Disney intern killed in hit-and-run; Reward offered
Mahmoud Arabi died in hospital Thursday
A local Muslim group is hoping a reward will lead to an arrest in the hit-and-run death of a Disney intern.
Mahmoud Arabi, of Australia, was struck in the crosswalk on International Drive at Vineland Avenue on Monday when walking with his friends to 7-Eleven.
A 7-Eleven employee called police and tried to help Arabi.
Arabi died Wednesday in the hospital.
The American Muslim Youth Leadership Council is now offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, and they're calling for help from Disney to increase the reward.
"I talked to him on FaceTime every single day for three hours," said Arabi's mother, Nehed Arabi.
Nehed Arabi is calling for the driver to come forward.
"The killer has to come forward. I need closure. I need peace. Anyone out there please, please tell the authorities," she said.
"This killer cannot walk the earth any longer. My son is under the ground."
Iman Abufarah Helmi Elagha, of the American Muslim Youth Leadership Council, said they want the driver behind bars before Arabi's body is shipped home Monday.
The suspect vehicle is described as a green Ford, possibly with a missing passenger-side mirror. Florida Highway Patrol collected a mirror from the scene.

The verdict is that Miles is between 24 and 27 months old. So- since a whole year of his life just flew by in a blink, I am just going to share a few things I love about my favorite now 2 year old...
*He is spirited.
*He has the most amazing smile and he flashes it often.
*He says the word shoe a hundred times a day and it is cute how he enunciates it every single time.
* I love that he is an adventurous eater. Despite that fact that I am not- he makes me feel like a good cook.
* He is crazy smart.
* For my husband, I love that Miles is athletic as all get out. The other two are the creative type, and I am glad that Kamron now has a kid who could throw a ball for hours.
* Miles can dance. Old School. It is very Sammy Davis, Jr. and super cute.
* Like me, Miles is not an animal lover. He and I can be non-animal together. Seriously- kittens scare the crud out of him. It is nice to have a kid who won't beg me to take in strays!
* He is very mechanical and curious about how things work.
* He is a water baby.
* He is friendly to everyone. He is the kid that waves at everyone from the grocery cart.
* His sad puppy dog eyes melt my heart every time I look at him.
* He's just darn cute and we are so lucky he is here.
Mmmm... powdered sugar donuts sure do make a boy happy!

Would the enticement of free downloadable content be enough to sway gamers into EA's fold?
If its "free" like the did with BF3 not likely. I mean look back at BF3... all the pre-ordered "limited edition" versions got Back to Karkland free and after that is was NOTHING on the DLC front for months. They need a much more consistent release plan for DLC... and here is an idea EA. Why not just release 1 map a month for say $3 instead of waiting for months and they trying to get us to pay $15 or buy your $50 a year Elite Clone? I would buy up a $3 map in a heart beat.
Why just EA??Every company should.
Treat you customers right and they will come back.Treat them wrong and you can watch them leave.
How many customers are going to turn their backs on DLC en-mass? I believe there are enough drones who don't care about paying for new content to keep the model rolling.

Jack Nicholson Gossip
Jack Nicholson gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Jack & George at the Oscars
Jason Merritt/ Kevin Winter/ ROBYN BECK/ Getty
This might be my favourite photo of all the photos taken last night. Look at him. Look at Jack Nicholson. When did he become your cuddly Uncle Oscar? And will this be George Clooney in 25 years? Remember, Jack was George and Leo and more when it was safer to be wild. Roman Polanski did what he did at Jack Nicholson's house. Full Story
Jack, Dustin, DDL, and the Campaign
ROBYN BECK/ Kevin Winter/ Getty
The Academy announced today that Jack Nicholson and Dustin Hoffman will present at the Oscars on Sunday. Some call Nicholson the unofficial mascot of the Oscars. And Hoffman, well, you don't need me to explain why he's a legend. Needless to say, then, given the gravitas of both actors, we should probably see them towards the end of the show. Full Story
Courtside premiere
The Lakers opened against the Clippers last night and as usual Staples Centre was full of stars including Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend all loved up courtside, a Posh-less Becks still growing that sh-t all over his face, Sacha Baron Cohen on a rare evening in front of cameras, and the ubiquitous Jack Nicholson, unofficial mascot for the Lakers and, some would argue (with the exception of last year), the Oscars. Full Story
They Don't Make 'Em…
Like they used to. There will be young gossips coming to this site today who'll take one look at the photos, note it's Jack Nicholson…and quickly move on. Ugh, they'll say. Who cares? And then it's back to The Hills, the Lauren Conrads, the Brody Jenners, the High School Musicals… the Laurens and the Zac Efrons and so many other tv twats and Hollywood skanks who can barely communicate thought into coherent, grammatically correct sentences and who almost never have anything interesting to say.

