You can't have failed to miss the offer we've been running for students and staff who have an email address that ends in .ac.uk – Office Ultimate 2007 for £38.95 – on www.theultimatesteal.co.uk
But you may have missed the looming deadline – it closes on Wednesday night next week – so there are just five days to go
We've seen a rush of people mentioning it on blogs and forums suddenly, because it appears many students still haven't heard of the offer. And we've also seen a burst of traffic from universities which have just announced the offer for the first time to their students. Is this something that you want to tell your students and staff about?
If you do want to tell your students & staff , then this post gives you some words & images.
Of the universities that have promoted it to their students (including Bristol – Kent – Stirling – Queens University Belfast Salford – QMU Edinburgh – Bradford – Middlesex – Loughborough) my favourite two are:

Transportation To, From and Around Cabarete
There are several forms of transportation you can take to, from and around Cabarete, and choosing the best one depends on your budget and the amount of time you have to get to your destination. The following is a list of those options, where they travel, and an idea of their costs.
Taxis are definitely one of the most comfortable ways to travel in this country. They tend to be spacious and comfortable, air-conditioned vans. The drivers seem to be more conscious of safety than the drivers of the other forms of transportation. Although few speak a lot of English, they can still provide recommendations and are good travel guides to many of the surrounding areas. Rates for most destinations are posted at the taxi stands. In the tourist areas of the north coast, rates are in US$ but you can pay in DR$ at the day's exchange rate. Here is a list of the most common fares.
Taxi Fares:
Public Transportation
There are four types of public transportation - Guaguas, Caro Publicos, Motoconchos and Buses. They are all quite reasonably priced and choosing the right one depends on your specific transportation needs speed, comfort, length of travel time and destination.
Public transportation within, and between towns and villages, is for the most part conducted in privately owned mini-vans, called Guaguas. Theyre easy to recognize because theyll push their horn as they approach, and the drivers assistant, the Cobrador (fare collector), is likely to be hanging out of the side door waving you in. This form of transport is quite cheap but the vehicles tend to be in poor condition - broken windows, doors that dont close properly, etc. These mini-vans normally hold 12 passengers but occasionally they will carry up to 20 people, a chicken or two, and who knows what else! They stop anywhere and everywhere along the main road to drop off passengers and pick more up. Taking this kind of journey is always an adventure. They tend to try to cheat tourists on the fare so make sure you confirm the rate before you get in.
The fare anywhere on the main road from Cabarete to Sosua is RD$20, and to Puerto Plata is RD$40 to 50. Try to have the correct amount of Pesos as they (cobradores) are unlikely to have change.
These are multi-passenger public cars that tend to have signs on the car roof indicating their route (for example, Puerto Plata). They will honk as they approach you and you can let them know youd like transport by waving them over. They will fill their cars over capacity for example, 4 in the front and 4 in the back, and they charge per person. If you desire to ride more comfortably, you can pay for two persons fare and try to get a seat to yourself. Caro Publicos have fixed routes so you check that your destination is on their route before getting in.
Anywhere on the main road from Cabarete to Sosua is RD$25-30 (RD$30-50 after sunset). If you are going on to Puerto Plata, you'll have to change corro publicos in Sosua. From Sosua to Puerto Plata it is another RD$35-50. Try to have the correct amount of Pesos as they are unlikely to have change.
A unique form of transport in the Dominican Republic is the Motoconcho. These are rides on the back of privately owned motor bikes. Youll have no problem recognizing them because theyre likely to recognize you first. If youre on the side of the road, theyll hold up their hand and beep their horn as they approach you to give you a ride. These are quite popular for short trips, especially within Cabarete. They will also go long distances but riding on a motor bike can be dangerous and nobody wears helmets here.
Anywhere on the main road within Cabarete is RD$25 (double after sunset). Try to have the correct amount of Pesos as they are unlikely to have change. Prices for public transport Guaguas, Caro Publicos and particularly Motoconchos, usually double at sunset (starting between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m.).
There are 2 major bus companies in the country and they both drive air-conditioned and comfortable 52-seat buses. Their rates are quite reasonable as well. Recently, both had extended their route all the way to Cabarete but these have been suspended because of the taxi and public transportation unions. So, you will have to take a taxi or public transport from their final destination terminal.

