Even without the scalding hot summer temperatures, most people tend to spend the majority of their time indoors, where levels of common pollutants can be as much as five times greater compared to outside. Following some simple guidelines can lead to an improved indoor environment and cost savings while also lessening the impact on natural resources. ┬Ā
Research shows that individuals spend an average of 90 percent of their time inside and data from the Environmental Protection Agency indicates that levels of several common organic pollutants are two to five times higher indoors. Many of those pollutants come from volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, that are released from household cleaning products.
One way of reducing VOCs in the home is to use fewer cleaning products.
Select cleaning agents that you can use for more than one purpose.┬Ā Using fewer cleaners also means storing fewer chemicals in your house.
Another tip for clearing the air indoors is to use homemade cleaning supplies or rely on natural-based commercial products, which tend to be more convenient, but can be more costly than other options.
ItŌĆÖs important to keep in mind that no cleaning product is 100 percent safe, and terms like ŌĆśnaturalŌĆÖ and ŌĆśgreenŌĆÖ do not necessarily mean the product is nontoxic.
Consumers also should beware of greenwashing, which occurs when companies spend more money and resources advertising products and services as ŌĆ£greenŌĆØ rather than actually adopting environmentally sound practices.
There is no standard definition of the term ŌĆ£green,ŌĆØ and its use is not regulated. Likewise, the terms ŌĆ£environmentally friendlyŌĆØ and ŌĆ£biodegradableŌĆØ are only loosely defined.
When choosing a ŌĆśgreenŌĆÖ product, look for a third-party certification.
One common third-party certification in the United States is the Green Seal, an independent non-profit organization that certifies products through credible, science-based and transparent standards.
Another common third-party certification is the EPAŌĆÖs Design for the Environment. The DfE label helps consumers and businesses identify cleaning products that work well and are cost-effective and safer for the environment. ┬Ā
Regardless of the reasons why people seek out healthier alternatives to cleaning agents, another easy way to enhance the indoor environment is to decrease the need for cleaning supplies in the first place. ┬Ā
Consider using preventative techniques such as wiping up spills immediately, avoiding pouring grease down drains, vacuuming weekly and placing doormats at entryways to reduce the amount of dirt being tracked inside the house. Other measures such as damp mopping floors instead of sweeping, dusting with a damp cloth, rinsing out showers and bathtubs after each use to cut down on soap scum buildup and pouring boiling water down drains weekly to prevent buildup also can help reduce dust and the need to use cleaning products. ┬Ā
When it comes time to clean, itŌĆÖs important to use good equipment. For example, although vacuums with HEPA filters are expensive, they are a solid investment, especially for individuals with health issues. Also, microfiber mops and cloths are effective. So, too, are two-chamber mop buckets, which are designed to stop soil and dirt from re-contaminating surfaces as they are cleaned. Two-chamber buckets also reduce the amount of cleaning agent required.
Following some simple guidelines can register significant benefits. YouŌĆÖre reducing the dust and pollutants in your home, which is the goal, while also cutting down on the need for artificial air fresheners. If you still want to freshen the indoors, try white vinegar, cinnamon sticks, or, weather permitting, just air out the house by opening windows and doors.

Despite shedding a few tears, "king of dangdut" Rhoma Irama on Monday refused to apologize or express any regret for his religious slurs which were targeted at Jakarta vice gubernatorial candidate Basuki Tjahaja Purnama.
Rhoma, known for his religious-themed songs, was summoned by the Jakarta Elections Supervisory Committee (Panwaslu) on Monday to explain his sermon made last week at the Al Isra Mosque in Tanjung Duren, West Jakarta, where he attacked Basuki's religious background.
"Why should I apologize? I have done nothing wrong because I never said bad things about Jokowi-Ahok," Rhoma said, referring to gubernatorial candidate and Solo Mayor Joko Widodo and running mate Basuki by their nicknames.
"I never said that Jokowi is a Javanese and a Muslim or Ahok is a Chinese and a Christian," he said, adding that he was only quoting the Koran which he claimed instructed Muslims to only vote for Muslim leaders. "I must do what Allah has commanded."
That call would greatly favor incumbent Governor Fauzi Bowo and running mate Nachrowi Ramli, who are both Muslims.
There is evidence that contradicts Rhoma's claim of never explicitly attacking Jokowi or Ahok, though — a video of the sermon that was provided to Panwaslu.
"Joko Widodo has greater ambition and is using the governorship as a stepping stone. Eventually the one leading Jakarta will be Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, a Chinese in ethnicity and a Christian," Rhoma said in the video, copies of which were shown to journalists. "If the capital of a Muslim country is led by a Christian, it would be an embarrassment."
Rhoma arrived at the Panwaslu office in Central Jakarta in a white Islamic garb, accompanied by a handful of fans who shouted praise to Allah as he entered the building.
The artist was in tears as he explained why he asked Jakarta residents to vote for a Muslim leader.
"I was only reciting An-Nisa Surah verse 144, in which God says firmly that the faithful are banned from voting for a kafir [infidel] as their leader," Rhoma insisted before being questioned.
"Muslims who vote for a non-Muslim leader become an enemy of God."
Ramdansyah, the Panwaslu Jakarta chairman, said his office had received the explanation it sought from Rhoma and that he was dismissed.
"For nearly one hour, Rhoma clarified his sermon at the Al-Isra mosque. He has explained his view and according to Panwaslu this is enough," he said.
Ramdansyah said Panwaslu had not reached a conclusion as to whether a campaign violation had been committed.
Panwaslu, Ramdansyah continued, is set to solicit information from the campaign teams of Fauzi and Jokowi today.
He said earlier that even if no campaign violation could be proven, it was still wrong of Rhoma to use a religious sermon to attack another individual, particularly if the attack was along religious and ethnic lines.
Jokowi and Ahok won 43 percent of the vote in the first round of balloting on July 11, ahead of Fauzi and Nachrowi, who received 34 percent.
Under the 2004 Law on Regional Governance, electoral campaigns may not insult other candidates or parties, especially by attacking their religion, ethnicity, race or group affiliation.
Those restrictions are collectively known as Sara.
The law stipulates prison sentences of between three and 18 months and fines of between Rp 600,000 to Rp 6 million ($64 to $640) for violating the rule.

