor

Federal defense attorneys, for the most part, simplydo not understand the federal prison reality. Whatthey do understand, however, is collecting their hugefees upfront, because there is a 95 percent chancetheir client is headed to prison. Even those federaldefense attorneys like Morvillo who clearly understandthe law do not understand the role humandynamics plays in jury decisions.

Morvillo ignored the fact that Stewart, regardless ofwhether she is guilty or not, is a human commodity. His decision to not let her testify disconnects herfrom the typical consumer of her products, who alsowere the "jury of her peers." At no time was MarthaStewart, the person, allowed to connect ? on any level-- with her jury.

锘?p>Campaigners, including Hermes fund manager David Pitt-Watson, today called on the City of London Corporation to take a tougher line on the failings of the financial services industry in order to help restore the reputation of the Square Mile.

The so-called City Reform Group is launching with backing across the political divide including Institute of Directors boss Simon Walker, MP David Davis as well as Pitt-Watson himself, a former assistant general secretary of the and advisor to former Prime Minister .

The CRG is calling on those standing for election to the corporation -- which has 100 so-called "common councillors" across 25 wards -- to take a pledge to promote responsible best practice as well as "not be afraid to speak out when we encounter practice that falls below the highest standards".

"We want the corporation to take a leadership role and break the bad news as well as champion the City internationally," said the Reverend William Taylor, a former common councillor on the corporation for seven years and CRG backer.

He added: "People do not feel that financial services are being run in their interests.

The group has also committed to be more transparent on the corporation's accounts, and said that a share of the cash it spends on promoting itself overseas through the office of the Lord Mayor should instead be spent on "examining, monitoring and regulating itself" at home.

锘?p>Diamond baubles from Cartier glittering in one window, Louis Vuitton's signature leather bags beckoning from across the street and another storefront displaying ' silk scarves.

Within months this is the scene that will greet visitors to Miami's Design District, as the neighborhood begins its dramatic metamorphosis into the new hot spot for luxury shopping.

Cartier and have just opened their doors. Louis Vuitton will do so on Oct. 19. Hermes and Men are under construction. Right behind that will be Pucci. By the time and the holiday shopping season arrive, there should be 8 to 10 luxury brands lining the Design District's Northeast 40th Street corridor.

These openings are a sign of Miami's ascent as a fashion destination.

"For most luxury brands Miami is one of the top three markets in , along with New York and Los Angeles," said Valerie Chapoulaud-Floquet, president and chief executive officer of Louis Vuitton North America. "The Miami market has grown quicker than the rest of North America."

For decades the Bal Harbour Shops offered the only option for luxury in Miami-Dade County. But no longer is having one store in the market enough for these luxury brands.

"Miami has been under retailed for luxury because of the strength of the local market and the strong growth of tourists coming to Miami," said Emmanuel Perrin, president and chief executive officer of Cartier North America. "This market can support several Cartier boutiques. It was just a question of time before the luxury market evolved. Everyone has been waiting for the right project to come along."

Louis Vuitton and Cartier both left Bal Harbour Shops last summer because the mall didn't have the space for them to expand. The retailers were also prohibited from opening a second store within 20 miles unless Bal Harbour's owners got a piece of the new store's revenue.

Now, Louis Vuitton already has opened another store at Mall and Cartier is assessing the market. It's all part of an unfolding game of musical chairs that ends the monopoly of Bal Harbour, which has controlled the luxury retail market since 1965.

By 2014, developer Craig Robins expects to have 40 to 50 luxury brands spread throughout the Design District, creating a new urban destination for fashionistas. Already committed to the area are about 30 tenants, including , Bulgari, Pucci, De Beers, Zegna, Tom Ford, Burberry and Marc by . They will join the district's original fashion tenants Christian Louboutin, and Martin Margiela.

"We're starting to build critical mass," Robins said. "We continue to find that more and more brands are interested in coming. This is an exciting moment for the Design District. People are going to feel the transition and the power of integrating fashion with art, design and food."

Many of the brands are giving up space at Bal Harbour, which the International Council of Shopping Center recently designated the top producing mall in the world. But they say they don't believe the move will have any negative impact on their business.

"We have made a seamless transition," said Vira V. Capeci, president of Celine. "Our clients have followed us to this exciting location."

Right now, Cartier's name sparkling against the backdrop of a bronze storefront may look a little out of place as the area undergoes a transition. But soon Louis Vuitton will make a dramatic statement across the street with a storefront covered by an original work of art from graffiti artist Marquis Lewis, known as RETNA.

There may be growing pains in this gentrifying neighborhood. Will consumers be willing to spend thousands of dollars on jewelry, handbags and clothes just a few blocks away from some of Miami's more impoverished neighborhoods?

At Cartier a security guard stands close by watching over an offering that includes a rare yellow diamond and a $310,000, diamond-encrusted panther pendant and necklace.

"I like the idea of an urban neighborhood where you have crackheads here and Cartier over there," said Denia Roth, a Miami resident who was lunching this week at Michael's Genuine in the Design District. "The diversity brings everyone together."

The retailers have more freedom to design the look of their stores and open bigger showrooms featuring a wider variety of offerings. Cartier's new store is three times larger than what it had at Bal Harbour.

And these stores are only the beginning. Cartier and Louis Vuitton are among several brands opening temporary locations, until they can design and build flagship stores. When these stores open in 2014, they're expected to be among the brands' largest stores in the U.S. outside of .

"We want to take our client experience to the next level and serve our clients in comfort," Perrin said.

Louis Vuitton felt it was important to get into the Design District early.

"We like to be part of building a story, it's part of our pioneering spirit," Chapoulaud-Floquet said. "We think we're going to be able to communicate with a very different clientele that is younger, more trendy and much more open to art and culture."

Although it's been a year since Louis Vuitton and others started leaving Bal Harbour, operating partner Matthew Whitman Lazenby says same store sales continue to grow -- up 16 percent for the first six months of the year compared to last year.

But Lazenby says his family has had a change of heart about allowing tenants to remain at Bal Harbour and still open a second location in Miami-Dade County.

"You can't deny there has been demand expressed by more than one tenant," Lazenby said. "Miami has reached the point in its evolution where more than one store can be sustained. We are adapting to the marketplace and trying to accommodate the needs of our tenants." ___

锘?p>The Air Academy High School boys tennis team was as good as advertised Friday. But some local players from Central deserve to be singled out, too.

Air Academy leads the team race with 70 points, while Central is a distance second at 39 points. The Wildcats did have a superb showing in singles as Steven Alcala (No. 1), Dakota Burns (No. 2) and Dante Alcala (No. 3), Steven's younger brother, advanced to the finals.

"My kids came to play and that's what we wanted to get from our singles players," Central coach Russ Guerrero said.

The Kadets advanced Taylor Ball (No. 2 singles), Keenan Kaltenbacher (No. 2), Jase Wyeno-Mickey Martin (No. 1 doubles), Jeff Milliman-Kent Schaller (No. 2), Everett Valtin-Naish Gaubatz (No. 3) and Matt Ryan-Michael Sheldon (No. 4) into today's finals.

"I thought we performed well as a team," Air Academy coach Ron Gorr said. "We had some tough matches and competed everywhere."

Central senior Steven Alcala had the most dramatic win of the tourney as he upset No. 2 seed Kollen Kaltenbacher

of Air Academy 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 in the semis. Alcala lost in three sets to Kaltenbacher at the South Invite Sept. 22.

"I had a lot better day with my passing shots and I was lobbing a lot better, which also really helped me," Steven said.

Gorr wasn't making any excuses for Kollen Kaltenbacher.

"That was an intense match and a fun one to watch and it got a lot of people involved," Gorr said.

Alcala will face South's Brendon Bravo in the finals at 12:30 p.m. today.

The start time was moved from 9 a.m. because of cold, wet weather in the morning forecast.

"I'm excited about getting to the finals and I will try my best and see what happens," Bravo said.

Pueblo West, which is third in the team chase, was led by its doubles teams -- Steven Gonzales-Steven Coy (No. 2), Kitrick Ortiz-Alessandro Cerizza (No. 3) and Mitch Hermes-Greg Wakefield (No. 4) are all in the finals.

锘?br> BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese police, working with U.S. authorities, have arrested 73 people for manufacturing and exporting fake international brands including Hermes , LVMH's Louis Vuitton and , state news agency Xinhua said.

