An academy in London appears to have banned students from using slang words in an attempt to crack down on the use of urban language.
Many have taken to social media sites in outrage at the news phrases and words such as "you woz", "bare" and "innit" will no longer be tolerated at Harris Academy in Upper Norwood.
The institution is one of 27 academies and free schools in and around London sponsored by the Harris Federation.
The school has seemingly put up signs with a list of "banned words," which was posted online by one disgruntled Twitter user.
The Harris Academy in Norwood has started banning words. Fuck them obviously: pic.twitter.com/MkK8bqZ65v— Neil Griffiths (@_griff) October 14, 2013
Labour MP for Tottenham David Lammy defended the move, only lamenting that "sup blood" was not included.
He told the Daily Mail: "I think this is a very good idea. Speaking slang is fine in a social setting but a school should be a professional, educational environment and if part of that means banning slang then that's fine by me."
The MP added the move would aid students in getting a job.
Other, however, have reacted less positively:

I'm going to stop talking about the "banning slang is ridiculous and won't work and is ridiculous" thing now, but fuck you, Harris Academy.— Something About Cats (@Shakteh) October 14, 2013

Logan Mann has been the head baseball coach at Southern Virginia University since the 2010 season.
Mann will be leading the team into the third year of Capital Athletic Conference play.
In his first year as head coach, Mann led baseball to the program's first .500 season (21-21) as the Knights returned to the USCAA Small College World Series for the first time since 2005.
The next season, Mann coached the Knights to a program-best 30-10 record capped by a second-place finish at the 2011 USCAA Small College World Series.
The 2011 Knights also set several offensive and defensive program records under Mann, including highest team batting average (.337), highest team slugging percentage (.509), most hits (415), most runs scored (311), most runs batted in (281), highest fielding percentage (.954) and lowest earned run average (3.60).
In 2012 and 2013, Mann led Southern Virginia to back-to-back 18-win seasons. In his four seasons at the helm, Mann has taken the Knights to four straight USCAA Small College World Series berths and .500-plus seasons—both program records.
Prior to coaching, Mann was a three-year starter on Southern Virginia's baseball team as infielder and pitcher from 2007-2009.
Mann served a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Tegucigalpa, Honduras and earned his bachelor's degree from Southern Virginia University in business management and Spanish. Mann is currently working on a master's degree in Sports Management and Administration.
He resides in Buena Vista with his wife and three kids.

Soldier Who Claimed 'Hurt Locker' Must Be About Him SLAPPed Down
from the you're-so-vain,-you-think-this-hurt-locker-is-about-you dept
Either way, the case has not survived its own hurt locker. Using California's anti-SLAPP law, the judge made quick work dismissing the case. The judge noted that the movie was protected by the First Amendment, and the lawsuit was an attempt to silence that. Separately, it found little chance that the guy would prevail on a publicity rights claim, because "no reasonable trier of fact could conclude that the work was not transformative," since the movie character was, in fact, quite different from the actual guy. As for the defamation claim, the court dumped those, noting that the movie is fiction and not about the guy... but even if it were the movie probably wasn't defamatory:
The Court agrees with Defendants that the movie is sufficiently transformative such that Plaintiff's defamation claim is barred. Further, Will James is not Plaintiff's name, and the beginning of the film contains a specific disclaimer that the film is a work of fiction. (Hurt Locker Motion at 15.) However, even assuming, arguendo, that a reasonable viewer would believe the movie is about Plaintiff, he has nevertheless failed to present sufficient evidence to establish a prima facie case that the depictions of him are false.The judge says that Sarver's complaints that the movie portrays him as a bad father and having no respect or compassion for human life, don't rise to the level of defamation. In fact, in what may be a bit of film criticism by the judge, the various claims are disputed, saying that the character of Will James in the film does appear to care about his son, does have compassion and was not "fascinated with war and death." It also notes that the evidence suggests that Sarver was pretty fascinated by his job in the war, so even if the movie character was portrayed that way, it wouldn't be defamation.
There were a few other charges in the lawsuit, and each one was dismissed with ease. In fact, things were so against Server that the judge has now ordered him to pay the legal fees of the movie's producers. Nice to see a little common sense pushback for people being overly aggressive in claiming rights they don't have.

London: A costly error by Hammers` defender James Collins allowed the hosts to open the scoring inside five minutes, and they were made to pay for the mistake as the Royals held firm.
Reading recorded three vital points in their search to escape a Premier League relegation scrap by beating West Ham at the Madejski Stadium.
James Collins` scuffed pass back allowed Pavel Pogrebnyak to give the hosts the lead early on, but the game failed to take off for the remainder of the first period. Things were much the same after the break, with the Hammers unable to find an answer and the home side holding on.
Both sides were unchanged from their respecting Boxing Day clashes, Pogrebnyak continuing as the lone striker for Reading while Carton Cole was available for the visitors after the red card received against Everton was rescinded.
The Hammers also welcomed Ricardo Vaz Te back with a place on the bench.
Just five minutes into the game Hammers` defender Collins was caught red-faced when he tried to simply knock the ball back to Jussi Jaaskelainen. However, he ended up assisting Royals` forward Pogrebnyak with a terrible error, his back-pass hitting his other foot before playing the Russian in for a simple finish.
The Hammers managed to get a bit of a foothold in the game thereafter and conjured up a decent chance when Kevin Nolan crossed from the left, Winston Reid`s header denied only by a fantastic reflex save by Adam Federici.
However, the clash then became very scrappy with niggling fouls and mis-placed passes taking over and, in part due to the quality of Reading`s defending, there were no other real chances of note before the break.
The second half began much like the first ended, with neither side able to cut through the other`s defence. Cole had a half-chance for the visitors but but his header flew over, while the lively Matthew Jarvis had a strike blocked by Alex Pearce.
With the Hammers looking slightly the better side, and almost pulling one back through substitute Jack Collison, the Royals then nearly doubled their lead through Jem Karacan, the midfielder slamming an effort against the crossbar before Jimmy Kebe`s follow up went wide.
Despite some minor pressure late on, and Vaz Te missing an open goal with a free header from all of six yards, McDermott`s men proceeded to hold on to the vital win that will give them a much-needed boost in the race for survival.

