...servers, blocking legitimate traffic. And although the infrastructure proved reassuringly resilient, worse attacks are likely. The number of digital attacks has doubled from last year, regularly hitting new monthly records and doing $32-39 billion in damage in 2002. According to security experts MI2G, these attacks coincide with a sharp upturn in politically disgruntled groups taking terrorism online. It's too early to say if this attack was political, but it was a reminder that hackers wouldn't need a big bang to cause a big economic shock. THE BOURSE Into The Fire Once considered a life preserver, last week...
...with surprising violence by a giant Whomping Willow after they crash-land a flying car in its gnarled branches. Later, they are chased through the Forbidden Forest by an army of giant spiders. The Mandrake plants - whose deadly screams require Herbology students to wear earmuffs - have roots resembling ugly, sharp-toothed fetuses. It's a disturbing image, but one that creature designer Nick Dudman calls necessary: "They mustn't have any element of sympathy about them," he says, "because they get chopped up."

Sophomore Shelley Maasdorp scored on a backhanded shot off a penalty corner just 2:42 into the second half, and senior forward Philomena Gambale capped the scoring 10 minutes later...
Cilantro’s full-grown feathery, flat green leaves give a kick to Asian, Indian, Caribbean and Latin American cuisine. Most people either love or hate cilantro for its distinct flavor. The taste is sort of bright, sharp, almost citrus-y, and a good bite of it hits the roof of one’s mouth. It is the green garnish on top of many Indian and Thai dishes as well as the herb that flavors pico de gallo (chopped tomatoes and onions often served as a Mexican or Tex-Mex condiment). Detractors might call it soapy or grassy...
