Forbidden on the battlefield, yet perfectly legal for use against civilian population, tear gas has become an all too familiar sight on news reports lately, says RT's Polly Boyko. But the irritating agents and the way they empower governments to deal summarily with public disobedience raise many considerations. Those vary from practical health risk that the supposedly non-lethal weapons pose towards vulnerable people to the more fundamental question of whether tear gas makes governments more detached from their populations and prone to suppression of civil freedoms. "Tear gas was invented in part to shut people up. This is where communication meets politics. We're talking about a technology, a weapon that actually inhibits people from being able to speak," Anna Feigenbaum, Lecturer in Politics and Media Studies at Bournemouth University argued in an interview with RT. Watch the full report.

When you watch a body-switching comedy such as Big or Freaky Friday, you know immediately that the movie is going to require a huge suspension of disbelief; these are comedy fantasies, after all, and bitching about logic and realistic plotting is the surest way to kill your good time.

Though he tries mighty hard, Ben Affleck isn't quite able to ruin Daredevil, Mark Steven Johnson's screen adaptation of the Marvel comic. Among comic-book fans, the news that Affleck would be portraying the tortured hero – an angry, despressed, and, oh yeah, blind lawyer who, when not losing cases in court, dons leather and kicks bad-guy ass – was met with a collective rolling of the eyes; a friend of mine, upon hearing about the casting, put it succinctly: "Oh great. It's gonna suck."

When a female ejects air through her vagina, similar to passing gas from the anus. These are also known as a quief. The name comes from Minnesota Twins third baseman Trevor Plouffe, who creates a similar air when he swings and misses.
Last night, I freaked out when my wife started to Plouffe during sex.

