David Beckham has threatened to sue tabloid In Touch for publishing claims he cheated on wife Victoria with a $10,000-a-night hooker.
After the tabloid's cover story quoted a self-described former escort's 2007 affair claim with the English soccer star, Beckham's rep called the allegations "completely untrue and totally ridiculous, as the magazine was clearly told before publication."
"Sadly we live in a world where a magazine can print lies and believe they can get away with it," Beckham's rep told Usmagazine.com. "We are taking legal action against the magazine."
U.S. & World
Beckham, 35, and Victoria, the 36-year-old former Spice Girl, have been married 11 years, according to Us.
The pair has three sons, Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 5.

This section provides an overviews of the 5800 system, the 5800 system history, and a summaries of the key points of the 5800 system usage model.
The following topics are discussed:
The 5800 system is an object-based storage archive appliance for fixed-content data and metadata. The 5800 system is designed from the ground up to be reliable, affordable, and scalable, and to integrate data storage with intelligent data retrieval. It is designed to store huge amounts of data for decades at a time. At that scale, issues of how and where the data is stored — and how that changes over time — can be quite cumbersome. The 5800 system usage model is designed to manage those issues for you, so that your application can deal with just the data.
A custom Application Programming Interface (the 5800 Client API) is provided so that your applications can take advantage of all the features in the 5800 system usage model. The API provides the following capabilities:
Store a new object into the archive (storeObject)
Associate a new metadata record with stored object data (storeMetadata)
Retrieve the data from an object that was previously stored (retrieveData)
Retrieve the metadata from an object that was previously stored (retrieveMetadata)
Delete an object (delete)
Query for matching objects given a query expression of specific object characteristics (query)
The 5800 system API Release 1.1 provides two APIs:
The Java API is described in Chapter 2, Sun StorageTek 5800 System Java Client API
The C API is described in Chapter 3, Sun StorageTek 5800 System C Client API
This chapter provides a summary of key points of the 5800 system usage model that are useful for understanding either API.
In the following sections, the terms from the Java API are used as an aid to exposition. In all cases, a simple equivalent using the C API is available.
Chapter 4, Sun StorageTek 5800 System Query Language provides a detailed description of query capabilties and query syntax.
Chapter 5, Programming Considerations and Best Practices provides programming considerations and best practices that can help you create efficient 5800 system applications.
The original code name for the project that grew into the 5800 system was Project Honeycomb. The Honeycomb name lives on as the name of an Open Solaris community that is bringing the Honeycomb software stack into the world of Open Source. The first realization of the Honeycomb storage model as a real product is the 5800 system as described in this guide and related guides.
As a model for programmable storage systems, however, the Honeycomb API has a much broader reach than just the 5800 system. The programming model is designed to scale both up and down to any storage archive system that needs to abstract and separate the issues of how data is stored from how it is used. In recognition of both the past and the future, the string "honeycomb" and the initials "hc" still live on in certain aspects of the API described in this guide. When the 5800 system API is used in contexts outside of the 5800 system, the API is referred to as the Project Honeycomb API.
The 5800 system stores two types of data: arbitrary object data and structured metadata records. Every metadata record is associated with exactly one data object. Every data object has at least one metadata record. A unique object identifier (OID) is returned when a metadata record is stored. This OID can later be used to retrieve the metadata record or its data object. In addition, metadata records can be retrieved by a query:
OID ↔ Metadata Record -> Underlying Object Data
There are two types of metadata, system metadata and user metadata. You cannot override the names and types of system metadata.
Each object in the 5800 system archive consists of some arbitrary bytes of data together with associated metadata that describes the data. Once an object is stored, it is immutable. The 5800 system programming model does not allow the data or the metadata associated with an object to be changed once the object has been stored, in other words the system is a Write-Once Read-Multiple (WORM) archive. Each object corresponds to a single stream of data and a single set of metadata; there are no "grouped objects" or "compound objects" other than by application convention.
Each object corresponds to a single stream of data and a single set of metadata. There are no "grouped objects" or "compound objects" other than by application convention. Similarly, there are no "links" or "associations" from one object to another. The customer application is shielded from all details of how or where the object is stored. Internally, the actual location of an object might change over time, or several objects might even share the same underlying storage. The customer application can retrieve the object without knowing these details.
A stream of data is stored in the object archive using storeObject. Once stored, each such object is associated with an object identifier or objectid (OID). The storeObject operation takes both a stream of data and an optional set of user metadata information and returns an OID. The OID can be remembered outside of the 5800 system and may later be used to retrieve the data associated with that object using the retrieveObject operation.
Every object has metadata whether or not user metadata was supplied at the time of the store. For example each object has system metadata that is system assigned and can never be modified by the user. The OID is associated with the metadata record that represents this object as a whole; the metadata record is then associated with the underlying data:
OID ↔ Metadata Record -> Underlying Object Data
The retrieveObject operation takes an OID as input and returns a stream of bytes as output that are identical to the bytes stored during the storeObject operation. Both the storeObject and retrieveObject operations handle the data in a streaming manner. Not all of the data need be present in client memory or in server memory at the same time, which is a crucial point for working with large objects.
For the 5800 system Release 1.1, data sizes up to 400 GBytes are tested and supported. Using sizes even smaller than this may be appropriate as a best practice. For more information, see Chapter 5, Programming Considerations and Best Practices.
From within a customer application, the storing of an object into the archive is an all-or-nothing event. Either the object is stored or it is not; there are no partial stores. If a store operation is interrupted, the entire storeObject call fails. Once an OID is returned to the customer application, the object is known to be durable. In the event of an outage that causes some data loss, the system should be no more likely to lose a newly stored object than any other object. There is no way to tie together two different store operations so that both either succeed together or fail together.
A stored object may or may not immediately be queryable. For more information, see The 5800 System Query Integrity Model.
Metadata means "data about the data"; it describes the data and helps to determine how the data should be interpreted. In addition, metadata can be used to facilitate querying the 5800 system for objects that match a particular set of search criteria.
For the 5800 system, the supported metadata option is in the form of name-value fields stored with each object. The set of possible fields is defined in the metadata schema. Setting up a metadata schema is an important system administration task that is described in the 5800 System Administration Guide, and is analogous to the process of database design that goes into creating a data management application. The metadata schema determines what field names, types, and lengths may be used with the metadata stored with each object. In addition, the layout of fields into tables within the schema, together with the definition of views that speed certain searches, determine which kinds of queries about that metadata will be both possible and effective. As such, the metadata schema should match the characteristics of the expected range of applications that will deal with the stored data. The underlying software is designed to support multiple different kinds of metadata to aid in searching. For example, eventually there might be a specialized index to facilitate full-text search within the data objects. This document describes only the API for dealing with the name-value metadata type.
Fields in the schema can be either queryable or non-queryable. The values for non-queryable fields may be retrieved later but may not be used in queries. The 5800 system supports only single-valued fields. Each object can have only a single name-value pair of a given name. There is no built-in support for multiple-valued fields, such as a list of authors of a book in the form of multiple fields named 'author'.
Each data object is associated with a set of name-value pairs at the time the object is stored. Some metadata (system metadata) is assigned by the5800 system as each object is stored. For example, each object contains an "object creation time" (system.object_ctime) and an OID (system.object_id), both of which are assigned by the system at the time an object is created. Some metadata (the computed metadata) is implicit in the stored data, and is made explicit at the time of the object store. For example, the system exposes the object data length as a metadata field (system.object_size). In addition, the 5800 system computes a Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA1) hash of the stored data as the data is stored and stores the hash as a metadata field (system.object_hash). There is also an associated field (system.object_hash_alg) to specify which hash algorithm was used in computing the system.object_hash. It is currently always set to "sha1."