New Safe Sleep Recommendations to Protect Against SIDS video
As a parent or caregiver, you can take steps to create a safe sleep environment for your baby. When you put your baby "safe to sleep" for every sleep, you reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and other causes of sleep-related infant death. The steps below help protect your baby in a variety of ways. Some make your baby less likely to suffocate accidentally during sleep. Others help your baby avoid infections or wake up more easily from sleep. In addition to preventing sudden death, most of these steps have extra health benefits for babies and their caregivers.

The Orioles announced Thursday that they've signed four players -- infielders Ivan De Jesus Jr. and Chris Marrero, outfielder Xavier Paul and right-hander Fabio Castillo -- to minor league deals and invited all four to spring training.
Castillo, a former Texas Rangers farmhand who spent the last year in the San Francisco Giants organization, is the only one whose signing had not been previously reported.
Originally signed out of the Dominican Republic by the Rangers, Castillo is 33-37 with a 4.63 ERA in 251 minor league games (37 starts) in his career. Last year, he was a combined 6-7 with a 5.34 ERA in 37 games (seven starts) at Double-A and Triple-A.

Medical claims costs — the biggest driver of health insurance premiums — could jump more than 20 percent for Floridian's individual policies under the federal health overhaul.
TALLAHASSEE | Medical claims costs — the biggest driver of health insurance premiums — could jump more than 20 percent for Floridian's individual policies under the federal health overhaul, according to a study by the nation's leading group of financial risk analysts.
Uncertainty over costs associated with the Affordable Care Act has been a major concern among Florida's GOP-controlled Legislature. The study by the Society of Actuaries comes as lawmakers are still trying to decide whether they will offer health coverage to an expanded Medicaid population and how they will tailor state insurance regulations to conform with the federal health law.
The greater costs could mean higher insurance premiums for residents who will buy individual policies through Florida's health benefit exchange. The report does not project medical claim costs for employer-sponsored plans, which cover the majority of workers
House and Senate committees recently voted against expanding Medicaid coverage to more than 1 million Floridians, worrying the federal government wouldn't live up to its promise to pay for 100 percent of the bill for the first three years and 90 percent after that. Republican Sen. Joe Negron has instead proposed a voucher plan that would use those federal dollars to help residents purchase private insurance, but it's unclear whether the House will be receptive to that plan.
If Florida lawmakers do not expand Medicaid or offer some type of alternative coverage to that population the study estimates a 22 percent increase in medical costs for individual coverage under the Affordable Care Act by 2017. If the state does expand Medicaid, the analysis predicts a 26 percent increase, according to recently released estimates by the Society of Actuaries to its members.
"The certainty of dramatic increases in premiums is one of the least recognized and discussed aspects of the Affordable Care Act and it's one of the reasons (Senate President Don) Gaetz and I have been so cautious and circumspect in developing our budget," said Sen. Joe Negron, a Stuart Republican, who chaired a committee overseeing implementation of the federal health law.
The other major portion of the federal health law sets up state health exchanges, an online marketplace where individuals and small businesses can browse different health plans from private providers and see if they qualify for federal subsidies to help pay for the plans. Low-income people will be steered to Medicaid and other safety net programs.
The study from the Society of Actuaries concluded the overwhelming majority will see double-digit increases when purchasing coverage directly from insurers.
By 2017, the estimated increase would be 62 percent for California, about 80 percent for Ohio and 67 percent for Maryland. Much of the reason for the higher claims costs is that sicker people are expected to join the pool, the report said.
The report did not make similar estimates for employer plans, the mainstay for workers and their families. That's because the primary impact of Obama's law is on people who don't have coverage through their jobs.
Sen. David Simmons and other Republican lawmakers worry that if the state does not offer some type of alternative Medicaid plan, then the increased costs will be passed onto small businesses. One of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act requires business with 50 or more employees to offer health coverage.
House Democratic leaders said they will review the study but haven't changed their position on the federal health law.
"Florida House Democratic Caucus members are aware that there are new costs associated with expanding health coverage to another 1 million Floridians and that there are billions of available federal dollars to help provide the care. House Democratic Caucus members recognize that an expansion of health coverage will create high-paying jobs, be good for Florida's economy, and will improve health outcomes for hundreds of thousands of Floridians," said Mark Hollis, spokesman for House Democratic Leader Perry Thurston, D-Fort Lauderdale.
Both chambers of the state Legislature have also signaled they will offer health coverage to the state's part time employees rather than face a $318 million penalty.
"We've budgeted for that but it's one reason I think it's important for us to have significant reserves because we just don't know the costs," Negron said.

The show will go on for Britain's Got Talent hopeful Paddy and her partner Nico after the 79-year-old salsa dancer was given the all clear by her doctor.
Sarah "Paddy" Jones, and her Spanish partner Nicolas Espinosa, had been forced to withdraw from today's live semi-final after she injured her ribs during rehearsals.
But on Friday night Ms Jones revealed that she is feeling better and will be able to take to the stage to pursue her dream of getting into the show's finale after all.
She said: "I hurt my rib almost two weeks ago whilst rehearsing my routine with Nico.
"After resting, since then over the last few days I have been feeling much better and today I spoke to Britain's Got Talent and told them that I felt I would be fit enough to dance.
"After seeing a top doctor in London this afternoon I have been given the all clear to perform on [today's] show and this is something I very much want to do."
Judge Amanda Holden, who chose the pair as her Golden Buzzer act, had said she was 'devastated' the dancing duo would not be able to continue to compete and thought they could be in with a chance of winning the competition.
She previously told Britain's Got More Talent host Stephen Mulhern: "Obviously, the most important thing is that she makes a recovery. I think she's done something to her rib. I'm gutted because I actually think she would have won Britain's Got Talent 2014."
"Ever since I first saw Paddy dance I fell in love with her. I was so looking forward to her and Nico wowing us with another amazing routine in the semi-finals."
The pair impressed all four judges – Holden, Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams – with their exuberant moves when they appeared in the first episode of the series.
They faced controversy following their successful audition as it emerged they previously won a Spanish talent competition, although Cowell defended their right to compete in Britain's Got Talent.
A spokesman for the ITV1 show said: "We can confirm that after Paddy spoke to us about feeling fit enough to perform, and following further medical advice and tests from a top London specialist, who has advised that she is able to dance, she will be performing in tomorrow night's show.
"Alongside her dance partner Nico she will be performing a modified version of the routine they had originally planned."
The last live Britain's Got Talent semi-final takes place on ITV1 on Saturday, with the final on June 7.

