COPENHAGEN Denmark's parliament passed measures on Tuesday aimed at deterring refugees from seeking asylum, including confiscating valuables to pay for their stay, despite protests from international human rights organisations.
The measures, which also include extending family reunification among refugees from one year to three years, are the latest sign that the Nordic welcome for refugees is waning as large numbers flee war in Africa and Middle East for a better life in Europe.
The "jewellery bill" is the latest attempt by Denmark's minority centre-right government to curb immigration to a country that took in a record 20,000 refugees last year.
Under the bill, refugees could keep possessions amounting to 10,000 Danish crowns ($1,450), raised from 3,000 crowns after criticism from human rights organisations. Valuables of special emotional value such as wedding rings will be exempt.
The Liberals Party government has just 34 out of 179 seats in parliament and depends on support of rightist parties, including the anti-immigration Danish People's Party (DF), to pass laws.
During a three and a half hour debate, dissenting voices from small leftwing parties were heard including from Red Green Alliance.
But the bill passed with an overwhelming majority, backed by the main centre-left opposition party Social Democrats, highlighting a shift to the right in Denmark's political landscape thanks to DF's popularity and rising concern over refugee numbers.
"I wouldn't say that I have become racist or anything," said Poul Madsen, a taxi driver, before the bill was passed. "But I may be more aware of the fact that this has some downsides and may be a potential problem for our society and our economy."
Denmark is not the only one Nordxic country trying to shut its doors to migrants. Sweden, which took in over 160,000 refugees last year, the most per capita in Europe, introduced checks on its border to Denmark at the start of the year.
Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven promised on Monday more resources for police after an employee was stabbed to death at a refugee centre for unaccompanied minors. A minor was arrested on suspicion of murder or manslaughter after the incident in western Sweden, local TT news agency reported.
A poll on Monday showed support for Lofven's Social Democrats at its lowest for nearly 50 years, in part due to a sense the government was unable to cope with the refugee influx.
Norway, meanwhile, has been trying to send back refugees who crossed over from Russia. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday Moscow would not take them back.
Denmark is also not alone in targeting migrants' valuables. Switzerland has started taking valuables from asylum seekers over 1,000 Swiss francs ($985), the German state of Baden-Württemberg valuables above 350 euros ($380), while other southern states have been reported to do the same.
"Most (refugees) have lost everything and yet this legislation appears to say that the few fortunate enough to have survived the trip to Denmark with their few remaining possessions haven't lost enough," the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) said, mirroring criticism from many organisations.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates in general to electronics and electromechanical equipment, and more particularly to such equipment that is susceptible to corrosion and other damage.
2. Description of Related Art
Many types of electronic and electromechanical equipment are susceptible to corrosion and damage. In particular, when moisture is present with electronic circuits and devices, corrosion tends to occur. In addition, during device processing and implementation, damage can occur to components thereof. The reduction and/or elimination of such corrosion and damage has been important to the operation and longevity of electronic and electromechanical equipment.
One type of equipment that is highly susceptible to corrosion is recording equipment. The functionality and operation of such equipment has become increasingly important, such that corrosion and other damage can have drastic consequences. For example, magnetic recording is a key and invaluable segment of the information-processing industry. While the basic principles are one hundred years old for early tape devices and over forty years old for magnetic hard disk drives, an influx of technical innovations continues to extend the storage capacity and performance of magnetic recording products.
Mass storage devices including magnetic disk drives have been important components of computing platforms. The magnetic disk drive typically includes a rotating magnetic disk, write and read heads that are suspended by a suspension arm above the rotating magnetic disk and an actuator that swings the suspension arm to place the read and write heads over selected circular tracks on the rotating disk. The read and write heads are directly mounted on a slider that has an Air-Bearing Surface (ABS) between the slider and the rotating disk. The suspension arm biases the slider into contact with the surface of the magnetic disk when the magnetic disk is not rotating. However, when the magnetic disk rotates, air is swirled by the rotating disk adjacent to the ABS causing the slider to ride on a cushion of air just above the surface of the rotating magnetic disk. The write and read heads are employed for writing magnetic data to and reading magnetic data from the rotating disk. The read and write heads are connected to processing circuitry that operates according to a computer program to implement the write and read functions.
