text: Explore The Peloponnese Corinth and around The Argolid The southeastern peninsula: Vátika Kýthira The Máni Spárti (Sparta) and around Arcadia Messinía Olympia and Ilía Pátra and Ahaïa Share Blood feuds were the result of an intricate feudal society that seems to have developed across the Máni in the fourteenth century. After the arrival of refugee Byzantine families the various clans developed strongholds in the tightly clustered villages. From these local forts, often marble-roofed towers, the clans conducted vendettas according to strict rules. The object was to destroy the tower and kill the male members of the opposing clan. The favoured method of attack was to smash the prestigious tower roofs; the forts consequently rose to four and five storeys. Feuds would customarily be signalled by the ringing of church bells, and from this moment the adversaries would confine themselves to their towers, firing at each other with all available weaponry. The battles could last for years, even decades, with women (who were safe from attack) shuttling in food, ammunition and supplies. Truces were declared at harvest times; then, with business completed, the battle would recommence. The feuds lasted until either one side was annihilated or through ritual surrender whereby a whole clan would file out to kiss the hands of enemy parents who had lost children in the feud; the victors would then dictate strict terms by which the vanquished could remain in the village.

Grady Sizemore now a free agent
The Cleveland Indians announced today that they have decline to pick up the $9 million option on Grady Sizemore for the 2012 season. The Tribe was hoping to negotiate an incentive-laden deal for the often injured Sizemore, but that didn't happen so they let him go.
Sizemore was a rising star and an excellent all-around player before he injured his knee. In 2008, Sizemore clubbed 33 home runs and stole 38 bases. But in the last three seasons, he's only played in 210 games with 28 home runs and 17 steals. This year he didn't steal a single base, and with all the injuries nobody knows if he can return to his previous form.
The Indians couldn't afford to take that chance. They desperately need to add some reliable bats to go with their solid pitching staff and Sizemore was too big a risk, particularly since they are stuck with the brittle Travis Hafner for one more season at $13 million.
Sizemore will get plenty of interests from other teams, and the upside is there if he can stay healthy. The big-money teams can more easily absorb the risk.

Water customers in Fond du Lac are being asked to run their water to keep pipes from freezing.
The city's water utility wants customers to run water for five minutes at least three times a day.
Fond du Lac has had nearly two dozen frozen service lines since the beginning of February.
The city's water operations manager said customers who notice a significant drop in water pressure should let faucets fun for five minutes and then slow the faucets to a trickle overnight.
It is especially important for customers who don't use much water or live on dead-end streets where there is not much water moving through pipes.

Siobhan and I am 2012's newest addition to the Tennis Warehouse Team! I'm from New Zealand, and came to the US four years ago to play college tennis in the PAC10 at the University of Oregon (big shout out to all Duck fans!). I graduated this past December with a double major in journalism and communications, and since then was organizing my move to San Luis Obispo for my new job!
My parents introduced me to tennis at the age of five, and they haven't been able to tear me away since. I was an addict – I played for my country when I was 11, reached a world junior ranking of 466 in ITF, and spent most of my childhood and teenage years either hitting balls or picking them up. I traveled frequently and spent time in lots of countries, either playing tournaments or training at academies (thanks to my mum – my biggest supporter, shipping me off and giving me incredible opportunities). Competing while studying at college in the US was always my end goal, so being recruited and playing for Oregon was a completely amazing experience.
Despite some good playing time, my fabulous college career was plagued with injuries – double ankle surgery and back pain from a partially missing vertebrae were not part of the recipe for success, but who's complaining?!? Four years at 'Nike University' in the Oregon rain (I learned to love the constant precipitation!) brought me to beautiful SLO, working my dream job!
Finding work was a stressful experience (I know I'm not alone in this endeavor), added to by the fact that my deportation date was looming if I didn't find a job (or magically get married) after graduation. But I knew a couple things for certain: I loved tennis and I wasn't ready to go home, and I was prepared to work as hard as possible to make those two things come together. I love New Zealand and will always be a kiwi (if you hear me talk you'll note the accent), but the US has become very close to my heart and I feel privileged that Chris gave me the chance to be a part of the Tennis Warehouse Team.
Those who know me are aware I am not a 'morning person' yet I've never been so excited to wake up before 7am! My little apartment in downtown SLO is right by the bus stop so I'm on the bus at 7.40am with an uncharacteristically large grin on my face. Every day I have so many new things to learn – who would have thought 17 years surrounded by tennis was only brushing the surface, and I am excited to dive in head first. So far, two days here have been full of writing, editing and of'course playing tennis.
Expect to hear more from your new kiwi playtester soon,