Jones County's 5-6, 7-8 and 9-10 all-star teams all finished second in their age groups.
Jones County's 11-12 boys went down to Waycross and played Nov. 9 in a tune-up tournament before the Gray Bowl and won both games, downing Glynn County 14-0 and then beating Effingham County 8-6 for the championship.
"Semaj Ingram and Maleek Wooten carried the load in the first game. They are both halfbacks on the team," coach Jamey Huckeba said. "Fullback Antwann Clowers blocked well and had some good runs in key situations. The last game was very exciting. Quarterback Jake Lanford came up with a crucial first down on a bootleg pass. He saw the receiver was covered and scrambled around the end getting just enough yardage."
Last weekend in the Gray Bowl, the 11-12 boys ran past Monroe County 40-6 and Putnam County 30-12 to win the championship. Wooten had two kickoff returns for touchdowns, and both he and Ingram had several long runs.

EDITORIAL: The founding fathers had it right all along
Nearly all new legislation coming out of Washington, D.C., is an outgrowth of a crisis — whether real or created and heightened by politicians who want the public to believe they're taking care of our needs.
Instead of drilling down to the root cause of a problem and solving it, politicians pass sweeping laws or issue executive orders that rake in people who had nothing to do with the problem. In too many cases, these actions further erode public freedom and undermine the U.S. Constitution, which becomes less and less relevant in the process.
President Obama's push to control gun ownership is just the latest in a series of executive orders and legislation about which America's founding fathers warned us. Benjamin Franklin, for example, said, "They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Political rhetoric about hunters not needing certain kinds of guns or ammunition clips serves no purpose in dealing with the murders that have occurred in schools and elsewhere. It is shameful that elected officials at any level of government exploit the kind of tragedy that occurred in Newtown, Conn., by enacting laws or rules that limit the constitutional rights of the public.
It appears that many who refer with disdain to the Second Amendment of the Constitution have not bothered to read it. The amendment simply reads: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
George Mason, Virginia's delegate to the Constitutional Convention, addressed this amendment by saying, "Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
Like most of the Constitution, and as several of the founding fathers made clear, this amendment is there to protect citizens from an overreaching government. It does not confer a right to bear arms, as some proclaim. Instead, it forbids the government from curtailing that right. Furthermore, it is not there just to protect the rights of hunters, as much of the rhetoric has suggested.
It should not surprise anyone that "gun-free zones," such as schools, act as an open invitation to predators who look for places with the least armed resistance.
The most restrictive gun laws are imposed in large cities, where the greatest number of murders are committed. If gun controls were effective in preventing murders, then Chicago would be one of the safest places to live. The city makes it very difficult and expensive for its citizens to own a firearm of any kind. But Obama's adopted hometown reported 513 murders last year, a 15 percent increase over 2011.
Yet, a look at President Obama's gun law proposals shows that they are almost identical to those in Chicago.
In contrast to Chicago, the state of Vermont has a very high rate of gun ownership, along with the least restrictive laws of any state. Currently, it is the only state which allows a citizen to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. Vermont has a crime rate that is the second lowest in the nation. Maine, which has the lowest rate, has almost identical firearm ownership laws.
It would be advisable for lawmakers to not only consider what the founding fathers placed in the Constitution, but the warnings that they gave us about the erosion of freedom.