Peas, Proscuitto and Cream / David Poleski/Contributor
Ok, Ill admit it. I am a little spoiled: I have three ovens and nine burners.
But even I run out of room when making the big Thanksgiving feast. Thats why we must be smart and use all the weapons in our arsenal when preparing for Turkey Day. Dont overlook your ever-faithful, often-used microwave or your rarely-used slow cooker when planning your menu. I know, I know: What white tablecloth-worthy dishes can come out of either one?
Well, dont despair. Here are a few to get you started. The peas, proscuitto and cream recipe is a surprisingly good recipe, and cider brussels sprouts with apples and onions is equally as good with roast pork as your Thanksgiving turkey. Both use the microwave, believe it or not, and the braised balsamic onions are a fix and forget it slow-cooker recipe that everyone will remember.
Free up some stovetop or oven space with these quick and easy sides.
Peas, Proscuitto and Cream
Serves 6 8.
■ 2 boxes of frozen peas
■ 2 cups heavy cream
■ 1 teaspoon cornstarch
■ ¼ cup minced onion
■ ¼ pound thinly sliced procuitto ham, julienned
Rinse peas under warm water to get rid of ice crystals. Dissolve the cornstarch in the cold cream. Put onions and cream in a 2-quart casserole. Microwave for 5 6 minutes on high until cream gets bubbly. Stir in peas and continue to microwave 4 5 minutes more, stirring once. Stir in prosciutto. Season with salt and white pepper if needed. Serve immediately or hold and rewarm.
Cider Brussels Sprouts with Apple, Onion and Thyme
Serves 6 8.
■ 1 pound of brussels sprouts, cut in half through core
■ 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
■ ½ cup apple cider
■ 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
■ 1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon cold water
■ 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
Mix brussels sprouts, onions and apple cider in a 2½-quart casserole. Cover and microwave on high for 7 8 minutes. Add apples. Cover and microwave on high for an additional 5 minutes. In a 2-cup measuring cup, pour off juices from brussels sprouts and apples mixture (about ½ cup). Add the dissolved cornstarch and mix until incorporated. Microwave cornstarch mixture 2 minutes until thickened, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir in fresh thyme and pour over brussels sprouts and mix.
Balsamic Braised Cipolline Onions
Serves 6 8.
■ 2 pounds cipolline onions, or 3 of the net bags you find in a grocery store
■ 2 tablespoons butter
■ ¼ cup red wine
■ ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
■ 1 teaspoon sugar
■ Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Peel onions with small paring knife or, for a quick method; make a small X in the stem end of each onion and drop into pot of boiling water for a few minutes. Remove and run under cold water. Trim off a bit of the root end and the skin will slip off. (You can do this ahead of time, if desired.) Put onions, butter, red wine, balsamic vinegar and sugar in a slow cooker. Add ¼ teaspoon salt, a dash of pepper and 1 cup water. Cook on low for 20 minutes uncovered, stirring often so onions are all coated. Cover and cook for 2 hours on low heat setting. Uncover, turn to high heat setting and cook for another hour or until liquid is reduced and onions are glazed.

It sounds ok but it's clearly not what he's playing on the track

While parsing a pdf file, my parser encounter a Tf operator with the value of the SubType entry in the font dictionary set to TrueType. The Encoding entry is not present, the symblic flag is set.
My question is : how do I suppose to map the character codes to characters with no encoding ?
The PDF reference section 5.5.5 Character Encoding states that TrueType font has internal data represented in tables in the font files. It seems that those tables would help me map the character codes. Am I getting it right ? How can I extract those information from the font file ?
The font file extracted from the PDF gave something like :
I read Apple's documentation The True Type Font File but still don't get how can I extract those informations from those tables.
Any help, links or reading suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

In the December 14, 2010, issue of the Daily Herald in Provo, a State Senator from Utah County made some insinuating comments that have certainly created a stir. The remarks were demeaning towards local boards of education across the state and the individuals who serve in that capacity. May I share with readers of The Morgan County News some facts about the Morgan County Board of Education?
All five board members are productive and respected members of our community. All five members are caring and loving parents. All five members hold college degrees. Dr. Earl Ericksen and Neil Carrigan are retired educators: Dr. Ericksen ended his career as the chairman of the Weber State University Music Department, while Neil retired after teaching mathematics for four decades. Two are highly successful businessmen: Joey Skinner owns his own software business and Bruce Galbraith retired after a very successful career in the medical supply industry. Ken Durrant has served in the field of public education and industry. He was a well respected educator in Wasatch and Morgan counties. He left education to work in industry and recently retired from Holcim, Inc.
For the past four months, the Morgan Board of Education has been actively involved in creating a new mission statement and belief statements for the district. The Board's input and direction were vital in aligning these documents with the vision of the State Board of Education and the Governor's Office.
These men have spent countless hours working side-by-side with the district office personnel in the selection of an architectural firm and a construction manager/general contractor for forthcoming building projects. They have been instrumental in the successful purchase of property for a new transportation facility. Their priorities have always been directed toward the children of the Morgan School District and future generations as planning on these projects have progressed.
The board members have requested and received weekly updates from the superintendent regarding the business and happenings of the district. They respond with their concerns and ideas. Open and active lines of communication exist between the district office and the board members.
Recently, the Board completed the process of selecting a new superintendent. The process was thorough and exhaustive. Candidates were screened by the Board and select members of the community who represented all voting districts. Finalist were again screened and interviewed by the same panel of members.
Members of the Morgan Board of Education are active participants in the educational process. They understand their role and responsibilities. They also understand the role and responsibilities of the superintendent. Those who elected them chose each one because of their expertise, strong desire to serve the community, and sharp minds to deal with the difficult decisions to be made during these critical economic times. Together they work to assure the mission and beliefs of the school system are carried forward in a professional and responsible manner.
It is an honor and privilege to serve with these outstanding members of our community. They work tirelessly on behalf of the community. Their integrity, honesty, and forthrightness combine to assure a quality educational environment for the young students of this valley. They, like dozens of other local boards of education across the state, reflect the highest ideals of representative democracy and grassroutes management of government.