Finally, some metadata (the user metadata) is supplied by the customer application in the API call at the time an object is stored. Each store operation is allowed to include a NameValueRecord that indicates a set of name-value pairs to be associated with the data object as metadata. Each name in the name-value record must match a field name from the metadata schema; in addition, the data value supplied for each field must match the type and length for the field as specified in the schema. If the names or values supplied for the user metadata do not match the active schema, then an exception is generated and the object is not stored.
The metadata associated with an object is immutable. There is no operation to modify the metadata associated with an object after the object has been stored. Instead, the storeMetadata operation can be used to create a completely new object by associating new user metadata with the underlying data and system-metadata of an existing object. The storeMetadata operation does not merge the new metadata in with the metadata from the original OID; instead, the storeMetadata operation creates a new metadata record pointing to the same data object. To accomplish a merge of new field values into existing metadata, the customer application must manually retrieve the existing metadata from the original object, perform the merge into a single NameValueRecord on the client side, and then call storeMetadata to create a new object with the merged metadata.
When creating a new object using storeMetadata, a new system.object_id and new system.object_ctime are generated, to indicate that a new object has been created. The metadata computed from the object data itself (system.object_length, system.object_hash_alg, and system.object_hash) does not change. Both the storeObject and the storeMetadata operations return a SystemRecord value that includes all of the system-assigned fields.
While retrieving the OID is the most common use of the SystemRecord, the other system fields can also be helpful. For example, the customer application might use the system.object_length, the system.object_hash_alg and the system.object_hash fields to verify that the data as stored matches the data as present in the customer application. If a hash independently computed on the client matches the hash stored on the 5800 system, then the data store has been validated.
The metadata values associated with an object can be retrieved using the retrieveMetadata operation. The retrieveMetadata operation takes an OID as input, and returns the entire set of user, system, and system-computed metadata. The retrieved metadata is in the form of a NameValueRecord that contains the value of each field as originally stored. The system fields occur using their field names, for example. the field system.object_ctime contains the object creation time. There is no operation to retrieve just a single field or a subset of fields by supplying a list of field names. The retrieveMetadata operation retrieves the values of both queryable and non-queryable fields.
One of the primary methods for retrieving data is to specify the characteristics of the desired data and then let the system find it for you. In the 5800 system, a query expression specifies a set of conditions on metadata field values. The system then returns a list of all the objects whose metadata values match the query conditions. Each object is considered individually without reference to any other objects. There are no queries that compare fields in one object with fields in a different object.
Query expressions can use much of the power of Structured Query Language (SQL). Each query expression combines SQL functions and operators, field names from the metadata schema, and literal values. There are no query expressions that select objects based on the data stored in the object itself; all queries apply only to the metadata fields associated with the object. Only queryable fields can be used in query expressions. For an object to show up in a query result set, the object must have a value for each of the fields mentioned in the query; in other words, there is an implicit INNER JOIN between the fields in the query.
A query may optionally specify that the result set should include not just the OID of each matching object, but also the values from a set of selected fields of each matched object . The value retrieved by Query With Select for some field may be a canonical equivalent of the value originally stored in that field. For example, values in numeric fields may have been converted to standard numeric format. Trailing spaces at the end of string fields will have been truncated (The value that is returned will be some value that would match the original data as stored, in the SQL sense.) To be included in the result set, an object must include values for all queried fields and all selected fields. In other words, there is an implicit INNER JOIN between all the fields in the query and in the select list.
There are significant limitations on which queries may be executed efficiently, or at all. See Chapter 4, Sun StorageTek 5800 System Query Language and Chapter 5, Programming Considerations and Best Practicess for details of these limitations.
There are no ordering guarantees between queries and store operations that are proceeding at the same time. If an object is added to the 5800 system while a query is being performed, and the object matches the query, then the object may or may not show up in the query result set.
For a detailed description of query syntax and query semantics, including a description of exactly what it means for an object to match a query, see Chapter 4, Sun StorageTek 5800 System Query Language.
The result set of any query will only return results that match the query. But will it return ALL the matching results? That is the concept of query completeness, referred to here as query integrity. 100% query integrity for a result set is defined as a state in which the result set contains all the objects in the 5800 system that match that particular query. The 5800 system is not always in a state of 100% query integrity. Various system events can induce a state in which the set of objects that are available for query is smaller than the total set of objects stored in the archive. Each query result set supports an operation (isQueryComplete) whereby the customer application can ask, once all the results from the query result set have been processed, whether that set of results constitutes a complete set.
The format of records as stored in the reliable and scalable object archive is not suitable for fast query. To enable searching, the queryable fields from the metadata are indexed in a query engine that can provide fast and flexible query services. The query engine is basically an SQL database. This is why the 5800 system's query language can borrow so heavily from SQL. At various times, the data as indexed in the query engine can get out of date compared to what is stored in the archive. When this happens, query result sets are not known to be complete until the contents of the query engine can be brought back up to date with the actual contents of the archive again.
The 5800 system concept of query integrity as actually implemented is somewhat looser than that of 100% query integrity. Even if a query result set indicates the result set is complete, the 5800 system allows certain objects, known as store index exceptions, to be missing from the query result set, as long as those exceptions were communicated to the customer application at the time the object was stored.
A store index exception is an object for which the original store of the object into the archive succeeded, but at least some part of the insert into the query engine (database) did not succeed. The object may or may not show up in all of the queries that it matches. A store index exception is communicated to the customer application at the time of store by means of a method SystemRecord.isIndexed. A value of false from isIndexed means that the object is not immediately available for query.
A store index exception is said to be resolved when the object becomes available for query. The checkIndexed method can be used to attempt to resolve a store index exception under program control. The checkIndexed operation checks if the object has been added to the query engine, and attempts to insert it if the object has not been added. If the insert into the query engine succeeds, the object is thereby restored to full queryability.
All store index exceptions will also eventually be resolved automatically by ongoing system healing. Each query result set also exports a method getQueryIntegrityTime that can be used to get detailed status on which store index exceptions might still be unresolved. The query integrity time is a time such that all store index exceptions from before that time have been resolved. There is an "ideal" query integrity time, which is the time of the oldest still-unresolved store index exception: an ideal implementation when asked for the query integrity time would always report this ideal value. In actual implementation, the reported query integrity time might be hours or even days earlier than the ideal query integrity time, depending on how far the ongoing system healing has progressed.
The 5800 system client API exports an operation to delete a specific object as specified by its OID. Once a delete operation completes normally, subsequent attempts to retrieve that object will fail with an exception. In addition, the object will stop showing up in query result sets that match the original object metadata. There are no transactional guarantees regarding ordering of queries and delete operations that are occurring at the same time. If an object is being deleted at the same time that a query that matches that object is being performed, then that object may or may not show up in the query result set, with no guarantee either way.
When all objects that share an underlying block of data storage been deleted, the underlying block of data storage will itself be scavenged and returned to the supply of free disk space. But all details of how objects are stored, and how and whether they ever share data — or ever are scavenged — are outside of the scope of this API.
Delete operations are all-or-nothing,with some caveats. Specifically, if a delete operation fails with an error, it is possible that the object is not fully deleted but is temporarily not queryable. Such an object is in an analogous state to a store index exception (see The 5800 System Query Integrity Model). The queryability of such an object will eventually be resolved by automatic system healing. In addition, the queryability of such an object can be resolved under program control by using the checkIndexed method. Alternatively, the customer application may choose to re-execute the delete operation until it succeeds, or until it fails with an error that indicates the object is already deleted.