6TH Generation GamersHardware & Tech group with 500 members, open to all members
The 6th gen is the 128-bit era, this is the time of the ps2, xbox, game cube and sega dreamcast, there was apperintly another console called the XaviXPort...
I'm a strategy games fan. If i'm here, it's to find new units or gameplay to play a better and better game everyday. I'm following Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 mods, mainly Paradox. I love aircraft, and jazz.
0 comments by Westonbirt on May 6th, 2013
Let's state it outright, I didn't like C&C4, and I was not the only one. This was a very polarizing game, some loved it, some hated it. I simply didn't like it. I found that it lacked many elements essential to the franchise, including base building, and I think the developers felt the anger since. C&C4 was ok, but did not really belong to the main line of the franchise.
And because of this alot of hope was put into "Generals 2". It was announced, but not explained, and stirred up expectation all around the place. Generals and Zero Hour were critical successes, undoubtedly and this was maintained by alot of excellent, "AAA mods", such as Shockwave, Rise of the Reds, etc... that helped it tremendously.
Now "G2" has been announced and there are reasons to rejoice and reasons to calm down :
And EA has been a catastrophe in the last year and has shown utter incompetence at mostly everything. They have completely screwed up SimCity, their always on DRM has shown to be a complete joke. They've shown that they are incompetent at the most of what they do, and have clearly chosen the F2P model because it tends to harvest lots of money by having a small group of regular payers. The question for me is how you're going to implement a system like this here. Either way there will be limited content, but which one is the question. Inaccessible faction or units ? OUCH ! Paying for single campaign ? OUCH ! It could turn out good, but I really don't trust EA.

We all know how important fitness is to cricket, but nets don't realistically recreate the fitness you need to get a big score.
That's where BATEX© (BATing EXercise) comes in.
Normal netting rarely tests batsmen's endurance. It doesn't accurately reflect the effects of fatigue on the batsman's skill levels. But BATEX does exactly that.
Designed as part of PhD research by Laurence Houghton, BATEX uses a simple audio track to change nets to simulate the physical demands of batting. This is done by BATEX requiring running between the wickets of shuttle runs the length of a cricket pitch in 5 over stages (lasting 21 minutes).
You can download a sample of the file from here to play in your nets. Ad you can buy the full set from this page.
Each of the six BATEX stages has a match scenario. Balls are delivered by a bowling machine (or thrown by a coach/player). An audible CD track is used to notify the batsmen the running demands for the coming over. The batsman decides when to complete the required runs in the over.
The six stages, with rest periods, link together to form a 2 h 20 min simulated innings, which is the typical length of a one day hundred. During stages 1, 3 and 5 players run at a slower pace, whereas during stages 2, 4 and 6 the batsman is required to run at maximal speed.
For training purposes, BATEX stages can be used independently or in any chosen combination. Each BATEX stage has a different workload (e.g. Stage 1 - based on the run frequency of typical one day vs. Stage 5 – based on the average running between demands of a Twenty20 innings).
The files can be used to:
- Give nets an increased fitness and tactical element
- Develop batting skills when tired
- Practice concentration skills like switching on and off between balls
- Test fitness during preseason
- Practice running between the wickets

Volleyball Splits Day One at Rice Invitational
Sept. 13, 2013
HOUSTON, Texas – The NC State women's volleyball team split a pair of matches on Friday afternoon at the Rice Invitational, suffering its first loss of the season to the Missouri Tigers, 3-0, before defeating Houston Baptist in its second match of the day, 3-1.
"We had our chances against Missouri," said head coach Bryan Bunn. "They're a very efficient team and didn't give us a lot of points and we didn't earn as many as we should have. We bounced back in the second match of the day and played well against Houston Baptist."
The Tigers (8-0) won the battle of the unbeatens as they were able to hand the Wolfpack (7-1) its first setback. The first set went Missouri's way by a 25-20 tally, before State pushed them to the brink in the second set, dropping a narrow 27-25 decision. In the third set, the Tigers outscored the Pack, 25-17.
The teams battled throughout the first set, tying the score 10 different times before the Tigers took the lead for good. In the second set, State jumped out to an early lead, winning seven of the first nine points decided to take a 7-2 lead in the set before Missouri head coach Wayne Kreklow called a timeout. After the timeout, NC State extended its advantage to 15-8 before Missouri went on a 5-0 run to make the score, 15-13.
Missouri fought off three set points as State was unable to capitalize after leading the second frame, 24-21. The Tigers tied it at 24 before closing out the set on a 3-0 run to claim a 27-25 victory.
In the second match of the day, NC State took command in the early stages, winning the first set, 25-11, before claiming the second by a 25-17 margin. Houston Baptist (5-5) rallied to take the third set, 25-21, but the Wolfpack would have none of it in the fourth, winning 25-14.
NC State never trailed in the three sets that it won - the first, second and fourth. The Wolfpack responded to dropping the third set by gaining an early 3-0 lead in the fourth frame, before a service error interrupted the run. Following the error, State scored four consecutive points to give the Pack a 7-1 lead.
State's great defense was on display in the final minutes of the fourth set as the Wolfpack forced Houston Baptist to commit two attacking errors to end the match.
Junior middle blocker Alesha Wilson led the Pack offense against Houston Baptist with 17 kills and a stellar .485 attack average. Classmate Dariyan Hopper tallied the next-best total with 12 in the second contest, following an 11 kill performance in the first match. Meredith Richardson chipped in with nine, while Rachel Buckley contributed eight.
"Alesha did a good job of taking care of the ball and scored a lot of points for us," Bunn added.
Tanna Aljoe, a sophomore setter from Grapevine, Texas, recorded 66 assists on the day posting 25 against Missouri and 41 versus Houston Baptist. She also contributed 11 digs in the first match.
On defense, Alston Kearns notched 25 digs against the Huskies, after registering 16 against the Tigers. Kearns' totals led the Wolfpack in that category in both matches. Three other players tallied double-digit digs in the second match as freshmen Eve Davis and Rachel Eppley posted 13 and 11, respectively, while junior Nikki Glass contributed 11.
NC State returns to action on Saturday, Sept. 14 against the host Rice Owls at 3 p.m. ET inside the Tudor Fieldhouse.

