Michigan DNR Has Flawed License System
Auditors have been looking into Michigan's hunting and fishing license system. They have found that the system is antiquated and making some serious mistakes. People have been able to buy hunting or fishing licenses, even though their rights have been revoked, in most cases for not paying child support. 3,600 people that purchased 6,087 licenses did not list their age.
The DNR sells licenses online and in over 1500 stores across Michigan. Last year the annual income was $59 million. DNR says they are aware of the flaws, and are currently going through a $19 million upgrade. The system currently does not have a cancel sale for those ineligible. Also some people were able to buy more than one license, even if it is a one-license limit, as there is not a limit in the system. DNR said that is the hunter's responsibility to heed the limit.
"It's been a store-and-forward system since 1995," DNR spokeswoman Mary Dettloff said. "The upgrade that we're in the process of doing will make it a real-time system." The DNR is planning on having the updated system running by September 30, 2012. From MLive.com.

Sounds like they have a REAL BIG flaw in my book. I am sure alo0t of hunters took advantage of that and bought mukltiple tags when they were not suppose to. You would think that most hunters would obey the rules even knowing that they could get away with it and it would be hard to bust them unless they can pull a person records from the field, but with the system and poor as it sounds I do not know if I would trust it. Hopefully they get it all worked out before next year rolls around.

I would say that's a pretty big flaw!! And it seems that the homor system is not enough to keep guys from taking advantage of it once they figure it out. I can't imagine what someine is thinking when they sneak in to buy more tags than they know they are allowed. I would feel guilty about it the whole time and be thinking about getting caught also. Any way that and the guys not paying child support are probably the biggest issues. Nineteen million dollars seems like an awfully huge amount to fix it but I assume they are planning to replace everything. It looks like they are workin off of a nearly twenty year old system so I'm sure there are other issues involved. Hopefully Michigan can get this sorted out and get things running the way they should be and everyone will be forced to obey the law as htey should have been already.
Oops! That's a pretty big

Oops! That's a pretty big mistake. And to make it worse, they've known about it. It might be the responsibility of the sportsman to heed the rules. But those who have already broken the rules and shouldn't be allowed to purchase a license aren't likely going to heed the rules--they've got nothing to lose! And even more disappointing is the lack of enforcement for those they know broke the rules, either purchasing more than one license or purchasing a license when they weren't legally allowed to do so.
Wow, sounds like they need

Wow, sounds like they need quite an overhaul of the licensing system in Michigan. I can see maybe a few people falling through the cracks, but to have thousands and thousands of mistakes? I realise they sell hundreds of thousands of licenses, but still, that seems pretty unacceptable.
And I guess I would call it antiquated. It seems like you can't fill out anything today without an error message popping up saying you left something blank. So, there should be no excuse for them leaving off a birthday, unless it happens on manually filled out licenses. In that cae, it's the sales agent who is not paying attention.
I also like that they check the daed-beat Dad list, and look for guys skipping child support payments. Seems like alot of states are cross checking lists like that. Whatever it takes to track them down, more power to them!
This is a serious hole
Submitted by Retired2hunt on Fri, 2011-11-18 08:58.
This is a serious hole within the check and balance system. I would have thought that this would have been common or expected program language written into the system to catch and control the possible issues... but obviously it wasn't. And I cannot believe that they are not going to have a fix in place until September 2012. I would hope that since finding the holes within the system that they are now doing some patch work to correct what will be happening with license purchases up until that point in time within 2012 when it is fixed.
I also think there are two other problems. First, Mr Weiss stated, "there's no guarantee that the high-tech upgrade will fix problems identified by auditors." Then they better get better programmers or a better company providing the program work on the job because this is fixable by simply running a cross check against a data file for a given field and/or placing an "if/then" line of code within the program to eliminate blank entries (age of applicant).
And here is the second issue, "If we have to spend a boatload of money for a small increase in revenue, we have to make a business decision whether it's feasible," Weiss said. Hello?!?!?! This is not about revenue!!! This is about ensuring those people not supposed to get licenses and not supposed to get multiple tags - don't get them. It is ensuring those people behind on their child support are not spending money on a hunting license and tags. It is to ensure poachers who are not supposed to get a license - don't! Failing to do these opens the state up to some possible large lawsuits. They may need a new spokesperson as well as programmers here.
This may open up a can of worms for other states as well.
I also wonder since they now know of these people that received licenses that are currrently prohibited if they have notified them to stop or have blacklisted somehow to stop? Maybe not if they are more concerned on the revenue side of this. Not good Michigan DNR!
You are soooo right,
Submitted by jaybe on Fri, 2011-11-18 12:54.
You are soooo right, Retired2Hunt. And this has been an issue for years.
I live in Michigan and get the Michigan Outdoor News that has a 'Cuffs and Collars' page in every issue. For a long time I was surprised when I read something like, "upon running a check, it was discovered that the man had purchased too many licenses." As you have stated, this should be a simple programming issue to prevent multiple purchases to the same driver's license number - yet it happens A LOT. It also should be a no-brainer to require that all fields (including age) be filled in before a license is issued online.
It's a bit difficult for me to imagine that it's going to cost multiplied millions of dollars to get this fixed, but I guess software companies have to make a living, too.

