Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
By KBB.com Editors
The 2008 Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUV is a far cry from the original model. Whereas the first M-Class featured body-on-frame construction, the newest ML employs a unit-body design. This creates a stiffer chassis, which helps eliminate rattles and vibration as well as quiets the interior. The design also allows for a more sophisticated suspension, yielding better handling and a more civilized ride. Although it can seat five, the ML is most comfortable with four passengers. It offers a modest cargo bay of 29.4 cubic feet, which is more space than an Infiniti FX35, but less than offered by the Acura MDX. The M-Class' diesel engine option is unique and Mercedes-Benz promises the engine will meet all 50 state's stringent emissions standards.
If you're seriously shopping in the upscale SUV category and are drawn to the Lexus RX 350 and/or the BMW X5, you may very well find your new home away from home behind the wheel of the 2008 Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
If, like so many SUV buyers today, you'll settle for no fewer than three rows of seats, you'll have to look somewhere else. Mercedes-Benz does, however, offer a third-row seat in its G-Class SUV.
The ML500 is replaced by the ML550, which features a larger, more powerful engine, AMG body styling and 19-inch AMG wheels. Nineteen-inch wheels are also made standard on the ML350 and ML320 CDI. A limited-edition ML350 Edition 10 celebrates the ten-year anniversary of the M-Class.
By having unibody construction instead of a ladder-frame platform the 2008 Mercedes-Benz M-Class transcends any comparison with its predecessor. The highway ride is as smooth as you'd expect from any...
... of the automaker's stately sedans, with the added benefit of being able to negotiate large rocks (or parking blocks) with exceptional composure. It's this silkiness that makes the SUV's confidence-inspiring cornering ability just that much more impressive. While in a price-is-no-object world we would prefer the V8-powered ML550, the torque-happy ML320 CDI is equally satisfying.
Safety First
A long list of safety equipment includes traction and stability control, multiple airbags, active headrests and Mercedes-Benz's Pre-Safe system that tightens seatbelts and closes windows when it senses an impending collision.
Air Suspension
An optional air suspension allows for an extra three inches of ground clearance, while an active damping system lets you choose between Auto, Comfort and Sport settings, to best suit the road ahead.
Some of the first interior details you may notice are the large, circular air vents dominating the dash and the padded rails at the bottom of the center console that are more of an off-road touch than we expected from the more street-friendly 2008 M-Class. What you'll be forced to notice before moving the car an inch, however, is the dainty transmission selector stalk on the steering column. It removes the shifter from the center console and its operation, though not conventional, is easy to get used to. The seats are as comfortable as you'd expect, and the bigger cabin delivers plenty of room for five adults.
The sleek 2008 Mercedes-Benz ML looks particularly menacing wearing the new ML550 trim. Body additions from AMG impart a sporty look, and the big 19-inch wheel and tire package is downright aggressive. Though larger in every way than the original ML, the current model retains a comfortable size that is as easy to manage in traffic as in confined parking situations.
The 2008 Mercedes-Benz ML350 features a 3.5-liter V6, seven-speed automatic transmission, permanent all-wheel drive, automatic climate control, AM/FM/CD stereo, cruise control, automatic headlamps, heated and auto-dimming exterior mirrors, multifunction steering wheel, outside temperature display, 19-inch wheels, power glass sunroof and a four-way adjustable steering column. Standard safety equipment includes an array of passive and active safety technologies, including front, front-side and front and second-row side-curtain airbags.
In addition to its 5.5-liter V8 engine, the ML550 includes wood trim, the AMG trim package and other features. Additional options for all ML models are, for the most part, grouped into packages, but include an active-damping air suspension, DVD navigation, keyless entry and start, power liftgate, active bi-xenon headlights, Parktronic park assist, heated steering wheel and rear seats, rear-seat entertainment system and a harman/kardon premium six-disc audio system. For the lucky few, the ML63 AMG offers the ultimate in ML performance and luxury.
With an impressive V6 good for 268 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, opting for the lower-priced, higher-mileage ML350 won't leave you feeling short-changed in the power department. For those who want the towing capability of a V8 with the fuel mileage of a frugal four-cylinder, the ML320 CDI diesel is an excellent choice. Die-hard speed freaks will no doubt drool over the ML63 AMG's 503 horsepower, but the price tag near $90,000 may render this hot-rod SUV little more than a pipe dream.