Green was considered a raw talent with future potential not a year-one starter but circumstances can change quickly in the NFL.
Projected number two cornerback Aaron Berry was released prior to the start of the season due to off-the-field issues. Combined with injuries to players ahead of him on the depth chart forced Green into action – probably before he was ready.
Green got on the field in Detroit's season opener against the St. Louis Rams and he was immediately picked on.
Green was on the field for only eight plays but was targeted twice, for two completions, including a 23-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Sam Bradford to receiver Brandon Gibson.
Since, Green has given up only two touchdowns in coverage while recording an interception and three pass defenses.
"I don't know if I've ever seen a player come as far as he has in that short of time," said head coach Jim Schwartz earlier in the year. "When we started rookie mini-camp he was well behind (in) just everything he needed to do to be a professional football player.
"Each step along the way he improved. He improved in OTAs, he improved in training camp and he's improved over the course of the season. As the season's gone on he's just recognized things quicker. He's done a better job within the scheme. He was never assignment challenged I guess you'd say, but just little things within the assignments that you just need recognition, you need time. He got it pretty quickly. He's gone out there; he's played well for us."
Green admits that his head was spinning earlier in the year but he is starting to get the hang of things.
"It's slowed down a lot since I've been here," said Green of the speed of the game. "It's kind of moving more slow out there for me."
Green has been a pleasant surprise but has not yet reached his full potential. He has struggled to locate the ball at times, has some technique opportunities and will need to put in some work during the offseason to earn a starting job in 2013.
"Jonté Green's had a couple deep balls down the field that he's lost and balls that sort of got away from him," said Schwartz, pointing out one of Green's opportunities.
Green is aware of his opportunities and has been working to improve them.
"Locating the ball, finish at top of routes, technique," said Green of the top areas he's working on. "Really, just every component to getting better on the field."
Green should get his fourth-consecutive start at right cornerback against the Chicago Bears this Sunday. It will be one last look at the rookie before next year's OTAs.
The team will be paying close attention because the 23-year old, 6-foot corner could be a key player for the Lions going forward.

Hi all,
I have a laptop that has the following specs: Intel Centrino 1.5GHZ and 256Mb RAM. Unfortunately, the computer that I normally use for FS2004 is some 6000 miles away. To make matters worse, I need to log a flight for my VA at least once per calender month. Would it be possible to get decent frame rates ie 10+ in FS2004 with Autogen off, building density set to around normal and no AI? Furthermore, I have found a shop where I can get FS2002 for £19.99, how will FS2002 run on my laptop config?

Michael P. Kelly acknowledged Tuesday that he abruptly resigned last week as executive director of the Philadelphia Housing Authority after federal officials learned of his affair with a PHA manager.
Kelly, 58, is the second PHA director in two years to be toppled by a sex scandal. His predecessor, Carl R. Greene, was terminated in 2010 after PHA's board learned of secret payments of more than $600,000 to three women to settle sexual harassment complaints.
In an interview with The Inquirer on Tuesday, Kelly, a married father of three, called the matter "a lapse of judgment and a personal family failure. I failed my family, my friends, my colleagues."

The following instructions assume that you have already picked a program to write.
First of all, I'm sure you recall that you should not begin writing code before you've thoroughly read the problem assignment -- including the thought-provoking questions. The assignment itself describes the 'problem' you are trying to solve. The sample run (if present) gives clues to details that might not have been obvious from the description (often including notes to point these issues out). But the thought-provoking questions bring all of these details into perspective and try to make sure you are clear on all aspects of the program you are about to (or, at worst, are) writing. So at least read them first!
Also take note (the TPQs will help here, too) of the topics/techniques you are supposed to be demonstrating with your program. These are listed at the very top of the assignment under 'Topical Information'. It is often possible to solve a programming assignment with many different approaches, but I've created these assignments with the goal of helping you understand certain ideas. If you solve a problem with approach B and I was trying to get you to see technique A more clearly, I can't give you full credit. Certainly you may have learned something, but it wasn't the point of the exercise. *shrug* Sorry...
Now you need to decide about the layout your program is going to have: its User Interface (UI). How will you ask the user for information? Are your prompts on the same line as their typing or the line above? Are you mundane, acerbic, witty, or something else entirely? Are your results simply labeled or layed out in fancy columns? Are your results simply stated in a set of English sentences? What is the title of your program?
Once you've decided these things, actually writing the program will be easier because the 'cout' parts will flow from this guiding design decision.
Your job in writing a program to solve an assignment is NOT to mimic the sample run exactly. Your program must accomplish the same aims (have the same results), but can do it in a different 'way'. You can design the look-and-feel of your program. The only thing that must remain the same is the overall structure (opening, input, results, closing) and the results that are printed (but not how they are printed).
That said, I know that not everyone feels creative all the time, so if you want to mimic the sample run, go ahead. *shrug* Who am I to stifle your boredom?
If your UI choice above wasn't 'mundane', perhaps you'd like a theme? There's the usual science fiction, fantasy, country & western, horror, mystery, romance, etc. But there are cross-genres, too: anime, puppets, live-action, etc. (*grin* Just kidding, kinda hard to do those in a text interface. *chuckle*) The text in your program shouldn't be an eclectic mish-mash of styles but rather should have a flow to it. A theme isn't necessary, of course, but can help to accomplish that flow.
Looking through the problem description, sample run, and TPQs, you should get an idea of what results your program should produce. Note those as 'output variables'. These will be our entire reason for existence during this programming process. We may eventually decide that they can be simply printed from their calculation instead of stored as variables, but for now it is fine to just say 'variables' for all of them.
You should also be able to decipher what information the program is supposed to read in from the user. Note those as 'input variables'. Everything must have a beginning and an ending: these will be our beginning. Also, these must be variables because cin can't store values directly into a calculation -- it needs a [writable] memory location to put the values into.
Look through the description for any formulas you might need to transform the input into the output. If none are given and yet are clearly needed, they are probably standard math or science formulas that are considered 'common knowledge'. A quick Google search or look through an old textbook should bring them to light.
Also, while looking for/through your formulas, take note of any likely candidates for constants. (Remember, if it is a literal value with a name-able meaning, we'd prefer it to be a constant. When you can't come up with a name for it, just place the original formula in a comment to show that it is a standard value.)
Our general setup is to:
All of this will be placed inside the main function/program between the
open curly brace (
{) and the return statement (
0;). And, of course, we can't use all those variables/constants
we just noted without first declaring them. These declarations go
immediately after the open curly brace of main. (Constants can also go
between the '
using namespace std;' line and the '
main(void)' line.)
Refer to your notes to see the proper syntax of declaration statements for variables and constants; of cout statements for prompts, labels, and messages; of cin statements for reading; and of assignment statements for calculations.
Remember that you must declare variables/constants before you can use them. You must prompt before you read. You must read before you calculate. And you must calculate before you print results.
As the semester progresses and you are using more functions from standard
libraries, don't forget to
#include them at the top of the
program (above the '
using namespace std;' line). Also, once
you learn to write your own functions (and forever after!), try to break
longer processes down into more manageable steps and try to make 'repeated'
code into parameterized functions that you can re-use (within a single
program and/or across multiple programs).
Don't forget to consider style at every turn. Make sure you are using
blank space effectively both within your code and in your UI. Make sure
your code is indented a [consistently-sized] level within each pair of
curly braces (
{}). Make sure you've named your variables,
constants, etc. with clear, understandable names. If any calculations are
at all tricky, make sure you've commented before (or to the right) of them.
(Also comment any functions, branches, or loops you may have written...see
your notes about these.) And, make sure your lines are no longer than
72-78 characters so that the 'printer' doesn't chop them off. (See also the
'printing' notes for more on detecting and
avoiding this problem...as well as saving a small forest by the end of the
When in doubt about a style issue, always look it up on the master style list. In fact, why don't you just go ahead and add that page to your 'Top 10 Things to Read before Bed' list. *smile* *grin*
In the 121 examples directory under 'basics', you'll notice one called 'math'. In this example are an actual assignment, the info file for the solution, the answers to the thought-provoking questions, the actual program to solve the problem, and even a completed script for handing in.