Americas Towers, Buenos Aires: 311 reviews and 2 photos
Americas Towers is on the corner of Libertad and Santa Fe quite close to Julio 9 Avenue and a lots of other points of interest in Buenos Aires.
The location is very convenient and as the city is arranged in grids, it is very easy to get around everywhere.

The rooms are somewhat small, but it did not matter as I was staying alone and the fitness center is very bare-boned.
However the hotel staff is very friendly and the breakfast is good.
Unique Qualities: The location is very good.
Very close to downtown, the obelisk and the Colon theater.

I have some posts that belongs to more than one category. Let's say: category 1 and category 2
On: Yoast Seo Plugin > Titles & Meta > Post Types :
I set Post Title Templete to:
%%title%% - %%category%% | %%sitename%%
Since those posts belong to both category 1 and category 2, google is showing my post on its results as:
Title Post – Category 1, Category 2 |Site Name.
( Actually its showing: Title Post – Category 1, Category 2 | Site N…) due the characters limit.
My question is if there is any way to keep that article on both categories (since I find it useful for the user) but, somehow, limit to one category to be shown on the title?
I gave an example with just 2 categories, but if, for instance, that post is on 3, 4, etc categories it gets worst…
Is the only solution to remove the %%category%% variable? I would like to keep 1 category name on each post title…
I'm talking about many posts, so it would be really hard to change one by one.
Thank you for you help.

THis is my 3rd pregnancy and i feel like everything is happening so fast. I haven't gained any weight but i look lik ei'm at least 5 months pregnant already, i can feel the baby move, and I have an incredible amount of pelvic pressure, achy hip/back pains that are making me feel like i'm waddling just to minimize the pressure...so iguess what i'm asking is "does anybody else feel like this?" The early pregnancy pressure and aches i felt with my other 2 didn't even phase me and went away before the 2nd trimester...I seriously didn't feel like this with my other 2 pregnancies until i was aroung 7-8 months...so is this normal with the 3rd pregnancy?
So much going on at 15 weeks with 3rd pregnancy
Comments (10)
I think it's becausae out bodies know what needs to be done. I have the same problem right now. The back pains and not to mention my leg was killing me for couple of days because I went to the mall and walk around. I am also getting pelvic pains (15 weeks also) on both sides which I don't remember with my first pregnacy. Not sure of 3rd but sure if for the second.
Same here. On my 3rd as well and things are happening a lot faster. As soon as my eys saw that postive pregnancy test...BOOM, I looked 5 months pregnant. I've only gained a few lbs but I feel and look like I'm right in the middle of my pregnancy. I dread to think about what it's going to be like at the end. Doctor says that the body remembers and knows what to do and that after a few pregnancies, we start showing a lot sooner than the others. I also started feeling the baby around 11 weeks. I am very surprised by how I am feeling this time around.