Good food, good fun, good times! Hot spot on Thursday for tasty drinks and tasty singles scene. ha!
I highly recommend going to The Shore. They have a $4 all drinks and all food happy hour!! Then usually around 9pm they have entertainment til close. Beautiful location and great staff. Definitely a must!!
The Shore has been our favorite place for great food at reasonable prices, excellent bands and DJs that are sure to lift your spirits. The staff and management are top notch. I had my birthday party at Shore and they bent over backwards to ensure that we all enjoyed ourself. The $4 food menu and $4 all drinks for happy...
Great food & service in a really cool atmosphere.
The Shore is absolutely the worst bar to go to in Hermosa. Specifically the bouncers and one of the managers are probably the most rude people I have ever met in my life. If you are looking for a Hollywood type bar without a cool scene then this is the place for you. Understandably this bar like many bars will...
I ate at the shore the other night and i will be going back very soon. It was my first time and absolutly loved it. I took the chefs suggestions and was very pleased. I highly suggest you check it out.
We are a mid 30's couple with kids who live in Hermosa Beach and are not ones to go out to the pier ave/hermosa ave restaurants. We think they're for the younger generation. However, a week ago we decided to try out The Shore on Hermosa Ave, and to our surprise we weren't disappointed. The first thing you'll notice when...

Google yet to comment publically on what caused the problem.
Android app developers lost out this weekend as the Android Market randomly declined payments from buyers hoping to download paid-for applications.
The outage, which ran from Saturday until 12:15pm on Monday, also prevented Android users from buying apps. Many users blamed the implentation of the related apps feature on the Android Market although Google hasn't made any public comment yet.
As of Monday afternoon the issue appeared to be resolved, with payments going through again, but throughout the weekend many developers took to Google's official support forums seeking help from the Android team and demanding compensation from Google.
Android developer Fouldsr said: "I have emailed (prospective buyers), but they may have now purchased alternatives. Probably lost a few hundred pounds, will Google compensate?"
We await comment from Google about what the actual issue was, but there's a lot of angry developers out there with some empty Christmas coffers.

What does a sharp pain in one of my testicles mean?
Hard to believe as you're gripping your goods, but chances are it's nothing serious. "Any tiny nerve that you pinch or irritate can cause pain," says J. Stephen Jones, M.D., author of The Complete Prostate Book. Start to worry if the pain lasts more than an hour. Although uncommon for men past the age of 25, severe groin pain may be caused by testicular torsion — when a testicle twists on its blood supply. "This is the you-think-you're-going-to-die kind of pain," Dr. Jones says. In this case, time is critical — go straight to an E.R. If blood is blocked for more than 6 hours, your testicle will suffer permanent damage or die. Some other potential nut crackers:
* If there's also redness or swelling, you may have an infection in your epididymis, a tube that carries sperm. Epididymitis often forms spontaneously, but on rare occasions it can be from a sexually transmitted bacteria. In either case, antibiotics will clear it up.
* Hernias or kidney stones can cause the brain to sense pain in the wrong area. "It's similar to the concept of feeling pain in your left arm while having a heart attack," Dr. Jones says.
* Occasionally, testicular cancer can cause pain. "If you feel a lump at all, you need to see a doctor," says Dr. Jones.

The food is good n the drinks too but for some reason the service is bad they all be in the corner I always have to wait long before any one comes
Posted by Anonymous on 04/16/2013
I was there for lunch recently and it went well. The service was quick and friendly, the food was good. I went back again and I was served half the portion I was supposed to get and it just did not look right - the manager knew it and the server knew it from the way they kept their distance! It was no longer the quick and friendly service, but something cold and aloof. I could not help but wonder what happened to the other portion of the food, until somebody informed me that chances are I was given leftovers after I talked to them about my experience. It is very disappointing! I am not going back again and I would not recommend it.
Posted by J D on 03/02/2012
When this place first opened, the food was great. Now, the quality of the food is below par. The roasted chicken is old, over salted and dry. The rice doesn't taste fresh, maduros (sweet plantains) are never sweet and just taste old and soggy. I was stubborn and hopeful thinking that "this time they'll get it right" every time I craved there once upon a time good food, but after tonight's order, they haven't sprung back. I have now officially given up :(

We have been customers since the restaurant was opened. The customer service has been outstanding, they treat you like friends, love kids, and despite being very busy will remember you and greet you with enthusiasm. The atmosphere is very welcoming and informal, the place is cozy, with an original tropical decoration. The food is always fresh and delicious. Everything is made from scratch (starting from the french fries). Highly recommend the "Lunch Menu of the day" and their chicken (all at good price, really delicious and enough for 2 people), many times (in our opinion) better than the more expensive "a la carte" items. The shakes or "batidas" are amazing, and an appetizer called "Mariquitas" (curly thin cut green plantains with a fresh dipping sauce) is a must try. Remember to ask for it because (for some reason) is not written in all the menus, but is always available and freshly made, perfect to compliment a meal. The coffee is delicious and if you want an exotic touch they can add a bit of nutmeg. A few times when we had ordered breakfasts they have forgotten an extra coffee or so, but when we call they send it immediately. Depending on the time of the day the place may be crowded, but they will always take good care of you.

