First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Many major social networking sites are leaking information that allows third party advertising and tracking companies to associate the Web browsing habits of users with a specific person, researchers warn.
That's the conclusion of a study on the leakage of personally identifiable information on social networks done at AT&T Labs and the Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
The findings (PDF document) , which appears to have received scant public attention so far, was presented by the study's two researchers at a conference in Barcelona more than a month ago. Earlier this week, civil liberties group Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) referred to the study in a blog post.
The research, by Craig Wills of Worcester Polytechnic and Balachander Krishnamurthy of ATT, presents "some interesting technical details" on how social networking sites are leaking personal data, the EFF blog post said.
"In some cases, the leakage may be unintentional, but in others, there is clever and surreptitious anti-privacy engineering at work," the EFF said.
Wills told Computerworld that he and Krishnamurthy surveyed 12 of the biggest social networks for the study. They discovered that 11 of them were leaking personal identity information to third-parties including data aggregators, which track and aggregate user viewing habits for targeted ad-serving purposes.
What the study shows is that most users on social networking sites are vulnerable to having their identity information from their profiles, associated with tracking cookies used by data aggregators, he said.
The information allows aggregators to relatively easily scoop up personal data from a user's social network page and to track that user's movement's across multiple Web sites across the Internet.
While aggregators have typically claimed that a person's movement on the Internet is tracked just as an anonymous IP address, the information from social networking sites allows them to attach a unique identity to each profile, Wills said.
What is not known, however, is if data aggregators are actually recording any of the personal identity information being relayed to them from social media sites, Wills said.
He said personal identity data or unique identifiers that point to a person's real identity are often relayed by social networking sites to third parties via so-called HTPP referrer headers. HTTP headers basically identity to a Web page the URL of any resources that link to it.
In the case of the social networks surveyed, all of the URLs being relayed via such HTTP headers included the user's unique identifier, he said.
When a user's page is being loaded on such sites, third-party tracking and advertising services that have a relationship with the site get not only the data from their tracking cookies but also the data containing the users unique identifier from the HTTP header, he said.
Another way in which identity data is leaked to third-party providers is when a social networking site contains objects from a server that appears to be part of the site, but in reality belongs to the third-party.
At least two of the social networks surveyed were relaying personal identity data to such hidden third-party servers, the report said. Also, five of the 12 social networks surveyed were also leaking unique user identifiers via so-called Request-URIs, which identify pages or objects on a Web site.
"We don't know what the specific practice of a third-party tracking site," when it comes to using the information, Wills said. "But this information is available to them. It is particularly worrisome because third party aggregators are creeping into a lot of sites that you and I visit."
EFF staff technologist Peter Eckersley noted in the blog post that there appears to be no easy way for users of such sites to avoid being tracked in this fashion.
To mitigate the risk, users of social networking sites need to disable flash cookies and ensure that all other cookies are deleted when the browser is closed, Eckersley wrote.
Certain Firefox extensions are also available that allow users to control when third-party sites can include content or run code on their browsers and plug-ins are available to help them opt out of targeted advertising cookies, he wrote.
But the steps can be hard to follow and can limit browser functionality. "We're fearful that the vast majority of Internet users will continue to be tracked by dozens of companies -- companies they've never heard of, companies they have no relationship with, companies they would never choose to trust with their most private thoughts and reading habits," he wrote.
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.