Hot answers tagged rel
The rel attribute is only for a and link elements. The nofollow value is to keep a web crawler from following that link (which might have affected the linked page's ranking based on your own). It keeps spammers commenting on blog posts from gaining any page ranking from linking from the blog (or discussion forum, etc.). It doesn't make sense for img elements ...
It's just "commentary."
In this case, whoever created that link apparently thinks the person on the other end is a douche. The rel attribute defines the relationship between the current document and the target(href) document.
Consider this a more…aggressive version of the Vote Links microformat. (Just as non-standard, but was an attempt at establishing a ...
The only time that it is mandatory to use rel="nofollow" on a link is if the link is sponsored. If somebody paid you for the link, or if the link is part of an exchange, Google might penalize your site for NOT including a rel="nofollow" on it.
You should also apply nofollow to links that are created by your users without review. Otherwise, they have ...
rel=translation has been proposed but not adopted by the W3C (it's not in the HTML5 working document).
If the words on the pages are different then Google won't penalize you for duplicate content (several people say this in the Webmaster forums). There's lots of advice on multi-language sites in this blog post.
Like I said (dramatically and poorly) in my comments, it is not an acceptable practice. nofollow is designed for webmasters to disavow links on their own website that they do not have editorial control over. The best example of this are blogs with links to the websites of commentors. This was a common source of spam and this allows blogs to allow the users ...
What some people call a "dofollow" link is just a normal link - i.e. a link that does not have the rel="nofollow" attribute. If you use dofollow in the rel attribute of a link, it is simply ignored by search engine spiders.
So, what you want is simply something like this:
target
There is no dofollow (or similar) ...
To inform search engines of alternate language versions of a page, you should use the <link> element with the hreflang attribute, as described in the HTML spec.
<LINK title="The manual in Dutch" rel="alternate" hreflang="nl" href="http://someplace.com/manual/dutch.html">
These links go in the head so are not visible to normal users. For users ...
Is my juice leaking?
From your last question I think that maybe your ideas might be confused regarding link juice leaking.
According to my understanding of this Matt Cutts' article (that I suggest you to read):
Your link juice leaks out because of any link you place on your page, even if the link uses the rel="nofollow".
The only difference using ...
The answer is you should allow links that are trusted to not have the rel no follow tag. There are a couple of reasons:
Your link juice is always divided between all the links on your page including, the links with the rel no follow tag. The link juice just isn't sent to through the links to the external sites with the no follow tags. The point of rel no ...
According to Matt Cutts links to quality external sites is part of Google's algorithm.
Not to mention, if every site did this imagine what the state of search engines would be like? Quality of search results would suffer tremendously. Be a good webmaster and help the search engines do a better job.
Pull up the two Google profiles in consecutive tabs. Switch to the "About" tab in both. See how yours has that "Other profiles" section at right, with a link back to scirra.com? Ashley's doesn't.
The verification process looks at the Google profile page for a backlink to the claiming site. See here, second bullet under "Associate your content with your ...
The official link types as defined by the W3C specify the following for HTML 4.01:
In HTML 5 the W3C appear to have handed off registration and management of these link types to the microformats folks. See section 184.108.40.206` Other link types:
Extensions to the predefined set of link types may be ...
It has no meaning assigned to it in any published specification. It may have been agreed on in some community, or it may have special meaning to some software, or it may be just someone's idea of a joke. There are various rel values around, but anything that is not listed in the Microformats Microformats Wiki existing rel values page probably isn't worth ...
rel="me" links are treated the same as any other links, with the added functionality that they tell Google that the two linking pages represent the same person.
Ideally they should be reciprocal links, so you should have one on your website linking back to your profile on http://www.squidoo.com/.
Something like this:
John Sanjay has also written <a ...
You cannot use rel canonical on a
. Google only recognizes the rel canonical meta tag in the  of a document. They have this policy to minimize the risk that websites have rel canonical tags added in the middle of the body due to cross site scripting (XSS) attacks.
If you have a div that has content from another source, a user ...
What I tend to do is write a conditional (or do do it by hand if it's a static HTML site) so that on the home page it says:
My site
but on all other pages it says:
My site
That way you get the benefit of the link juice from the home page (which is ...
This is neither valid nor will it have any positive effect. The rel and href attributes are mainly used on a or link tags, not on div. The usage of canonical is explained in this post.
It might just be a matter of time until Google crawls and indexes them without rel="canonical", but the following might help:
Use the Fetch as Google tool to trigger crawling for the updated URLs (follow the steps there).
In your sitemap, indicate the last modification date by supplying the lastmod attribute.
Also in your sitemap, specify the priority ...
Keep in mind that if Googlebot sees a nofollow on a link on a page, then it treats every link on the page with that same URL as nofollow.
Consider this senario: You have two links on the page to myotherpage.html. The first link has the anchor text "Click Here" because it is prominent to users and usability testing shows that having action words ...
Our best guess is the following:
1) For pages 2, 3, and beyond we should have a canonical which preserves the query string. For example:
/ca/en/my-product?reviewpage=2 will have a rel="canonical" href="/us/en/my-product?reviewpage=2" since they show the EXACT same content (in our case).
2 & 3) For page 1, we should have a canonical target that gets us ...
The link type author is defined in HTML5:
[…] the author keyword indicates that the referenced document provides further information about the author […]
So you can use any kind of URI that is "about" the author. This can be a personal website, a profile on a third party website (e.g. a social network profile or a gaming network profile), a page about ...
As a safer approach, I would use a Google+ page (not profile) + rel="publisher" instead, it may not give the wished results (profile picture + number of +'s in search results), but could allow some other right side info to appear.
You may notice that all these bloggers that appear in search results have their real name and most often their real face photo ...
Doesn't matter. You should just use your Google+ profile URL anyway - i.e. <link rel="author" href="https://plus.google.com/profileid"> in your site header. You could also do this in an  tag somewhere on the page.
edit: as heytools noted however, using anything besides your real name on a Google+ profile constitutes a TOS violation. See ...
I think you should know the meaning and usage of rel canonical tool better.
rel="canonical" is a tool to prevent duplicate content.
We use it in head section of a page to tell Google that which version of pages (with similar content) is original.
So there is no reason for use it in
 tags of your HTML code.
Try this Official Google Help to use rel="prev" and rel="next" right.
In you situation you should use rel="prev" and rel="next" for your pagination.
You first need to edit your profile (click on "Profile" in the sidebar) so it includes the website in question in your "Contributor to" section.
Then, you need to place a link on any page that you want the Google+ Authorship system to take effect that links to your Google+ profile.
My ...
If I start to utilise Rel="prev" and rel="next" should I set page 2 onwards as index,follow or noindex,follow?
Neither. Use rel="prev" etc. throughout the entire paginated series. Obviously page 1 will only have rel="next", and the last page only rel="prev".
There's no need to use noindex anywhere in a series which uses pagination markup. The whole ...
As far as SEO goes there are not a lot of values officially recognized for the rel attribute when used in the  tag. As far as I know they are:
Google authorship markup
There are other values you can add the rel attribute that do have semantic meaning but they have not been given specific meaning by the search engines. That doesn't mean ...

The flavor of cabbage and apple complement one another beautifully and the addition of mustard seeds adds a bit of bite to this easy to prepare dish. Try serving this cabbage recipe with roast pork. If you want to increase the peppery taste of the mustard, you can add another ½ tsp mustard seeds towards the end of the cooking time. If you don't have any mustard seeds, cook the cabbage and stir in 1-2 tbsp wholegrain mustard.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
- 8 fl oz/250ml unsweetened apple juice
- 8 oz/ 250g red cabbage washed and thinly sliced
- 2 tsp mustard seeds, lightly crushed
- salt and ground black pepper
Pour the apple juice and water into a pan and bring to the boil. Add the red cabbage and crushed mustard seeds. Season well and bring back to the boil. Cover and simmer over a low heat for 10-12 minutes until the cabbage is tender, stirring occasionally.
Drain and serve.