Police also confiscated more than 20,000 counterfeit bags and closed 37 illegal sites used for the production and sale of the bags, Xinhua said late on Sunday, citing a Ministry of Public Security statement.

The gang had manufactured and sold more than 960,000 such fake bags, it added.

Officials in the southern export hub of Guangdong province began uncovering the ring in January which was producing and exporting huge amounts of fake goods, the report said.

"The (public security) ministry soon exchanged the information with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and proposed a joint investigation," it added.

Police later discovered other production sites in the eastern provinces of Fujian and Anhui, Xinhua said.

Foreign governments, including the United States, have for years urged to take a stronger stand against violations of intellectual property rights on products ranging from medicines to software to DVD movies.

The United States in April again put China, along with Russia, on its annual list of countries with the worst records of preventing the theft of copyrighted material and other intellectual property.

China insists it is serious about tackling the problem.

The country's top official in charge of fighting copyright piracy this month slammed what he said was deliberate distortion of the problem by the Western media caused by the country's poor global image, saying important facts had been ignored.

锘縈INNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minnesota doctor took offense when a patient's son posted critical remarks about him on some rate-your-doctor websites, including a comment by a nurse who purportedly called the physician "a real tool."

So Dr. David McKee had an unusually aggressive response: He sued the son for defamation. The Duluth neurologist's improbable case has advanced all the way to the Minnesota Supreme Court, which is weighing whether the lawsuit should go to trial.

"His reputation is at stake. He does not want to be a target for false and malicious remarks," said his lawyer, Marshall Tanick.

McKee's case highlights the tension that sometimes develops on websites such as Yelp and Angie's List when the free speech rights of patients and their families clash with the rights of doctors, lawyers and other professionals to protect their good names.

"Patients now have power to affect their businesses in ways they never had," said Eric Goldman, a professor at the Santa Clara University School of Law who studies the issue. Health care providers are "evolving how to deal with patient feedback, but they're still in the process of learning how to do that."

Most online reviews never provoke any response. And successful challenges to negative reviews are rare. Americans are legally entitled to express opinions, as long as they don't knowingly make false statements.

But if the two sides contest basic facts, disputes can swiftly escalate.

At issue are six of Dennis Laurion's statements, including the account of the nurse's name calling. McKee and his attorney say the unnamed nurse doesn't exist and that Laurion invented her to hide behind. Laurion maintains she is real, but he can't recall her name.

In arguments before the court in September, Laurion attorney John Kelly said his client's statements were legally protected opinion that conveyed dismay over how McKee treated Laurion's father, who had suffered a stroke. The posts described a single visit that lasted 10 to 15 minutes.

The review said McKee seemed upset that after Laurion's father had been moved from intensive care to a regular hospital room, the doctor "had to spend time finding out if you transferred or died."

Laurion also complained that McKee treated them brusquely and was insensitive to the family's concerns about the patient being seen in public in a gown that gaped open in the back.

In an interview, Kelly said nothing Laurion posted was defamatory — a false statement that harms a person's reputation.

The court is expected to rule on the case sometime in the next few months.

Lawsuits over professional reviews are uncommon in part because most patients write positive reviews, Goldman said. And many states have passed laws that block the kind of lawsuits that are filed mainly to scare someone into shutting up on matters of public concern.

Known as "strategic lawsuits against public participation," those complaints are often forbidden by broad laws that protect criticism even if it's wrong, Goldman said.

When health care providers do sue, they rarely succeed. Of 28 such lawsuits that Goldman tracked, 16 had been dismissed and six settled. The others were pending.

One notable exception was a Maine case in which a chiropractor sued a former patient for postings on Facebook and websites that accused him of sexually assaulting her. The courts concluded she probably fabricated her story.

In June, a judge ruled that the chiropractor could legally attach $100,000 worth of the patient's property to his claim as security pending further proceedings in the case, which

Yelp says reviewers are well within their rights to express opinions and relate their experiences.

Spokeswoman Kristen Whisenand says the company discourages professionals from using what she called the "nuclear option" of suing over a negative review. She said they rarely succeed and wind up drawing more attention to the review they dislike.

Angie Hicks, co-founder of Angie's List, said people shouldn't be afraid to post honest opinions about health care or other services.

"Everyone has the right to free speech," Hicks said. "The key here is giving your honest opinion. Honesty is your best defense. Truth is your best defense."

Jeff Hermes, director of the Citizens Media Law Project at Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet and Society, said people who want to post critical reviews should think about whether they can back up their statements. And they can strengthen their position by stating the facts on which their opinions are based.

Goldman advises reviewers to remember that they are still taking a risk anytime they criticize someone in a public forum.

"The reality is that we bet our house every time that we post content online," Goldman said. "It's a lousy answer from a societal standpoint because we need people to share their experiences so vendors will be punished or rewarded as appropriate."锘縄n a city that hangs its hat on big money, a flashy skyline and well-heeled locals, a visit on the cheap might seem unlikely. But residents know that it doesn't take a trust fund to have a good time here. For starters, sit down to a plate of cheap tacos and start people-watching.

Dallasites take their shopping seriously, so spending some time wandering the city's malls and shopping areas is a must. But if tempting yourself with shiny new things doesn't appeal, there are plenty of other options like visiting museums, the Memorial or the Katy Trail.

In the development, several restaurants feature a fun patio atmosphere and cheap eats. Taco Diner has plates with four tacos just under $10 while its sister restaurant across the street, Mi Cocina, has Tex-Mex plates with everything from enchiladas to tamales for about the same price.

The price falls were the biggest since March 2011, when the market reopened after the popular uprising that ousted , with the EGX30 index down 9.45 percent by 0945 GMT.

"We're not the same . Investors know that Mursi's decisions will not be accepted and that there will be clashes on the street," said Osama Mourad of Arab Financial Brokerage.

Many individual stocks were down by the maximum 10 percent allowed under exchange rules, including Construction Industries, Commercial International Bank, Orascom Telecome and Media Technology and EFG Hermes.

"We are back to square one, politically, socially, unrest, clashes and so on," said Mohamed Radwan of Pharos Securities.

Investors had been growing more confident about the political outlook in recent months, hoping the newly elected government would bring stability to the country after 18 months of political and economic turmoil, and the index had risen 35 percent by the end of last week since June when it became clear that Mursi had been elected president.

But Mourad said Mursi's new decree had now made it more dangerous to do business in Egypt.

"If an investor wants to appeal something in court he won't be able to, because all laws and regulations that come out of the presidency cannot be appealed," he said.

锘縏he cowboy romance Brokeback Mountain led the yesterday with four prizes, including best dramatic film and the directing honor for .

It was a triumphant night for films dealing with homosexuality and transsexuality. Along with the victories for Brokeback Mountain, acting honors went to in a gender-bending role as a man preparing for sex-change surgery in Transamerica and as gay author in Capote.

"I know as actors our job is usually to shed our skins, but I think as people our job is to become who we really are, and so I would like to salute the men and women who brave ostracism, alienation and a life lived on the margins to become who they really are," Huffman said.

The biography Walk the Line won the Globe for best musical or film and earned acting honors for stars and .

Director Lee's Brokeback Mountain, the story of two rugged Western family men ( and ) concealing their affair, has emerged as a front-runner for - which occasionally have handed out top acting prizes for performers in homosexual or gender-bending roles but have never given the best-picture Oscar to a gay-themed film.

Oscar nominations come out Jan. 31, with the awards presented March 5.

Brokeback Mountain also won for best screenplay and song, "A Love That Will Never Grow Old."

Phoenix and Witherspoon won for best actor and actress in a movie musical or comedy for the biopic that follows country legend Cash's career and his long courtship with the love of his life, June Carter.

The Globe audience clapped along to Cash's song "I Walk the Line" as Phoenix took the stage.

"Who would ever have thought that I would win in the comedy or musical category?" said Phoenix, poking fun at his image for dark, brooding roles. "Not expected."

Phoenix, who did his own singing in the film, thanked "John and June for sharing their life with all of us."

"This film is really important to me," said Witherspoon, who offers a spirited performance and fine singing as Carter. "It's about where I grew up, it's about the music I grew up listening to, so it's very meaningful."