I live a few blocks away from here and started ordering from them this week. Friday night, I stayed in and ordered the ropa vieja w/ yuca fongo. It was actually pretty good, although there could have been a bit more sauce. So, Sunday I had a few friends over and we decided to order from here again. We ordered the Paella ($22) which is supposed to come with lobster and another ropa... total bill came to about $43 with tip. When our Paella arrived, there was no lobster to be found. There was an empty shell of part of the lobster body (the part you can't eat). So I called the restaurant hoping they would send the delivery guy back with a lobster claw or something of the sort... I wasn't expecting there to be an entire lobster, but at least something edible. After being on the phone with an extremely rude hostess for about 15 minutes, I decided to give up and just never order from them again. I explained the situation and the woman kept telling me the "chef said he put lobster in it"... apparently, the fact that I was looking at my paella, void of lobster and just spent $43, plus another 23 two days earlier made no difference. She tried to offer me a dessert. I explained, I didn't pay $22 for a dessert. There is much better tasting paella in the neighborhood.

SANAA, Yemen — Chanting "death to America" and "death to Israel," hundreds of protesters angered by an anti-Islam film stormed the U.S. Embassy compound in Yemen's capital and burned the American flag on Thursday, the latest in a series of attacks on American diplomatic missions in the Middle East.
Protesters storm U.S. Embassy in Yemen
The string of assaults this week, in Yemen, Egypt and the storming of a U.S. consulate in Libya that killed four Americans, point to an increased boldness among Islamists who have become more powerful since last year's wave of revolts toppled authoritarian leaders.
The anger over the movie denigrating Islam's Prophet Muhammad has also put the region's new leaders — some of whom are themselves Islamists — in a difficult corner, between a base demanding a free hand to respond to the insult and U.S. pressure to crack down. In the past, protests have broken out over perceived insults to Islam from the West, but in Arab countries they never escalated to the degree of breaching embassies, suggesting now hard-liners feel they can act with impunity.
Yemen's president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, quickly apologized to the U.S. for the embassy attack and vowed track down the culprits, just as Libya's president did. Egypt's Islamist President Mohammad Morsi, who had been slow to speak out on Tuesday's assault on the embassy in Cairo, promised Thursday that his government would not allow attacks on diplomatic missions.
U.S. officials suspect the Libya assault may have been a planned terror operation rather than a spontaneous mob assault. While protesters in other countries were unarmed, a crowd bristling with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades overwhelmed the consulate in Benghazi late Tuesday, killing the ambassador and three other Americans.
Protests are also erupting in other countries. In Egypt, protesters clashed with riot police who had pushed them away from the embassy the night before.
In Iraq, several hundred Shiite hardliners protested in Baghdad's Shiite stronghold of Sadr City. The leader of an Iranian-backed Shiite militia that previously attacked U.S. troops, Asaib Ahl al-Haq, threatened anti-U.S. attacks.
The movie "will put all the American interests in Iraq in danger," the militia leader, Qais al-Khazali, told The Associated Press.
In Iran, about 50 protesters shouted, "Death to America," outside the Swiss Embassy, which looks after U.S. diplomatic interests in Iran. Riot police kept the crowd away from the building.
Hundreds converged Thursday on the U.S. Embassy in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, which is heavily barricaded because of past al-Qaida-linked attacks on the compound. Yemeni guards at checkpoints on roads leading up to the compound did nothing to stop the crowd, said Ahmed Darwish, a witness who was at the scene.
The crowd swarmed over embassy's entrance gate. Men with iron bars smashed the thick, bullet-proof glass windows of the entrance building while others clambered up the wall. Some ripped the embassy's sign off the outer wall.
Inside the compound grounds, they brought down the American flag in the courtyard and replaced it with a black banner bearing Islam's declaration of faith — "There is no God but Allah." They did not enter the main building housing the embassy's offices, some distance away from the entry reception. Demonstrators set tires ablaze and pelted the compound with rocks.

