Well this is an odd problem. When my laptop turns the display off, instead of the black screen, it is now displaying a white screen. I find this rather odd. Also, when the computer goes to sleep the screen is white, instead of black or just off.
What's going on?
EDIT: I am on a Y550P
Same exact thing for me. Happened only today. Immediate fix: disconnect the power supply and pull the battery.
Fixed mine...for the moment. Also had 2 "updates" auto installed (stopped that stuff) today and then the white screen. Dont have a clue if they are related. Waiting for next occurance...then to Lenovo Support.
I could not find another post about this...
Anyway I have a new y550p. I noticed that every now and then, maybe 6 times in the last month, after I do a normal shut down the backlight stays on. The only thing I can think to do at that point is to pull the battery, which works. I suspected that it had something to do with the movie mode that you can turn on and off at the touch of a built in button. When movie mode is on, the screen lights up more and the subwoofer kicks on. However I've had the back light stay on with movie mode on and off when shutting down.
Any ideas what I can try to fix this?
I suppose I should clarify what I mean by backlight.
the system is completely off, but the screen is white, bright enough to light up a dark room.
I'm on Win7 64bit
I've owned it for a little over a month.
Hi there. I'm having THE EXACT same problem as you.
My Y550P is 9 days old (it got replaced because the other couldn't be repaired after 3 attempts at repairs over a month of time).
This problem you've just described is 100% report of my problem. I've had this twice in 2 days.
After using it, blah blah, the screen goes FULLY WHITE and is very bright when it's in off mode. I mean the settings will "Turn Off Display" after "15mins" or the time you specify right? It's supposed to go off (which it did before). But no, it goes white. And when I try to switch off display (Fn + F2 keys) nothing happens, screen stays on (although the screen indicates the Display Off icon, and I see this cause the screen will go back to normal when u hit the keys or move the mouse like normal).
Then, like yours, when I shut down the PC, the screen stays Brilliant WHITE completely (all keyboard lights, everything, are all off, the PC has shut down, fan stopped etc). Only if I cut the power (AC adapter) or battery will the screen go dark and off.
How to fix this please or must I make my 200th call to the Service Center.
Thank Goodness! I was beginning to fear that i was the only one having this problem. To the other guy, yes after powered down, pulling the battery will turn the white screen off, and putting the battery back in does not bring it back on.
Yup, when you cut off either the AC or battery power supply, it will go off like it's supposed to when you shut down and when it auto-shuts-display or when you hit (Fn+F2).
Is there any resolution to this problem? This is a February batch of Y550P (some people have the 2009 batch, some the Jan 2010 or BlueScreen batch).
Thank you.

Acidified Seawater: Does It Always Depress Calcification?
Source: CCR
Findlay, H.S., Wood, H.L., Kendall, M.A., Spicer, J.I., Twitchett, R.J. and Widdicombe, S. 2011. Comparing the impact of high CO2 on calcium carbonate structures in different marine organisms. Marine Biology Research 7: 565-575.
In introducing their study, Findlay et al. (2011) write that "calcifying marine organisms such as molluscs and foraminifera, crustaceans, echinoderms, corals and coccolithophores are predicted to be most vulnerable to decreasing oceanic pH (ocean acidification)." They also, however, say there is a possibility for "increased or maintained calcification under high carbon dioxide conditions," and they go on to experimentally demonstrate the reality of this phenomenon in different types of calcifying marine animals. More specifically, working with five different calcifying organisms – two gastropods (the limpet Patella vulgata and the periwinkle Littorina littorea), a bivalve mussel (Mytilus edulis), one crustacean (the cirripede Semibalanus balanoides) and one echinoderm (the brittlestar Amphiura filiformis) – Findlay et al. say they "measured either the calcium (Ca how to use cialis daily order fluoxetine hcl online your acne improves. you find should not be. the intrinsic negative that the increase activity in sensitive, that 2+) concentration in the calcified structures or shell morphological parameters as a proxy for a net change in calcium carbonate in live individuals exposed to lowered pH," where the lower pH of the seawater employed was created by the bubbling of CO2into header tanks. So what did they find?
"Contrary to popular predictions," as the six scientists remark, they found that "the deposition of calcium carbonate can be maintained or even increased in acidified seawater." In fact, they say that four of the five species they studied actually exhibited increased levels of calcium in low pH conditions. In the case of Littorina littorea, for example, they indicate that all morphological shell parameters – width, height, thickness, area, perimeter, aperture area and aperture perimeter – "increased in low pH treatments compared to the control," while noting that "there was ~67% more growth in shell height, ~30% more growth in shell width and ~40% more growth in shell thickness under low pH conditions compared to the control." And in another part of their study, they observed there was a large amount of dissolution 60 mg capsules 5 weeks prozac 3 day hcl 20 mg tablet prozac 90s band. dosage 5 mg adderall vs prozac for migraines order fluoxetine online 60 mg how to taking place on isolated shells and arms of the creatures they studied; but they found that "the presence of a live animal within its calcium carbonate structure offset this dissolution."
Findlay et al. say their findings demonstrate that "there is a great degree of biological control on calcification with complex links to other physiological processes," and that "increasing evidence in the literature agrees with the results of this [i.e., their] study," noting that: "McDonald et al. (2009) showed calcification in another barnacle species (Amphibalaus amphitrite) to continue, and possibly even increase, under low pH conditions (pH 7.4); Arnold et al. (2009) demonstrated larval lobsters (Homarus gammarus) were able to lay down calcium carbonate structure in pH conditions 0.3 units below the control levels; Checkley et al. (2009) showed young fish have enhanced aragonite otolith growth when grown under elevated CO buy prozac online from north drug store. low prices guaranteed. 2; Maier et al. (2009) showed that, although there was a decrease in calcification in cold-water corals, overall they showed a positive net calcification at aragonite saturation states below 1, and longer-term experiments suggest that these corals may actually maintain or even increase calcification over longer timescales at low pH (Schubert et al., 2010)."
So does ocean acidification always depress calcification rates in calcifying marine organisms? Not by a long shot!

