General Election May 6
On April 11, Prime Minister Lucas Papademos, called an early general election, set for May 6, 2012. The new Parliament to emerge from this election will convene for the first time on May 17. Thirty two parties, alliances and individual candidates are to take part in the forthcoming elections, according to the final list approved by the Supreme Court on April 26.
Electoral Body
According to the Interior Ministry electoral register, 9,850,802 citizens (5,079,425 women and 4,771,377 men) have the right to vote, 110,530 of which are new voters.
All Greek citizens who are aged 18 years old or over on the date of the election are qualified to vote, provided they are on the electoral register and have the legal capacity to vote.
Voting System
Members of Parliament (MPs) are elected by direct, universal and secret ballot. Voting is compulsory, although sanctions are no longer applied in case of abstention.
The elections will be conducted according to Electoral Law 3626/2008 which maintains the main features of the Greek proportional representation system but introduces a bonus of 50 parliamentary seats, allocated directly to the first party, as opposed to 40 seats foreseen by the previous Electoral Law 3231/2004. The Law stipulates a 3% threshold for parties to enter the Parliament. Blank and invalid ballots are not taken into consideration for seat allotment.
Electoral Process & Mandate
The electoral process is regulated by the Constitution of the Hellenic Republic, as well as relevant electoral legislation. The Hellenic Parliament is composed of a single chamber, with 300 members elected for a four-year term. 288 of the 300 deputies are elected from 56 constituencies, while the remaining 12 seats (State Deputies) are allocated on a top-down basis, according to the total share of the votes each party receives.
The leader of the party with the absolute majority of seats in Parliament is appointed Prime Minister. If no party has the absolute majority, the President of the Republic gives the leader of the relative majority party an exploratory mandate in order to ascertain the possibility of forming a government enjoying the confidence of the Parliament.
If this possibility cannot be ascertained, the President of the Republic gives the exploratory mandate to the leader of the second largest party in Parliament, and if this proves to be unsuccessful, to the leader of the third largest party in Parliament.
Each exploratory mandate is in force for three days. If all exploratory mandates prove to be unsuccessful, the President of the Republic summons all party leaders, and in case the impossibility to form a Cabinet that enjoys the confidence of the Parliament is confirmed, s/he forms a Cabinet for the purpose of holding parliamentary elections anew.
Zappeion Press Centre
A special Election Press Centre has been set up by the Secretariat General of Information & Communication-Secretariat General of Mass Media, at Zappeion Hall. The Press Centre will be open on May 4 (14:00 to 22:00 hrs), on May 5 (09:00 to 22:00 hrs) and May 6 (09:00 until the end of the working day). A special accreditation card is required to access the Press Centre. Last minute accreditation for media representatives is possible only by presenting ID card and Press card along with a letter signed by the director of the Media.
Election Results
Election results will be uploaded as soon as they are processed on a dedicated website: Parliamentary Elections 2012 ; Interior Ministry: Previous election results (1996-2009)

Las Vegas: Drift Spa
Every May, Conde Nast Traveler releases its Hot List, a collection of the best new hotels, spas, restaurants, and nightspots. Check the Daily Traveler every day for a new post from this year's list.
In a city with an over-the-top reputation, minimalism might be the dirtiest word of all. This 20-room spa in the new Palms Place residential tower, west of the Strip, rebels against the neon ostentation with a decidedly low-key atmosphere. From the blessedly pared-down service menu to the muted maroon-and-gray palette, it's an ideal antidote to the Sin City fray. The steamy co-ed hammam has seating alcoves and a suggestive overhead tile pattern that elicits a few giggles; after visiting it, opt for the Muscle Melter deep-tissue massage ($150). But request a final hot towel compress on your feet unless you like slip-sliding your way to the dressing room (massages, $150-$205).

1.In a medium mixing bowl, add the egg yolks, and whisk briefly to lighten. Set the bowl and the whisk next to the stovetop.
2.In a 3- to 4-quart saucepan, whisk the cornstarch, cocoa, and sugar until all lumps are removed, and then slowly whisk in the cold milk, a little at a time to ensure no lumps form. Scrape the bottom and sides of the saucepan with a silicon (heatproof) spatula.
3.Over medium-low heat, continue stirring the pudding until it thickens to the point that it lightly coats the back of the spatula, about 5 minutes. (We aren't using enough cornstarch here to get a thick coating. Cornstarch begins to thicken quickly at 203º, turning the sauce from opaque to translucent in the process.)
4.Continue cooking and stirring constantly as the pudding comes to a gentle simmer, about 2 minutes more. Reduce the heat to low.
5.Ladle a ½ cup of the hot pudding into the egg yolks and whisk rapidly. Repeat two times. Now add the egg yolk mixture back to the saucepan.
6.Bring the heat back up to about 208º, just below a simmer, stirring continuously. Remove from the heat.
7.Add the chopped chocolate and continue stirring for about 1 minute, until the chocolate is melted and well combined with the other ingredients.
8.Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
9.Immediately pour the pudding into a medium mixing bowl or 4-cup glass measuring cup.(If you think you may have lumps, pour the pudding through a single mesh strainer, using a plastic spatula to push the pudding through.)
10.Quickly press a small piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
11.Let cool, and then refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.
12.Spoon pudding into six, ½-cup ramekins.
13.Top each serving with a generous mound of whipped cream and a strip of orange peel.
14.Serve immediately.