Partly as a result of Genarlow Wilson's conviction, state legislators changed the law to make such consensual conduct between minors a misdemeanor, rather than a felony. The case revolves around a New Year's Eve party outside Atlanta in 2003 when Wilson engaged in the sex act with the girl.
[National News]
The Georgia Supreme Court on Friday ordered that Genarlow Wilson be released from prison in a 4-3 decision, ruling that his sentence for a teen sex conviction was cruel and unusual punishment.
Genarlow Wilson's case received national attention and led to changes in Georgia law. Wilson was convicted in 2005 of having oral sex with a consenting 15-year-old girl when he was 17. He has served two years in prison.
Wilson's attorney, B.J. Bernstein, told CNN that he can be released as soon as a Monroe County judge issues a new order and serves it to the attorney general. Bernstein added that she called the prison warden, who informed Wilson of his pending release.
"We want him home," Bernstein said. "In the end it shows this: That the courts can work, the courts do work." At the time of Wilson's conviction, Georgia law made the crime punishable by 10 years in prison. The law was later amended, making such conduct "punishable by no more than a year in prison and no sex offender registration," the court noted.
The Georgia high court upheld the decision of the Monroe County judge. In a 48-page opinion, the court said the "severe" punishment Wilson received and his mandated sex offender registration make "no measurable contribution to acceptable goals of punishment."
Friday's decision came after a protracted legal battle that has galvanized international attention and drawn the involvement of civil rights leaders. Partly as a result of Wilson's conviction, state legislators changed the law to make such consensual conduct between minors a misdemeanor, rather than a felony.
The case revolves around a New Year's Eve party outside Atlanta in 2003 when Wilson engaged in the sex act with the girl.
Under a now-changed Georgia law, Wilson was convicted of felony aggravated child molestation. He was acquitted on a second charge of raping a 17-year-old girl -- who prosecutors maintained was too intoxicated at the party to consent.
The 10-year sentence was mandatory under the law.
In the decision, Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears wrote that changes in the law "represent a seismic shift in the legislature's view of the gravity of oral sex between two willing teenage participants."
"Although society has a significant interest in protecting children from premature sexual activity, we must acknowledge that Wilson's crime does not rise to the level of culpability of adults who prey on children," the court's majority found.
"For the law to punish Wilson as it would an adult, with the extraordinarily harsh punishment of 10 years in prison without the possibility of probation or parole, appears to be grossly disproportionate to his crime," the majority opinion concluded.
The dissent noted that the Georgia Legislature had made clear that the changes in the law were not to be applied retroactively.
Justice George Carley, writing for the dissenting justices, said, "The General Assembly made the express decision that he cannot benefit from the subsequent legislative determination to reduce the sentence for commission of that crime from felony to misdemeanor status."
The majority countered that it was not applying the 2006 amendment retroactively, but instead factoring that "into its determination that Wilson's punishment is cruel and unusual," the court said in a news release.
The court said this kind of decision is unusual: "The majority opinion points out that this court rarely overturns a sentence on cruel and unusual grounds. But twice before, it did so following a legislative change."
Monroe County Superior Court judge ruled that Wilson's punishment was cruel and unusual and voided it on constitutional grounds. The judge reduced the sentence to one year and said Wilson should not be put on Georgia's sex offender registry, as the old law required.
Wilson's jubilant attorneys had hoped that ruling would free him from state prison. But shortly after it was handed down, Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker announced he would appeal the decision, a move that kept Wilson behind bars.
The high court said unanimously that the decision to deny Wilson bail was correct. Wilson's plight drew pleas for his release, including from former President Carter, an ex-Georgia governor, and even some of the jurors who convicted him.
Legislation that would make the change in Georgia's child molestation law retroactive to free Wilson failed to win approval earlier this year.

