Weights From Pharr, TX: Molina 135 Lb, Jimenez 135 Lb.
By Jake Donovan
It's déjà vu all over again for Carlos Molina. The squat lightweight prospect returns to the Convention Center in Pharr, Texas for his second straight fight, once again appearing on Telefutura Solo Boxeo.
There is nothing wrong with either scenario, as it only helps the unbeaten Californian develop a fan base outside of his immediate hometown.
What is of concern is that the 5'6" boxer is once again at a considerable height disadvantage, this time giving away three inches as he faces 5'9" Marcos Jimenez in the scheduled 10-round main event.
Both fighters made weight for the televised headliner, each weighing in at the 135 lb. divisional limit.
Molina (16-0-1, 7KO) attempts to win his third straight since surprisingly fighting to an eight-round draw against journeyman Juan Montiel last August. Each of Molina's past four contests have gone to the scorecards, including his 10-round decision over 5'10" Angino Perez this past March.
The Dominican-born Jimenez (18-3, 12KO) has fought almost exclusively in Puerto Rico, though enters this fight on the heels of an unsuccessful stateside debut. A trip to Las Vegas earlier this year resulted in a violent knockout loss to red hot prospect Diego Magdaleno.
All three of Jimenez' losses have come inside the distance, though he managed to avenge an upset knockout loss to Edel Ruiz with a split decision win a year later.
Full weigh-in results:
Carlos Molina, 135 lb. v. Marcos Jimenez, 135 lb – 10 rds, lightweight (TV main event)
Jerry Guevara, 121.75 lb v. Victor Sanchez, 121.75 – 6 rds, super featherweight (TV co-feature)
Isaac Torres, 117.5 lb v. Mario Delgado, 118 lb. – 4 rds, bantamweight (TV swing bout)
Marc Torres, 136 lb v. Eduardo Alvarado, 134.5 lb – 4 rds, lightweight
James Cantu, 139.75 lb v. Hector Garza, 139 lb – 6 rds, super lightweight
Enrique Alvarez, 149.75 lb v. Gerardo Alvarado, 151.75 lb – 4 rds, super welterweight
Eric Molina, 236 lb v. Andrew Greeley, 239 lb. – 6 rds, heavyweight
Ivan Rios, 124.75 lb v. Elio Ruiz, 120 lb – 4 rds, featherweight

Recent Anna Maria reviews
"This house has so many wonderful features! Being on the canal was wonderful, the home itself is very large and very spacious. It was set up with any thing that we needed, tools, beach supplies, cooking utensils, Linens, you name it! It is a very short walk to the beach which is awesome! There are many restaurants right nearby, we truly enjoyed our stay and will be back for sure!"Guest: s h. Date of Stay: July 2016 Review Submitted: August 12, 2016View listing
"We hadn't visited Anna Maria before but the island exceeded our expectations. This was an awesome house to stay at. It was spacious, nicely decorated, clean and in close proximity to everything we needed, just a short walk or cycle ride to the beach and some shops/restaurants. Having our own pool was great and we also spent time on the beautiful beach each day and were grateful that there were beach umbrellas and chairs to use. We cooked quite a few meals in the kitchen and found everything we needed and also used the grill in the back yard and enjoyed visiting the amazing restaurants on the island. We rented a car since we had to drive from the airport and it did come in handy at times, but there is a free trolley that regularly comes by at the end of the street. Overall we had a wonderful, relaxing time and we all have so many great memories. Five stars from us, we will definitely be back here to stay for longer next time."Guest: Claudia Date of Stay: May 2016 Review Submitted: July 16, 2016View listing
"We had a wonderful vacation here at Anna Maria Island. The location was perfect and we used the free trolley bus service to get around. There are plenty of excellent restaurants within walking distance or by Trolley. Although we did have a car it was not required. This was our first vacation on Anna Maria Island and one day we will return. There were 6 of us staying at the cottage, 4 of us from the UK and 2 friends from Michigan. There was plenty of room for all of us. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool. The property was very clean and the owners were very helpful prior to our vacation."Guest: Norman H. Date of Stay: November 2015 Review Submitted: January 15, 2016View listing
"Wow. We are looking back on our one-week stay at Coconuts as the best vacation of our life. The property exceeded our expectations in every aspect. It was spotlessly clean and located across the street from one of the very best beach access points. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything we needed. We felt completely at home which made it so much easier to just relax and enjoy the beach and everything that Anna Maria Island has to offer. We were in easy walking distance to restaurants, parks, playgrounds for the grandkids, and so much more. I cannot think of a single suggestion for the owner. There were even plenty of beach toys for the grandkids and a wagon to haul them to the beach. It was just perfect. We are already making plans to return for another week."Guest: Ed W.