, who was among the directing nominees for Good Night, and Good Luck, won the supporting-actor Globe for the oil-industry thriller Syriana, and earned the supporting-actress prize for the murder thriller The Constant Gardener.

Syriana spins a convoluted story of multiple characters caught up in a web of deceit, greed, corruption and power-brokering over Middle Eastern oil supplies. Clooney plays a fiercely devoted undercover agent who comes to question his country's actions in the region.

Clooney thanked writer-director Stephen Gaghan for a movie "that asks a lot of difficult questions."

There are similar corporate undertones to The Constant Gardener, in which Weisz plays a humanitarian-aid worker whose husband () is drawn into a dogged investigation of business interests connected to her murder.

"I share this with Ralph Fiennes," said Weisz. "One couldn't ask for a more magical, ... committed actor."

Brokeback Mountain won the screenplay award for Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana. McMurtry thanked his constant companion during the lonely process of writing.

"Most heartfelt, I thank my typewriter. My typewriter is a Hermes 3000, surely one of the noblest instruments of European genius," McMurtry said.

Television winners included for best series actress as the U.S. president in Commander in Chief, for drama series actor as a cranky, pill-popping doctor in House, and for best comedy series actor as an incompetent boss in The Office.

"This is really wonderful for a fledgling little show like ours," said Davis.

But Desperate Housewives did win for best musical or comedy series.

Lost was honored as best drama series.

Last week Hitcents.com's creative director, Chris Nation, presented Connected Nation with awards Hitcents has received in recognition of its Web design.

Many of those awards were for products that Hitcents designed for Connected Nation and its child agency, Connect Ohio.

Nation said the awards included not only national recognition but also international recognition from groups including the International Academy of the Visual Arts and Hermes Creative Awards.

The awards were presented during a news conference Thursday hosted by the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce. Recognizing and supporting local companies and their potential for growth is all part of economic development, according to Ron Bunch, president and CEO of the chamber.

"We can see a real change in course for workforce development and job creation with these two companies," Warren County Judge-Executive Mike Buchanon said. "They will be changing the face of downtown, helping to bring a young workforce that is skilled, educated and enthusiastic. We appreciate the fact that they have made a long-term commitment here."

The two companies will occupy the commercial business space now under construction around the parking garage adjacent to Bowling Green Ballpark.

Work on that project will be completed in early to mid-2013. ___

锘縄'll state right away that Hawaii is one of my favorite places. I'm pretty much over the Caribbean, and although the Maldives and Fiji have beautiful beaches, getting there is expensive and time-consuming. So when it comes time for balmy weather, surf, sand, and relaxation, it's the Hawaiian Islands.

I'm often asked by first-timers which island(s) one should visit. I say visit them all. They're all uniquely beautiful. If you're flying all that way, you might as well make the most of it, especially if it's your first visit. I love the Big Island with its varied ecosystems; peaceful Lanai (recently purchased by software billionaire and home to two outstanding Four Seasons Resorts, the Lodge at Koele and Manele Bay); gorgeous Kauai, with some of the best hiking in the islands; and Maui, especially the idyllic town of Hana.

But on my recent visit I confined myself to Oahu.

Some Hawaii repeat visitors advise to shun Oahu, where Honolulu is located, because it's a bit too bustling and "urban." But if you haven't visited Honolulu lately, you might be in for a surprise.

Sure, some things never change, such as the iconic Halekulani Resort. (Well, that's not exactly true: Oahu's best hotel has undergone a massive renovation and looks better than ever). As is true about all of Honolulu's top hotels, the Halekulani is all about relaxation. I had one of the best massages in my life at the spa, and I can't think of anything more relaxing than sipping a Mai Tai at the House Without a Key, listening to the sounds of Wayne Shishido and his Sunset Serenaders as waves lap against the shore. But you don't have to spend a lot to sleep comfortably. I also stayed at the budget-minded, centrally-located Holiday Inn Beachcomber, and was perfectly happy there as well, and was also impressed by glam and stylish Modern Hotel (originally developed by hotelier Ian Schrager but now under new management). Another fairly new entrant, the Trump Hotel Waikiki, is winning rave reviews over at TripAdvisor.com. (( )

On my recent June week-long stay I also visited, but did not stay at, Aulani, the new Disney resort on Oahu. It's worth the trip even if only to admire the magical architecture, grounds, pools, and beachfront, and to sip a cocktail (they'll validate parking if you have a drink or meal - otherwise it's quite expensive, as are the room rates. Book well in advance because the resort is often sold out).

Tourism is Hawaii's No. 1 industry, and two of the most popular tourist activities are (no surprise) shopping and eating. But here's news: the land of the lunch plate special has come a long way in the last decade. There are now several hip, locally-sourced restaurants serving up surprisingly ambitious and tasty cuisine. Among the newer places popular with locals in the know: Whole Ox Deli for breakfast and lunch; Prima (primahawaii.com), a new Italian in Kailua (worth the drive for menu items that won't remind you of anything you've had before); Town, where the menu changes daily based on local ingredient availability; Salt Kitchen and Tasting Bar, with its small but perfectly executed menu; and Side Street Inn, with two locations now, both serving deliciously fresh poke and insanely yummy spicy fried chicken among other temptations.

Shopping has also taken a turn for the better on Oahu. When I first visited decades ago, Honolulu the retail experience was pretty much confined to mundane malls and the ubiquitous ABC convenience stores. No longer. There's been an explosion of luxury boutiques along Kalakaua Avenue, worthy of the Las Vegas Strip or Madison Avenue. And the famous Ala Moana Shopping Center now houses over 260 stores, everything from the everyday ( and ) to the upscale (Hermes, Prada, ).

But Oahu isn't all sleeping, eating, and shopping. The newly-renovated and expanded USS Arizona Memorial/ WW II Valor in the Monument is, for many visitors, the highlight of their visit (be sure to make advance reservations). And I highly recommend spending a day driving around the entire island, stopping at various beaches and sites along the way, such as the Halona Blowhole and Halona Beach Cove, where and cavorted in "From Here to Eternity." But don't jump in the water here. Instead, head to Bellows Field Beach Park in Waimanalo, arguably Oahu's best beach. (Used by for military training during the week, it's available to the public on weekends; if it's closed when you visit, head for Lanikai Beach in Kailua).

IF YOU GO:

Getting there: Airfares to Hawaii fluctuate throughout the year, and we often see inexplicably low fare wars. This is especially true when, say, Delta, lowers fares from United's hubs by 50 percent or more, even for peak season travel. Then United returns the "favor" by slashing fares from Delta's hubs. And then and American jump in. So if you live near a major hub airport (Dallas, Houston, Newark, Denver, etc.) or can get to one cheaply you may be in luck. We saw that happen once already this year and several times last year. And with ' new nonstop service from New York JFK to Honolulu, additional new seasonal service from Alaska Airlines, plus five new routes from Allegiant Airlines launching in mid-November, fares should be kept in check.

George Hobica is founder of the low-airfare listing site Airfarewatchdog.com.锘?p> mom Kelly Rutherford has suffered a major setback in her custody battle with ex-husband Daniel Giersch: An L.A. Superior Court judge ruled Tuesday that he will have residential custody of their two children in .

The actress filed for divorce from the German businessman in 2009, when she was two months pregnant with their second child, Hannah. Giersch's business visa was revoked in January, complicating an already contentious case.

Rutherford was "devastated that her American citizen children were ordered to live overseas to accomodate their father because he's banned from entering the U.S.," she said Wednesday in a statement to .

She had been seeking sole legal custody of the kids, with the intention of relocating them in New York from California. The judge decided to allow Giersh to relocate the children to France, where they will live with him, his mother and her partner, according to court obtained by E! In the event Giersh's U.S. visa is restored, he would relocate to New York, the judge said.

"An appeal is already in the process," her rep told . Geirsch told the mag, "To protect the children and also Kelly, I have decided to continue not to comment."

Under what the judge tagged "the France Plan," the couple will continue to have joint legal and physical custody over Hermes, 5, and Helena, 3, with Rutherford required to fly overseas for her time with the children. The kids have been living with their father since May 20, People said.

Balancing things out a bit, Giersch is to buy six round-trip coach airline tickets for his ex annually, and provide a house and car for her use when she's in town.

锘縊fficers wearing Chicago Police uniforms raided an apartment in late Wednesday and detained at least eight activists without justification, lawyers working on behalf of protesters alleged today.