What is Semantic Markup in SEO?
Semantic markup is a way to help the search engines, browsers and apps be able to identify the role of a specific block of information in a document. It provides a code that is machine readable so that it provides a definition of the type of content being shared. Right now some of the most commonly used formats include micro data, RDFa, and microformats. Each one of these has a slightly different structure but they are all supported by Google and programmers can use whichever format is easiest for them to use.
Advantages of Using Semantic Markup
Using semantic markup on your WebPages has a number of benefits with some being more significant than others. For one thing, the markup will be a lot cleaner and easier to understand. Since your content and the design become two different entities, content will never expire along with a design. It also allows content editors to spend more time developing content and less time on design. Semantic markup is very beneficial for search engines as they will be able to index the site properly which can give better rankings to content which is relevant to a search query.
By using semantic markup, one piece of content can be used on many devices. WebPages will actually become smaller by about 40% which means that there is a lot faster load time. Content is more accessible to both humans and search engines and one style sheet is able to control a whole website.
Changing the Appearance of Tags
Using semantic markup will mean that the presentational elements are alleviated from code but replaced with more meaningful ones. One example is to not use bold or italic codes to indicate a heading tag. Instead, simply use a heading tag. For example:
Bad use: This is my Site
Better use: <h>This is my Site

Semantic markup is more about the code instead of how the site actually looks. It gives meaning to the structure of the site without regard to formatting, fonts or colors. The text in the code basically remains the same, but the difference is in how the text is now marked up; or what tags are now used to label content. In the example, the second tag is market up with a Heading 1 tag (
). This immediately sets it apart as a top level heading.
Why Put Emphasis on Semantic Markup?
We understand that site visitors are not going to be looking at the HTML code on a site. Instead they will be looking at the content displayed on a page, probably with little or no regard to the actual code that is being used. Most site visitors will not even have an understanding about how the HTML code works. But there is a visitor that will care about how the code is structured – the search engine spiders. The search engine is going to process the HTML code which is contained on your site and all the HTML tags are actually going to mean something to them. Spiders will look at the keywords in the heading tags to determine what kind of content is being displayed on the site. And because of semantic search the search engine will start here to determine what types of user questions the page is going to answer.
Getting Started with Semantic Markup
The best and easiest way to start with semantic markup is just to dive in and begin from scratch. Think about each portion of your content and ask yourself if it is a paragraph, a heading, or a subheading. Is it a numbered list where order is an important feature? Maybe it is simply a bulleted list and order is not important at all. Once you answer these questions, you can start adding your block-level markups like headings or subheadings, ordered lists, paragraphs, bulleted lists or extended quotes. You can also use a markup table when data is best presented in a table.
Now look at the text that you will want to place an emphasis on. But rather than using the  or  tags, which really do not provide any meaning, you'll use  to emphasis specific items and  for the items you want to strongly emphasize.

MADISON - The Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a petition under the state's sexual predator law against an Eau Claire County man. Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said the petition was filed on May 11, 2007, in Eau Claire County Circuit Court, and alleged that Jeffrey Bonnin (DOB February 23, 1972) is a sexually violent person and should be committed for treatment. A finding of probable cause was found on May 21, 2007, at a hearing before Judge Paul J. Lenz.
Chapter 980 of the Wisconsin Statutes relates to the control, care and treatment of sexually violent persons. Under Wisconsin law, a person may be subject to a civil commitment when the person has been convicted of a sexually violent offense, has a mental disorder, and is dangerous to others because the mental disorder makes it likely he or she will commit further acts of sexual violence. A civil commitment is defined in Wisconsin law as commitment to the custody and care of the Department of Health and Family Services (DHFS) for control, care, and treatment until the person is no longer considered sexually violent.
According to the DOJ petition, Jeffrey Bonnin was convicted of Second Degree Sexual Assault of a Child in Eau Claire County in 1995 and was sentenced to ten years in the Wisconsin State Prison System. Bonnin was scheduled for release from the Columbia Correctional Institution on May 15, 2007, but will be detained at a DHFS facility awaiting trial.
The state's petition alleges that Jeffrey Bonnin suffers from mental conditions that predispose him to engage in acts of sexual violence. The petition also alleges that Bonnin is dangerous as his mental disorders make it likely that he will engage in future acts of sexual violence. A petition is only an allegation, and Jeffrey Bonnin is legally presumed not to be a sexually violent person unless and until proven to be a sexually violent person.
Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Gabrysiak will represent the state in this case.

(AP) LONDON - Centrica PLC, the owner of British Gas, is pulling out of plans to build four new nuclear power reactors in Britain, citing uncertainty over the overall cost of the project.
Centrica said in a statement Monday that pre-development costs were approaching a cap of 1 billion pounds, ($1.6 billion) and that a detailed assessment convinced the company not to proceed with the project.
The move comes four years after Centrica struck a 2.3 billion pound deal with Electricite de France SA (EDF) to take a stake in EDF's nuclear business in Britain.
Centrica said its 20 percent interest in the eight existing nuclear power stations in Britain is unaffected by Monday's decision.