TORONTO - The Toronto Maple Leafs have added another college free agent to their roster.
The NHL team announced Monday that it had signed forward Brayden Irwin to a two-year contract.
The 23-year-old Toronto native will stay with the team for the remainder of the season.
Irwin recently completed his fourth season with the University of Vermont Catamounts, leading the team with 15 goals and 34 points.
The Leafs currently have two former college free agents in their lineup -- forwards Tyler Bozak and Christian Hanson were each signed last spring.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

Where is it?
Who took it down and why?
You need to be a member of Ashtar Command - Spiritual Community Network to add comments!
But Jim, that would not be fair on Greg, as he only has 10 friends, so would not get much feedback from ACC at all...How could he get his pressing answer; "COME ON REALLY? Where is my "remember blog?"
Nobody should complain about ACC policy....Each blog author has responsibility for their own blog...If you are non-technical, don't blame Ben or others.....we each have the power to set parameters....
My advice to Jim is learn about the law of cause and effect....then apply that to what you intend to create in an article...and you will understand why you lost that blog of yours.
Actually, Joseph is a cool dude here on ACC.....!! ;-)
(Now I wonder who will tell me I must be someone else, pretending to be Drekx, as DO doesn't use expressions like "cool dude..." LOL.)
Oh Joseph, you fill my heart up :) I love that the young people at this site are soooo tuned in! :) Haha, and you put things better than I do, which is a treat :)
Also Greg, since you continue to claim a direct contact with Prime Creator, then use it....Find out yourself how your "remember" blog came to a final ending....LOL Why are you asking us for answers...?? Prove you have that connection with yourself...if you can..
As Kelly said; "Greg, talk to Ben himself, don't get your ginger head full of fantasies again."
I agree, in future, try to get along with the purpose of Ben-Arion's website and you won't find your blogs deleted by the admin and vice versa.....and also, Ben will confirm that I did not request he delete your blog, although I approved his actions....he is his own man and has eyes to see for himself....Thanks Ben for such an excellent site... ;-)
evil is when a sane person ( some one who knows the difference between rite and wrong) chooses to do wrong
thank you Joseph
very nice Joseph!
You have a gift. The fact that you understand what others cannot does not amaze me. What does is the fact that you use your gift to help others understand.
:) Now that is love and light!

I have an Acer extensa 5220 laptop, which suddenly decided this morning that it wont turn on any more! It was working perfectly fine, has good anti-virus, etc., and worked fine an hour before but now when it's turned on, the power button goes green and nothing else happens. It's not been dropped or banged, was not plugged into the mains at the time (but can that rule out a surge the last time it was plugged in?)There is not even a flicker on the screen, the fan doesn't come on, but I think the hard-drive hums. Does anyone have any idea what's wrong with it?
I want to try and avoid bringing it into a shop to be repaired if I can at all.
Any ideas or help will be greatfully appreciated!
Thanks guys,

'Paradise Lost 3,' 'Project Nim,' 'Pina' Make Oscar Documentary Shortlist
The 15 films that made the cut Friday will be pared down to five nominees, which will be announced on Jan. 24.

Table for One (Bowie)
How many of us are tired of, whenever we see our relatives, family saying, "When are you going to get married?" or "When are you going to have kids?" For those who are single, they say, "God, I've been praying and seeking. Why won't you bring somebody?" Is there a personal thing that we can't see ourselves? Is God punishing us? Nobody wants to be the creepy old cat lady. Right? Or Mike, who grows up to play Dungeons & Dragons all his life. Johnson Bowie, at http://www.fusionatl.org/p/12081/Default.aspx, continues his "Know Fear" series by asking the question, "Why are we so afraid of loneliness?" Who are we going to watch Titanic with? For some of us, it's not a relevant fear, but for others of us, it definitely is. Genesis 2 says that it's not good for man to be alone and that we shall be joined as one. But Satan tries to come in and turn that into an idol in our lives. Guys start going to places where they normally wouldn't go and women start advertising themselves to get noticed. We serve what we fear. What ends up happening then is that we end up choosing what looks good instead of choosing God. It's like we fear that God has dropped us into the seat cushions and one day He's going to finally find us. Do we really think He's forgotten us. Why do we live this way? No person or thing is worth dropping our relationship with God. Why do we think that marriage solves all of our problems? Sometimes, our problems actually get worse when we marry. But what many fail to realize is that if we are lustful before marriage we will be lustful after marriage. If we are lonely, then we will probably be more lonely when we marry!! This is because lust and lonliness are both SPIRITUAL issues. They are issues because we have a hole in our hearts that needs to be filled. In Genesis, it says that we will be bound as one in marriage. But so many people thing that it is simple math. Half a person plus half a person is a whole peron. But it's not addition, it's multiplication. See, a saved, redeemed person going after Jesus times one saved, redeemed person going after Jesus equals one!! But one jacked-up, broken half of a person times one jacked-up, broken half of a person equals 1/4 of a person!! We can't be completed by someone in marriage if we aren't whole. Forget Jerry Macquire's "You complete me." It's a load of crap! Only God can do this as we see in Philippians 1:7. God answers our prayers and stays with us when we need Him. We have to learn to be satisfied as single person before we can be satisfied as a married person. Johnson loves his son, Jeremiah, but as a father he has learned so much about how God sees us. He used to think that God would bless Him with everything he wanted. But, as a father, it's much easier to understand why a BAD father would be one who gives us what we want without the relationship. The Bible says that God is a good Father, but he won't give us something that will ruin our relationship with Him. Why would He do that? He is not afraid to pull people out of our lives, nor is He afraid to bring people into our lives. Are we trying to find "the One" or are we trying to become the One worth finding. We can only do that by going to the One; Jesus Christ.