New dash cam video released in Interstate 75 crash
Video shows FHP sergeant's warning about reopening road
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – New dash camera video was released in the fatal Alachua County Interstate 75 pileup back, giving more details in what happened leading up to the accident-and even the accident itself.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement said a captain denied that anyone warned that keeping I-75 open was a bad idea. In the new video you hear a sergeant speaking angrily, complaining that no one listened to his warning.
"I tried to tell them to leave that son of a buck closed, and they wouldn't listen to me," Sgt. Bruce Simmons said in the video. "I said, 'It's going to roll in again. Leave it closed.' 'Oh, Lord, no, we're gonna open this up.' I was grabbing some breakfast, and I told the trooper, I said, 'Thirty, 45 minutes, you watch.'"
The road was closed around midnight and reopened a few hours later. Lt. John Gourley made the call to open the highway despite Simmons' warnings.
Local 6 showed the dashcam video to one of the survivors in the crash.
"Phew, haven't seen anything like that yet," said Jason Rentfrow of Gaineville. He said he was one of the 22 that were hurt in the pileup caused by low visibility from smoke from a smoldering brush fire burning near the highway.
Rentfrow said his attorney advised him not to comment on the video, but he told Local 6 he has been struggling since the accident. He said he's had to take off a semester of college and seek counseling.
An attorney for another injured driver said the road never should have reopened.
"It is disheartening what happened-and unnecessary," said attorney Christopher Chesnut. "I don't think that there was any willful or wantonness on individual officers. These people sacrifice their life every day to protect us citizens on Florida highways. I think that they were understaffed and overworked and there was a lack of communication and a tragedy occurred. "
Florida Highway Patrol is undergoing an internal investigation, according to an FHP spokesperson.

The CFA Ambassador Program will help exhibitors give a public face to the cat fancy and offers knowledge transfer from those of you who know to the interested public. You will see some of us wearing buttons that say " Ask Me." The buttons are to provide the public with a contact person. If we don't have the answer, we will get it. Our Handbook is a wonderful tool for talking about CFA and their positions on many cat related subjects. If you're exhibiting at a show and want to help the public learn about CFA and the pedigreed cat, understand how the rings work and what the cat show is about, etc., you may enroll in the CFA Ambassador Program to help. You will receive an identity button, a cage topper and a handbook so you can become totally familiar with answers to the most frequently asked questions at a cat show. The CFA Ambassador Program is a first-rate resource for those who are interested in helping people understand CFA.
For the past decade, we have had an active Ambassador Program in CFA which has included many enthusiastic Ambassadors at our shows around the world. Spectators attending our shows are cat lovers, but they are often confused by what they see at our shows. Our many volunteer Ambassadors help them understand what is going on and to enjoy themselves. They explain the judging process, what makes our 40+ breeds unique, the important role breeders play in persevering our breeds for the future, and generally making the public feel welcome.
Our Ambassadors are often the public face of CFA with the visitors to our shows. Our Ambassadors really do make a difference. Wearing a smile and an "Ask Me" sticker helps our visitors know you are someone who will take a few minutes to answer their questions and help them make sense of what's going on around them in the showhall. Most of you are busy exhibiting one or more cats yourself and we sincerely appreciate your efforts on behalf of the program. If you happen to bring along a Pet Me Cat or an Ambassador Cat, you added efforts are appreciated.
On behalf of CFA, let me thank you for participating in this very important program.

What to Know
- Chris Christie says Donald Trump's comments about women were indefensible, but he is still supporting him
- The governor made his first comments on the tape while co-hosting a sports radio show Tuesday
- Forty Republican senators and congressmen have revoked their support for Trump, with dozens calling for him to drop out
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he was "really disturbed" by the predatory comments Donald Trump made about women a decade ago, but he is still supporting the Republican nominee for president.
Christie had been mum on the matter since the video was released late last week, but broke his silence Tuesday as he co-hosted WFAN's "Boomer & Carton" sports radio show with Craig Carton.
"It's completely indefensible and I won't defend it and haven't defended it," Christie said. "That kind of talk and conversation even in private is just unacceptable."
U.S. & World
The Republican governor revealed he was with Trump when Trump found out about the video leak. Christie said he does not believe Trump's apology -- where the former reality television star referred to his past comments as "locker room banter" and said he was embarrassed by them -- was sufficient.
He acknowledged that the content of the video is "a little tough to explain" when you have kids and said it was not "immaterial" in deciding who to vote for, but that it should not be the only factor on Election Day.
"I'm really upset about what I heard but in the end this election is about bigger issues than that," Christie said. "I'm still supporting Donald. Obviously I was disappointed by what happened and disappointed in some respects by the response initially but I am still supporting him."
The issue of the video took center stage at Sunday's presidential debate, dominating social media discussion and overshadowing concerns about domestic policy and foreign relations.
Meanwhile, a reeling Republican party is struggling to deal with the backlash. Forty Republican senators and congressmen have revoked their support for Trump — with nearly 30 of them calling on him to quit the race altogether in recent days. Few were passionate Trump supporters to begin with, the last straw being the video in which the candidate denigrated women.
House Speaker Paul Ryan told fellow lawmakers on Monday he would not campaign for or defend the floundering businessman in the election's closing weeks. But the head of the Republican National Committee declared he was in full coordination with the embattled presidential nominee — opposing positions that highlight a political party increasingly battling itself as Election Day approaches.

