Stayed here based on price and other reviews. A bit hard to find, but Goggle Maps got me there with little problem. Room was less than $100 and was a great value. Arrived at night and everything was well lit. The lobby was modern and clean, and the staff was very friendly. My room was a good size and also clean. For a one night stay when I wasn't in the mood to spend $200+ for a room, this was a great choice. It was convenient to my business in the Las Colinas area. I would stay here again.

That's cool, but how can I avoid any connection via my phone other than the command prompet?
I need to make sure that ONLY the command propet uses my smart phone Wi-Fi, while any other connection uses the available ethernet connection.

Subsocial spiders demonstrate an intermediate stage in the evolution of permanent sociality. Cooperative hunting is an important attribute of their sociality, but has not been documented in subsocial arthropods. After cannibalizing their mother, young of the subsocial spider Amaurobius ferox (Araneae, Amaurobiidae) remain together for several instars and feed communally. We monitored the collective prey capture behavior of the spiderlings. All the clutches showed collective capturing sequence (latency–orientation–moving–touching–seizing–feeding) toward the prey that was 10 times more massive than each individual. The first three individuals that exhibited attacking behavior were responsible for 90% of the total number of attacks, while 68% of the individuals within the group never exhibited attacks during the first 10 min following the introduction of prey into the communal web. First arriving individuals at the prey most often seized the antennae and legs of the prey, which probably facilitate access to the prey for subsequent individuals. The spiderlings that arrived later occupied more likely the abdomen and thorax, which contain more nutrition than the extremities occupied earlier. The individual apportionment of collective hunting behavior suggests a coordinated teamwork among individuals.

Lewd conduct with young child brings guilty plea
BARRE An East Montpelier man has admitted making a young female relative perform oral sex on him around 2005.
Justin Butler, 34, pleaded guilty Friday to felonious lewd and lascivious conduct in Washington County criminal court in Barre. He agreed to a plea deal of one to five years, all suspended except six months, but will not be sentenced until a pre-sentence investigation is complete.
A charge of felonious lewd and lascivious conduct with a child was dismissed as part of the plea.
According to the police affidavit, which Butler admitted was factual in his guilty plea, he would play a game with the girl when she was around 5 or 6 years old in which Butler would blindfold her and say he would give her a taste test by putting something into her mouth and telling her not to bite it. When the girl was 10 years old, she told her mother about the game and said she thought Butler was putting his penis in her mouth.
The girl also said there was a time when she was sitting on Butlers lap and he rubbed his penis on her arm.
Butler has previous convictions of simple assault in 2007, leaving the scene of an accident in 2005 and driving while under the influence in 2002.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Bennington woman was hospitalized following an early morning fire.

Original Plan: connect 16 miles of straight tracks on each side with curved track, creating a pill-shape. The straight tracks are 10 miles apart.
New: New track must have a transition curve (from straight track to curved track) where the curvature will increase LINEARLY until it fits the curved track. There must be an explicit parameterization for the curve, and an approximation will be accepted only if the exact formula for the exact curve is impossible to produce. The curvature where the straight and curved track meet must not differ by more than 1% and the distance between the tracks (10 miles) must not increase or decrease by more than 100 feet. What is the total length of the new track?
Possible hints:
Start with k(s)=s (linear increase with slope 1, where s is arc length) and work backwards to find the vector function r(s).
The unit tangent vector T(s)=<cos(theta(s)),sin(theta(s))> for a function theta(s).
Use taylor series to approximate the transition curve.
Numerical integration with the use of a calculator or computer will be required to find the length of the transition curve.Show transcribed image text

Coeur Noir Earring - E212
Ask a question about this product
A black enamel heart beats its desperate wings, trying to break free of the shackles of commitment, while the cuff holds down the dark heart, chaining it in place despite its longings for freedom.
First designed in 2003 and with a matching choker available, the Couer Noir earring is a beautifully petite piece. The stud is formed of a tiny black enamel heart with wings, and a fine silver chain drifts upwards to the cuff, which is stamped with the words couer noir, or black heart, in swooping, elegant font.
Alchemy Gothic capture the fickle plight of love with simplicity and skill, hinting at the vast spectrum of symbolism associated with the passions of true love, which cannot be held in chains but must be allowed free to fly.
Light and suitable for daily use, you can wear your heart on your sleeve with this delightful little earring.

Investigating social participation of young adults with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is important given the increasing number of youth aging into young adulthood. Social participation is an indicator of life quality and overall functioning. Using data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2, we examined rates of participation in social activities among young adults who received special education services for autism (ASD group), compared to young adults who received special education for intellectual disability, emotional/behavioral disability, or a learning disability. Young adults with an ASD were significantly more likely to never see friends, never get called by friends, never be invited to activities, and be socially isolated. Among those with an ASD, lower conversation ability, lower functional skills, and living with a parent were predictors of less social participation.

why are you mixing up the letter p and d?
why are you mixing up the letter p and d?
Well, you know as they say. You can't get enough of having a brick wall on your torso ^^'
Oh yes! Character replacement is a thing that these characters have. We call them quirks. In this case, these two replace every b with d; every p with q; every d with b; and every q with p. I know, it's confusing :U
ah okay xp
But still, 50 sets? that would ruin your muscles xp
But still, 50 sets? that would ruin your muscles xp
Don't worry. Having incredibly high endurance levels gives them a great advantage. And it's not really more cardio than the actual muscle building workouts. The actual workouts are what you should be worrying about
Well, the entire family had their muscular traits started by their dad (The dude on the first panel) where all the versions of his workouts surpass the normally given gym workouts. Because of this, working out in a gym is pretty redundant for them. They go even heavier; barely having fatigue. There's always time to break the limit. -w-
I want to poke his veins... :3
Ohmagawd! darn it, dude, you're getting better and better, faster. >3<... where'd you get inspiration to draw all them shreds and veins all of a sudden? XD
*sings Harder Better Faster Stronger*
That is a beautiful question with a simple answer, from all of you guys! .u.
wow. this looks amazing
Thanks! Gladly appreciated :U
Looks like The Inverteb bib a pretty goob job to me!