Police refused to provide any details about the alleged raid or whether they were detaining people.

Police Superintendent was asked about the allegation after announcing at a news conference this afternoon that there had been “zero arrests, as far as protest activity today.”

Asked about the Bridgeport incident, McCarthy said only that there was an “inquiry” authorities were looking into and he would have to gather further information before commenting.

An hour later, his spokeswoman declined to answer any questions about the situation.

A spokesman for the National Lawyers Guild, which represents protesters, said lawyers were speaking with some of those detained at a police facility at 3340 W. Fillmore St. on the West Side.

“The has basically disappeared as many as eight activists,” said Kris Hermes, a spokesman for the National Lawyers Guild, adding “There’s absolutely no evidence of wrongdoing.”

Hermes declined to release the names of those detained. He said the NLG had been speaking with police leaders throughout the day Thursday, and that they denied anyone was being held.

Witnesses who alleged they were detained at the scene before being released said police broke down doors in an apartment building near 32nd and Morgan Streets at 11 p.m., and searched the units while refusing to show the occupants a search warrant, said Sarah Gelsomino, an attorney with the lawyers guild.

The officers then left but returned with a warrant that witnesses claimed was not signed, she said.

When police detained the people, they also seized parts of a beer-making kit, including bottles and caps, and a cell phone, Gelsomino said.

Zoe Sigman, an Occupy activist who said she lives in the building, appeared at the lawyers guild news conference to speak about the incident.

Sigman said she was returning home Wednesday evening when she bumped into a neighbor coming down the block in the other direction who told her police were at the building.

She denied anything illegal was happening in the apartment where a number of Occupy Chicago protesters had been staying for two weeks leading up to this weekend’s .

“I know that for a fact,” she said. “It was just a home base. It was a place for people to eat and get some sleep.”

jcoen@tribune.com锘?p>DALLAS — Like spokes stretching from its 400-foot arch, the steel cords of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge propel us from the glossy downtown Arts District to gritty West Dallas.

Renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, performer and 3,000 partygoers blanketed the westbound lanes of Calatrava's bridge for its over-the-top unveiling in March. Now, on a sunny Tuesday afternoon, our rental car crosses its elegant expanse alone. The breeze in the grass makes the only waves in the Trinity River bed below.

Here is a city at a crossroads.

Its image often reduced to fast cars, fervent shopping and the fall of JFK, Dallas is striving to diversify that view while uniting its sprawling metroplex with a string of architectural marvels downtown. "In Dallas, we love the impossible," Mayor Mike Rawlings said at the celebration of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, which soars as the symbolic hub of Texas-sized ambitions.

The city's accomplishments over the past few years have turned heads.

To the bridge's east is the Arts District, where the vermilion walls of the Winspear Opera House and the aluminum tube-covered cube of the Wyly Theatre attract curiosity from the Woodall Rogers Freeway.

A bit farther north is the new three-block-long Klyde Warren Park, scheduled to open Oct. 27 with shady paths, a performance stage for concerts, a dog park and a children's garden, where a storytelling balcony will encircle an oak tree. Interactive fountains aim to mitigate temperatures that blazed past 100 degrees for 40 consecutive days in summer 2011. A restaurant is scheduled to open in 2013.

Conceived as Dallas' front lawn and named for the son of a pipeline executive, the 5.2-acre Klyde Warren Park was designed in part to cover a stretch of the Woodall Rogers Freeway. Its more critical role is to bring a pulse to a dormant zone between the Arts District and Uptown. So a steady stream of free programming will include fitness boot camps, movie screenings, ballroom dance lessons, creative classes for children, a putting green and an outdoor lending library.

As intended, the park and other cultural enhancements have stimulated residential construction downtown, but not without courting controversy.

The $1 million-plus apartments of the new Museum Tower overlook one of downtown's jewels, the Nasher Sculpture Center. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano and opened in 2003, the Nasher boasts works by Rodin, Picasso and Degas. On the late afternoon that we stroll through the sculpture garden, Magdalena Abakanowicz's "Bronze Crowd" and the folded-arm figure of Aristide Maillol's "La Nuit (Night)" are bathed in shade. But at times the tower's reflective glass creates intense glare and heat. Fearing damage to its holdings, the Nasher has pressed for corrective measures.

Within a block stand the Dallas Museum of Art and the Crow Collection of Asian Art. The new Perot Museum of Nature & Science, designed by Pritzker Prize laureate Thom Mayne, is scheduled to open nearby in January, pointing to another source of debate: The museums and performing-arts venues are more concentrated here than in most cities. That's convenient in one sense, but natives and tourists alike lament that the cultural attractions, thus far, are unmatched by restaurants, shops or even storefronts that sell bottled water.

A similar vacancy greets us when we cross the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge from downtown.

At the western terminus lie dusty vacant lots, Skittle-colored corrugated warehouses and auto-repair shops. A few blocks away is Ray's Sporting Goods, a gun-lover's paradise.

Some tourists might be tempted to turn back. But staying the course a few minutes southwest, past modest residential neighborhoods and Spanish-language billboards, my mom and I arrive for lunch on the cactus-flecked, tented patio of Bolsa, a cafe known for organic ingredients from local growers. At this laid-back destination of gentrified Oak Cliff's Bishop Arts District, bruschetta with melon, cucumber, royale chevre and mint awakens our palates. It's half-price wine bottle day. My mom and I laze more than two hours, my idea of vacation nirvana.

My mom's is fresh-baked pie a la mode. But while Bishop Arts boasts art galleries, vintage shops and boutiques, the Emporium Pies bakery won't open till fall in a converted purple house.

So we drive back toward downtown, where we happen upon the iconic homage to old Texas, the Pioneer Plaza bronze sculpture of 70 larger-than-life steers being herded down a man-made ridge. Like this city's more recent cultural projects, this one spurred protests in the 1990s. Dallas never was a cow town — that's Fort Worth's distinction, said artists who sued to halt the project.

Now, though, that criticism seems forgotten. Children hop along the stones to cross the stream beneath the waterfall, and a family smiles for a portrait on the lawn.

Beyond downtown: Snapshots of a stay

Former President George W. Bushwas eating a souffle at n° 1 rise (5360 W. Lovers Lane, risesouffle.com) near his home when President called to say Osama bin Laden was dead. So we ordered Bush's specialty, the crab souffle — savory but foamy.

The frontier cabins of Texas Town captured my daughter's and niece's imaginations at the Dallas Arboretum (8525 Garland Road, near White Rock Lake, dallasarboretum.org). Benches along tranquil gardens and ponds gave their grandmother a respite. An exhibit of Dale Chihuly's glass sculptures continues at the arboretum through Nov. 5.

With designer fashion and home goods in front and a cafe in back, Forty Five Ten (4510 McKinney Ave., fortyfiveten.com) draws shoppers such as , and . Owner Brian Bolke says his Dallas clientele love fashion, architecture, art and design in equal measure. "The women here live big, full lives and are unashamed of being in fashion," he said. He credits the arts scene for moving the city forward. The neighboring home furnishings store Nest (4524 McKinney Ave. nestdallas.com) exudes warmth with a European accent.

Borrowing relatives' bikes on a Thursday afternoon, my husband and I cycled the honeysuckle-fragranced Katy Trail from Highland Park south to the , where the Mavericks play. On our return trip we pulled over at the trail-side patio of the Katy Trail Ice House (3136B Routh St., katyicehouse.com), where wayward office workers sipped the curiosity that is the beerita, a margarita with an open bottle of beer bobbing in it. Dallas isn't particularly bike-friendly, but bike rentals are available for $35 per day, including a helmet, at Dallas Bike Works (4875 W. Lawther Drive, dallasbikeworks.com) near the White Rock Lake trail.

No trip to Dallas would be complete without gawking at the ritzy homes and the Dallas Country Club along Beverly Drive and ending up at Highland Park Village (Mockingbird Lane and Preston Road, hpvillage.com), where my husband and I enjoyed Tex-Mex and top-shelf margaritas at Mi Cocina and watched well-heeled, weekday shoppers at Christian Louboutin, and Stella McCartney.