Robber misplaced gun in robbery, police say
MISSION VIEJO – A robber searched his backpack, left the store, then returned and rummaged through his pack again until he found and pulled a handgun from his pocket, authorities said.
"I'm not sure, but I think he forgets where he puts the gun," said Jim Amormino, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
Investigators are hoping surveillance video from the Feb. 14 robbery may help identify a suspect.
The robbery occurred at a 7-Eleven store about 1:30 a.m., Amormino said.
The man grabbed a bottle of Aquafina water, then set it on the counter along with a black backpack, Amormino said.
Surveillance video shows the man rummaging through his backpack as if looking for the $1.79 cost of the water.
He then leaves the backpack on the counter, leaves the store and returns to the counter.
The man then pulled out a handgun and demanded that the clerk empty two registers, Amormino said. He also asked for a carton of cigarettes before leaving the store.
The entire robbery took several minutes.
Anyone with information is asked to contact authorities at 1-866-TIP-OCSD or 1-866-847-6273.

Oscar Winners & Partygoers
Wow, what a crazy night. There were a lot of upsetsstarting with three "Bourne Ultimatum" wins, and continuing through to "Taxi From the Darkside" beating "Sicko" and Marion Cotillard and Tilda Swinton. The Scene-Stealers Oscar Party was fantastic; thanks to everybody who helped out, and congratulations to Betsy Hatch, who picked most of those upsets and cleaned up, winning all the cash last night! We should have the online ballots tallied some time tomorrow. There are a crap-ton to go through, so the competition will be very stiff for the Netfliz subscription!Huge thanks go out from J.D. and myself to Dustin Schirer, Ryan Dambro, Nick Colby, John Davis, Megan Dambro, Josh Longbottom, Phil Plante, and Dana Collins for putting in a lot of time and effort to make a big event like this happen. You are amazing, and we couldn't have done it without you.Okay, so "Juno" didn't win Best Picture like I predicted. That's good, I didn't really want it to win, I just thought I'd call an upset so that if it actually did happen, I could say I called it. Instead, I'm a satisfied and happy movie fan who loves the fact that dark, strange movies like "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood" took home as many as they did.Joel and Ethan Coen's meditative thriller No Country for Old Men won Best Picture and three other statues at the 80th annual Academy Awards on Sunday night. There Will Be Blood, which, like No Country for Old Men entered the evening with eight nominations apiece, picked up two awards. Here is the complete list of winners:No Country for Old Men, Best PictureJoel Coen and Ethan Coen, No Country for Old Men, DirectorDaniel Day-Lewis, There Will Be Blood, Actor in a Leading RoleDiablo Cody, Juno, Original Screenplay_Taxi to the Dark Side_, Documentary Feature_Freeheld_, Documentary Short_Atonement_, Original ScoreThere Will Be Blood, Cinematography"Falling Slowly" from Once, Original Song_The Counterfeiters, Foreign-Language Film_The Bourne Ultimatum, Film EditingMarion Cotillard_, La Vie En Rose,_ Actress in a Leading Role_The Bourne Ultimatum,_ Sound Mixing_The Bourne Ultimatum,_ Sound EditingJoel Coen and Ethan Coen_, No Country for Old Men,_ Adapted ScreenplayTilda Swinton_, Michael Clayton,_ Supporting Actress_Peter & the Wolf,_ Animated Short_Le Mozart des Pickpockets,_ Live-Action ShortJavier Bardem_, No Country for Old Men,_ Supporting Actor_Sweeney Todd,_ Art Direction_The Golden Compass,_ Visual Effects_Ratatouille,_ Animated Feature_La Vie en Rose, Makeup_Elizabeth: The Golden Age, CostumesRobert Boyle, honorary OscarNick Colby, all-around kick ass bald dude