BOOTLEG FILES 532: "Match Game" (1973-82 TV game show).
LAST SEEN: A large number of episodes are on YouTube.
AMERICAN HOME VIDEO: A collection of episodes was released on DVD in 2006.
REASON FOR BOOTLEG STATUS: One of the most popular game shows in U.S. television history.
CHANCES OF SEEING A COMMERCIAL DVD RELEASE: It is not likely that the entire series will be available on DVD.
Back when I was a kid in the 1970s, my post-elementary school routine was predictable: I would telephone my grandmother to tell her I arrived home (because it was the right thing to do), I would have a glass of milk (because it was the right thing to do) and I would watch the TV show "Match Game" (because it was the best thing on television during the afterschool hours).
Now, "Match Game" was not designed for elementary school kids, but it seems that a generation of impressionable kiddies grew up watching that show. The fact that it was placed in the afternoon TV line-up was something of a mystery, considering that smutty humor and double-entendres were the show's selling points. Perhaps the kids of the 70s were too unsophisticated to comprehend the more outrageous aspects of the program – but, nonetheless, it offers youngsters into a wild parallel universe that could not be found elsewhere on television, let alone in real life.
I knew nothing of the show's predecessor, which was dubbed "The Match Game" and ran on NBC from 1962 to 1969. From what I understand, that was a pleasant though somewhat quotidian competition game show which bore little resemblance to the ribald version that debuted on CBS in 1973. Very few episodes of the original edition survive, and those seem to be a bit dull.
But there was nothing dull about the CBS version of my childhood years. For starters, each episode started with a bizarre introduction: "Get ready to match the stars!" Announcer Johnny Olson made that proclamation, but it could have easily come from Rod Serling because these "stars" seem to come out of another dimension – not only of sight and sound, but of mind! Even back in the day, I was perplexed as to the star value carried by the likes of Elaine Joyce, Joyce Bulifant, Patti Deutsch and Fannie Flagg. I almost never saw these people outside of "Match Game," yet somehow or other they were proudly identified as "stars." (And considering that rival program "Hollywood Squares" could bring in the likes of George C. Scott, Burt Reynolds, Helen Hayes, Alice Cooper and Tina Turner, one had to imagine how "Match Game" viewed the concept of celebrity icon.)
Then there was the question of the show's regular panelists – what a brilliant collection of weirdos! There was Brett Somers (she of the husky voice, oversized eyewear, endless wigs and somewhat inebriated behavior), Charles Nelson Reilly (who rivaled Somers with his eyewear and wigs, although his voice was more high-pitched and he preferred smoking his pipe while on the air) and Richard Dawson (who pinballed between playfulness and crankiness, sometimes in the midst of the same sentence). These folks were rude, rowdy and completely adorable – sort of like zany distant relatives that kiddies love and adults fear whenever they visit for the holidays.
And the show's host, Gene Rayburn, was nothing like the bland, blow-dried men that hosted other quiz programs. Whether diving deep into character with thick imitations of Karloff and Lugosi for horror-related questions, or taking on the more extreme aspects of aging with questions relating to one "Old Man Periwinkle," or just going for the crass and obvious (including a happy request for Fannie Flagg to "show us your boobs"), Rayburn was less of a game show host and more of a ringmaster at a warped circus.
But what responded to the pre-teen version of me back in the 70s – and this may have been picked up by my peers across America – was that "Match Game" was that the focus was not on the competition, but on comedy. Indeed, the show's contestants barely registered, except maybe as a punch line (most notably when Fannie Flagg feigned hypnotic adoration and received a few long kisses from a hunky gym teacher seeking the $5,000 top prize). Nobody watched "Match Game" to see who would win – the emphasis was strictly on the outlandish answers that would match the fill-in-the-blank questions being fed to the "stars" on the celebrity panel.
On occasion, the show even dared to challenge authority – a hallmark of that distant era. One classic episode had Richard Dawson disrupting play for several minutes when he perceived (correctly) that the judges were wrong in rejecting answers that matched the contestant's response. The audience responded brilliantly to Dawson's challenge, cheering his efforts to drive his point home. (The producers would belatedly admit that their initial decision was wrong.)
To the show's credit, the panel was mostly filled with funny people that were quick with their wits and knew how to trade good-natured barbs with each other. Ebullient Nipsey Russell would reel off comedy poems, shaggy haired Avery Schreiber would eat his paper answer card if he provided a dreadful response to a question, Orson Bean poured dry witticisms on the comic fires, Patti Deutsch would dumbfound everyone with obscure and off-kilter answers, and chip-on-the-shoulder Betty White would gleefully dish it back when Rayburn and company tried to make her the butt of the joke. Even the audience got in on the act, offering violent booing to poor celebrity answers while cheerfully grabbing Rayburn's cue when he phrased the inevitable "Dumb Dora is so dumb…" with an operatic single-voice chant of "How dumb is she?"
"Match Game" took a somewhat juvenile pride in serving up risqué fill-in-the-blank questions relating to body parts, sexuality, prominent figures and even members of the celebrity panel. It was politically incorrect by contemporary standards, but no one was offended in the 70s – and even Charles Nelson Reilly happily outed himself to score a laugh regarding oversized produce. Said Reilly: "What's the biggest fruit you can get, present company excluded?" – bringing about one of the happiest and healthiest laughs in TV history.
"Match Game" was the closest that my childhood came to attending a daily cocktail party. But nothing lasts forever – certainly not childhood or cocktail parties – and the fun began to fray when Dawson defected in 1978 to take over as host of "Family Feud." His absence was never satisfactorily filled – amusing blokes like Dick Martin, McLean Stevenson and Bill Daily were brought in as replacements, but their low-grade chemistry never really blended into the manic setting. CBS complicated matters by kicking "Match Game" out of the afternoon and into the morning time slots, where it performed poorly (maybe because all of the kids were in school and couldn't watch it). CBS eventually dropped the show, but it limped about in syndication until 1982; a weekly evening version called "Match Game PM" also ran during this period with the same personnel, but I don't recall it being as zany as the daytime version. Later attempts to revive the formula were dismal and are best forgotten.
Still, the aura of "Match Game" remained for years until the Game Show Network began to rerun the series, thus restoring its glory to its now-aging fans while introducing a new generation to the vintage craziness. There was a 2006 DVD collection of 30 episodes (including too many from the period after Dawson left the show), yet the bulk of the show has never been made available for commercial home entertainment release. Fortunately, there are many "Match Game" fanatics that have offered unauthorized postings of the program on YouTube, where complete episodes and truly ridiculous excerpts can be viewed.
Some four decades later, I find myself older but not particularly wiser, and still rue the passing of my afterschool routine. My grandmother is no longer here, and I miss her. I don't drink a glass of milk in the afternoon – I know that I should, but bad habits die hard. At least I can still tap into YouTube and go back to my 70s childhood again with "Match Game." And no matter how many times I hear it, the idea that "Dumb Dora is so dumb…" can still keep my inner child giggling endlessly.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The unauthorized duplication and distribution of copyright-protected material, either for crass commercial purposes or profit-free shits and giggles, is not something that the entertainment industry appreciates. On occasion, law enforcement personnel boost their arrest quotas by collaring cheery cinephiles engaged in such activities. So if you are going to copy and distribute bootleg material, a word to the wise: don't get caught. Oddly, the purchase and ownership of bootleg DVDs is perfectly legal. Go figure!