We noted the absence of pedestrian or bike lanes on the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. We then learned of plans to turn the Continental Street Viaduct, which parallels the new bridge (named for philanthropist Hill), into a pedestrian and bicycle passage later this year. A plaza will provide a unique vantage point from which to behold the new bridge as a landmark that broadens Dallas' horizons.

锘縌: Today's column involves a mystery. All that arrived were two photos of a Native American silver necklace plus a blank sheet of paper, probably to protect the photos. That's all.

The backs of the photos are handwritten, "Stamped Nezzi squash blossom." I can only figure that the reader wants info on the necklace.

A: J Nezzi is the stamp of Jimmy Nezzi, an Arizona Navajo silver artisan who worked, approximately, in the 1970s. That places his jewelry as vintage, not in the more desirable early phase of Navajo silver.

That said, the necklace is a handsome piece. Not a classic squash blossom, it is centered by a large flat silver eagle with inlaid turquoise and coral wings outspread in traditional pattern. Birds and avian themes, certainly the eagle, are important to Southwestern natives.

Eight smaller eagles, shown in flight, are mounted on double rows of silver beads at each side.

While the necklace incorporates traditional themes, it's more artistic than ceremonial or traditional.

Looking on databases of finished auctions and sales, we could not find a similar or comparable J Nezzi necklace. On , we saw a stamped silver bracelet with inlaid turquoise and coral that sold for $150 in June of this year. A stamped bolo tie sold on for $72.55.

When we checked, eBay had a number of active auctions for J Nezzi pieces. Completed sales ranged from $19.99 to $675. A traditional squash blossom necklace brought $199.99.

If the reader's aim is to sell, he/she must place the necklace where it will sell best. I suggest shopping it to auction houses that have a record of good results selling Native American jewelry. Online is the way to research that; contact info is usually provided.

Q: I bought this plate from a lady who lived in London for a long time. Can you tell me about it? I'm very fond of it.

A: I'm so glad to learn that you like your blue and white Delft style plate. The truism in collecting is to like what you buy, because you may live with it for a long while. Buying for investment is not for "normal" folks.

Also, thanks for great photocopies of the plate's front and back. BTW, that's exactly how sellers like to view plates, too.

The transfer design on the front showing a frozen river with a sledge and a skater tying his skates is Delft in style. The back stamp reading "Delfts, Made for Royal Sphinx, by Boch" tells the rest. Smart collectors know that wares marked "Delfts" are recent.

Royal Sphinx produced Delft tableware in Holland up to WW II. From 1969 to 1979 the company had Boch, a Belgian company, make Delftware for it. Your plate dates to that period.

The 15 in. plates were made in several different scenic designs. Because the reader's transfer is artist signed, some sellers ask more for that version. We found similar plates on eBay touted as "signed by the artist" listed for $250 to $79.99. Sold plates went for $56 and $55.

MORE: We send all readers best wishes for a healthy, happy, and sane 2012. You are the best. Thank you for reading "Smart." I appreciate you all.

BOOK IT! In "Charles Faudree Details" (Gibbs Smith $40) the Oklahoma designer's vision is eclectic and world-wide. Organized by theme (tablescapes, fabrics, mantels, lighting, etc.) he shows how to mix and match disparate items to create a look that's hi-style and lush but not limited to any period.

AUCTION ACTION: You know you're in rare territory when used handbags sell for six figures. Luxury sold very well this holiday season as a Exceptional Collection Shiny Rouge H Porosus Crocodile 30cm Birkin Bag with Solid 18K White Gold & Diamond Hardware (that's the official name) brought $203,150 in a sale of luxury accessories at Heritage Auctions in Dallas.

A week later, a collector's edition multi-colored crystal Ganesh minaudiere by Judith Leiber sold for $7,500 when a private collection of 266 Leiber handbags and accessories went on the block. A collector's edition Dalmatian minaudiere with a red crystal heart pillbox fetched $5,625.

Gifts from a U.S. husband to his wife, the pieces were 100 percent sold. When everything sells, the event is called a "white glove" sale.

COLLECTOR QUIZ

Q: Working with old and vintage family fabric scraps is a quilting tradition. The results are called memory blocks. When using old fabrics, what's the best way to remove smoke smells?

A: Put an unwrapped bar of white Safeguard soap wrapped in a white paper towel in a sealed plastic bag with the fabric. Several days should do it. Source: "A Quilted Memory: Ideas and Inspiration for Reusing Vintage Textiles," by Mary Kerr (Schiffer, $19.99). A family memory, with tips and photos.

锘?p>The media reports that Poland's Ministry of Defense is furious with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) manufacturer Aeronautics Ltd., which has failed to meet the deadline for supplying its Aerostar medium range tactical UAV. The Aerostar was slated for use by the Polish Army in to improve reconnaissance capabilities. The Aerostar is used by the US Army.

Some reports say that Poland's Ministry of Defense has cancelled the $35 million contract and that it is seeking compensation.

Aeronautics won the Polish Ministry of Defense tender in January 2010, beating both Aerospace Industries Ltd. (IAI) (TASE: ARSP.B1), which offered its Heron UAV, and (Nasdaq: ESLT; TASE: ESLT), which offered its Hermes 450 UAV. IAI and Elbit Systems both quit the tender in the pricing stage, after concluding that they had little chance of winning it, because of Aeronautics' exceptionally low price.

"The company put on the table a floor bid that was very tempting and attractive for the Poles, and it won the pot. Its bid was 60 percent less than the bids of the other two companies," said a source familiar with the deal. He added, "The delay in deliveries and failure to meet commitments proves that it is not possible to deliver the goods at such low prices."

Aeronautics' contract was worth $30 million. It promised initial deliveries of the UAVs, the ground control systems, and training simulators by the end of 2010. It also promised to train crews for operating the UAVs in Afghanistan.

Israeli defense sources say that Aeronautics obtained a two-year postponement for deliveries from Poland's Ministry of Defense, but that the company still failed to meet its commitment to supply all the UAVs and their related equipment, even as the Polish Army had established special units for operating them.

Aeronautics refused to comment on the report.

Sources familiar with the deal told "Globes" that Aeronautics' executives have been trying to solve the crisis with Poland in recent weeks. The sources said that the company was surprised by the Polish media reports, and that Poland's Ministry of Defense may demand financial compensation from the company. "It is hard to ignore the fact that the Poles have been harmed. The UAVs were supposed to serve the Polish Army in operations, and we can assume that they are furious at Aeronautics," said a source.

The Aerostar is Aeronautics' flagship product. The 250-kilogram UAV can carry a range of payloads, including for intelligence missions. It has a 250-kilometer range and 12-hour endurance. Aeronautics previously sold at least 50 Orbiter UAVs to Poland.

Yavne-based Aeronautics made headlines a few months ago about tensions between its owners, and founder and CEO Avi Leumi denied in private conversations reports that the company was facing cash-flow problems. ___

锘縋resident Barack Obama touted a progressive attitude on on the campaign trail, but since taking office, Obama's administration has hardened its stance and supporters of the drug are crying foul on the flip-flop.

In a March 2008 interview, that medical marijuana ranked low on his list of priorities.

[.]

"I think the basic concept of using medical marijuana for the same purposes and with the same controls as other drugs prescribed by doctors, I think that's entirely appropriate," Obama said. "I'm not going to be using resources to try to circumvent state laws on this issue."

But the numbers tell another story.

Since October 2009, Americans for Safe Access, a group committed to legalizing medical marijuana, estimates the Justice Department has carried out 170 raids on dispensaries and cultivation facilities in nine states.

"Every time a dispensary is shut down, there are literally hundreds of people waking up that day wondering where they will get their medication," says

Hermes says he's confident that the number of raids since the president took office is actually around 200.

"He's broadened his attack," Hermes says. "Until Obama was elected, had the most aggressive posture toward medical marijuana...he's been even more aggressive than his predecessor."

Americans for Safe Access estimates that during the entire eight years of the Bush administration, roughly 200 raids were carried out, something Hermes says the Obama administration has accomplished in less than four years.

Asked why the Obama administration had been so aggressive in pursuing federal drug law violations involving medical marijuana, the DOJ told Whispers, "Sorry, we do not have statistics to support [that accusation]."

Pro-marijuana groups say Obama has expanded the attack on medical marijuana from DOJ to a wide array of other federal agencies, including the , which has lead dozens of audits of medical marijuana businesses. The IRS has also aggressively penalized medical marijuana businesses for selling an illegal drug by requiring the businesses to pay federal taxes on gross income, not net income, eliminating the tax break most businesses receive from deducting payroll costs.