Unfortunately, corrosion often occurs in magnetic disk drives and heads due to the presence of moisture, which acts as a thin-film electrolyte in combination with oxygen and certain contaminants to drive chemical reactions. To protect against corrosion and damage, carbon-containing overcoats have been used on the disks and heads. Unfortunately, typical overcoats can inhibit the ability to scale the areal density higher because the thickness of the overcoat must be reduced accordingly. As the overcoat is thinned, it loses its ability to protect the disks and heads from corrosion and damage. For example, when overcoats are thinned to about two nanometers or less, the head and disk become particularly susceptible to corrosion and damage.
For HDDs, the type of environment in which the drive resides also significantly affects its performance characteristics. For example, since disk drive performance is determined largely by the rotational speed of the disks, this speed has increased over time. Much of the power dissipated by HDDs is due to drag from air in the HDD enclosure. At low speed, dissipation is due to viscous drag and the power (P) scales approximately according to the equation
P∝ην2 (Equation 1)
η is viscosity and
v is velocity.
At the very high speeds and large Reynolds numbers inside HDDs, the power dissipation is largely due to form drag and the power scales approximately according to the equation
P∝ρν3 (Equation 2)
wherein ρ is the is the density of the gas in the HDD enclosure. Form drag as referenced above relates to drag forces on the spinning disk of the HDD that results from the separation of air near the disk surface. The Reynolds number is a dimensionless ratio of the inertial flow forces to the viscous forces within a fluid, here the environment in which the HDD resides.
Many approaches have previously been used for sealing magnetic disk drives and other electronics equipment to inhibit corrosion and/or to provide an environment that is otherwise beneficial to HDD operation. For example, HDDs have previously been sealed in a non-hermetic fashion to prevent particles from entering the drive using a breather filter to equalize pressure (e.g., as altitude changes). Typical seals employed for HDDs use polymers such as elastomer gaskets and adhesive tape. Unfortunately, these approaches do not prevent moisture from passing into the enclosures (HDDs) that they seal. For instance, the solubility of water in polymers is very high, resulting in high permeation rates for polymer seals. The permeation rate of a gas through a solid is given by the equation
Q=DbPA/h (Equation 3)
with the permeation constant K given by K=Db and wherein:
Q is the permeation rate,
D is the diffusion coefficient,
b is the solubility,
P is the pressure difference across the solid,
A is the cross-sectional area of the solid, and
h is thickness of the solid.
Typical applications involve upwards of about 15 different seals for a single enclosure, with each seal being susceptible to permeation as a function of the above equation(s).
Other approaches to providing desirable sealing are typically difficult to implement and/or expensive. For instance, canning-type methods involving compressed polymers and complex geometry are not readily applicable to HDD implementations. Similarly, sealing approaches involving metal gaskets typically involve relatively high compression forces that are not applicable to typical HDDs, which do not exhibit the stiffness or other characteristics for accommodating large compression forces. Achieving such stiffness or other characteristics for HDDs and other electronic/electro-mechanical equipment would typically involve expensive and bulky enclosures.
The above-discussed issues have presented challenges to the manufacture and implementation of disk drives and other electronics equipment.
To overcome the above-discussed issues and others that will become apparent upon reading and understanding the present specification, the present invention is directed to a method and apparatus that addresses these issues.
In one embodiment according to the present invention, a hermetic sealing approach is implemented with electronic or electromechanical equipment, such as disk drives, that is susceptible to corrosion. The equipment is hermetically sealed in a low-humidity environment, thereby preventing moisture from reaching portions of the equipment that are susceptible to corrosion. With this approach, the corrosion of heads and disks can be reduced and/or eliminated, which allows for the thinning or elimination of protective overcoats on the head and disk. In this regard, the magnetic spacing on disk drives can be reduced independently from overcoat limitations. Moreover, track density, spindle rates and performance can be increased while decreasing drag turbulence, track mis-registration, fly-height (the height above a spinning disk at which heads float) altitude sensitivity and power consumption.