More than 400 people were arrested for drink driving offences over the festive period.
Figures just released by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) reveal from December 1 to January 1 traffic officers breathalysed over 2,400 motorists across the region. Of those breathalysed, 360 people were arrested for being over the legal drink drive limit. An additional 89 arrests were made for motorists who tested positive for illegal drug substances.
This compares to figures obtained during the same period in 2015/16, when there were 324 drink drivers and 80 drug drivers arrested, an overall increase of 11 percent.
Inspector Paul Rowe from the GMP Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "Unfortunately, yet again we see a year on year rise in the number of people deciding to get behind the wheel while under the influence of either alcohol or drugs.
"Four hundred and forty nine motorists took the conscious decision to risk not only their licence or career, but they also put their own life and more importantly the lives of innocent drivers and pedestrians in danger.
"Thankfully, due to the hard work performed by our traffic officers, they were arrested and taken off our roads before any serious damage could be done.
"Our Christmas operation may have ended but the public can rest assured that catching motorists under the influence of drink or drugs remains a top priority for Greater Manchester Police throughout the year."
To report a drink or drug driver, contact police on 101 or 999 in an emergency. Alternatively call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

The coffee, not the cup that holds it, is what matters
Posted by TheShot on 14 Feb 2007 | Tagged as: Quality Issues
A local, homespun, philosophical yarn in today's Gulf Breeze News (Gulf Breeze, FL … why do all the crackpots seem to come from Florida?) noted how our approach to life can failingly be like concentrating on the cup and not the coffee within it: The coffee, not the cup that holds it, is what matters. It's a nice, trite, Prarie-Home-Companion-way of looking at life. The author even relates this analogy to the untimely death of Anna Nicole Smith (huh?!?). The only problem with the author's analogy is that it's an ignorant and delusional pack of lies.
Cups do matter when it comes to coffee. Unfortunately, most cafés have no concept of this, and most coffee drinkers are far too intent on drinking their coffee like runners at a marathon refreshment station to notice. As the Espresso Italiano Tasting manual puts it…
The design of the cup affects:
- the appearance of the coffee and thus our appreciation of its creamy head (or crema),
- our olfactive appreciation by dispersing or concentrating the aroma,
- the taste because of its contact with our lips,
- the sensation of heat, and
- the quantity of coffee allowed into the mouth.
There's a reason quality restaurants present their food on warmed china instead of paper plates. If drinking vessels truly didn't matter, we'd all be sipping fine wines out of disposable plastic beer cups. And if I'm shelling out $2 a cup for beans that cost less than $2 per pound as greens, you had better believe I expect to be treated as if I'm at something other than a three-year-old's birthday party.
Maybe Chuck Randle likes to brew his morning coffee through his grandson's old gym socks, but coffee drinking shouldn't taste of paper. It's enough when I have to lick envelopes. Chuck, if you're going to pick on something as "superfluous," why couldn't you have instead chosen something like bloggers and columnists in Podunk local weeklies?