The Amazing Race 12: Episode 1, Live Thoughts
Sunday, November 04, 2007
It's like Christmas!
The Amazing Race
is back, and my excitement level is very, very high. Goth couples, hot sisters, hippies, middle-aged lesbians and Phil! Another season of vicarious travel that leaves me jealous and invigorated all at once. There's a reason
The Amazing Race
has won so many Emmys: it is the best produced and planned reality series on television. We're getting a late start tonight thanks to football, but once the episode gets underway, we'll be updating throughout the hour.
The race kicks off from Hollywood this year. More specifically, the Playboy Mansion. Awesome.
The teams are brought to the starting line in classic convertibles. We briefly meet every team. I'm not going to go through this with you. Take a look at the profiles or the interviews we've posted with every single team.
So, the lesbians are both clergy members. That definitely baffles me.
Rachel and Stella look better in motion as they do in pictures. Nothing lewd about that, some people don't photograph well.
No Hefner cameo....weak.
Eight of the eleven legs are elimination stops.
And they're off. The teams grab their first clue and head into an SUV. The teams are heading to Shannon, Ireland.
So, they're going to LAX. Having been a former LA dweller, I know that the multiple terminals at LAX can be confusing. I very much hope that this messes people up. Standard credit sequence.
Donald is a crotchety old man. I like him.
Kynt, the goth guy, actually uses the phrase, "Oh my goth!" Strike one, goth dude.
The LA blondes are one of the only teams to head the right direction out of the mansion.
Lorena and Jason
are the first team into LAX, followed by
TK and Rachel
The first flight is a British Airways flight.
Only five teams make it onto the first flight. I'm not positive, but I think it's the blondes, TK and Rachel, Lorena and Jason, and
Ronald and Christina
. Not positive, though. So many teams!
Azaria and Hendekea
are the first team to miss the flight. They are followed by the rest. The brother/sister team seems pretty smart – they arrange for taxi pick-up when they arrive.
Nevermind. Ronald and Christina and TK and Rachel miss the first flight. The old lesbians are also on the first flight. It looks like the first flight got delayed, letting the second flight to land first.
Ari and Staella
steal A and H's cab once they arrive.
Everyone is now on the way to an ancient temple, which is on an island. The teams have to take a ferry there. First come, first serve.
The lesbians call The Amazing Race a love letter to the earth. I would agree.
The first teams arrive on the island. It's raining, which it tends to do in Ireland. The teams run to this old church.
Nathan chews out Jennifer, calling her the worst person he's ever met. This could get ugly fast.
The sisters and Ronald and Christina went the wrong way after receiving bad directions.
Once at the temple, teams sign up for another ferry. There are two different ferrys, an hour and a half apart. The goth kids lead the pack.
The teams head back to the mainland, where they get a car and a clue.
Julia is pronounce "Hoo-lia."
The teams head to Cleggan Farm, forty miles away, where they have to ride a tandem bicycle to their next clue. Jason takes the wrong way, and Lorena yells at hium, then starts crying. He's quite stubborn.
Lorena and Jason went totally the wrong way. The second ferry takes off.
The Goths are the first to tandem bike away. Their chain breaks.
TK and Rachel get to the Road Block first. They have to take a high-wire bike across the water, 200-feet in the air. One person rides the bike, the other sits ten feet below, along for the ride. It looks really fun and really terrifying.
Next, the teams have to choose a donkey and load fifteen pieces of peet into the donkey's bags and walk him to the next clue.
The blondes drive the wrong way after coming across on the second ferry. Jen and Nathan keep yelling at each other. Their donkey doesn't want to walk. More yelling ensues. They got a bad donkey. It's broken.
Nathan is kind of a drama queen. The donkey still won't move.
TK and Rachel get their next clue: they have to drive thirteen miles to the first pit stop, a heritage center. Uh-oh. TK and Rachel mayu have gone the wrong way. Or not.
Azaria and Hendekea reach the pit stop in first place. They win a trip for two to Alberta, Canada near Banff.
Ari and Staella are also having donkey issues.
Kynt and Vixsin are team number two.
TK and Rachel are team number three.
The blondes are still in last place, right behind the lesbian clergy.
Lorena and Jason are team number four.
Ari and Staella are officially in last place now, thanks to the donkey. Nathan and Jennifer are stil lnot moving.
Nicholas and Donald are team number five.
Shana and Jennifer
are team number six. They lapped five teams right at the end.
Nathan and Jennifer finally get their donkey moving and make it to the end of the trail.
Ronald and Christina are team number seven.
Kate and Pat
are team number eight.
Marianna and Julia
are team number nine, Nathan Jennifer are number ten.
Ari and Staella arrive last and are eliminated. They got really bad donkey luck tonight. That's rough.

Zhou, Y; Antonova, E; Bensch, W; Patzke, G R (2010). In situ X-ray diffraction study of the hydrothermal crystallization of hierarchical Bi2WO6 nanostructures. Nanoscale, 2(11):2412-2417.
Full text not available from this repository.
The hydrothermal crystallization of hierarchical Bi2WO6 nanostructures has been monitored with in situ energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD). The kinetic data analysis according to the Avrami-Erofe'ev model suggests that the formation of nanostructured Bi2WO6 is diffusion controlled with Avrami exponents around 0.5 and that the growth mechanism is temperature independent in the interval from 150 to 180 degrees C. Furthermore, the reaction kinetics and the crystal structure of the resulting hydrothermal products depend on the pH value of the Bi(NO3)(3)center dot 5H(2)O/K2WO4 hydrothermal system.

RYAN HOLMES: One of the most important principles I've learned is, every so often, just drop everything. Stop racing from one party to the next. (By the time you hear about it on Twitter, it's already too late.) Stop pushing through crowds to meet the big fish. (They don't need another business card, anyway.) Instead, take a deep breath, relax and let the action and the contacts come to you… Read More »
Computer hardware and software are usually available separately. Networking has been a different story, but a Dell deal with startup Cumulus Networks points to possible changes ahead.
The big computer maker on Tuesday is using an industry conference in Silicon Valley to offer an unusual choice: buyers can use the operating software that normally comes with Dell's networking boxes, or they can use a new version of Linux that Cumulus has been developing. Read More »
IT infrastructure vendor Nutanix Inc. has raised $101 million at a valuation of about $1 billion to take on some of the tech industry's biggest companies as it works to remake ponderous and expensive corporate data centers.
The push to make data centers more scalable, more efficient and cheaper as global Internet usage continues to grow is a long-term threat to EMC Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co. and other firms that sell hardware to run the back-end computing backbones of big companies. Still, the amount of money Nutanix has raised — more than $172 million in four years, plus $55 million in debt — shows it isn't cheap for startups to compete with companies that have years of experience in selling computing gear to companies.
The startup's executives acknowledge it will be tough to displace corporate-technology giants for the biggest customer contracts. Read More »
Intel, widely known for microprocessors, has also been a longtime player in connecting computers together. But it's not satisfied.
The Silicon Valley giant claims it has greatly boosted the ability of its general-purpose processors to move high volumes of data around–approaching the capabilities of chips that were expressly designed for that purpose. Read More »
A team of researchers at the University of Southern California discovered an aggressive expansion of Google hardware serving up search results in the past year. They stumbled on the Google infrastructure activity while studying a new method to track computer networks. The team will present a paper on their findings Thursday at a conference in Barcelona.