The Department of Housing and Urban Development that allows public housing agencies to evict tenants who use medical marijuana. The also issued banning the commercial sale of firearms to medical marijuana patients.

There are 16 states and the that have their own medical marijuana laws.

And experts say U.S. attorneys' threats against local and state officials who enact medical marijuana laws in their states have even slowed down the implementation of new laws in Arizona, Montana, Rhode Island, and Washington.

"It's a weaselly threat, but it has scared a few governors," says Bill Piper, the director of national affairs for the Drug Policy Alliance, a group committed to finding alternatives to current drug laws. "The intensity and multi-agency assault is far worse than the Bush administration and the Clinton administration."

Allen St. Pierre, executive director for NORML, which seeks to reform marijuana laws, says the president might have political as well as legal motivations for reversing his initial position on medical marijuana. St. Pierre argues that current laws prohibit the Obama administration from turning a blind eye to state's medical marijuana legalization.

"In essence, the administration is sort of hamstrung," St. Pierre says.

St. Pierre says letting states regulate marijuana as they please would burn up a lot of the president's political capital, adding that Obama has to take action or he risks earning a reputation in 2012 election as soft on drugs.

锘?p>Mass. Maritime 42, Maine Maritime 23

CASTINE, MAINE--Massachusetts Maritime scored 21 unanswered points in the second half, to break a 21-all tie at halftime, en route to a 42-23 win over Maine Maritime Academy Saturday in a New England Football Conference game at Ritchie Field. With the win, the Buccaneers (4-3 overall, 3-2 NEFC) claimed the 40th Admiral's Cup while the Mariners remained winless this season at 0-7, 0-5.

Maine Maritime scored on the opening possession of the game when Bill Wetherbee (Veazie, Maine) plunged in from a yard out. The score capped a 12-play, 61-yard, drive that was kept alive when Mass. Maritime was whistled for roughing the passer on fourth-and-five. Wetherbee carried seven times for 25 yards on the drive.

The Bucs responded the ensuing series when John Trudel (Niantic, Conn.) hit paydirt on a six-yard run. The score completed an 8-play, 64-yard, drive highlighted when (Quincy, Mass.) hooked up with Jonathan Wright (Newburryport, Mass.) for 37 yards.

The Mariners went ahead 14-7 on Wetherbee's 36-yard sprint before Mass. Maritime evened the game at 14 on Barry Roepell's 28-yard run with 12:49 left before the half. Maine Maritime took advantage of Eddy Ramos' muffed punt and made it 21-14 four plays later on Bradley Reed's one-yard run. The Bucs knotted the game on the ensuing kickoff when Bobby Rosano (North Reading, Mass.) raced 91-yards on the kickoff return.

The Bucs needed just 12 plays to cover 66 yards on their opening possession of the second half. Reopell capped the drive, which featured a pair of third down conversions, with a two-yard run and a 27-21 Mass. Maritime lead.

Maine Maritime squandered a chance to tie the game late in the third quarter. Five straight runs from Dylan Webster, and a 14-yard run by Joseph DiBiase, got the Mariners to the Mass. 9. Three plays later, on third-and-goal at the 1, Reed fumbled and Robert Gratzer recovered it for the Bucs. Mass. Maritime cashed in on the turnover with a 99-yard drive that ended on Trudel's 4-yard run. Trudel hooked up with Rosano to convert the two-point conversion give the Bucs a 35-21 lead.

Another turnover inside the 5 cost the Mariners another chance at more points. A pair of Bradley Reed passes, to DiBiase for 18 and Shane Sullivan for 23, helped get the Mariners inside the red zone. Five plays later, Wetherbee lost the ball and Richard Ford recovered it for the Bucs.

Mass. Maritime added a late score on Austin Pierce's two-yard run and surrendered a safety when Stanton purposely ran out of the end zone with 1:51 left in the game.

Wetherbee led all rushers with 139 yards on 28 carries for Maine Maritime. DiBiase had 54 yards on nine carries and Reed added 52 yards on 21 attempts. Reed was 5 of 12 through the air for 71 yards with Sullivan hauling in two passes for 34 yards.

Norwich 56, Husson 0

Northfield, Vt.-- Norwich generated more than 600 yards of total offense and sophomore Al Georgio (West Greenwich, R.I.) had two scoring plays of longer than 60 yards as the Cadets routed visiting Husson 56-0 Saturday at Sabine Field. The win moves Norwich to .500 in Eastern Collegiate Football Conference play at 2-2 and puts them at 5-2 overall. The loss drops Husson to 1-6 overall and 0-4 in conference competition.

The Cadets wasted no time as senior quarterback Kris Sabourin (Georgia, Vt.) scored on a 58-yard touchdown run on the second play from scrimmage after he faked a handoff and took the ball up the middle past the Eagles defense. It was Sabourin's fourth rushing touchdown of 2012 and his longest run of the season thusfar.

The two teams traded punts until the he Cadets defense gave Norwich the ball back again on a three-and-out just inside ten minutes left in the quarter and Sabourin converted a crucial third-and-12 deep inside Cadet territory before he found Georgio in the flat for what seemed like a minimal gain. But Georgio was able to absorb hits and keep his feet moving and eventually took the ball 65 yards for his first receiving touchdown of the year. He later scored on a 64-yard pass from sophomore Jon Queen (Petersborough, N.H.) to finish the day with 129 yards on four catches.

Norwich finished the first quarter up 21-0 after senior Danny Triplett (Haverhill, Mass.) scored from a yard out and continued to pile on points in the second stanza when Triplett caught his second career touchdown from Sabourin.

Norwich took a 35-0 nothing lead into halftime after Sabourin tossed a touchdown to Zach Allen (Boston, Mass.). Allen has seven touchdown receptions in 2012 and finished the day with 76 yards. Sabourin completed 10 of 14 passes for 177 yards and the three touchdowns and added 78 yards on the ground.

锘縈IAMI (AP) — For travelers looking for respite from South Beach clubs and the oh-so chic Design District, the offbeat Miami Modern District — also known as MiMo — offers a welcome change of pace.

No Segway tours here. This is the real Miami, a place to pass a lazy afternoon by the bay, peruse independent boutiques and enjoy some surprisingly delicious local bistros — including celebrity chef Michelle Bernstein's flagship restaurant, Michy's.

The stretch along Route 1, which recently received a historic designation, lies just north of midtown, dividing Biscayne Bay's hidden residential neighborhoods from Miami's Little Haiti corridor. MiMo is easily distinguished by a string of 1950s-era or Mid-century Modern motels along Biscayne Boulevard, and by the original, kitschy, three-story sign of the Coppertone Girl and her dog on a building overlooking the traffic at 7300 Biscayne Blvd. The hotels flourished in the 1950s as affordable, family friendly lodging before the advent of freeways — so too did the first franchised Playboy Club (now defunct) which flouted segregation rules in the waning years of Jim Crow.

Then, like much of Miami, the neighborhood fell into disrepair. But today, MiMo (pronounced Mee-mo) is once more on the rise — though, as in the days of old, it's helpful to have car to explore the area.

"People come here because they want a real experience....We're not trendy. We're not trying to be something we're not," said Bernstein, a guest judge on the Bravo TV's who, like many MiMo business owners, lives in the 'hood. (Full disclosure: so does this reporter.) Bernstein, a Miami native, was first attracted to MiMo, part of Miami's broader , as an untouristy place to experiment with her menu. But the crowds kept coming, so she stayed, even as she opened other restaurants in more upscale neighborhoods.

MiMo is still a mix of naughty and nice. A couple of the hotels, like the New Yorker at 6500 Biscayne Blvd., have been revamped in the sleek style of their 1950's heyday and are drawing young, European budget travelers, but midnight police sirens aren't uncommon.

Still, it's fine for day-trippers with families, who can start the morning just outside MiMo's northern border at Yiya's Gourmet Cuban Bakery and Cafe, 646 NE 79th St. An outdoor mural by Miami graffiti artist Daniel Fila, of a seagull stealing a woman's bread, makes it easy to spot. Enjoy a cafe con leche and sugar-dusted vanilla croissant or a guava cheese Danish and chat with the super-friendly staff.