What a great article.
When I was around 16 years old, my Mother and I went to California to visit my sister. We went to Universal Studios and outside the park, there were people handing out free tickets to game shows. We grabbed some for a taping of Match Game & Match Game PM for that afternoon. We went to the studio and luckily got in to see the taping.
I was so surprised at how much fowl language was thrown around during the commercial breaks. Gene Rayburn would drop F-bombs every other word…I was shocked! But it really was a great time!!
However, I remember Richard Dawson not being as jovial as he normally was on the show…and when we got back to the hotel that evening, on the news they announced that Bob Crane had been bludgeoned to death.
That day has always stuck with me.
Thanks again for this great article.
Matt on Sat, 17th May 2014 1:01 pm
This sounds a lot like blankety blank in the UK with the amazing Les Dawson. Will check it out, thanks!
John Wilson on Mon, 19th May 2014 9:08 am
Interesting story about Richard Dawson. A book I read about Crane's murder claimed that they were not the best of friends.
It would be interesting to know how they decided on the "stars" on Match Game. Bret was known to some degree at that time due to her marriage to Jack Klugman. The others – well…?
I'll never forget watching Match Game with a High School buddy and hearing Charles Nelson Reilly return an insult with the comment, "Bend over, I'll drive you home." We both started screaming with laughter – because TV was very locked down in terms of censorship back then, and Match Game was a rarity. We had to go to the drive-in movies then to hear that kind of thing.
Overall, though, I found the show silly and stale – but we had very few viewing choices back then – three networks and PBS, and PBS wasn't even in the running because they still carried the "educational" mantle and didn't had amaterish production values then.
If memory serves, the move of MATCH GAME into the late afternoon time slot forced the soap EDGE OF NIGHT into an earlier time slot – which seemed to coincide with its decline and eventual demise. EDGE OF NIGHT was the rare soap that had a large male viewing audience – and that audience couldn't watch it in its earlier time slot.
Phil Hall on Mon, 19th May 2014 12:52 pm
@John – Yes, Brett was recommended to the show's producers by her husband, Jack Klugman. Brett was a very minor actress who was then co-starring on an ill-fated reboot of "Perry Mason." She wasn't known for comedy, so the fact she kept the gig was pretty amazing. Richard Dawson had just come off "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In" while Charles Nelson Reilly was popping up in a lot of TV parts at the time (including a lot of "Tonight Show" appearances). Both were quick witted and were able to drop ad-libs, which is what the show demanded. Paul Lynde, by comparison, had the majority of his "Hollywood Squares" one-liners scripted for him – stars that needed a bundle of gag writers and endless rehearsals never did the program, because the jokes had to be turned out very quickly. What is also interesting is how so few "prestige" stars ever did "Match Game" – Oscar winners like George Kennedy, Shelley Winters and Rita Moreno turned up, as well as pre-"Dynasty" Joan Collins and Ethel Merman, but for the most part the star wattage on "Match Game" was pretty low.
Skidmarks McGee on Fri, 20th Jun 2014 10:16 pm
Yeah, the show was frickin' nuts, but it seemed like everyone was having a genuine blast. I loved it.
The Canadian Comedy Channel has a rebooted version running, but it just doesn't cut it. The panel are very quick-witted, but the contestants they choose are very, very dim and don't seem to get the idea of the game at all.

The most underrated job in veterinary practice
Receptionist is one of the most important jobs in a veterinary practice. Unfortunately, it's also usually the lowest-paid position, staffed by a person with minimal experience who lacks proper training for the many tasks required at the front desk. Even with the best of intentions, undertrained receptionists can end up performing poorly, creating chaos at the front desk and alienating clients. "A great front-desk staff communicates with our patients to satisfy their needs and solve their problems," says Howard Rice, MD, a pediatrician and president of Town and Country Pediatrics, a 16-physician practice with three offices in Chicago. "They sometimes are shock absorbers or play the role of an educator, translator and psychologist to the needs of patients," which is as true in veterinary practice as it is in pediatrics, perhaps more so. So, don't skimp on compensation. Hiring people who are less than qualified to handle the demands of being a veterinary practice receptionist to save a few bucks makes no sense. A former Veterinary Economics editor said it best: "If you paid more, maybe you could get someone with amazing communication skills and experience who would learn every client's name and handle any complaint with finesse. What would that be worth?"Consider offering a few thousand dollars more than the average salary for your area to hire someone with above-average skills and experience. If that's what it takes to guarantee a first-class person representing you at the front desk, it'll be one of the best investments you'll ever make. In the past I have recommended hiring former airline, banking or hotel employees—all of whom were carefully screened before hiring, and who received subsequent training in "customer service" at their former jobs. Judging by the number of duties veterinarians ask front-desk team members to perform—greet and register clients, answer phones, schedule appointments, handle complaints and collect fees—they could easily be your most important non-clinical employees.