"Bought this as a certified pre-owned in 2015 and have owned it for a year. Very comfortable and easy to drive. Looks great. Gets pretty good gas mileage. There are just three things I really don't like: (1) Running boards make it awkward to get in and out. You have to reach your foot over them or step on them, but they are too narrow to step onto comfortably. (2) This model/year still has an awkward button-only audio/communication/navigation system. No touch screen. Quite complicated to set destinations, enter/save phone numbers etc. (3) The design of the manual is terrible. The information is all there, but it is very hard to figure out what applies to your model vehicle."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 52,300overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Sporty, comfortable (slightly used only $40K)"
Cons: "Delayed shift changes, plastic trim (MB-Tex)"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I traded this BlueTec for a 2001 ML350 and have not regretted this choice one bit. One reason is that mine is an off-lease car just under 30K miles and only 2 yrs old when I purchased it. There has only been one issue, a bum fuel pump which was replaced under warranty and yes, just recently one of the tire pressure monitors went bad, also replaced under warranty. So the only expense so far new tires. The tires which were on the car still had enough tread but I was hydroplaning like crazy on one long-distance trip. So for long-distance driving this car is just perfect. I have two complaints (minor) that is the annoying delay when, for instance, throwing the gears from R to D or D to R. The, somewhat fraction of a second delay is too long for this German driver. I actually prefer stick shift cars, but that was not available here in the US on this model. My other complaint (minor) is that plastic upholstering. Again, otherwise I love this car (truck) also because I saved approx. $20,000 by buying a used one from a dealer, and therefore still had all the warranty, for a warranty for another year. Hurrah."

Sentencing juvenile offenders to life in prison is the most severe criminal penalty available, yet we know little about the factors that produce jurisdictional differences in the use of such sanctions. Political explanations emphasize conservative values and the strength of more conservative political parties. Threat accounts suggest that this sentence will be more likely in jurisdictions with larger minority populations. After controlling for many explanations using count models, the results show that larger numbers of juvenile life sentences are handed out in more politically conservative states with a stronger Republican Party. Findings also show that racial politics is a factor in juvenile life sentences. Those jurisdictions that have the most blacks and have judicial elections sentence the most juveniles to life terms. By highlighting the explanatory power of public ideologies, these findings support political explanations for the harshest criminal punishment directed towards juveniles.

In a special case the proper employee record will not be highlighted when lunch or break with a barcode. That is when another employee has selected themselves already. To recreate:

* Select employee A by double clicking on them
 * While still on the selected employee screen put employee B on/off break of lunch with a barcode scan
 * When returned to the active employee list employee B will be on the correct activity but employee A will be the highlighted one (and probably didn't scroll correctly if off the screen)