When I'm feeling especially bad and have no motivation to do right by me, I find a way to do right by someone else. Right now, I know that there is a huge need for help in the Pakistani flood relief efforts (no I'm not Pakistani by the way), by helping them, I feel better about myself, and suddenly, I have the motivation to do the things that are good for me.
If you feel like eating a "treat" (or buying one)... save on money and calories by treating yourself in other ways... Set your hair, rub lotion on, do your nails, give yourself a pedi, give yourself a facial, go sit in the sun for a few minutes, run a bubble bath... whatever makes you feel good or feel pretty... have at it.By the time you are done, you won't even want that pint of ice cream or new pair of shoes :)
When you consider yourself valuable you will take care of yourself in all ways that are necessary. ~ M. Scott Peck
I have to take shots daily and know if I want to live do it.I have ways to make it easier.

Prediction: Broncos chase bowl eligibility
D. Burgardt
Talk about it in The Main Board
PredictionThe one thing I know about Tronic Williams is he's a bright young man, a quick study, a competitor (wrestler as well as football), and he's shown up when given the chance. Expect Williams and Toler to have a surprisingly good day. The WMU backside may be young, but they don't lack talent. I expect Kent to try and go after Williams and Pettway, but if the pass rush is sufficient the young DB's will hold their own. On the offensive side of the ball, the Broncos have been improving their run game, and in spite of a stacked line by the Kent D, Carder and Fields will keep Kent honest with enough of a ground game to keep them guessing. The difference in this game will come down to Carder and Crew. If Kent is going to stick an extra man in the box, they're going to get burned on the back end by the Bronco receivers. In a high scoring affair, the Broncos set themselves up for a one and done game at Bowling Green. WMU goes out early and fights off a late comeback by Kent. WMU 45 Kent State 38

"Irreversible," the most controversial movie at last year's Cannes Film Festival, is a savage, unrelenting nightmare of sex and violence. It's shot in a peculiar, dynamic style that may transfix, bewilder, excite and even nauseate you. Made at white heat by one of France's most daring new cineastes, Gaspar Noe ("I Stand Alone"), it's a film that takes real chances and goes in new directions. You won't see anything remotely like it this year.
That doesn't mean it's a success. Noe shoots the film in 12 long, apparently one-take sequences, improvised by the actors, arranged in reverse chronological order. After a prison prelude, the film begins (or ends) with a horrific murder in a gay nightclub and then proceeds backwards: the tracking down of bisexual pimp Le Tenia (Jo Prestia) by two nearly hysterical friends, Marcus (Vincent Cassel) and Pierre (Albert Dupontel); and the precipitating incident, with Le Tenia brutally raping and beating Marcus' girlfriend, Alex (Monica Bellucci of "Malena") after she leaves Marcus and Pierre at a party. Then, the movie moves even further back, ending on a note of bliss. Noe's strategy: pin the characters into fate while allowing the actors maximum "freedom," and travel backward from chaos to bliss.
The problem with "Irreversible" is not its garish subject or even its weird structure and psychotic-looking visual style. (Noe, operating the camera himself, sometimes jerks it around at will, as if he were as out of control as his characters.) What's wrong is the decision to let all the actors improvise their lines. Some thrive on the freedom - like Bellucci and Philippe Nahon, the latter staunchly reprising his "I Stand Alone" role of the butcher. But many of them just scream the same profanity-laced phrases over and over, destroying the very illusion of reality Noe labors to create. At the end, "Irreversible" looks less like captured or even distorted life than an acting class.
Visually, "Irreversible" works smashingly well. The hard, lurid images catch you in a vise. But dramatically, with few exceptions, it's a mess. Even the lyrical lovemaking sequence with real-life couple Bellucci and Cassel is sabotaged when the camera gives us enough full frontal to show Cassel unaroused. That reaction won't apply to audiences of "Irreversible." For better or worse, this is a movie that batters you, shakes you up and makes you react.