ME!!! And this is my 2nd pregnancy. I am already have RL pain and back aches. Plus the peeing when I sneeze! I was just thinking last night that if I feel this way at 14 weeks,what in the hell will things be like at 34 weeks. I can already feel myself starting to slow down too. Oh, and I started showing at 10 weeks, compared to 20 with my 1st pregnancy.

Sometimes it's good to double-check. Benny has found a bug in my fix to gnu.port.mk, leading to incorrect dependencies. I couldn't get the sparc floppy to boot – several NetBSD® users had the same problem, leading to a posting about how to clean a sparc floppy drive, luckily. Note that I am lazy, that's why I just tested the floppy in my SS10 instead. This gave me quite a hard shock, though.
I prepared the Mini-ISO, and – new – a Midi-ISO containing the floppy images as well (if extra netboot kernels were required, they would be also on it, but boot.net is enough), which will take the place of cdrom10.iso on the download area, while the Mini-ISO will sit on the release ISO.
This means we're now all set to release today. *crosses fingers*

body{ font: 14px/1.8em Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; }
But Helvetica is still overriding somehow… Any ideas on how to change this?
The topic 'Change font in Corona' is closed to new replies.

Lots of flavour, we enjoyed them very much! I cooked them a little differently, I stir fryed the shallots and pea pods first then threw in the prawns and finished stir fry ing them all together, lovely flavour and I will make them again, thanks for posting.
These are tasty! I used red pepper flakes in place of the chili and served the shrimp with ginger snow pea rice.
I loved it. Great on top of steaming hot white rice and broiled veggies. Can't grill so I just used the broiler. It still turned out awesome.

Junk John
on December 6, 2014
When this book was published I read a number of positive reviews but was reluctant to read the book thinking that the focus on greek history may be somewhat dull. I was wandering through what remains of the stacks in our publice library and again came across this book. I signed it out and very quickly became absorbed by what is an interesting dialogue. This dialogue is about the influence of the church versus the influence of science. A Notary, Poggio Bracciolini, in the year 1417 serves as the centre piece for the search for, the discovery of, and the subsequent dissemination of Lucretius's ancient poem "On the Nature of Things". Mr. Greenblatt uses this dialogue to tell what is one of the most important stories related to the late evolution of human thought. Lucretius' poem is heralded as one of the original basis for the development of science and celebrates the philosophy of Epicurius. For anyone who struggles with or is interested in the tyranny of religious imposition, or who struggles with religious belief, this book is a must read.

Change the title of this book to "Poggio Bracciolini: Life and Times"
Thomas Anderson
on November 28, 2011
I picked this one up after reading a review from the G&M's Jane Smiley, which I will never do again. The purported premise of Lucretius' work shaping the Renaissance had me hooked. Even the blurb's claim of Lucretius' influence on Einstein, Freud, Darwin, Jefferson had raised high hopes. But of course I was wrong. This book is nothing of what it purports to be. Most of the book is about the life of Poggio Bracciolini, who discovered and had Lucretius' work transcribed and thus 'disseminated' it to the world.
But what of it? A particular instance of history doesn't explain anything to me. There is absolutely no discussion of how On the Nature of Things actually formed the geist, if you will, of the Renaissance. The only connection Greenblatt draws is that it was simply read in the past, and therefore, it shaped the modern world. Are you kidding me? There are bits of useless information such as definitive proof of Montaingne's ownership of the poem, etc, but nothing in this book establishes the connection of psyche of Lucretius to the psyche of the Renaissance and beyond; perhaps one doesn't exist. But more importantly, even these cursory, contrived connections between Lucretius and the modern world, are only summarized in a single chapter. Most of the book is about the idiosyncrasies of Poggio and his times. Bits of entertaining information such as papal scribes hurling insults at one another have absolutely nothing to do with the supposed overarching theme of the book.
The only value of this book is in reading about facts related to Poggio Bracciolini not discussed in wikipedia. If you want to learn about Lucretius' influence in the modern world, look elsewhere (better yet, just read him).