In a more particular example embodiment of the present invention, a magnetic storage system including an HDD is hermetically sealed in a low-humidity, low-density gas environment. The heads of the HDD are implemented without any overcoat protection layer, with the disk having an overcoat that is significantly thin (i.e., less than 2 nanometers) while sufficiently protecting data from head-disk impacts.
In another embodiment according to the present invention, an HDD enclosure includes a metal housing with a thin cover and a multi-pin feedthrough for passing signals to and from an HDD sealed therein. The metal housing is adapted to couple to and substantially enclose the HDD within sidewalls extending upward from a lower base having the opening therein. An upper portion of the sidewalls defines an opening through which the HDD is placed into the metal housing. The feedthrough arrangement includes a flange filling the opening of the lower base and forming a hermetic seal therewith, for example, using a soldered or welded connection. A plurality of connectors extend through the flange for passing signals between the inside and the outside of the HDD enclosure, with each connector forming a hermetic seal with the flange. The metal cover is welded to the upper portion of the sidewalls, after the HDD components are placed into the metal housing, and hermetically seals a low-density gas, such as Helium, Hydrogen, Methane or sub-ambient pressure air, in the metal housing.
In another example embodiment, a computer system includes the HDD enclosure discussed in the preceding paragraph. The system includes a central processor and a communications link coupled and adapted to pass signals between the processor and the HDD. The communications link is coupled to the feedthrough arrangement for communicating with the HDD. Power is also supplied to the HDD via the feedthrough arrangement.
These and various other aspects and features of novelty that characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity to the claims annexed hereto and form a part hereof. However, for a better understanding of the invention, its characteristics, and the applications obtained by its use, reference should be made to the drawings which form a further part hereof, and to accompanying descriptive matter, in which there are illustrated and described specific examples of approaches in accordance with the invention.
Referring now to the drawings in which like reference numbers represent corresponding parts throughout:
In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration the specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized as structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a hermetic sealing approach involves forming a circuit enclosure by welding a metal cover to a cold-forged or die-cast metal base, the cover forming a substantial upper portion of the enclosure. A feedthrough is soldered and/or welded into a small opening in the base and forms a substantially hermetic seal therewith. The feedthrough passes a variety of communication signals and power between circuits sealed in the enclosure and exterior circuits. With this approach, electronic components such as hard disk drives (HDDs) and others are hermetically sealed while maintaining a relatively low-cost approach.
In one implementation, a low-density gas is sealed inside the enclosure, with the enclosure substantially preventing the gas from leaking out and moisture from entering the enclosure. As discussed above, most materials are permeable to some extent. In this instance, however, the base, cover, feedthrough and associated welded and/or soldered connections impede the diffusion of the gas and moisture such that the enclosure remains substantially free of moisture and the majority of the gas remains inside the enclosure for many years.
In another example embodiment of the present invention, an HDD having read and write heads suspended above a disk is sealed in a hermetic enclosure as discussed above. The hermetic enclosure is substantially free of moisture and includes a gas having a density that is substantially less than air at standard pressure. With this approach, corrosion, turbulence and other issues common to HDDs in air (at standard pressure) can be reduced and/or eliminated, and the fly-height (height above a disk at which HDD heads float) can also be reduced. In this regard, the read and write heads can be formed substantially free of any protective coatings typically used to protect from head-disk collisions, with the disk having a relatively thin protective coating.
In one implementation, the HDD heads are coated with a protective coating for inhibiting damage during manufacturing, with the coating being subsequently removed by bringing the heads in contact with the disk. For instance, the heads can be brought into contact with the spinning disk by reducing the spindle speed of the disk, reducing pressure in the environment in which the HDD resides and/or actively controlling the fly-height using an actuator.
In one particular implementation, a plurality of fastener arrangements 150, 152, 154 and 156 are coupled to the housing 120 and adapted for coupling the HDD components to the housing. In one instance, the fastener arrangements include closed-end (blind) screw holes that do not extend through the housing 120 and facilitate the mounting of the HDD components to the housing. These blind screw holes are optionally within the housing 120 (i.e., without the raised portions of the fastener arrangements 150, 152, 154 and 156 extending above the housing). With this approach, the HDD components are secured to the housing 120 without necessarily penetrating the housing and, correspondingly, without introducing potential gas or moisture leakage.