Teaching Information Skills in the Information Age: An Examination of Trends in the Middle Grades
Asselin, Marlene, School Libraries Worldwide
This study examined the extent of information literacy instruction in grades 6 and 7 and the degree to which a variety of supportive factors are in place in classrooms and school library programs in one western Canadian province. Based on responses to questionnaires from teachers and teacher-librarians, four trends emerged: (a) the existence of broad-level support in schools including a constructivist teaching and learning environment, principals' support of information literacy, and teachers' knowledge of information literacy; (b) the need for school- and district-level frameworks of information literacy; (c) the need for increased attention to teaching ethical and critical thinking aspects of information literacy; and (d) challenges to increasing the potential role of the school library program. Implications for teacher-librarians as school leaders of the "new literacies" required to participate in the Information Age are presented.
In Canada, as in most countries, educational policy identifies the goals of schooling in the Information Age as those of the development of lifelong learners, a learning society, and a knowledge-based economy (Council of Ministers of Education, Canada, 1999). Literacy researchers argue that to attain these outcomes "it becomes essential to prepare students for ... the literacies [of the Internet and ICT] because they are central to the use of information and the acquisition of knowledge" (Leu, Kinzer, Coiro, & Cammack, 2004, p. 1571). These "new literacies" that are tied to the Internet and information and communication technologies (ICT) are a rapidly growing focus of research in the literacy literature and overlap with what the library community calls information literacy. Although the library and literacy fields are largely unfamiliar with each other's work, they share a common focus in the literacies of the Information Age (Asselin & Dreher, 2005). Research in this area is increasing since Reinking, McKenna, Labbo, and Kiefer (1998) noted, "Although studies of (new literacies) are gradually beginning to emerge in research journals of literacy, the paucity of hard data in this area remains all too obvious." What is needed now is knowledge about if and how information literacy is being taught to students. This study examines the extent of information literacy instruction in grades 6 and 7 (ages 11-12) and the degree to which supportive factors of this instruction are in place in classrooms and library programs in one western Canadian province.
Toward Mainstream ing Information Literacy: Situating Information Literacy in New Literacies, the Internet, and ICT Over the past two decades, there has been considerable debate about the nature of literacy. In contrast to those who see literacy as a single general ability to read and write, a growing number of literacy researchers have begun to examine the many ways of reading and writing in cultures and groups (e.g., youth, boys/girls) other than those of white, western, middle-class, and in contexts other than those of school (the workplace, homes, communities). Researchers are also recognizing the multiple forms and modes of literacy beyond those bound by the printed page. In other words, literacy is now viewed as the ability to gain and represent meaning from a variety of symbol systems (e.g., drawing, speaking, photography, video, hypertext). Together, these perspectives form the foundation of the "New and Multi-Literacy Studies" (Barton, 1994; Gee, 1996; New London Group, 1996; Street, 1995).
Thus literacy is now conceived as both more expansive and more complex than ever before. It is being reconceptualized to encompass the multiple forms of literacy that students will need to develop in order to participate fully in the 21st century. These new literacies are changing in ever more rapid ways. For the current generation of students, consider how literacies have expanded since they began school. …

Russell Crowe denies Dita romance
Published 16/01/2013 | 11:26
Russell Crowe has denied that he is dating Dita Von Teese.
The Les Miserables star - who separated from his wife Danielle Spencer in October - was rumoured to have got close to the burlesque beauty and last week it was reported that they had even enjoyed a couple's massage at a hotel in New York.
But the 48-year-old actor has now taken to Twitter to end speculation about a romance, saying the pair are just friends.
He tweeted: "@DitaVonTeese is brave, smart, sweet and elegant. She is a friend of mine. Who wouldn't want friends like that? Friends, not lovers."
Russell, who has two sons from his nine-year marriage with Aussie singer Danielle, first drew attention to his friendship with Dita when he re-tweeted one of her messages.
It read: "Dressage. Was measured for bespoke blk patent boots w/my name stamped on the heel... But under whose bed did I leave my Hermes riding crop?"
Dita, 40, was married to shock rocker Marilyn Manson from 2005 to 2007.

Young British duo Sam Goodchild and Ned Collier Wakefield are expected in Le Havre for the Transat Jacques Vabre this Tuesday following a tough battle to have their new, recently launched Jason Ker designed Class 40 fully optimised in time for the start of the race.
Strong wing in the Transat Jacques Vabre village in the Vatine Marina in Le Havre (North France) on October 28, 2013
They may have been pressed for time, but have left absolutely nothing to chance. After being cruelly forced to retire from the last Transat Jacques Vabre just after they had taken the Class 40 lead, overhauling Aquarelle.com, and battling through the last big storm of the race, they discovered some delamination in the front sections of their boat and had to abandon and head to the Azores. But they report that they are in good shape, ready to make the short hop from Hamble to Le Havre.
'We are waiting for the wind to die to get going, we still have 40kts but it is dropping fairly quickly and we should get going fairly soon. We have been watching the weather very closely', Co-skipper Ned Collier Wakefield reported this morning.
To make sure nothing untoward happened on their final night in their home marina at Hamble Yacht Services before leaving for Le Havre, Collier-Wakefield decided to sleep on their boat through the storm force winds.
'I got a little sleep. I was more worried something would come crashing into us during the night. Actually I probably got better sleep than I would at sea! Otherwise we are getting there and will be ready to go shortly.'
'Race Direction have been very understanding. To be honest we just ran out of time. We had to get new spreaders made in Cape Town at the last minute. There has been some work to do with the rig and rudders. Andy Meiklejohn has been great in helping us set up the rig. We have had a few problems with the kick up rudders but have a good solution now. They have had a good test now and we are confident.'
Concise 8 has had ten days of trialling at sea including a tough sail down to Ushant and back from Hamble.
'We are incredibly impressed with the boat. We brought her back upwind in big seas and did some proper slamming. The performance is especially good reaching, I am sure we have one of the quickest boats when the wind is between 95-130 degrees especially. And we have had some great sailing under the big kites.'
The new Concise has a much more inboard chainplate position, which allows them to set big upwind Code Zero sails, especially potent for pushing through light wind transition zones, like in the Doldrums.
'The boat has the Transat Jacques Vabre and Route du Rhum as two key events. We looked at a lot of historical weather data for the races and developed a potent hull form. The rig is a little heavier for this set up, but we did a lot of work with the sail and rig development, with Chris Williams and Scott Ferguson and so it feels like we have a proper closed loop, grand prix set up.'
Collier-Wakefield is confident he knows their new boat better than any of his rivals, having been in the yard in China throughout the build.