If the Gods don't care ...
Raymond Argyle
on December 25, 2011
Format: Hardcover
The scientists searching for the God Particle -- the phenomenon that turned energy into mass at the time of the Big Bang to create the universe as we know it -- say they're closing in on their quarry.Of course, there's nothing God-like about what they're hunting, but the fact they've chosen to give it this name aptly illustrates our preoccupation throughout human history with deities of one kind or another.
Human beings created Gods (in our likeness?) around the time that we moved from hunter-gatherer status to tillers of the soil -- or maybe earlier. The Sumerians, ancient Greeks and then the Romans codified their Gods but it took the rise of Judaism and Christianity -- and later Islam -- to create the monotheistic, all-fearing, vengeful God handed down to us in the Common Era.
The Swerve: How the World Became Modern, by Stephen Greenblatt (W.W. Norton) explores how some of the early philosophers, notably Epicurus in 3rd century BCE Greece, and Lucretius in 1st century BCE Rome, challenged this belief in gods. Greenblatt has constructed a fascinating narrative around a 15th century ex-Papal secretary, Poggio Bracciolini, who found the forgotten manuscript of Lucretius, On The Nature of Things, in a monastery in southern Germany. He had it copied (in beautiful calligraphy as readable as modern printing), and soon it was influencing the work of Renaissance thinkers, insidiously undermining the conventional wisdoms of the Church. With the discovery, Greenblatt writes, "the world swerved in a new direction."
Epicurus had taught that the gods, if they exist, did not care at all about human beings. If the gods did not care, why should we? The purpose of life, Epicurus said, should be the attainment of pleasure, and one should believe only that which can be tested through direct observation. The universe is made up of atoms, moving randomly about.
Lucretius used these arguments to bolster further disbelief in gods. As Greenblatt sums up Lucretius' conclusions: "There is no master plan, no divine architect, no intelligent design "no reason to think that the earth or its inhabitants occupy a central place" in the universe.
The notion of atoms, and of evolution, was joined in The Nature of Things with the conviction that "there is a hidden natural explanation for everything that alarms or eludes you."
According to Lucretius, Greenblatt writes, 'there is no single moment of origin, no mythic scene of creation " There is no afterlife" When you are dead, there will be neither pleasure or pain, longing nor fear. You will not care, because you will not exist. There are no angels, demons or ghosts."
Greenblatt points to the rejection by Lucretius of the cruelty of religion, as manifested in the sacrifice of a child by its parent in order to please a god.
"Writing around 50 BCE he (Lucretius) could not, of course, have anticipated the great sacrifice myth that would come to dominate the Western world, but he would not have been surprised by it or the endlessly reiterated, prominently displayed images of the bloody, murdered son."
When the ancient manuscript found by Bracciolini began to circulate in Western Europe, the Church of course took action. An early strategy was to impugn the teachings of Epicurus as nothing more than a craving for gluttony and a sinful exercise in excess. More damaging was the persecution by the Holy Office (the Inquisition) of those who dared advance scientific thought.
The author of The Swerve draws an interesting comparison between the attack of the early Christians on scientific thought, and the enlightened pursuit of knowledge that had taken place in Egypt under the Ptolemaic kings before the birth of Christ. With their Greek heritage, they encouraged intellectual inquiry which led to the development of higher mathematics (geometry and calculus), posited that the earth was round, that the year was 365 1/4 days thus requiring a leap day every four years, and speculated that India could be reached by sailing west from Spain.
All of this knowledge and more, Greenblatt writes, was accumulated in half a million papyrus scrolls in the Alexandria Library. Early in the Christian era, Jews, pagans and Christians lived side by side in tolerance.
After the Roman emperor Constantine decreed Christianity as Rome's official religion, the attack on Alexandrian pluralism began. There must be no free-thinking inquiry, everything must give way to religious dogma. Soon, Christian mobs were vandalizing the great library, slaughtering pagans and expelling Jews. Rome's own libraries fell into disrepair, with the historian Marcellinus bemoaning that "Romans had virtually abandoned serious reading."
The collapse of the Roman Empire quickly followed. The Western world fell into a thousand years of stagnation and decay. Stephen Greenblatt's Swerve leaves me wondering how much of a factor was Christianity in those lamentable occurrences. Did the Christian suppression of scientific inquiry cost us ten centuries of progress? Where might we be today if the seeds planted in Alexandria had been allowed to flourish in Rome, Florence, Venice and London?
Ultimately they did of course bear fruit, in many ways and in many different places. Concludes Greenblatt: Thomas Jefferson would give "a momentous political document, at the founding of a new republic, a distinctly Lucretian turn. The turn was toward a government whose end was not only to secure the lives and the liberties of its citizens but also to serve 'the pursuit of Happiness.' The atoms of Lucretius had left their traces on the Declaration of Independence."