Is it? - I can't see for myself how bright it is while riding. The front light is much dimmer while stationary, so I assumed the rear dimmed also. Perhaps it was my angle of view, but when I got off the bike and checked the rear light I was unimpressed by its brightness. Maybe I need to be looking from further behind - have you actually observed your tailight from a drivers persective? Both moving and stationary?

Overall it is pretty inconspicuous to most views.
I considered that route you used, but chose the more direct path along the rear brake cable (which is fastened to three custom retainers under the top tube) and along the rack stay. I don't want to cable tie the wiring onto the rack, as it's likely I'll have to remove the rack to pack the bike for air travel.
It is quite inconspicuous, but I know it's there and as I've said before vis-a-vis the charging system wiring, I'm very particular about these things, and that is one reason why I hadn't fitted the lights sooner.

|The Story of the Val di Non: "The Martyrdom of Martyrius and Alexander", 1525
Bernardino Luini

Not on view
Bernardino Luini, a celebrated Milanese painter, followed the pictorial traditions of Leonardo da Vinci. His style is characterized by soft, rounded forms and simplified structures. These panels originally formed part of an altarpiece painted for the Church of Saint Sisinio a Mendrisio near Lake Lugano.
In the" Vow of the Three Friends," Saints Sisinio, Martyrius and Alexander set forth on their journey from Cappodocia. In "The Ordination" the three are invested by the Bishop of Trent and sent out as missionaries. The "Altar of Saturn" shows them refusing to sacrifice to a pagan deity, angering the local priest. This is followed by the "Martyrdom of Martyrius and Alexander", in which the two monks are killed by angry local pagans. The "Martyrdom of Saint Sisinio" shows the bound bodies of the three saints dragged by soldiers. Their church, seen in the background, was later destroyed by the pagans.

Okay, I wasn't even close. I was going for the light blue with silver sparkles (colour of the aegean sea, of course :-) ). I just go for your basic "cheap chevy red". Not at all subtle but basically neutral.
And how the heck do you get a male? I haven't seen a male in my nail shop (other than those dropping off/picking up customers) for years and Jack never did pedicures, just nails.

Had a guy do my pedicure while his wife did my mom's. It was extremely interesting ... would totally feed into your bad is good thoughts.
And I was going with A - Metallic Royal Blue - I was thinking of the Greek flag...
But to back you up - picking the color is always the hardest for me - which drives my mom and daughter crazy because I inevitably end up with almost the exact same color every time!

|Statement by Ambassador Wang Min at the Security Council Debate on Haiti
Mr. President,
Allow me to thank the Acting Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Fisher, for his briefing.
The security situation in Haiti has been stable of late. The development and reconstruction process has moved forward. China welcomes the Haitian Government's successful hosting of an intersessional meeting of the Caribbean Community in February. At the same time, Haiti faces political, economic and humanitarian difficulties and still has much to do to return to the path of development. To that end, Haiti needs the international community's support.
We hope that the Haitian Government and the international community, as well as the Haitian political parties, will pursue the democratic process through reconciliation so as to guarantee the smooth conduct of free, fair and credible elections by 2014 and to consolidate the country's achievements to date.
Hurricane Sandy ravaged Haiti, but the country is also encountering difficulties in improving living conditions, creating employment and promoting sustainable development. We call on the international community to pay close attention to the reconstruction efforts in Haiti, uphold its aid commitments, and improve the effectiveness of assistance so as to contribute constructively to the rebuilding and development of the country. China supports the Secretary-General's initiative to eradicate cholera in Haiti.
We welcome the efforts and contributions of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti to peace and stability in the country. We note the consolidation plan 2013-2016 for MINUSTAH, submitted by the Secretary-General, and we hope that MINUSTAH will continue to carry out its Security Council mandate by helping Haiti to move forward with the political process, maintaining the security and stability of the country, and bolstering the rule of law and institutional stability. Regarding the Mission's drawdown, we need to hear the views of the various parties involved so as to better guide this process.
Thank you, Mr. President.

Miss USA Erin Brady overcame her mother's divorce to an alcoholic father at a young age and later waitressed to put herself through college.
She moved out of her parents' house at 18 and took in her younger sister. She worked 12 hour waitressing shifts to support them and to put herself through Central Connecticut State University. She graduated with a finance degree with honors and later got a job as a financial accountant with Prudential.
Brady's relatives told the Daily Mail that Brady is an "inspiration" and has "always been the big sister" to her two younger siblings and made sure that they did not follow the same path as their father. Her paternal grandmother, Theresa Brady, said about her, "Erin has always watched out for her sisters. She was a real big sister to them, she stepped up to that role and made sure they didn't get involved with drink or drugs or anything like that."
Her parents divorced when she was about eight and she and her two sisters lived with their mother. Her father has two convictions for drunk and disorderly behavior and one misdemeanor in 2000 and 2001 respectively. The second time he was ordered to attend a 26 week 'Family Violence' course. He hit bottom in 2009 when he trashed the house of his girlfriend and spent three months in jail for breaching an order not to go near her. Despite his troubles, the Brady daughters have remained close to him.
Brady has kept her past obstacles relatively hidden. In interviews she glossed over her past saying that her family had its share of alcohol and substance abuse. She said that it was a "struggle but it shaped who I am." The momentous responsibility she took on at a young age has made her feel older than she is. Brady has said, "Sometimes I feel like a 35-year-old in a 25-year-old body but the struggles have helped me be better."
She attended Portland High School in Connecticut and was a member of the choir and the National Honor Society. Her classmates voted her "Best Personality" and she was crowned Prom Queen at the 2004 prom. In her yearbook her motto reads, "Life is too good to feel bad."
Brady was crowned Miss USA on Sunday, June 16, 2013 at the Planet Hollywood Resort Casino in Las Vegas. She will have the use of a New York apartment for a year and many other opportunities. She had previously won Miss Connecticut 2013, which allowed her to compete in the Miss USA pageant. Brady entered her first beauty pageant last year. She says she waited because in her words she "wasn't in the right state of mind."
Her mother, sister Lauren, and her father were in Las Vegas to see her crowned. Brady wants to use the platform of Miss USA to raise awareness of charities which help children of alcoholics. She has said, "I grew up in a family influenced by that and I think it's really important to help the children of families that are suffering from those problems." There's no doubt she will achieve that. As her grandmother has said, "She's a born leader."