"It was like Noah's Ark," said Rev. Margay Whitlock about the Lunch Time Ministry after Superstorm Sandy struck. "We opened our doors and took all in."
Whitlock recalled the period when the power went out in most of Hoboken except the area around St. Matthew Trinity Lutheran Church on Hudson and Eighth Streets. The blackout brought hundreds of people to eat for over a week until power was restored and life gradually returned to normal.
When I stopped by last week, the Lunch Time Ministry was in normal mode. About 25 people were milling around in the parish hall adjacent to the historic church. Mostly men and about two women were finishing their lunch or sipping coffee. Some were chatting in groups or sitting on the couch.
That day was the warmest year this year so more people may have been on the streets. The kitchen staff – all volunteers – were wrapping up after serving a light breakfast earlier in the day and a hot lunch for an average of 50 people daily, Monday through Thursday.
Carlos Gonzalez, 46, was chef that day. "I love cooking," he said. He works part- time elsewhere. He was baptized a year ago at St. Matthew and worships regularly along with his partner, which is the reason he joined this church.
The church has had this ministry for decades, though at first it was for senior citizens, according to Alice Vanderheyden, who has volunteered since the 1950's. Today, she is 96, comes every day and lives in an apartment in a parish building next door. The guests and staff call her, "Grandma." She's there for the opening, makes the coffee, serves the food at the counter and cleans the tables. She moves a little slower than most but appears in good shape. She told me several times that she used to belong to the Scandinavian Church that closed at 9th and Clinton and merged with St. Matthew's. "It gives me something to do," she said.
And the guests revere her. Eric Moore, 55, who has been coming to the program for 10 years, looks much older. He's originally from Jackson and used to work in construction. He sleeps on the streets even through this past winter. "I should be dead but God watches over me," said Moore, who is quite articulate and carries many books in his backpack, which he said makes it very heavy.
A grant to the church enabled them to hire a social work/counselor, Emily Krause. She had interned there and started her paid position two weeks ago. She mixes with the guests and tries to meet "the needs of the guests targeting wellness and mental health."
She is doing assessments on each regular guest to see their housing needs and benefits and coordinates with the the Hoboken Shelter and other local agencies. Jose, 65, is a good example. He lives in a squalid apartment in Jersey City with a roommate, who is an abuser.
There is no heat or hot water and he comes to eat a few times each week. He's eager for someone to help him. Jeff, 45, did not want to give his last name. He was neatly dressed and well-spoken and has been homeless for one month after losing his job in security. The Ghana immigrant is anxious to get back to work so he can return to Union City.
Whitlock described the parish community as very supportive of this ministry in so many ways. "It's not an us vs. them. We're all in this together," she said. And some of the guests do join the church and worship along side those who give them comfort, companionship and food.
Millie Gracia-Salvetti has been running the program for 10 years. That day she had just returned from shopping to stock their shelves. Panera's donates bread regularly and Vito's Italian Deli, cold cuts. Earlier that day, students from All Saints Episcopal Day School came to serve. Whitlock said that they're not a large parish but they do wonders for the homeless and hungry.

The Australian International Motor Show will be welcoming a new Mazda along with that mysterious Subaru. The next generation of the Mazda BT-50 pickup is scheduled to premiere on October 15 as an "active lifestyle vehicle."
We're not sure how the "modern and refined styling" will radically alter the Aussie's take on the BT-50 or trucks in general, but according to Mazda it is a "new type of vehicle" possessed of a "universally recognizable beauty" that will increase "anticipation of the driving pleasure to come." We suppose we'll find out what all that means – beyond a hyperactive marketing department – come October. In the meantime, there's a press release after the jump to wet our Aussie readers' chops. Chance of U.S. importation to replace the now-departed B-Series? Not likely, mate.