The housing 120 and sheet cover 110 are manufactured using a variety of materials meeting cost, reliability and other needs specific to the particular implementation in which the enclosure 100 is to be applied. For example, one or both of the housing 120 and sheet cover 110 can be manufactured using a substantially eutectic silicon/aluminum alloy (e.g., about 88% aluminum and 12% silicon). In one implementation, the housing 120 is die-cast from A413 or 413 Aluminum, with the sheet cover 110 being made from a material that is resistive to solidification cracking during welding. In this regard, laser-welding a 4047 or 6061 Aluminum sheet cover 110 to an A413 housing 120 results in a relatively crack-free weld.
In another implementation, the housing 120 is cold-forged from an aluminum alloy having relatively low copper and magnesium content (e.g., less than about 1%). For instance, 6061 or 6063 Aluminum can be used for the housing, with the sheet cover 110 being selected from a material that solidifies after the housing 120 and is resistant to cracking during solidification. For example, a material such as 4047 can be used for the sheet cover 110 to hermetically seal the upper portion of the housing 120 when laser welded thereto.
The enclosure 100 seals the HDD components and one or more types of gasses in the interior 102. The type of gas sealed in the enclosure 100 is selected to achieve performance or other characteristics, relative to the HDD components, such as low power consumption, high spin speed and low temperature operation. For instance, a low-density gas such as Helium, Hydrogen, Methane or sub-ambient pressure air can be used to reduce actuator disturbance caused by turbulence, relative to air at standard pressure. In one instance, a pressure of about one-half atmosphere or less is drawn in the enclosure 100 with air sealed therein.
In another implementation, the enclosure 100 is manufactured in a Helium-containing environment such that, when the enclosure is sealed, gasses from the Helium-containing environment are sealed in the interior 102. For instance, an enclosed environment flooded with Helium and including laser welding equipment (e.g., a Nd:YAG pulsed laser) can be used to weld the sheet cover 110 to the housing 120. With this approach, HDD performance characteristics that benefit from such an environment are realized. For example, since Helium is seven times less dense than air, the form drag on spinning disk drives is seven times less for HDDs in Helium, relative to the form drag for HDDs in air. This relative reduction in form drag also reduces the power required to spin the HDD motor, which is useful for reducing power consumption in devices employing the HDD. Alternately, the spin speed of the HDD motor can be increased while maintaining similar power consumption to that realized in an air environment, which is useful for shortening latency times, relative to latency times experienced with HDDs at lower spin speeds.
In another implementation, a low-density gas having less form drag than air is sealed in the interior 102 to reduce turbulence. Correspondingly, nonrepeatable runout (NRRO) and track mis-registration (TMR) that occur due to turbulence are also reduced, relative to that experienced with HDDs operating in air. HDD heads are thus operated with relatively minimal turbulence buffeting (e.g., less than about two nanometers).
In still another implementation, gas having a relatively high thermal conductivity is sealed in the interior 102 for conducting heat away from circuitry in the enclosure 100. For example, using Helium in the interior 102 instead of air relatively increases the thermal conductivity of the environment in which the HDD components reside; the Helium more effectively conducts heat away from the HDD components and correspondingly reduces the operating temperature thereof. Alternately, power or other heat-generating operational characteristics of the HDD components are increased in the Helium environment without necessarily increasing the overall temperature of the interior 102, relative to temperatures experienced using air.
In another example embodiment, the enclosure 100 is adapted for operation at a variety of external pressures. For instance, enclosures are exposed to a variety of pressures in airplane flight applications as the airplane traverses a plurality of altitudes. In addition, temperature variation at different altitudes can also contribute to pressure differences. In this regard, the enclosure 100 is sufficiently sealed such that changes in external pressure do not substantially influence pressure in the interior 102. With this approach, compensation for pressure-related HDD performance changes such as changes in fly-height and others need not be made. (Note: spin speed is regulated and fixed with a controller circuit.) In another example embodiment, the enclosure 100 includes a temperature sensor circuit 140 used to compensate for changes in the operation of the HDD components that are due to temperature. Temperature-related operational characteristics such as those discussed in the background above relative to density are addressed using temperature sensed by the temperature sensor circuit 140. For instance, when the enclosure 100 is exposed to a wide range of temperatures, the operation of the HDD components sealed within is correspondingly adjusted. In one implementation, a temperature change that affects pressure and therefore fly-height is detected and used to adjust fly-height with for example, an actuator thus maintaining a desired fly height.