PDF of TDOT's rendering of improvements to the intersection of Highway 46 and Walnut St./Highway 47.
No physical changes are planned for the intersection of Highway 46 with Walnut Street and Highway 47 under the Tennessee Department of Transportation's proposed Traffic System Management plan. The current configuration of a left-turn lane, a through-traffic lane and a combination through-traffic and right-turn lane is proposed to remain for each direction. The $8.3 million plan does call for the reconstruction of the traffic signal system to allow for eight-phase operation that includes permitted and protected left-turn signals on each approach. The intersection currently does not have a protected left-turn signal for westbound traffic on Highway 47. A protected left-turn signal is an arrow that allows only turning traffic while through traffic remains stopped. A permitted left-turn signal allows left turns to be made when there is no oncoming through traffic. The plan also calls for the installation of actuated pedestrian signals and marked crosswalks across each leg. TDOT has already begun survey work for the proposal, which includes changes at more than a dozen intersections on Highway 46 from Interstate 40 to Henslee Drive.

The work of merging the School of Library and Information Science with the School of Informatics and Computing will come to fruition in July 2013, Provost Lauren Robel announced in her State of the Campus address."Change isn't always easy or pleasant," Robert Schnabel, dean of SoIC, said. "But this one has been easy and pleasant."According to Robel, Schnabel and SLIS Dean Debora Shaw, no cuts to either school's faculty or staff are planned."The staff from both schools are working together to look at ways to share expenses," Shaw said in an email. "We see the economic benefits in terms of academic synergies that will provide opportunities for growth."Both schools are planning for growth at the graduate level."We plan on creating a master's in data science, and we would like to be able to make a graduate certificate," Schnabel said.According to Schnabel, students that are farther along in their student career will be unaffected by the change."For SLIS students it opens up whole new career paths," Robel said. "My brother got a degree from SLIS in the '80s and he works at CISCO now. Librarians have to be data specialists, so this makes a ton of sense."Both Schnabel and Shaw said there will also be no financial cost to IU due to this merger. "You have to realize that informatics is a growing field and we are a healthy organization," Schnabel said.Schnabel said the merging of these topped rank schools will create one of the largest and most prestigious informatics schools in the U.S. SLIS was ranked seventh in the U.S. based on academic quality as decided by deans, program directors and faculty members in 2009 by the U.S. News and World Report. Also, SoIC was named a top IT school to watch by Computerworld magazine in 2008."This is an exciting time for our field," Shaw said in an email. "Adding breadth and depth by creating this larger school will help our students prepare for challenging careers that will make a difference."

Baidu: Searching for growth in China
Despite Wall Street skepticism, this remains one Chinese stock worth buying.
Chinese search provider Baidu (BIDU) reported its third-quarter results last week; the top line grew at its slowest pace in three years and its fourth-quarter guidance was below Wall Street's expectations.
That aside, Baidu still reported results that other companies would envy. Revenue grew by 50% and profit by nearly 60% as the company added a record number of business customers.
In addition to dealing with a slowdown in China's economic growth, Baidu faces new competition from Qihoo 360 Technology, maker of China's most popular Web portal.
However, concerns about Qihoo strike us as a bit overdone. Baidu is so dominant in the China search market -- with a 78.6% market share -- the entrance of a smaller competitor is unlikely to dramatically alter its position.
Baidu still has a lot of opportunity in front of it. The exploding growth of smartphones in China dramatically increases the size of the potential market. Navigating the switch from a PC-based search business to a mobile one is daunting, but no more daunting for Baidu than it is for Google in the U.S.
We think that growth potential more than offsets any concerns investors might have about slower economic growth in China as a whole and increased competition. Excluding its $8.44 per share in net cash and investments, Baidu now trades at a bit above 16 times the 2013 EPS consensus, making it a fairly inexpensive growth stock in our view.
Investing in China has its risks, but Baidu is one of the few Chinese stocks we'd consider buying, especially down at these levels.

