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.

Boss finds poison in oatmeal
Waterbury parks employee arrested
|William Lampron
WATERBURY [--] A former employee in the city's parks department was arrested Wednesday after police say he laced his boss's oatmeal with a gritty chemical substance that's normally used for soaking up spills on roadways.
William Lampron, 43, was a longtime city worker who told police he poisoned his supervisor's food after the two had a disagreement because he "was close to retiring and I wanted him to slow down with my work."

The mosaic is predominately made of brightly colored glass fragments and small tile pieces. Scattered pieces of broken bottles and shattered china dishes add dimension to the mosaic. Shining copper and gold-colored squares of metal accent the glass and outline important features.
The lower left hand corner (when one faces the mosaic) is the most detailed section, containing several pieces of delicately patterned blue and white china plate pieces and dark blue bottle shards. Along the bottom edge Hank Blass tiled his initials HB. He also placed a small, yellow, porcelain tile about halfway up the mosaic and painted HB on it in black paint.
The middle and the right side of the mosaic lack the detail of the left side. Blass, apparently, was under time pressure to complete the mosaic, and these areas are more generic than the left side. The tiles are more regular and the colors and materials are not as diverse.
By Kara Hunter
The mosaic features an array of allegorical figures, each supporting the theme of the past, present, and future of humankind within this piece of artwork. Blass describes his theme as being "the relentless movement of time, whether geological, astronomical, or man's concept of it." The figures featured on the mosaic represent the progression of mankind; Progression of Mankind has sometimes been thought to be the name of the mosaic. "Many of the characters depicted are allegorical and therefore, a story is behind much of the picture."
One of the most significant images of the mosaic is located in the center of the mosaic where two hands hold the symbol of the atom. According to Hank Blass, in a pamphlet description for the unveiling and dedication of the mosaic, the hands in the center of the mosaic represent the hand of God and the hand of man, good and evil, positive and negative forces. One may interpret this image as being a symbol of the power humans have to use the atom for good or for evil.
The right side of the mosaic features the elements of fire, earth, water, and air which are represented through mythological figures such as Apollo, Diana, Poseidon, and Vulcan. Hank Blass describes these ancient goods as the following: Apollo, the god of the sun, light, music, and art; Diana, Goddess of the Moon, the hunt and the eternal female; Poseidon, the God of Water, drawn toward her. Vulcan, the god of Fire, shown cramped within his shrinking shell of the earth (Blass 1959).
The lower, left corner of the mosaic features amoeba and paramecium. According to Miss Thelma Engebretson and Mrs. Charles Ullock of the Kiwanis Club, these figures represent the first living organisms believed to exist on this planet. The progression of evolution continues in the middle left hand portion of the mosaic with images of dinosaurs as well as several images of the progression of humans. Zodiac signs are also incorporated throughout the mosaic representing the past, present, and future of humankind.

NORTHBROOK — Robert Andrew Brown, a well-known patent attorney, died July 7, 2013, in his Northbrook home.
He was born April 10, 1924, and his hometown was Reed City, Mich.
Mr. Brown was a patent attorney for 40 years in the Chicago area and ran his private practice in Northbrook for more than 30 years.
His practice was in international patents and trademarks, and he specialized in securing patents for large earth-moving equipment.
He began his career with Marks and Clerk patent law firm, Chicago. Mr. Brown became corporate patent counsel for Fiat-Allis, manufacturer of tractors and earth-moving equipment.
Mr. Brown served on the Northbrook Park District of Commissioners from 1991 to 1995, during which the district dedicated the East Nine golf course at Sportsman's Country Club and also expanded recreational facilities and arts amenities.
Mr. Brown loved football, and was an avid fan of the University of Michigan. He held alumni season tickets on the 45-yard line and traveled often to see games played in The Big House stadium.
Mr. Brown was president of the University of Michigan Club of Chicago, 1968-69.
Known for his intelligence, sense of humor and outgoing personality, Mr. Brown, with his wife, Betty traveled the world.
Betty and Robert Brown loved to dance and were members of The Shore Club. Later they were active members of The Friendship League of Northbrook.
Mr. Brown was a lieutenant in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during World War II. He enlisted in 1943 after completing one semester at the University of Michigan. He was commissioned as an officer at Fort Belvoir, Va. in October 1944. He was discharged in 1945.
Mr. Brown has been a member of the Union League Club of Chicago since 1971.
Mr. Brown leaves behind a daughter, Andrea Louise Brown of Algonquin, Ill.; and a son, Gregory Stapleton Smith of San Marcos, Calif.; a daughter-in-law, Carol McHenry Smith of Santa Barbara, Calif. He has two grandchildren Kristina Smith and Jeremy Smith. He also is survived by his brother Emerson M. Brown.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Betty Stapleton Brown.
"My father had a keen interest in the world around him. He was an avid reader and very interested in politics and current events. He read several newspapers every day," said his daughter, Andrea Brown.
"He was very good at describing technical concepts, which served him well when writing patent applications."
Penelope Randel, a commissioner for Northbrook Park District, said Mr. Brown during his tenure developed what was then Meadow Hill South into the current Techny Prairie Park.
"During his time on the board, Bob demonstrated a deep regard for open space and supported recreation programming and park development for the citizens of Northbrook," she said.
"Bob had an extensive vocabulary and I always enjoyed learning new and seldom-used words from him."