Formscan By Eamonn Murphy - DAYS HOTEL gets a narrow vote over Roi Du Mee. The selection does go up in trip, but he started off his days in point-to-points and his half-brother, Travino won a Grade 1 novice hurdle over two and a half miles. Three from three over fences, Days Hotel could well be suited very nicely by this distance, around somewhere like Thurles, and the assessor rates him 3Ibs superior to Roi Du Mee. That one is much respected though, as he is in the form of his life right now and he won't be easily upstaged. The official figures might suggest something different but Foildubh is next in in my book with the likes of Quito De La Roque, Tranquil Sea and Joncol looking lights of other days. In fairness, the latter is tried in a first-time tongue-strap now and his second placing at Navan 40 days ago, to Rule The World, reads more than okay now. It'd be a big surprise if Rathlin or Oscar Time proved up to the challenge.

Definition of hames in English:
plural noun
Two curved pieces of iron or wood forming or attached to the collar of a draft horse, to which the traces are attached.
Example sentences
- We used to call them 'haum chains' and, of course, they were hooked on the hames of a horse collar, the other end went on to the hook on the shafts of a cart etc.
- They couldn't stop Major dancing about but they still managed to fasten the hames chains onto his collar and the breeching chains onto the hooks further down the shafts and so he was, as they say, 'yoked up'.
- Breast collars, which are much cheaper than full collars and hames, are easier to fit and accommodate variety pony sizes.

Earlier this year, I got my hands on the T-Mobile 4G Sonic Hotspot and as always, had to tear it apart as soon as I got it. I never wrote about it because I didn't find anything overly interesting, but now it's the end of the year, and I need to clear some inventory from my brain. If anyone remembers my post on the (older) T-Mobile 4G Hotspot (sans "Sonic"), the main limitation of that device was that the processor is an obscure one that required some digging to get information on. Thankfully, the Sonic variety is much easier to break into. Continue reading

Choosing the pipeline depth of a microprocessor is one of the most critical design decisions that an architect must make in the concept phase of a microprocessor design. To be successful in today's cost/performance marketplace, modern CPU designs must effectively balance both performance and power dissipation. The choice of pipeline depth and target clock frequency has a critical impact on both of these metrics. We describe an optimization methodology based on both analytical models and detailed simulations for power and performance as a function of pipeline depth. Our results for a set of SPEC2000 applications show that, when both power and performance are considered for optimization, the optimal clock period is around 18 FO4. We also provide a detailed sensitivity analysis of the optimal pipeline depth against key assumptions of our energy models. Finally, we discuss the potential risks in design quality for overly aggressive or conservative choices of pipeline depth.

(Eds: Updates. With AP Photos.)
By ARNIE STAPLETON
AP Pro Football Writer
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - Demaryius Thomas sure has a knack for dashing into history.
Eight months after scoring the longest overtime touchdown in NFL playoff annals, the Denver Broncos' big receiver burned the Pittsburgh Steelers again by hauling in Peyton Manning's 400th touchdown toss.
In January, it was an 80-yard grab from Tim Tebow on a crossing pattern that secured Denver's first playoff win in six seasons. On Sunday night, he turned a "smoke screen" designed to beat the blitz and gain about 10 yards into a 71-yard score.
With that, Manning joined Brett Favre and Dan Marino in the exclusive 400-TD club.
At 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds, Thomas is the biggest target Manning has had in his 15 seasons as a pro, but it was his speed that took Manning aback.
"We weren't thinking an 80-yard touchdown. Maybe a 9-yard gain is kind of what I was thinking," Manning said. "So, it sure was a nice surprise."
Manning marveled at the blocks Thomas got, but noted "Demaryius did a majority of the work and really turned it on with great speed."
Thomas figured that having his first full training camp in his third pro season would translate into a fast start, and he was right.
He was dogged by a broken foot, sprained ankle, concussion, torn Achilles and fractured finger in his first two seasons after leaving Georgia Tech following his junior season. He missed training camp his rookie year after aggravating a foot injury and he missed last year's camp after tearing an Achilles tendon in offseason workouts.
He was coming off yet another surgery, to remove pins in his left pinkie, when Manning signed with the Broncos in March.
So, he got a late start working on his rhythm and rapport with his new quarterback while fellow starting wide receiver Eric Decker quickly became Manning's workout partner.
Thomas, however, quickly caught up when he was healthy.
"Being able to go through OTAs, minicamps and all with a new quarterback, it was a big deal," Thomas said. "I feel like everything just got better and better as we went on. It's better to get the reps on the field than just sitting in meetings and watching. It was great for me to be healthy this year to get the actual reps instead of the mental reps."
If Thomas, who had five catches for 110 yards in the opener, can stay healthy, he'll be a big boost for Denver's retooled offense.
After missing the first five games last year, Thomas was spectacular down the stretch. In December and January, his 35 catches for 745 yards, four touchdowns and a 109.3-yard receiving average were second only to Detroit's Calvin Johnson and came despite Thomas playing in an ultra-conservative option offense.
With Tebow around, opponents often left Thomas in single coverage so they could stack the line of scrimmage to stuff the run.
With Manning at quarterback, Thomas is adjusting to crowded coverages.
"It's a lot of different when Tebow was playing and it was nine (defenders) in the box all the time. All I had to do was beat man" coverage, Thomas said. "Now it's cover-eight, cover-six, cover-two. ... But I think I'll have a good year if I can stay healthy."
Thomas said he's a better receiver for having a perfectionist like Manning as his QB.
"He's made me a smarter receiver and taught me how to run routes the way he wanted them, the way to get open," Thomas said. "Basically, I had to change up some things that I wasn't doing before. Working with Peyton helped me."