Early investments in Minnesota firms are at the lowest level on record. Is the state losing its innovative edge?
Adisack Nhouyvanisvong and Corey Thompson of Naiku quickly fixed a student's I.D. in Naiku as teacher Todd Beach gave his A.P. European history class test instructions at Eastview High School in Apple Valley. The test was taken with Naiku software on laptops and netbooks.
Minnesota entrepreneurs who dream of building the next Medtronic or 3M are instead running into the toughest climate in memory to raise the money they need to get businesses going.
Venture capital investments in Minnesota companies are at the lowest level on record. Many of the in-state firms that funded promising technology start-ups have disappeared, and entrepreneurs haven't offset that by raising money elsewhere.
"The trend line we're on is not good," said Jay Hare, who tracks Minnesota venture capital investments for the global consulting firm PwC, formerly PricewaterhouseCoopers.
It wasn't always this way. Fifteen years ago, Fortune Magazine dubbed Minneapolis, "Money-apolis," calling it one of the "few places on the globe where so much cash is chasing so many creative ideas."
Back then, investors in young technology companies could make quick money by taking a company public, a common way for venture capitalists to cash out. In the mid-1990s, as many as a dozen Minnesota companies completed initial public offerings in a given year. Last year, there were two.
That change could have significant implications for the state economy. Entrepreneurs with fewer avenues to raise cash will have a harder time building businesses and hiring people.
The economic turmoil of recent years and accompanying slump in the stock market have been big factors in making it tougher to get those kinds of companies started. Another big issue is that, historically, a lot of the money for start-up companies in Minnesota has gone into the medical device industry.
But that area has lost favor with investors because of concern and uncertainty about the government's process for reviewing new products.
"The cause of the problem is not a lack of capital," said Pete McNerney, a Minneapolis-based partner venture capital firm Thomas, McNerney and Partners, which focuses on health care.
The trends don't bode well for companies like Minneapolis-based Fresh EcoHarvest. The start-up is developing technology to grow produce inside industrial buildings partly by using artificial lights and nutrient-rich mist.
Partner Kristine Sundberg used to be a vice president who headed corporate communications at Supervalu, the Eden Prairie-based grocery giant. New to the start-up culture, she spent the past year talking with state officials and networking with entrepreneurs to find Minnesota investors.
She got important validation at last year's Minnesota Cup, a cash-prize competition for new business ideas. Fresh EcoHarvest was a semifinalist.
But her other efforts to get money sometimes resulted in "wild goose chases." She described the past year as a time when Minnesota investors have been "very skittish about anything resembling risk."
After unsuccessfully trying to raise $5 million to $10 million to build a prototype to show how the technology works, in January Sundberg went all the way to Saudi Arabia to look for money.
'One-trick pony'
In the past, Minnesota has ranked among the top 13 states in the amount of venture capital companies attracted, from in-state sources or not. Last year it ranked 20th, just ahead of Rhode Island.
Venture capital investment in Minnesota companies fell 48 percent in 2010 to $139.5 million, the lowest amount in 15 years of record keeping, according to the MoneyTree Report from the National Venture Capital Association and PwC. Nationwide, venture capital investments rose 19 percent.
For years the state's prowess in medical devices attracted investors trying to follow the success of industry leaders such as Fridley-based Medtronic Inc. But concentration in the area became a liability as investors shied away.
Hare said Minnesota has become a "one-trick pony," with medical device start-ups garnering 64 percent of venture capital last year.
"We've pretty much put all our eggs in the medical device basket, and the medical device basket is hurting," he said.
Entrepreneurs in other areas struggle to get money.
Venture capitalists told Corey Thompson to come back when his business Naiku has increased sales of its Web and mobile testing platform for schools. To make that happen, Thompson needs at least $250,000 for marketing, expansion, and product development. He and two business partners would prefer to find a Minnesota investor, but every so often they receive calls from out-of-state parties.
"I want Naiku to be successful," said Thompson, a co-founder. "If that means I have to take money out of state and they want to build the team closer to them, why would I say no?"
A shrinking industry
As they seek start-up capital, Minnesota's entrepreneurs have fewer places to look. The number of venture capital firms in Minnesota shrunk from 38 in 2000 to just 15 in 2009, according to PwC.
Some that still exist have scaled back. Sherpa Partners, whose $17 million fund invests in early-stage tech companies, tried to raise more money seven years ago but suspended those efforts when it fell short of its goal. Now it is putting money only into the remaining two companies in its portfolio.
"There are fewer people making investment decisions," said Rick Brimacomb, a partner in the firm.
These days, he calls himself a "venture catalyst." He works from a Minneapolis law firm's office and serves as a strategic adviser for emerging companies.
"It's kind of like being a venture capitalist, without a checkbook," Brimacomb said.
Just two firms generate more than half of the venture capital investment that originates from Minnesota, according to PwC.
Michael Gorman, a founding managing director at Split Rock Partners in Eden Prairie, said in-state venture capital firms can help companies meet out-of-state investors.
"We would like to see Minnesota have as robust an entrepreneurial ecosystem as possible," said Gorman, whose firm funds Internet services, software and companies that work in health care. "We would like to see these numbers move in the other direction."
Some say convincing out-of-state venture capitalists to invest in a company based in Minnesota can be tough. The risk is that it might lead a company to move its headquarters closer to investors.
Joe Mandato, a managing director at the Silicon Valley venture firm De Novo Ventures, said a company's location is not a deal breaker. But, he said that if there were two equally great life sciences investments in Minnesota and California and he could choose only one, he would choose the West Coast company.
"There is far more capital around. There is a lot more expertise," Mandato said. "There is a more risk-taking environment."
Attempts at revival
Some groups are trying to boost the amount of investment dedicated to new business ideas.
Triathlon Medical Ventures partnered with Minneapolis-based venture firm Affinity Capital Management to create a $10 million fund to invest in early-stage medical device, biotech and other health businesses. But last fall, Triathlon suspended the effort; it was too difficult to raise the money the group had planned.
Last year Minnesota officials launched the state's first angel tax credit, for wealthy individuals who invest at least $10,000 in Minnesota companies.
Meanwhile, it's possible that sectors of Minnesota's economy such as clean energy may end up attracting more venture capital.
"That isn't something that changes overnight," Gorman said. "It changes over time with success."
Some start-ups wonder how much longer they have to wait.
Orono-based Diabetes Sentry Products Inc. already has approval from the Food and Drug Administration to start selling a device that straps on to diabetes patients' wrists and tells them if their blood sugar level is too low while they are sleeping. There's a wait list of hundreds of orders for the device.
The problem? Diabetes Sentry needs more money to make the product. "Being in the medical device capital of the world, you think you'd have a lot of people beating down our door," said Michael Russin, vice president of sales and marketing.
The company, which wants to raise $300,000 to $500,000, has looked into venture capital but didn't want to give up the kind of big ownership stake that firms wanted in return for an investment.
Now, Russin is taking his quest on the road. Arkansas is paying to fly him in, and South Dakota is wooing him with favorable loan terms and other incentives to move his business there.