Subaru of Japan, which makes plain vanilla SUVs, conservative sedans, a small sports car, and a few raucous rally-inspired high performance machines which will shake your fillings out, on Tuesday unveiled the new 2015 WRX STI at the Detroit auto show, which definitely falls into the latter category.
Powered by a 305-hp 2.5-liter turbocharged flat-four cylinder engine, the new rally-bred WRX STI debuts a new four-door, wide-body design built on a stiffer chassis for better handling. All-wheel drive is standard, Subaru of America said at the car�s launch at the Detroit car show.
The WRX STI has a 6-speed manual transmission. There is a powertrain management system which allows the driver to tailor the car�s driving characteristics by choosing from among three selectable modes � �Intelligent,� �Sport� and �Sport Sharp� � using a rotary dial on the center console. Expect most WRX STI drivers to leave this in �Sport Sharp.�
A one-inch longer wheelbase than the previous WRX STI helps provide a roomier cabin. The windshield is more raked than before. Lower side sills and wider-opening doors make access easier. �Welcome Lighting� responds to the driver approaching the car. Performance details weren�t revealed.
Price details were not given, although the company said they would be in line with current ones.
Subaru of America is owned by Fuji Heavy Industries of Japan.

Hi. I saw a small amount of discussion on the problem and was wondering if there's a fix (or workaround?) for the problem of Dreamweaver CS6 incorrectly setting file permissions on some files when uploading?
It's happening pretty regularly for me—about half the time I upload files, the permissions are set incorrectly to 7XX (I can't remember exactly), so I have to manually check every file and change about half to 644.
Any help would be appreaciated.
(DW 12.0 on OSX 10.8, connecting to Apache shared servers)
I don't know if the permissions problem is fixed as I never experienced it. But Adobe released a critical update a few days ago that addresses many FTP issues.
http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/downloads_updaters.html#dwcs6 12712
Nancy O.
I'm bumping this thread because DW 12.0 is still intermittently setting permissions incorrectly for files uploaded to remote servers.
Today it set a JPG to '0' and a PDF to '1'. Previously I think I'd only seen 7xx when it set permissions incorrectly.
The hosting setup of today's issue was pretty different to the last time I had this happen, so I can't see any real similarity on that end (Australian-based shared cPanel hosting vs U.S. based VPS hosting). Plus these issues have only started since upgrading to CS6 (and Mountain Lion).
I did install the update listed above, which I presumed to have fixed the issue, but it turns out not be the case.
Any suggestions?
This issue has plagued us for a very long time. Old versions of DW, I think 4 and earlier, there was a command window where you could enter the umask command to set things properly. I believe umask should be set to 022.
Our admins tell us they has sftp setup correctly and this change is set at the client side. This is certainly true for sftp. If we were allowed to ssh in then things would be different.
We've been using FileZilla to set permissions and traverse a directory tree to set proper permissions. What a pain, but it is a workaround for now!
DW - please bring back the command window!
The issue I was complaining about has since been fixed in an update. Dreamweaver now appears to do an extra step when uploading that (to me) seems like the final thing it does after uploading is double check to make sure the permissions are set correctly. Could be rubbish--and I could be reading way too much into it--but at any rate, uploads from Dreamweaver are trustworthy again, which is a huge relief.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Reworking custom apps' permissions
Although many people have complained that Vista's new security model breaks apps designed to run in administrator mode -- not in user mode as Microsoft has been urging since 1999 -- this has not caused much of a problem at Kemet. The reason, Padgett says, is that he had already reworked homegrown programs to run in user mode. Today, only five of 50 .Net and FoxPro database applications in use have problems with the new security model, and he expects to have those externally developed apps fixed shortly. Padgett's team has also migrated from Visual Studio 2003 to the 2005 edition, which natively supports the Vista security model.
The issues that some users have had with the new security model didn't apply to a medical setting because his IT group had already locked down the PCs in a way similar to what Vista does by default. "We never gave users full access to the PC [administrator privileges], so they're not seeing a change" in what applications they can run from user mode, he notes.
IT can elevate certain apps so UAC gives them more leeway before issuing warnings. But the long-term solution is to modify custom apps to support the Vista security model and insist that your vendors do the same, says Kemet's Padgett.
BitLockerencryption lacks flexibility
Another Vista security feature has also caused some problems, notes Gary Wilhelm, the business and systems financial manager (a combination of CTO and CFO) at Englewood Hospital Medical Center in New Jersey.
That feature is the BitLocker encryption capability. It is an all-or-nothing tool, encrypting the entire disk or nothing, which caused some access issues on PCs that are used by multiple people with separate user accounts. It also encrypts only the C drive, even though the hospital uses a separate D partition for data, distinct from application and system files. Wilhelm hopes that Microsoft will change BitLocker so it can encrypt just specific files or folders, as some third-party encryption tools already do, and support encryption across multiple volumes.
At the Milwaukee YMCA, IT Director David Fritzke ran into a surprising issue with BitLocker: Users turned this feature on to protect data if their laptops were lost or stolen, but when they left the YMCA's employment, IT discovered it couldn't read the backed-up files from their laptops. BitLocker requires that the data be opened on the actual computer where it was encrypted, even with administrator privileges.
Fritzke's team now uses an awkward workaround: If they need access to a former employees' files, they take back that employee's laptop from its current owner, copy the files to it, decrypt them with BitLocker, and then give back the laptop when done. Fritzke is hoping that Microsoft or a third party will provide a way for IT to open these files when backed up, so he can end this workaround.
The Vista deployment guide:
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