Majority Leader Cantor to also Support Attack
By Harold Hutchison
House Speaker John Boehner has come out in support of a strike on the regime of Syrian dictator Bashir Assad in response to the alleged use of chemical weapons. The announcement comes as the Senate Foreign Relations Committee announced it would hold hearings on a resolution authorizing the use of force.
The attack killed over 1,400 people, including hundreds of children. The evidence tying the Syrian regime to the attack has been disputed by Russia, and some sources claim that the Syrian rebels are using chemical weapons. The Syrian rebels opposing Assad's regime include al-Qaeda fighters. Assad is allied with the Iranian government, which has a long history of supporting terrorist attacks.
Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have also been urging military action – going far beyond limited measures.

Google and Money!
Googled: The End of the World As We Know It
The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains
Google plays such a large part in so many of our "digital lives" that it can be startling to learn how much of the company's revenues come from a single source. Almost everyone online relies on one Google service or another; personally I make semiregular use of
Google Search, Gmail, Google Chat, Google Voice, Google Maps, Google Documents, Google Calendar, Google Buzz, Google Earth, Google Chrome, Google Reader, Google News, YouTube, Blogspot, Google Profiles, Google Alerts, Google Translate, Google Book Search, Google Groups, Google Analytics, and Google 411.
Yet few of these services support themselves (YouTube alone has lost hundreds of millions of dollars per year). In 2008 the advertising on Google's search engine was responsible for 98 percent of the company's $22 billion in revenue, and while Google refuses to provide more recent percentages, the company's 2009 revenue of $23.6 billion suggests that little has changed.
The reason Google's search engine remains its single largest source of revenue—and why that revenue exceeds that of any other website—can most easily be understood by studying the company's history. In 1998, when the Stanford graduate students Sergey Brin and Larry Page launched Google, the existing search engines were so inadequate that only one was capable of finding itself when queried with its own name; a search for "cars" on Lycos, one of the better search engines, returned more pornography sites than sites about cars.
Google's vast improvement on other search engines is usually attributed to a new algorithm, called PageRank, that made use of the links between sites to more accurately determine relevancy. In contrast to other search engines, which ranked results according to the number of times a searched-for word was used, Google ranked its results based on the number of links a site received, a method that revealed the "wisdom of crowds." The pages to which many people link were, by Google's model, listed higher than pages that were less popular, and if a particularly popular site linked to a page, that link would be given greater weight in determining relevancy. But Google's success was not due primarily to its technical ingenuity; other search engines, including Lycos, used a similar ranking technology.
Google's advantage over Lycos only became apparent when Page and Brin, still intent on pursuing their Ph.D.s, tried to sell their technology to another search engine, Yahoo. As Ken Auletta writes in Googled:
[The Yahoo founders] were impressed with [Google's] search engine. Very impressed, actually; their concern was that it was too good…. The more relevant the results of a search were, the fewer [pages] users would experience before leaving Yahoo. Instead of ten pages, they might see just a couple, and that would deflate the number of page views Yahoo sold advertisers.
In the early years of the Web, a search engine was considered only one of many attractions on sites like Yahoo and Lycos, which were attempting to become, in the language of the time, a "portal," or a site that served as an entry point to the Web and provided links to various kinds of content. Most of this content was organized and displayed on different Web pages that were part of the site, thus leading users to remain on the site and look at page after page. As with newspapers, an advertiser might pay a premium to guarantee that an ad would appear on a site's front or "home" page. But on the Web, aside from the home page, no equivalent of a newspaper's "A" section exists; websites, unlike print newspapers, do not proceed in a linear fashion.
Hence the emphasis on "page views." Instead of a promise of an ad in a newspaper's "A" section, sites like Yahoo and Lycos sold advertising based on how many times each page on their site was viewed (a statistic easily tracked online). This "page view" approach has since been adopted by newspapers themselves in their online versions: the ads that readers see—i.e., for Moviefone and the Red Cross in a recent New York Times story about Haiti's upcoming election—are most often sold at rates based on the number of times they are viewed, rather than where they appear on a given site.
Page and Brin decided to continue improving Google's search algorithms, while disdaining the efforts of Yahoo, Lycos, and other portals to maximize the number of pages—and hence ads—that visitors might see. More than any innovation, this decision allowed Google to become the best search engine available. But it also left Google with almost no source of revenue, since users did not see many different pages and the site consequently could not compete in selling ads based on page views.
It wasn't until Google grew desperate for funding during the dot-com bust of the early 2000s that Page, Brin, and their colleagues began to see that the technical advantage they had gained over other search engines might translate into an economic advantage as well. Aside from page views, one of the few easily measured statistics on the early Web was "click-throughs," the number of times visitors to a site found an ad displayed enticing enough to click on it, and then be taken to the advertiser's own website, where the product or service in question might be purchased or used. Most websites, including those of other search engines, found that they could earn more by charging small amounts for each time an ad was seen (page views) rather than charging a larger amount for the far less frequent instances when a visitor clicked on an ad (click-throughs) and then visited the advertiser's own website.
Google's executives realized that ads on search engines reach users at a singularly receptive time: unlike readers browsing through articles on a news website, users of search engines are often looking for something very specific. A user who asks a search engine, for instance, "Where can I find the best car insurance?" would be a more promising potential customer than a visitor to a news website, because by searching for car insurance a user signals that he or she is, at that moment, in the market for car insurance. A car insurance ad programmed to appear next to the results of such a search would allow the advertiser to target its most desirable audience.
This approach, a form of what's known as a "cost-per-click" advertising system, charges advertisers for each time a user clicks on an ad that is displayed next to related search engine results. To implement it, Google developed a program to link specific ads to millions of different search terms that prospective customers might use (from "car insurance" to "French horn" to "cat grooming in New York"), as well as a program to ensure that the ads sold through this system would be priced fairly (the program uses a simple bidding system, vetted by economists).
You can see how this looks today: a user searching for "pet food," for exam ple, is greeted not only by a ranked list of sites containing information about pet food, but also by three "sponsored" links at the very top of the page, as well as a column of pet food ads in the right margin. These "sponsored" links and ads in the margin are paid for by online pet food stores and related ventures.
Back in the early 2000s, though, another company, Overture, which was far more focused than Google on making money online, had already developed such a system. Google copied much of the system from Overture in 2001; Overture sued Google in 2002; and Overture was itself bought by Yahoo in 2003. Yahoo settled the lawsuit against Google out of court for $275 million in 2004, and the system, modified over time, still provides the vast majority of Google's billions of dollars in revenues.
Much of this story has been told before. Ken Auletta, like other reporters, emphasizes the luck of Google's early success; unlike other reporters, he never forgets that luck as the company's profits begin to pile up. Had Google's revenues derived from a hundred diverse sources, one could plausibly credit the company, as some business writers do, with a "management breakthrough." Auletta instead quotes Steve Ballmer, the CEO of Microsoft, who famously called Google "a one-trick pony" in 2007. "They have one product that makes all their money," Ballmer explained—referring to the sale of search-based ads—"and it hasn't changed in five years."
But while Auletta approaches his subject more judiciously than other reporters, he still tends to withhold judgment. A more critical approach to Google comes from Nicholas Carr, the technology-expert-turned-skeptic who recently expanded his widely discussed 2008 article in The Atlantic, "Is Google Making Us Stupid?," into a full-length book, The Shallows.
Google, Carr suggests, is the new home of Taylorism, the management philosophy of "perfect efficiency" developed by Frederick Winslow Taylor for factory production lines toward the end of the nineteenth century. It is an unexpectedly easy argument to make. Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, has proudly said that the company is "founded around the science of measurement," and Google executive Marissa Mayer has argued that "because you can measure so precisely [online], you can actually find small differences and mathematically learn which one is right." This "scientific" emphasis leads Carr to conclude that the Internet, partly because of Google's influence, has been built to process information efficiently, rather than to encourage deep understanding.
Carr laments the hyperlinks that dominate much of what we read online, arguing that instead of adding context, they turn the Internet into an "interruption system, a machine geared for dividing attention." He cites studies of how links affect the brain, though the results of these experiments remain ambiguous; more persuasive evidence comes from the many bloggers who, partly as a result of Carr's writing, have begun to admit to an inability to read entire books or even magazine articles.
The Web, ostensibly built to help process information, for Carr thus leads to confusion and distraction among the people it purports to serve, because in the drive of companies to increase the efficiency with which we go through pages (and the number of ads seen and the total profits made), the Web pre-sents us with more information than we can process, let alone understand.
Carr's analysis is often suggestive, but he tends to ignore much of how Google approaches the Web. He argues that Google considers information a commodity that should be "mined and processed" and dispensed in highly efficient "snippets" to searchers. But while Google has done everything it can to "mine" more information, the company always tries to make it possible for searchers to view entire texts. Google does, it is true, show only small "snippets" from books when forced by copyright law to limit the text it can provide. But the company has spent millions of dollars in court fighting to allow users to see more of these books.