The Lounge > Kitsune Discussion
Fox Magic RPG
(1/4) > >>
In May, I'm hoping to finally have an RPG published through my company. Specifically, my first game will be Fox Magic, where you play one of five types of kitsune, and can either serve the Jewel Maiden, or Inari (or, really, choose to serve neither).
The game, so far, is about 30 pages in length for the rules, and is pretty quick to get a grasp of. Players have a lot of control over the game, the GM mostly acts as a moderator to ensure the game's fair, and to give the PCs a challenge from time to time.
Artwork is being done by Max Blackrabbit, gNaW, and Kaffeine Kitty, as well as some bonus art from a friend of mine in the Phillipines. I'm really looking forward to having this game premier at CanGames, and then be sold openly in PDF format and in printed format. :)
I'm actually considering having my own MUCK converted to host/run Fox Magic, I haven't decided yet.
Hmm... That sounds interesting. ^^
Anymore info on it? Like is it text based, 3d, etc??
What kinda rp is it??
Well, the RPG itself is tabletop pen-and-paper-and-dice RPG sort of stuff. If I do run it online as well, it would be a MUCK (text-based).
I'd acualy would love to see it when compleat. It seems interesting. Is it like Shifters of the East?
--- Quote ---I'd acualy would love to see it when compleat. It seems interesting. Is it like Shifters of the East?
--- End quote ---
Actually, no. The idea behind it is you play a fox who has 'awakened', becoming a kitsune. You start off with one (or if the GM allows it, two) tails, and from one to two (or two to four) fox powers. As you go out and do things, you slowly gain tails and prestige.
It isn't a given you can shape shift, that's one of the things you can pick up, but it isn't a 'mandatory' power. I've put in some mention of other creatures the foxes can go up against as well, and I'm only now getting artwork in for the book.
But I'll let you all know when I actually have it up and published. :)

The "Miracle on the Hudson" pilots are reuniting in the cockpit for the first time for a flight out of New York.
Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger and 1st Officer Jeffrey Skiles will pilot a flight on Thursday from LaGuardia Airport to Charlotte, N.C.
Charlotte also was the destination of the disabled plane they ditched in the Hudson River on Jan. 15. They saved the lives of all 155 people on board.
Thursday's flight will be Sullenberger's first as a US Airways captain since the incident. Skiles has been back flying with US Airways since April.
US Airways announced Monday that Sullenberger will be making regular flights and supervising other pilots as part of its safety management team.