[…] Now we've written before about the importance of a good cup when drinking espresso. And we've written that there are times where what's right for flavor and what's right for the environment go hand-in-hand. The paper cup issue is the perfect example, and some governments are contributing to the cause: Taiwan to ban paper cups in offices, schools. […]
[…] my hero. And I don't care if it saves killer bees — at least give me the option to drink my espresso out of an adult cup once in a while, and I'm all for […]

Mount Cook and its surrounding national park is one of the most amazing locations in New Zealand without a doubt. To be able to get up so close and personal to NZ's tallest peak is a real thrill. I will never forget the feeling of arriving at the end of the Hooker Valley track and seeing the mighty sight of Mount Cook rising right up before me, nor the fact that the very last light of day lingers so much longer on the very tip of the peak. But I think that even more of a thrill was the morning I caught the sunrise at Tasman Glacier Lake. Despite being mid Spring, it was a -3 degrees start to the day but the amazing morning light and icebergs reflecting in the glacier lake were certainly worth freezing toes and fingers.
If you come to these mountains, one thing to seriously consider is a scenic flight over the mountains and glaciers. It really does give you the most incredible vantage point to see how all the peaks and glaciers interact with each other on this stretch of the Southern Alps. At the very least you need to spend 1 or 2 nights here to fully appreciate the scale of the whole national park, and to do justice to taking in the views from the different walking tracks within the park. And no trip to Mount Cook would be complete without stopping to take in the view from Peter's Lookout with the ridiculously aquamarine waters of Lake Pukaki in the foreground. The colour of the water defies belief with the alluvial glacial sediment washing into the lake to create such incredible colour.

The letter that I have written:
Dear Madam,
Once again I appeal to you, as I have always done in the past, for helping me to resolve a problem that I am currently facing.
As you know, I use my personal car every day to come at your place in the morning and to return to my home in the evening. For that, I receive
onlyRs 1.650 as transport allowance which is based on the bus fare.
Honestly speaking, the sum does not
evencover the expenses for the amount ofI use each month. My situation will even worsen soon as a result of your moving to Floreal. So, I humbly request you to review the situation and to adjust that sum so that I don't have to spend money for business expenses from money meant for my personal and family expenses.
As you are aware, I am a dedicated employee and I have always worked for the benefit of
the ouryour company. I will continue to do so and I humbly expect you to give me the means for that otherwise I would have hadto travel by bus every day, and this would haveentail unnecessary waste of time. Moreover at that time we leave the office, there are no buses available at that timeto return to my home.
I hope you will understand my situation and I really appreciate your help.
Yours sincerely

Review: My Brother
Seeing a ghetto-based drama revolving around Black males
not behaving either like amoral gangstas or clownish buffoons is a welcome change of pace.
When L'Tisha Morton (Vanessa Williams) discovers that she's dying
of tuberculosis, her first concern is for the welfare of her sons, ages 8
and 11.
The single-mom desperately wants them both to be adopted by the same
family, because James (Christopher Scott), the younger one, is mentally-
But when that doesn't happen, rather than allowing the two to be separated,
she entrusts the elder, Isaiah (Nashawn Kearse), with the responsibility of
raising his sibling who is afflicted with Down Syndrome.
Not surprisingly, trying to survive on their own in New York City proves to
be quite a challenge, and that endeavor is the essence of what "My
Brother" has to offer. Along the way, Isaiah is understandably distracted
periodically, whether by the possibility of making easy money via street
crime or by the womanly wiles of a seductive Sugar Mama (Tatum O'Neal) with
Jungle Fever. So, the question is whether he will remain resolute in
resisting temptation and opt to behave responsibly.
The picture was written and directed by Anthony Lover who must be
credited for making the first film ever to feature an African-American with
a developmental disability in lead roles, Donovan Jennings (James at the age
of 8) and Christopher Scott (James as an adult). The historic aspect of the
production aside, there are a couple of other reasons to recommend My
First, seeing a ghetto-based drama revolving around Black males
not behaving either like amoral gangstas or clownish buffoons is a welcome
change of pace. Secondly, the script was placed in the hands of a talented
cast, most notably, Vanessa Williams, who exhibits an emotional range unseen
in any of her previous work.
A moving and meaningful melodrama about a blood bond tested by the
trials and tribulations of trying to survive in the inner city.
Excellent (3.5 stars). Rated PG-13 for violence, profanity, and disturbing images.
Running time: 90 minutes. Studio: Codeblack Entertainment/Visual Entertainment

I decided to start this topic because I forget stuff and I'm sure others will want to try to convert their maps to ue4 at some stage.
If you have different experiences or better methods, please feel free to post them here. Eventually I'll use this topic for a wiki page.
Stage 1 (Radiant prep)
Load your map into radiant and save it with a new filename. You're going to delete a lot of "stuff" thats not going to be needed and you probably don't want to spoil your actual map.
Delete all entities, models and clipping. Delete any brushes that are sky and of course any caulk hull that is 100% caulk.
You'll need to use radiant 1.5 for the next stage as the brush to obj plugin was removed in later versions (it's not included in 1.64 of radiant)
Select all the brushes in your map and run the export to obj plugin, don't forget to add the .obj extension as the plugin doesn't do this.
Blender stage
Import the obj into blender. Select everything (press A until everything is selected) then press Ctrl-J to join everything together.
Now we need to remove the rotation (X is set to 90 degrees) and to re-scale the entire map to 2.54
You'll also need to flip the normals at this stage, the option is on the right hand toolbox, uv mapping.
Now enter edit mode and start selecting faces which are smallish blocks of mesh which should be joined.
Split these from the main mesh (select the faces, press P and choose by selection). At this stage I normally assign them a material that describes the portion.
Eventually, you'll have something like this.
Once you've completed this stage it's time to export everything to FBX, I generally export only mesh, I choose smoothing by face and disable all other options.
You can now import this into UE4, I'll document this stage later.