'Yes we have not had the time we might have wanted on the water but we have had great guys involved all the way through.'
And while the young English duo are on the ascent as professional sailors, looking to make their mark at the front of the fleet, so Class 40 of the Transat Jacques Vabre is also where many of the most committed and talented amateur sailors will compete, living their dreams. Some of them have limited expectations of winning, looking to get to Brazil safely and to sail to the best of their ability. Budgets and racing experience may be correspondingly less than their professional rivals but these amateurs are no less enthusiastic.
There are osteopaths, project managers, emergency doctor, company directors but now they are taking time out from their wage paying careers to take on the adventure of the Transat Jacques Vabre.
'It is really not easy to find time to prepare. I delivered the boat from Marie Galante with a friend who could barely sail. Let's say it was a real baptism of fire!' recalls Dominique Rivard (Marie Galante ). Australians Michelle Zwagerman and Pat Conway on the Class 40 are also living their dream.
'It started last year in April. We bought the boat and have done it all ourselves. For us, it is a huge challenge.'
Christoph Petter (co-skipper on Vaquita), is an Austrian entrepreneur who set sail on his adventures five years ago and enjoys offshore races, but the Transat Jacques Vabre will be his first big one.
'We feel both excitement and fear', says Michelle Zwagerman. 'We'll have to control our anxiety during gales, but most of the time, it will be fantastic. Dolphins, the moon, the stars, I am looking forwards to some great moments.'
And even making it to the start of Transat Jacques Vabre requires great perseverance and tenacity.
Doctor Damien Rousseau skipper of the Class 40 Mr Bricolage engaged in the Transat jacques Vabre in Le Havre (North France) on October 28, 2013
Damien Rousseau explains: 'I started without money but wanted to realise a childhood dream. I took the big chance and plunged into debt. I thought it was no worse than buying a nice car but I finally also found myself a sponsor who has helped me do it a bit more comfortably.'
Rousseau has been able to race in various events in preparation including a good ninth place in Les Sables-Horta-Les Sables. But, in contrast, without a sponsor Dominique Rivard has had to draw on his own money: 'I took a bank loan to buy a boat at EUR 250,000. Everything is very expensive, I have put another EUR 80,000 euros in the pot since, and I have worked 70 hours a week.'
All of these sailors are on a break from their daily lives and careers: some see it as big step towards new adventures, others a unique one off experience, like Pat Conway: 'Our boat is already for sale and once we have completed the Transat Jacques Vabre we return a normal life in Australia.'
Closed since 2000hrs Sunday night due to the storm force winds the village of the Transat Jacques Vabre will reopen tomorrow (Tuesday) morning at 1000hrs.
All of the technical teams have remained on high alert around the village of the Transat Jacques Vabre. Buses and lorries were parked along the perimeter to protect the tents around Paul Vatine dock.

Science Fiction is becoming more closely related to reality, not because it attempts to predict the future and those prediction are coming true (which never really was the main goal), but because there exists a demonstrable condition of mathematical patterns and trends in industrial technology and biotechnology that are more quickly delivering what we can hypothesize and speculate upon. It is outpacing it even now.
It is likely in my opinion that within 10 years, science fiction and science--both pure research and technological development--will often intersect in a real-time level, and the resulting moral, social and cultural questions are ripe for exploration, whether positive or negative. Any writer that doesn't acknowledge it is living an outmoded past.
The best writers have already stated this, and suggest SF is struggling to keep up. Change is so common now even seemed previously amazing is ordinary to many...planet at Alpha Centauri, been there, done that...untethered hiking robots, same....downloading/uploading our brains, child's play.....drones over enemy territory using rudimentary AI for target choices, bought the movie...handheld computers with more power than a moon mission, don't make us laugh!

X-mini series of portable speakers may not have changed much in appearance over the years (with a few exceptions), but the company behind them has now finally made one significant upgrade: it's produced a Bluetooth model. As with the other speakers, the new X-mini KAI is a pocket-sized device, and it can be daisy chained with additional speakers for some bigger sound (a standard 3.5mm jack is also included for your non-Bluetooth devices). No word on a North American release just yet, but you can look for it to hit parts of Asia in December for around $100, and CNET has hands-on at the source link below.

I followed along this tutorial for django's RSS and ATOM feeds and I got it to work.
However the test development server keeps making the browser download the feeds as a file instead of the browser detecting it as an xml document.
My experience with HTTP tells me that there is a missing mime type in the Content-Type header.
How do I specify that in django?