Then head for the sun. Off the southeast end of MiMo is Morningside Park, where shaded benches offer tranquil views of the bay. Turn east off of Biscayne Boulevard at 58th Street and ask the guard at the gate for directions to the park. During the winter, kids will enjoy the covered playground and a mini-nature walk through mangroves. In the summer, you can rent kayaks and visit one of a handful of the bay's uninhabited islands. Also fun for families, bayside Legion Park at 64th Street features two sets of playground equipment beneath giant mango and banyan trees.

Feeling the need to sweat indoors? Try a boxing class at Biscayne Boxing & Fitness Club at 7200 Biscayne Blvd., or a pole dancing class and a massage up the street at IronFlower Fitness, which doubles as one of several neighborhood hair and nail salons.

Unlike South Beach's Lincoln Road, when it comes to shopping, MiMo boasts a bevy of locally owned stores, ideal for fashionistas on a budget.

On the west side of Biscayne at 72nd Street, there's the vintage store Divine Trash. Two blocks north, award-winning designer Julian Chang creates samples for his international line of women's wear. Next door, The Consignment Bar displays and Hermes beneath a ceiling of rose printed-paper and crystal chandeliers. Consignment Bar co-owner Ilissa Whitehead, who opened the store earlier this year, said she wanted to support the neighborhood in which she lives.

"There's a long way to go, but MiMo is undiscovered. It's eclectic, and things are changing a lot," she said.

On the east side next to Legion Park, Rebel features trendy Miami styles and candles. A giant bowl of Legos means mom can try on that little black sheath in peace. Just south at Pet Mode, patrons can browse sequined doggy sweaters while their pooches get their nails polished pink.

For the kiddies, there's the hipster children's consignment shop LoudGirl Exchange at 75th Street, which lets the wee ones play with toys while their parents shop and take in works by local artists.

And for the artistically inclined, Tyler Galleries offers quality antiques, while Broadway Art & Framing showcases new artists. Other art galleries regularly sprout and fade.

The boulevard comes alive weekend nights with inexpensive valet parking at a host of restaurants. Bernstein, together with her husband David Martinez, helped jump-start the MiMo revival in 2005 with their casually elegant Michy's at 6927 Biscayne Blvd. Its bright orange and blue decor and mismatched flowered chairs were inspired by Bernstein's childhood houses. Michy's white gazpacho and crispy duck confit regularly draw locals, downtown theatergoers and even New York snow birds. Meanwhile, the patio oasis and Moroccan-inspired bar of UVAS Restaurant and Lounge at 69th Street provide one of the neighborhood's liveliest happy hours.

Michael Bloise, formerly of South Beach's four-star Wish restaurant, has just opened the inexpensive American Noodle Bar where patrons can choose among ingredients like brown sugar ginger sauce and braised oxtail. MiMo also boasts several sushi restaurants, and the Greek Anise Waterfront Taverna, just off Biscayne at 78th Street. Hungering for crepes? There's Le Cafe Bistro, tucked into the corner of a strip mall at 73rd Street, which doubles as a gallery with live music.

Around the corner on 79th Street, at the gay- (and everyone-) friendly Magnum Lounge, it doesn't take much for customers to gather around the piano for show tunes.

Then there's Red Light, a hip eatery at 7700 Biscayne Blvd., archly named for the neighborhood's late night — and early morning — inhabitants. New Orleans' chef Kris Wessel uses local ingredients to whip up dishes like citrus steamed mussels, green tomatoes and crunchy plantain chips. The riverside locale offers patrons rare city views of old Miami nature, as well as a glimpse of the neighborhood's remaining corner strip club ... just like old times.

MiMo: Miami Modern/Biscayne Boulevard Historic District runs 50th to 77th street on Biscayne Boulevard.锘縎ANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) — A northern Ohio man faces up to eight years in prison over a hay ride accident that injured 28 people last year.

Investigators say Michael Hermes (HERM'-ess), of Sandusky, had been drinking and was operating a tractor pulling several wagons when he drove off the road.

Hermes pleaded guilty last week to assault and operating a vehicle under the influence. He'll be sentenced in January.

State Highway Patrol troopers say there were open alcohol containers at the scene of the October 2011 crash.

Some of those injured had broken bones while others were just shaken up.锘?p>Victoria West might have experienced its darkest days under head coach Leonard McAngus last week when they were embarrassed in its season opener.

But, McAngus is a man of faith, and he knows better than most that joy will come in the morning -- or in this case, the next time his team steps under the Friday night lights.

Victoria West jumped on Cuero in the first half, and sustained that momentum all the way to a comprehensive 40-19 victory Friday night at Memorial Stadium.

"It's tremendous. That's what all the work is for, our kids persevered through some tough times, not only this year, but going back to last year there were some really tough losses," McAngus said about a team that lost seven straight games entering Friday. "Last week was as tough a loss as I've experienced in a long time.

"I was proud of our kids for coming back and fighting back. They believe in each other, they believe in what they are doing and they love playing football. They are not going to get down. It would have been easy to get down after that loss. I'm just proud of them."

West took a 20-0 lead into halftime after a trio of first-half rushing touchdowns -- two from quarterback Garrett Rother and one from Malcolm Peoples.

"We came out and didn't have a very good first half," Cuero head coach Travis Reeve said. "They played extremely well. It was a learning experience for our team. We have to do better in a lot of areas. Give Victoria West and Coach McAngus credit, they played a great game tonight."

West outgained Cuero 351 to 307 Friday. But most of that Gobbler yardage was after halftime, when they trailed by three scores.

Their physicality on the offensive and defensive line, as well as their victory in the turnover margin were the keys to victory, McAngus said.

Jonathan Vahalik called the win "amazing." The senior left guard couldn't contain his smile. When asked how the Warriors were able to run for 282 yards and six touchdowns, Vahalik said the offensive line played low, made their reads and assignments.

"That was huge," Vahalik said about West having a plus-2 turnover margin. "That was one of our main problems coming into this game. We really turned it around. We worked hard this week to do that. We held onto the ball and made big holes for our running backs, blocked the linebackers so they didn't have to get hit."

The Warriors know Cuero is always a good team. McAngus said the Gobblers (1-1) are only going to get better under first-year head coach Travis Reeve.

Justin Kremling scored on a 42 yard touchdown run for Cuero, with 7:38 left in the third quarter, following West's only turnover of the night. From there the teams traded touchdowns drives.

Cuero's Blake Reeve had 215 total yards and two touchdowns, one rushing, one passing. Rother ran for 109 yards and three touchdowns. Qualian Bryant added a pair of second half touchdowns for Victoria West.

Junior linebacker Nathan Hermes said the Warriors practiced a lot harder in practice this week. He added the win, following a 55-12 loss at Lockhart last week, got the bad taste out of their mouths.

Hermes had five tackles and recovered a fumble on a kickoff return with eight minutes left to set up Qualian Bryant's second rushing touchdown of the night.

Jacob Armstrong led the Warriors with seven tackles. He also caught three passes for 23 yards. The senior said his team won because they hit hard, and protected the football -- something they didn't do in that season-opening loss.

"I'm ecstatic," We ended a losing streak right there and I'm excited, it was 40-19. There are no words I can say for it." ___

锘?p>Sometime between as "Working Girl" and Hillary Clinton as presidential contender, the pantsuit retired from the ranks of high fashion, as well as from most women's closets.

Make room for its resurgence. Pantsuits commanded designer runways from to for fall, in everything from gleaming brocades to smoldering black.

The new cloth isn't necessarily cut out for the corner office. At the in September, walked the red carpet in a white plunging pantsuit and Kat Graham in a Bordeaux body-hugging Jean Paul Gaultier over a leopard-print bra.

"I'm really feeling the pantsuit right now; it's definitely in my top five trends," said Elle magazine creative director , whose series "All on the Line With Joe Zee" airs Mondays on the . "People want a lot of uses out of their clothes now, and you can wear it to work, or you can break it up and wear the jacket with jeans. We're starting to see its versatility."

Pantsuits signal a larger change, said Sharon Graubard, senior vice president and fashion director for Stylesight, which forecasts and analyzes trends.