I have a webpage of quotes in my wordpress template and I would like to add a 'tweet' button at the end of each so people have the option of tweeting the quote. Lots of widgets I have seen seem to only do this in blog posts, and not pages. It needs to be in a page.
For example:
"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." Forrest Gump (tweet button here).
Can someone please let me know if there is a plugin that does this in PAGES (not blog posts) or whether I need to add some kind of HTML code at the end of the quote.

Background In many cases standard management for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in children and adolescents is ineffective. Objective To evaluate the efficacy of a video film intervention in preventing the development of persistent fatigue and significant school absence in fatigued children and adolescents. Design Randomised controlled trial. Participants 91 patients with fatigue; 50 were randomly assigned to receive the intervention (video film plus usual care) and 41 to usual care only. Intervention A video film on CFS and coping behaviour. Main outcome measures Self-reported fatigue severity, physical activity, motivation, concentration and school absence. Results 79 patients had complete data at 12 months (42 in the video film and 37 in the usual care group). Mean fatigue severity and school absenteeism scores did not differ significantly, but in the intervention group the score for reduced motivation was higher (difference 2.9 (CI 0.1 to 5.7), p=0.038). 18% more patients in the intervention compared to the usual care group also had persistent fatigue with significant school absence. The odds of developing persistent fatigue and of missing >50% of school classes was 3.3 times higher in the intervention than in the usual care group (OR 3.3 (CI 1.0 to 11.3), p=0.046). Conclusion This particular video film intervention plus usual care in children and adolescents with unexplained fatigue did not prevent an unfavourable outcome and possibly had an adverse effect in that it reduced motivation and increased the incidence of persistent fatigue with significant school absence. The use of this particular film is not recommended.

B.j.-only, mini-bukkake action, in which the grand money shot is where the sizzle really comes into play, as the actual blowjobs aren't worth writing home to Mom about. Sure the girls savor the cocks with a lot of spit and affection, but the real deep sucking just isn't there for the most part. The sizzle is also depleted by the director's constant chatter, and nagging suspicion that several of the cum loads might be something other than actual male ejaculate.
Jasmine Tame taking on four guys does a decent enough job with her sucking, but it's Haley Scott going down on four black cocks that really makes one sit up and take notice. She has great energy as she swallows them as best as she can, choking down one after the other with exert conviction, giving her performance her all.