Intel's stronghold in computer rooms is solid. But the Silicon Valley giant still has reason to try to push an additional class of chips there, with more attractive examples emerging Wednesday.
The company dominates sales of chips for server systems, primarily with its Xeon models that evolved from Intel's PC chips. Lately, though, some competitors and customers are talking about alternatives to the x86 architecture popularized by Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, in large part to save on energy bills.

A 55-yd TD run by Da'Shawn Farley hikes Withrow's lead to 31-20, 4:44 left. Farley has 209 yards rushing tonight. That's the final score–31-20. Long game. Earlier — Withrow goes up 24-20 on 1-yd TD run and 2-pt conv run by QB Ryan Banks, with 11:28 left in the game.

From my perspective IBM Connections/SmartCloud Connections are already platforms for Apps. I am actually very excited about what IBM is delivering in this space.
Can users build Apps/Utilities like Bruce describes? No not yet. But there is nothing stopping ISV's from building great solutions that extend Connections. I agree there is a place for user built apps in Connections (and we are already thinking about that with team Kudos!). I have more ideas for solutions built on and around Connections than we can possibly execute on!!!
Has IBM provided everything that App developers need yet? No not yet. But they have done a lot and it is improving all the time. I see Connections 4.x like Notes version 3-4. The ecosystem around Notes 4 was just getting started. Some great ISV's started to built neat apps. Soon after it really started to get some momentum. Connections is the same. There are some great solutions, a few ISV's building specifically for Connections, but quite a few intergrating their solutions into Connections. This market is developing most certainly, and has a way to go, but it is progressing well.
Anyway I am of the camp that Connections is becoming a platform for 3rd party Apps. I know IBM is encouraging this and if you reach out to them are very supportive.
Personally, I love the work that ISW has done with their Kudos products. Now the question becomes: "How can an ecosystem of more than a handful of ISV's develop, that produces apps for IBM Connections?". This is something I would love to see.

This is exactly what IBM Connections needs
[This is a bit rough, but I wanted to get it out there]
Or does it….
Let's face it, we all love the app dev capabilities of IBM's (Lotus) Notes. We are able to design, build and deploy apps of all kinds for enterprise users in organizations. In fact, the users we develop these apps for absolutely love them as they help make the job that they do easier. Tie this together with email, instant messaging and IBM Connections services and you create collaborative "system" that people use to get their work done.
There was a point in time in the history of IBM Notes when line-of-business users (LOB) were able to create "utility" apps. Utility apps apps helped LOB people to better serve their customers. It was a wonderful environment where staff could be empowered to create, with very little programming knowledge these apps.
Now enter the world of IBM Connections. IBM Connections like IBM Notes is a place where people go to get work done to serve their customers. One currently noticeable difference is the way in which IBM Connections lacks the ability to create utility apps. There is no way to currently do this. There are some great developer toolkits available, however these are focussed at pure-play developers.
Now take a look at this video and see how Microsoft Sharepoint users can create utility apps.
I really want to see IBM Connections develop into the portal-of-portals for people to go to and do their work. Currently, it's another application "destination" rather than the "primary" Lotus Notes like place to go and do their work.
Would you like to see IBM Connections have some capabilities to have users create "utility" apps? If not for utility apps, full fledged apps – an app dev platform.