In another example embodiment of the present invention, the enclosure 100 is formed having a selected amount of moisture therein for a tribological application, i.e., where the moisture is used in connection with lubrication or other aspects of the HDD operation. In this example, a desiccant or other approach is used to maintain a moisture level in the enclosure 100 at a desirable level, that is, sufficient for the tribological application but not causing substantial corrosion to components in the enclosure.
In one implementation, the housing 120 includes A413 Aluminum and the flange 350 includes electroless nickel plated 304 stainless steel (e.g., stamped from a sheet). Glass beads separate each steel pin in the array 310 where it extends through the flange 350. For instance, referring to pin 31 1, glass and/or ceramic beads 313 are placed around the pin 311 and between the pin and the flange 350 as shown in both
Once installed, the seal between the feedthrough 300 and the housing 120 is optionally leak-checked, for example, using a mass spectrometer. Referring again to
In a more particular implementation, one or more of the array 310 of pins, feedthrough flange 350 and housing 120 are plated. In one example, about 100–200 micro inches of electroless nickel are plated onto one or more of the pin array 310, feedthrough flange 350 and housing 120. With this approach, a substantially oxide-free surface can be achieved on these plated components, which is useful for soldering and other purposes, such as reducing leaks due to porosity in the components.
In some applications involving subsequent laser welding processes, it has been found desirable to inhibit and/or remove plating from portions of the housing 120 that are to be laser-welded. In one instance, portions of the housing 120 are masked, prior to plating. The mask inhibits plating from areas to be welded and thereby inhibits nickel contamination at the weld area. For example, masking the upper surface of the housing 120 to which the sheet cover 110 is to be welded prevents nickel contamination in the housing where the weld is to take place.
One example masking approach involves the use of an e-coat (electron coating process) as a mask. The housing 120 is e-coated with portions of the e-coating being machined or otherwise removed in locations where the housing is to be plated. The housing 120 is then plated, with the remaining e-coating acting as a mask.
In another instance, plating is removed from portions of the housing 120 where laser welding is to take place. For example, nickel plating on the housing 120 can be removed at an upper portion thereof using a milling process to provide a surface that is suitable for welding to the sheet cover 110.

The second edition (2007) adds new exercises, subject material, comments, and corrections throughout. Contentwise, after a brief and important introductory chapter (which should not be skipped by any reader!) the book first focuses on the properties and methods of solutions of the one-dimensional linear PDEs of hyperbolic and parabolic types. Then after two separate chapters, one on the trio of Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin conditions and the other on the Fourier series, the author embarks upon the discussion of elliptic PDEs via the methods of harmonic analysis and Green's functions. Subsequently there is a brief introduction to the numerical techniques for finding approximate solutions to the three types of PDEs, mostly centered on the finite differences methods.Read more ›
People have complained Strauss may not have explained some proofs in as much detail as he could have, people complained that he didnt give enough examples, I think this is more of a problem with the readers than the writers. If you need someone to hold your hand through every step and detail, I think you should reconsider why you are studying what you study.-
I am an undergraduate at NYU, one of the best research institutes for PDE's. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, it gives an amazing description of what PDE's are, how to solve them, and how they are used in science. One thing I REALLY enjoyed about this book was it did not do what many other books do: first dive into seperation of variables and focused only on that. Instead Strauss shows how to solve first and second order equations without boundary conditions, giving a very elegant prose doing so!
However, I think much of the problem that people are having with this book is that it's not a "one-size fits all." (Which I don't think any book can be!) If you are a Scienctist or Engineer and just want to learn PDE's to solve problems in science.. find another book, because this book is not the book for you.