The combination of high temperatures, low humidity, and warm breezes create a recipe for the increased risk of Brush and Forest Fires. Wildfires often begin unnoticed, but spread quickly, igniting brush, trees and homes. There are three different classes of wild fires. A 'surface fire' is the most common type, burning along the forest floor, moving slowly and killing or damaging trees. A 'ground fire', usually started by lightning, burns on or below the forest floor. 'Crown fires' spread rapidly by the wind, moving quickly by jumping along the treetops. Because 80% of forest fires are started by negligent human behavior, such as smoking in forested areas or improperly extinguishing campfires most are preventable.
Tips for Campers
Tips for Property Owners before a Wildfire occurs
Tips for Property Owners when a Wildfire threatens
The Public is urged to obey all burning regulations set in place by Public Safety Officials.
Tips for Campers
- Use extreme caution with disposal of smoking materials, cooking coals, and campfires.
- Maintain at least a 3' clear area free from leaves, dry grass, pine needles, etc. around grills, fireplaces and tents.
- Handle flammable liquids with care, storing them only in metal containers, using them only for their intended use.
- Fill lanterns and stoves a safe distance downwind from sources of heat or open flames.
- Make sure that barbeque stands/portable stoves are level and sturdy.
- Keep a water container nearby when coals/campfires are burning.
- When cooking is over, soak the coals/fires to prevent re-ignition.
- Pitch your tent at least 15' upwind from grills and fireplaces.
- Only use battery-operated lights in or near tents or campers.
Tips for Property Owners before a Wildfire occurs
- Keep lawns trimmed, leaves raked.
- Roof and rain gutters should be debris-free to prevent burning embers from a wildfire igniting your home.
- Compost or chip vegetative debris piles.
- Stack firewood at least 30' away from structures.
- Store flammable materials, liquids and solvents in metal containers outside the home, at least 30' away from structures and wooden fences.
- Make sure water sources, such as hydrants, ponds, swimming pools and wells are accessible for fire suppression.
- Check the spark arresters on your combustible engines in equipment, such as lawn mowers, ATVs, dirt bikes and chainsaws.
- Use fire resistant, protective roofing and materials like stone, brick and metal to protect your home.
- Install multi-pane windows, tempered safety glass or fireproof shutters to protect large windows from radiant heat.
- Have chimneys, wood stoves and all home heating systems inspected and cleaned annually by a certified specialist.
- Remove branches hanging above and around chimneys.
- Create at least a 10' clearing around an incinerator before burning debris.
- Have a fire extinguisher or garden hose on hand when burning debris.
Tips for Property Owners when a Wildfire threatens
- Shut off gas at the meter and turn off pilot lights.
- Open fireplace damper, closing the fireplace screen.
- Close windows, vents, doors, blinds, or non-combustible window coverings and heavy drapes, removing flammable drapes and curtains.
- Move flammable furniture into the center of the home, away from windows and sliding-glass doors.
- Close all interior doors and windows to prevent drafts.
- Place valuables that will not be damaged by water into a pool or pond.
- Gather your pets into one room, making plans to care for your pets if you must evacuate. (See Evacuation)
- Back your car into the garage or park it in an open space facing the direction of escape. Shut doors and roll up windows. Leave the keys in the ignition and the car doors unlocked. Close garage windows and doors, but leave them unlocked.
- Disconnect automatic garage door openers.
- Place combustible patio/yard furniture indoors.
- Connect garden hose to outside taps. Place lawn sprinklers on the roof and near aboveground fuel tanks. Wet your roof.
- Wet or remove shrubs within 15' of the house.
- Gather fire-fighting tools such as a rake, axe, handsaw or chainsaw, bucket and shovel.
- If advised to evacuate, do so immediately.

'The Croods' Forced Off China's Screens Two Weeks Earlier Than Scheduled
'The Croods' Forced Off China's Screens Two Weeks Earlier Than Scheduled
HONG KONG - Theater operators in mainland China were ordered to cease scheduling screenings for The Croods on Thursday, in a move largely seen as clearing space for already-released local animation films and a state-backed Chinese blockbuster opening on Saturday.
The DreamWorks Animation hit was originally slated to end its run on June 24, but theater management received a verbally-conveyed directive from the authorities at about 2pm on Thursday to stop screening the film from today onwards, a Guangzhou-based cinema chain manager told The Hollywood Reporter on the condition of anonymity.
PHOTOS: Cut, Censored, Changed: 10 Hollywood Films Tweaked for International Release
In a verbally-conveyed directive resembling the one he received on April 10 about cancelling screenings of Django Unchained -- in which theater management was requested to even stop already-begun screenings -- an official from the country's film regulators told the manager to also refund customers who had bought tickets for advance screenings.
The manager said he was "not surprised" by the sudden request.
"You just have to look at the box office figures and you understand why," he added.
The Croods has been a towering success compared to the lackluster box office returns of the three homegrown animation films released on June 1: while the imported blockbuster has generated ticket sales of $63.7 million (391 million yuan) as of Thursday, the collective gross for local animations Happy Little Submarine 3: Rainbow Treasure, The Adventures of Sinbad 2013 and Kuiba 2 are less than $16.28 million (100 million yuan).
The Croods has proved to be a slow-burning success in China, and was still generating healthy returns in the country despite already being in the seventh week of its run here. On Thursday, the film was still shown on about 3,000 screens, which amounted to roughly 5 percent of the total number of screens in China, according to figures from Chinese media information consultants Entgroup.