Gravol Ginger uses ginger root (500mg extract 1:25) but I read that ginger root should be taken in moderation. The package cautions pregnant and breastfeeding women using this product, but there is no natural gravol or otherwise listed in the ingredients in this product - only ginger - so is it safe for my baby?
Thanks for your help.
You are correct, there is no gravol in this product, just ginger in extract form. There are 2 studies on
the use of ginger by pregnant women that did not find any adverse effects on the baby. However, the capsules
in these studies contained ginger powder not extract, so accordingly, we advise women to use the pills that
contain ginger in powder form.

Girl Scout cookie sales have gone high-tech with a new cookie finder app for iPhone and Android devices.
The free app allows cookie aficionados to find the nearest cookie booth and meet the 16 cookie varieties for sale. It also provides tips on how to interact with the Girl Scouts.
The $790 million Girl Scout cookie operation, the largest girl-led business in the world, allows potential buyers to search for the nearest cookie booths on its website. Amanada Hamaker, manager of product sales, said the app was a "natural extension."
"This is important, because according to consumer surveys, the No. 1 reason cited for not purchasing Girl Scout Cookies is potential consumers don't encounter a Girl Scout during the local sales period," Hamaker told ABCNews.com.
The app requires only a few clicks before cookie lovers are put in touch with a list of the nearest places to buy Thin Mints, Samoas or whatever other cookies they're craving.
Locations can be found using a smartphone's built-in GPS or by entering a ZIP code. Cookie shoppers should indicate how far they're willing to travel and when they want to buy their favorite cookies.
The app allows users to sort through the search results by location and date.
The annual cookie sale is designed to teach girls skills including goal setting, decision making, money management, business ethics and people skills, according to the organization.
The core values of the cookie sale aren't lost in the app, which also offers tips on how to do business with a Girl Scout.
"Please don't call me cute," one tip says. "We're learning how to run a business. We want you to buy cookies because you want them and respect what we're learning, not because of our nice haircut or uniform."
And for cookie-lovers looking to venture beyond the ever-popular Thin Mints, the app encourages them to ask about the cookie inventory.
"We have a lot of cookies to tell you about," the app says.

will it still slide easily in and out of a pocket?

Speck PixelSkin HD for iPhone 4S

I'd concur with the other answer here... the texture is a bit rubbery, but not too rubbery at all. I am constantly moving my phone in and out of my pocket (jeans, slacks, etc.) and no problem at all.
- Answered by Bill W from Los Altos
- Jul 10, 2011
Because the case is slightly bulky, and has a rubber lip around the screen, there is some resistance. But I find that it has never been an issue-I can slide the phone in and out of my pocket with no problem in a normal pair of jeans.
- Answered by Arthur A from Dallas
- Mar 13, 2012
Yes it will! I have this case and love it! My jeans have small shallow pockets but I have no problems at all! Also I have the white iPhone 4 and it fits well with a front and back screen protector.

cleanliness and friendliness with the staff smoke was cut back a lot m johann fr scotsdalen
convince to everything
front desk staff not that friendly. But let me state that it wasn't everyone but a gentlemen working the desk at checkout; unpleasant
Resort fee. No wifi in room as not explained that it is part of resort fee by front desk staff. Fee was eventually waived.
The hotel is clean and in a central place
The personnel never helps you and client relations are very very bad. They treat you very bad and try to play with your nerves. It was my worst experience in a hotel like this calibre!
the room was very clean, i loved the bathroom with the spa tub.
they charge for everything, be careful of the high resort fee and the high deposit that you get changed for up front then deposited back if you leave the room clean. there was a tiny refrigerator in the room but there was a daily fee if you wanted to use it. honestly i had better experience at the tuscany and circus circus as far as amenities that come with your room and not get charged extra for. we were there for a special occasion but the next time we go were staying somewhere else.
Great location and excellent restaurant choices
The place is a dump as far as the rooms go. The rooms are old and outdated. In our opinion not a good value. Also we did the on line check in but never received an email telling us what to do next so we waited in a long line for over 30 minutes to check in.
This is a whole lot of beautiful hotel for a moderate price.The location is great and convenient to many attractions. The buffet and mall are very nice. We would definitely return.
Been to Vegas many times and normally stay at the MGM Hotel. This time we tried something new and we weren't disappointed. Clean and spacious rooms (Forum room) nice staff, good food, variety of things to do in the hotel and of course outside.
Unfriendly person at the check-in, tried to give us a smoker room/ kingsize bed room and said there arent other available, after talking to her for awhile and asking again, all of a sudden there were non-smoking/two queen-size bedrooms available. Weird.
Lovely upgrade for free.
Major surprise: the wifi was problematic both days.
Amazing architecture facilities and location! However money is spent so quickly so if you ain't got it it's not enjoyable but this goes for all of the strip!
Resort fees $28 each per night ridiculous fees!!!!!
not good...too much smoke
too smoke...very important....
The room upgrade which I paid for sévices was good but bed needs to be changed
No more Class ! No more Charm just another money making machine, check out all the hiden costs and plus taxes, you end up with a differant cost When you leave amazing! I will Never stay at Caesers again
The place is amazing and we saw something new every time we walked.
Wifi is not free! When greates and checked in we were not offered any promotions or special deals available, concierge was not very helpful just gave us a magazine and didn't help much
everything . we have waited 40 years to stay here and it was wonderful
The restaurants, forum shops, casino and everything else but the hotel part were great.
Hotel room in the Roman Tower was below expectation. We had stayed in the Mirage before and in comparison, the room wasn't as good at all. The shower was barely working, so that was fixed ok, but no door on the bathroom wasn't great when two of you are sharing a room when someone needs the loo... Noise from other rooms was obvious to - early morning calls to EST locations at 5.30 not exactly welcoming and nocturnal activities not on the quiet side to say the least!!! Room was generally ok and spacious but aparent in need of new decor and better sound proofing.
locaition is great
Workers in the reception are so slow. I had waited almost 1 hour in order to make check-in.
The hotel was magnificent.
Gordon Ramsey restaurant was the worst dinner experience in Las Vegas. Very noisy hotel room doors. Smoking is allowed everywhere.
Had a awesome time in vegas, the room was very nice and clean.
My Hang Over The Next Day.
Location in the center of the Strip Really comfortable beds
For a price of more than 250 USD per night (incl. taxes and resort fee), the room was only basic and had no fridge. WiFi was ridiculously overpriced, should be included if rooms cost that much. The room was not made up or cleaned during our two day stay and the pay-per-view movie didn't even fit the size of the TV in the room. Overall, for such a famous resort and that price room price, it was disapointing