Public Choice Theory informs us that Obamacare is a bad idea
In a nutshell here is what PCT is all about;it is based on certain views concerning human nature namely:
1)Humans tend to respond to incentives.2)Humans frequently tend to act in what they believe to be in their own best interests.3)Humans have definite cognitive limitations.
PCT does not claim that people always act on the basis of some cost benefit analysis nor that sometimes folks do not act in ways that seem to be altruistic.
These aspects of human nature apply to businessmen,butchers,bakers and con men but they also apply to elected public officials,politicians,and bureaucrats.Accordingly this second group will from time to time act- most of time probably- in their own interests and not in some effort to bring about some abstract public good and that politicians just might respond to the incentives of campaign contribution in return for sponsoring some legislative act that benefits some special interest group at the expense of the public at large.
There are two others aspects of PCT worth briefly mentioning.
PCT explains that although private and public actors both respond to incentives (and constraints) the set of incentives and constraints are not the same for the two groups.Secondly, for the PCT analyst the unit of analysis is the individual- not society or the group or the community. Society does not make decisions,individuals do -realizing necessarily that the individual does not make decisions in a vacuum.
James Buchanan and Gordon Tullock are credited with the explication and promulgation of PCT but were not the first nor alone alone in their efforts .From one point of view, their work restored and re-invigorated views that were part of the common wisdom and discourse of the English speaking inhabitants of the British colonies in the later part of the 18 Th century. For much of the twentieth century journalists,historians and high school civic texts as well as college courses treated governmental action and public officials actions as not being self interested and assumed those acts were done in the public interest and typically carrying out the voters' will. Buchanan and Tullock said lets rethink those assumptions. As Buchanan said it is about politics without romance. Political actors acting in their individual self interest replace the wishful thinking which envisioned benevolent,wise selfless officials carrying out whatever society wanted which they were able to discern with near omnipotent wisdom.
The Founding Fathers realized the dark side of human nature and were very aware of the risks involved with investing power with the government.The government needed enough power to protect individual rights but the power could be used to restrict liberty as well. The Madisonian project was to devise a system of government that could constrain the power of the government that it needed to have to protect individual liberty.
Obamacare from the PCT perspective is a bad idea in part because it invests governmental entities with too much power.Further the power is concentrated in a few governmental entities and in regard to their edicts there are few if any avenues of appeal.Think HHS Secretary,IPAB,the IRS and the US Preventive Services Task Force.
The power given to the Secretary of HHS is a prime example.The absurd number of times the statute says "The Secretary [of HHS] shall determine" illustrates the concentration of power in a single politically appointed governmental official and is a dangerous transfer of power from the legislative to the administrative. The corrupt political ends to which a number of those decisions, i.e exempting friends of the administration from certain aspects of the law, serve to illustrate illustrate Acton's axiom of " power corrupts".
And then here is the matter of the IRS.Politicians feign shock and horror regarding the revelation of IRS acting in an illegal and politically motivated way and will hold hearings to investigate. The same thing has happened with previous administrations, both democrat and republican. Does anyone really believe that giving the IRS a major role in the administration of Obamacare is a good idea?

I am so glad that the private sector doesn't suffer from bouts of "too much power" and avarice, which appear to be traits that you so assuredly assume are the a sole proprietorship of the federal government. The ACA is far from perfect but if the Republicans would get their act together, they could approach the concept of fixing the ACA and keeping the beneficial aspects ("The ACA has some important fixes to America's healthcare problems; however, we intend propose significant improvements..."). Instead, they waste time attempting to throw out the baby with the bath water.

Neither Public Choice Theory nor I assume that power and avarice are solely found in the federal government. Self interest is part of human nature and avarice is found in all walks of life and entering into the political arena does not involve a person become transformed into a selfless creature dedicated to the public good.This applies equally to Democrats and Republicans. The point is that the more power that is accreted to government (local,state or federal)the more efforts will be made by the equally selfish (or self interested)private sector to channel some of that power to their particular self interest.Public choice theory speaks to the important and ever increasing collaboration (cahoots is more accurate term) between private interest and various governmental or political entities to channel benefits to the politically connected private interests while diffusing the cost to the tax payers.The forces of the "iron triangle" (politicians,bureaucrats and special interests groups)that created this poster child of crony capitalism may well be the same ones that make a meaningful fix of ACA improbable.