More impressive, the film has continuously had a very high average number of viewers-per-show. Entgroup's statistics showed that the film generated an average of 11 customers per screening, a figure not far behind the much more recently-released Star Trek Into Darkness (15) and American Dreams in China (13). In contrast, the Chinese animation films were registering at most "five or six people" per show, the Guangzhou-based cinema manager told THR.
Released in the country on April 20, The Croods was originally slated to end its run on May 21. But the film's swelling popularity – with earnings actually increasing rather than decreasing during the course of the first two weeks of its run, culminating in its third-week takings of $20 million (122.7 million yuan) – led to the film getting a screening extension to June 21.
Chinese social media was abuzz with critical comments directed at China's film regulators after news broke of the enforced termination of The Croods' run in the country, with some speculating that the move as an effort to clear the way for local productions opening during the weekend.
Among the Chinese-language films to be released on Saturday is Switch, a heist thriller starring Hong Kong's Andy Lau, Taiwan's Lin Chi-ling and mainland Chinese actress Zhang Jingzhu. The film now stands in a good position to make a killing at the box office as the country prepares for a three-day holiday break which runs from Monday (June 10) to Wednesday (June 12), with the Guangdong-based cinema manager telling THR that the film could expect to take up at least 30 percent of total screens in the country when it opens.

Inmates recounted how their lives started spiraling downhill in their pre-teens and early teens when talking candidly to eight students in the first Project Reality Check program at the Rutherford County SheriffŌĆÖs Office.
Project Reality Check is a program designed to allow teens who may be disrespectful and their parents a realistic look of the day-to-day life an inmate encounters behind bars, said School Resource Officer Sgt. Bob Weeks. The adults tour the intake and booking process, while the young people experience an up-close and personal look of how life is spent incarcerated. The SRO and Detention divisions sponsor the program.
Sheriff Robert Arnold said he hopes the program will allow students to review their actions.
ŌĆ£We hope Project Reality Check will encourage students to change their behavior and give their parents and teachers more respect,ŌĆØ Sheriff Arnold said.
During the first program last Tuesday, two girls and six boys ages 11 to 16 heard from inmates inside the jail while their parents watched a video concerning some ideas on parenting skills and toured booking.
Three of the four inmates came from stable homes, while the fourth inmate related his mother used illegal drugs. One of the inmates was a promising athlete with offers to continue playing in college, but those dreams evaporated when his girlfriend became pregnant and he was caught selling marijuana three times to support them.
Some of the inmates sought gang life. Two of the four inmates were stabbed in a state prison.
Detention Deputy Keith Buford said inmate Delmiccio Tigg described how friends can impact lives.
ŌĆ£Friends can be like elevators,ŌĆØ Tigg said. ŌĆ£They can take you up or they can take you down.ŌĆØ
Sgt. Weeks said the students viewed the inside of the inmatesŌĆÖ pod to get an idea of what itŌĆÖs like to be in jail.
ŌĆ£The inmates stressed the officers in detention tell them when to get up, when to go to sleep, what to wear, when to eat and when to shower,ŌĆØ Sgt. Weeks said.
Two inmates are assigned to a small cell where they have no privacy, especially when going to the bathroom or brushing teeth.
Parents seemed very pleased with the program, viewing it as a deterrent to their childŌĆÖs unruly behavior, Sgt. Weeks said.
The children who attended the first session are not in legal trouble but show disrespect.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs just become a progressive trail of making bad decisions until it snowballs into bad activities,ŌĆØ Sgt. Weeks said.
Parents who want to enroll their children in the two-hour program may call Sgt. Weeks at (615) 904-3066.
Deputy Buford said the next few classes will be at 9 a.m. March 11, April 8, May 13 and June 3 at the Adult Detention Center.
ŌĆ£Overall, if we can get one out of eight, itŌĆÖs worth it,ŌĆØ Deputy Buford said.

Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington recently went on KESN-FM 103.3 to talk all things baseball. Here are some of the highlights:
On the Yankees:
Ron Washington: "Anytime you can go up there, especially in their home, and beat them that means a lot. They set the standard for what we play for starting in February: championships. They hold most of them. It's a tradition. Sometimes it doesn't matter the personal they have. That ghost will come into that stadium and they usually prevail. When you get a chance to beat them, it definitely feels better."
On Miles Mikolas' performance Monday night:
Ron Washington: "I let him know how well he did being able to focus and pound the strike zone the way he did. All he can do from this point is get better. We want him to leave the mound with a good taste in his mouth. His mechanics were getting a little erratic there and we didn't want it to blow up on him after he did a hell of a job to that point. I told him all of that on the mound and he will be ready for his next start."
On if the team has been more mentally focused since the break:
Ron Washington: "No doubt about it. We can't make excuses for the fact that we haven't been here and things aren't going right. Our expectations never change. We understand that. You have to show you have the heart to fight even through adverse times. We are certainly in adverse times. We have to understand and know who we can move forward with. I think they are starting to come together. We are doing a heck of a lot of work before games, but that's how the roster is constructed. We have to work on fundamentals. We have to do the right things. There are only 27 outs, so we can't give them 29-30. We have to keep it to 27 and see what happens. The four day break was good for them mentally and physically. Right now, our kids just continue to get better."