Well that's something you don't see every day.
A meteor crashed down in eastern Russia, and we are lucky enough that someone was able to catch it on video.
Health officials say nearly 1,000 people have sought help for injuries caused by the meteor that exploded in the sky, blasting out countless windows.
The Russian Academy of Sciences said the meteor- estimated to be about 10 tons- entered the Earth's atmosphere going at least 54,000 kph (33,000 mph). It shattered about 30-50 kilometers (18-32 miles) above the ground, releasing several kilotons of energy above the Ural Mountains.

LocationVellinge, Sweden
Structural EngineerIstvan Szlavy, Tyréns
ClientHåkansson Family
BuilderLars Benjaminsson
Project Year2009
Text description provided by the architects. Höllviken south of Malmö is originally a seaside summer resort. A young couple wanted to build a house on a traditional summer house lot that had to be very modern, and at the same time suitable for a flexible family life.
The most economical solution considering the planning regulations of the area is the traditional 1,5-story house most common in the south of Sweden. This strategy would also enable us to save some of the trees and vegetation on the site.
From a designers point of view this building type is a challenge. A traditional saddle roof is to be combined with a held-back modern design. This leads to challenges around the roof edges. Large glazed sliding doors and crisp dormers require steel reinforcements within the timber frame. A goal in the design process was to create a prismatic form, a play of volumes without any unnecessary leaps or edges.
The design dissolves the traditional 1,5-story bottom level plan and opens up the structure both over the corners and up through the first floor. Lines-of-sight penetrate the house and the window positions work to frame the scenery on the outside.

Don't write off Intel in the mobile space just yet. The company has big plans and of course they are all wrapped around the Atom architecture.
We know that Intel is still committed to launch its MeeGo 1.2 and rock the mobile world with Nokia, but in all likelihood this will take some time. Before this happens Intel plans to launch an Atom optimised version of Gingerbread. As Gingerbread Android 2.3 is open source, Intel will most likely do a lot of optimisations on its own, but we are sure that someone from Google will offer a helping hand, too.
The release of Atom optimised Android 2.3, aka Gingerbread is scheduled for Q2 2011 but it can slip if Google postpone the release of open source Gingerbread. Intel also plans a Honeycomb version of open source tablet software, again optimised for Atom CPUs. In addition to MeeGo, most tablets based on Atoms should be able to run Android as well. May the better OS win.

|Official Title ICMJE
|Maternal Tenofovir-containing Combination Drug Regimen During the Second and Third Trimesters of Pregnancy for Prevention of Mother-to-child Transmission of HIV and HBV in HIV-HBV Co-infected Mothers
|Brief Summary
|The purpose of this study is to compare a regimen of tenofovir/lamivudine/lopinavir-ritonavir to the WHO-recommended and locally practiced standard of care regimen consisting of zidovudine/lamivudine/lopinavir-ritonavir during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy in HIV and HBV co-infected women. This is a phase II study evaluating the safety of the test regimen in pregnant women and their newborns. While the study is not powered to examine efficacy, preliminary estimates of transmission of HIV and HBV to the infants and of the rate of resistance development will be obtained.
|Detailed Description
Great progress has been made in preventing mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV in resource-rich settings with the use of combination antiretroviral regimens during pregnancy and peripartum. In the resource-limited world simple inexpensive regimens administered peripartum, such as single dose nevirapine to mothers and infants, have been effective in reducing transmission but at the cost of development of resistance. Strategies that will allow women to preserve their antiretroviral options when they will need therapy for their own HIV disease and will improve efficacy are urgently needed. Moreover, co-infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a problem for a substantial proportion of HIV-infected pregnant women. HIV alters the course of HBV disease by increasing levels of HBV DNA replication and thus risk of transmission to the newborn. HBV immunization in the infant with the first dose started soon after birth has decreased the bulk of such transmission, but the risk remains, particularly for mothers with HBe antigen positivity. Ideally an antiviral regimen administered during pregnancy with activity against both viruses would minimize transmission of both HIV and HBV to the infant.
The investigators propose to study a combination of tenofovir/lamivudine/lopinavir-ritonavir started between 14 and 28 weeks of pregnancy in HIV and HBV co-infected women. This regimen provides potent antiviral activity for prevention of MTCT. In addition, tenofovir and lamivudine both have activity against HBV, and could play a role in decreasing transmission of HBV to the infant. This regimen will be compared to the WHO-recommended and locally practiced standard of care, consisting of zidovudine/lamivudine/lopinavir-ritonavir, also starting at 14-28 weeks of pregnancy. This will be a phase II study evaluating the safety of the test regimen in pregnant women and their newborns, in particular renal, bone mineral density and hepatic toxicity (including hepatic flares post discontinuation of therapy). The study will recruit 80 pregnant women of at least 20 years of age in China and follow them and their infants for 12 months post-delivery. The investigators will recruit from prenatal clinics in some of the districts most heavily affected by HIV in the Guangxi province in China. China is selected for this study as it is hyperendemic for hepatitis B and has a rising HIV epidemic. Although not powered to examine efficacy, preliminary estimates of transmission of HIV and HBV to the infants and of the rate of resistance development will be obtained. The study will be done in collaboration with CDC-GAP China and the Chinese Ministry of Health-National Center for AIDS, which will coordinate recruitment, study visits and data collection through the local HIV/AIDS coordinators.

Current Air Quality for Placer County
Tahoe City
Foresthill (Temporary Site)
Smoke from wildfires can pose health hazards to downwind communities. It often catches us off-guard when it moves into a community.
This downloadable Outdoor Activities Smoke Guide (.pdf) developed by Placer County Air Pollution Control District staff, in consultation with the Placer County Health Department staff, is intended to help in decision making when it is smoky outside. Reducing your exposure by using common-sense precautions is the best way to protect oneself from smoke.
Not everyone who is exposed to thick smoke will have health problems. The level and duration of exposure, age, individual susceptibility, including the presence or absence of pre-existing lung or heart disease, and other factors play significant roles in determining whether or not someone will experience smoke-related health problems.
Smoke is a complex mixture of particles and gases which, includes carbon dioxide, water vapor, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, hydrocarbons and other organic chemicals, nitrogen oxides, trace minerals and several thousand other compounds. The actual composition of smoke depends on the fuel type, the temperature of the fire, and the wind conditions.
While the ash and smoke are visible reminders of the pollution currently impacting an area, be even more cautious of the fine particles you can't see. These particles, which are invisible to the naked eye, bypass our natural defense system and lodge into our lungs. They can cause irritation , and over the long-term cause decreased lung function. They also make us more susceptible to developing diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and possibly cancer.
For information on Dealing with Smoke, the following fliers can be downloaded. More in-depth information follows below.