Qihoo Q4 Earnings Preview: Diversification Into Hardware Will Be Key In 2015

Qihoo: Near-Term Pain For Long-Term Gains
Neil Flynn • 15 Comments

Feb. 25, 2015, 2:57 PM
- A slew of Chinese Web/mobile firms are seeing heavy selling pressure on a day the Nasdaq is nearly flat. Search/security/browser/app store provider Qihoo (QIHU -3.9%) is among the decliners. As are game developer NetEase (NTES -5.8%), game publisher China Mobile Games (CMGE -3.7%), and online real estate plays SouFun (SFUN -3.7%), E-House (EJ -5%), and Leju (LEJU -3.3%).
- YY is also off today, as is 500.com, which disclosed sports lottery license suspensions from provincial authorities.
- Qihoo was hammered last week following a Jefferies downgrade. NetEase is a day removed from announcing it's setting up a U.S. HQ in Silicon Valley to build "a strong pipeline of mobile games for Western audiences from the ground up."
Feb. 19, 2015, 2:58 PM
- Today's notable tech gainers include fiber equipment provider Zhone (ZHNE +10.6%), IP licensing firm VirnetX (VHC +7%), healthcare software provider Allscripts (MDRX +4.8%), app development software provider Pegasystems (PEGA +6%), software outsourcing firm EPAM (EPAM +5.6%), security software/service provider Imperva (IMPV +5.3%), and cloud HR software provider Paylocity (PCTY +4.5%).
- Notable decliners include Chinese search/app store/security app provider Qihoo (QIHU -5.2%), Web hosting/cloud infrastructure provider Rackspace (RAX -3.9%), LED equipment maker Veeco (VECO -4.9%), and analog/mixed-signal chipmaker MagnaChip (MX -5%). The Nasdaq is up 0.4%.
- VirnetX is adding to the Wednesday gains seen after Apple patent review petitions were denied, and Qihoo is adding to the losses seen following a Jefferies downgrade.
- Rackspace and Veeco are reversing the gains they saw yesterday after posting their Q4 reports (I, II), and then some. MagnaChip is now down 58% since posting its Q1-Q3 results a week ago.
- Previously covered: SolarCity, Facebook, Castlight, Applied Materials, DragonWave, Nimble Storage, AVG, Ascent Solar, Netlist
Feb. 18, 2015, 11:26 AM
- Citing online gaming weakness, Jefferies has downgraded Qihoo (QIHU -6.8%) to Hold, and cut its target to $67 (still well above current levels).
- The Chinese gaming market has been intensely competitive for many years - Tencent remains its 800-lb. gorilla - and has also been contending over the last couple of years with a shift towards mobile gaming. Nonetheless, Qihoo's Internet value-added service revenue (mostly gaming-related) rose 157.7% Y/Y in Q3 to $172.8M, thanks in large part to mobile growth.
- Though it hasn't yet set an earnings date, Qihoo's Q4 report is expected to arrive in the coming weeks.
Feb. 12, 2015, 1:21 PM
- Qihoo (QIHU -2.3%) is selling off on an up day for equities after search/app store archrival Baidu slightly missed Q4 revenue estimates and offered soft Q1 guidance.
- Baidu blamed its guidance on "the late timing of Chinese New Year this year and mobile's growing traffic contribution, which monetizes at a rate lower than that of PC."
- Qihoo, which is trying hard to narrow Baidu's big mobile search lead and rapidly grow mobile ad sales along the way, is expected to post its Q4 results later this month.
Jan. 2, 2015, 4:00 PM
- Though Baidu has sold off and Alibaba is near breakeven, a slew of Chinese Internet and mobile names have delivered strong gains on a day the Nasdaq is down fractionally.
- Standouts include online retailers JD.com (JD +3.8%) and Vipshop (VIPS +5%), auto sites Bitauto (BITA +6%) and Autohome (ATHM +3.9%), beaten-down Qihoo (QIHU +4.2%) and NQ Mobile (NQ +8.4%), and newly-public social network/mobile chat platform Momo (MOMO +6.3%).
- Chinese online real estate plays SouFun, E-House, and Leju have delivered 10%+ gains after the city of Beijing hiked a credit ceiling for home purchase loans, and Perfect World has soared after receiving a going-private offer. Renren also had a very good day.
Dec. 16, 2014, 4:53 PM
- Qihoo (NYSE:QIHU) will invest $409.1M to obtain a 45% stake in a mobile phone JV with fast-growing Chinese Android OEM Coolpad. The JV will make phones under Coolpad's well-known Dazen brand, and primarily sell them online.
- As part of the deal, Qihoo will become "the default provider of key mobile services," for Coolpad's entire phone lineup. Qihoo's search engine, app store, and mobile security software are among the covered products.
- Coolpad, which faces off against the likes of Lenovo, Xiaomi, Huawei, and Samsung in China's hotly-competitive Android market, forecast in April its phone shipments would rise 50% this year to 60M units, with a third of the sales coming from online orders. Xiaomi has also seen considerable success selling online.
- The deal could help Qihoo narrow the gap between its mobile and PC search shares; the company is aiming to roughly triple its Chinese mobile search share to 30% within two years. It also stands to bolster the position of Qihoo's app store, which faces stiff competition from Baidu and Tencent.