MATLAB and Simulink Based Books |
This book has been written to provide students and professionals with access to relatively recent research results on robustness analysis, H-infinity optimal control, and mu-synthesis. In addition, this material is integrated with linear quadratic Gaussian optimal control results. The overall treatment is organized in a logical manner rather than along the lines of historical development. Prequisites for the book include an introduction to control systems (classic control) , probability, state-space linear systems, and a working knowledge of linear algebra. This book consists of three parts. The first part covers the analysis of control systems. It contains a review of multivariable linear systems, an introduction to vector random processes, control system performance analysis, and robustness analysis. The second part is devoted to H2 optimal control, and the third part is devoted to H-infinity control.

Mo. House OKs candidate birth records requirement
Birth records for presidential and vice presidential candidates would need to be publicly available for those appearing on Missouri ballots.
Political parties would be required to give the secretary of state's office proof of their candidates' identity and that they are natural born citizens of the U.S. Write-in presidential candidates also would need to provide documentation. The records would be open to the public.
Lawmakers endorsed the legislation Wednesday, and the measure needs another vote before moving to the Senate.
Sponsoring House member Lyle Rowland, a Republican from Cedarcreek, says the requirements are preventative and would give voters assurances that candidates are qualified.
Democratic critics said any concerns about a president's qualifications to hold office did not seem to arise until Barack Obama won election in 2008.

Do what I do: Call them Demoncrats.
You may as well give up your campaign against these spammers. Obviously Townhall doesn't care or they would block them. Perhaps the spammers are a revenue source for Townhall?
The only way to hurt Townhall for their lackadaisical attitude toward these spammers is to stay away from Townhall and not raise their view count.
If we all stay away for a season and their ad revenue goes down, they might wise up and do something about the annoying features of this website.
11 of the first 12 comments on this page are those disruptive spam ads for "working on the computer".
When are you people going to get the trolls and spammers under control? This [fec@l matter] has been going on for years and you don't seem to care.
Do these spammers generate revenue for Townhall? If they pay you for the privilege, then you people are bigger creeps than they are!
We have tried the sales tax here in Texas and it is simple and it works. The complexities of the income tax code are there, not because everything else has been tried and found wanting, it is because it serves the interests of the craven, greedy scum who write the laws and are in a position to give favorable treatment to particular groups - for a price. At the same time they are claiming to be using the tax code to punish those very groups.
?What? An income tax is inherently complex. There are literally thousands of ways to generate income and they all need to be defined in the Code - or so think the low-life scum who believe in punishing the successful by use of the tax code.
Another reason for the tax code's complexity is to make it possible to make a criminal out of every citizen if the need arises - if the citizen gets too uppity for the government's comfort we'll slap him with a series of audits 'till he learns his lesson.
Let's repeal the Income Tax Amendment and implement a national sales tax - as in the Fair Tax or some such. We could call it The Hooker, P**p and Undocumented Worker Tax Act.
You are absolutely correct. I remember loud cackling coming from the Mad House on the Mall. "Is he serious? This budget is dead on arrival!"
Progressives are low-life scum. Punish the successful, subsidize everyone else. But why should we be surprised? Their god, Karl Marx, was a low-life scum.
Then they are shocked when people do things to escape their madness-induced policies. "But that's unfair!"
Apparently liberals are too stupid to know what that little wavy red line means.
Consort with many other kinds?
How many voices do you hear?

I'm trying to upload an updated version of a file, it's only 9.39mb and the uploader does it's thing for a while and then it says it's saved then just goes blank and won't let me select a file. Firefox 3.6 doesn't work but I got it to work with IE8 .
Any ideas?

Hey Vagrant, We have improvements planned to our upload system. If you encounter an error our main advice is to try again. We understand that this can be frustrating but we are working hard to improve the upload system.
Oh, I tried 15 times and then gave up and tried IE8 instead. I knew there was a reason I didn't un-install it.
So I've tried to upload an update to my theme four times, after I get the large list of changes I made typed out and click submit, I get a page not found error.
It worked once and apparently the reviewer said there were no files uploaded.
What's the deal?