By Ms. Maureen Rose (IMCOM)March 6, 2014
Maj. Gen. Jeff Smith, the commander of U.S. Army Cadet Command and Fort Knox, will pass the flag to Brig. Gen. Peggy Combs in a change of command ceremony in Waybur Theater today at 10 a.m.
During his tenure, Smith has overseen the turbulence of change that has flooded over Fort Knox for the last five years, although his command time was considerably shorter. Nevertheless, much of the ripple effects of earlier bomb shells were still spreading and Smith--not a passive bystander--drove some of the alterations himself.
One of his major contributions is the co-location of Cadet Command?'s training programs. While the Leader?'s Training Course has always been conducted at Fort Knox, the Leader Development and Assessment Course has been executed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., for many years. But in the Army?'s environment of fiscal constraint, that didn?'t make sense and Smith made the case for change to the Secretary of the Army and hit a home run in the process.
?"It made all the sense in the world," Smith said. ?"(That move) enabled me to gain efficiencies and effectiveness on the two summer training courses…I can use the same cadre and just run committees and synchronize the effort if I have everybody in one location."
Not only did moving the LDAC course to Knox make sense from a logistics standpoint, it saved money on several levels. Being centrally located in the U.S., the Kentucky location will reduce travel expenses for cadets and cadre.
?"At the end of the day, it?'s about a $9 million that we?'re able to avoid by consolidating training," he said.
Not only will all ROTC cadets see Fort Knox during their summer training--roughly 8,000 this summer alone--but a good number of their parents will visit for graduations. That?'s another significant impact for and to the installation.
As the gap widens between those who serve and the general population, fewer and fewer Americans understand the Army. Smith said Cadet Command commissions 70 percent of the Army?'s officers, so more and more Americans--the officers themselves as well as their family members--will draw their impressions of the Army from what they see at Fort Knox.
?"First impressions are always lasting ones and my vision for Fort Knox and Army Cadet Command is for this to be a world class experience," he said. ?"Being able to expose (visitors) to what a military installation is like, what a community that supports its military is like--they can take that back to their own states and towns and be advocates for the Army. There?'s a tremendous potential here."
While on Fort Knox, Smith said all the cadets and many of their family members will be able to visit the Gen. George S. Patton Museum of Leadership and hopefully learn lessons from its futuristic augmented reality exhibits. Those lessons will also accompany the cadets back to their college campuses.
?"There?'s a lot of goodness to that," Smith said.
Not only has Smith managed to consolidate the cadets?' summer training, but he has fired an initiative that extends far beyond where the training will happen. His vision has been dubbed BOLD (for Basic Officer Leader Development) Transformation and is a fairly complex process that will address the training?'s how, why and when.
?"Learning sciences have changed," Smith said and his proposals will take advantage of those changes, implementing as many techniques as possible to demand faster, sooner and more extensive learning from college cadets.
The BOLD Transformation will also incorporate changes within the Army and prepare cadets for the operational environment of the future. The curriculum will be revised to arm the cadets with Soldier skills as well as academic skills to critically think through the nation?'s challenges. With the drawdown in Afghanistan, Smith said battle-experienced warriors will become available as instructors to ROTC programs and ensure the training is realistic and effective.
All in all, Smith said,the quality of life at Fort Knox has seen improvements and the community support for Knox citizens is amazing.
?"The community has a lot to be proud of; certainly the surrounding communities have been a big supporter of Fort Knox irrespective of what type of unit or what type of activity the Army has done here," Smith said. ?"They have graciously extended their support and I want to personally thank them for continuing to be pretty agile in running this river with the Army as we downsize and readjust."
He said community attendance at ceremonies is an indicator of support.
?"The people around here bend over backwards--whether it?'s 3 o?'clock in the morning or 10 o?'clock in the morning--to come out and support Soldiers whether they?'re deploying or coming home.
?"People don?'t give of their time and resources unless it means something to them and I think that?'s something the entire community and surrounding counties should be very proud of."
Given the psychological toll that change often inflicts, Smith said many question the future of
Fort Knox. He?'s not worried.
?"The Army absolutely depends on Fort Knox," he said. ?"It?'s an installation with a rich history and it?'s the human capital hub of the Army…and I think that?'s going to endure over time."

Media Letter of the Day
posted by April 19 at 13:32 PMon
Who's Worse? The Shooter or the Media?
Shame on the fucking media! NPR too! The media's response to this shooting [at Virginia Tech] has been so sensationalistic, so sickeningly reactionary and so violence obsessed it boarders on fetishism.
What kind of sick people flock to the scene of such a brutal crime, and immediately begin interviewing children (18 and 19-year-olds) who are in a state of shock, and broadcast their images across the world? Within hours, they have swarmed upon this college community with a total and complete disregard for the well being of the people. It's sick!
What is the media's excuse? They look as though they're foaming at the mouth! The reporters get to flex their acting muscles, putting on their condescending and phony gestures of disgust and solemn remorse. All the while, they fail to hide the gleam of excitement and anticipation in their eyes. They report on the tiniest minutiae as though they were unlocking the secrets to the universe. Are they providing the news? Hell, no! They're creating a story to sell to us, in the form of a reality show; one that everyone will watch, full of drama, mystery and violence. Their purpose is singular: get people to watch so they can make more money. Then the whole event becomes a platform for the media to push the political agenda's of their corporate sponsors.
And of course, there is everything that is not talked about, which could fill the pages of several books. Although public buildings in Iraq are being bombed daily it is reported on as a mere sideline. "Stocks fell 50 points today, continuing to feed rumors of a recession. In Iraq, 27 women and children were killed today when a car bomb exploded just outside a Baghdad hospital. (Momentary pause) In local news, Gov. Christine Gregoire discusses the potential for public funding of a new Sonics Stadium…."
Now, I'm waiting for the impending rise in hate crimes towards anyone of Asian descent. This will be reported with that familiar tone of shock, and the media will exclaim that it is non-sense such violent behavior could occur in this day and age. All the while, the elephant sits in the middle of the room getting fatter and fatter as it gorges itself on a super-sized helping of ignorance and a side of corporate propaganda. If this had happened in any other part of the world (England excluded, maybe…actually, probably not) it would be just another sidebar, given the same airtime as would be given news of a movie star's admittance to rehab, or a government official being charged for tax evasion. All of which is given less airtime then either sports or the weather. So, why can't I turn the goddamn news off? Its like watching a car wreck. I'm compelled to do it! I'm caught in the media tractor beam. Help!

