To Learn More: www.fischer-tennis.com Fischer's Magnetic Speed tennis racquet won't fix your forehand, but hit the sweet spot, and you'll feel the difference. During normal play, a racquet's frame deforms slightly on impact before springing back. With the M-Speed, two unipolar magnets positioned in opposite sides of the head help speed the recovery so the ball is catapulted back over the net with extra oomph. Anna-Lena...
...word. She gamely brushed aside the slur, but the inaction was unbearable. "[Sitting out] tested my faith a little bit," says Parker, a devout Christian (she keeps copies of 25 Basic Bible Studies and God's Game Plan on the nightstand of her dorm bedroom, which measures 149 sq. ft., not much bigger than LeBron James' Hummer). She poured her emotions into journals: "The taste remains, distinct and bitter," she wrote, "guilt, because I was unable ... to put my team on my back." But she took care of business, hitting the books (she made dean's list) and doing physical...
...weapon? San Francisco's Union Square district--home to Armani, Bulgari, Cartier and now Cody's. This month Ross has expanded across the bay from Berkeley into a two-story, 22,000-sq.-ft. space next to a Virgin Megastore and opposite an Apple Store.

These pampered few will dine on nouvelle cuisine and watch first-run movies on personal DVD players, while recumbent on fully flat, almost 2-m-long beds. The bed is the centerpiece of the positively decadent 1.95 sq m of space allocated to each passenger, which also features a companion seat and a retractable table for tête-à-têtes. The benefits aren't just limited to the air. With so few passengers to process, boarding, disembarking and baggage retrieval should be a breeze...
...things may seem, it is hard to imagine just abandoning a 1,329-sq.-mi. strip of bayous inhabited since the 1700s. The locals certainly have no intention of beating a hasty retreat. After all, they have a history of resilience: the famous Battle of New Orleans, which decisively ended the War of 1812 and sent the British home in defeat, was fought here. Indeed, by the end of the week the region's take-no-prisoners attitude seemed to be bearing some fruit on Capitol Hill, with Congress hastily approving $1 billion in disaster loans to help devastated Gulf...