Notes & Reviews:
In Peer Gynt Zurich choreographer Heinz Spoerli has attempted a daring combination of Grieg's score and modern sounds for a dance translation of the interior monologue of Ibsen's hero. Going beneath the surface of Ibsen's narrative, Spoerli explores the emotional abyss the protagonist is plunged into. Finding that the Grieg work alone fell short of his ambitions, the choreographer turned to two contemporary composers whose music, rather than competing with Grieg's, enriches it and gives rise to different worlds.Thus the Grieg lends itself to the ballet's classical, narrative-style aspect, while the input from Brett Dean and Mark-Anthony Turnage provides an excellent vehicle for visual expression of Peer Gynt's moods and his inner distress. The production is performed by the Zurich Ballet, of which Spoerli is the director, with Peer Gynt danced by Stuttgart Ballet soloist Marijn Rademaker.The Orchestra and Choir of the Zurich Opera are conducted by Eivind Gullberg Jensen. Heinz Spoerli received the German Dance Prize 2009. In addition Marijn Rademaker, Principal Dancer of the Stuttgart Ballet, is the recipient of the German Dance Price Future 2009.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Online video site Hulu says it has now formally launched its premium streaming service for $8 a month.
That's $2 below Hulu's original monthly subscription fee for the service, which it launched as a preview about five months ago.
Hulu said Wednesday that subscribers who paid $10 a month during the preview period will receive credit for the difference.
Hulu's service offers back seasons of NBC, Fox and ABC and other TV shows, such as "30 Rock" and "Glee."
The site is jointly owned by General Electric Co.'s NBC Universal, Fox owner News Corp., ABC owner The Walt Disney Co. and Providence Equity Partners.
The free portion of the site has less content and remains available.

My Taco just turned over 50K the other day. While backing outta my parking spot at school yesterday (stereo off windows down) I noticed it was creaking and squeezing a lot... But it would only do this in reverse. This morning it did the same thing but it was worse... And it only happens when in reverse and moving. I know its not mud or sand or anything because the truck hasn't been offroad in 10K miles and was recently cleaned (sprayed the leafs with the hose to get any dirt out). Whats up?
My 5 year old Taco kinda sounds like a 15 year old Chevy

Madonna's ex-teacher risks life in never-ending quest for equine perfectionBy Matt MajendieUpdated 1128 GMT (1828 HKT) July 3, 2014Three in one for Fox-Pitt 6 photosWilliam Fox-Pitt is currently the world's No.1 ranked rider in the sport of three-day eventing.Hide Caption 1 of 6Three in one for Fox-Pitt 6 photosIt involves mastering three entire disciplines over three days of action, starting with the dressage.Hide Caption 2 of 6Three in one for Fox-Pitt 6 photosDay two of each competition is the cross-country, the most demanding and dangerous of the challenges.Hide Caption 3 of 6Three in one for Fox-Pitt 6 photosThe action is then rounded off with the final day's show-jumping competition.Hide Caption 4 of 6Three in one for Fox-Pitt 6 photosAmong Fox-Pitt's career highs is winning Olympic silver in London 2012, but he is now targeting gold in Rio de Janeiro. Hide Caption 5 of 6Three in one for Fox-Pitt 6 photosAmong Fox-Pitt's many interesting back stories out of the saddle is the fact that he taught the singer Madonna how to ride.Hide Caption 6 of 6Story highlightsFox-Pitt risks life and limb in his bid to remain the world's No.1 three-day event riderHe has toyed with quitting the sport after the deaths of close friends and horsesWhen Madonna lived in the UK, he used to teach the "Queen of Pop" how to rideHis heart is now set on winning a so-far elusive Olympic gold medal in 2016William Fox-Pitt sounds rather like a character straight out of the pages of a novel and, at times, his life has played out like one.He used to teach the "Queen of Pop" Madonna how to ride a horse, while his first wife left him for his arch-rival on the three-day eventing circuit, Andrew Nicholson. It is a career beset by tragedies too -- of riders and horses -- that made him think twice about climbing back into the saddle.But now happily married for a second time, the Briton has three children and a myriad of victories.At the age of 45, the world No.1 is still riding and is still desperately seeking that elusive Olympic gold medal."If I'd won gold at London 2012, it might have been different," Fox-Pitt, who won team silver at his home Games, adding to the bronze he won in Beijing four years earlier and another silver secured in Athens in 2004, tells CNN. "That would have been a good time to think I'll kick back. But I'm still living the dream over again."Of course, there's the sense that I've used up a lot of good luck in an obviously dangerous sport. But if you're doing something you love, it's worth the risk.Just WatchedTop equestrians gather for prestigious eventsreplayMore Videos ...Top equestrians gather for prestigious events 03:03PLAY VIDEOJust Watched100 days until World Equestrian GamesreplayMore Videos ...100 days until World Equestrian Games 01:23PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedDesigner shakes up historic horse trials replayMore Videos ...Designer shakes up historic horse trials 02:54PLAY VIDEO"In the front of your mind, there's that sense you could have a prang and end up in a mess. But this is a calculated risk. If your number is up crossing the road, riding a horse or getting in the car, that's how it is. It certainly makes everything feel more fragile."It is 23 years since Fox-Pitt thought about walking away from the sport altogether. Competing at the prestigious annual Badminton event in the UK, his mount Briarlands Pippin lost a shoe just before a fence, slipped, flipped over at the fence and had to be put down because of a broken neck.For all the bravado required for such a dangerous sport, Fox-Pitt talks of that moment as though the emotional wounds are still raw."I was really quite damaged by that," he recalls. "I remember being very unsure whether I thought this was a good sport. I've had some bad falls, times when I've woken up in the air ambulance, I've had friends that have died doing this."And yes you do ask yourself, 'what on earth are you doing?' But if you're going to break your neck, you might as well be doing something you love. Thankfully I'm still hanging in there."This is not the rider nor family man brushing off the obvious repercussions of a fall, but rather the elite athlete in him knowing that he cannot spend too much time dwelling on the what ifs of his sport.That sport reached its nadir in 1999 with five rider deaths in as many months, a period Fox-Pitt described as a "freak year".Improvements in safety have steadily come into force in the proceeding 15 years, with collapsible fences and inflatable jackets for riders. But while Fox-Pitt wants to be safe, he does not want to entirely eradicate the inherent dangers of horse and man riding over gargantuan fences, often at breakneck speeds."I think there has to be an element of risk, otherwise no one would want to do it," he explains.