Further information on the Health Threat From Wildfire Smoke can be found at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .
Specific Strategies on Reducing Your Exposure to Smoke
Here are some tips you can follow to protect you and your family members from unhealthful air:
This strategy will depend on how clean the indoor air is. A tightly closed, air-conditioned house, with the air conditioner set on re-circulate air is best. Staying inside with the windows and doors closed reduces exposure, however fine particles can still be a problem inside. Very leaky homes and buildings may offer little protection and require relocation to somewhere with better air quality.
Most healthy adults and children will recover quickly from smoke exposures and may not suffer long-term consequences. However, certain sensitive populations may experience more severe short-term and chronic symptoms from smoke exposure.
In areas where wildfires are likely to occur consider some of the following tips to help you prepare in the event of smoke impacts:

Google's Complete Map Content Specifications
IntroductionThis document provides Google's specifications for the format and delivery of aerial imagery, digital terrain models, 3D models and transit route and schedule data for publication on Google Maps, Google Earth and other Google services.
Google supports 3D models with and without textures, and extruded 2.5D building footprints without textures. The formats we support for each are:
- 3D textured - .skp, .kmz (.kml + .dae)
- 3D non-textured - .shp, .skp, .kmz (.kml + .dae)
- 2.5D non-textured - .shp, .csv, .kmz (.kml + .dae)
ESRI .shp file notes
- Include the .prj file which contains information describing the geospatial coordinates
- Include a "HEIGHT" value in the .shp file Attribute Table for setting the relative heights for the buildings. (it's a common term that helps identify building heights when doing the processing.) If using another value, supply us with the name of the value (e.g. "Building Heights")
- Set building heights to Relative elevation
- If using height extrusion, add ~3 meters to the extrusion to ensure terrain intersection
- Align your building data to structure's foundation using Google Earth imagery prior to submitting the data for evaluation (.shp files can be imported in Google Earth to test this)
- Each building and it's components should be a single element (i.e. Dormers, roofs, chimneys, etc., and the main structure should be consolidated or merged into one element) - This can be done easily if there is shared data field associating the components, such as a parcel or address data, in the .shp file Attribute Table.
- Ensure efficient and accurate geometry. This includes: no broken vertices, no missing faces, no gaps in structures, no internal geometry, and no z-fighting on faces
The following guidelines apply to the model's geometries:
- Individual models should have fewer than 5000 polygons each.
- They should never be complex; photo-textures should be used in lieu of geometries where possible.
- Polygons should never have broken vertices, T intersections, spiderweb faces, hidden/missing faces, z-fighting, self-intersections or internal/unseen geometry.
- Individual buildings should be represented by a single group of geometries, not multiple stacked primitives.
The following guidelines apply to the model's textures:
- They must be JPEGs (exception is .png materials with alpha channel representing elements such as railings, windows, grates, stair cases, etc..).
- They must never exhibit Z-fighting.
- They must be sized in powers of two, preferably 1024 x 1024 (max resolution:2048 x 2048).
- They must have accurate and non-repeating images for street-side faces.
- Auto-generated textures such as repeating facades, or procedural textures.
- Partial textures such as single facades only.
The following guidelines apply to the model's alignment:
- Models must be correctly aligned to the underlying imagery published in Google Earth.
- Models must have their height set as relative to the underlying DEM, not absolute; 2.5D and .shp data must have a 3 meter extrusion applied to account for variances in published terrain.
- Models should never float above the terrain when loaded into Google Earth, unless provided with the corresponding DEM they were cut to match.
The following guidelines apply to the directory and file structure of the models:
- Data must not have double-byte or extended ASCII characters in the model names, texture names, file/folder, or subdirectory names.
- Data should not be packaged using excessive nested directories.
The following metadata should also be included in a separate text file:
- A complete list of model files
- Indicate scale in meters or feet
- A complete building count (not just a model count, but a count of the buildings/structures that the data set represents)
Aerial Imagery
We accept 24-bit 3 band RGB imagery (no alpha channel) delivered as uncompressed GeoTIFF or JPEG2000 files at quality level 25 or better.
As a general note, we prefer to receive individual imagery tiles rather than a single mosaic.
Projection information
Each image must be accompanied by one of: a text description of the map projection (WKT), an ESRI .prj file describing the projection or the European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG) code for the projection. We also accept the projection information embedded directly in the imagery headers.
We accept imagery projected using a standard cartographic projection such as Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), a satellite-based datum such as GRS80, or WGS84; or in Geographic Coordinates (aka "latitude/longitude") with WGS84 datum. Images should be north-aligned and have rotation parameters set to zero.
As a general note, we prefer data that has undergone the least amount of transformations, as the resampling process degrades the data with each iteration. If given a choice with no other background information, a projected coordinate system (UTM, national grid, stateplane, etc.) is preferred over a geographic coordinate system (latitude-longitude). This is because pixel dimensions vary with latitude in geographically projected data.
The following metadata should also be included in a separate text file:
- Data acquisition start data: dd/mm/yyyy - end date: dd/mm/yyyy
- Pixel resolution size
- Map projection used when the image set was orthorectified
- Final map projection of the delivered product (if different from original projection)
- Best known positional accuracy of the final product
- Any known issues with the imagery
Imagery directory and file structure
All files should be grouped into a logical folder structure based on geography, date, resolution, and type. There should be no spaces in the names of any files or folders.