Sunday At the Pool in Kigaliby Gil Courtemanche
Author Q & A1) Can you tell us how you became a writer?
It's the classic story. I always wanted to be a writer but I became a journalist, though this didn't stop me from writing poetry, songs, television comedy. I came to writing books late, because I admired too many writers. I didn't feel equal to it, and I had the impression that to publish you had to be either a genius (rare), or a bit pretentious. And then, to impress an intellectual woman, I think, I wrote my first book. The way it was received gave me the courage to publish more. And now I continue. 2) What inspired you to write this particular book? Is there a story about the writing of this novel that begs to be told? It was a long internal journey, although I don't like that expression. I passed a lot of time in Rwanda before the genocide while making a documentary on AIDS. I made some friends there, almost all of whom were killed during the genocide, and more still died from AIDS. I returned there several months after the genocide to gather testimonies of survivors and also to try to discover how my friends had disappeared. After several years, I said to myself that the only way to tell their actual life was to invent their last days and their death. But it's also the fruit of a reflection, perhaps subconscious, on traditional journalism that hardly ever succeeds in telling us about people in torment, only the torment itself with people inside that one cannot distinguish or identify. 3) What is it that you're exploring in this book? The coupling of life and death, the African coupling of sex and death, but above all the capacity of humans to be greater than all the horrors that they can invent. The absolute presence of life even in the most horrific moments of history. The superiority of life. And a bit about love that sometimes elevates lovers. 4) Who is your favourite character in this book, and why? I think it's Gentille because, like all the African women I've met, she has the spirit of what Paul Eluard calls "the persistent desire to endure". 5) Are there any tips you would give a book club to better navigate their discussion of your book? Only to think that these are our neighbours and that everything the media tell us about tribal wars is just a big heap of bullshit, fed by an unconscious racism or by a total ignorance of Africa. 6) Do you have a favourite story to tell about being interviewed about your book? Yes, in Spain a young radio reporter, as elegant as a Flamenco dancer, started out by saying: Why write another book about the Second World War? I should say that he had admitted to having not read the book. I didn't think that he hadn't even read the press release and that he thought perhaps that Kigali was a French town. 7) Has a review or profile ever changed your perspective on your work? For me, I think of "work" as what I do for a living and not as in "work of art". So, no. Because I don't treat my work as a journalist and my work as a writer of books any differently. I'm always doing the same thing: telling stories. So if I tell them well or badly, that depends on taste, context or unconscious prejudice. But the great many articles, reviews or profiles in all the countries in which I am published have convinced me that what I am telling is of interest to hundreds of thousands of people. 8) Which authors have been most influential to your own writing? Albert Camus, André Malraux, Graham Greene, Paul Éluard. 9) If you weren't writing, what would you want to be doing for a living? What are some of your other passions in life? Musician or cook (in my own restaurant). Probably the passion for the human being and all its creation: especially jazz, wine and food, hockey and Canadian football, sitcoms like Friends or All in the Family, learning, travelling, telling stories and, mostly, being in love. 10) If you could have written one book in history, what book would that be? The Bible. But the story would be quite different. Neither Sharon, Hamas, Bush or Bin Laden could invoke the name of God for justifying their killings. They would be in God's jail. More seriously: The Outsider by Albert Camus or The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details

Historical Traveler Reviews Wyndham El Paso Airport
Not worth it
I wasn't sure where to go in El Paso. Being close to the airport and staying at the Hilton I thought "how could I go wrong?". The staff was pretty friendly, but the lobby was run down. The rooms were dirty. My trash cans weren't even emptied. The extra blanket provided was crusty and the tv had no remote to order movies. The room service was so-so. For the price we payed for a 3 night stay they could easily afford to refurbish the rooms, clean the linens, and empty the trash.
Bugs and dustorrible
Stay here for one week. Not one at the front desk, gave us any information about complimentary breakfast.Not refrigerator in room, very dusty behind the bed and around night tables, so if you have allergies take your meds, bathroom floor was dirty on arrival, and with bugs coming out at night.
Bugs still around
I stayed at the Hilton El Paso Airport on June 23rd. After a long day in flight and in Juarez, Mexico - I needed a relaxing night.
I researched many hotels in El Paso before finally deciding upon the Hilton El Paso Airport due to its close proximity to the Airport, Fort Bliss and the best shopping and dining in El Paso. I was really worried about my decision after reading the other reviews, but I could not have been more satisfied! This hotel was excellent!!! We stayed in a King Suite on the 3rd floor with a gorgeous view of the pools and courtyard area, palm trees, blooming flowers and the mountains in the background. The 200 foot waterslide was awesome! The food at both Magnim's Lounge and Canarozzo's on Hilton's premises was extremely tasty, with huge portions, and reasonable prices (and 1/2 price with my Entertainment Card). The workout room was nice and updated with newish machines. Not once did I run into a single bug, rotten carpet or an unfriendly staffmember! Everyone was pleasant, eager to assist in any way and made for an even more enjoyable stay. My husband and I both loved it and would definitely stay here again!!!
Great stay at El Paso Hilton
As members of a tour group, my husband and I enjoyed our stay at the El Paso Hilton very much: its clean, attractive rooms, its courteous staff, efficiently run dining facilities, and the lovely pool which is open till 10 pm! The location is perfect, close but separated from airport activities.
Hilton El Paso Airport is an Aweful Hotel
We stayed at this hotel the night after our late arriving flight into El Paso Airport. I would not stay at this hotel again. We reserved a 1 bedroom suite because out family wanted to stay in the same room together. The suite we received was dark and musty. There were spots on the walls and the carpets. The Continental Breakfast served as part of our room rate was absolutely disgusting. We also requested the use of the airport shuttle once - we waited 20 minutes for the shuttle to drive us despite the front desk's assurances that the shuttle would come immediately. I went into the back to look at the pool and exercise room - the pool was not maintained and the exercise room was a treadmill, a stair machine and a few free weights (disappointing).
Disgusting hotel
I stayed at this hotel for the same reason everyone else does, the airport is walkable and I had an early flight.
Though I did not have the experience of live insects as did other reviewers, I did find a few (large) roach carcasses in my room.
Everything about this hotel is run down. I've stayed in Motel 6s that have been luxurious when compared to the Hilton. At $130/night (which is quite expensive in El Paso) this hotel is a total rip off.
Great stay....for entymologists.
We stayed in room 1218 of the El Paso Hilton August 12 2003. We used the Hilton because it was a short walk to the air terminal. We had a 630 am flight, and had turned in our rental car a day early. We had been driving all day, and just wanted to get some rest. The first insect we found was an 1 1/2 inch long yellow COCKROACH. We gave him the boot and flushed it. Then upon opening the patio door (the carpet looked rotted by the sill) I found a spider web with three SPIDERS on it. Flush flush flush. We (my Wife and I) went to the pool. After a hot day it felt good, but as I swam up to my Wife, sitting on the edge of the pool, I saw little red ANTS crawling all along the poolside and her. I splashed the off her and we went back to the room. Later that night after dealing with an ineffective air conditioner that came on every 45 seconds after it turned off, I killed another BUG. I don't know what kind it was, but it was real small, and real fast, and running across the night stand. Flush. At about 900 pm the new shift desk manager called ans asked how things were. I told her we killed all the bugs, and the air conditioner didn't work. She asked if we wanted maintenance called and I said No, we were try to get some sleep before our 400am wake up call. She said okay and hung up. Thats when I saw the Last BUG of the day. Some sort of long black, slow moving BUG that looked like a pregnant ANT/BEETLE thing. Flush. All night long every itch, real or imagined had us checking the sheets. I can't tell enough people about this bad experience with Hilton Hotels. The nap on the Plane flight was very restful.
I only stayed here out of shear convenience but no more. I don't know how old this place is but the rooms all need renovating.I am a Gold Elite Member when I asked for a bottle of water she said that will be three dollars ,I said I always get a complimentary bottle when I check in, all the other Hiltons I've stayed in you get breakfast,your local calls are not charged,and you get the correct wake up call!! Just to say that I'll will never stay there again!! I don't care if they put a special side walk from the Airport...
On the morning after we got married, we found a "HUGE" cockroach in our bathroom sink. We took the creature to the front desk where we were told by the clerk that he was only "authorized" to give a credit $20 if something was wrong with the room. So I asked him to please document our conversation and have someone from the hotel contact us. They did and tried to give us only $50 credit we told them this was not acceptable and they were to call us back. The never do because they have "telephone" problems and can only call out every now and then. This happened on May 9th and the last call we received from them we still had no response from the "person" who is in charge of giving us a better credit. Stay elsewhere