In MS, nerves in the brain are attacked and damaged by the immune system. This causes disability when nerve signals are broken up by the lesions. An MRI can show the damage and help to diagnose and determine the prognosis for multiple sclerosis patients. Multiple sclerosis drugs can slow the development of lesions and reduce the frequency of relapses. Learn more about brain lesions from multiple sclerosis here.

The sidebar of the RGB theme is supposed to be tabbed.
Now the tabs are just one list down, no tabs.

Here you can see how it is supposed to work http://xuyiyang.com/wordpress-themes/rgb/
I guess it has something to do with this - I did not change anything in theme and before it worked

Skill Level Intermediate
One of the things that I've discovered myself when I'm trying to learn something new is that it's one thing to understand how a slider or control works, and it's something completely different to apply what you've learned to different scenarios. Well, this movie is all about the application. Here in this movie, we'll work with a RAW file as it appears straight out of the camera. And we'll go through a bit of a workflow beginning in the Basic panel, making a few simple adjustments. Then we'll jump to the Detail panel, in order to improve the sharpness, and also to reduce the noise.
All right, well let's begin by opening up the Basic panel. Here we'll click on the Basic panel tab, and this image doesn't need a lot of work. So we'll keep things simple here. Start off by increasing the exposure a little bit. I'll also bring up a touch of contrast. In doing that it seems like the brightest tones in the image, the highlights on the face and the flowers are too bright, so I want to drop down my highlights, and that will help us to have a little bit more of an even tonality in the photograph.
And then next I'm going to go back and decrease my contrast a little bit more there as well. And then what I want to do is add a bit of clarity, which will add just some nice mid-tone contrast, and then we'll increase our vibrance just a few points. Again, just some really simple adjustments. Not a ton that we need to do with this photograph. Well, after we've finished our workflow here in the Basic panel, we're now ready to work in the Detail panel. So let's collapse or close the Basic panel, and let's open up the Detail panel and apply what we've learned.
Now one of the first things we learned is that we need to zoom into 100%. There are a couple ways we can do that. One way is to click on the one to one view in the Navigator panel. Another technique is to click on the warning indicator icon here in the Detail panel. Well, either way, let's zoom into 100% and take a look at what we have here in regards to the details in this photograph. Well, one of the things that I notice with the details is that there's quite a bit of sort of grain or luminance noise in the image.
I'm also seeing some color noise. If we're to zoom in close, let me do that just for demo purposes here, when I try four to one what we'll see is that the color noise is showing up on the skin, on the background. It's kind of everywhere. Well we can deal with that. So let's go back to our one to one view here so that we can evaluate this image. I should also point out that this is a photograph of one of my friends, Emily, on her big day, her wedding day with her flower girl. And Emily has the bluest eyes.
Can you believe that? I mean they're absolutely amazing. I think they're even bluer in real life. Well anyway with this image because I'm seeing some of the noise or the structure issue I want to target that first. So the best way to do that is to make sure you can see some important content, skin tone and background in this case. Then let's increase our luminance amount until that luminance noise or the artifacts that we have there, really just disappear. As we start to get rid of that, it's hard to tell how high to go because I'm seeing some of the color blotchiness.
So I'm going to drop down to my color slider and bring that up. It looks like we don't need to add a lot of color noise reduction. Really, really not that far at all. Now I can then go back to my luminance slider here, and just make sure I've found just the right spot. You know, sometimes you want to be careful not to go too high with luminance, because it will smooth out the photograph. Yet if it's a portrait of two beautiful people like this image here, you kind of want to cheat this up little bit higher. Because it can add a really nice, smooth, soft, kind of glow look to the overall image.
Now we don't want the image to go soft or kind of smudgy. So we're not going to take this too high. But I am going to bring it up a little bit higher than I typically would. Say if it was a photograph of her groom, I wouldn't quite bring this to this level. I would drop it down so the image was a little bit tougher. Alright, well what about the detail slider? With the detail slider I'm going to drop this down. I want less details that are noticeable, less luminance details. For the contrast slider, what I've noticed in my own workflow is that the contrast slider is a bit of a tag-along to the luminance slider.