Baguio dad welcomes Benguet dare-A A +A
Monday, January 27, 2014
CHALLENGE accepted.
With Benguet governor Nestor Fongwan constantly egging his delegates to steal over-all title from perennial champion Baguio, City Mayor Mauricio Domogan said he welcomes the challenge coming from the host province in their bid for regional sports supremacy.
"That is a good challenge for every athletes here in the city. We know for a fact that Baguio is always the champion that's why Fongwan wants to win the title this year. That's part of the competition," Domogan said during his weekly Ugnayang Panlungsod program.
For the past years, the Summer Capital continues to reign supreme in the regional sports meet with little opposition from rival provinces.
During the 2013 staging in Apayao, Baguio ran away with the over-all crown once again by amassing 872 points while its closest pursuer, Benguet has only 434.60 with Apayao coming in at surprise 3rd with 419 points.
With the over-all crown being eyed by the host province this time, Fongwan earlier said he has asked all athletes and coaches to start their training after the provincial meet in December.
The province has also allotted P5 million for its athletes just to make sure the over-all title won't slip this time.
"All athletes coming from the other towns of the province take temporary residence here in La Trinidad para mag-train dito na mismo sa lugar kung saan idaraos ang CARAA," said Fongwan in an earlier interview.
Baguio City's elementary is expected to lord once again in arnis, athletics, badminton boys, gymnastics, softball, swimming, tae kwon do and volleyball girls.
The high schoolers are seen to retain their crown in archery, arnis, athletics, badminton, boxing, chess boys, gymnastics, sepak takraw, swimming, table tennis boys, tae kwon do, and tennis.
Benguet on the other hand will be strong in football, gymnastics, for the elementary level while the high school division is seen to retain the title in chess girls, and volleyball boys.

ELIZABETHTON — An 18-year-old man and three juveniles were charged following an investigation by the Elizabethton Police Department into a July 15 burglary at 309 Johnson Ave.
Connor Harrison Hall, 18, 609 Birch St., was arrested Monday on charges of aggravated burglary, theft over $500 and vandalism. Each of the three juveniles are charged with aggravated burglary, burglary, theft over $500, theft under $500 and vandalism.
Investigator David Peters said there were two burglaries to the Johnson Avenue residence. He said the three juveniles first entered the garage and took items. He said they left, only to return an hour later with Hall to make entry into the house and take more items.
Hall will answer the charges against him on Oct. 18 in Sessions Court. The three juveniles will be summonsed into Juvenile Court.

Last year, guitarist and singer Nick Hexum took his first real break from 311 in 25 years by forming The Nick Hexum Quintet. The group released a well-received album titled My Shadow Pages that mixed even more musical styles together than his genre-blurring day-job band usually does.
"I needed to take a detour for a while, and the Quintet was the perfect move for me," Hexum explains. "We did a lot of light, funky stuff, and then I was able to get back into some heaviness with 311. It's good to keep another avenue open. If I'm working on something and 311 isn't feeling it, I'll have that other outlet. It just means more music for the fans."Read more about

Complete Release in PDF Format
After three straight home meets, Georgia (5-1, 1-0 SEC) will take to the road when it travels to Kentucky (2-2, 0-2 SEC) for a 7 p.m. meet on Friday. For the Gym Dogs, it is their first meet away from Stegeman Coliseum since the season-opening quad meet win at Denver on Jan. 8. Georgia is coming off two impressive performances, scoring a 196.725 in a win over West Virginia on Jan. 17 and a 196.650 against Auburn on Jan. 21. Kentucky is coming off a loss to Arkansas last week.
Georgia is the only team in the country ranked in the top five in vault, bars, beam and floor with an average of 49.000 or higher on all four events...Georgia's 49.45 on bars vs. West Virginia is tied with Florida for the highest bars score so far this season. It was also the highest bars score by the Gym Dogs since a 49.5 in the 2009 SEC Championship...The Gym Dogs' 49.425 on floor vs. Auburn is the highest score floor of any team in the country this season...Georgia owns two of the top four overall team scores in the country - a 196.725 vs. West Virginia (third highest) and a 196.650 against Auburn (fourth)...Cassidy McComb already has eight individual titles this season after winning one a year ago.
This is the 67th meeting between Georgia and Kentucky since records kept in 1980. Georgia has won all 66 previous meetings. Last season, the Gym Dogs beat Kentucky in Athens, 197.200-195.550. On Georgia's last visit to Lexington in 2009, the Gym Dogs won a tri-meet with UK and Centenary with a 196.970.
Freshman Lindsey Cheek competed in the all-around for the first time in her career and tied the highest score in the country to date, logging a 39.550 through four events to help No. 5 Georgia to a 196.650-194.975 win over SEC rival Auburn last Friday in Stegeman Coliseum. It was the second straight score of 196 or above for Georgia, which now owns the Nos. 3 and 4 scores in the country in 2011. Cheek became the fourth gymnast in the country to score a 39.550 on the all-around this season. She posted career-highs on all four routines include 9.9s or above on vault and bars, and claimed three event titles in addition to all-around. The Gym Dogs saw seven 9.9s on the night.
Ninth-ranked Georgia put up season-high scores in three events in addition to its highest overall score of the season en route to a 197.200-195.550 win over No. 11 Kentucky in front of 9,864 at Stegeman Coliseum.
Georgia was the best it had been all season to that point on bars (49.450), beam (49.400), and floor (49.400) as the Gym Dogs move to 2-3 (1-2 SEC). Kentucky drops to 3-4 (1-3) on the year. The Gym Dogs edged the Wildcats on all events except for vault. The Gym Dogs' 197.200 was good for the second-highest score in the nation at that point behind only Alabama's 197.450.
Lindsey Cheek was named the SEC Freshman of the Week on Tuesday for her performance against Auburn last Friday. The Watkinsville, Ga., native scored a 39.550 in the all-around in the win over Auburn last Friday. She tied three other gymnasts for the highest all-around score in the country this season, and her 39.550 is the highest by a freshman this year. Cheek won individual titles on vault with a 9.95, bars with a 9.925 and beam with a 9.85. Her efforts helped the Gym Dogs post a team score of 196.650, the fourth-highest score of any team this season. Cheek, who graduated high school a semester early and joined the Gym Dogs in late December, now has five individual titles and has been Georgia's top performer on vault in all four meets.
Georgia travels to No. 12 Arkansas for its second straight road meet on Feb. 4. The Gym Dogs then face top-ranked Florida at home on Feb. 12.