BOSTON — BOSTON (AP) - First Marblehead Corp. said Monday it has agreed to acquire Tuition Management Systems from KeyCorp's KeyBank NA unit.
First Marblehead, a Boston company that works with banks and credit unions to administer student loans and package them for sale to investors, did not disclose financial terms of the acquisition.
Tuition Management Systems handles tuition billing, planning, counseling and other services for about 1,200 colleges, universities and elementary and secondary schools in 47 states. The business processed about $3.7 billion in tuition and related payments last year, the companies said.
Brothers Steven and Jon Dodd founded Tuition Management Services in 1985. KeyBank, a unit of Cleveland-based financial services company KeyCorp, acquired Tuition Management Systems in August 2007.
The business, based in Warwick, R.I., will become a wholly owned subsidiary of First Marblehead in a transaction expected to be closed before year's end. Tuition Management Systems, with about 170 employees, will retain its separate brand identity, management team and operations, the companies said.
First Marblehead said it expects Tuition Management Systems will add about $31 million in revenue to its operating results, on an annualized basis.
The deal is expected to add to First Marblehead's earnings in the second year after the transaction.
Shares of First Marblehead rose 2 cents to $2.10 in morning trading. Shares of KeyCorp rose a penny to $7.67.

Tomorrow's technology begins today Researchers in industry and academia tinker with self-repairing systems, molecular circuits and more.
Autonomic computing, in which systems can configure and repair themselves, took a big leap forward when Pennsylvania State University researchers said they had developed software that can repair--on the fly--an attacked database while allowing it to continue processing transactions. Companies like Oracle and Microsoft are beginning to dabble with built-in basic diagnostic tools, while IBM, a leading proponent of autonomic computing, opened a hub for advanced research and product development in that field. But so far the tech companies' efforts don't seem to match the level of complexity of the Penn State software, whose prototype is being tested by the U.S. Air Force.
The use of the properties of light to encrypt data is the stuff of science fiction, but it came closer to reality as several established companies and start-ups fine-tuned the technology behind quantum cryptography. Research conducted at Northwestern University this year honed the technology to the point where the scientific community hailed the arrival of real-world applications using it.
Nanotechnology developed in research and development centers run by companies like Intel and IBM made a big splash, underscoring that technology built at the atomic level is no longer limited to academic labs. Scientists at IBM built the world's smallest computer circuits using an approach in which individual molecules stream across an atomic surface like toppling dominoes. Meanwhile, Intel said that it is working with Harvard and other universities on two experimental structures, made up of self-assembling silicon atoms, the other of self-assembling carbon atoms. Intel said such advances could become the building block of chips within the decade.
Scientists are also developing new energy sources to power portable electronics as the industry races to make smaller devices that have longer lasting battery life. One scientist at Cornell University recently built a device that converts the energy stored in radioactive material directly into mechanical motion, which in turn moves the parts of a minuscule machine to generate electricity. Whether the public is willing to walk around with a pocketful of radioactive material remains to be seen.
In a plebeian twist, the lowly desktop computer is increasingly being harnessed in scientific research in the place of supercomputers. Researchers at Stanford University said they successfully predicted the rate of complex chemical reaction using a distributed computing network. Such networks involve spreading computing tasks across hundreds or thousands of computers on the Internet or private networks that would otherwise be sitting idle. Even the Internet search engine Google got in on distributed computing, offering a beta version of its toolbar that lets users donate their computers' otherwise unused processing power to scientific projects.
Other advances, though still far from commercialization, have shown promise to improve existing technologies such as cell phones, wireless networks, Internet speeds, data storage systems and security.

Hi everyone
Well we arrived on Sunday the 22nd. We reintroduced the dogs (Barbie's two and our three) and all went well.

I got home on the 30th of July.
My computer started behaving badly and has been in the shop since.
I am glad to be here - I have not been home during monsoon season in a long time. I had forgotten how dramatic the storms are.

... the son, we lived up to that promise!!! Was the funniest thing I've ever seen. It turned out really well. Then went and had a pint and met some locals. We had pictures taken behind the bar and they made up get up on top of a piano holding signs, so funny. Hung around for a bit and drove home. What a trip that was. I was pretty tired but all good. When we headed back we had to go through boarder control, none of us accept Anthony had our passports ...

... the service. We waited an hour for our dinner to arrive after ordering, and then Tracey's order wasn't with ours. After another 20 minutes I had to go and ask where Tracey's dinner was, and then she brought it out. But by then we'd all had so much coffee and soft drinks waiting for our dinner, the kids barely touched their plates as they were too full of soda! We didn't tip much and wish we'd gone to another restaurant, but them's the breaks.