Safeguard your inventory, and also your customers and employees walking underneath, without sacrificing easy contact to your manufactured goods. In each plant & warehouse, protective security is a continuing job. The pre-engineered Security Ranked Systems deliver all you need, such as routine fitted guarding and all intensifying hardware.
Wire partition
Wire-partitions are sentimental steel structure used for security, safety, and separation. Welded, mesh or woven is strongly welded inside well-made angle frames to design one wire-partition-panel. The wire-mesh-partition panels then attached to an equal four-sided steel tubing supports that create a tough and unbending modular barrier or enclosure.
Wire woven to a 2″x1″ mesh, & joined to a slant iron frame, panels bolt into 2″x2″ square poles. Components simply assembled to build tool cribs, safe storage, or to part of room close off. Offered with sibling doors and sliding doors.
Ten measured horizontal wires to a 2″ x 2″ middle-to-middle equal four-sided mesh joined at the nodes and then safely welded on complete four sides to roll created angle frames. This make an extremely tough partition wall. Offered with swing or hinged doors.
Dock Door Safety Cages
Guard the access into your warehouse by dockside personnel-doors. Driver safety cages offer a safe waiting zone for truck drivers, service crew, delivery men, and other visitors.
Partitions are created with strong welded wire-mesh for total security.
Holding Cells for prisoners
Holding lockups are an answer to short-term or long-term minimum safety holding facilities. Ideal temporary detention for big events or open facilities (airports, arenas etc). Used by interior, national and federal-law enforcement agencies, civilian authorities and military police.
Additional Wire Partitions and Enclosures Information
Wire enclosures and security cages enable you to decide the gate type and size that best suitable your application. Panels bolt support posts directly, which are fixed maximum on 10′-2″ middle. Set up is quicker than expensive wire enclosures. The design consumes fewer overall parts, making set up quicker and easy.
They're based on thought of four' or five' top panels stacked one on pinnacle of the other among tubular posts to attain preferred partition top. Enclosures are secure, as hardware is inaccessible from the out of doors of the partition. Three/8″ meeting hardware is the heaviest inside the industry. Each version indexed consists of posts, panels, gate with cylinder lock, meeting hardware, and floor anchors. Straight lines and clean outdoors makes a good-looking completion on your garage place.
Utilize cord mesh cages and walls for safety areas, to save you pilferage, to surround paintings regions, and to create customized. Excellent for stock rooms and other cozy places.
Panels deploy horizontally, between tubular posts. The panels are four or five feet tall, have lengths of 1 to 10 ft (other sizes are available). Two or extra panels are stacked to attain complete partition peak. Posts are 8'5″ and 10'5″ lengths, and are to be had for any top partition, as much as 40′.
Cord mesh wall and ceiling panels are interchangeable…totally modular. This feature simplifies relocation and format modifications. Partitions are constructed with durable 3/eight" hardware. Once hooked up, the hardware isn't handy from the exterior. Moreover, the panel's all welded creation, mixed with the posts welded base plates, provide unequaled energy and security.