For example:
--> Las_Vegas
-> 2007_1ft_RGB
-> 2007_1ft_RGB.tif
-> 2007_1ft_RGB.tfw
-> 2007_1ft_RGB.prj
-> 2007_1ft_RGB_metadata.txt
-> 2007_1ft_RGB.shp
-> 2007_1ft_RGB.shx
-> 2007_1ft_RGB.dbf
-> 2008_1ft_BW
-> 2000_6in_RGB
-> 1990_2ft_CIR
--> Reno
-> 2009_3in_RGB
-> 2004_6in_RGB
Additional information
Color infrared as well as black and white may be acceptable for older and historical imagery. Also, in some cases we may acceptimagery that has been georeferenced as opposed to orthorectified. This imagery must be in one of the above formats.
We generally do not accept un-referenced film/plate scans (images that have just been scanned in and not referenced). However, feel free to tell us about the data you have to share so we can determine if it is accepable.
Base Map (Vector) Data
Types of base map data Google is most interested in:We are currently most interested in:
- Parks and Protected Areas.
- Points of Interest (hospitals, tourist attractions, government buildings).
- New Developments and Construction (residential, commercial) with the focus on:
- Road Networks
- Geocoded Addresses
- Parcel Boundaries
- Bicycle and pedestrian paths and road facilities.
Data formatsWe do accept all formats of base map (vector) data; however, when data is submitted in the formats described below, it makes it easier and quicker for Google to ingest it.
Supported data formats are:
- ESRI Shapefile
- MapInfo TAB
- KML/KMZ with the data represented as SchemaData and SimpleFields (preferred) or ExtendedData.
- DBF or CSV - If CSV, make sure it is comma-delimited, with each column surrounded by quotes to prevent issues with commas in names, etc. Also ensure that there is a header row.
- ESRI GeoDatabase (prefer data exported into individual shapefiles)
- Please use UTF-8 character encoding for vector attributes. UTF-16 and UTF-32 are also accepted.
- Please, no special character encodings!
- We prefer files to be < 1GB.
- For lookup tables, DBF or CSV is acceptable. If CSV, make sure it is comma-delimited, with each column surrounded by quotes to prevent issues with commas in names, etc. Also ensure that there is a header row.
- FGDC formatted Metadata recommended.
- We do not have standards on field types, field widths, domains, etc.
- See here for questions on contributing your data via WMS or WFS.
Common concepts in data formatThroughout this specification, we refer to the following basic representations for fields that are shared between different types of data.
Formatting AddressesAddresses are used for points of interest and geocodes as below, plus a slight variant is used for streets. Address should include the following in separate columns:
|Street Number
|Street Name and Type (the words Street, Avenue, etc., can be abbreviated)
|Powell St
|NEIGHBH (optional)
|Neighborhood Name
|Union Square
|City Name
|San Francisco
|State (Two Letter Abbreviation)
|5-digit zip code
|CNT_NAME (optional)
|County Name
|San Francisco
|CNT_FIPS (optional)
|County FIPS 6-4 code (see here and here)
GeometryIn the case of polygons, multipolygons are preferred, rather than one feature with the same name each with geometry. If a feature is comprised of several polygons, use one multipolygon to represent them. For example, if you have a park that is in two sections, then include the park in one polygon. Please also note that Inner loops/donuts (for example to exclude lakes from a park, or an island from a water feature) are accepted, polygons should have correct windings (preferred order is clockwise for both internal and external polygons), and they must not self-intersect.
In the case of polylines, please provide clean geometry - i.e. no dangling lines, undershoots, overlapping lines, or nearly overlapping lines.
Alternate names
The primary name of a POI should be given as NAME. Alternate names are very important in making it possible to find places. The NAME field is the one that will appear visibly in our maps, but if people search for the alternate names, we can point them to the right location.
Hence for POIs and so on, names can be represented as follows:
|Most well-known Name
|Alternate Name 1 (second most well known)
|Alcatraz Island
|Alternate Name 2 (Third most well known)
|Golden Gate Recreation Park (Alcatraz)
Properties of individual data types
Parks and Protected AreasParks and protected areas should have the following information:
- Polygon geometry is preferred over point geometry (scale better than 1:25,000 preferred).
- Name of park/protected area (in a field called NAME, with alternates in ALT_NM_1, ALT_NM_2).
- Optionally, parks should include an address.
- An MTFCC field for the classification of the park. For a description of preferred classification, refer to the U.S. Bureau of Census TIGER MTFCC standards. If you have a different categorization, please include a data dictionary describing the types.
- under Documentation (stored in a field called MTFCC).
- Optionally, any data related to park operating hours, parking, facilities, etc can be added in fields of the form with X_DESCRIPTION, such as: X_USAGE, X_HOURS, X_PARKING, etc.
|Short description
|Long description
|Open space; major category used alone when the minor category could not be determined
|Regional Park, Forest, or Recreation Area
|A place or area set aside for recreation or preservation of a cultural or natural resource and under the administration of a regional government.
|County Park, Forest, or Recreation Area
|A place or area set aside for recreation or preservation of a cultural or natural resource and under the administration of a county government.
|County Subdivision Park, Forest, or Recreation Area
|A place or area set aside for recreation or preservation of a cultural or natural resource and under the administration of a minor civil division (town/township) government.
|Incorporated Place Park, Forest, or Recreation Area
|A place or area set aside for recreation or preservation of a cultural or natural resource and under the administration of a municipal government.
|Private Park, Forest, or Recreation Area
|A privately owned place or area set aside for recreation or preservation of a cultural or natural resource.
|Other Park, Forest, or Recreation Area (quasi-public, independent park, commission, etc.)
|A place or area set aside for recreation or preservation of a cultural or natural resource and under the administration of some other type of government or agency such as an independent park authority or commission.
Points of Interest (POIs)Requirements and Recommendations for POIs:
- Polygons are preferred to points.
- If some POIs are points and some are polygons please have separate files for each and please be sure the classification is the same in both cases and the fields of the shape file are the same (aside from geometry).