- Shares sold off to new 52-week lows today. Nomura defended Qihoo amid the rout.
Dec. 8, 2014, 2:51 PM
- Though Shanghai was up 2.8% overnight following positive trade surplus data, Chinese Internet stocks are off sharply in U.S. trading amid a broader equity selloff. The Nasdaq is down 0.9%.
- Major decliners: WUBA -11.9%. QIHU -6.9%. MOBI -6.8%. YY -5.9%. WBAI -7.7%. CCIH -9.3%. VNET -8.9%. JMEI -8.9%. ATHM -8.5%. DANG -6.5%. SOHU -4.6%. SFUN -4.3%. EJ -4.4%. CMCM -6.9%. CMGE -8.3%.
- Valuations for the group are generally much lower today than they were in spring.
Dec. 1, 2014, 10:38 AM
- Chinese Internet and telecom names are among the biggest tech decliners as the Nasdaq registers a 0.9% drop. A soft November PMI print isn't helping.
- Giants Alibaba (BABA -4.3%) and Baidu (BIDU -2.8%) are among the casualties. As is Qunar (QUNR -5.8%), which reports after the bell.
- Other Internet decliners: BITA -12%. QIHU -4.4%. CTRP -4.3%. SFUN -7.2%. LEJU -7.5%. RENN -6.3%. SINA -3.8%. WB -3%. YY -3.9%. VIPS -3.8%. SOHU -3.5%. MOBI -4.3%. CMGE -8.6%.
- Telecom decliners: CHL -3.6%. CHU -3.9%. CHA -4%.
- ETFs: KWEB, CQQQ, QQQC
Nov. 25, 2014, 12:45 PM
Nov. 25, 2014, 11:25 AM
- After barely budging AH yesterday in response to its Q3 beat and solid Q4 sales guidance, Qihoo (NYSE:QIHU) is now up sharply.
- SA author WestEnd511 is pleased with the 65% Y/Y growth in Qihoo's Mobile Safe MAUs, declaring it demonstrates "QIHU's dominance in China's mobile security space, despite rising competition from CMCM and other sub-scale solution providers." The author does admit declining gross margins and soaring marketing spend remain concerns - the latter is chalked up to app pre-install deals with mobile OEMs.
- ONeil Trader notes Qihoo's net margin, while down 890 bps Y/Y, rose 200 bps Q/Q, as top-line growth outweighed margin pressure and aggressive spending. "I believe that Qihoo is a bargain at the current price, given the significant growth opportunities and the fact that it is trading at just 17x its [estimated] 2015 EPS."
- Update (2:00PM): Credit Suisse has upgraded Qihoo to Outperform.
Nov. 25, 2014, 9:15 AM
Nov. 24, 2014, 5:40 PM
- Qihoo (NYSE:QIHU) expects Q4 revenue of $410M-$415M, above a $405.1M consensus.
- While top-line performance remains strong, gross margin remains under pressure: It fell to 77.3% in Q3 from 79.1% in Q2 and 86.2% a year ago. Last quarter, Qihoo suggested search monetization costs and product mix changes were pressuring margins.
- Also: Opex rose 110% Y/Y (above rev. growth of 100%) to $200.1M, due to a 226% increase in sales/marketing spend to $91.5M.
- Total monthly active users of Qihoo's PC products amounted to 495M in September, down 1M Q/Q and up 30M Y/Y. Users of Qihoo's Mobile Safe app rose by 32M Q/Q and 265M Y/Y to 673M. Daily unique visitors to Qihoo's browser start page averaged 129M vs. 128M in Q2 and 126M a year ago.
- The company says its 360 Mobile Assistant Android app store (competes against Baidu and Tencent) continues to lead the Chinese market, and that it has received "very encouraging responses" to display and search ad platforms launched at the end of Q3.
- QIHU nearly unchanged AH. Q3 results, PR.
Nov. 24, 2014, 5:01 PM
- QIHOO 360 Technology (NYSE:QIHU): Q3 EPS of $0.63 beats by $0.02.
- Revenue of $376.4M (+100.3% Y/Y) beats by $11.05M.
- Shares +3.3% AH.
Nov. 23, 2014, 5:35 PM
Nov. 19, 2014, 12:37 PM
- Google (GOOG +0.1%) plans to finally launch the Google Play app store in China, The Information reports. By doing so, Google hopes to grow its mobile clout in a market believed to account for roughly half of Android's 1B+ global users, but in which Google apps/services are often non-existent on Android devices.
- Google famously shut down Google.cn in 2010 rather than continue censoring its search results, but still maintains R&D and ad sales offices in China. In addition, many Chinese developers have published apps on Play's international app stores to reel in non-Chinese users. Apple has had a Chinese App Store in place for years.
- When Play arrives in China, it will face competition from Qihoo (QIHU -2.9%) and Baidu/91 Wireless' well-established Android app stores, as well as from Tencent. Qihoo shares have slumped following The Information's report.
Oct. 17, 2014, 6:39 PM
- Qihoo (NYSE:QIHU) is shooting for a 10% Chinese mobile search share by the end of 2014, and a 30% share within 2 years, says president Qi Xiangdong.
- While Qihoo has been estimated to have a 30%+ PC search share, its mobile search share is much smaller. Baidu is believed to have over half the market, and Alibaba-owned UCWeb has also grown into a major player.
- In August, Qihoo said mobile had grown to account for a "low-teen to mid-teen" % of its search traffic from just 5% at the beginning of the year, and was aiming for 25% by year's end.
Company Description
Qihoo 360 Technology Co., Ltd. engages in the provision of Internet and mobile security products.