That being said, if you are Mathematics student or interested in a more deep study of PDEs this is really a good book for you. You definitely should have taken Calc. 1-3, Linear Alegbra, ODE, and I recommend one semester of Analysis (for function spaces) before tackling this book, that is what I had, and I loved this course.
PDE is a difficult subject/course and Strauss does an amazing job at explaining it, if someone like me can get PDEs so well from this course, than I seriously believe that complaints about this book is due to fault in the readers and not the writer.
(Continue reading only if you have to use this book for a class)
If you are unfortunate enough to be forced to read this book, here is some advice:
It is explicitly stated in the preface that this book is intended
for undergraduates at the junior/senior level. I believe that in order to learn anything meaningful from Strauss, it requires that you have already had the following courses: calculus, multivariate calc (vector calc), linear algebra, analysis, and ordinary differential eqns. (Complex analysis, is not necessary, but does illuminate specific areas. Fourier analysis, is not necessary. Since half the books tries to establish main theorems of Fourier analysis--may I add, not at a rigorous level.Read more ›

I'm trying to validate some input, but I'm getting reverse results (or maybe I have completely missed the use of the
preg_match function?)
This is my code:
$check_firstname = "@#";
if(preg_match('/[^A-Za-z0-9_]/', $check_firstname)) echo "valid"; else echo "invalid";
I would have thought that this regex in
preg_match would not only allow alphanumeric characters, but this input gives an output of
valid! If the input (in this case,
check_firstname) is NOT alphanumeric, why is
preg_match finding a match? I've already checked the documentation but I don't understand what's happening.
My real requirement is to allow the dash character (-) along with alphanumeric characters in the user input, but I don't see how to get anywhere when my basic test seems not to be working.
Thank you for your responses! I get the problem with the caret now. However I forgot mention that apart from dashes, I need to allow spaces as well.

Freshman orientation
Hogs' Portis, Kingsley get more time together
Arkansas' Bobby Portis (10) reacts to a foul against Missouri in the second half Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2014 at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE - Usually when Arkansas forward Bobby Portis has gone to the bench to get a break this season, he's been replaced by Moses Kingsley. When Portis has gone back in, Kingsley has come out.
The two 6-10 freshmen rarely have been in the game at the same time, but that changed last Saturday at LSU when Portis and Kingsley got their most extensive playing time together in the Razorbacks' 88-74 loss to the Tigers.
Arkansas Coach Mike Anderson said he plans to continue playing Portis and Kingsley together tonight against Alabama even with the return of guard Michael Qualls and Alandise Harris from a one game suspension.
Wednesday's Ticket
Tonight's game
Arkansas vs. Alabama
WHEN 7:05 p.m.
WHERE Bud Walton Arena, Fayetteville
RECORDS Arkansas 13-8, 2-6 SEC; Alabama 9-12, 3-5
SERIES Arkansas leads 28-27
RADIO Razorback Sports Network
TELEVISION SEC TV on KATV, Channel 7, in Little Rock, KHOG/KHBS, Channels 40/29, in Fayetteville and Fort Smith and KAIT, Channel 8, in Jonesboro.
Portis and Kingsley shared the court for a combined 8:46 at LSU, including a 6:29 span in the second half when Arkansas had an 18-4 run to cut the Tigers' lead to 74-68.
"I think that was one of the more positive things that took place, seeing those guys out there," Anderson said. "I thought they looked good together.
"I think we can see they feed off each other. They continue to really grasp playing at this level against some big bodies."
Portis had 15 points, 5 rebounds, a career-high 5 steals and 2 blocked shots in 30 minutes going against LSU's front line of 6-9 junior Johnny O'Bryant, 6-9 freshman Jarell Martin and 6-8 freshman Jordan Mickey. Kingsley had 3 points, 4 rebounds and 3 blocked shots in a career-high 19 minutes.
"They both help us out a lot with their length, and they protect the rim," Arkansas senior guard Mardracus Wade said. "They're both energy guys. They come out with the mind-set they want to get stops. That's what we need to win.
"I like seeing those guys both out there. I think they can contribute a lot."