We are originally from Brazil but have lived in Vancouver for quite a while (I don't want to date myself!). My husband Jorge is a carpenter and is also building a catamaran, for which I highly admire him! I have a business that I am very proud of, called Mogiana Coffee. I import coffee directly from my family's estate in Brazil. It is one of the best coffees you will ever taste (of course I am a little biased!), with over 120 years of tradition behind it.
Jorge Babosa purchased this apartment in 2012
We love the area! And we fell in love with the openness of the place with its 9'6' windows and panoramic view!
You can walk all over downtown from this central location. It is the best way to explore the many sights available!
My family of four spent 3 nights here. The condo was clean and as described in the description. It was fairly tight with 4 people in the condo, but was very nice considering we were in the heart of the city. The beds were comfortable in the two bedrooms. I enjoyed the small balcony which is fairly rare in this area to get a birds eye view of the city life. We did drive here, and being able to purchase a parking pass for the garage in the condo was nice as other parking options would have been challenging. As other reviewers stated you can hear city noises at night but that's to be expected when you stay in the city. Jorge was helpful in answering our questions and I would recommend this place if you want to be within walking distance to the downtown attractions.
The location of this apartament is great, the property owner was very helpfull when needed, we had a leatle problem with the air condicioner and the fan in the bedroom, the fan defenily needs to be replaced, maybe with an aircondicioner, but overall it was an amazing experience staing at Jorge's apartament. Thanks again Jorge.
We (myself, my wife, 3 year old son and my mom) stayed in this condo around July. The best part about this condo is it's location. It's located right in front of Granville Street and at a walking distance to most downtown attractions. It can get noisy with the downtown buzz in late evenings if you decide to keep the windows open - we actually liked the downtown buzz. We loved eating out in the downtown restaurants, which were at a walking distance from this place.
The kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Please remember to bring your own tea and coffee. The unit is on the small'ish side for a group size of four, if you are travelling with elderly people. My mom is over sixty and had difficulty getting in and out of the loft. But this shouldn't be an issue if the family configuration is a couple travelling with kids. The unit tends to get pretty hot in July afternoons and the portable air conditioner in the living room couldn't keep up. Actually, the AC stopped working after a few hours and the owner was super helpful in letting me know that I had to drain the water from its back to fix the issue. It resumed after I drained the water, but then it stopped again after an hour so I decided to give up.
I would recommend this unit if you're looking to stay near the downtown, but it can get quite pricey in the summer.
Great place. Very central. Great host, with some good ideas of where to visit. Lively area, can be noisy at night. The loft bed is challenging for someone older. Well equipped kitchen. Did miss the little extras we had in previous properties (tea, Coffee etc). The tv remote was hard to sort until we found out batteries where dead, something the host should check. We also loaded the laundry into machine before we found out the laundry card didn't have money on and then had to go down to basement to load it, you had to add 10 dollars. But overall a nice stay.
We spent three nights in this property in early July and found it perfect for our needs. We were exploring the city for a few days after attending a wedding on Bowen Island. The condo is very centrally located in downtown Vancouver. We walked all over downtown from the condo, including going to Granville Island, Gastown, Canada Place, the aquarium at Stanley Park, and a concert in David Lam Park. We only used a cab when we went to the Tearoom in Stanley Park for dinner.
The condo itself is very well-appointed and decorated. The accommodations were perfect for my husband, teenaged son, and me. Jorge was also very helpful to us. We would stay here again!
My mother and I enjoyed our visit to Vancouver in large part because of the fabulous location of this apartment. The kitchen had everything I needed to make meals when we wanted to eat in. The beds were comfortable. The owners were friendly and helpful. We walked to fabulous shopping, great shows, and excellent restaurants. The place was clean enough. It could use a deep cleaning (then again, so could my home). I will definitely stay here again on my next visit to Vancouver.

New avian flu vaccination technique shows promise
Jul 05, 2008
Philadelphia - A new way to vaccinate against avian flu, developed at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, could better protect against mutations and multiple flu strains.
By delivering vaccine via DNA, making the vaccine part of the cell instead of providing a simple immune response to one particular flu strain, the treatment could be better equipped to fight off the rapidly changing disease than a typical vaccination.
Avian flu is changing constantly, thus presenting challenges for creating vaccine stockpiles in the event of an outbreak, researchers say. The new discovery could solve that problem, because the new vaccination would work against multiple strains.

The Middle East
I Want That You Are Always Happy
(Missing Piece)
US: 12 Jul 2011
UK: 7 Jun 2011
The Middle East, from Australia, know how to make a beautiful sound. The folk-inspired pop on I Want That You Are Always Happy is the kind of sound bands like Mumford & Sons wish they could make. It's energetic instead of shrill, deliberate rather than plodding, and the best parts of this record mesh a pop sensibility with the dusty folk feel of stringed instruments without dulling down either side. Songs like "Jesus Came to My Birthday Party" and "Hunger Song" are pastoral and sweet, the hooks deep and lasting, but they also up the ante on the overly quiet opener, "Black Death, 1349". While that song confirms the beauty of the band's sound, it, along with a handful of other songs, feels too languid to hold your attention, particularly because the band can be just as beautiful when it picks up the pace. The balladry still has its moments—the haunting "As I Go to See Janey" in particular—but the Middle East is most compelling when it applies a power-pop bent to otherwise hushed parts. The band combines the two better than most bands out there, and manages to maintain a reverence toward its influences all the way through. I Want that You Are Always Happy is an honest sound, one with as much darkness as it has light, and though it slows too much in spots, the record has more than enough compelling moments to bring you back for future spins.