- Artists Art Of Fighters, Mello Bondz, Endymion, Murda
- Release Date 2013-12-09
- Labels Traxtorm Records
- Catalog TRAX0116
The evolution of an artist goes through complicated paths.
Art of Fighters strongest point has always been the strenght of their tracks on the dancefloor and the will for experimentation. After a period looking into different styles of Hardcore this time they return with a three tracker EP that delivers nothing else but party music at the highest production level.
"Resurrection" is what AoF are known for: hands up melody, straight kickdrums, party atmosphere.
"Fuck you!" is the follow up of that genre they are pursuing with tracks like Restart the party: heavy kickdrums and strong drops, the bomb combination for the hardcore scene of tomorrow.
"Rocket" is their newest collaboration with Endymion. This time they went into a different kind of experimentation: with the help of Murda's lyrics and voice they created a new hybrid, more like a song than a track, something fresh and not yet seen in the scene.

At the conclusion of The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy tumble into a pit leading straight to the Underworld. The other five demigods have to put aside their grief and follow Percy's instructions to find the mortal side of the Doors of Death. If they can fight their way through the Gaea's forces, and Percy and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades, then the Seven will be able to seal the Doors both sides and prevent the giants from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the Doors are sealed, how will Percy and Annabeth be able to escape?
They have no choice. If the demigods don't succeed, Gaea's armies will never die. They have no time. In about a month, the Romans will march on Camp Half-Blood. The stakes are higher than ever in this adventure that dives into the depths of Tartarus.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Some Oklahoma lawmakers with state prison facilities in their districts are asking Gov. Mary Fallin to include corrections funding in any special legislative session she calls.
Nine state senators and 12 members of the House have signed a petition calling for corrections funding to be addressed if a special session is called by the governor.
Fallin is considering calling a special session to consider restoring laws overturned by the state Supreme Court that were designed to cut businesses' legal liability costs.
But Rep. Gus Blackwell of Laverne says state prisons are about 98 percent full and only about 62 percent of state correctional officer positions are filled.
Blackwell says state officials need to do more to maintain security in the state's crowded prisons and to protect the public.

The ECHL would have an 'open mind' if Las Vegas NHL team wanted Wranglers name
The search for a general manager has been over for a while, the successful candidate in place. However, the Las Vegas NHL franchise is still looking to name its team. That search is still ongoing.
With its first season in the league set for 2017-18, the Las Vegas franchise has run into some trade mark issues with potential names, much to the dismay of owner Bill Foley.
One possibility could be the 'Wranglers' — the name of the former Las Vegas ECHL franchise, which officially folded in January of 2015.
However, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the ECHL still owns the rights to the name 'Wranglers.' The report also stated that the team does have a temporary logo — the NHL shield with 'Las Vegas' written underneath. Again. Only temporary.
"I have not been approached by either Mr. Foley or by the NHL," ECHL commissioner Brian McKenna told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
"We own all the names of all the teams that have played or are playing (in the ECHL). Frankly, I would be surprised to hear from them now. But if they called to say they were interested in reviving the Wranglers name in Las Vegas, we would have an open mind about it. We always liked the name and the logo and the way they built up the brand in the community."
Meanwhile, the people of Las Vegas have had their say on team names.
According to a bracket posted by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the name 'Outlaws' emerged as the favorite among the people after the polls, which the newspaper admits are completely unscientific.

Report: Graham James granted extended day parole
Graham James, the disgraced junior hockey coach who pleaded guilty in June of 2015 to the latest charge of sexual assault against a former player, has had his day parole extended an additional two months, according to a report from The Canadian Press.
Documents from the Parole Board of Canada show James's day parole, which was granted in January, has been extended for two months while the board schedules a hearing to consider his request for more freedom.
"You would like to be granted full parole," states the decision dated July 8. "You have rented an apartment where you plan on living on your own. There are no financial concerns. Family members have been deemed to be positive supports.
"Your (case management team) supports your release on full parole."
Former NHLer Sheldon Kennedy, who was a victim of sexual abuse from James, his coach in Swift Current at the time, has spoken out against the decision from the parole board.
"There has to be commitment and a proven commitment to change and currently there is no commitment to change by the Parole Board of Canada," he said. "To me what it all comes down to is a lack of understanding of the true impact of this crime by the parole board."
Kennedy predicts James will leave the country where he can operate under the radar. He has previously moved to Spain and Mexico. Kennedy also believes it's just a matter of time before James reoffends.
"Oh absolutely, there's no question," Kennedy said.
In February of 2013, James had his original two-year sentence increased to five years for sexually assaulting two of his former players.
James is serving seven years, following the latest charge from last year that resulted in a two-year sentence, according to Global News.
Get to know Nolan Patrick, early favorite to go first in 2017 NHL Draft
The NHL's Central Scouting staff put out a full list of 2017 NHL Draft "futures" on Saturday, supporting the notion that it's never too early to hype up the next wave of prospects.
At the moment, the top pick speculation revolves around Nolan Patrick of the Brandon Wheat Kings, including in NHL.com's breakdown of the biggest names among those futures.
In vague terms, his size and willingness to go to high-danger areas distinguishes Patrick. Scoring 102 points in 72 games in the WHL with the Wheat Kings doesn't hurt his cause, either.
It's only natural to seek comparables, of course, and there are plenty streaming out already.
Craig Button compares Nolan to Jonathan Toews in this introduction for TSN:
Nolan's style of play is similar to that of fellow Manitoban Jonathan Toews. He's skilled, smart and capable of playing and making a difference in all situations of the game. Like Toews, he does it without much flash, but brings significant determination and reliability every time he steps on the ice.
Meanwhile, his coach compared his style to that of Brayden Schenn, as Buzzing the Net noted in February.
There's hockey in his blood, too, as his father Steve Patrick was an NHL forward.
Maybe that explains the notable lack of fawning from his dad in this Sportsnet article.
"Nolan was a funny little player at eight. I certainly didn't look at him and think he's gonna be a special player," Steve Patrick said in May. "But he always saw the ice well and even when he was little he could pass the puck. He was a smaller kid and he sometimes played up a year, so I thought he had to be little sneakier to hold on to the puck.
"Plus, he had an older sister who could throw him in a snowbank, so he had to figure a way to keep the puck from her."
Now that is a scouting report.
Speaking of scouting reports, NHL.com and Sportsnet both discuss other players who will jockey for top draft position with Patrick.
Of course, plenty can change in the season, so Patrick must dodge hurdles as if they were siblings readying to "throw him in a snowbank."