Brendan Rempel's second-period goal proved to be the difference in Harvard's ECAC and Ivy League opener Friday night (Photo courtesy: Kevin Burns).
Game Highlights: Nov. 2, 2012 vs. Brown
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard men's hockey team used a three-goal spurt in the second period then held off a third-period onslaught by Brown to knock off the Bears, 3-2, in both teams' ECAC and Ivy League opener Friday night at Bright Hockey Center.
Colin Blackwell, Kyle Criscuolo and Brendan Rempel all recorded their first goals of the season in just over a five-minute span for the Crimson, while Jimmy Vesey earned his second assist of the season. Tommy O'Regan and Criscuolo also picked up helpers to aid in the Crimson improving to 2-0-0 overall and 1-0-0 in the ECAC and Ivy League.
The Crimson had a bevy of opportunities to score in the first period, including three power plays. However, Harvard failed to get any of its 13 shots in the period to find the back of the net. Brown, on the other hand, was held to just 17 shots in the period and only eight on goal.
In the second frame, it was the Bears that drew first blood as Chris Zaires redirected Brandon Pfeil's shot from the point in front of the goal past Harvard netminder Rafael Girard to break the scoreless draw at the 3:24 mark.
It looked like Brown would have a chance to extend the lead when it went on the power play; however, it was the Crimson that took advantage of the opportunity. Sophomore Colin Blackwell intercepted a Brown pass in his own zone then weaved his way down the ice before flicking it into the bottom left corner from right in front of the net for the equalizer and his first goal of the season. It was Harvard's first short-handed tally since Luke Greiner picked one up against Northeastern Feb. 13.
Harvard claimed its first lead of the game just over two minutes later on Criscuolo's first career tally. Classmate Vesey forced a turnover in the neutral zone and skated into the Brown zone before feeding him a pass just to the left of the crease. Criscuolo carried the puck to the center of the night before before trickling a wrist shot just past junior Marco De Filippo to increase the advantage.
The barrage of Crimson goals continued three minutes later as the squad extended its lead to two. Senior Rempel blasted a shot from the right point into the top left corner of the net off passes from O'Regan and Criscuolo at the 16:37 mark.
It looked like Harvard would head into the second intermission with all the momentum, but the Bears struck again late in the period. Matt Lorito took a centering pass from Matt Harlow and buried it in the top right corner to draw Brown within one.
In the final 20 minutes, Brown had a bevy of opportunities to tie up the game, but Girard was there to deny every time, making 12 saves in the final frame. The Bears' best opportunity came in the waning moments after Alex Fallstrom was called for a high stick with just 31 seconds remaining. Harvard was able to hold off the six-on-four advantage to skate away with its second win in as many tries this season.
The Crimson will continue with ECAC and Ivy League play Saturday night against archrival Yale at Bright Hockey Center for game three of its five-game homestand to begin the year. Puck is slated to drop at 7 p.m.

Won't make again. Lots of work for very little flavor differentiation in the layers. I always try new recipes out on my neighbors before adding to my Christmas cookie baking and they agreed with me.
Dec 26, 2012
I needed to tweak the flour a bit with the marachino layer but everyone loved these. I put the dough in the freezer once it was layered and it sliced perferctly.
Dec 19, 2012
Mine did not turn out so rectangular but everyone liked these cookies, I left out the hazelnut flavoring in the chocolate layer and it was fine.

Plicamycin injection
What is plicamycin injection?
PLICAMYCIN (Mithracin®) is a type of chemotherapy for treating cancer. Plicamycin is an antibiotic that interferes with cell growth. It is effective in treating testicular cancer. Plicamycin may also lower serum calcium levels and is used to treat patients with high levels of calcium in the blood. Generic plicamycin injections are not yet available.
NOTE: This drug is discontinued in the United States.
What should my health care professional know before I receive plicamycin?
They need to know if you have any of these conditions:
bleeding problems
blood disorders
dental disease
having intramuscular injections
infection (especially chickenpox and herpes)
kidney disease
liver disease
low blood levels of calcium, magnesium, potassium, or phosphate
lung disease
recent radiation therapy
an unusual or allergic reaction to plicamycin, other chemotherapy agents, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
pregnant or trying to get pregnant
How should I use this medicine?
Plicamycin is for infusion into a vein. It is usually given in a hospital or clinic setting by a trained health care professional.
What if I miss a dose?
It is important not to miss a dose if you require regular therapy. Let your prescriber or health care professional know if you are unable to keep an appointment.
What drug(s) may interact with plicamycin?
agents that dissolve blood clots
aspirin and aspirin-like medicines
blood thinners
medicines that suppress your immune function
live virus vaccines
medicines for mental problems and psychotic disturbances
zidovudine, ZDV
Tell your prescriber or health care professional about all other medicines you are taking, including nonprescription medicines, nutritional supplements, or herbal products. Also tell your prescriber or health care professional if you are a frequent user of drinks with caffeine or alcohol, if you smoke, or if you use illegal drugs. These may affect the way your medicine works. Check with your health care professional before stopping or starting any of your medicines.
What should I watch for while taking plicamycin?
Visit your prescriber or health care professional for regular checks on your progress. You will need to have regular blood checks.
Plicamycin may make you feel generally unwell. This is not uncommon because plicamycin affects good cells as well as cancer cells. Report any side effects as above, but continue your course of medicine even though you feel ill, unless your prescriber or health care professional tells you to stop.
Plicamycin can cause blood problems. This can mean slow healing and a risk of infection. Try to avoid cutting or injuring yourself. Problems can arise if you need dental work, and in the day to day care of your teeth. Try to avoid damage to your teeth and gums when you brush or floss your teeth.
While you are taking plicamycin, you will be more susceptible to infection. Try to avoid people with colds, flu, and bronchitis. Do not have any vaccinations without your prescriber's approval and avoid anyone who has recently had oral polio vaccine.
Call your prescriber or health care professional for advice if you get a fever, chills or sore throat. Do not treat yourself.
If you are going to have surgery, tell your prescriber or health care professional that you are receiving plicamycin.
Drink several glasses of water a day. This will help to reduce possible kidney or bladder problems.
What side effects may I notice from receiving plicamycin?
Side effects that you should report to your prescriber or health care professional as soon as possible:
black tarry stools
blood in the urine
fever or chills, cough or sore throat
lower back pain
muscle spasms, muscle weakness
pain or difficulty passing urine
pain, redness, swelling or irritation at the injection site
reduced, or increased amount of urine passed
seizures (convulsions)
stomach pain, ulcers
unusual bleeding or bruising, pinpoint red spots on your skin, nose bleeds
unusual tiredness or weakness
Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your prescriber or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome):
loss of appetite
facial flushing
mouth or throat sores or ulcers
Where can I keep my medicine?
Keep out of the reach of children.
After mixing the injection solution use at once. Use infusion solution within 4—6 hours. Throw away any unused portions.