Next-gen firewalls require external visibility tools
Knowing what's happening on your network is a pre-requisite to controlling the traffic. We call that visibility because it combines all of the information the firewall knows, including session and application information, traffic volumes, and rate information, into a way to "see" into your network -- to give you visibility.
In a traditional firewall, visibility is a nice-to-have, because security policy dictates what ports are allowed inbound and outbound and other tools, such as Netflow analyzers, can be used to dig into traffic. In next-generation firewalls, where the emphasis is on controlling application usage, visibility is a requirement.
Next-gen firewalls: Off to a good start
Applications may have many different names and categories, and compared to ports and IP addresses, we found tremendous variation and ambiguity. Without visibility and knowing how the firewall classifies each application it identifies, you can't write the rules that make a next generation firewall "next-generation."
We quickly found that if you want good reporting, you need to have an external device to do it. SonicWall and Fortinet both have internal reporting engines; both engines had problems during our testing, which was entirely expected by the on-site engineers.
Fortunately, all products have off-box reporting engines that are critical to offering next-generation visibility. Check Point customers are not off the hook here either, because the standard Check Point reporting system won't do — you really must add on the optional SmartEvent to get the visibility required for next generation firewalls.
Fortinet FortiGate and Check Point Security Gateway (SmartEvent) gave us the best visibility into our traffic, with a combination of drill-downs, visual reporting including charts, lists, and "top-10" type lists. FortiGate's on-box dashboard was an especially slick visualization tool, which let us add "widgets" that included mini-reports that were constantly updated. FortiGate's dashboard wasn't just a visualization tool, because it included the ability to drill-down to get additional information. Our only complaint about the dashboard is that the display tool crashed in our browser several times during testing.
The FortiGate reporting engine is based on an SQL database and Fortinet isn't shy about exposing the internals of the database. All reports are configured within the firewall and you can easily get to the raw SQL used to generate the results. If you're the type of network manager who wants a lot of very custom reports, but don't want to extract the data and dump them into your own database, Fortinet's approach will be very attractive.
SonicWall and Barracuda also have good visibility tools, but we found them weaker than what Fortinet and Check Point offered. SonicWall confuses the issue a bit by having four separate visibility tools, ranging from the on-box tools (only suitable in very small environments) to their enterprise-class management system, SonicWall GMS.
We looked at GMS, and were disappointed to see that there isn't feature parity between the on-box reporting and the high-end GMS. For example, in on-box reporting you can generally drill down to individual log entries, and then go directly to policy editing if you want. With GMS, you can drill down, but if you want to change policy, you'll have to go find the affected rule yourself before you can start editing it.
Visibility isn't just reporting and top-10 lists; you also might want to look at what is happening in the firewall right at this moment. Instantaneous reporting is a weakness of most firewalls, but we found a great reporting screen in the Barracuda NG firewall that let us see open connections flowing through the firewall in real time.
Overall, we think that the visibility tools we found offer a good start into what is needed for next generation firewalls. All of the products have slightly different approaches, but it was clear that an off-box reporting engine — even if you only have a single firewall — is a minimum requirement to effectively build next-generation firewall policies.
Fortinet's FortiGate FortiAnalyzer and Check Point Security Gateway SmartEvent led the pack, with Barracuda NG Firewall and SonicWall SonicOS falling slightly behind in our feature-focused comparison.

Chapter 1
I lie motionless on the sidewalk, my head pounds, as a woman stands over me. I have a red veil over my eyes that makes my vision crystal clear. I look deep into the woman's blood red pupils. She holds a knife that has a handle with a carved owl on it. She's going to kill me.

Italian opera star Enzo Stuarti died of heart failure in Midland, Texas, on Friday (16DEC05). He was 86.
The stage and TV singer appeared in over a dozen Broadway, New York musicals, including AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, SOUTH PACIFIC and Kiss Me Kate.
Stuarti's vocals were well-recognised thanks to his singing on the Ragu spaghetti sauce advertisements.
His son says, "Those commercials helped his fame."
Stuarti has lived in Midland since 2004, with his Texan second wife THELMA.