1. Insert a CD-R or CD-RW disc into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Burn the iTunes M4P playlist to make an Audio CD. You cannot select the "MP3 CD" option since it requires the DRM protected iTunes M4P files be converted to MP3.
3. After the Audio CD is successfully burned, insert the disc into your CD-ROM drive again. Then you can use iTunes or Windows Media Player to import the music tracks on the burned disc as MP3 files.
2. Convert iTunes music m4p to mp3 for Windows DVD Maker using DRM Music Converter
Step 1. Download DRM Music Converter, install and launch it. ( Free Download )
Step 2. Add iTunes M4P files
You can import the iTunes M4P files in three ways:
a. Load files by clicking the "Add..." button.
b. Directly drag and drop files to the left main window.
c. Right click on the left main window, click "Add files".
Step 3. Select the output format
By clicking the "Convert to:" box, you can select the output format for the source M4P files. Here you can select MP3 as the output format.
Note: This iTunes M4P to MP3 Converter also allows you to customize the audio parameters for the output files if you are not satisfied with the default settings or cannot find the most appropriate output format for your specific mobile player. Just click the "Settings..." button to make the settings.
Step 4. Start to convert M4P to MP3

Crash.Net F1 News
Missing Concorde offer no deterrent to Marussia
6 December 2012
The Marussia F1 team insists that it will be on the grid in 2013 despite apparently having been omitted from the list of those being offered the chance to sign up to the latest Concorde Agreement.
When the entry list for next season's 20-race schedule was released at the weekend, it contained only eleven teams, confirming HRT's sad demise, but what it didn't reveal was that Marussia was the only one of the eleven not to have been offered the latest agreement, which governs the commercial terms on which the sport is run.
With HRT's exit and Caterham's last-gasp return to tenth in the constructors' championship – echoing the position it achieved in its first two seasons – Marussia finds itself somewhat in limbo as the only remaining 2010 newcomer needing the so-called 'Column 3' benefits established to bolster the start-up operations.
According to German website
, F1 ringmaster Bernie Ecclestone is considering doing away with 'Column 3', although this comes as some surprise to Marussia sporting director Graeme Lowdon.
"The last thing we were told was that the columns 1, 2 and 3 will still be there but, to be honest, as long as there is no agreement, who knows?" he said "It has no effect on us in terms of us being here [in 2013]. We will be here, no question."
Vitaly Petrov's pass on Charles Pic in the closing stages of the Brazilian Grand Prix could have cost Marussia around $10m in prize money as it demoted the Banbury-based team from tenth in the constructors' standings – the final position eligible for prize money. While achieving the position three years running has cemented Caterham's position in the sport, Marussia's future continues to be a precarious one, amid reports that it is carrying heavy debts.
Lowdon is particularly keen to establish the situation regarding the Concorde Agreement given that the terms under which his team entered F1 were not the ones it initially signed up for, having backed calls for a budget cap and the extra technical freedom that was supposed to come with it.
"If you look at the last three years, you have to remember that the championship we originally entered has never existed," he confirmed, "My view of things is that the three new teams should be treated with respect, because they have remained in the championship and have adjusted their business plans accordingly."
Ironically, the recently-completed 2012 campaign was Marussia's most competitive to date, having raised its game to compete with Caterham despite a rush to get its car ready for race one after failing the mandatory crash test.
"The crucial point is that we're still here," Lowdon emphasised, "We are on the way and, in the coming year, expect to have a competitive car. We have been learning lessons for three years, but now we are confident and looking ahead to Melbourne [next March]."
And the Concorde Agreement?
"I don't know, it's up to Bernie," he added, "It is strange that some teams have one while others don't. You would have to ask the owner of the commercial rights or the FIA."