Reviews for First Chance Foundation
This organization is all about having Angels on earth. First Chance is right there to come in and help in any way they can. These volunteers don't think twice when children are in need. Whatever the need, they try and help with a yes! One of my families was in need and this organization within 24 hours was there to help, support and provide, giving a single father of 4 the extra strength needed to push and push through. Thank you First Chance Foundation for being the light tha shines brightly in so many lives.
WOW! What can we say to that, but WOW! Serving those in need is a gift we are given. Some may see it as work, but we believe God works through us to reach those He needs helped. So while we don't see ourselves as angels, instead servants, we are glad to know that His light is shining through! <3
The First Chance Foundation is professional and compassionate. The are generous with their resources and take their position as a leading Foundation very seriously. They change lives and truly impact the community.
We are glad that our passion is truly seen by those we serve!
My experience with First Chance is two-fold. I have participated in one of their activities as a volunteer--making fun fleece winter hats for the kids who need them. And now, as a new foster parent, I have been a recipient of their kind works when Heather showed up at my home with a First Chance Care Package for our new foster child! First Chance is such a true blessing for individuals and organizations who are working to help children in need. The gifts of love, support, time, and resources that First Chance provides for children and the organizations who serve them are generous and unconditional. For First Chance, Heather, and Clint, the children are really all that matter...fulfilling their needs...even down to the smallest of details like socks or hair bows. First Chance is truly an outstanding organization with a heart of gold.
More Feedback
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Never say never ... right? Who would've have ever thought that a volunteer of ours would become a recipient? We didn't, but we are so glad you did and that we are able to help. Thank you for your kind words! We look forward to working with you again!(through both assistance and volunteering)

The future, in the case of compact cameras is somewhat predictable.
Let's try and deduce from the past, what to expect in the near future.
The Past as a mirror of the Future
The compact camera yearly timeline has several deep marks on it. All large camera companies have two or three set dates in which they announce new models. This makes it easy to foresee what's around the corner.
January and February of 2010 gave us 8 new Canon PowerShots, 13 new FujiFilm Finepix's, 8 new Nikon Coolpix's, 13 new Panasonic Lumix's, 12 new Sony Cyber-shots and 8 new Olympus cameras.
In 2011, 10 new Canon PowerShots, 16 new FujiFilm FinePix's, 8 new Nikon Coolpix's, 12 new Panasonic Lumix's, 13 new Sony Cyber-shots and 9 new Olympus cameras were announced on January and February.
What have we got…
So far, FujiFilm was the only company to fill their beginning-of-the-year quota, with no less than 17 new FinePix cameras announced.
The rest have given us no more than a taste, with 5 new Lumix's from Panasonic, 5 new cameras from Olympus, 3 new PowerShots from Canon (including the mighty G1X!) and 3 new Cyber-shots from Sony.
It's the time of the Compact Zooms
The most interesting models coming just around the corner are the replacements for the compact zooms – the Canon PowerShot SX230, the Sony Cyber-shot HX9V, the Nikon Coolpix S9100 and the Panasonic Lumix ZS10.
These models, like all their predecessors, have been announced at this time of the year, so we can expect a PowerShot SX240, a Cyber-shot HX10V, a Coolpix S9200 and a Lumix ZS12 in a few weeks at the most.
The Cyber-shot HX9V has already been mostly out of stock in recent weeks (as well as the HX100V), creating an eager anticipation for the HX10V to be announced.
Specific Dates
The ZS10 and the ZS7 a year before, were announced on January 25th/26th of 2011 and 2010, so the ZS12, if that's its name, is the first we should be waiting for.
The SX230, as the SX210 a year before, was announced on February 7th.
The HX9V was announced on February 1st and the Coolpix S9100 was announced on February 9th.
You see what this means, right?
Forecast for February – Rain!
We are about to be flooded. I foresee a tsunami of compact cameras coming our way. Fuji gave us a taste of what's coming and the rest are sure to follow. Don't say I didn't warn you.
As always, I'll update when I hear anything, so stay tuned.
Update (February 1st, 2012): The x20 zoom Panasonic Lumix ZS20 and the x18 zoom Nikon Coolpix S9300 have been announced! Now waiting for Canon and Sony to join the party.
Update (February 3rd, 2012): The Canon PowerShot SX260 joins the x20 zoom party, as well as nine more Canon PowerShots, including the wi-fi enabled ELPH 320 & ELPH 530 and the new rugged PowerShot D20.
Update (February 28th, 2012): With a single day to spare for not spoiling my premonition, Sony released nine new Cyber-shots, including the x16 zoom HX10V, the x20 zoom HX20V and (wi-fi enabled) HX30V and the mighty x30 zoom HX200V, replacing the HX100V. Also included in the release are the rugged TX20 and the slim x10 zoom WX150.

I have the IE7 emulater tag in a jsp layout. But when I bring up the page, it defaults to the IE8 view until the user clicks the Compatibility View button. I don't want the user to have to click the button to launch compatibility mode. Is there a way to force IE7 Emulation on pageLoad? I'd even like to disable the button (or any potential to toggle between IE8 standard mode/IE7 view). Thanks!
Update: Now the button seems to have disappeared entirely, but still defaults to IE8 standards. Where did it go?! The toolbar context menu has it as selected, but the tools dropdown menu has it grayed out. For my purposes, it is unacceptable for the user to have to use the developer tools or even click the button to trigger emulation, but I don't know why the button disappeared anyway...
Update #2: Seems a Group Policy patch disabled the button from the browser... solves the disappearing button issue, but the original problem remains: How can I force IE7 emulation on pageLoad of an IE8 browser?