A fundamental stance taken in human-centered computing is that information processing devices must be thought of in systems terms. At first blush, this seems self-evident. However, the notion has a long history, and not just in systems engineering. In this new age of symbiosis, machines are made for specific humans for use in specific contexts. The unit of analysis for cognitive engineering and computer science is a triple: person, machine and context The triples rule asserts that system development must take this triple as the unit of analysis, which has strong implications, including a mandate that the engineering of complex systems should include detailed cognitive work analysis. It also has implications for the meaning of intelligence, including artificial intelligence.

If they are that quick in sending you a "congrats email" it shouldn't be that long before this game gets fixed

I get an email once a week. I have just got one for 27 caps in dom.
I appreciate your humor and the "Congrats". Because of all the "problems" with this game, makes me think IW didn't do much testing before release. Maybe we should call the game Obama Ghost?

Really interesting…I can see how this theory is actually true in practice but never realised it up until now. Nice article
great insight on Google competition for advertisers.
hi your analysis holds true under the assumption of 10% ctr. but i see your point especially on the reserve price…i had a campaign that was profitable, lasted a week, status shown, rarely shown due to low quality score.
This is very interesting and sounds like a good explanation of what they do.
What would happen in an auction for display advertising if they set a high floor price?
– Google doesn't own the sites
– The second position is equivalent to the second page viewed by each user on that site
– Site owners don't like no ad shown – but do tolerate a PSA (Free Public Service Announcement)
Would the auction show lots of PSAs?
The sites could show ads from another ad network if Google shows many PSAs. Big sites would do this. Small sites won't bother
Great article, Bradd.
I have been reading a few of your posts about Google. Can an organization acquire too much intelligence? It's hard not to be Evil when you know *exactly* what everyone does on your site and when you can follow all your visitors accross the web via Analytics.
They also know how well your ads convert and at the same time they have the ability to artificially raise prices on said ads, all of this while still calling it an auction. The part I like most is GA Ecommerce – companies that willfully share their real-time online revenue information with the sleeping giant.
What's next? Could my Adwords habits have an influence on how well I rank in the organics? After all, if they know everything about my ROI, they certainly know that I will spend more on PPCs if I have to..
How far will Google's Optimizer go to optimize Google's revenues?
Just sitting and watching..
I think you've hit the nail on the head as to why many large advertisers don't trust Google with their conversion data. Sure, "free" features like the Google Conversion Optimizer sound great in principle, but there's probably a good reason it's called the Conversion Optimizer and not the Conversion *Maximizer*.
SEM firms play a very important role in ensuring that no single company has access to the full spectrum of data from Search volume – to which only Google has (and should have) access – to Conversion volume. Unfortunately, too many companies, in my opinion, are willing to give Google access to the henhouse without even a promise in return that Google will use that information to the advertiser's benefit only.
Best regards,

For example, the PMI readings in major areas such as the US, the Eurozone, and even China, have come down quite a lot, with some already in recessionary territory. There are also other indicators such as stubbornly-high unemployment levels, said Goetti.
It also remains to be seen just how much downside risk the equity markets have, he said, adding that he thinks there is some downside left, with the ultimate bottom potentially still 10% to 15% away.
A worrying picture
When looking at the type of recessionary environment the market is in, Goetti said it resembles that of the 1930s, with excessive levels of debt, which are not sustainable in the long run, and deleveraging.
In such an environment, there tend to be regular economic downturns – probably every two to three years, he explained.
Investors, and more importantly policymakers, need to understand this because the traditional monetary and fiscal measures don't seem to work, he said.
Market dangers
According to Goetti, the current debt levels present the greatest danger in the markets, combined with how policymakers are dealing with them.
The problem, he said, is that everything has now been tried – and every time there is quantitative easing, there seem to be diminishing returns. For example, he explained, QE1 led to a stock market rally of close to 100%, QE2 created a rally of about 16%, and QE3 might bring even less.
At the same time, he added, the scope for fiscal policy to provide a solution to the global economy is getting less and less. And as the market starts to realise that policymakers are running out of bullets, they act accordingly.
Emerging markets as the answer
Goetti said a problem with emerging markets is that they are tied to the global economy. While some of them, like China or India, for example, have huge domestic markets, emerging markets in general will start to realise they cannot export their way to growth because of the deterioration in the external environment.
If some emerging markets focus more on the domestic economy, however, this will probably boost Asian currencies.
Changing approaches to asset allocation
When it comes to core-satellite portfolios, Goetti said European clients are more willing to give wealth managers a discretionary mandate, whereas in Asia, clients tend to be more hands-on and prefer to award advisory mandates.
Yet this more frequent client contact during periods of market turbulence can be a positive thing for the relationship, he said, as advisers can explain to them what action is being taken and why.