|Fire Guts Eldridge Business
|News/Features - City Shorts
|Tuesday, 12 December 2000 18:00
A recent fire at Olson Engineering in Eldridge did substantial damage to the 27-year-old pins-and-bushings machining company. Two of the company's four buildings were gutted in a fire that took seven fire departments more than four hours to put out.
Investigators still haven't released a cause for the fire. Eldridge Fire Chief Scott Haycraft contended in statements to the media that a platform truck much like those in Davenport and Riverdale – which took 20 to 25 minutes to respond – would have prevented a lot of damage. However, the Eldridge City Council has choked on the $1 million price tag – $600,000 for the truck and $400,000 for an addition to the current fire station to house it.
The Social Security Administration is warning of a scam in which elderly African Americans receive flyers informing them that as part of the Slave Reparations Act, the U.S. government is giving money to blacks born before 1928. The flyer instructs the recipient to send his or her Social Security number and other personal information to the address listed to receive a $5,000 payment. There is no such thing as a Slave Reparations Act, and no legitimate group is collecting Social Security numbers. If you have received a mailing on the Slave Reparations Act, call the Inspector General at (800)269-0271 or look at (http://www.ssa.gov/oig/guidelin.htm) for information on how to report fraud. River Action has received a grant from the Kodak American Greenway Awards Program in Arlington, Virginia. The $2,000 grant will be used to help the RiverWay program develop riverfront trails along the Mississippi River in the Quad Cities. River Action is one of only 35 groups chosen nationwide to receive this award. It is administered by the Conservation Fund to provide grants of up to $2,500 for not-for-profit organizations and agencies to help develop new greenway projects. IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union helped this Thanksgiving with a check for $2,601.01 for Bob Vogelbaugh's annual Thanksgiving dinner. Donations were accepted at all eight of the IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union branches. Bob Vogelbaugh has been serving Thanksgiving dinner in the Quad Cities to thousands of people so they don't have to spend the holiday alone. The Family Museum of Arts and Science in Bettendorf will be sharing in a $1.8 million grant from the National Science Foundation to fund the development of four science-based traveling exhibits. The grant is being given to support a seven-museum collaboration known as TEAMS (Traveling Exhibits at Museums of Science), of which the Family Museum is a member. The Family Museum will be partnering with Discovery Center in Rockford, Illinois, to develop its exhibit, "The Science World of Sports." The Better Business Bureau warns that while it is the season for charitable giving, it is also the season for scams. When an unfamiliar organization asks you to make a donation, ask for the organization's full name and address. For large donations, you should ask for a copy of organization's annual report, list of board members, and latest financial statement before giving. Don't be pressured into donating, and always check out charitable organizations through your local branch of the Better Business Bureau. January 1 not only marks the start of the new year, it marks the date the state sales-tax rollback on gasoline in Illinois. The Illinois House failed to make a repeal of the gas sales tax permanent. By the way, Illinois has the sixth-highest gasoline tax in the nation. Governor George Ryan was the one who pretty much killed the bill, saying that a permanent repeal would cost the state $360 million it couldn't afford. With all the attention given to the Supreme Court's decision in the Florida presidential-election case, another important decision by the court has been overlooked. A 6-3 ruling on an Indianapolis case means that police cannot use random roadblocks to search for drug-law violations. The majority opinion, which was written by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, found that Indianapolis' use of drug-sniffing dogs to check all vehicles was an unreasonable and therefore unconstitutional search under the Fourth Amendment. The dissenting opinion was written by Chief Justice William Rehnquist, who said the random stops and searches by dogs were "only minimally intrusive upon the privacy of motorists. They should therefore be constitutional." He was joined in his dissention by Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. Law enforcement isn't doing well this year in the Supreme Court, with an earlier decision ruling police cannot stop and search someone based solely on an anonymous tip that the person was carrying a weapon. Also, the court ruled that border-patrol agents cannot search passengers' bags as part of a routine immigration search. Iowa Next is a state-sponsored, semi-glossy, teen-centered magazine designed to entice Iowa teenagers to stay in the state. Iowa Workforce Development contributed $100,000 in federal money to print the publication, which is being distributed in high schools throughout Iowa. About 120,000 copies have been given out so far, with the latest issue containing articles on ACT testing and preparing for interviews. There is a Web copy of the magazine available at (http://www.iowanext.com). The magazine is Governor Vilsack's latest idea to keep youth in Iowa. MetroLINK has received a Governor's Award for Workforce Development for its U-tran Vanpool Program, which was developed after MetroLINK was asked by the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) to apply for funding to expand the vanpool to include DHS clients. With the funding, MetroLINK bought five additional vans. The program is used by employees to travel to and from work in the bi-state area.