New compact pickup truck to zoom in at the Australian International Motor Show
HIROSHIMA, Japan-Mazda Motor Corporation will hold the global unveiling of the all-new Mazda BT-50 compact pickup truck at the 2010 Australian International Motor Show during a press conference on Friday, October 15, 2010. The show will be opened to the public from 5 p.m. on Friday, October 15, and the all-new BT-50 will hold pride of place on the Mazda stand until the show closes on Sunday, October 24.
The all-new Mazda BT-50 is presented as an "active lifestyle vehicle" that overturns the conventional image of a compact pickup truck with modern and refined styling.
The new model was developed from the ground up as a brand new type of vehicle. As well as strength and dependability, the all-new BT-50 presents universally recognizable beauty and provides the perfect solution for a wide range of customers who lead active lifestyles, including families, workers, and pleasure-seekers. The exterior design features crisp lines that owners will look on with pride; an imposing presence that indicates reliability; sculptured beauty like an athlete's finely muscled body; and sporty and dynamic forms. By balancing all these elements, the athletic and individual design gives the all-new BT-50 an overwhelming presence that turns heads and makes it instantly recognizable.
The styling of the all-new Mazda BT-50 increases anticipation of the driving pleasure to come and represents a new direction in the compact pickup truck market.
Another significant display at this year's Australian International Motor Show is Mazda's range of next- generation SKY Concept*1 powertrains, which will be making their Australian debut. Mazda's 2007 'Sustainable Zoom-Zoom' commitment is to reduce overall average fuel economy levels by 30 percent by 2015 when compared with 2008 levels, and the Mazda SKY-G*1 gasoline and SKY-D*1 diesel engine concepts will play a significant part in achieving this ambitious target.

Independence Day is, without doubt, the most important day in the calendar of our national life. It celebrates not the gaining of the nation's liberty from England, but the date in 1776 when the colonists announced their brash intention to break free.
It was as unlikely to be achieved as it was bold to state, but five years later, after suffering that can hardly be imagined today, the Continental Army, under the command of Gen. George Washington, and aided in no small part by the French, prevailed over the British at Yorktown, Va. It was the last major battle of the war.
Six years later, as the Constitutional Convention concluded its own unlikely work in Philadelphia, a woman asked of Benjamin Franklin, "Well, doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" Franklin, as concise as he was wise, responded: "A republic, if you can keep it."
Keeping it was no sure thing as July arrived in 1863. The nation was in the midst of a catastrophic civil war that began more than two years earlier. In Mississippi, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant was in the 37th day of the siege of Vicksburg, which was the key to controlling the Mississippi River and, with it, the war in the West.
In the East, meanwhile, Confederate forces had marched through Maryland and into Pennsylvania, where, on July 1, they clashed with Union forces in the small town of Gettysburg. It was the start of a frantic and bloody three-day battle that marked the Confederacy's high-water mark.
They didn't know it then, but on July 4, 1863, things changed.
Gen. Robert E. Lee was retreating back into Virginia a day after the Battle of Gettysburg climaxed with the slaughter of the foolhardy maneuver known as Pickett's Charge. It was one of Lee's few serious mistakes of the war, but it mattered. If it didn't presage the rebels' defeat, their army was no longer capable of initiating battles, being reduced to reacting to Union attacks, though often brilliantly.
Also on that day, Vicksburg surrendered. The Mississippi belonged to the Union, and eight months later, Grant was made commander of all Union armies. Other Union generals shied away from conclusive fights. At Gettysburg and the year before, at Antietam, aggressive Union generals might have pursued the rebels and ended the war. In contrast, Grant sought battle with the rebels.
That was 150 years ago today, and thus, this Independence Day carries a special meaning. Not only do we celebrate our independence from Britain, but also the day on which it can be plausibly said that brave men preserved the nation and, equally important, ensured that slavery was in its final throes. It heralded the new birth of freedom that President Abraham Lincoln foresaw that November in his speech at the new cemetery in Gettysburg.
Thousands died in the two battles. At Vicksburg, more than 37,000 were killed or wounded, the vast majority of them Confederates. At Gettysburg, casualties numbered as high as 51,000 – equal to the entire population of Niagara Falls.
At least 620,000 men lost their lives in the line of duty during the war, equal on a percentage basis to about 6 million people today. The carnage can hardly be imagined.
Many more than that have died in the name of the country's freedom, of course, including 25,000 during the Revolutionary War, 116,516 in World War I and 405,399 in World War II. Some 20,000 died during the War of 1812, whose bicentennial we are observing. Men and women continue to die in Afghanistan – 6,626 total there and in Iraq. And add to that Korea, Vietnam, Mexico and more.
We will have our day off today, most of us. We'll even be paid for it. But hundreds of thousands of men and women have died for our privilege. Between the burgers and beer and fireworks, we would do well to remember those sacrifices and, especially this year, those that were made in the desperate month of July 1863.

CEMENT CITY — I read Thursday's story, "Hitler sign stirs debate at JCC." First and foremost, the president didn't bail out the banking system, nor did he have much to do with Libya. He does not have a handle on natural disasters. They are "natural" and "disasters."
The president doesn't actually make laws; he presides over the government. That is where "president" comes from. Congress does these things.
If one wants to hate banks, get on board. If you want to protest, quit doing business with them. Join a credit union. Jackson has lots of them.
But what is most disturbing is the conjuring up of Hitler. There is absolutely no correlation with President Obama and Hitler. Germany, and the rest of the world, was in a financial crisis in the late 1920s. Not only that, but it was recovering from World War I. Along came a tyrant who gave Germany hope.
It was built on hatred, racism, and idealism and it was totally wrong. Forty million humans died as a result of World War II, 20 million of them noncombatants. He tried to eliminate whole populations of people. The entire world changed because of this tyrant.
There are fewer and fewer people around who remember that terrible time. But to compare the president to this man is sickening. I am not a supporter of Obama. I don't like the financial condition my country. But nothing is more sickening than remembering that time and that man. I hope that in another 100 years, that "n-word" (Nazi) and others are long gone from our memory.
To see this nonsense on a college campus is irritating. At a KKK rally, maybe. But this is a place of higher learning. Go inside, take a class. I would suggest you start with history.