IT achievements and innovators throughout the state are honored in the annual Best of California awards program.
California's IT community gathered Wednesday, August 21, at the annual GTC West conference in Sacramento to recognize the people and projects that are successfully leading the state into the future.
Co-sponsored by Government Technology and the Center for Digital Government, the Best of California awards program honored more than a dozen programs and applications in state and local government, along with nearly 50 state workers from a variety of agencies.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles testing system, a child support e-records system in San Diego County, California's GeoPortal for geospatial information, and the state prisons' offender management system were among the projects that were awarded for excellence.
"This year the Best of California award winners really focused on the fundamental business of government: public safety, health and human services and streamlining regulation. They showed us that they are using technology to make complicated processes faster, easier and cheaper, and that improves things for both employees and citizens," said Todd Sander, executive director of the Center for Digital Government.
Two officials who manage some of the state's biggest computer systems were recognized for outstanding achievements. Chris Cruz, deputy director and CIO of the California Department of Health Care Services, was recognized for Demonstrated Leadership in Management of Information Technology. Linda Fredericksen, field operations division chief for the Disability Insurance Branch of the California Employment Development Department, was recognized with the Demonstrated Excellence in Project Management award.
Since joining the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) in his current role two and a half years ago, Cruz has consolidated IT programs during the Governor's Reorganization Plan that merged and transitioned the Department of Mental Health, the Alcohol and Drug Program, the California Medical Advisory Commission, and the Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board Healthy Families Program to DHCS. Under his leadership, the head count in his organization has increased from 176 staff to 547 state and contract employees.
"This has been a position about change leadership, quite frankly, and change management," Cruz said, from both a system and people perspective.
There is constant change afoot with the federal Affordable Care Act; the department is involved in the development of electronic health records and the state's health benefits exchange, and continues to run the Medi-Cal eleigibility system and provide data center and networking services to 10,000 internal staff.
Under Cruz's leadership, DHCS also has produced an IT strategy document and enterprise architecture, developed the California Health Care Quality Report Card application, and implemented a system to track the department's $1 billion IT portfolio.
"This is probably one of the busiest organizations I have ever worked for," said Cruz, who has worked for the state for more than a decade, with stops at the California Department of Public Health and the agriculture department.
Cruz said his job at DHCS has been to set clear expectations upfront, articulate a vision and strategy for the state's health-care IT, build collaboration and consensus across business lines, and steer the largest state-run health organization in the country.
He's also working to improve staff retention, Cruz said. He has enacted a robust teleworking policy, which is supported by the department's increasing usage of virtual desktop infrastructure along with several training opportunities.
"I try to ensure my army is well equipped, well rested, and has what it needs to be successful," Cruz said.
The other award winner, Linda Fredericksen (pictured at left), has played a major role during her 37-year career with the Employment Development Department in moving the department off of green screens in favor of an automated, online system called SDI Online for state disability insurance processing. She has been the project manager on the $160 million project since it began in 2006. At times, 300 employees were involved.
For many years, the disability insurance side of the EDD was still keying in claims to an old mainframe system, so Fredericksen and her team had to prepare for major change management. She said there were 11 separate threads of design requirements going on simultaneously, and they had to ensure that each element wasn't infringing on the others.
It was a big challenge, but the new self-service system is paying off. A percentage of claims are now handled automatically by a business rules engine, without any human intervention. Claimants, medical providers and employers can now set up accounts and submit claim information online. Under Fredericksen's leadership, SDI Online was delivered on time and within budget.
Fredericksen said she enjoys that's there's a new challenge every day at the Disability Insurance Branch.
"I think the biggest thing I've learned about managing an organization is that you have to listen to your staff," she said. "You have to respond to issues when they come up; you can't let things lie and hope they go away."
Best Application Serving an Agency's Business Needs
San Diego Child Support Legal Paperless System, County of San Diego, Department of Child Support Services
The San Diego Department of Child Support Services developed the Legal Paperless System (LPS) to eliminate the need for paper litigation files used by child support attorneys in daily court hearings. A critical component of LPS was the application's seamless integration of multiple disparate multi-agency systems that have led to improved efficiencies in the court calendar process and resulted in annual savings of more than $330,000.
Strategic Offender Management System (SOMS), California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
The Strategic Offender Management System (SOMS) is an electronic system composed of an integrated central offender database, a Web-based management application, and a comprehensive document management system. SOMS improves staff and inmate safety with secure access to accurate and complete information, and increases staff efficiency, effectiveness and accuracy by providing access to real-time information in a single database. For example, inmate "count" verification time has decreased from two hours to two minutes. SOMS also enables data sharing with other law enforcement and judicial agencies. Savings are estimated at $4 million annually.
Best Application Serving the Public
Visitor Processing Appointment Scheduling System (VPASS), California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
The Visitor Processing Appointment Scheduling System (VPASS) is a bilingual, public-facing Internet system for inmate families, friends, and attorneys to make online appointments to visit inmates. Staff manage and monitor the reservations through a Web-based application accessible from any department-networked workstation. VPASS provides the public with the visiting status of each institution, provides email notification of any changes, and has helped many long-distance families plan their visits.
Automated Multiple Choice Knowledge Testing System, California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
The Automated Multiple Choice Knowledge Testing System allows customers to take their Driver's License knowledge tests on touchscreen computer terminals. After getting their Driver's License application or renewal receipt, customers scan the receipt bar code into the testing computer, answer identity-validation questions, then access tests for which they are eligible. The computer terminals, integrated with DMV's backend system, immediately update applicant scores. Currently the system is available in the Stockton field offices with plans to expand to all 172 DMV field offices, replacing 8.9 million paper tests annually.
California Online Voter Registration (COVR), Secretary of State
Secretary of State Debra Bowen launched online voter registration last September. Secretary Bowen secured federal funding for the project so there was minimal cost to California taxpayers. Her staff built a secure pipeline between the Secretary of State, the Department of Motor Vehicles and each of the 58 county elections offices -- establishing security procedures and policies that protect applicants' privacy. More than 883,000 Californians have used the online system to register for the first time or update their voter record. The system saved more than $2.5 million.
Best IT Collaboration Among Organizations
Financial Institution Record Match Project – FIRM, California FTB, BOE and EDD
California's state government tax agencies – the Franchise Tax Board (FTB), the Board of Equalization (BOE) and the Employment Development Department (EDD) are working together with California financial institutions to more efficiently collect the state's delinquent tax dollars. The tax agencies collaborated extensively and established a joint master record file of delinquent tax and non-tax debt account information (such as delinquent DMV fees) rather than the previous three separate accounts. The more efficient process has generated 200 percent more revenue than targeted ($90 million) for the state.
Response Information Management System (RIMS) Replacement System, California Governor's Office of Emergency Services
In collaboration with more than 50 local government, state, tribal, federal and private resources throughout California, the Response Information Management System (RIMS) was replaced and upgraded, facilitating interoperability among emergency response personnel. Disparate users can communicate, upload and share data in real time across jurisdictions during an emergency event. The system is Web- and mobile-enabled for field use. During an event, the system collects data that creates a common operational picture -- providing a snapshot view of the event resulting in quicker response times. In addition, the new cybersecurity component provides the state with the ability to monitor cyberattacks and track trends.
Best In-House Developed Application
State of California GeoPortal, California Department of Technology
The California GeoPortal is an interactive gateway that transforms access to California's geospatial information and to thousands of geographic data sources around the country. Easy to use, secure and customizable, the California GeoPortal is a Web-based, interactive catalog of geographic information providing access for businesses, citizens and government. The GeoPortal was developed in-house with existing resources, is available to state agencies and local departments and provides a robust set of management tools at no cost, saving the state nearly $1 million annually.
Web-based Known Person Finder (WebKPF), Sacramento County Sheriff's Department
Developed in-house, the Web-based Known Person Finder, WebKPF, is an application used by thousands of law enforcement officers in the Sacramento region to search photos of a subject and determine whether they are on probation, parole or a wanted list. In addition, field officers can now rapidly follow leads. Virtually all law enforcement agencies in the region, including the FBI, DEA and U.S. Marshalls Office now rely on WebKPF. According to Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) statistics, the crime rate in Sacramento County has dropped by 25 percent since its deployment.
Best Mobile/Wireless Project
Ask Elk Grove, Mobile Application and CRM, City of Elk Grove
Ask Elk Grove is a mobile application and CRM solution that features many innovations including the unique widget system that allows staff to create apps within the app. On one app, citizens can: submit and track service requests, such as graffiti and illegal dumping; upload images from mobile phones; find out about public meetings and community events; and view and track other requests in the neighborhood. Citizen engagement management tools allow viewing of issues and feedback by geographic boundaries and a single customizable platform of city information can be built from data flows. Reports and map-drawing tools provide a citywide view and trend-monitoring.
California Health Care Report Card, California Department of Health Care Services
The California Health Care Quality Report Card mobile app was developed by the Department of Health Care Services for the Office of the Patient Advocate. It provides quality ratings on more than 200 of the largest medical groups, HMOs and PPOs in California. The app shows patients' ratings of health plans on important issues like doctor communication, scheduling appointments, and customer service. In addition, contact information for complaint filing and consumer assistance information for the plan or medical group is included.
San Diego County SD Emergency Mobile App, County of San Diego Public Safety Group
The San Diego County Office of Emergency Services created the SD Emergency Mobile App, which allows a smartphone or tablet to access information to help users prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters. During a fire or other event, users are notified of official county updates, emergency maps, shelter locations, CAL FIRE, county and city social media, and even volunteer opportunities. The "Ready" section of the app includes information by disaster type, interactive checklists to prepare an emergency 72-hour kit, and templates to devise and save a family disaster plan. The free app can be downloaded at SDCountyEmergency.com, or in the Apple App and Google Play stores.
The Green IT Award
STAR - Incentivizing Excellence in Smog Check Inspections, Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency
In January, the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) initiated the STAR Smog Check Program for stations that inspect and certify grossly polluting vehicles. These stations must meet specific performance standards relative to calculations from data collected at the time of each smog inspection. Results from the calculations are made available on a public-facing website, giving station owners a management tool that not only tracks their station's performance but also the performance of individual technicians. Initial results indicate that the quality of inspections performed has improved significantly – expected smog check failure rates have increased and incidents of improper smog check inspections are down – ultimately providing cleaner air for Californians.