When I arrived home, I was also greeted by a familiar sight (no smell since baos hardly emit any smell when steamed) - steamed baos waiting for my consumption :] I love baos - other than porridge, fried rice and Mee Hoon Kuay (面粉馃), they are my idea of a perfect homecoming present. I used to love to get these peanut baos from a coffeeshop near my place, but after hearing that no one consumes these baos and they are actually being repeatedly steamed on a daily basis for weeks (hence the oily bottoms and weird textures), I have not patronized them anymore. Instead, I bug my mother to make these baos for me. My mom makes a mean peanut steamed bun (花生包) and vegetable steamed bun (菜包). In fact, I now only eat baos that my mom makes, because I really don't like how mushy and weird tasting vegetable baos can get when purchased. I know many people swear by meat steamed buns (肉包) - 小肉包大肉包 but I don't really like meat buns because of the strong porky taste in those buns - I know right, I'm super picky. In any case, the only type of meat bun I like to eat is the honey-roasted pork bun (char siew bao or 叉烧包). This is the bun I will always order when having dimsum. However of late, I have been disappointed by the size, quality and price of these char siew baos. The filling has been decreasing in size, been increasingly replaced with more fats than meat, and the price of these baos have really skyrocketed! It was just a few months ago that I convinced my mom to attempt making char siew baos and to my delight, the results were phenomenal :] Needless to say, I hardly order bao when I'm out because these gems are really easy to make at home - you can make the filling on the first day and make the bao on the second if you don't have enough time - and it's really much quicker than making proper breads which require two periods of proofing and rising.
6 g yeast
100 g sugar
50 g oil/shortening
250 g water
- Mix flour and instant yeast together and dissolve the sugar in water.
- Mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, then knead the dough by hand for 10-15 minutes or by mixer until it becomes smooth and extensible.
- Scale the dough at 40g each. Round it and leave it to rest for 10 minutes.
- Flatten the dough and place your filling in the centre of the dough. Wrap the filling by folding the edge of the dough with desired design. Then place each dough on a small piece of square grease-proof paper.
- Cover the dough with a piece of clean plastic sheet and allow it to rise for 35-40 minutes.
- Place all the dough pieces in a steaming rack and steam for 15 minutes over the high heat.
- Modifications: I also add a pinch of salt to give the baos a little complexity to the taste. Also, be sure to use lukewarm water to dissolve the sugar, before adding the mixture into your flour and yeast. Once you get a rough dough, proceed to add in your oil. You can also use lard or shortening if you prefer. I use sunflower oil since it's available in my pantry all the time.
- Taste: This bao can actually be made into a mantou and be eaten on its own, because there is sufficient sugar to give it some taste. However, it tastes especially good when combined with a savory filling.
- Texture: The texture of the bao is perhaps not as smooth as those you can get from yum char places, but it's perfectly fine for consumption at home. Perhaps a little bit of wheat gluten and more shortening will result in that smoother bao you can get from shops.
- Serving size: This recipe makes enough for 14 similar shaped buns.
- Storage: These baos store in the fridge well for about 3 days and freeze perfectly. From the fridge, just steam them again for about 10-15 minutes. From the freezer, remove them to thaw before steaming them or you could just steam them for 30 minutes.
- Would I make this again?: Definitely. This is a family staple, and this is perhaps the only way in which I can consume my beloved peanut baos (it's so rare nowadays) and the only way in which I can have a vegetable bao with some chicken inside ;p
- Other comments: For the "grease-proof" paper that the recipe mentions, you can use baking paper or tracing paper, cut into little squares.
|These baos are proofed (see how the pleats are not as prominent as before) and ready to be steamed :]
|Look at this dreamy char siew filling! Unlike those in stores, this is all meat and little fats - no red coloring is used :]
|Steamed baos - look at how fat they have become - the pleats are almost giving way :/
|Another close-up for good measure :]
|My absolute favorite - the peanut bao
|And last but not least, my mom's version of vegetable bao - with half a hardboiled egg and pieces of chicken :D