Michael Kors on White Wine (No), Planter's Punch (Yes), and St. Barts (Double Yes)
Photograph by Marcus Nilsson
Fashion designer and tart-tongued Project Runway judge Michael Kors travels so often, there should be an iPhone app just to map his adventures. Such is the life of a tastemaker who has built a nearly $4 billion empire creating impeccably chic, all-American looks–the kind of clothing that works no matter what continent you're on. Not surprisingly, Kors's culinary tastes also run toward the classic. In Paris, he's a regular at the old-school standbys Au Moulin a Vent and Le Voltaire. ("Give me a perfect roast chicken and a room full of women wearing major jewels and I'm happy," he says.) When in Los Angeles, Kors proudly takes his burger with a slice of avocado–preferably poolside at the Beverly Hills Hotel. "As a teenager, every time I visited Los Angeles my grandmother was like, 'Have avocado in everything!'" he recalls. "It was the '70s, and avocados were still exotic and glamorous. It's stayed with me." As for his cocktail strategy, that too is tried-and-true. The tipple just depends on the time zone. –Mickey Rapkin
You're constantly out and about. What's your go-to cocktail?
Michael Kors: I have two distinctly different cocktails for different settings. If I'm in New York, L.A., London, Hong Kong, or Tokyo, it's going to be Ketel One on the rocks. No fruit. Just clean, crisp, slick. When you're in a big city you wear black and you drink white. That's the Urban Rule. The Tropical Rule is this: As soon as you arrive, you need a Planter's Punch. In St. Barts, my favorite French phrase is "Un Planteur, s'il vous plait." It's a vacation in a glass.
I thought you'd be a white-wine kind of guy.
MK: I've learned over the years at too many cocktail parties that as much as I love white wine, it's not a good idea at parties. The breath is not pretty.
Where do you like to stay, eat, and drink when you're in St. Barts?
MK: I always rent a house in St. Barts. There are so many great ones. I love eating lunch on the beach–a fabulous lentil salad and tarte citron at Taiwana. For dinner, nothing beats Maya. It's a St. Barts classic. And I don't ever miss stopping for a drink at Cheeseburger in Paradise in Gustavia.
What other tropical locations do you frequent?
MK: I'll head anywhere there's soft sand to dig my toes into, a blue sky overhead, and the ocean to swim in. But the places I return to again and again are Capri, Key West, Parrot Cay, and Phuket.
Sounds like a good life. What's your go-to burger, and how do you take it?
MK: My nickname could be Wimpy, the Burger Man. In New York, I love to go to Joe Allen in the theater district to get a bacon cheeseburger–with American cheese. I always get coleslaw on the side, instead of mayonnaise, because I like the crunch. I want the burger fresh, I want it delicious, but I don't want it to be so insanely huge that you're knocked out. In L.A., it's the opposite. I go to the Beverly Hills Hotel and have a polo burger by the pool. You feel like you're in a Judith Krantz novel. I always put an avocado slice on the cheeseburger.
What's the snack food like in the Project Runway greenroom?
MK: In fashion, there's the high-low: You mix a couture jacket with a skirt from Forever 21. It's the same with snack food. We're Cheez Doodles or Nobu. We go the gamut. You know, Nina Garcia and I like to be very tan. The joke is, if we have Cheez Doodle dust, then we can use it as a little bronzing powder. Or we go the other way around with Nobu. It's miso cod and Cheez Doodles. It's a strange combination.
What are you drinking on set?
MK: A large iced tea with lemon and Splenda. I do not drink hot caffeinated liquids. Sometimes we're filming late and you need the caffeine. But I want it to be refreshing.
It's a late night in New York. Where are you meeting friends for dinner?
MK: We go to the Little Owl all the time, on Bedford and Grove. It's one of those special corners in New York. And I love the food. Normally you couldn't pay me to eat a brussels sprout. But somehow with the addition of enough bacon and butter and what he [chef-owner Joey Campanaro] does to them… They do a fabulous roast chicken. They make a duck salad in the summer. Great food, great service, cool ambience, and he's got the best playlist. I have literally Shazammed a million songs there. I'm like, "Oh my God, I remember that song. What is it?!" All of that makes an easy night out with friends.
What's your go-to uniform for a meal?
MK: It's the same uniform that I have for television, for work, for everything. Give me either a black T-shirt or a black crewneck cashmere sweater, and either a pair of dark jeans or white jeans, and I can go anywhere.
Is there a food trend that you wish would go away? And why?
MK: Nothing freaks me out more than the savory-and-sweet-together thing. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but blueberry sauce does not belong near meat.
Is that it?
MK: At the Little Owl, you can get an amazing meatball slider. But suddenly there's this meatball trend–there are too many fancy incarnations of meatballs. I think we're all getting a little too creative. I like grandma's Sunday meatball. Stick to the simple one.
What's your favorite restaurant in Paris?
MK: The French version of Peter Luger's is a restaurant on the Left Bank called Au Moulin a Vent. They have a divine steak and a zinc bar and perfect haricots verts. And I love Le Voltaire.
What's your swimsuit policy when on vacation? How short is too short?
MK: Too short depends on your body and your confidence. Make sure everything is under wraps, though. A woman should wear a suit that covers up all the necessary parts and lets her move without causing any embarrassment. Other than that, it's whatever she's comfortable with.
What's your footwear situation when on vacation? Are you a flip-flop guy?
MK: Absolutely. If I'm on a beach, I'm either barefoot or in flip-flops!
You mentioned that you like to be tan, so we feel compelled to ask: What's your approach to SPF?
MK: I am a man who likes a tan, true. I do also embrace a lotion with SPF. But I cheat a little; I put Bain de Soleil on top.