Travel and health warnings have gone out as temperatures are predicted to hit 35C (95F) today (Wednesday), making a level 3 heatwave alert likely.
Asthma and hay fever sufferers are being warned as Met Office are forecasting a high or very-high pollen count over the coming days, with possible thunderstorms in the Midlands, southern Scotland, and northern England and Wales.
The level 3 alert - one below a national emergency - is triggered when the Met Office confirms a 90% chance of heatwave conditions.
When the alert is issued, social and healthcare services must mobilise community and voluntary support for high-risk groups and media alerts about keeping cool are issued.
Professor Paul Cosford, director for health protection and medical director at Public Health England (PHE) said: "Local authorities and the NHS should now be familiar with PHE's Heatwave Plan, which aims to reduce health risks related to heat. Those looking after schoolchildren or pre-schoolers during the hot spell should ensure they've read the guidance in the plan, which includes specific advice on how to keep children safe on very hot days.
"While hot weather is enjoyable for most people and uncomfortable for some, sadly experience tells us that exposure to excessive heat can kill, with most cases of illness and death caused by heart and lung disease. Because we are not used to these very hot temperatures in England, it's important that local plans are in place to reduce the impact of harm from very hot weather."
Dr Angie Bone, head of extreme events at PHE, said the heat could be dangerous for older people, young children and those with serious illnesses, and urged employers to be flexible.
She said: "During very hot weather, pregnant women and people who have chronic illnesses, including cardiovascular, respiratory, renal conditions, diabetes or Parkinson's disease, may experience discomfort if indoor temperatures are particularly hot and in using public transport.
"Employers should ensure indoor areas are kept cool and consider allowing these individuals to travel to or from their place of work during cooler, or less busy times of the day. For those working or exercising outdoors, strenuous physical exertion during the hottest part of the day should be kept to a minimum."
The heatwave is being caused by a warm front and tropical continental air mass from Europe pushing across the country, bringing high temperatures, humidity and possibly Saharan sand.
Vicky Barber from the British Lung Foundation Helpline said: "During hot weather, the air we breathe has lower moisture levels than usual, which can have a drying effect on our airways. As a result, people with respiratory conditions such as COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) or severe asthma may find it harder to breathe, feel more tired, or find their lungs feeling heavy or tight."
She recommended that people with lung conditions avoid going outside at midday, wear loose clothing and drink plenty of water.