There is a report about Islanders eyeing a new arena in Nassau, too
The New York Islanders' new owners claim that Brooklyn's Barclays Center is "our home," yet there are all kinds of rumors going around about where they may settle.
Things really heated up with talks of moving next to the New York Mets with a new arena in Queens, but apparently that's not all.
New York Newsday reports that the Islanders have met "several times" with the New York Racing Association to build a new arena in Belmont. This would mean that the Islanders would (wait for it) bring the team back to the Nassau area.
It was emphasized that such talks were in early stages and that the ownership group is "weighing multiple options, including remaining in Brooklyn."
When it came to the rumors about Queens, more than a few people believed that it may have come down to leveraging Barclays for a better situation in Brooklyn. The Isles' ownership group hasn't discussed these rumors, so it's difficult to gauge how seriously the team would consider moving again.
In the grand scheme of things, it feels far too early to get too excited or bent out of shape about these murmurs. Even if something significant happens – and there have been plenty of gripes about Barclays – it sounds like it would take some time for plans to formulate.

We describe a texture analysis system in which informative discrimination rules are learned from a multiresolution representation of time textured input. The system incorporates unsupervised and supervised learning via statistical machine learning and rule-based neural networks, respectively. The textured input is represented in the frequency-orientation space via a log-Gabor pyramidal decomposition. In the unsupervised learning stage a statistical clustering scheme is used for the quantization of the feature-vector attributes. A supervised stage follows in which labeling of the textured map is achieved using a rule-based network. Simulation results for the texture classification task are given. An application of the system to real-world problems is demonstrated

No Ties GPU Specification Release by AMD
In contrary to recent reports, AMD staff has now announced that they will be providing ATI graphics processor specifications to driver developers with no ties attached.
AMD employees Matthew Tippett and John Bridgman announced today at the X Developer Summit in Great Britain that the GPU specification will be released without a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
According to the two, the 2D specification will be released in the near future, with 3D to follow suit shortly. Internal details of ATI's R300 GPUs are to follow. Last week ATI owners AMD announced that publication of the specifications would be made subject to signing a non-disclosure agreement.

his first crossover hit "Bennie and the Jets" (a song later covered by Biz Markie and sampled by both Frank Ocean and Mary J. Blige), landed on the American R&B charts, Elton became the second White artist ever invited to appear on Soul Train.
While I, too, was a fan of Elton John's "electric music and walls of sound," I had mixed feelings when he appeared Soul Train playing "Bennie and the Jets"—feeling like he didn't belong on the program because of his whiteness. Obviously Don Cornelius didn't agree. In the decades since, other White artists appeared on the show, including David Bowie, Duran Duran, the Pet Shop Boys, A-ha and Hall & Oates.
With a singer like Robin Thicke, whose music was influenced by a wide range of mature Black artists like Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye, the catch-22 of his so-called blue-eyed soul stance has been that his music sometimes sounds "more soulful" than the real Black artists currently on the charts beside him do.
"I'd rather listen to Robin Thicke's music than Chris Brown's," says former record exec Gary Harris. Currently working on his music industry memoir Inside Player, Harris signed both D'Angelo and Color Me Badd. "Contrary to what his critics might think, what Robin Thicke does is not easy. While his detractors might think he is a poseur, it is obvious that he believes in the music. What he does with soul music is genuine. Forget about being blue-eyed. To me, Robin Thicke is a real soul singer."

SEOUL, South Korea - A South Korean man abducted by North Korea has escaped and returned home after 41 years.
Choi Sung-yung of the Abductees' Family Union said Friday that 68-year-old Jeon Wook-pyo escaped last month and returned to South Korea in early September. Choi said Jeon was one of 25 crewmen on board two boats captured by North Korea in the Yellow Sea in 1972.
Unification Ministry spokesman Kim Hyung-suk confirmed to reporters that the man who escaped was in South Korea, but provided no other details.
Choi said Jeon was the only one of the crewmen to have successfully escaped.
South Korea estimates that more than 500 South Koreans have been kidnapped and detained by North Korea since the 1950-1953 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.