If you're looking to make it a fun birthday celebration, make sure that your party theme matches your party invitations. Themed party invitations are easier than ever to create online! Customize your invitation with party details and choose from an array of beautiful colors and unique graphics. Before you can begin customizing your party invitation online, you must have a theme already selected. Here is a list of the top 3 themes to match your party invitations.
1. Outdoors: If you're celebrating a party outdoors in your backyard or at the local park, make sure your party invitations contain images that reflect nature and the outdoors. From card designs that include clouds, birds, lady bugs, dogs and more, there are so many creative images to choose.
2. Cartoons: Cartoon party invitations are a wonderful choice if you plan to throw a princess theme for your daughter or a super hero theme for your son. Pick your child's favorite character and find out if there are any card designs from that cartoon. If you're out of luck, you can still decorate the party with other items that contain images of the cartoon character and just use matching colors on the party invitations.
3. Food and Desserts: Pick card designs with images of popcorn, pizza, candy, or ice cream if you're having some sort of a pizza party or ice cream party for your child. There's nothing else better than to pass out invites with the same type of food or dessert you plan to serve at the birthday celebration!
"This card arrived in our mailbox in lightening speed! We are over the moon with the quality of paper, the vibrant colours and design. Very happy with our card and is sure to be a hit with family members attending our birthday party."
"What a beautiful design - my son loved the fire truck with his picture - quality of the print was, as always, amazing. Would have been nice to have a little more space for text, and maybe some other color options as some didnt look nice on the blue background, but in the grand scheme of it all, those are minor points. options to personlized with picture and edging was great. Most importantly, this design came with mutliple other products - thank you cards, to/from stickers etc... which i always love as it seamlessly pulls a theme together (nothing worse than having different invites, thank you cards, stickers etc...) Delivery was very quick, a little expensive to Europe, but nevertheless the quality was worth it."
"These invitations were so cute! I love them and everyone complimented. I was happy I can modify the back as well. thank you!"
"The invitations for my daughter's first birthday party turned out beautiful! The picture was clear, the scalloped edges were a gorgeos touch...many people even favorably commented about the shape of the invitations! They were PERFECT! I have been recommending "tinyprints" to everyone."
"I ordered this invitation for my daughter's 1st birthday party. The big, bold 1 in the pink circle was perfect! The paper is gorgeous, I went with the scalloped edges and it really "made" the invitation, in my opinion. I wish the script font could be modified slightly, instead of just offering "celebrate" and birthday" with the child's name."

Israel-Gaza: TV Networks Say They Were There Too
We've been hearing from tvnewsers following our Q&A yesterday with Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity who was finishing up a 4-day reporting trip to Israel. During the interview, we asked Hannity what he thought of the media coverage so far of the conflict.
Here's my take on the media coverage, and I did glance around. I didn't see — and maybe some of them did it — but I didn't see reporters in the elaborate tunnels, I didn't see them at the indoor playground, I didn't see people go to the war room of the mayor of Sderot, like we did. I think there are too many Hamas representatives put on the air. I don't think enough emphasis has been put on the lives of the average Israeli. Where's CBS? Where is all this so-called reporting on NBC and CNN?
Because the headline of our story included the last part of the quote, a couple of those other networks reached out to us to emphatically say, "We were there." So, in the interest of fairness, here are some of those reports from CNN, CBS News and NBC News:

Harbinger Group Inc. Reports Fiscal 2012 Results
HGI's Fiscal 2012 results include an income tax benefit of $85 million, reflecting the net release of $198 million of valuation allowance by FGL, which is based on FGL's assessment of the amount of FGL's deferred tax assets that are more-likely-than-not realizable, and a $41 million gain resulting from a reduction in the contingent purchase price of FGL. These favorable items were partially offset by the $157 million increase in the fair market value of the equity conversion feature of HGI's preferred stock which results in a charge to earnings.
HGI continued to have a strong financial position to support its business strategy. At September 30, 2012, HGI had corporate cash and short-term investments of approximately $433 million.
The non-cash accretion rate on HGI's preferred stock is determined based on the value of HGI's net assets (the "Preferred Stock NAV") as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Certificates of Designation of HGI's preferred stock. The non-cash accretion rate on HGI's preferred stock reduced from 2% for the third and fourth fiscal quarters to 0% commencing in the first fiscal quarter of 2013 due to an increase in Preferred Stock NAV. The accretion rate is calculated as of September 30 and March 31 of each year, and is set for six months after the date of calculation. The Preferred Stock NAV as of September 30, 2012, calculated in accordance with the Certificates of Designation, was approximately $1.46 billion. This calculation will result in a quarterly non-cash accretion at an annualized rate of 0% for the first two quarters of Fiscal 2013, although it could increase to 2% or 4% in subsequent periods based upon changes in the Preferred Stock NAV.
Consumer Products:Consumer Products operating income increased to $302 million in Fiscal 2012 from $228 million in Fiscal 2011, representing an increase of 32% driven primarily by higher sales and efficiency gains. Consumer Products delivered record Adjusted EBITDA of $485 million, up 6% year-on-year (or 10% excluding the negative impact of foreign exchange). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP measure that excludes interest, income tax expense, restructuring and related charges, acquisition and integration related charges, intangible asset impairment and depreciation and amortization expenses - see "Non-U.S. GAAP Measures" and Table 3 for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the Consumer Product segment's operating income.

10 Best Cars For Spring Sightseeing
2012 Toyota Prius V
Starting price: $29,990
Top: Available panoramic sunroof
MPG: 44 city, 40 highway, 42 combined
The popular hybrid's wagon version comes cheaper, with the base model starting at $26,400. If riders want that panoramic moonroof with electric sliding sunshades, they're going to have to splurge.
For the car buyer's trouble, Toyota (TM) also throws in LED headlights, integrated fog lights, alloy wheels, Toyota's Entune entertainment and navigation system, heated seats and a telescoping steering wheel with audio, climate, dynamic cruise and Bluetooth phone controls. The 34 cubic feet of potential cargo space also isn't shabby for those long spring outings.
"A wagon version of the popular Prius, the Prius V is far and away the ruler of its class when it comes to fuel economy," Edmunds.com's Clarke says. "Ride quality is quiet and comfortable, cargo capacity is generous and the cabin offers lots of room for passengers."

Decoding Prefetch Files for Forensic Purposes: Part 2
Part 2 of this article will demonstrate what the existence of the prefetch file itself can tell you. Examining the contents of the prefetch directory can provide a storyline of activity on a computer system because the prefetch file captures the activity of applications that were first or subsequently executed. By using a tool, such as Guidance Software's EnCase1 or WinPrefetch View,2 you can extract the prefetch files and just view the file's creation or last access time stamp. First and foremost, the existence of the prefetch file shows that a certain application not only existed on the computer, but has at one time been executed. By sorting the entries by file creation or last access time it is possible to see what applications were executed on the system and to see what activity might have occurred on the system.
For instance, the entries in Figure 1 show that on April 9, 2010, two separate cmd.exe programs were executed. After the second cmd.exe (cmd.exe-5D0264ff.pf) was executed the application CONSENT.exe was executed (as shown by consent.exe-65f6206D.pf), which indicates the computer system is a Vista or Windows 7 system. The consent.exe program is the popup window that is presented to the user when requesting a program that requires administrator access, such as the MMC.exe application, which was executed ten seconds after CONSENT.exe. The presence of the prefetch files indicates that on April 9, 2010, at 1:16 PM two instances of CMD.exe were executed from different locations, followed by the execution of the program MMC.exe. This event spawned the execution of CONSENT.exe (this file will be executed first before MMC.exe even though chronologically MMC.exe was executed first). The MMC program is the Microsoft Management Console program and used to manage user accounts, Windows Events logs, disk management, and other management programs. Figure 1 also shows that the application PSEXEC.exe was executed, which is a command-line tool that allows a user to execute commands remotely on a computer system.