- Point or Polygon Geometry (scale should be be better than 1:25,000).
- Please use a field called 'NAME' for the name of the POI.
- For POI categories, we recommend using the U.S. Bureau of Census TIGER FCC standards.
- Please use a field called 'MTFCC' for category name.
- If providing Polygons, please Indicate if the the geometry refers to the entire grounds or to building outlines. You may Indicate this during data submission, or add a field to the data and indicate "Grounds" or "Buildings". Optional Field naming guidelines (data related to park operating hours, parking, facilities, etc) should start with X_DESCRIPTION, such as: X_USAGE, X_HOURS, X_PARKING, etc.
- Other standards and/or custom categories will be accepted, but be please be sure to include a data dictionary.
- Generally speaking as fine-grained a classification as possible should be provided.
Building footprintsThe following apply to building footprints:
- Include full address information.
- Should include the category of usage (residential, business, etc.)
- 3D building geometry is accepted.
Parcel dataThe following apply to parcel data:
- Include full address information.
- Should have polygonal extent
Address PointsThe following apply to address points:
- Include full address information
- Do not include invalid geocoded points (e.g. no latitude/longitude values).
- The geocode should link to the segment it belongs to (using the unique id).
- They should be placed so that it is closest to the most natural access point. For instance, if a house is on the corner of a major roadway with no access from the house directly and a local road, make sure the geocode point is closer to the local road -- in other words, closer to the main entryway of the building.
- Standardize the format, so that, for example, all the addresses in an area are the same format and are consistent. For example, it is bad if one house in an area is 1-A and another one is 2B. They should all have the same format (for example, 1A and 2B).
New roads and bicycle and pedestrian pathsGoogle is presently accepted two specific types of network data: new roads, and bicycle and pedestrian paths.
- Use a segment-based representation: a segment is part of a road between two intersections. We can not accept roads that have multiple intersections hanging off of them.
- The street format is similar in many ways to the address format, with the exception of the different street number format.
- All address ranges should be specified relative to the the geometry (that is, the right side is to the right of the path from the start of the segment to the end of the segment).
|Example values
|A unique and stable identifier for the road segment
|Any alphanumeric string (e.g. "14232514")
|AR_RT_FR (optional for BP)
|Starting address on right hand side, relative to geometry
|AR_RT_TO (optional for BP)
|Ending address on right hand side, relative to geometry
|AR_LT_FR (optional for BP)
|Starting address on left hand side, relative to geometry
|AR_LT_TO (optional for BP)
|Ending address on left hand side, relative to geometry
|Street Name and Type (the words Street, Avenue, etc., can be abbreviated)
|Powell St
|ST_NM_A1 (optional)
|Alternative Name 1
|ST_NM_A2 (optional)
|Alternative Name 2
|NEIGHBH (optional)
|Neighborhood Name
|Union Square
|City Name
|San Francisco
|State (Two Letter Abbreviation)
|ZIP (optional for BP)
|5-digit zip code
|CNT_NAME (optional)
|County Name
|San Francisco
|CNT_FIPS (optional)
|County code (see here and here.)
|ONEWAY (optional for BP)
|One-wayness - relative to the direction of geometry
|"None", "To-From", and "From-To"
|PRIORITY (optional for BP)
|We would consider the following levels: interstate, federal/state highway, expressway, minor arterial, local, not intended for public traffic.
|minor arterial
|LANES (optional)
|Number of lanes
|SURFACE (optional)
|Road Surface
|Paved or Unpaved
|SPEED_LM (optional)
|Speed limit in MPH
|AVG_SP (optional)
|Average Speed
|CAR (optional)
|Cars are allowed on this segment?
|Allowed, Small vehicles only (mopeds etc), None, Disallowed
|PEDEST (optional)
|Whether the segment allows bikes, and if so, what type it is
|One of: Trail, Walkway, Mall, Sidewalk, Wide Shoulder, None, Disallowed
|BIKE (optional)
|Whether the segment allows bikes, and if so, what type it is
|One of: Trail, Bike Lane, Wide Shoulder, Recommended, None, Disallowed
|SEPARATED (optional)
|Whether the road is separated by a barrier in the middle
|TURN_R (optional)
|Turn Restrictions (or see below for exact format)
|Freeform text
|ELEVATION (optional)
|If the road is elevated, or a bridge or a tunnel
|One of: bridge, tunnel, overpass, underpass
We are happy to accept turn restrictions as freeform text to make it easier for people to submit data as turn restriction formats can be very complicated. We can accept turn restrictions in any format. However, to assist, here is a model format that would typically be delivered as a CSV file or a DBF file:
The ID (see the id column above of a road segment) of the segment where the turn restriction starts
The end of the segment the turn restriction applies to relative to its geometry.
Either "FROM" or "TO"
The ID (see the id column of a road segment) of the segment where the turn restriction ends
The end of the segment the turn restriction applies to relative to its geometry
Either "FROM" or "TO"
The mode of transportation the limitation applies to.
Either "ALL", "PEDESTRIAN", "CAR", "TRUCK", "BUS" or "NON-HOV"
The start time of the turn restriction, in 24 hour notation. Leave this and END_TM blank for permanent restriction
The end time of the turn restriction, in 24 hour notation. Leave this and START_TM blank for permanent restriction
Type of turn restriction
Either "NO LEFT TURN", "NO RIGHT TURN" or "NO U-TURN"
Digital Terrain Models
We accept most GDAL supported, single band, type Float32, uncompressed raster data formats with a height value in meters.
Supported formats are:
- GeoTIFF (GTiff: ".tif")
- Arc/Info Binary Grid (AIG: ".adf")
- Arc/Info ASCII Grid (AAIGrid: ".asc")
- Erdas Imagine Images (HFA: ".img")
- SDTS Raster (SDTS: ".DDF")
- USGS ASCII DEM (USGSDEM: ".dem")
- Int16, UInt16, UInt32, Int32, Float32
Projection information
Terrain data has the same horizontal projection requirements as imagery.
Vertical reference should be expressed in units relative to the geoid (i.e. ETM96). This approximates an elevation of zero for mean sea level. If the vertical reference is directly expressed as mean sea level, as with USGS DEM data, this is acceptable. Preferred height unit is meter.
Terrain directory and file structure
Terrain data has the same directory and file structure requirements as imagery.
Additional information
It is important that the NODATA value is defined, and in coastal areas not set to 0 so as to avoid confusion with the water surface.