newsroom. you're in the cnn newsroom. i'm gary tuchman in for frederica whitfield. nine days and counting. a searing heat wave affecting a huge section of the united states is once again creating dangerous conditions from the midwest to the eastern seaboard. temperatures so high they are literally causing roads to buckle. in wisconsin, this warped road actually sent an suv flying into the air. that is a true picture. that is not made up. the heat is especially dangerous for people who don't have power and that is the situation facing hundreds of thousands of people who lost electricity during a major storm one week ago. and we have reporters covering all angles of this story. let's start now with meteorologist alexandra steele in the cnn weather center. how hot is it around the country today? >> i'll give you the two hot spots thus far. what do you think st. louis hit so far, gary? >> st. louis has hit, i can see
1:01 pm
it so i can cheat. 106 degrees. >> well, that was actually the forecast. >> oh, i see. i would say 107 degrees. >> 106. you were right the first time. >> okay. >> and rockford, illinois hit 105. those were all last hour. that was kind of the apex of the heat. the numbers are coming down. both records for the day. incredible heat. kansas city 103. these were the expectations for highs. even washington at 103. it was feeling like 107 last hour. so the heat is certainly on but there is relief in sight. it is coming at a price. i'll show you what that price is. there's the cold front or cool front, cooler air behind it. chicago at 100 yesterday. 82 degrees by tomorrow. so certainly nice, needed relief there. 101 tomorrow in washington but then we'll continue to see this cooling trend from sunday into monday and thus far as even heading into tuesday things cooling off more. chicago down to 81. who would have thought 89 degrees in st. louis would be like cool relief, right? 84 in washington. 89 in columbus.
1:02 pm
but, again, it is coming at a price and that price, showers and thunderstorms, severe thunderstorm watch boxes, posted. you can see including new york city and pittsburgh and also north of philadelphia. washington, d.c. has the threat as well. and this is what we're seeing. watch this kind of get its act together right here. this is current radar so the potential today, gary, will be for some severe thunderstorms but it's really with the wind. we will see some wind damage by the end of today with this. we will see the cool relief. >> by next weekend you expect it to be more pleasant. >> absolutely. more or less average on the east coast but another heat wave and dome of high pressure is brewing in the west that will make its way eastward. out of the woods for now but bank on a steamy summer. >> alexandra, thank you and nice seeing you today. >> sure. >> well, cooler temperatures ahead as you just heard. that's good news for the people suffering through an entire week of triple digit temperatures with no air conditioning.
1:03 pm
cnn's emily schmidt joins us live from virginia. the entire d.c. area, maryland, virginia, the district extremely hard hit by these storms. how are people coping right now? >> you know, people are still talking about where were you when your power went back on and the sad reality is for thousands of people in this area they still detainee have an answer to that. even here in springfield, virginia where the power came back on july 3rd here is one reason why. look at this extending across someone's front yard to the front door. today a heat record is on the line and with so many days in this heat there is just no way to avoid it. take, for example, the world war ii memorial in washington. a lot of families had planned that trip for months, so regardless of the temperature tourists grabbed their water bottles. they put on light clothing. they tried to think of cooler times. >> it's been over a week. actually, i have never been so excited for 80-degree weather. this has been tough and we try to find the air conditioning as,
1:04 pm
you know, when we can, and stay in the shade. >> and it's more than just discomfort that comes into play. certainly this weather has brought with it some real dangers. metro, the transportation system that is in the washington, d.c. area, is blaming a train derailment of three cars that happened during rush hour yesterday on the heat. the state of maryland is also now reporting nine deaths they blame on the heat that occurred just since july 2nd. >> i imagine you're encountering a lot of people who are plenty peeved, right? >> yeah. they really are. and they're afraid it could happen again. people afraid to fill up their freezers because they hear there could be another storm on the way. they don't necessarily trust the utility companies. at this point they're afraid of going through this in a round two. >> emily schmidt, thank you very much for joining us. we appreciate it. an historic vote taking place in the nation of libya today. the country's first free election since the downfall of the gadhafi regime. voters are electing a national assembly responsible for
1:05 pm
appointing a transitional government. polls closed about two hours ago. voter turnout much heavier than expected. in spain, the annual running of the bulls is on. six runners including a 73-year-old man were hurt on the first day. we hear these stories every year. unusual to hear about a man at that age being hurt. not critically, we understand. the races will be held for eight straight days. they end on bastille day, july 14th. inmates at a texas prison say they are constitutionally protected from the heat, and they're going to court. our legal guys take on the case. and a mystery disease has killed more than 60 children in cambodia. health investigators are trying to figure out exactly what is going on. for business. [ beeping ] in here, data knows what to do. because the network finds it and tailors it across all the right points, automating all the right actions, to bring all the right results. [ whirring and beeping ]
1:06 pm
it's the at&t network -- doing more with data to help business do more for customers. ♪ to help business do more for customers. homicide of young people in america has an impact on all of us. how can we save these young people's lives? as a police chief, i have an opportunity to affect what happens in a major city. if you want to make a difference, you have to have the right education. university of phoenix opened the door.
1:07 pm
my name is james craig, i am committed to making a difference, and i am a phoenix. visit phoenix.edu to find the program that's right for you. enroll now. the legal guys are here. we'll look at the case of the over heated prisoners in texas. avery, what is your take? >> coddling criminals with air conditioning or cruel and unusual punishment? we've gotd the answ the answers and more. >> richard? what do you have to say? >> gary, a few possible casualties heat related will not rise to the level of a constitutional violation for the tough texas prison system. >> back with the legal guys in 90 seconds. our abundant natural gas is already saving us money, producing cleaner electricity, putting us to work here in america and supporting wind and solar.
1:08 pm
though all energy development comes with some risk, we're committed to safely and responsibly producing natural gas. it's not a dream. america's natural gas... putting us in control of our energy future, now. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] you've been years in the making. and there are many years ahead. join the millions of members who've chosen an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. go long.
1:09 pm
isn't cruel and unusual punishment -- is it cruel and unusual punishment to deny air conditioning to prisoners during the summer or is discomfort what convicted prisoners deserve? in one south prison a lawsuit says the indoor temperature exceeded 120 degrees fahrenheit for ten days. last summer prisoners died at other prisons due to heat related causes and a lawsuit has been filed in one of those deaths. let's bring in avery friedman, civil rights attorney and law professor in cleveland and richard herman new york defense attorney and law professor joining us from miami. thank you very much for joining us. this is a very provocative
1:10 pm
topic. inmates and advocates are saying over heated conditions violate the eighth amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. avery, what's your take on that? >> yeah. i think this week may answer the question coming up shortly. there was a three judge federal appeals panel, which rejected the question of foreseeability, negligence. but the court seemed to be very concerned about this question. how many more people have to die? that was the statement by one of the federal appeals judges before we take a look at doing something about the 21 of the 111 state prisons in texas. i think the three judge panel is going to say, gary, it is cruel and unusual punishment. 126 degrees. 143 degrees. it's time to do something about that. >> richard, prison officials accused of not providing fans, ventilation, water, refusing to follow local and national prison standards. texas law i understand requires counties to maintain temperatures between 65 and 85
1:11 pm
degrees, but this is what's interesting. the law does not apply to state prisons, right? >> it does not apply to state prisons, gary. you are exactly right. i don't think the circuit court is going to come down as hard as avery thinks. i think they may make some remedial suggestions to provide fans and cups but this is texas. don't mess with texas. a very, very tough senting state. i don't know what percentage of people in texas have fully air conditioned homes. these individuals are incarcerated. there's a purpose for incarceration. deterrence, protect the public. should be a just punishment. i understand that. but whether it really rises to the level, this gentleman was 345 pounds. his body temperature was 109 degrees, gary, so the conditions are deplorable. >> i want to read to you what the state of texas is saying. steps are taken to address heat, outside activity restricted, frequent water breaks provided,
1:12 pm
allow additional showers, permit inmates to wear shorts. fans and blowers used. some people might argue there are millions of people in the united states who don't have air conditioning in their homes why should inmates? >> nothing to do with it, gary. the issue isn't whether or not we've made prisoners comfortable. that's not the issue. the issue is whether or not the extreme temperatures of 120, 130, 140 degrees constitute cruel and unusual punishment. i think it does. i think there are ways of addressing it and that's why the three-judge panel is going to order texas to make some changes in those 21 prisons. >> okay. we move on now to another topic. a man sentenced to 162 years in prison with no parole for an armed robbery spree that started when he was 18. this was his first offense. the u.s. supreme court ruled last week that a state cannot mandate a life sentence without parole for juveniles convicted of murder. is there a similar argument in this case, richard? >> well, gary, the judge, the
1:13 pm
sentencing judge clearly has discretion here. he's not bound by the mandatory minimum requirements. however, this judge had his hump up against this defendant here and stacked the sentences, which led to this incredible sentence. for a first-time offender to get this sentence, you know, the rules in federal court especially are the early bird gets the worm. all the other coconspirator, codefendants with him ran in with their attorneys. they won cut deals because their lawyers advised them they were facing a prison sentence like this. however, this gentleman decided, his attorney advised i guess not to go in and make a deal. incredibly stupid move. and look at the sentence he's got. there is no way he is going to get out. he is going to have to become a rat to get out. he may not have any information to provide the government. and he will die in prison. >> avery, the prosecutor in the case says davis was violent, fired shots, brandished a gun, threatened to kill at least one man and during the trial he was
1:14 pm
described as learning disabled bipolar and five other accomplices cut plea deals and were given sentences from 9 to 22 years. davis says he was never offered a plea deal. is this fair that a guy like this faces all his entire natural life in prison is what the effect of this will be? >> well, the argument being made in the court of appeals is whether or not a 162-year sentence constitutes an eighth amendment violation, cruel and unusual. gary, this isn't a first offender. this is a first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh offender with a gun shooting at people. five witnesses testified against him. i don't think in a million years that you'll ever see a federal appeals court conclude that this constitutes cruel, unusual punishment. sorry that he did it once or three times or six times or seven times. he did it, unfortunately, there are sentencing rules which are going to come under review by congress but absent
1:15 pm
congressional action to modify things which i don't think is realistic, that sentence is going to stand. >> gary, i tell you, i have personal, first-hand experience with the 11th circuit in atlanta on appeals where they upheld an 845-year prison term on a white collar insurance fraud. 845 on a white collar insurance fraud. upheld by the 11th circuit. there is no chance they're going to overturn this one. >> the moral of the story -- >> i agree -- crime does not pay, right? >> that's right. >> the moral of the story is don't shoot people and try it seven times. i think that's what this case is about. it's pretty easy. >> the second moral to the story. avery and richard, thank you. the legal guys are on top of their game. watch more every saturday at noon eastern time right here on cnn. a mysterious disease is killing dozens of children. world health investigators want to know what it is and why it
1:16 pm
kills so quickly. we're on the story in cambodia. tomorrow dr. sanjay gupta introduces us to a woman hoping to inspire the next generation of innovators on his show "the next list" dr. gupta profiles the founder of something called little bits. it's sort of like the high tech version of lego blocks. i'm an engineer and the founder of little bits. these are little bits. a little bits is a system of electronic modules that snap together with magnets to teach kids about electronics and science and technology. one of my favorite things is seeing the first time people interact with little bits. they take their two pieces, they snap the two pieces together and a light comes on and then suddenly their face lights up. suddenly, you feel like a whole world of imagination opened up to them and they're able to imagine what's possible.
1:17 pm
>> now that is cool. tune in tomorrow to watch the next list or set your dvr for 2:00 p.m. eastern time. a route map shows you where we go. but not how we get there. because in this business, there are no straight lines. only the twists and turns of an unpredictable industry. so the eighty-thousand employees at delta... must anticipate the unexpected. and never let the rules overrule common sense. this is how we tame the unwieldiness of air travel, until it's not just lines you see... it's the world. i have to know the weather patterns. i upgraded to the new sprint direct connect. so i can get three times the coverage. [ chirp ] [ manager 2 ] it's like working in a giant sandbox