Figure 1: Analyzing the Prefetch Folder
So what can prefetch files tell you? The existence of two prefetch files with the same application prefix and different trailing hashes would be indicative of two files (i.e. I) that were executed from two different locations. The eight-character hash that exists in the prefetch file's name is based on the location from which the application was executed. In this example, a rogue CMD.exe was executed from a different location than Windows\System32. This scenario can also detect a possible malware infection in which the malware was executed in one location, say the desktop or temp directory, then removed itself from the original location and placed a copy in Windows\System32, then re-executed itself once it changed locations. This would cause the creation of two instances of the same prefetch file prefix with two different eight-character trailing hashes. If during a forensic exam there are two prefetch files located with different trailing hashes, and the examiner needs to determine the location the file was executed from, the examiner can reverse engineer the location through trial and error. There is no magic algorithm that will allow you to plug in a formula and reproduce the path from which the application was executed. However, since the eight-character hash was created from an algorithm using the executed file's location you can take any file, rename it to the prefix of the prefetch file (i.e. calc.exe), and place it in different suspected directories. Then execute the file and monitor the prefetch directory until the trailing hash file matches. This process is very time consuming so it is wise to focus on suspect directories.
The number and type of prefetch files in the prefetch directory can also reveal information about the individual who is using the computer system. The operating system will reduce the number of prefetch files once a certain number is met. The number of prefetch files can reveal a few different items.
- The system is relatively new and only a few different applications have been executed on the system. This situation is typical of a normal home user. They may only use about ten to fifteen programs over time.
- The system has been used extensively, and either over a short or long period of time the user(s) have executed many different programs. The timestamps and number of times the application was executed will provide background information on the duration and frequency these applications have been used.
- The type of applications that have been executed can also help in profiling the user's technical capabilities. For instance, by identifying the type of programs the individual executes, the analyst can determine if the user is highly technical (for example if there are prefetch files for programming tools such as Python and Perl or technical programs such as IdaPro and VMWare.) The presence of hacker tools, such as nmap, Metasploit, or netcat could easily reveal the nature and intent of a computer user. On the other hand if the user is only using Internet web browsers, mail clients, and social networking software (i.e. Yahoo, Microsoft's Instant Messenger) then you get a better profile of the type of computer user.
Here are some more practical forensic examples of how the prefetch file can be used to aid a forensic exam:
- A simple scenario is where network logs show that system PC-A was scanning system PC-B with a tool such as Nessus. When the local administrators asked the user of PC-A about the activity he denied the allegations and even said that they could search his system for the tool Nessus if they wanted to. The seemingly savvy user had not only removed the Nessus tool after its use but also used a tool such as BCWipe to overwrite all unallocated space. What the user of system PC-A didn't realize is that when he executed Nessus a prefetch file was created capturing the first time and last time the file was executed, the number of times it was run, and the location from which it was executed. These timestamps should correlate with the network logs and any activity recorded on system PC-B. The other valuable artifact is the prefetch file for the wiping tool BCWipe. The same type of incriminating information is contained in the BCWipe prefetch file.
- From a forensic standpoint a prefetch file can be used to show that an employee who denied obtaining a salary spreadsheet actually did open a Microsoft Excel file named ABCorp_2010_Salaries.xls on their computer, which was located on an external thumb drive. For this to occur the employee would have to have opened the file by double clicking on the spreadsheet to open the file.
While there are many different tools that can be used to analyze prefetch files, three of the most useful tools to date are Prefetch_info.exe3 (Prefetch _parse_gui.exe) by Mark McKinnon, WinPrefetch View by NirSoft, and the EnCase EnScript PFDump4 (V2.2) created by Dominik Weber.
Prefetch_info.exe is a Windows command line tool that neatly parses out both the file's metadata (time stamps), and the NTFS/MFT file log. Prefetch_info.exe can only be run on one prefetch file at a time. This tool can quickly return results on a prefetch file of interest.
The second tool by Mark McKinnon, Prefetch_parse_gui.exe is a graphical based tool that analyzes a whole directory of prefetch files. NirSoft's WinPrefetch View is modularized with the top section listing each prefetch file along with all its associated metadata. The bottom section displays the NTFS/MFT log data for the prefetch entry that is selected in the top section. Figure 2 shows the interface for WinPrefetch View. By default this tool will read the prefetch files of the local computer system. The Advanced Options entry under the Options tab allows you to select another location where prefetch files might have been extracted out of an image. The metadata shown below can be sorted by columns and any results of interest can be exported to HTML reports.
Click for larger image.
Figure 2: WinPrefetch View
The most extensive analytical prefetch tool seen so far is Dominik Weber's PFDump EnScript. The EnScript will identify all the prefetch files on the loaded hard drive and identify if the prefetch file is a hosting application prefetch file or a regular application prefetch file. If no entries are selected all of the files with the ".pf" extension will be processed. There are two options on the main page, Toggle MFT processing for selected files, and Toggle hash verification for selected files. The Toggle MFT processing for selected files allows the option to extract and process any Master File Table record information that is located within the prefetch file. EnCase's Console will provide a status of the EnScript's operation, while the prefetch artifacts for the selected files are placed in EnCase's Bookmark section. Figure 3 shows the options available when analyzing identified application hosting prefetch files, and the output of an identified command line used to start compmgmt.msc. When working with application hosting files, by default PFDump will try many different standard command line options that the hosting application might have used to execute the process. Identifying how a process of interest was started and the options used might prove useful during forensic analysis. There is also an entry to insert a suspected command line option that might have been used to start a process. This can be used to verify a command line option that might have been discovered in unallocated space.