Mercuri: "Poor engineering" leads to "high-tech disenfranchisement"
Long before the notorious hanging chads focused the country's attention on the 2000 presidential race in Florida, computer security expert Rebecca Mercuri was concerned about the vulnerability of the nation's voting methods.
On Nov. 10, Mercuri, who came to Lehigh as part of the
Computer Science and Engineering Department's Distinguished Seminar Series
, shared her long-standing and well-researched concerns about "E-voting in an Untrustworthy World" with a group of students and professors.
"We don't like to believe that we're living in an untrustworthy world, or that our votes might not be secure, but that's the reality of the situation," Mercuri, a former Harvard Fellow-turned-voting-consultant, said. "It is a fact that every vote does not count, that votes vanish, and that high-tech disenfranchisement exists. I'm not saying it's deliberate, but it is poor engineering."
In the wake of the contentious 2000 election in Florida, Mercuri said that politicians rushed to create and vote into law a "remedy" called the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). That act was designed to update clumsy, out-dated, inefficient and arbitrary counting methods through better design of election machinery. The new equipment would allegedly streamline the process of casting, verifying, counting and recounting votes.
Problems persist
Nearly $3.8 billion in federal funds was made available, prompting election officials to rush out and purchase flawed and already outdated equipment, Mercuri said.
"They were designed to very poor standards," she said. "(Voting machine) vendors were out there telling people they had to have a computerized system, which was not true. Paper balloting and counting, which are far safer, would satisfy the HAVA requirements, too. And most of the election officials were under the impression that this HAVA money had to be spent quickly."
Mercuri noted that the new touchscreen voting machines and other computer-assisted voting methods are not only more likely to break down during periods of heavy use—such as on election days—but are highly vulnerable to hacking or malicious programming.
"All over the country, local governments were rushing out to buy these new black box electronic voting systems without really understanding how they are used, and how they really don't provide what is essential in a disputed election, and that is the ability to conduct a recount," Mercuri said. "We haven't really fixed the problems. If anything, we've gone backwards."
Look no further than the 2004 presidential election, she said.
"Unfortunately, what we had in many states where these voting machines were in place, was no way to know if ballots were cast or counted, and no way to find out if the machines tallied votes in an accurate, unbiased, independent way. We don't even know if such a process was even possible," Mercuri said.
"An objective assessment"
Mercuri became absorbed with the topic in 1989, when she began her research related to electronic voting issues and the sanctity of the vote. Her work involves the formulation of a methodology for striking a balance between anonymity and transparency in computational systems, concepts that are inherently intertwined and even contradictory, especially in security-related applications, but whose relationships are not well understood.
She said that she does her part by continuing to study e-voting issues, providing expert testimony on disputed elections (including Bush v. Gore in 2000), lecturing around the country, and attempting to educate election officials and the general public on the threats such poorly designed and insecure systems pose to the democratic process.
"I proselytize to the good reporters out there who are really interested in this topic," Mercuri said. "As an engineer, I can provide an objective assessment, and pose the important questions, like why are we allowing software to be out there with secret controls?"
At this stage, she noted, only three corporations control most of the voting systems used in the United States and around the world, and these systems are plagued with problems.
"Votes go missing, machines break down," she said. "And in the midst of all this, a few votes here and there could shift."
She cited a Yale study, which showed that a one-vote shift in every precinct in the country could change the Electoral College outcome.
Despite the easy acceptance of flawed systems by election officials around the country and disinterested mainstream media outlets, Mercuri said that a growing number of private citizens are sounding the alarm.
"More and more, I keep running into people who really seem to understand the threats posed by e-voting," she said in an interview earlier in the day. "It would help if the media shared that."
If anything, news outlets exacerbate the problem by demanding election results quickly.
"They want the results for the 11 p.m. newscast," Mercuri said. "They want them now, and they don't want to wait it out. They do not care if the results are wrong, as long as they're quick."
Introducing Mercuri was
Henry Baird
, professor of computer science and engineering, who shares her concern for national voting methods.
"She has a passion for protecting democracy," said Baird, who met Mercuri while they were both young scientists at Sarnoff Laboratories in Princeton nearly 25 years ago. "She was first drawn to this subject matter out of a sense of civic duty when she learned that Bucks County was contemplating the purchase of a flawed voting system. Since then, through years of study, she has established herself as one of the nation's foremost authorities on this topic."