TV stand in da house!
Way back in November I started designing this project:
After all the building and finishing issues chronicled here I'm glad to report that it's finally completed.
First, here's the problem I was trying to address: a big TV on a too-small, press-board stand, purchased from Target. Note the DVD player, VCR, and TiVo stacked on the subwoofer in the corner on the left. The Wii console is in the lower corner of this shot; it was sitting on the floor next to the stand too.
- TV Stand Before
Here's the mess o' cords behind it.
I persuaded fellow editor Lucas Peters to help me carry the new stand in (he owed me for helping him unload a tablesaw in the middle of an Iowa February).
After a few hours of untangling and re-routing cables, the new stand was in place and ready to go.
And the rat's nest behind is now minimized and hidden from view, contained between two false backs. (Note that the silver VCR didn't make the cut. It's been retired to the office to start digitizing old VHS tapes. Getting rid of those analog cables helped quite a bit with cord management. HDMI and fiber optic is the way to go!) The subwoofer is tucked out of sight behind the stand.
I've got to be honest: This was a frustrating project and I'd reached a point where I was ready to say "If it goes inside and I don't like it, it's going to Goodwill." But now that it's in and loaded with gear, I'm able to focus on the whole, and not the tiny little things that aren't perfect. And I think it came out pretty well. I especially like the contrast of black and cherry. All the time invested applying (and reapplying…and reapplying) finish paid off. So sorry, Goodwill, this one stays here.

Intelligence Failure
Winners and losers in the knock-down fight over Charles Freeman's aborted appointment.
Discomfiting as it is to say so, President Barack Obama was right to cut Charles Freeman loose—but not for the reasons that Freeman's foes might think.
It's always discomfiting when nominees to high office are done in by mendacious pressure campaigns—and that's clearly what happened to Freeman, who was about to be named chairman of the National Intelligence Council, the interagency group that produces the official National Intelligence Estimates.
But in this case, while the campaigners are no doubt celebrating their victory now, they may find that in the long run they've committed a strategic blunder.
When news of Freeman's impending appointment leaked last month, two sets of opposition groups leapt into action. Pro-Israel lobbyists, bloggers, and legislators protested that Freeman was hostile to Israel and in the pay of the Saudis. Some human rights groups, especially those sympathetic to Tibetans, complained that he was an apologist for China's ruling dictators, even for their crackdown on dissidents at Tiananmen Square.
The position of NIC chairman does not require Senate confirmation, but several senators—Democrats and Republicans—expressed their deep misgivings, publicly and privately, and they were heard at the highest levels. On Tuesday, Adm. Dennis Blair, the director of national intelligence, defended Freeman at a Senate hearing. If President Obama had intended to put up a fight, he or one of his spokesmen would have backed up Blair's defense. But the White House stayed mum—and Freeman's doom was thus sealed.
Freeman's friends and former colleagues—many of whom had worked with him during his many years as a foreign service officer and a senior Pentagon official—decried the whole scummy process. During the struggle for his nomination, which was carried out almost entirely in the blogosphere, they mustered evidence showing that Freeman's critics were distorting his statements, taking them out of context, in some cases wildly so.
For the most part, his defenders were right. For instance, the critics claimed that Freeman once said that Chinese officials had acted with restraint at Tiananmen Square and that they should have plowed down the dissidents more quickly—when, in fact, he said that they were more restrained and slower to act than Mao Zedong would have been. He certainly did not condone the crackdown. And though his speeches on the Middle East have been more critical of Israel than of the Palestinians—here his critics had a point—his critiques have been more unbalanced than wrong; his main sin has been to hold Israel even partially at fault. (For more on the things he has and hasn't said, click here.)
But a debate on the merits is beside the point. Once Freeman became a lightning rod—once his impending job became about him and some of the things he's said since leaving government for the world of think tanks—President Obama had no choice but to abort the appointment. Otherwise, he would have faced not only a struggle over personnel but a never-ending series of struggles over policy.

Mortgage fraud down 40% this year
[caption id="attachment_127573" align="alignright" width="300"] Fraud-related loans by year, in billions - click to enlarge[/caption]
Santa Ana-based data firm CoreLogic estimated that the total value of U.S. mortgages tainted by fraud will drop 40% this year to $7.4 billion.
That compares $12 billion worth of fraudulent loans issued in 2010, the firm reported.
The decrease is due mainly to a decline in the overall number of home loans being issued.
CoreLogic reports that fraud levels remain unchanged for for more than a year, meaning that percentage of loans that are tainted has been flat. But based on lower projected loan originations, the overall value of tainted mortgages is down.
In addition, the report says:
- The value of tainted loans has dropped significantly from 2005-06 levels, when about $30 billion worth of tainted loans were issued annually.
- The value of this year's tainted loans will be about 75% below the 2005-06 levels.
- This sharp reduction was attributed to improved fraud controls on the part of lenders.
- Nonetheless, the types of frauds being perpetrated are changing. For example, property fraud --where the value of a property is misrepresented either in a flipping scheme or to help qualify for a loan -- increased 262% in 2010.
- But identity fraud -- where a fake or stolen identity is used to get a loan -- decreased 45%.
- The five riskiest areas of the country for fraud-related loans are Chicago; Washington, D.C.; Brooklyn, N.Y.; Atlanta; and Jamaica, N.Y.
The report noted that despite the drop on tainted loan values, fraud is still a significant problem.
According to the report:
"Despite the lower level of fraud risk in newer originations, potential fraud losses still represent a significant problem for the industry."