[ chirp ] [ chirp ] [ male announcer ] upgrade to the new "done." with access to the fastest push-to-talk and three times the coverage. now when you buy one kyocera duracore rugged phone, for $49.99, you'll get four free. visit a sprint store, or call 855-878-4biz. [ chirp ] a mystery illness is killing children in cambodia. at least 61 kids have died. many of them under 3 years old. the symptoms include respiratory problems and a swelling of the brain. we'll go to phnom penh for details about the outbreak. >> reporter: when we went down
1:19 pm
to the hospital there were lines of people standing outside but many of them were there for other reasons such as the denge fever or the children for example had some respiratory problems. they were not for the most part aware of this new syndrome that seems to be out there that is particularly deadly and that's concerning to those health organizations who are trying to get the word out that if your child has, for example, fever, that if your child has difficulty breathing or near logical problems, drowsiness, unable to respond, that the child is brought to the hospital immediately. the difficulty here is the world health organization and the ministries of health here in cambodia just do not know exactly what they're dealing with. they have determined that this is not sars and this is not bird flu but this is some sort of deadly syndrome that is going around and they're trying to figure out exactly how dangerous it is and how it spreads.
1:20 pm
>> it is difficult to assess how dangerous it is if we don't know what we're dealing with and this is the focus of our investigation. get to know what we are dealing with and then we'll be able to take the appropriate measures. >> reporter: so you hear there again that the world health organization and the ministries of health here just don't know exactly what this is. this might be, for example, a combination of different illnesses that has proven to be quite deadly. what they're trying to do's disseminate information through television and radio, any way they can, first to the health providers, which has been relatively easy, but then also to the people. of the people we spoke with who were standing in line outside the hospital a lot of them had just never heard of this. there were a few that had whose children had fever. that's why they brought them to the hospital. this is just a very serious situation, one that a lot of parents would be concerned about as you might imagine especially
1:21 pm
those parents who have children under the age of 3. those are the groups of people that are dying from this disease and dying very rapidly. sara sidner, phnom penh, cambodia. >> thank you very much, sara. right now in the united states gay men cannot donate blood. is now the time to lift that ban? you'll hear from a congressman who wants to change the rules. e to the west, the greatest empires. then, some said, we lost our edge. well today, there's a new new york state. one that's working to attract businesses and create jobs. a place where innovation meets determination... and businesses lead the world. the new new york works for business. find out how it can work for yours at thenewny.com.