O'Bryant, Mickey and Martin combined for 60 points and 25 rebounds against Arkansas, but Portis and Kingsley were able to make plays against them at times.
Portis hit jump shots for Arkansas' first two baskets after averaging 5.7 points in the Razorbacks' first three SEC road games at Texas A&M, Georgia and Tennessee. Portis also had a second-half dunk at LSU.
"I didn't think Bobby was intimidated at all," LSU Coach Johnny Jones said. "He's really good around the basket. He can certainly step away from it. He challenged us at the rim as well. He can really run the floor."
Jones said he believes Portis and Kingsley can be a strong SEC tandem.
"I think they'll really be great together," Jones said. "Mike has done a tremendous job with those guys helping them grow, and as they continue to gain experience they'll continue to get better."
Portis said he thought he did "pretty well" against the Tigers' physical front line. He finished 6 of 13 from the field.
"There were some plays I should have dunked the ball instead of trying to lay it up, but that just comes with experience," he said.
"Bobby played well," said Arkansas senior guard Kikko Haydar, who scored a career-high 15 points at LSU."He had some rough times, but he had about five big guys coming at him.
"Bobby's going to be fine. Bobby will learn. Bobby's going to be the great player that everyone expects him to be."
Portis and Kingsley are close friends and were AAU teammates for the Arkansas Wings' national championship team in the summer of 2012 before both signed with the Razorbacks last spring. They have been eager to be in games at the same time this season.
"Coach is saying we brought toughness and rebounding to the team," Portis said. "For these last 10 games, I think we'll play even more together."
Portis, from Little Rock Hall, is the Razorbacks' first McDonald's All-American in 10 years. Kingsley, a native of Nigeria who moved to Mississippi when he was a high school sophomore and played at Huntington (W.Va.) Prep last season, was a top-50 player according to most recruiting services.
"I got a chance to see a lot of those guys when they were in high school and really was impressed with them," Alabama Coach Anthony Grant said. "I think they've really acclimated themselves well to the team."
Kingsley is averaging 4.7 points and 3.6 rebounds while averaging 11.6 minutes per game. He also leads the team with 35 blocked shots in 20 games.
Portis, the only Razorback to start all 21 games, is averaging 12.3 points and 6.5 rebounds in 26.5 minutes. In SEC games he is averaging 11.4 points and 7.0 rebounds. In Portis' past three SEC games he's averaging 16.3 points, including 18 against Auburn and 16 against Missouri.
"I think Bobby is going to be a terrific player," Missouri Coach Frank Haith said. "He's got great length and size, and obviously he's got a really good skill set.
"Just like all freshmen, the more court time he gets, the better he's going to be. But I think he's going to be one of the better low-post players in our league eventually."
Haydar said that as a perimeter player, he liked what he saw inside from Portis and Kingsley against LSU.
"It definitely adds much needed size, and they have chemistry together," Haydar said. "They're used to playing together."
Now the former Wings teammates need to get used to playing together more for the Razorbacks.

I am not very experienced with javascript and got stuck doing the following. I have placed some image rollovers on one of my pages..where when a user rolls over some text links..and image appropriate to that text is showen...when the mouse moves away from the links then a blank image is displayed as a place holder. this is all simple...here is where i am stuck. The place holder has a specific size...but the rest of the images that are displayed when the text is rolled over have different sizes, some are vertical some are hortizontal. i do not want to have to resize every image so that it properly fits the place holder...add the white borders and so on...so that the image is dispalyed properly.
Is there a way to have the size be changed for each image...so that the size doesnt get inherited from the place holder, but so that the script applies the size associated with each individual image.
place holder is 20 x 20
image 1 is 100 x 200
image 2 is 200 x 100
the place holder is loaded...when the mouse moves over the first link...image 1 replaces the place holder...but instead of taking on the size of 20x20 it has to be displayed at its own size of 100 x 200...
how can i do this?
thank you for all of your help

Over time I realized there were a few fundamental reasons I liked this series more than a lot of other comedy shows around, especially Seth MacFarlane's.