Tiny houses
Inside a culture where individuals are scrambling to home loans, asking "How large of your house can one afford?" the concept of intentionally scaling back is somewhat radical. Some individuals, though, are pausing from the race, and instead are asking "How much must i really need?" They may be realizing that larger homes draw excessive levels of resources, both natural as well as. Smaller homes, or micro homes, demand much less up keep, allowing the homeowner peace of mind and a calmer lifestyle.
affordable micro homes
Just how big is very large enough? Where the line between comfort and excess? Consider this to be. Within the 1950's the United States' average size home was lower than 1000 sqft. Compare that to your current whopping 2350 sqft average! That is a 135% increase. (American girth is certainly not much above average) Most of the planet resides in homes smaller compared to our garages. These larger homes of ours consider their toll.
Large homes really are a drain on resources, both your own resources of energy and cash, and also national resources. Initially, the property must be built. The better the home is, the higher the building cost will probably be and the more materials are needed. As soon as the home is complete, it needs to be maintained. Hvac uses expensive resources such as electricity and natural gas. Re-roofing, re-siding and even painting turn into a large and difficult process in a big house. The physical, mental, emotional and financial expenses of owning a large home always be there.
Micro homes (defined for your purposes as homes under 500 sqft) supply the solution. An inferior house is fast and inexpensive to create with conventional materials, often meaning no mortgage is essential. For the size, a micro home may be constructed from a much more time-consuming material, such as cob or straw bale. Maintenance on a micro house is a lot less labor intense; re-roofing is possible by a couple of people, as an alternative to needing a sizable crew. Utility pricing is far lower. (One lady heats her micro home just $8 of propane per month!) Smaller spaces might be cooled very quickly by just opening windows, whereas larger rooms don't circulate air efficiently.
With fewer expenses much less maintenance, micro homes give a completely different lifestyle. No mortgage could mean working only part-time, or creating a home based business. A smaller space to wash means more hours can be obtained for taking part in together with the kids, reading a favorite book, or pursuing a virtually forgotten hobby. Make a life lived to your specifications, obtaining the freedom to complete what you look for. Many people are doing exactly that! From architects to singles fathers, from writers to retirees, they are rediscovering an adult, simpler, quitter life style... and never in hindsight!

Gov. Rick Perry has signed into law a much-watched high school curriculum overhaul that cuts the number of standardized tests students must pass to graduate from 15 to five.
The measure is designed to give more flexibility to youngsters who want to focus on career training, not just college-prep courses.
But, amid a major backlash from students, parents and teachers about too much testing, it also slashes the number of state-mandated exams.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Perry said Monday he was originally skeptical about weakening curriculum standards -- but that the measure strikes a good balance.
It became law as Texas announced that only 54.3 percent of nine graders passed the English I STAAR exam, down slightly from 2012.
Even under the new law, high school students still must pass an English I exam.

Gary, the flower-eating goat's graze with the law ended after a judge ruled neither he nor his owner could be found guilty of vandalism of the incident in August.
Police at the time levelled a fine of AUS$440 (£292) against owner Jim Dezarnaul, a comedian known as Jimbo Bazoobi.
But man and goat got their day in court, with Gary arriving resplendent in a colourful hat on Wednesday. The brown-and-white goat did not testify, but he had his own lawyer.
Magistrate Carolyn Barkell said the accused had been eating the flowers when police arrived, but said there was no evidence Gary was there with the intention of vandalising vegetation.
The goat's lawyer Paul McGirr said the police had issued the wrong penalty order, because it related to a person and not a goat.
Owner Mr Dezarnaul said the case serves as a lesson to overzealous authorities.
"Gary's name has been cleared of all this slander," he said. "He was simply eating and I want to thank everyone for coming down here.
"Gary the goat taught the cops a valuable lesson today, don't bite off more than you can chew."