The higher the luminance, well I noticed that contrast kind of tags along and sort of sneaks up there. It doesn't ever really surpass it or go past that but it does tend to gravitate towards that area. This isn't always true but it's just the way that I've tended to see how that works. Alright, well now that we've worked on the noise reduction, the image looks a little bit too soft. We need to bring back a bit of the snap to the photograph. To do that, let's go up to our sharpening controls. The first thing that we need to do isn't start at the top.
Rather we need to go down to the detail slider. Remember when you have a portrait typically you're detail amount will be really low, maybe somewhere between zero and ten. With this image I'm going to drop it all the way down to zero to just get rid of the sharpening that's applied to the little teeny details. I don't want to bring out any of those. Next, we'll bring up our sharpening amount. With the sharpening slider I like to think of sort of sneaking this over to the right. You know, we aren't interested in sharpening the photograph to over-exaggerate the sharpening.
Rather, we want it to look clean, crisp, and natural because this is input sharpening. This is the first stage of the sharpening that we're applying. We're taking a RAW file, in a sense I think we're bringing that RAW file to a happier place. All right, well what about radius? Well, very rarely will you need to modify this. This is a high resolution file with a really high end camera, so a radius of about one, I think, works well. We could try to bring it up, but then what tends to happen is the edges just glow too much.
With this photograph we won't want to go too high, but maybe a little bit higher would look good. Now what about masking? Now some people tend to think, well just crank your masking all the way up. That will limit the sharpening from the areas that you don't want it. But what we have to do is be a little bit more intelligent than that and say let's use the shortcut modifier key. Hold down the Option on Mac, Alt on Windows, and let's click and drag this to the right. As we drag this to the right we can see that the area which is black won't be sharpened, the area that's white will.
Now if we go too far with this, what it will do is apply edge sharpening. In a sense it will make the image look edgier. Now that's a little of a bad comparison but in a sense it does. This works well if you're photographing a football player or maybe if you're photographing a building. With this image, we probably want to have a bit more of a natural transition from that area which is sharp to the areas which aren't. Now this again isn't always the case, but what I want you to start to think about is, how can you apply this amount? And really think about the look and the feeling that you want in the photograph.
And, how can you use these controls to try to accomplish that? Now after you've done all of that work with the sliders, one of the most important steps to integrate into your workflow is to click on the Before and After view, by clicking the toggle or flip switch right here. This shows us the image without any of these controls applied. You want to look at the image in some important areas, say like the background, the hair, the skin tone, and the face. And then click on the toggle switch again. And you want to make sure that you've actually improved the image.
You know, sometimes I'll click on that switch, and realize that the photograph looks worse, because I've gone too high with my sharpening, or maybe too high with my luminance noise reduction. With this image I think it looks really good and natural. It doesn't look overdone, yet what I do notice here is that I think that I could actually go a little bit higher with my amount. I think I was a little bit too cautious with that. Probably because I, I'm just cautious of over-sharpening photographs, which is a good thing, but I think I didn't go quite far enough, and I only was able to realize that realistically, you know, because I clicked on the flip switch.
So again in your own workflow make sure you take that final step. After you've done that what you also want to do is zoom out. So here, I'll go back to my navigator, and just click on this fit in view so I can see the entire image. Why is zooming out important? Well it's important because sometimes you can focus in on one little area of the image and neglect another area which is equally as important. With this photograph there really isn't another area. The bride, it's her day, that's the most important part of the photograph.
I'm want to make sure she looks her best. Yet, occasionally I'll zoom out on a photograph and realize, oh, man, I need to, I need to go check out this other area. So if ever you notice that, just zoom in on that area and then evaluate it and make any needed tweaks to those adjustments so that the whole photograph looks its best.