If the prefetch files have been purposefully or systematically deleted through routine maintenance, there is still a chance to recover prefetch files of interest. Common sense in computer forensics states that any file that has been deleted can be recovered as long as the file has not been overwritten. The same rule holds true for prefetch files. A common method to search for and extract files is to search for a file's header. Since every file has a distinguished file header, we can search through unallocated space looking for the specified prefetch file header. That header in ASCII is "….SCCA". In hexadecimal, the prefetch file is represented as "11 00 00 00 53 43 43 41". Once the file has been identified it can be carved out and analyzed with one of the aforementioned tools. Since prefetch files do not have file footers it is okay if extra data is carved out when extracting a potential prefetch file. Any excess data will be easily recognized and discarded.
When analyzing prefetch files there are a few items to note: When certain applications are executed and are in an "open state" the prefetch file will not be created until the application is closed. For instance, if the application netcat was executed for the first time on June 14th, at 13:00:00, but the file was not shut down until June 15th, at 15:00:00, the prefetch file will not be created until the netcat application is closed, twenty-six hours later than when it was first executed. This delay in file creation will throw off timeline analysis. Programs that are located in a user's Startup directory will not create a prefetch file.
When performing an Internet search for prefetch files, many of the initial findings are telling users to remove the prefetch files to speed up their computers. This may not be a sign of anti-forensics. The lack of prefetch files may be due to the system's registry key settings, "Enable Prefetcher," which might have been modified to disable prefetching. Below is the registry key that controls what actions the operating system will take with regard to prefetching. By default Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 have a value of "3," which has both application and boot prefetching enabled. On Windows 2003 systems the default value is "2," which is why there is no application prefetching.
- HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\MemoryManagement\Prefetch paramters
- Value: 0 "zero" = Prefetching is disabled
- Value: 1 = Application Prefetching is enabled
- Value: 2 = Boot Prefetching is enabled
- Value: 3 = Both application & boot prefetching is enabled5
The existence of a prefetch file for Windows Defragmenting tools, DRAG.exe and DFRNTFS.exe also does not necessarily indicate a user removing prefetch files, or defragging their computer to cover up some malicious activity. The Windows operating system, specifically the Task Scheduler, will start the defrag process to reallocate entries in the Layout.ini file. When this occurs a new prefetch file will be created, DFRNTFS.exe and DEFRAG.exe. If these prefetch files already existed the run count will be incremented by one each time it was run.
This article reveals the many different forensic artifacts that can be recovered from prefetch file analysis while conducting forensic analysis. Whether prefetch file analysis can help in an investigation depends on the type of forensic investigation that is being conducted.

The space shuttle Discovery and its crew of seven are dropping off thousands of pounds of equipment at the International Space Station.
The equipment, which includes a treadmill, is for the other six astronauts already posted to the space station. Discovery will remain in orbit for a week and the astronauts will perform three space walks. One of those astronauts onboard the shuttle is Patrick Forrester. He carried into space with him a battery box from martyred missionary Nate Saint's plane.
"Bringing attention to and renewing interest in missions would be a great result of this experience," Forrester said.
Saint and four other missionaries were killed by a tribe of Waodani Indians in the jungles of Ecuador in 1956.

Inglehoffer Traditional Dijon Mustard
Product Review
According to our tasters, the taste of Inglehoffer Traditional Dijon Mustard was a bit of a head-scratcher. From its "floral," "slightly sweet" flavor to its "weird, garlicky" aftertaste, this mustard was not a huge hit with volunteers, although a few were fans of how mild it tasted, being "not spicy at all."

August 28, 2012 - New Holland Confirms a Consistent Emissions Reduction Strategy for Its Entire Tier 4B Model Line-Up
NEW HOLLAND, Pa. - New Holland Agriculture has confirmed its Tier 4B strategy for its entire model line-up, which will provide tailored emissions technology across the full product range. This is the concrete realization of the emissions reduction roadmap, which has had ECOBlueTM SCR technology at its heart since 2010, and reaffirms that this technology will be the sole solution for high horsepower machines for Tier 4B compliance. This technological consistency between Tier 4A and Tier 4B means users of high horsepower products will experience no change in operation.
"Over the last three years, New Holland Agriculture, thanks to ECOBlueTM SCR technology, has provided customers with cutting edge solutions that have significantly enhanced their efficiency and productivity. Today, New Holland offers 30 tractors and 16 harvesting Tier 4A compliant products, which have continually proven the significant fuel savings ECOBlueTM SCR technology offers," stated Franco Fusignani, Head of New Holland Agriculture. "The ECOBlueTM SCR only technology that will be used for Tier 4B compliance on high horsepower products is protected by numerous patents, and will further enhance the profitability of all agricultural operations. Tractors below 120 hp will also benefit from this industry-leading solution. This is consistent with our approach to emissions reduction technology, with carryover from Tier 4A to Tier 4B for high horsepower products, while maintaining a distinct solution for sub-120 hp machines to best suit their packaging requirements." Furthermore, New Holland is widely recognized by the world's farmers as their sustainable farming partner, and reducing machine emissions is a cornerstone of the Clean Energy Leader strategy.
Productivity and profitability enhancing ECOBlueTM SCR technology: 10% lower fuel consumption and up to 13% improved transient response at Tier 4AECOBlueTM SCR technology has established itself as the productivity and efficiency benchmark in the over 120 hp segment. This has been continually validated by independent international tests. The new T6 range features a FPT Industrial ECOBlueTM SCR Nef engine. The T6.160 recorded an average 10% lower fuel consumption than its Tier 3 predecessor, the T6040, in recent North American Nebraska tests. These results are further confirmation of the Nef engine's outstanding fuel efficiency, following the impressive results already achieved by the T7 in 2010. This saving is also replicated on the heavy-duty FPT Industrial ECOBlueTM SCR Cursor engines, with the T8.390 registering an average fuel consumption reduction of over 10% in the North American Nebraska tests.
Overall productivity has been significantly enhanced thanks to improved engine transient response. On T6 models, the engine reacts up to 13% quicker when load is applied when compared to the equivalent Tier 3 model. This means that the engine is better able to respond to increases in load, for example when encountering a hill during road transport, and minimizes tractor 'slow down'. Moreover, when combined with higher maximum torque values and increased Engine Power Management bands, ECOBlueTM SCR technology has significantly enhanced overall machine performance.
Furthermore, the Tier 4A compliant common rail F5C engines with Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation technology, introduced on the T5 range, also benefit from significant improvements in performance. Advanced common rail technology enables precision fuelling for an improved transient response when the engine is placed under load when compared to their Tier 3 predecessors.
Internationally proven FPT Industrial SCR solutionsNew Holland can draw on the vast experience of its engine development partner, FPT Industrial. To date, over 240,000 SCR engines have been produced for on and off road applications for guaranteed reliability of operation.
Unchanged operation and tailored productivity enhancing efficiency for high horsepower Tier 4B compliant products with consistent SCR only solution The entire Tier 4B engine range, which will be used on high horsepower machines, has undergone a rigorous research and development process with over 133,000 hours of demanding testing to date to guarantee industry leading performance and reliability. ECOBlueTM SCR technology has been further developed and this after-treatment system is protected by numerous patents, which ensure that New Holland products benefit from the best technology in the business. The list of patents includes:
Compact light CEGR technology with a small SCR system for sub-120hp machines at Tier 4BIn line with New Holland's longstanding roadmap, low horsepower tractors under 120 hp will benefit from specifically designed technology to suit individual packaging requirements. A highly efficient solution which combines light CEGR and a small SCR system has been developed which will further enhance the productivity of these models.
"New Holland is committed to providing every product with the specific Tier 4B solution that it requires, that is why we have adopted a tailored approach,." concluded Franco Fusignani. "Current and future customers will benefit from advanced technological solutions which make their operations even more efficient. Our Tier 4B solution is a key strand of New Holland's overarching Clean Energy Leader strategy to assist farmers in increasing productivity to keep pace with the soaring global demand for agricultural commodities."