These are so adorable! At first I thought the buttons were going to be hard to operate, but it's apparently just because they were in the box. Once out of the box, each toy works well and easy to operate for little fingers. .I babysit for a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old, and initially bought it for the younger girl (since she walks around the house with remotes, cell phones, any wireless electronic). I wondered if the toys would satisfy her, since kids today seem to know the real item from the obvious toys!! After finding out what a fabulous hit they were for BOTH sisters, I was so thrilled and bought another one just to avoid stress for their Mom! Seriously, very cute toys.
They're cute but a little hard to understand some of the noises they make. For the price it's a good toy.
I bought this for my Nephews 2 year old daughter. Her Mother says she doesn't want to put it down. She uses the phone and remote the most. Based other reaction I'm purchasing one for my 18 month old Grand Daughter.
My grandsons are enjoying these toys. They are a good substitute for the real remote control that they like so much.
This was a Christmas gift for an 18 month old boy -- he loved them and they all worked -- so I'm very pleased with the product.

UPDATE 3-Kazakh tycoon Ablyazov faces extradition from France
- Tweet
- Share this
* French judge tells Kazakh of Ukraine extradition request
* Ablyazov wanted in Astana, UK on embezzlement charges he denies
* Extradition procedure could take several months
By Philippe Laurenson
AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France, Aug 1 (Reuters) - Fugitive Kazakh oligarch Mukhtar Ablyazov, accused of embezzling around $6 billion, was told by a French judge on Thursday that he faced extradition, but his family vowed to fight an expulsion it said was politically motivated.
The 50-year-old businessman, in hiding since being handed a jail sentence for contempt of court by an English judge 18 months ago, has been in custody in France since his arrest on Wednesday near the Riviera resort of Cannes.
He was arrested after investigators for BTA, the Kazakh bank he once controlled and which brought the vast fraud case against him in England, traced him to a villa in the area and tipped off local authorities that he was wanted by Interpol.
Armed police wearing balaclavas surrounded and then stormed the villa at around 11 a.m. (0900 GMT). He did not resist arrest in an operation that lasted around 30 seconds, a source familiar with the arrest said.
Ablyazov, who denies fraud charges he says are designed by strongman Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev to silence him as a political opponent, was arrested under an order from Kiev and is likely to be sent to Ukraine, the local prosecutor said.
However, Russia's Interior Ministry said it also intended to seek his extradition on fraud and forgery charges linked to the BTA case.
Ablyazov cannot be extradited to Kazakhstan, because it is not part of a Council of Europe extradition convention.
A lawyer close to the family said he suspected Ablyazov would be sent from Ukraine to Kazakhstan, which are former Soviet republics that have maintained close ties.
Two of Ablyazov's children, Madina and Madiyar, urged France not to extradite their father.
"We beg the French authorities not to grant Kazakhstan our father," they said in the statement. "Kazakhstan's pursuit of him is purely political. We are afraid for his life."
The hearing in the southern French city of Aix-en-Provence wrapped up by around 1 p.m. (1100 GMT), and Ablyazov was placed in provisional custody, his lawyer Bruno Rebstock told Reuters.
French legal sources said the extradition proceedings could take several months as judges would require proof from Ukraine that it had grounds for filing charges against him.
The prosecutor general's office in Kazakhstan - ruled for more than two decades by Nazarbayev - said it had been informed of Ablyazov's arrest by Interpol, which had him on a "Red Notice".
An English High Court judge in March effectively declared Ablyazov guilty of committing one of the largest frauds ever tried in Britain - although Ablyazov's lawyers said later that judgment was based on "unproven assumptions".
Ablyazov, a former government minister in Kazakhstan, has been debarred from defending himself against BTA's fraud charges because he ignored court orders to turn himself in and fully declare his assets.
His lawyers have been working on bringing a claim against the UK in the European Court of Human Rights because the English judicial system "failed to protect his right to a fair trial".
Kazakhstan, together with Russia and Ukraine, brought charges against Ablyazov after BTA was seized by the Kazakh sovereign wealth fund in 2009 and declared insolvent.
Ablyazov fled to London and was granted political asylum in 2011, giving BTA the jurisdiction to bring a civil claim against him on British soil. However, after a judge tried to jail him for contempt of court in Feb 2012, he went into hiding.
His wife, Alma Shalabayeva, and their six-year-old daughter Alua, were deported from Rome to Kazakhstan in May in a case that caused a furore in Italian politics.
The move was seen by some as a favour to Nazarbayev, in whose country Italy's energy giant Eni has invested billions of dollars.