#1: The family is nice to each other, despite how kooky they all are. They are supportive, and clearly accept one other implicitly. That to me is a breath of fresh air in today's comedic landscape. A year or two ago I gave up on Family Guy (after the episode where Quagmire insinuated he would have sex with his daughter once she turned 18) because I was just fatigued by the constant graphic violence and generally crappy treatment of one character to another. American Dad has sadly followed suit after staying pretty palatable for a long time - have you watched an episode of that lately? Count how often one character yells at one another, or says something really hurtful, it's like every 10 seconds. It's just tiresome and a shame, really, because the characters are original and interesting; I just don't see why they have to assault our sense of decency over and over again to make us laugh. Bob's Burger's doesn't do that, it's more like Futurama, where the jokes come from situations and goofy character choices/opinions.
#2: Bob is the straight man, unlike the crazy ones like Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin.Read more ›
Bob is the anti-Homer/Peter. He's a hard-working man doing what he can to support his eclectic family. his wife Linda, while a very loving mom and wife, is at times clueless. The kids tend to be predictable, but little Louise with her rabbit-ears hat is a stand-out! And the other characters are hilarious. What really reeled me in was the dinner theatre episode; did anybody else laugh to the point of tears when Officer Julia flying tackled the robber?!?
I don't watch TV because I work long hours with little time off, but I am anxiously awaiting the next season! Just when I thought "Allan Gregory" ruined adult animation, "Bob's Burgers" renewed my faith!
This show really is a standout among the other shows in Fox's Sunday night animation line up. The animation isn't pristine, but that really adds to the charm of the show. What really stands out here are the wonderful character's voices. I'm so glad that Fox has picked it up for a second season. Hopefully it will find a following and will stick around for awhile.

Is naproxen good for sever toothache?
- Posted:

- naproxen
Answers (1)
30 Dec 2009
Yes, it should help with the pain. Naproxen is a very good anti-inflammatory and usually with a toothache there is pain and inflammation associated with it. You may still want to contact your dentist, because if there is an infection, the Naproxen won't help with this, but it should help subside the pain.

Rumor: World's largest carrier China Mobile begins producing advertising collateral for iPhone 5c, 5sLong-rumored Apple carrier partner China Mobile has begun readying advertising materials for 3G variants of Apple's iPhone 5s and 5c, according to a new report out of the middle kingdom.
A poster advertising the upcoming availability of the iPhone 5s and 5c from China Mobile has been spotted on the mainland, according to Chinese media conglomerate Sina's Sina Tech. If legitimate, the poster would represent the first official acknowledgement of the long-rumored deal that would send Apple's iPhone to the world's largest mobile carrier and its 740 million subscribers.
The poster touts the 3G variant of the newly released handsets, suggesting that the carrier may be angling to open sales of the devices sooner rather than later. While the iPhone has gained approval from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to operate on China Mobile's 4G TD-LTE network, the Chinese government has yet to issue 4G operating licenses to carriers and there is no word on when those licenses may be handed down.
As a result, China Mobile must either wait for the government to approve its 4G operations and risk losing further revenue-inflating iPhone sales to rivals China Unicom and China Telecom or begin offering the iPhone only on the company's 3G TD-SCDMA network. The report speculates that China Mobile will choose the latter course, enabling the iPhone's 4G TD-LTE capabilities with a software update after the proper operating licenses are granted.
The flagship iPhone 5s, featuring Apple's updated A7 processor, new Touch ID biometric security, and redesigned camera — along with the mid-range iPhone 5c with its new, colorful polycarbonate shell — have amassed record-breaking sales numbers in their first weekend of availability. Last week's release was the first in which China was included as a launch country, and reservations for purchase of the new smartphones were quickly depleted across the country.

IT security threats are now more likely to occur at the application level than the switch/router level, argues Needham's Alex Henderson, and he thinks this puts Juniper's (JNPR) hardware at a disadvantage relative to solutions from Check Point (CHKP), F5 (FFIV), and others. Also, like Goldman, Henderson is worried about the impact of Alcatel-Lucent's (ALU) arrival in the core router market. He sees as F5 as the best way to play the broader trend towards application-level networking.