1:23 pm
do you give blood? sure it's not much fun with that needle and all but it is a pretty important thing to do if you can. almost all of us will need donated blood at one time or another. donations are almost always needed. but there is a group not allowed to donate blood despite the shortfall. gay men. some people say it's time for that to change. randi kaye talked about it earlier with two guests earlier today. >> the technology has changed so dramatically in blood screening in the last 27 years and we know so much more about risky behavior. remember that what we're proposing is a nuance change to this ban so gay men are allowed to give donations. this is also supported by the american medical association and, by the way, the blood
1:24 pm
banks. the blood banks, themselves, have said, this lifetime ban is medically unwarranted. >> did this ban at one point make sense? >> it did at one time way back at the beginning of the aids epidemic. we really had a terrible impact on people with hemophilia who rely on blood products every day. their population got decimated by aids, just a kind of holocaust among that group. we didn't have good, reliable tests at that time. in fact, we didn't even know what we were looking for at the start of the aids epidemic but it doesn't make much sense today because as the congressman said we have very, very good testing now, saying that you can't donate, if you've had male to male sex since 1977 doesn't make a lot of sense today. did then doesn't now. >> the department of health and human services decided recently to study a possible change in
1:25 pm
donation procedures. southern california is now home to one of america's greatest battle ships, the u.s.s. iowa, opened to the public today as a floating museum. the vessel was built in 1940, 72 years ago, and served the country for more than a half century. earlier in the week sailors who served on the iowa gathered at the port of los angeles to welcome the vessel to its new home. serena williams is a grand slam winner again. she pulled off her fifth wimbledon singles title today after a hard fought battle with poland's player. this is her 14th grand slam crown and her fifth wimbledon title gives her the same number of wimbledon wins as her sister venus. this was the first ever grand slam final for radwanska. i'm dr. sanjay gupta. coming up a radical new treatment for depression. looks like a pacemaker and has two wires that are inserted directly into the brain. on the outside your doctor literally flips a switch. battery powered brains ahead on sgmd. stick around. check it out.