Here are four diverse recipes for delicious chilled soups, perfect for summertime entertaining.
Thai Green Pea Soup
Green curry sauce gives a spicy lift to this soup and the arugula balances the sweetness of the peas. A blender works best because it breaks down the pea skins, making a smooth puree.
30 ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil
125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped onions
5 ml (1 tsp) chopped ginger
125 ml (1/2 cup) diced Yukon gold potatoes
7 ml (1 1/2 tsp) Thai green curry paste
1 l (4 cups) chicken stock
750 ml (3 cups) fresh or frozen peas
250 ml (1 cup) arugula
75 ml (1/3 cup) whipping cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Mint, for garnish
In a pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and saute for 2 minutes or until softened. Add ginger and potatoes and saute for another 2 minutes or until potatoes are coated with oil. Add green curry paste and stir together.
Add chicken stock, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes or until potatoes are softened. Add peas and arugula and cook until peas are softened, about 3 minutes. Add cream and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat, puree in batches in a blender and season with salt and pepper. Chill.
Serve in chilled mugs, garnished with mint.
Makes 6 servings.

Chilled Cucumber Avocado Soup
This soup is perfect for a hot summer day and the avocado gives it a wonderful creaminess. It requires no cooking and is vegetarian and gluten-free.
2 ripe avocados, peeled and cut in large chunks
1 small cucumber, cut in large chunks, reserving some thin slices for garnish
1 clove garlic
250 ml (1 cup) plain yogurt or coconut milk yogurt for a dairy-free option (approx)
50 ml (1/4 cup) fresh dill
50 ml (1/4 cup) cilantro
Juice of 2 limes
Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a creamier texture, add more yogurt. Chill for 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with cucumber slices.
Makes 3 or 4 servings.

Summer Lovin' Gazpacho
Gazpacho is a classic chilled soup, and although many variations have been developed, traditional Spanish gazpacho is made with tomatoes. This "raw" soup is vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free.
5 or 6 ripe tomatoes, cut in chunks, or 1 can (796 ml/28 oz) whole tomatoes
1 sweet red pepper, cut in chunks
1/2 red onion
1/2 English cucumber, cut in chunks
2 cloves garlic
125 ml (1/2 cup) cilantro
50 ml (1/4 cup) fresh basil
50 ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
Parsley leaves, for garnish
50 ml (1/4 cup) finely chopped cucumber and red pepper, for garnish
Place all ingredients except garnishes in a blender or food processor. Process to your desired consistency (a few soft chunks are nice). Refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
Serve chilled with a garnish of parsley and a touch of finely chopped cucumber and red pepper.
Makes 4 servings.