[Verse 1]
My gators walk through shake joint doors
And I wear em' when I stomp these broke ass hoes
I stepped on stage, silk shirt and a fade
All the bitches gay and a pimp got paid
Fuck snake skin cause that shit cheap
I keeps the motherfuckin' gators on my feet
Milano's, sell em' just over a grand
With pimp stick in hand, I'ma take command
My gators and me close as can be
We done pimped plenty hoes, my gators and me
We ride around together, mackin' forever
And we ain't fucked up if we caught in bad weather
My gators
My gators
My gators
My gators
[Verse 2]
My gators stompin' on all ho tracks
Bitch ya step on my foot and ya might get smacked
With no shoe strings in em' I did not with em'
My bitch bought em' for me with the tags still in em'
I like to sport em' that's why the ho bought em'
A nigga tried to get me and I fucked around and caught em'
Put a whoppin' with that heat, left him layin' in the street
Silk pants on my legs and my gators on my feet
I should've wrote his ass off but I let the nigga slide
Wiped the blood off my gators and jumped back in my ride
I stay pimp sharp, ain't barrin' you traitors
I keep it P.I. and I stay away from haters
[Verse 3]
Now me and my gators do the craziest shit
We known for hittin' clubs tryin' to pimp on a bitch
We stay away from niggas who perpetrate
And I take my ho from state to state
I travel along gravel, dirt roads, or streets
I wear em' through rain, hail, snow, or sleet
I stomp through doors everywhere I go
When a ho see them gators she already know
[Verse 4]
Now the gators I possess, my nigga they rare
Last time I checked I had fifteen pair
I sport the all black ones when it's time to chill
And the big block rings when it's time to get ill
Got a pair that I wear when I'm takin' a cruise
When bitches see em' then they automatically choose
My gators and they all look brand new
I stay fresh, match up with a silk or two
I got the two-toned gators and they black and white
The ones I like to wear when I rock the mic
I graduated from the pimp university
HBO took the game and put it on TV
My gators are seen on the big screen
I got hoes in Hollywood if ya know what I mean
I started from the bottom, you suckers ain't got em'
And don't be a hater if ya niggas can't cop em'