Open the feel-good floodgates. Hydrotherapy is a term that's used to refer to a range of water treatments including submersed sports massage, temperature-controlled baths, spa hot tubs, enemas and healing methods that involve drinking quantities of water. Different practitioners use the term to mean different things, but the common element in them all is the wet stuff: fresh, clear, life-giving water.
Every treatment centre is a little bit different, but you'll find that most of the hydrotherapy treatments available are based on the Kneipp system. This involves using herbal and mineral baths at different temperatures to relax, stimulate and aid the body's natural healing processes. You can dabble, paddle and adapt the treatment to your needs or go full-on and plunge into the traditional Kneipp system, which involves a special diet, large quantities of water to drink, an exercise plan and an element of spiritual meditation.
We all know we're supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, but according to hydrotherapy, there are more benefits to be gained from a good glug of H2O than a glowing complexion. Drinking large quantities of water is thought to act as a laxative and a diuretic, helping you to bail out your body's waste products and toxins more quickly. According to the Kneipp system, a lot of water can also increase the amount you sweat and produce phlegm, which may not be glamorous, but both are vital to your body's waste-disposal system.
If you've ever had a hot bath after a hard day's work, you'll know that it can relieve tension – both in your mind and your muscles. It can also boost your blood and lymphatic circulation and generally act as a sedative, which is great if you're feeling stressed and fidgety, or if you're finding it hard to get your forty winks. A cold bath, on the other hand, can make your body temperature and your heart rate drop within just a few minutes, which is great for numbing inflamed joints, reducing blood flow to an area and calming swelling.
Hydrotherapy uses a pick'n'mix of baths and pools at different temperatures to soak your aches and pains away. For example there's the shallow sitz bath, which only covers you from the waist down or there are full-body tanks which you can stand in up to your shoulder. In these new-fangled times, you might even be lucky enough to use specialised massage jet streams and steam baths too.
There are oceans of different uses for hydrotherapy, so each session will be tailored to your physical needs – you might have a serious physical injury or you might just want to relax and forget your inbox for an hour. A session can involve anything from a 15-minute footbath to two hours of targeted water treatment, submersing different areas of your body.
If you are referred for hydrotherapy on the NHS, this is most likely to be a supervised exercise session in a pool or series of pools. Your doctor might recommend this to help rehabilitate you after a stroke, spinal damage or muscular injury. It's like physiotherapy, but because it takes place in a pool the water supports your bodyweight making it easier on poorly joints and weakened muscles until you're in good enough shape to work out on dry land.
If you book a hydrotherapy session at a spa, make sure you check what's included in the price because sometimes this just means access to their hydrotherapy pools rather than a consultation and personal treatment.
Hydrotherapy is used to treat a mind-boggling array of different physical and emotional problems, including: inflammation, constipation, cramps, haemorrhoids, menstrual problems, varicose veins, insomnia, headaches, high blood pressure, back pain, rheumatism, stress, joint or bone damage, muscular aches, strokes and spinal damage.
The Kneipp system was invented by Father Sebastian Kneipp (1821-97). He developed what later became known as the 'cold water cure' and then hydrotherapy after treating his own rib injuries with bandages soaked in cold water.

The Arizona State Sun Devils and new head coach Todd Graham have many areas to address before the 2012 season kicks off, so the battles will ensue this spring.
There are really no solid starters anywhere, as many players have moved on from the program. It also doesn't hurt that there is a new head coach in town, so things are definitely going to start on a clean slate.
The Sun Devils are just getting things underway, but here are some battles that are already heating up.

|Related ethnic groups
|Burmese diaspora
Pakistan Burmese (Urdu: پاکستانی برمی ) are a Muslim community based in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. They are Rohingya Muslims (Urdu: روہنگیا مسلمان) from Rakhine State in Burma, who have fled their homeland of Arakan State under the Persecution of Muslims citizens by the Burmese junta and Buddhist majority.[1] According to varied Pakistani government sources and the Arakan Historical Society, there are some 200,000 Rohingya refugees residing in Pakistan.[2][3][4] All of them have made a perilous journey across Bangladesh and India and have settled in Karachi. The Rohingya Muslim in Karachi have now obtained Pakistani citizenship. A report on human trafficking stated that Burmese people make up fourteen percent of Karachi's undocumented immigrants.[5] In the recent years, scores of Burmese women seeking employment have entered the country. Different resources cite the number of these women to be in the thousands.[6]
Rohingyas and Bengalis in Karachi[edit]
According to the community leaders and social scientists there are over 1.6 million Bengalis and up to 400,000 Rohingyas living in Karachi.[7] There are numerous Burmese housing colonies that can be found throughout Karachi. Traditionally, cultural similarities of the Rohingya people to those of Bengalis has enabled easier communication and interaction of the Burmese in Karachi with the Bengali community. Their native Rohingya language furthermore has dialect familiarities especially with the Bangladeshi natives hailing from Chittagong, who speak a somewhat indistinct Chittagonian language. As a result of the great inter-ethnic engagement, the Burmese people in Pakistan have a special reputation for being found in areas only that traditionally also contain a Bengali population. With more stringent control and difficulty in traversing borders the Burmese have now started travelling east to countries closer to Burma such as Thailand, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Malaysia. The number of Burmese in Pakistan has been on the decline in recent years.