Cardamom Parsnip Pear Soup
Vegetable and fruit combine in this delicious soup and the garnish of hemp seeds adds a splash of protein. This soup can be served cold or hot. It is vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free.
2 or 3 medium parsnips, peeled if not organic, cut in chunks
2 Bosc pears, peeled if not organic, cored and cut in chunks
750 ml to 1 l (3 to 4 cups) almond milk or water
5 to 10 ml (1 to 2 tsp) ground cardamom
Lots of freshly cracked black pepper and a pinch of sea salt, to taste
175 ml (3/4 cup) hemp seeds, for garnish
Heat oven to 180 C (350 F).
Place parsnips in a covered baking dish with 1 cm (1/2 inch) of water. Do the same in a separate dish with the pears. Bake, covered, until parsnips and pears are fork-tender. The pears will take about 35 minutes and the parsnips may take up to 1 hour.
Transfer pears, parsnips and any liquid from dish to a food processor or blender. Add almond milk and cardamom. Process until smooth. (Or transfer to a large saucepan and blend with an immersion blender.)
Transfer to a large saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Remove from heat. Season with pepper and salt and chill for at least 2 hours. Garnish with hemp seeds.
Quick Method: If you are crunched for time and have a super-high-powered blender, place all ingredients except salt, pepper and hemp seeds in blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a large saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with pepper and salt. Chill for at least 2 hours if you want cold soup or garnish with hemp seeds and serve immediately if you want hot soup.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Working together with one of its small Atlanta-based business customers – Water Transit Solutions – AT&T has contributed $100,000 to the National Organization for the Advancement of Haitians (NOAH) earthquake relief effort.
This effort helps bring sustainable, clean water supplies to victims of natural disasters (i.e. earthquakes) in Haiti. WTS will deploy water tanks and delivery trucks to various locations throughout Haiti. Each truck can hold up to 1,250 gallons of water, providing an estimated 2,500 people with clean drinking water each day. Utilizing AT&T's innovative M2M technology, which communicates real-time data back to a control center, NOAH is able to monitor water volume and water quality, allowing for the continual tracking of water and ice requirements, thus optimizing delivery to those in need. Working together, these three organizations are making a difference along with many water charities around the world.
(It looks like all those iPhone purchases are paying off. Want to donate money to earthquake victims in Haiti? I'm sure there's an app for that.).

Call it an educated guess from a guy who almost got blown to the Land of Oz while walking through the Coors Field parking lot, but things could get interesting tonight in LoDo.
Windy? Did you say windy? It's more than windy in Denver today.
"Try to hit it to right field today," Rockies hitting coach Don Baylor said as he sat in the dugout before the game. "Get 'em up in the air."
It sounded good at that moment, but within minutes the strong wind that was blowing out to right had changed directions. So how's it going to play out tonight? Suffice it so say it's as strong a wind as you're going to see at Coors Field.
Something wind-related is bound to happen. A fly ball or two that have no business going into the seats doing just that. Or a fly ball or two that ought to be five rows back in the bleachers dying on the warning track.
"Wind is definitely a factor in a baseball game, believe me," said Rockies manager Jim Tracy. "Especially every time the ball gets popped up in the air. It can get real, real interesting as to who's going to catch the darn thing. So, yeah, that's a factor, very definitely. Just ask anybody who's ever played at Wrigley (Field)."
A few injury updates from Tracy:
Jeff Francis played light catch today and was pain free, but no timetable has been set for his return. Meanwhile, at extended spring training in Tucson, Taylor Buchholz and Greg Reynolds will throw live batting practice Wednesday, and Huston Street will play catch Thursday for the first time in almost two weeks. Then there's catcher Paul LoDuca. He has been doing some catching in Tucson, but his strained right shoulder "is still an issue," said Tracy.

DECATUR, Texas A paroled Colorado inmate who may be linked to the slaying of the states prison chief led Texas deputies on a 100 mph car chase that ended Thursday with a crash into a semi and then opened fire before being shot by his pursuers.
Evan Spencer Ebel, 28, was driving a Cadillac in Texas that matched the description of the vehicle seen leaving the neighborhood where prisons chief Tom Clements was shot. Ebel was hooked up to equipment for organharvesting, and authorities say he is not expected to survive.
Colorado investigators immediately headed to Texas to determine whether Ebel was linked to Clements slaying and the killing Sunday of Nathan Leon, a Denver pizza delivery man. Police in Colorado would say only that the connection is strong but would not elaborate or say if they believe Ebel killed Clements and Leon.
The Denver Post first reported Ebels name, and a federal law-enforcement official confirmed his identity to The Associated Press. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the case and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.
The killing of Clements, 58, shocked his quiet neighborhood in Monument, a town of rolling hills north of Colorado Springs, for its brutality: He answered the door of his home Tuesday evening and was gunned down. Authorities wouldnt say if they thought the attack was related to his job, and all Clements recent public activities and cases were scrutinized.
The Texas car chase started when a sheriffs deputy in Montague County, James Boyd, tried to pull over the Cadillac around 11 a.m. Thursday, authorities there said. They wouldnt say exactly why he was stopped but called it routine.
The driver opened fire on Boyd, wounding him, Wise County Sheriff David Walker said at an afternoon news conference in Decatur. He then fled south before crashing into a semi as he tried to elude his pursuers.
After the crash, he got out of the vehicle, shooting at deputies and troopers who had joined the chase. He shot at Decatur Police Chief Rex Hoskins four times as the chief tried to set up a roadblock.
He wasnt planning on being taken alive, Hoskins said.
Boyd, the deputy who was shot, was wearing a bulletproof vest and was at a Fort Worth hospital, authorities said. Officials had said he wasnt seriously injured but later said his condition was unknown.
The car so far is the main link authorities have given between the Colorado case and the Texas shootout. El Paso County sheriffs investigators have been looking for a dark, late-model car, possibly a Lincoln or a Cadillac, that a neighbor spotted near Clements home around the time of the shooting.
We dont know yet exactly whether this is the guy, Gov. John Hickenlooper told reporters Thursday afternoon. Theres some indication. I hope it is.
El Paso County sheriffs officials did not return repeated messages Thursday. In a statement, Lt. Jeff Kramer said investigators will inspect evidence in Texas and would need crime lab analysis before theyre able to determine whether the suspect is linked to Clements shooting.
These efforts take time, Kramer said.
Other links between Ebel and the Colorado killings arent clear. Legal records show he was convicted of several crimes in Colorado dating back to 2003, including assaulting a prison guard in 2008. He apparently was paroled, but Colorado Department of Corrections spokeswoman Alison Morgan said she could not release information about prisoners because of the ongoing investigation into Clements death.

