WASHINGTON/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Google Inc has complied with a request by the Pentagon to remove some online images from its street-level map service because they pose a security threat to U.S. military bases, military and company officials said on Thursday.

Gen. Gene Renuart, head of the military command responsible for homeland defense, said the Pentagon had talked to Google about the risks and expected the company to cooperate in removing selected images from its Street View service.

“We have been contacted by the military,” Google spokesman Larry Yu said. “In those instances where they (the U.S military) have expressed concerns about the imagery, we have accommodated their requests.”

The Defense Department, which is still studying how many images are available, has also banned Google teams from taking video images on bases.

“We’ve got to get a sense of what is there and see how we can mitigate it,” Renuart said.

But because many images were taken from public streets, the military may not have a legal right to request that videos be pulled.

Street View, a feature of Google Maps, offers ground-level, 360-degree views of streets in 30 U.S. cities. Web users are able to drive down a street, in a virtual sense, using their mouse to adjust views of roadside scenery.

The feature has become a popular service for drivers seeking to plan a trip to an unfamiliar neighborhoods. But from the outset, Street View has been a magnet of controversy over potential privacy invasion of people captured in the images.

In one instance, a man was pictured exiting a San Francisco strip club. In another case, a woman was shown sunbathing. Complaints have even included a woman asking that a picture of her cat be taken down, a request Google denied.

The images that worry the Pentagon include views of bases, including security at the entrances to those installations.

“It actually shows where all the guards are. It shows how the barriers go up and down. It shows how to get in and out of buildings,” said Renuart, commander of U.S. Northern Command.

“I think that poses a real security risk for our military installations,” he told reporters at the Pentagon.

The Google spokesman said his company’s policy was to photograph only those images visible from public roads.

“It is against Google’s policy for a driver to seek access to a military base,” Yu said.

Street View has yet to be introduced outside the United States. Web-based Google Maps and a related computer-based service called Google Earth have drawn criticism from a variety of countries for providing images of sensitive locations, such as military bases or potential targets of terror attacks.

The services rely on civilian versions of satellite maps that it licenses from commercial mapping services.

LONDON (Reuters) - A British company has developed a camera that can detect weapons, drugs or explosives hidden under people’s clothes from up to 25 meters away in what could be a breakthrough for the security industry.

The T5000 camera, created by a company called ThruVision, uses what it calls “passive imaging technology” to identify objects by the natural electromagnetic rays — known as Terahertz or T-rays — that they emit.

Intel on Wednesday confirmed that it would ship the six-core Xeon processor in the second half of this year, putting to rest rumors about the processor’s actual ship date.

Intel on Wednesday confirmed that it would ship the six-core Xeon processor in the second half of this year, putting to rest rumors about the processor’s actual ship date.

Speculation about the shipping date of the processor, code-named Dunnington, surfaced last month after an Intel presentation detailing the processor was leaked by Sun Microsystems. The presentation, which showed that the chip would ship in the second half, was available on Sun’s servers, but was later pulled off.

The Dunnington chip will be part of Intel’s Xeon MP 7000 series of processors and will allow a four-processor server to have up to 24 cores, Intel CEO Paul Otellini said during a speech at Intel’s investor conference in Santa Clara, California, on Wednesday. It will be part of the Caneland server platform, which also includes the Clarksboro chipset.

Otellini also reaffirmed that Intel was on schedule to release chips based on the Nehalem microarchitecture, a successor to Intel’s Core microarchitecture, later this year. Otellini in the past said that Nehalem would deliver better performance-per-watt and better system performance through its QuickPath Interconnect system architecture. Nehalem chips will also include an integrated memory controller and improved communication links between system components, Otellini said.

Nehalem processors will include multithreading and up to eight cores per chip, Otellini said. A multithreaded octo-core system will make for a very powerful machine and could expand Intel’s presence in niche segments like high-performance computing (HPC), he said. The PC version of the Nehalem chip will mix CPU cores and graphics cores to deliver improved system performance, Otellini said. Nehalem chips will be manufactured using the 45-nanometer process.

The company will follow up Nehalem with the Westmere microarchitecture in 2009 and Sandy Bridge in 2010, Otellini said. Otellini indicated that work has begun on microarchitectures to succeed Sandy Bridge, but that code-names had not been assigned. By 2011, he said chips will be manufactured using the 22-nm process.

Intel will make a real leap into the HPC segment with the Larrabee platform, which will have lots of cores, lots of threads and deliver performance “bar none,” Otellini said. The platform will be delivered in the late-2009-to-2010 time frame, Otellini said.

Otellini also reaffirmed that the Menlow platform for ultraportable devices would ship next quarter. The Menlow platform is a set of components, including the low-power processor code-named Silverthorne and Poulsbo chipset, that run ultramobile devices. The Silverthorne chip, manufactured using the 45-nanometer processor, will be upgraded and moved to the 32-nanometer processor next year.

Intel earlier this week assigned the brand name Atom to its Silverthorne and Diamondville chips. The Menlow platform for ultramobile computers was renamed Centrino Atom. The Diamondville is a low-power chip targeted for use in inexpensive laptops.

While Intel is increasingly focused on mobile devices and notebooks, it isn’t giving up on desktops. The company is working on technology called “Remote Wake-up,” which makes a desktop an Internet-attached storage device. Typing a URL into a remote Web browser wakes up a desktop from deep sleep mode, allowing users remote access to files on the desktop. Intel is working on this technology, company officials said, but did not provide a release date.

Virus that causes cervical cancer most common, government study finds
AP News

CHICAGO - At least one in four teenage girls nationwide has a sexually transmitted disease, or more than 3 million teens, according to the first study of its kind in this age group.

A virus that causes cervical cancer is by far the most common sexually transmitted infection in teen girls aged 14 to 19, while the highest overall prevalence is among black girls — nearly half the blacks studied had at least one STD. That rate compared with 20 percent among both whites and Mexican-American teens, the study from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found.

About half of the girls acknowledged ever having sex; among them, the rate was 40 percent. While some teens define sex as only intercourse, other types of intimate behavior including oral sex can spread some infections.

Main Aisi Mohabat Karta Hoon - Larki Ka Jawab -

tum jab bhi ghar par aatay ho

main chor k sab kuch bhagti hoon
aur tum ko jo na paoon to
ji bhar k ronay lagti hoon
main aisi mohabbat karti hoon
tum kaisi mohabbat kartay ho
mehfil main kaheen bhi jana ho
kapron ka selection karna ho

us rang pe dil aa jata hai
jo rang k tum ko bhata hai
main aisi mohabbat karti hoon
tum kaisi mohabbat kartay ho
rozana apnay college main
kisi aur ka lecture suntay hoay
ya break k khali ghantay main

tum jab bhi samnay aatay ho
main tum say sunn na chahti hoon
kash kabhi tum ye keh do
tum mujh say mohabbat kartay ho
tum mujh ko bohat hi chahtay ho
lekin janay tum kyun chup ho
yeh soch k dil ghabrata hai
aisa to nahin hai na jana
sirf meri nazar ka dhoka ho
tum nay mujh ko chaha hi na ho
koi aur hi dil main rehta ho
main tum say poochna chahti hoon
main tum say kehna chahti hoon
lekin kuch pooch nahin sakti
mana ke mohabbat hai phir bhi
lab apnay khol nahin sakti
main larki hoon kaisay keh doon

main tum say ye kaisay pochoon
tum kaisi mohabbat kartay ho
chup chap see main…ho jati hoon
phir dil main apnay kehti hoon
main aisi mohabbat karti hoon
tum kaisi mohabbat kartay ho