I work in manhattan and Zygo has slowly but surely been popping up everywhere. It's good. As a bartender it's the only new liquor that has come out in the last few years that I can actually sell without a distributor handing out money as an incentive. Whatever, I've met the owners of the stuff too. They ar really good guys, and they have a great idea. Plus they are really hands on and care about their brand. They are in a hundred and fifty spots in NYC and supposedly they hands sell almost all of it themselves. Anyway, it's really good, they have a website and I want to help these guys out because they have something I really like and a lot of my co-workers do too. It's a peach flavored vodka infused with taurine, D-Ribose, Guarana, and Yerba Mate. check it out www.energyvodka.com

Zygo is good.
Had it at house party this past weekend. I was surprised at the taste since most energy drinks taste like medicine.
Not bad.

The key features of OMCI are:
CIM 2.17 Schema Support
OMCI conforms to the CIM 2.17 Schema, and includes two WMI providers:
BIOS Configuration
OMCI provides the ability to configure a system BIOS, including management of its boot order.
WMI Security
WMI provides user authentication before granting access to CIM data and methods. Access privileges are enforced by Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) security and CIMOM. Access, whether full or limited, is granted to users on per-namespace basis. There is no class implementation or property-level security. By default, users who are members of the administrators group have full local and remote access to WMI.
You can configure WMI security using the WMI Control available in the Computer Management console under the Services and Applications section. Right-click WMI Control, and then click Properties. You can configure namespace-specific security from the Security tab. You can also execute WMI Control from the Start menu or from the command prompt, by running wmimgmt.msc.
Event Reporting
OMCI detects events on Dell systems and alerts the local user and network administrator about potential failures, configuration changes, and chassis intrusions. These events are displayed by a systems management application such as Open Manage Essentials (OME).
Remote Shut Down
OMCI supports remote system shut down and reboot.
Information Access
OMCI provides access to system information such as BIOS revision and system model through WMI using CIM. The WSMAN protocol can also be used to access this information through WMI.
Detailed Asset Information
OMCI provides access to detailed inventory information such as processors, PCI devices, and batteries.
Remote Wake-Up Configuration
OMCI supports configuration of remote wake-up settings. Remote wake-up is a function of the client system and Network Interface Card (NIC).
Remote Modification of System Settings
OMCI allows IT administrators to retrieve and set Dell business client BIOS settings such as USB port configuration, boot order, and NIC settings.
System Health and Status
OMCI monitors the system health such as fan status and reports the status through NT event log entries and CIM events.

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
The Casket Creatures - "The Curse Of The Mummy's Tomb"
Artist Bio:
The Casket Creatures are a southern horror punk/rock band that brings a new sound to the genre. We have recently played with Wednesday 13 and opened for Static X, Davey Suicide, Michale Graves (former Misfits vocalist) and we played in NJ at GNO X the largest horror punk festival in the US.
About The Video:
This video came together so fast but turned out exactly how we envisioned. We really wanted an old school silent film/Abbot and Costello feel to the whole thing. Every ridiculous idea we had got thrown into the video and with the excellent direction from James and the killer set design it came together great.
Director Name: James Nation
Producer Name: The Casket Creatures

text: An orchestral piece of music that is inspired by the slow rising of the sun at dawn. It first starts with a slow and steady pizzicato from the cellos and basses to represent the slow creeping of first light. Then the violins join in to add brightness. Soon after a heavenly choir joins in (as if angels themselves descended to sing) with lush harmonies to give more warmth and body. The piece then climaxes with a bold and brave theme by the horns and the timpani! Truly a great piece to show growth, victory and a fresh new start!

10 Tips For Younger Guys Dating Older Women
Here are 10 tips for younger guys dating older women. Dating older women can be a very enjoyable experience. Because women, on average, mature faster than men, a lot of the dating issues you find with women your own age can be avoided. This doesn't mean that women in a different age bracket don't offer a whole different set of issues to deal with.
- Don't be childish. The dating game is just that–a game. The problem is, the game changes the older you get. Dating older women means that the interactions you have will naturally be different than those with a mid-twenty-something girl. An older woman has probably been through issues that you're brand new to. She won't want to deal with the petty crap you can normally get away with with a younger girl.
- Know where you're going. Dating older women means dealing with someone who is either already established in the world or closer to that goal than you. She'll be looking at you to see where you're trying to go in life. You better have a plan. Selling her pipe dreams like "baby I'll buy you a home one day" isn't going to work. You should be able to show significant progress with your career as well as any other areas of personal growth.
- She knows what she wants. An established woman knows what she wants. If your relationship begins to grow into something serious, you better know what you want, too. If she's ready for real commitment and you're taking too long to settle down, she'll extra point your butt out the door.
- She's set in her ways. Don't think you can come in and start running your young guy game on her. She's been through all that, and she'll be able to tell if you're being genuine or not. So if you decide to date an older woman, realize she's likely more experienced than you in the relationship category.
- It's the same with all of them. Relationships that is. If you want it to work, compromise and communication are definitely needed. She needs to know where you're coming from and vice versa. This never changes, no matter how old you get.
- Girls still want to have fun. Dating older women doesn't necessarily mean you'll be stuck in the house. She still wants to go out and experience life with you.
- Enjoy your boy toy status. She may be dating you because she wants to feel younger again. Who are you to deny her the experience? In order to successfully date this older woman, make her feel as if she's your age.
- Learn from her. If she's using you to feel young, there's nothing wrong with using her for her knowledge. She can give you a deeper understanding of the female psyche. You can also gain a great deal of sexual experience from her. Treat her like your own personal library, just in case it doesn't last. You'll be able to take this info to the next girl.
- A woman is a woman. While she may not get upset over the same trivial crap a younger girl may obsess over, it doesn't give you the green light to ignore her or neglect her feelings. Although you're dating older women, don't forget that they all need certain things to keep them happy in a relationship.
- Don't assume that she is innocent. If older women are more experienced in the game, it doesn't mean they are tired of playing it. As a matter of fact, they can be down right vicious. She could be playing you from point A, making you think you have some sort of control. In actuality, she's got you jumping through each and every one of her hoops. Sounds fun right?
Dating an older woman can be fascinating. It can be fulfilling. The question is, can you handle her?

About Michael Jackson's This Is It
Michael Jackson's THIS IS IT is a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the performer as he developed, created and rehearsed for his sold-out concerts at London's O2 Arena. Chronicling the months from April through June 2009, this film was produced with the full support of the Estate of Michael Jackson and drawn from more than one hundred hours of behind-the-scenes footage featuring Jackson rehearsing a number of his songs for the show. In raw and candid detail, Michael Jackson's THIS IS IT captures the singer, dancer, filmmaker, architect, creative genius and great artist at work as he creates and perfects his planned final London shows.