Opera 10.53
Opera 10.53 offers high-speed browsing thanks to fast JavaScript rendering and a Turbo mode, along with many customisation features
- Incredibly fast and secure
- A few bugs need ironing out
Bottom Line
Opera is a very fast, secure and standards-compliant Web browser. Its very power is also something of a hindrance as some users may find the wide range of preferences too bountiful to easily tweak to suit. Mac users may prefer to wait for some bugs to be ironed out if they're used to the stability of Safari or Firefox. In the highly competitive world of Web browsers, Opera is a name to watch, and emphatically a browser worth trying.
PriceFree (AUD)
Special Offers
Now that the Windows world is weaning itself from Internet Explorer, another serious alternative exists alongside Google Chrome and Apple Safari as an alternative to Mozilla Firefox.
Opera has been around for 14 years, but the latest version is every bit as fast and powerful as the very best of the competition, and offers useful features unavailable elsewhere.
With mobile internet becoming increasingly popular, Opera also offers two versions for use on mobile phones – Opera Mobile and Opera Mini – but for this review we'll look over the regular desktop version - available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
In start contrast to IE, Opera has long made a point of following open web standards in its rendering engine. This once used to undermine its reputation, when pages would look incomplete compared to the same sites on the predominant Microsoft browser.
But thankfully the days of IE-specific site coding are closing, and most websites tend to appear faithfully on standards-compliant browsers.
We tried the Acid3 compliance test to check the current state of play. Firefox 3.6.3 scored a close 94/100, while Safari 4.0.5, Google Chrome 4.1 for Windows and Opera 10.53 all scored a perfect 100/100. Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 still fails significantly, scoring just 20/100.
To gauge JavaScript speed, we tried the Sun Spider test on the above versions of Firefox, Opera and Safari. Firefox trailed at 1005 millisecond, Safari came second at 487ms while Opera finished first with 410ms.
Interface and layout
The interface of Opera is relatively clean, with tabs arrayed across the top by default. On Windows 7, these tabs feature translucent Quick Peek previews. But in this widescreen age, it's handy that you can also put tabs on one side – with permanent page thumbnails – giving more vertical headroom for page content.
Clicking a button at the browser's bottom-left corner reveals unnamed icons in a slim slide-out panel. These provide links to items such as Bookmarks, Downloads and History. Extra panels can be added via the + sign here.
Your favourite sites can be bookmarked within a Speed Dial page – a layout copied in Safari as Top Sites – which gives large site thumbnails across a complete page; by default in a 3x3 matrix, which can be expanded up to 25 sites in 5x5 form.
Adding new sites to Speed Dial is not as straightforward as we'd hoped. From a given Web page, there's no simple button or even contextual menu to do so; instead you go back to a Speed Dial page, right-click on a vacant space, click Edit, then chose from a list of recently visited sites to find and insert your chosen site.
Opera's Turbo mode helps speed page loading on slower connections, by recompressing images on Opera's servers before you receive them.
Turbo is off by default, and can be set to always on, or automatic, sensing when you're on a slow internet connection.
This compression reduces image quality slightly of course, but more politically charged, it entails all your viewed web pages to go through one of Opera's six worldwide server farms. These handle a lot of traffic: in the last month alone, they served 26 billion pages, almost three times the total number of search requests that Google fielded in the same time.
Norway is outside of the EU and its regulations, and while the company complies with local laws and states that it doesn't store personal browsing history as does Google with its tracking cookies, Opera's subsidiary is the advertising aggregator AdMarvel.
It's unclear if or how AdMarvel makes use of this vast and valuable archive of user browsing habits. And Opera Mini, for example, always uses Opera's proxies for server-side compression, so mobile surfing is certainly being thoroughly monitored.
Other features
Elsewhere in Opera, useful security and privacy features are found. Private browsing can be started on a single tab, rather than through an entire browsing session. Plug-ins can be blocked on a site-by-site basis, even if global blocking of Flash, for instance, requires more expert knowledge of the browser's configuration, and some third-party scripting.
A simpler and more transparent process to block/allow unwanted elements such as Flash, JavaScript and Java would be welcome.
Other interesting features in Opera 10.53 include support for themes, including a transparent glass theme for Windows 7; and new support for multi-touch gestures in Mac OS X, such as pinch-to-zoom and three-finger page navigation. Two-finger scrolling here is strangely over-accelerated though.
Opera Link usefully enables synchronising of bookmarks, history and saved searches across different computers, and does so automatically in the background once you've opened a free account with Opera.
The opportunity to open recently closed tabs is a handy asset. And full control of Opera through the keyboard, rather than mouse, will appeal to both disabled and power users. There's even a built-in BitTorrent client.
Issues we encountered include occasional crashes and hangs in OS X, and some unpredictable open of tabs – sometimes in the background as expected, sometimes with the new tab taking focus.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
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.
Simon Harriott
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.