Has anyone done any work studying the effectiveness of toolbars /
"butcons" in web applications? Specifically I'm interested to know
how intermediate / advanced tools such as those impact customer
conversion rates.
Most web 2.0 apps seem to be a mixture of tabs / buttons, with very
little use of toolbars or menus. The exception being Google Docs /
Gmail, which are really just translations of widely adopted existing
programs - and those are free apps.
The majority of freemium web apps I've encountered seem to lean
towards the novice user in an attempt to gain customers over catering
to the experienced user. This leads to huge buttons with lots of text,
and downplays the use of icons for accomplishing tasks.
Toolbars are of course designed with the intermediate user in mind -
which could be a challenge for converting new customers with a
freemium web site model with subscription plans.
Ran a search on the archives and couldn't come up with anything. Any
pointers would be great...

If you're not familiar with NVIDIA, NVIDIA is a prominent manufacturer of graphics processors (GPU), both for desktop and laptop/notebook computing. You can find NVIDIA discrete graphics across many platforms, which include graphics for gaming and even for high performance computing. NVIDIA has used their experience with discrete graphics and includes it in their Tegra 3 processors. The Tegra 3 processor houses a 12 core NVIDIA GeForce GPU, which is capable of delivering a console class gaming experience right on your tablet.
With all this experience, NVIDIA has not only created an application (Tegra Zone) to play and find premium Android OS games, but they have developed an SDK to help developers create Tegra optimized games. By allowing developers the option to use the NVIDIA SDK to take advantage of the power the Tegra GPU can render, their games contain more dynamic textures, as well as enhanced physics, shaders, particles, lighting and visually realistic effects, such as water, cloth and environment. At the Tegra Zone, you can find Tegra Optimized games that are either free or for purchase. There are multiple titles and genres to choose from and they are all under one roof. Tegra Zone can be downloaded in Google Play. Screen shots below are taken from Dark Kingdom, first a non Tegra enhanced version and then the Tegra Enhanced version. The visual differences are easily seen and are much more realistic. If you are interested in mobile gaming, don't leave yourself short with a non NVIDIA Tegra tablet. 3D gaming is all about realism and this is where NVIDIA, Tegra Zone and Tegra enhanced games blow away the competition.

Human Brain Responds To Animals, Cute Or Creepy
A part of the brain called the amygdala has cells specialized to detect animals, researchers have found. One reason we have these cells may be that some animals posed a threat to our ancestors. But researchers also found cells that respond specifically to cute animals like puppies or bunnies.

Export earnings from US fall
Staff Reporter Export earnings from the USA, the largest export destination for Bangladesh goods, witnessed a 6.11 percent fall during the first five months (July-Nov) of the current fiscal (2014-15), mostly due to the RMG sector's poor performance. Bangladesh exports to the USA totalled $ 2,107.11 million in the first five months (July-Nov) of fiscal 2014-15 compared to $ 2,244.22 mn during the corresponding period of the previous fiscal (2013-14). The amount represents 17.46 percent of the country's total export earnings during the period. According to the statistics compiled recently by the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB), the major exports to the US market during the period were woven garment ($ 1,418.88 mn), knitwear ($ 513.46 mn), home textiles ($ 37.91 mn), frozen shrimp ($ 13.13 mn), and cap ($ 17.91 mn). During the period, around 30.23 percent of the country's total woven garment exports entered the US market, followed by knitwear 10.27 percent. Bangladesh's export earnings from the US in fiscal 2013-14 was $ 5,583.62 mn, up from $ 5,419.60 mn in fiscal 2012-13. Export earnings from the US in fiscal 2011-12 were also impressive at $ 5,100.91 mn, slightly down from $ 5,107.52 million in fiscal 2010-11. The export earnings in fiscal 2009-10, however, totalled $ 3,950.47 million, down from $ 4,052.00 million in 2008-09, mostly because of the global economic recession. The 2009-10 fiscal marked the end of an ups-and-down period for Bangladesh exports to the US. From the robust $ 2.5 billion during the 2000-01 fiscal, exports had fallen below $ 2 billion by 2003-04. Exports to the US rose steadily to cross the $ 3 billion mark in 2005-06, and peaked at nearly $ 3.6 billion during the 2007-08 fiscal.

To the Editor.—
Piazza et al1 recently presented evidence that microlesions of the oral mucosa occur during passionate kissing and that small amounts of blood could be found in saliva. They then suggested that because of the presence of blood in saliva after passionate kissing, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may be transmitted by the oral route and that kissing should not be considered safe.In contrast to those conclusions, there is considerable evidence pointing toward an extremely low probability that passionate kissing contributes significantly to new HIV infections. Perhaps the most compelling fact is that the risk of infection has been consistently less than 1% in follow-up studies of health care workers who were exposed to the blood of HIV-infected persons through accidental needle sticks.2 Since the risk of transmitting HIV through small amounts of blood by the direct parenteral route is so low, one would assume an

Fires caused by smoking materials - including cigarettes, roll-ups, cigars and pipe tobacco - result in more deaths than any other type of fire.
Last year around three fires a day in London were linked to smoking and half of accidental fire deaths were related to careless disposal of cigarettes.