Unacceptable customer service!
Review by confirmed purchaser
I was really excited when I stumbled across justminiatures.co.uk as we have a lot of parties and thought it would be the perfect place to get the drinks for them. Unfortunately their service did not live up to my expectations. My order took 11 days to be delivered instead of the promised 3-5 days. I chased twice and on both occassions I was lied to, being told that my order had been dispatched the day before which later turned out to not be true. My order was also incomplete and despite a telephone call and an email I have still not had the refund for the missing items. Overall I am really disappointed with justminiatures and cannot see any reason why I would order again!

Comments about Sassy Chucky Womens Costume:
Overall the look of the costume is ok. The disappointing areas were the knee socks which were paper thin and had no elastic at the top to keep them up. Then it didn't have the 2 red buttons on the overalls that were in the picture.
horrible experience

overall the costume is extremely cheap. i don't think anyone has a body shaped that way.

We had Oyster cards from our visit in January and were easily able to top them up and hop onto the Piccadilly line at terminal 3 in Heathrow. We then change at Hammersmith station to the District line and get off at Aldgate East station, which was just a few short blocks from where we were staying. We were travelling on a Sunday when the tube cars were not crowded, so we had no problem with room for our bags. I had only a carry on and my husband had a bag only slightly larger than carry on and a small backpack. By keeping our luggage light, we managed to save a lot of money by not taking a taxi or car service and the tube is even cheaper and for our destination, faster than Heathrow Express.

Tom Bishop lost a lot of friends on Sept. 11, 2001, at the World Trade Center.
So, giving a bit of his time on Tuesday — to help weed flower beds on the grounds of the New Jersey Veterans Memorial Home in Paramus — was somewhat cathartic for him.
"This helps me feel a little better — to give back to the military," he said, adding that
he also comes from a family of Marines. "It's something nice to do and I think it's a good way to show our appreciation for what our military does for our country."
Bishop, of Kinnelon, and about a dozen co-workers from UBS global financial services in Paramus volunteered at the memorial home on Tuesday ahead of the Sept. 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance.
Volunteers are encouraged to engage in charitable activities on 9/11 as a tribute to
the victims, survivors and those who rose up in service in response to the attacks 12 years ago. It's just one of the heartfelt, somber ways in which people in North Jersey are marking today's anniversary — actions that stand in stark contrast to the attacks designed to create division and animosity. Others will gather for candlelight walks, dedication ceremonies and moments of silence in such places as Wayne, Allendale and Englewood.
Jersey Cares, a non-profit organization that coordinates volunteer events
throughout the state, planned an entire week of service projects between Sept. 7 and 14 in nine counties, said Stephanie Asymkos, assistant director of service events for Jersey Cares.
The organization's goal is to engage 1,000 volunteers in 25 projects that focus on veterans, military families and active service members.
You walk through a glass entrance and two, 80-foot columns rise overhead, their rusty sides still bearing traces of fire. Suddenly, the calendar seems to turn back, and it's that clear September Tuesday in 2001 when lower Manhattan became a terrorist killing zone.
Welcome to the 9/11 Museum. After frustrating delays caused by rising costs, politicized debates over how to tell the story of America's bloodiest terrorist attack and floods last fall from Superstorm Sandy, officials say the 9/11 Museum is on track to open next spring in a cavernous series of rooms seven stories below Ground Zero's memorial plaza.
For more than four decades, the World Trade Center — whether standing majestically over lower Manhattan, lying in the ruins of a terrorist attack, or awaiting resurrection in a new form — has been one of the world's greatest public landmarks.
But in a quiet deal nearly 30 years ago, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey sold off the rights to the iconic buildings' name to a non-profit organization established by one of its powerful executives.
The price was $10.
Today, the names will be read, the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. There will come a day when someone like me writes it was the first Sept. 11 without a ceremony in lower Manhattan. That day will not be this week. With less national attention, somewhere people will remember Christopher Stevens. He was the U.S. ambassador to Libya killed with three others inside the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, a year ago this week. The mission was attacked on the 11th anniversary of Sept. 11, and the inability of the United States to protect its top personnel in Libya became an embarrassment to the Obama administration and a black mark on the final months of Hillary Clinton's tenure as U.S. secretary of state.
The letters and photos were beyond value — some of the mementos Joe Quinn still had to remember his older brother Jimmy, who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11. Now they are gone, sullied by floodwaters and charred by fires that tore through the Queens community of Breezy Point last October during Superstorm Sandy.
From photos and letters to coffin liners and actual memorials, scores of families from Breezy Point and Rockaway — two Queens beachside neighborhoods hit particularly hard by both events — lost cherished reminders of loved ones taken by one tragedy that were then swept away by another.
They weren't exposed to anywhere near the same level of ash, grit and fumes, but emergency workers who rushed to the Pentagon and the Pennsylvania countryside on 9/11 are signing up for the same compensation and health benefits being given to New Yorkers who got sick after toiling for months in the toxic ruins of the World Trade Center.
Federal officials say at least 91 people who were at those two crash sites have applied so far for payment from a multibillion-dollar fund for people with an illness related to the attacks.