Millions of fans (or those who merely enjoy seeing half-naked models in fancy undies) tuned in to watch the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, but while you were drooling in front of your television sets, we had to wonder if some of those angels were drooling for a cheeseburger. Seriously. This isn't exactly new news. Back in April, Candice Swanepoel and her thin frame made headlines when we learned that her contract with the lingerie company was in jeopardy due to her dramatic weight loss (which she later commented on). But watching the show, we can't help but remember the days when models like Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum and Gisele Bündchen took over the catwalk with their curves. »

Supermodel Elle Macpherson has revealed that she loves "the way Gisele Bündchen looks". The 47-year-old Aussie, nicknamed "The Body", says she can relate to the Brazilian model's versatility and "wholesomeness". She told Vogue.co.uk: "I love the way Gisele looks. She is obviously totally my DNA taste [sic]. She's also really natural-looking. She's growing her brand; she's staying true to herself; she's versatile; she's also a great mum – she's a cool girl. "I like what she represents. And there's a naturalness and a wholesomeness about her. And I understand – from the '80s and the '90s – those were the kind of girls who were successful. I relate to her." She added: "She gets dressed up when she has to for work, but other than that she just looks unbelievable in a pair of jeans." © Splash News »

Leonardo DiCaprio may be getting older—he turns 37 today—but some things about him haven't changed. Like the fact that he still loves him some models! The actor, who has romanced Bar Refaeli and Gisele Bündchen, hit New York this week to enjoy the company of Angels at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show afterparty on Wednesday night. Page Six reports that he was particularly interested in Karlie Kloss during the bash at Phd at the Dream Downtown. He also partied with Kanye West and Beyoncé earlier this week at the Darby following West's concert with Jay-z.

Boston bike ride!
Gisele Bündchen and her husband, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, wheel around Beantown on Sunday with son Benjamin Rein, 23 months, and bundled-up pet pup Vida.

"My children, they are like white canvases," Bündchen, 31, says.
"When Benjamin eats broccoli, he thinks it's dessert!"
Elder brother Jack, 4, is Brady's son with Blue Bloods star Bridget Moynahan.

Move aside, Christina Hendricks. Nicole Scherzinger just replaced the Mad Men star as the new face of London Fog—modeling for the brand's winter 2011 and spring 2012 ad campaigns. Other past brand ambassadors also include Eva Longoria and Gisele Bündchen. While this appears to be a tough crowd to follow, something tells us the 33-year-old star will do just fine unfastening those buttons for these sexy ads. Actually, the former Pussycat Doll will probably be fastening more buttons, as she'll be sporting some majorly fab trenchcoats and other outerwear and accessory pieces from the upcoming collections. We are sure that this doll fogged up the camera lense to make this campaign »

Supermodel Gisele Bündchen's racy lingerie commercial that encourages women to use their sexual charm to break bad news to their husbands or boyfriends, has Brazil in an uproar. The supermodel is under fire in her for stripping down to an underwear and bra as she confesses to her onscreen husband that she had crashed his car, maxed out his credit card and invited her mom to stay with them. To calm a furious husband, a voiceover suggests that female viewers should trot around in Hope lingerie's underwear line, explaining, "You're a Brazilian woman — use your charm." »