"We've gone through a period of deconstruction and fluidity, and now we're once again constructing clothes — we're interested in tailoring and matching and structure," Graubard said. "Women haven't worn suits in a long time because they've looked very stuffy, like you're going on a job interview. But these new pantsuits have the potential to be a real fashion item like they were in the '70s."

There's a silhouette and fabric for every body. Patterned and embellished with cropped pants and curvaceous lapels at Louis Vuitton. Streamlined black and belted at Yves Saint Laurent and . Trellis-patterned, double-breasted and gold-buttoned at . Slouchy menswear-inspired at . Nip-waisted, bell-bottomed at . Dandy long jackets and short pants with wild patterned shirts and ties at .

"The starting point now are firm fabrics like jacquards and double-knits, even," Graubard said. "We want a fabric that has some guts and can hold a shape. There's a kind of neatness to the pantsuit that's appealing to the eye right now."

Defying its corporate past, the pantsuit is free-spirited this fall, as it was when suffragettes and cabaret performers began co-opting menswear at the dawn of the 20th century.

"The funny thing is that the pantsuit still has power to transgress," Graubard said. "There's something very powerful about putting on a matching pant and jacket. Just make sure it fits perfectly. When you try one on, you should feel that you can rule the world."

Gonzales Apaches at Yoakum Bulldogs--Last year: Gonzales, 33-0.

锘?br> (Reuters) - A trickle of foreign donor aid looks like 's best hope of averting a balance of payments crisis for now because many of the investors who fled the country last year are loath to return until the government seals a loan from the .

A deal with the International Monetary Fund would lend vital credibility to a new Islamist-led administration desperate to revive inward investment that ground to a halt after last year's popular uprising against .

"Until the IMF deal is signed, you are still going to have a lot of people on the sidelines waiting for that stamp of approval and that policy backstop," said Antony Simond of Aberdeen Asset Management, which is not investing in Egypt.

The IMF wants the government to push through subsidy reform and other potentially unpopular measures to rein in a yawning budget deficit before it advances the $4.8 billion loan.

But hope has been fading that President Mohamed Mursi's cabinet will move fast to impose the complex, risky reforms just months before expected parliamentary elections, then see them applied effectively by a sprawling, lethargic bureaucracy.

The IMF talks were delayed last week and will resume in the last week of October, Prime Minister Hisham Kandil said on Wednesday. An IMF delegation had been due to arrive in Cairo in late September but the government said it needed more time to draw up the reform plan.

"With (foreign) reserves running at little more than three months of import cover, any material delay in concluding talks would likely see confidence rapidly wane and downward pressure on the currency quickly resume," said in a recent note.

The mass of investors still avoiding Egypt - partly because of lingering fear of a sharp currency devaluation - have missed out on a dizzying 55 percent surge in stock prices and tumbling treasury yields since the government took office.

It came as Arab Gulf states began honoring pledges of support, stemming an erosion in Egypt's foreign reserves, and the government signaled a new resolve to lure investors.

A resurgence of street protests in Cairo last month, prompted by a film denigrating the Prophet Mohammed, did not spark the kind of prolonged, deadly violence often seen in the year following the overthrow of Mubarak in February 2011.

"RIGHT DIRECTION"

Foreigners who wound down their Egyptian-pound treasury bill holdings between the uprising and May this year became net buyers again in June, central bank data showed.

Asset managers including Invest AD of Abu Dhabi and Silk Invest were already invested in Egyptian equities during the turbulent period of army rule after Mubarak's overthrow.

Silk holds local-currency corporate bonds and shares such as investment bank EFG Hermes, which has dollar-based fee revenue and therefore less exposure to local currency risk.

"When you look through the noise, the country is going in the right direction," said Daniel Broby, Silk's chief investment officer, citing elections, Mursi's move to limit the military's power, less corruption and better allocation of state resources.

"You still have the IMF to step up to the plate, but funding coming from other sources is showing they can muddle through for now," he said.

Invest AD has ramped up its presence since the start of the year, focusing on consumption-linked stocks given the long-term growth prospects offered by a fast-growing population, said its head of asset management, Mohammed al-Hashemi.

Egypt's 2020 international bond yield last month fell back to its pre-uprising level of under 5.2 percent after reaching as high as 8.3 percent in January.

Fixed-income dealers in Cairo said participation by foreigners, most of them Westerners, at debt auctions had risen again in September as optimism grew that yields had peaked at historic highs before the new government took office.

锘?p>It’s Rolling Papers Week at Louder Now. , hip-hop’s young pothead-in-charge, dropped his highly anticipated major-label debut Tuesday. Every day this week, I’m going to analyze the tracks: what works, what doesn’t and what it means for a rap star clearly interested in crossing over to mainstream success.

6. “Wake Up” (Produced by Stargate)
If “Roll Up” proved the Wiz-and-Stargate tandem wasn’t bulletproof, “Wake Up” shows they’re capable of an all-out dud. The trouble brews within the first 15 seconds, as Wiz struggles to sing in his higher register about a beyond-tired rap cliché (“I don’t wanna wake up / … And I hardly ever sleep but it’s like a dream”). Stargate’s beat is their take on subtle hip-hop — their trademark synths are only periodically deployed, the snare sounds like a hand clap — but it's an afterthought when paired with an extra-lethargic Wiz. I’ve heard this song at least 20 times, and it’s never connected, neither on an aesthetic level or musical level. Wiz songs usually have moments or nuances to hone in on, but “Wake Up” slowly burns without much light. Essentially, it lacks balls.

And then there’s Wiz’s rapping, which has never been his strong suit, but it’s egregious here. Example: “First class tags, or maybe I’m in first because of my first-class swag / Used to say that I was trippin’, so a n---- bought expensive-ass bags.” The “trippin’/bags” connection is a poor, boring excuse for wordplay. If you’re going to talk “first class tags” and “expensive-ass bags,” dress it up to make it interesting. has made a career of stunt-lyrics, and he uses high-end fashion brands as wealth signifiers and lyrical enhancers. (“The fur is Hermes, s--- that you don’t floss / The Goyard so hard, I think I’m Hugo’s Boss” from is a prime example.) Kanye, Wiz is not. “Wake Up” is the moment Rolling Papers stumbles and never fully recovers, with the exception of the next song.

7. “The Race” (Produced by E. Dan and Big Jerm)
“The Race” is Rolling Papers’ crowning achievement, a blissful marriage between what makes Wiz a surprisingly sophisticated artist and his hometown production team knowing what works best for him. “The Race” is pure ride-out music, a term I use a lot but rarely describe. It’s difficult to verbalize, but here’s a shot: ride-out songs work best in the car, windows down, beautiful day, all alone. They have the power to alleviate stress and can make you appreciate the wonders of zoning out. (If I sound stoned, I swear I’m not.) They possess a majestic quality, but are never stuffy. They provide an escape. And that’s “The Race,” a five-and-a-half minute track that says little but expresses much.

E. Dan and Big Jerm, two guys from Pittsburgh’s ID Labs production team, deserve much of the credit. “The Race” is layered with slightly flanged sounds that mimic flutes and guitars, all played underwater. The drums — a constant stuttering, slow roll — keep a tempo that never allows the lush “Race” to sound sleepy. But it’s the bulletproof melody that makes Wiz the perfect rapper for the beat. Even Wiz’s like-minded peers (think Curren$y or Mac Miller) would fail to elevate this joint-ride soundtrack the way Wiz does. His hook is perfectly paced, sung in his natural range and ridiculously catchy. “It’s lonely at the top, ain’t no company so / Now I just stunt on my own, now I just stunt on my own,” he sings. There’s a hint of melancholy, but the song is too gorgeous to steer sad. Even better than the hook is Wiz’s decision to let the beat breathe, only filling space when it feels right. “The Race” is everything Wiz does best, and it bums me out he didn’t do more songs in this lane.

8. “Star of the Show (feat. Chevy Woods)” (Produced by E. Dan and Big Jerm)
Once again, Wiz falls victim to the trappings of generic concepts. In a nutshell: Wiz’s old haters want to stand next to him now that he’s famous. I’m sure this actually happens on a regular basis, but that doesn’t make it interesting. “Star of the Show” fails to pop in ways Wiz songs should: the droning chorus sounds bitter rather than celebratory, and E. Dan and Big Jerm’s beat is hollow and dank (not the good kind). And in the instance where Wiz is actually rapping tightly written verses (“I remember them same hoes that never notice