Every breath we take

By Trish Barker
Researchers at the Illinois State Water Survey and the University of Illinois use NCSA's systems to simulate how U.S. air quality will be affected by global climate and emission changes.
The prevailing scientific view is that emissions from our cars, planes, and the power plants that fuel our nearly infinite array of power-gobbling devices are changing the Earth's climate. Since the Industrial Revolution, our planet's temperature has edged higher. Data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show that Earth's surface temperature has increased by about 1.2 to 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1900, and the Environmental Protection Agency predicts a further increase of 2.5 to 10.4 degrees Fahrenheit above 1990 temperatures by the end of this century.
How this climate shift will affect plants, animals, and peopleand what should be done about itis a focus of much research (and political debate). For the past several years, a team of scientists at the Illinois State Water Survey (ISWS) and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has used high-performance computers at NCSA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to examine the ways in which global climate change and human-driven emissions will affect future air quality. One focus has been ozone, which screens the Earth from damaging ultraviolet light in the upper atmosphere but becomes a pollutant closer to Earth.
The current EPA limit for ground-level ozone is 80 parts per billion (ppb), and the agency recently proposed lowering this standard to 70-75 ppb. In requesting the change, the EPA pointed to evidence that ozone causes health problemssuch as reduced lung function and increased susceptibility to respiratory infectionsat concentrations below the current standard. Recent scientific research also shows that repeated exposure to even low levels of ozone damages vegetation and trees and reduces crop yields.
ISWS researcher Xin-Zhong Liang is the principal investigator for the project; co-PIs are Water Survey scientists Michael Caughey, Ho‑Chun Huang, Kenneth Kunkel, and Allen Williams, and Donald Wuebbles, a University of Illinois professor of atmospheric science and the leader of the University's new School of Earth, Society and Environment. The goal of this EPA-funded project is to provide policymakers with the information they need to craft effective strategies to meet the agency's National Ambient Air Quality Standards in the decades to come.
The project encompasses numerous research areas, resulting in more than 10 articles published or accepted for publication in Geophysical Research Letters, the Journal of Climate, the Journal of Geophysical Research, the Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, and other journals.
Modeling the big picture
The researchers applied a new modeling system, developed at the Water Survey, that integrates a regional climate model, an emissions model, and an air quality model nested within global climate and chemistry models. Using this integrated model to get a more complete picture of a highly complex system, the researchers homed in on four U.S. regions (Midwest, Northeast, California, and Texas) and four metropolitan areas (Chicago, St. Louis, New York City, and Washington, D.C.), looking at summers between 1995 and 2000. They found that the simulation results agreed well with recorded ozone levels, demonstrating the utility of the new model. This work has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology.
Again using the new ISWS modeling system, researchers considered two emission scenarios outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), labeled B1 and A1Fi. The B1 storyline describes a world in which resource use is dramatically reduced. The A1Fi storyline, on the other hand, depicts a future world of rapid economic growth under the fossil-intensive energy system. Liang describes the B1 scenario as "very clean," with drastic emissions cuts that would be quite difficult to achieve, and the A1Fi as "very dirty" with limited emissions controls.
The results were an intriguing mix. In the dirty scenario, ozone concentrations increased in large rural areas of the United States, but metropolitan areas experienced either small increases or decreases. In the clean scenario on the other hand, the reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions succeeded in decreasing surface ozone in the rural zones. But the opposite effect was found in metropolitan areas, where large reductions in nitrogen oxides actually increased the ozone level due to a short-term phenomenon known as the titration effect. The work has been accepted for publication in Geophysical Research Letters.
Emissions without borders
Emissions and air flow ignore national boundaries, so the researchers also considered how actions in other countries could impact U.S. air quality.
The Illinois researchers examined the effect of "transboundary emissions" from Mexico and Canada by comparing simulations that included precursor emissions from those countries with simulations that included emissions only from the 48 contiguous U.S. states. When emissions from across the southern and northern U.S. borders were included, ground-level ozone concentrations in northwest Washington state and along the south shore of Lake Ontario were elevated by as much as 16 ppb, with more moderate increases in other regions.
"Transboundary emissions must be considered when planning air quality control strategies," Liang explained. "If Canada and Mexico were committed to produce no emissions, then these influenced regions of the U.S. will be benefited significantly, with very little chance of violating the national ozone standard. However, if our neighboring countries produce more emissions (which is projected by various IPCC scenarios), then these sensitive regions will be further degraded."
And it's not just neighboring countries the United States must consider. U.S. air quality is also affected by pollutants from Europe and Asia. Using an improved version of the global Model for OZone And Related chemical Tracers (MOZART), the researchers examined the impact of transpacific transport (TPT) on U.S. ozone levels in 1999 and on to 2099. The projected increase in European and Asian emissions under the IPCCís A1Fi "dirty" scenario would need to be balanced by a drastic 50 percent cut in emissions in the northwest U.S. in order to maintain a stable ozone level. Under the "clean" B1 scenario, the drop in European and Asian emissions would allow a 25 percent increase in the northwest U.S. The researchers point out that this dramatic shift in regional air quality based on emissions originating half a world away points to the "necessity of global emission reductions for regional pollutant mitigation."
Putting more pollutants in the mix
While one EPA grant draws to a close this year, the team's work will continue and be expanded to include aerosols and mercury under a new grant that stretches until 2010. Using the integrated climate/air quality/chemical transport model, the researchers will examine aerosol-climate interactions. The plan is to increase the resolution of the modeling for the Northeast, Midwest, Southeast, California, and Texas, because of the high probability of air quality problems in those regions.