For his burial, Michael Jackson made his final appearance looking every inch a star.
"He was dressed in all white pearl beads going across, draped across. A beautiful big gold belt. Like ... a belt that you win being a boxer," the late King of Pop's older sister, LaToya Jackson, tells Barbara Walters in an interview to air Friday night at 10 on ABC's 20/20. "Full makeup ... His hair was done beautifully, his makeup was done beautifully."
According to his sister, he looked "absolutely fabulous."
LaToya, 53, was one of the first to be at her brother's bedside when he died on June 25. The superstar's death has been ruled a homicide. She also signed Michael's death certificate and became legal guardian of his body as she and her family planned last week's memorial service at Forest Lawn in Glendale, Calif.
According to La Toya, Michael's daughter Paris, 11, placed stones on her father's chest, while the Jackson family put sunglasses, one of his iconic white gloves and some other personal effects in the casket with him.
Addressing reports that Michael's 13-year-old son, Prince, was summoned by the singer's personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray the day of Michael's death in order to help resuscitate his father, La Toya says, "He called Prince ... Prince ... watched him do this, Barbara. And you don't do that to a child. You don't do that to a child, especially when you knew prior to asking that child to come up, that Michael was no longer alive."

The grass -- called creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) -- is a hardy strain bred to resist the herbicide Roundup. EPA scientists monitoring the situation in Oregon say the grass could out-compete native grasses in the area, though its impacts on the environment remain to be seen.
The grass, made by Ohio-based The Scotts Company, has the ability to spread rapidly, since it is able to reproduce sexually and asexually. The grass is classified as a "sod-forming" grass, which means it may "outcompete" other species, says Tom Stohlgren, an ecologist at the U.S. Geological Survey's National Institute of Invasive Species Science. "It doesn't need to sexually reproduce -- it's like The Blob. It could potentially hit rare species or national parks."
Experts are concerned that the transgenic grass -- which travels easily because its lightweight seeds can be carried on the wind or stick to animals and vehicles -- could spread to Willamette Valley in Oregon, where the state's grass seed industry produces roughly 70 percent of the grass seeds used in the United States. Willamette Valley is about 90 kilometers from the creeping bentgrass test facility. Stohlgren says the grass would be very difficult to eliminate if it were to infect the valley.
Stohlgren is also worried that the ability of the grass to spread rapidly could pass on the ability to resist Roundup to other grass species. "It's like Darwin on steroids," he says.
"Frankengrass has escaped into the wild," says Mike Adams, a vocal critic of the irresponsible use of genetic engineering technology. "Now we're all about to observe a massive ecological experiment that could go terribly wrong," he says, "much like the introduction of rabbits into Australia. It would be shame to witness the destruction of natural grass species in national parks arising from this myopic effort to make golf courses greener."

Stocks surge to new highs
Call it the Bernanke Boost.
The stock market, which has been marching higher for a week, got extra fuel Thursday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the central bank will keep supporting the economy.
The Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor's 500 surged to all-time highs. And the yield on the 10-year Treasury note continued to decline as investors bought bonds. Stocks that benefit most from a continuation of low interest rates, such as homebuilders, notched some of the biggest gains.
The chairman made the comments in a speech late Wednesday after U.S. markets had closed, saying the economy needs the Fed's easy-money policy "for the foreseeable future."
He said the U.S. economy needs help because unemployment is high, Bernanke said. The remarks seemed to ease investors' fears that the central bank will pull back on its economic stimulus too quickly. The Fed is currently buying $85 billion a month in bonds to keep interest rates low.
"It's back to the old accommodative Fed, so the markets are happy again," said Randy Frederick, Managing Director of Active Trading and Derivatives at the Schwab Center for Financial Research.

Player of the Game
Jason Kipnis did not win tonight's Player of the Game, but he was close. Michael Brantley took tonight's honors with a score of 2.51, which included a single and 2 RBI. Kipnis took second tonight with a score of 2.43, which included 2 singles, a stolen base, and 2 runs scored. Brantey's PoG award gives him 3 for the season.
Feathers Up
After trailing 4-0 after the first inning, the Indians offense slowly fought their way back. The Indians scored one run in 4 different innings to eventually tie the game in the 5th. The Indians scored all of their runs via singles and walks. Unfortunately, the offense could not score any more runs.
The White Sox finally lost tonight, snapping their 9 game winning streak.
Feathers Down
Carlos Santana is not expected to return from his concussion until Tuesday. He was originally slotted to come back this weekend, but he is not quite ready to return from the head injury.
Josh Tomlin gave Minnesota the early lead. The Indians were down 4-0 before they even had the opportunity to bat in the 1st inning. After the first inning, Tomlin remained hittable, but was able to keep the Twins from scoring until the 6th inning, when he gave up a solo home run to Trevor Plouffe. Tomlin allowed 5 runs on 10 hits (9 of which were singles) in his 6 innings pitched.
With the Indians within 1 run, Tony Sipp came on to pitch in the 7th with hopes of keeping the game close. He gave up an infield single to the lead off hitter then gave up a home run to Joe Mauer. The 2 runs that Sipp gave up gave the Indians a 3 run disadvantage.
Play of the Game
Michael Brantley singles in the 5th inning, scoring Jason Kipnis to tie the game at 4.
Final Score: Cleveland Indians 4 – Minnesota Twins 7