How does ransomware take over the screen? (self.AskNetsec)
submitted 3 years ago by IDIOT_ON_THE_WEB
I'm aware of the CreateDesktop and SwitchDesktop win32 api functions. However, I don't know if malware like Reveton use the full screen by continually maximizing an Internet Explorer process or if they just have different images for different screen resolutions and add a window for input based on a position calculated using that discovered resolution.

The FTC continues to have an axe to grind with Google (GOOG): four sources tell Bloomberg the agency's staff has recommended a suit be filed against Google for its misuse of standards-essential mobile patents, and that a majority of the FTC's commissioners are "inclined to sue." The story comes after October reports claiming Google is thinking of settling with the FTC over the matter, and that 4 of 5 commissioners are support an antitrust suit related to Google's misuse of its search position.

PITTSBURGH Ś A member of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard has sued Target Corp., saying he was wrongly fired from one of the chainĺs Pittsburgh-area stores for violating its ôno-call, no-showö policy while he was on a two-week training assignment in Virginia.
Andrew Lanier claims in the federal lawsuit filed Wednesday in Pittsburgh that he told his supervisors about the training duty in October 2011 only to be told when he returned that he was fired for not calling off each and every day he was gone.
Lanier said in an interview that the two-week training was to prepare him for active deployment to Iraq, an assignment that was scrubbed the same day he was fired from Target, leaving him with no job.
ôI was pretty upset,ö Lanier said. ôIt forced me to lose my job and my car because I didnĺt have a job to go back to.ö
Lanier and his attorneys contend that his firing violates the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, which is meant to safeguard the civilian jobs of military personnel who are called away for mandatory duties.
ôA promise has been made to protect the jobs of those who have chosen to honorably serve in this countryĺs military reserves and this lawsuit is intended to ensure that such promise is kept,ö attorney Timothy OĺBrien said in a statement.
Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder said the Minneapolis-based retail chain is ôcommitted to following all federal, state and local lawsö and ôguarantees certain benefits to military service members that go above-and-beyond what is required by the law.ö
That said, Target was just contacted about Lanierĺs claims recently. ôWhile the store has no record of his request for time off, we are exploring his concerns,ö Snyder said, adding that ôunder no circumstances are team members participating in military service required to call in daily.ö
Lanier, 21, who now lives in Toronto, Ohio, is seeking at least $75,000 in damages, including back pay and reinstatement, said that wasnĺt his experience.
Lanier was hired by target in April 2011 and worked at its store in North Fayette Township, a Pittsburgh suburb. His mandatory training was at Fort Pickett, Va. Lanier contends he was fired the day after it ended and told he had violated the ôno call, no-showö policy ôby failing to notify Target on each day of his military leave that he would be absent from work on that day due to such leave.ö
Lanier contends he had previously told his team leader and at least two store managers that he was required to report for duty in Virginia as well as notifying Target through its electronic time-off request system, the lawsuit said. Finally, Lanier said he gave a copy of his active duty pre-deployment training to store managers.
Michael Kraemer, another of Lanierĺs attorneys, called Targetĺs actions ôan extraordinarily blatant violation of federal and state lawö given how many managers were allegedly informed of Lanierĺs leave.
Lanier said heĺs applied for about 20 jobs since but has been called for just one interview and remains unemployed. Lanier plans to re-enlist for active duty soon.
ôItĺs actually just an awesome job to be a soldier,ö Lanier said.

A fully populated matrix controller allows a designer considerably more design flexibility to govern multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processes than the classic diagonal controller structure. A methodology is presented to extend the classic diagonal quantitative feedback theory (QFT) controller design for MIMO plants with model uncertainty to a fully populated matrix controller design. Three cases are considered: (i) reference tracking; (ii) external disturbance rejection at the plant input; and (iii) external disturbance rejection at the plant output. The role played by the non-diagonal controller elements is analysed in order to state a fully populated matrix controller design methodology for QFT. Three coupling matrices and a quality function of the non-diagonal elements are defined and then used to quantify the amount of loop interaction and to design the non-diagonal controllers respectively. This yields a criterion that allows the proposal of a sequential design methodology for the fully populated matrix controller, in the QFT robust control frame. As a consequence the diagonal elements of the proposed non-diagonal method need less bandwidth than the diagonal elements of currently existing diagonal methods. The technique is verified by using the designed controller to control a SCARA robot manipulator.