UPS acquisition of TNT may still occur
Earlier this week, TNT Express rejected UPS' $6.4 billion acquisition offer, but that hasn't stopped speculation that a deal may still come to fruition.
The U.S. integrator offered €9 per share for the company; according to a BB&T Capital Markets analysis, this is a fair valuation for a company of its size. Currently, BB&T found, TNT's operating margin of 3.7 percent ranks a distant fourth among worldwide integrators behind UPS (14 percent), FedEx (8.1 percent), and DHL (7.9 percent). Nevertheless, the analysts wrote that a deal still could be in the cards and that additional players like FedEx could enter the conversation.
"Integrators know TNT is a seller, but UPS and FedEx are probably the only two legitimate buyers," according to the analysis. "With such a small buyer pool, we believe FedEx and UPS can name their low price. While FedEx may come back with a slightly more competitive bid and UPS may raise their bid, we just don't envision a crazy bidding war breaking out, as FedEx has nearly double the capital expenditures the next couple of years to refresh the airline fleet."
TNT boasts a fleet of 47 planes of 26,000 trucks and an extensive Southeast Asia trucking network.
Cathy Roberson, a senior analyst at Transport Intelligence, worked at UPS for 10 years, and she said rumblings about an acquisition of TNT have been present for quite a while. When TNT spun off its express division, these rumors intensified. If a deal is ultimately to go through, she said, it will change the dynamic of the worldwide air cargo sector.
"It would be a major acquisition in the airfreight market, overall. The airfreight market has been hurting for quite a while, and we're all expecting consolidation to occur," she told Air Cargo World. "It looks like it's going to go through. I'm not saying that UPS is definitely going to buy it, but someone is going to buy TNT, more than likely."
If UPS were to acquire TNT Express, the deal would present at least one issue. Roberson pointed out that the combined company would likely claim a majority of the market in some European countries, triggering European antitrust laws. UPS could then either divest or would have to come up with a new plan for those countries. On the plus side, Roberson said, TNT has a broad South Asian road network, which would certainly give UPS a leg up in the Asian market.
Even though this is a smart deal for both parties, Roberson said TNT has to be careful about asking for too much.
"I don't see UPS really offering that much more. UPS is more or less in the driver's seat here," she said, noting that the integrator could up its offer a little more, but is not likely to go too much higher or get in a bidding war with another carrier. "UPS has walked away from deals in the past. UPS is doing fine on their own; it's not like they have to absolutely have this acquisition."
UPS will certainly increase its offer since it will strengthen its presence in Europe. Though there are no other probable buyers other than UPS and FedEx, it will be interesting if Japanese Express Company KWE also pitches in.
Though there are only two probable buyers - UPS and FedEx, it will interesting if the Asian major KWE also pitches in.
If the acquisition takes place, then the choice of carriers in the market will certainly diminish further. The big gets even bigger leaving a greater gap between the bigger players and the rest. We await to see what UPS will do next.
someone has to buy Tnt.....that company, especially in North America is messed up and totally mismanaged..... ups or Fedex would legitimize the company and at long last give it some much needed credibility....
I work at ups and today I have been told tnt has been bought by UPS I can't comfirm how much but the deal has been sealed so ups will own 40% of the worldwide parcels as been told

Best places for wings and/or pub food in Niagara
I'm looking for casual resto/pub that has tasty wings and/or pub food in Niagara Falls or St. Catharines, ON area ... Preference would be non-chain restaurants ... what are your picks?
Thanks in advance,
Jordan House Tavern in Jordan is very good. Great beer and wine selection and we were really happy with the food - although we didn't try the wings.
Merchant Ale House is a much loved brew pub in St. Catharines. I haven't eaten the food there, so I can't vouch for it, but the menu has what you're looking for:

Reviewing San Francisco 49ers GM Scot McCloughan's Draft History
By J Bone-ious The Eronious ,
Almost seemingly out of the blue, an otherwise "stable" 49ers front office has been thrown into controversy yet again.
49ers GM Scot McCloughan has been put on an extended leave of absence due to "personal problems." This, of course, has come at a bad time.
But what now for the 49ers?
The consensus seems to be that Coach Singletary will be the new head honcho when it comes to this year's draft or at the very least, Singletary will be the man responsible for the two first round picks.
The "buzz" surrounding recent speculative articles about this situation has been the inability of Singletary to evaluate talent.
This statement is usually followed by the "Patrick Willis" incident, where McCloughan had to convince Singletary that Willis should be drafted.
Trying to put a positive spin on this situation is hard to do.
While McCloughan may not have been making any "Top 10 GM" lists any time soon, the mere emergence of this controversy shows the NFL that stability, still, is not one of the 49ers' strong points.
I was not the biggest fan of McCloughan, but I do not like how the 49er front office has handled this situation.
While we laugh at Arizona losing Warner, Seattle giving up so much to get Whitehurst, the Raiders drafting Heyward-Bey and the Rams, well…'nuff said, it looks like the tables have been turned and we are now the target of ridicule.
Still, I would like to look at McCloughan's influence since 2005 and see if losing him is as much of a disaster as people think.
But before we go over this list, I would to say that I think the importance of picking well DEEP into the draft is the sign of good talent evaluation.
I think, more often than not, it's easy not to miss when you're picking in the top 10.
But what about the later rounds? These are the rounds where you make your money.
For example, last year when we picked up Crabtree, well anyone (except the Raiders, of course) could have done that.
Think about it: a top-five receiver falls to you at No. 10. I think I could have even made that pick.
But picking up Frank Gore in the third round? That's something that I could never have done and I think it's the solid picks in the later rounds that, as a GM, is the best litmus test.
(Source of following draft lists: Profootballreference.com)
Well, what is there to say about this draft?
There are some of you who will not use "bust" when describing Smith, but I ask this: What NFL franchise wants to still be unsure about whether or not their first overall pick is still a starter five years after the fact?
This year, under the same offensive coordinator, Smith's light may turn on, but until he passes the "eye test," until Smith starts to win us games...well, you'll know where I stand on him.
But enough about him, how did we do in the rest of the draft?
Well, the only other pick we hit on was Frank Gore...that's it.
Sure, David Baas starts at guard, but his play is inconsistent. For a high second round pick (33rd overall), he has been mediocre at best.
Adam Snyder is even more inconsistent and he fills the right tackle spot, a spot where we desperately need someone else.
The rest of the draft was a waste and what an opportunity to waste. We had seven picks from the fifth round on and no one has shown anything thus far.
Overall draft grade: D
People will point to this draft and say, "Look at Vernon Davis!" But he was a sixth overall pick whose only productive season came last year.
Look at our other first round pick, deeper in the draft: the underachieving Manny Lawson, who has been a disappointment thus far.
While he is good at stopping the run and containing the outside, he poses no threat whatsoever when it comes to putting pressure on the QB.
I think Parys Haralson is a solid starter for a fifth rounder, though.
He is almost from the same cut as Lawson. He's a good contain man, but does not pose a huge threat for opposing QBs. Still, he is a starter.
The rest of the draft is a wash, save for Walker, who is a back-up.
In the end, Davis was a good pick, but it took a while for him to have first round—type production.
Lawson borderlines on the "bust" status, because he plays at a mediocre level. For a first rounder, he definitely has not lived up to his moniker.
Overall Grade: C
This was a good draft because we hit on BOTH our first round picks.
This may be premature, but I think Patrick Willis would fall into the "top five players in the NFL right now not including QBs" category. Yes, I just made that category up.
Staley is a solid starter and if the 49ers start winning games, I could definitely see him making the Pro Bowl in the near future.
Jason Hill, McDonald, and Brown are okay, with McDonald getting the edge between these two.
Additionally, I think Goldson is great. Okay, not "great" in the epic sense, but pretty darn good.
I think if our pass rush improves, his production will significantly increase. He's fast, has good "pop" at the point of attack and has the occasional "beast mode" moment.
Overall Draft Grade: A
Hmmm...what can I say about this draft?
Again, how did we pick late in the first? Kentwan Balmer? No thanks. It's not like he has had mediocre production...he's had NO production.
Yeah, he's been injured, but the bottom line is what counts. He is a bust, baring some miraculous turn around.
Chilo Rachal is not a solid starter. Bass is a better guard than him, but Bass has just not been that productive for a high second round pick.
Josh Morgan is a good number two receiver, but when that's the highlight of your entire draft...no bueno.
Overall Grade: F
A little harder to grade this draft, because only time will tell if the deeper drafted players can contribute.
Crabtree had instant production, but he was a "no brainer" pick which fell in our lap at No. 10.
Coffee, while dazzling in the preseason, did not do so hot when he had to take over for the injured Frank Gore.
But I think the jury is still out on him, as he just may need another year or two for him to reach his potential in my opinion.
Scott McKilop is a solid special-teamer and a back-up linebacker, but this is still decent production for a fifth rounder right off the bat, especially since he plays a position which is not a need for the 49ers.
Bear Pascoe did not last the season and the jury is still out on Davis and the two LSU rookies.
Overall Grade: C
Let's be honest here. If Alex Smith were able to secure the QB spot a lot sooner and was not a question mark for us (still), McCloughan would have all the street cred in the world.
But he has missed (big) in the first round, whiffed on Alex Smith and has been mediocre in the deeper rounds in my opinion.
Again, the sudden dysfunction in the front office is not good, but on the bright side, at least it's not the worst thing in the world.

RALEIGH DURHAM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, N.C. (WTVD) -- More Americans will soon be able to zip through airport checkpoints without taking off their shoes or pulling out laptops.
Fifteen million passengers have used TSA Precheck since it launched nearly two years ago, and now the expedited screening program is expanding. Precheck is currently at 40 airports across the country, including RDU. It will expand to 60 more airports by the end of the year to total 100.
More lanes will be added to existing Precheck lanes at RDU's Terminal Two, making traveling less of a hassle for low-risk passengers.
TSA is expanding the program currently exclusive to certain elite-level passengers like Angela Zagala. Her clearance is embedded in the barcode of her boarding pass.
"If it's going to be safe, absolutely. Why not?" Zagala said. "For somebody like me who is in and out of the airport once a week, we deserve the Precheck and there are many more people who are really low security risks."
For $85 and a fingerprint scan, anyone can now request the clearance, which is good for five years. Applicants must show a valid government-issued ID providing name, address, date of birth, and gender.
"As TSA continues to move away from a one-size-fits-all approach to transportation security, we are looking for more opportunities to provide the most effective security in the most efficient way possible," said TSA administrator John Pisotle.
Some passengers say it's a nice change, but can't justify spending money for the added convenience if they aren't frequent flyers.
"If someone's willing to pay for it that's great. Would I use it? Probably not," said RDU passenger John Jensen.
On the anniversary of 9/11 when airport security was forever changed, others are sold on the idea.
"We may have went too far with some of the things we did after September 11th. It's easier to say that now but looking at it, I think the awareness is a lot better than it was prior to September 11th, so I'm comfortable with the proposed changes," RDU passenger Chris Toppin said.
The program doesn't guarantee easy screening. Even those who qualify may sometimes be directed to the regular security lane.
TSA can also revoke or suspend clearance if a passenger has security issues at the gate or commits a crime after getting approved.