The discipline is closely linked to the spirit of the Wild West and so sporting your cowboy hat and spurs are a must.Hide Caption 1 of 7Guide to equestrian disciplines 7 photosEndurance – ENDURANCE: Endurance tests the speed and endurance of a horse as well as its ability to cross different kinds of terrain. Although a long-distance competition against the clock, the emphasis is on finishing in a good condition rather than finishing first, making it a real survival of the fittest.Hide Caption 2 of 7Guide to equestrian disciplines 7 photosVaulting – VAULTING: Vaulting involves multiple athletes performing artistic moves on the back of a cantering horse, who is guided by a long rein to ensure it remains steady. As well as demanding an excellent physical condition from the vaulter, a harmonious relationship with the horse is needed, while an animal with a penchant for dance often helps.Hide Caption 3 of 7Guide to equestrian disciplines 7 photosDressage – DRESSAGE: A discipline where horse and rider perform at a walk, trot and canter delivering a routine from memory, it is considered the highest expression of horse training. It is also the only time in the world you will see a horse dancing to classical music. Not to be missed.Hide Caption 4 of 7Guide to equestrian disciplines 7 photosJumping – SHOW JUMPING: Probably the best known of all the disciplines, show jumping involves horses and their riders having to jump over a number of obstacles varying in difficulty, with penalties incurred for each one knocked down. Fences are often flanked by eye-catching decorations -- as seen here at the London 2012 Olympics.Hide Caption 5 of 7Guide to equestrian disciplines 7 photosEventing – EVENTING: Comprising of dressage, cross-country and show jumping, eventing really is the triathlon of the equestrian world. With horses required to dance, run and leap, the discipline determines which is the nag for all seasons. Hide Caption 6 of 7Guide to equestrian disciplines 7 photosDriving – DRIVING: Riders sit on a vehicle drawn by a single horse, a pair, or a team of four, which face three trials -- dressage, marathon and obstacle driving. Given that horses were driven long before they were ridden, they've had many years of practice for this event.Hide Caption 7 of 7EXPAND GALLERY"It's a bit like Formula 1. I'm sure the guys are the same before a race -- at the start of the cross-country I get that feeling in the pit of my stomach. It's the excitement, the anticipation and the nerves. It's a very raw feeling ahead of what you're hoping to conquer."The Briton, who was educated at Eton, where Princes William and Harry and British Prime Minister David Cameron among others attended, is bemused as to how he has made it to the pinnacle of his sport.Modest to the core, he says: "I never thought this would happen. When I started competitively I was quite average. Riding was just a family thing to do."But that modest beginner has managed to become the golden boy of eventing, something which seemed to catch the attention of Madonna when she was married to Guy Ritchie and living in the UK."Well, I'm not sure it was because of what I'd achieved but just simple geography that she approached me -- she lived nearby with Guy Ritchie," Fox-Pitt says.But how was it teaching the notoriously volatile "Queen of Pop" how to ride? "It was a very enjoyable and surreal experience," Fox-Pitt, who taught her for two or three years, says. "When she arrived, no one could quite believe it was happening and there is something about her that's quite extraordinary, but it was also all very normal, she was very normal."Horses are great releases for people and I think the riding was just that for her. Needless to say she took it very seriously. She's quite feisty and we had a few, how should I put it, heated debates about stuff. It was a fun time but it's all in the past now."Similarly in the past is Fox-Pitt's previous life with Wiggy, his first wife, who left him for Nicholson, the New Zealand horseman who is currently ranked second in the world.Fox-Pitt, however, can now look back on the separation and laugh. "It was a bit like something out of Eastenders," he says. "I can see people like to make a lot of the rivalry and that's good for the sport. It adds an interesting twist to something that can often be dull I guess."It's someone that the media and people supporting make quite a hoodoo about and that can be quite tiring. Everyone seems to have their team -- his or mine. I guess it's fun for most people."Just WatchedScottish family masters rare sportreplayMore Videos ...Scottish family masters rare sport 02:25PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedYoung Scotsman dominates equestrian worldreplayMore Videos ...Young Scotsman dominates equestrian world 03:01PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedEquestrian elites gather for World Cup FinalreplayMore Videos ...Equestrian elites gather for World Cup Final 03:14PLAY VIDEOThe relations between the pair are understandably still frosty because of their personal and professional lives, while there are few words exchanged between the two riders, except for the odd congratulations should one get the upper hand on the other.Yet there is so much more to Fox-Pitt than the remarkable horseman that he is. There is his indomitable mother, Marietta, who spurred him on to ride and would not accept his occasional decisions to quit.There are the contradicting aspects of him -- that he is part of the bloodline of William Pitt, British Prime Minister in the 18th Century, which contrast to the black eye he sported after sumo wrestling at his bachelor party, prior to his second marriage to the television presenter Alice Plunkett.But first and foremost, he is known for pulling off the ultimate equestrian juggling act, mastering the three complex disciplines of dressage, cross-country and show jumping.Quite how much longer he will ride is a question he cannot answer. Rio de Janeiro 2016 is an obvious cut-off point but, then again, so was London 2012."I really had to do London -- if I hadn't that would have been devastating -- and in many ways everything else is a bonus," Fox-Pitt adds. "It takes a long time in eventing to build up your business, horses and sponsors and to finally make some money. My horses wouldn't retire and I'm not sure I could see someone else ride them."I could do without the sick feeling in my stomach before a big event but I'm not done yet. I'm still having fun."Read: Girl with the dancing horse no longer fears last danceRead: Dentist by day, world champion by nightRead: Equestrian events explainedCNN EquestrianBring on the dancing horsesIf you thought dressage was all starched shirts, hair buns and tailcoats then Clémence Faivre is about to change your perceptions.