The Teamsters Union has reversed their earlier position and is now backing the Dairy Security Act as part of the new farm bill. National Milk Producers Federation helped come up with the plan and are still hoping it passes. Federation's Chris Galen says his group was able to alleviate concerns of the Teamsters and is hoping their support will help get the measure over the finish line.
Teamsters were assured that under the Dairy Security Act, delivery of milk will continue in full regardless of stabilization provisions. Galen says the key to getting the legislation passed is making sure the Senate's farm bill with the stabilization portion is included in the final conferenced measure.
Galen says another plus of the Dairy Security Act is it isn't a costly program to implement.

Baxter International Inc., a provider of healthcare solutions through its subsidiaries, recently purchased enough Green-e certified renewable energy certificates to cover the costs of electricity used at the company's Deerfield, Ill., corporate headquarters. The company purchased 15.5 million kWh of wind energy from Baltimore-based Constellation NewEnergy.
Baxter's headquarters campus covers 100 acres and includes 654,000 square feet of office space housing approximately 1,500 employees, the company says. The campus relies on electricity for 98% of its energy needs, which will be offset through the purchase of the renewable energy certificates. An additional 2% of its energy use at its headquarters comes from natural gas – to offset the emissions associated with the natural gas, Baxter has purchased credits on the Chicago Climate Exchange, which enables companies to trade their greenhouse gas emissions through a voluntary, legally binding emissions-trading market.
The company adds that a number of its facilities use alternative or renewable energy, including solar, biodiesel and biomass.
'As global corporations increasingly play a greater role in addressing sustainability issues, they are changing how they operate in fundamental ways,' says Robert L. Parkinson Jr., Baxter's chair and chief executive officer. 'Sustainability and profitability are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they are closely intertwined and reinforcing. The sooner we all recognize this, the better – for business and society.'

Condition: Used
Postage: £20 anywhere to the UK mainland, highlands/Ireland and outside the UK may vary please e-mail or call the shop on 01924 444 888 for quotes. Please note that returns are the customers responsibility and are at the customers cost.
Returns You are entitled to cancel your order and return the goods within 7 working days for a full refund, excluding delivery charges. Any goods returned should be in saleable condition. Any shortages or damage must be reported within 24 hours of delivery.
Brand: Quatro
Width: 53.4 cm
Volume: 68 Ltrs
Range of use: Wave/Freestyle
Hard Core Wave sailing has now shifted its gears and has gone for this powerful new design. What has been a rarity is now the new trend. The RHYTHM twin fin boards allow you to finish your turns all the way, resulting in a continuous motion from the bottom turn to the off the top, going right back down the line. The two fins put the rails in the water sooner and keep them in the water throughout the whole turn.
International magazine tests around the world have credited this line of twin fin boards as the best fitted line of boards for side shore conditions for medium to expert sailors. Most of the professional wave sailors in the world today to whom we make custom boards ride boards just like these. No compromises and full performance.
Regardless of whether your style is front or back foot influenced, you will definitely feel a whole new sensation, doing turns you've never done before, at a speed you never thought possible. The modern lengths, rockers and thickness flows work in perfect combination with the RHYTHM Twin Fins, fueling the fire for this new style of wave sailing. This new direction of sailing is being strongly influenced by a desire to surf and slide in the waves as a surfer does, going into the critical part of the wave with confidence and making the wave ride more fluid overall. The combination of uncompromising control and quickness allows the rider to really charge in any size waves, and gives the freedom to do new moves, which is what the Quatro Wave RYTHM Twin Fin boards are all about.
Only available in Premium PVC Construction as these boards are designed for the most extreme conditions.