It's no secret that private tennis lessons cost a lot of money.
In fact, the average cost is $40-50 per hour for a certified professional trainer. Most individuals in this area - and perhaps the country - cannot afford the kind of change it takes for a young tennis player to excel in the sport.
Well, Lakeview tennis coach Stephanie Hickey has a solution for those folks looking for a cheap way to teach their children how to swing their rackets and other basics of the game. Every Saturday, starting this week and going through Aug. 3, Hickey and the Lakeview High School boys and girls tennis programs will host their Junior Bulldog Tennis Clinics from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at Willow Park in Cortland.
Boys and girls from kindergarten through eighth grade can receive instruction from Hickey, her assistants and three boys and girls varsity players for just $5 per session. When Hickey began these clinics back in 2009, she set the price at $5, and five years later, that price hasn't changed.
Based on how much it costs for the private lessons, this discount is hard to beat.
"I've always kept it at $5," Hickey said. "I have never raised it and probably never will because I want to give anyone in the community - not just Cortland but surrounding areas also - if they have an interest in the sport to have a chance to participate."
During these times, the children receive a lot of instruction from the varsity players, including 2013 boys state-qualifier Aaron Paczak, and Hickey and her assistants.
Hickey said the clinics average around 15 to 20 kids per weekend.
On top of these clinics, Lakeview tennis hosts a "Tennis with the Bulldogs" day on Aug. 10, where youth can come and compete in contests with and against all members of the tennis teams for one-and-a-half hours. Hickey said she tries to pair up one of her boys or girls players with one kid.
It costs nothing for this event, although Hickey said donations to the Lakeview tennis teams are always appreciated.
"It's good for the players on my team to give back to the community for one thing and to introduce a sport they know how to play," Hickey said. "Who knows - it might spark them to be an instructor, be a coach."
Of course, there is a small ulterior motive as to why Hickey started these programs, as she is, afterall, a coach.
She's hoping some of the children who come into the clinics will wish to continue to play the sport and join her teams when they reach the high-school level.
"That's why I'm doing this, just to build a foundation for the program," she said. "All I know is it has sparked a lot of interest in a lot of kids, and it has really helped develop our program throughout the years because they didn't even have one."
Still, it's open to anyone from anywhere should a child wish to learn the basics of tennis. Even if the kids don't pursue the sport after the clinics, the worst-case scenario isn't bad.
At least the kids wasted a lot of energy early on a Saturday.

Kiwi volunteers' time valued at NZ$2.5 billion
07 December 2006
by Tim Burns
Wellington, New Zealand: Kiwi volunteers are contributing their time at a conservative value of about $2.5 billion a year, according to Alison Marshall, Chairperson of Volunteering New Zealand.
Marking International Volunteer Day on Tuesday, 5 December, Ms Marshall said there were more than one million New Zealanders volunteering in many different ways throughout the country.
"Measuring the true value of how much they contribute is a major challenge because of the lack of good data but research over the past few years is now starting to show just how much volunteers are doing and the value of their contribution.
"The Time Use Survey undertaken by Statistics NZ in 1999 has been one major source of information," said Ms Marshall. "This study measured the time spent on every activity and calculated that 260 million hours per year was in formal unpaid work or volunteering. The dollar value of this time was very conservatively valued by Statistics NZ as $2.493 billion".
Volunteers are involved in every sector of New Zealand society – health and welfare services, emergency services, churches and faith groups, sports and recreation, education, community support, arts and culture, the environment and advocacy and activism.
If the volunteers were not there, many key services and activities would just come to a stop said Ms Marshall.
"Imagine what would happen to rural fire services if there were no volunteer fire fighters," she said. "And if the 70,000 volunteer coaches stopped coaching, the volunteer referees and umpires did not officiate, very little sport would take place."
There are many vulnerable older people who require the support of volunteers including the Meals on Wheels teams, the accredited visitor services and others.
"These are just a very few examples of the way in which volunteer services impact on our lives showing why it is important to have a special day to show our appreciation for all that volunteers do," said Ms Marshall.
"Community organisations from all over New Zealand will be celebrating the day and thanking their volunteers in many different ways – award ceremonies, appreciation letters and certificates, displays of their volunteers activities, parties and picnics and so on."
One group from Maungaturoto, Northland, will spend the day preparing a Christmas Dinner that will be enjoyed by the elderly of their community the following day. "Voluntary work will be their way of celebrating International Volunteer Day," said Ms Marshall.

Plans for eight new detached homes in Lowick have met with concerns from parish councillors and local residents.
Mary Clare Wallace from Tweedmouth and Berwick-based Yeoman Architecture have submitted the application for a greenfield site off South Road.
They are proposing four bedroom properties made of natural stone and coloured render with natural slate roofs.
However, LOowick Parish Council suggests the proposed development is not in keeping with the surrounding houses which are predominantly terraced stone houses.
They have also expressed concerns that there is no provision for affordable housing when there are a number of expensive houses already for sale in the village.
Parish councillors were also disappointed that the plans were not discussed with them at the pre-application stage. The site is close to The Common, an iconic area of the village.
There are also concerns about the height of the houses and the increase in traffic they would bring.
Janine Monaghan of Church Road said: "Currently there are a number of large houses and building plots suitable for large houses on the market in the village. Some of these have been for sale for considerable periods without success.
"This indicates there is no need for this type of housing within the village, whilst smaller properties sell quickly. There is a need for affordable homes for local people."
Mr and Mrs Bone, of South Road, add: "Our cottage will be dwarfed by the buildings."
The plans indicate 16 parking spaces. The site is designated for residential development in the local plan and there have been no previous planning applications for the site.