/var/opinion - Long Live the Freedom of Linux
Microsoft is running scared, and has many good reasons to be afraid. Vista is destined to be a disappointment, an expensive one for Microsoft, OEMs and customers. I'm not saying it will flop. Vista will find its way onto many desktops because it will be preloaded on computers. But aside from one single Microsoft groupie, I don't know anyone who cares about Vista, let alone anyone who is excited about its release. Microsoft knows how much the Windows line has been botched. That's one reason why Microsoft is now trying to make money off every copy of SUSE sold by Novell. For more details, see my Web article on the Linux Journal Web site, "A Five Year Deal with Microsoft to Dump Novell/SUSE" (www.linuxjournal.com/node/1000121). Praise God, Red Hat flatly refused to sign a similar deal with Microsoft.
This inevitable botch job gives Linux an invaluable window of opportunity to grab desktops away from Windows. Why migrate to an expensive, bloated, poorly designed Windows when it's just as easy (or hard) to migrate to Linux on the desktop?
The best way to seize this opportunity is to make Linux distributions even more free, as in freedom, than they are now. Here are the freedoms I propose:
1) As stated in the Web article referenced above, make all your computers free of any Novell/SUSE software.
Don't pay Novell to funnel protection money to Microsoft so Microsoft won't sue you. Make Microsoft sue someone over patent infringements. I say "someone" because that someone really isn't likely to be customers. Such a bad PR move would bury Microsoft, and everyone at Microsoft knows it. Microsoft might sue someone over some patent or another, but let's get these issues in and out of court once and for all and have the issues settled for eternity. You can't make that happen if you pay Novell to support Microsoft's protection racket.
2) Make Linux free of anything that Microsoft can claim is a patent infringement.
Meanwhile, scour the code for anything that Microsoft might claim infringes upon its patents and replace it. OpenGL is a good place to start. Microsoft bought the patent for OpenGL from SGI in one of its many bail-out deals.
3) Make Linux free with every computer.
Linux distributors, both commercial and free, need to band together and pressure hardware OEMs to preload a preconfigured version of Linux. This is a difficult step because it calls for selfless cooperation between distributors, knowing that a rising tide lifts all boats. Red Hat should be content if its part of the joint effort causes Dell to preload Ubuntu instead of Red Hat or Fedora. Once Linux becomes a standard preloaded operating system, that is the time for individual distros to start fighting to sway the OEMs toward their respective products. Until then, they must fight as a group to get anything preloaded on the systems.
4) Make the Linux desktop and common applications geek-free.
I'll be optimistic and assume more Linux will get preloaded. In such a case, far more computer-illiterate people will use Linux. So rip the geek out of the desktop and the handful of the most popular end-user-oriented applications. Take these applications and bring all the most commonly used features to the surface. The photo management program LPhoto is an excellent example of one way to do this right. Things like red-eye reduction, print photo, e-mail photo and other common functions appear in four tabs of big buttons at the bottom of the window. You have to go to the menu for less popular operations like rotating a photo.
Don't remove features or skimp on advanced features. Just don't shove them in the face of the end user. You'd be amazed how much friendlier a program can be if you simply consolidate and organize the features that exist into easy-to-use tabbed dialogs and wizards.
Developers are already hard at work making improvements like these, but many are not moving quickly enough. It's not fun to pump true usability into an application, but it is absolutely essential in order to take advantage of this window of opportunity.
5) Fill in the gaping holes in free software with more free software.
Free up some developer time to create robust equivalents for the remaining Windows applications for which there are no reasonable equivalents—iTunes and Quicken, to name two examples. Yes, there are personal finance applications, but developers need to catch up enough to compete with things like Quicken.
Java will be free, as in GPL, soon. All distros should start installing Java by default now, in anticipation of when most if not all of the JVM will be GPL—add to that a number of excellent Java applications now missing from distros.
These are but a few suggestions, but they are necessary and require urgent attention. Given enough time, people will migrate to Vista by default, simply because they upgrade their computers. If we can take advantage of the window of opportunity soon enough, we could see a Linux desktop revolution in the very near future.
Nicholas Petreley is Editor in Chief of Linux Journal and a former programmer, teacher, analyst and consultant who has been working with and writing about Linux for more than ten years.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Acclaimed actor Michael Douglas focusing on his family since recovering from tongue cancer
Michael Douglas could have retired a long time ago.
When the actor won a lifetime achievement award from the American Film Institute in 2009, he had already enjoyed a distinguished career for more than two decades - first as a successful television actor on the police drama The Streets Of San Francisco (1972 to 1976), then as one of Hollywood's most sought-after film stars, appearing in zeitgeisty films such as Wall Street (1987), a tale of financial greed that won him the Best Actor Oscar, and the sexual thriller Fatal Attraction (1987).
But instead, he kept making bold moves late into his career, going completely against type to play what many felt was the role of a lifetime as the gay pianist Liberace in director Steven Soderbergh's Behind The Candelabra (2013), an arthouse favourite that earned him a Best Actor Emmy.
At 69, he will now appear in another atypical love story, And So It Goes, a romantic comedy about 60somethings.
Background story
"I'm not worried about what people think of me.
A lot of people take for granted the person closest to them... My focus now is on my family and making the most effort I can for the people closest to me."
Actor Michael Douglas, who stars in And So It Goes, on his life after he has been given the all-clear from tongue cancer