Russia's Sukhoi has rocked the 50th Paris Air Show at Le Bourget with the premiere of its cutting-edge Su-35 fighter. Super-maneuverable even for a Sukhoi, the Su-35 has been dubbed the "UFO" for its outstanding maneuverability.
View full story
According to statements given by some American top military officials and experts amongst them designer of F-16 and some other foreign experts such as Canadian, Australian and British both F-22 Raptor and JSF F-35 are absolute rubbish. F-22 was somehow better than F-35 which was declared as a flying bucket. Reason being is that F-35 is too bulky, underpowered and manoeuvrable as kinetic projectile. That is due to it bulkiness and small wings marred with weak engines. On the tests this aircraft was unable to exceed speed of sound, never mind fly 2+ Mach. In this point in time Russia is the most advanced power.
Hahahahah russia has better planes then america hahahaha
Whith the possibility of the whole F35 Joint Strike Figther Lightening, cancelled, after The US/Gov.Pentagon/Nort hrop-Grumman-Lockhee d Martin's Chinese (unfortune cookies, aka. Microchips counterfeits), notto forget that a Brittish company also sold cheap ripoff's microshipsto the US dept. of Defence! But it sure makes one wonder, Who took the (savings?) From those gigantic defence budget, they allredy have! But all in all that project have failed from the start! By Russian Planes! Just look at their performances and the slim lines, they are marvels, and Vertical takeoff, how did the SU 37 do that?
With such formidable jet fighters, not to mention other hardware such as stealth, heavy bomber jets, and advanced missiles, torpedoes, submarines, and radars, Russia's military will catapult to the top soon, overtaking the US qualitatively. That China is even seeking to buy the Sukho-35 speaks volumes of Russia's scientific research and development prowess. I tip my hat to you, Mr Putin.
f-35 its poorly armored has bad flight ability and because of the central fan and weight of that fan and the basic airframe design for the navy / air force and army is the same therefore the limited weapons it can carry because the centre cargo bomb bay has a big vertical thrust fan in it for the navy version and they all carry the same airframe.. the main fault is weight.
I love the pro american sabre rattling... you forget that russian ICBMs were and still are about 20 years ahead of american.. Don't kid yourselves. the f35 is a joke in comparison.. it might have the range with AIM but its a over rated slow piece of junk that even a f14 could shoot down.
Can we exchange presidents...please
Russian technology of the third generation destroy American technologies of the fifth generation
what is the price su-35?I mean lower or higher than similar from USA.
Plasma stealth doesn`t exist!!!!
AIM-54 is obsolete, AIM-120C and D have far better characteristics
SLEP, update re-engine F14 & new AIM54 fill gap until F35 hits fleet. Cheaper than new FA-18E/F
Thrust vectoring?
Typhoon doesn't have any, still it would outmaneuver most of the planes that have it.
I wasn't talking about AIM-54, I was talking about AIM-120D, which has 50% longer range than AIM-120C (which has a range close to 60 nm). Phoenix missiles are long off service btw.
And forget about lasers and plasma stealth stuff, nobody will invest in research right now
Weep JSF-35, weep, that is if the JSF-35 ever works properly!!! Russia rules!
Phalanx CIWS should also add laser to each CIWS unit w/finned, guided bullets! Lock-on,kill incoming
SuperManuverability defeatable by finned, laser-guided bullets in Vulcan cannon. Auto laser lock-on
See we are lvl with u in tech and skill so plz dont overestimate your capability USAF. Or else