Leaders in Brazil's two biggest cities on Wednesday said that they reversed an increase in bus and subway fares that ignited anti-government protests that have spread across the nation in the past week.
Many people doubted the move would quiet the demonstrations, which have moved well beyond outrage over the fare hikes into communal cries against poor public services in Latin America's biggest nation.
"It's not really about the price anymore," said Camila Sena, an 18-year-old university student at a protest in Rio de Janeiro's sister city of Niteroi.
"People are so disgusted with the system, so fed up that now we're demanding change," she said.
Sena added that seeing money poured into soccer stadiums for the current Confederations Cup and next year's World Cup only added fuel to the people's anger.
"It's not that we're against the World Cup, not at all. It will bring good things for Brazil. It's just that we're against the corruption that the World Cup has become an excuse for," she said.
At a press conference in Sao Paulo to announce the reversal of the public transport fare hike, Sao Paulo Mayor Fernando Haddad said it "will represent a big sacrifice and we will have to reduce investments in other areas."
He did not give details on where other cuts would occur.
Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Paes also confirmed that the fare increase would be rescinded in that city.
Scattered street demonstrations continued in some parts of Brazil, including Niteroi, as protesters demand improvements of the public services they receive in exchange for high taxes and rising prices.
Small groups of protesters clashed with police in Niteroi late on Wednesday, while demonstrators staged a large march in the capital of Brasilia that included a new demand that the government provide free transit services.
Earlier in the day, about 200 people blocked the Anchieta Highway that links Sao Paulo, the country's biggest city, and the port of Santos before heading to the industrial suburb of Sao Bernardo do Campo on Sao Paulo's outskirts.
Another group of protesters later again obstructed the highway.
In the northeastern city of Fortaleza, 15,000 protesters clashed with police trying to prevent them from reaching the Castelao Stadium before Brazil's game with Mexico in the Confederations Cup soccer tournament.
Riot police used gas bombs and pepper spray to keep protesters from advancing past a barrier about 3km from the stadium. A police car was burned by demonstrators, who also threw rocks and other objects at officers.
The protest disrupted fans' efforts to get in the stadium for Brazil's second match at the World Cup warm-up tournament.
"We are against a government that spends billions on stadiums while people are suffering across the country," said Natalia Querino, a 22-year-old student participating in the protest.
"We want better education, more security and a better health system," she added.
Earlier, hundreds of protesters cut off the main access road to the stadium, and police responded by diverting traffic away from the road. Official vehicles of the international soccer organization, FIFA, were among those struggling to reach the stadium.
Protest organizers, who have widely employed social media, called for mass demonstrations yesterday in Sao Paulo and Rio.
The Rio action promised the most volatility, with protesters planning to march to Maracana Stadium where Spain and Tahiti were to play a Confederations Cup match.

Nearly a fifth of homeowners with a spare room would consider providing short-term accommodation for a refugee, research by a leading online estate agent suggests.
Insight agency Opinion Matters, commissioned by eMoov.co.uk, found that 17 per cent of the 1,000 people it surveyed would consider housing a refugee.
The survey asked: 'If you have a spare room in your property, would you consider allowing refugees to use it for a small time period?'
The results showed that of those homeowners who have a spare room, 14 per cent would accommodate a refugee for between one and three months, two per cent under a month and one per cent for a period of over three months.
Founder and chief executive of eMoov.co.uk, Russell Quirk, said: "Those that receive refugee status in the UK will be provided with somewhere to stay. However, it is estimated some 200,000 additional asylum seekers are still living destitute in the UK.
"The British public have a great tendency to club together in times of need and the sentiment of our research highlights this.
"Although it isn't as straight forward as taking in half-a-million refugees and housing them in spare rooms, it is humbling to see how many home owners would consider opening their doors to complete strangers out of the kindness of their hearts."
The growing refugee crisis, which is a huge political issue in Europe, has seen Prime Minister David Cameron come under pressure to act, and for Britain to do their part to accommodate a proportion of the refugees fleeing their war torn countries.
Although this latest research may only highlight a temporary solution to housing those refugees entering the country, a long term solution is still required across Europe.