Supermodel Gisele Bündchen has been parading around in her underwear for over a decade without drawing complaints. But a sexy new commercial featuring the Brazilian bombshell has angered the government in her native Brazil. Watch it below: In the ad, a fully clothed Gisele tells her off-screen beau that she wrecked the car. A voiceover tells her to "use her charms." She then delivers the same news wearing nothing but Hope bra and panties, for which she gets a thumbs up. Brazilian officials released the following statement (excerpted in The Guardian ) after receiving six complaints from viewers: "The campaign promotes the misguided stereotype of a woman as a sexual object of her husband and ignores the major advances we have achieved in deconstructing sexist practices and thinking." "The model, Gisele Bündchen, encourages Brazilian women to use their 'charm' ... to lessen possible reactions from their partners," the statement asserts. It further »

There are actually people who don't want to see Gisele Bündchen half-naked?! As crazy as it might sound, it's true. A Brazilian government agency says it wants a TV ad—which stars one of Hollywood's hottest moms shilling Hope lingerie—to be taken off the air, but it's not because they think the Victoria's Secret angel is too sexy for Brazil, they think the ad is sexist. So who exactly is behind this and what's their reasoning? The Women's Rights Secretariat said in a statement today that it has asked the National Advertising Council to suspend the ad, saying it reinforces stereotypes of women as sex objects.

Just when it seemed like life couldn't get any better for this Brazilian supermodel, here comes Massachussetts' finest to evoke just a little bit more envy from the rest of us plain folks. While most mere mortals feel the full force of the law (or at least the radar gun) when their Mph inches up past the legal limits, speeding tickets seem to be just one more thing Gisele Bündchen is immune to. At least, if her run-in with state police over the weekend is anything to go by. Tom Brady's wife was cruising around Barnstable, Mass., Saturday, when a state trooper clocked her Cadillac SUV going about 70 mph in a 55 zone. And yes, her two children were buckled safely in the back »

This should make her little monsters proud. Lady Gaga just landed on Forbes' annual World's 100 Most Powerful Women list, ranking higher than quite a few other famous females we know and love. So, where exactly did she place? While the "Born This Way" songstress came in at No. 11, no entertainment-related celebs actually made it into the top 10, which was dominated by the likes of Hillary Clinton (No. 2) and Michelle Obama (No. 8), with German Chancellor Angela Merkel holding down the top spot. But Gaga did beat out such pop culture folks as Oprah Winfrey (No. 14), Beyoncé (No. 18), Angelina Jolie (No. 29), Ellen DeGeneres (No. 55), Gisele Bündchen (No. 60) and Harry »

Ten years after his breakthrough, Don Cheadle has changed gears. He tells John Patterson about pranks, poker and that infamous 'London' accent
This is not the first time I've met Don Cheadle. That was 10 years ago, and I remind him of this when we meet again at his office in a fancy part of Santa Monica, about five blocks from the ocean. He told me back then to meet him in a public park in Santa Monica at 8am (thanks a bunch, Don) where I duly fetched up 10 minutes early. After about 20 minutes' wait, I noticed a young man lying spreadeagled under a tree 50ft away, looking hungover or derelict. After another 10 minutes, I started getting paranoid, as I remembered that Cheadle had spent time recently with master-prankster George Clooney on Ocean's Eleven. The more my thoughts ran this way, the more the man under the tree began vaguely to resemble the lean, »

Representations for Genetic and Evolutionary Algorithms
your country
In the field of genetic and evolutionary algorithms (GEAs), a large amount of theory and empirical study has been focused on operators and test problems, while problem representation has often been taken as given. This book breaks with this tradition and provides a comprehensive overview on the influence of problem representations on GEA performance. The book summarizes existing knowledge regarding problem representations and describes how basic properties of representations, such as redundancy, scaling, or locality, influence the performance of GEAs and other heuristic optimization methods. Using the developed theory, representations can be analyzed and designed in a theory-guided matter. The theoretical concepts are used for solving integer optimization problems and network design problems more efficiently. The book is written in an easy-readable style and is intended for researchers, practitioners, and students who want to learn about representations. This second edition extends the analysis of the basic properties of representations and introduces a new chapter on the analysis of direct representations.less