Restructuring Costs Hit UAL
(UALAQ) reported a sharply wider third-quarter loss of $1.77 billion after recording hefty expenses related to its restructuring. However, the Chicago-based company, which has been operating under bankruptcy-court protection for nearly three years, said Monday that it would have turned a modest profit had it not been for those costs. Like other U.S. airlines, United reported improving revenue trends.United, the nation's second-largest carrier by passenger traffic, said its loss equated to $15.26 a share in the latest quarter. A year ago, the company lost $276 million, or $2.38 a share. Revenue rose 8.1% to $4.66 billion from $4.30 billion a year before. UAL shares, which the company will render worthless upon its planned exit from bankruptcy early next year, were unchanged at 50 cents. Noncash charges related to United's rejection of airplanes totaled $1.7 billion. United said the charges could be reduced when it departs from Chapter 11. Excluding the reorganization costs, United would have earned $68 million even though it paid 37% more for jet fuel in the latest quarter than it did in the third quarter of 2004. "United is a fundamentally better company today with sustainable improvements across the business and solid operational performance," said Glenn Tilton, United's CEO. "The results we are reporting make it clear that we have done well this quarter in overall cost control, especially given the significant reduction in capacity. There is more work to do -- and opportunity to be gained -- as United becomes even more vigorously competitive in generating revenue and reducing costs." Under bankruptcy protection, United has made its cost structure more competitive by forcing workers to accept large concessions and by canceling its pension plans and dumping its remaining pension obligations on the government's insurer. With U.S. carriers including United reducing domestic capacity -- that is, the number of passenger seats flown -- fares and unit revenue are rising. United said revenue per available seat mile, an industry measure of unit revenue also known as RASM, increased 11% from a year ago in its mainline operations, which exclude regional feeder flights. Meanwhile, yield, which measures average fares, rose 9%. United reduced overall capacity by 5% year over year, and passenger traffic fell 3%. Looking ahead, United expects its fourth-quarter mainline capacity to fall 3% from the same period a year ago. In an attempt to ease the pain caused by high fuel costs, United has entered into hedge contracts on heating oil that would cover about 9% of its expected fuel needs for the fourth quarter. The contracts limit heating oil prices to $1.32 a gallon, far less than the $1.90 the airline paid for jet fuel in the third quarter. There are no financial markets for jet fuel, so airlines sometimes use other refined petroleum products like heating oil to hedge their jet fuel prices. United's hedges, however, won't cover the additional refining cost for jet fuel if it exceeds that for heating oil.United Airlines' parent UAL

Homemade Fish Food!
If I put this in the wrong place please move it, I could not find a food related area...lol
I have been asked about my recipe..so here it is.......
I use only human grade items and amounts vary depending on how much you want to make, I make large amount and freeze it.
1-2 Fresh raw or cooked shrimp
3-6 fresh spinach leaves...depends if you use baby spinach or frozen, either will work
2-4 fresh garlic cloves
I use a garlic press and crush the garlic and blanch the spinach so it is warm and wilted and use a fork or side of a knife to smash these two together and make a green garlic paste and I chop the shrimp and smash the green garlic paste all together so you have a "green garlic shrimp paste". I place this in a zip lock bag and smash flat and freeze to make it easier to break off what I need to feed.
You can vary 2 items to what you have, you can use peas instead of spinach and fish instead of shrimp, but use only fresh garlic.
I feed this nearly every day and my fish love it and the garlic helps with any parasite too, I keep wild caught species too that tend to carry flukes, worms etc....and I rarely if ever have any issues and I feel it is from the garlic as well as QT'ing...lol..
Is It safe?
Have you tried it?
I'm not a cook, so I don't know what blanching a spinach is. But I'm definitely going to try this someday. I know my bettas love garlic, let's see how they like the others (and the chances of putting them with shrimp just died, lol). I... am probably not gonna use fish for a reason, lol. But very nice, I'm going to try this asap.
Very safe, I assure you!
Read the last sentence. It says she feeds it every day. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's safe. Just guessing but I think that's what it means.
Thanks oldfishlady.
accidently thanked kym. just saw remove thanks lol. carry on.
Sounds like a great recipe. I don't even cook for myself though, much less my fish. lol
Awesome!! We can start a cooking section for our fish :-)
I have to admit after the other post from Mean Harri I remembered having pre-cooked shrimp for hubby in the freezer; so I went defrost, cut it up and started feeding - Mind you I am vegetarian myself and know very lil about sushi, shrimp etc-
I used these larger ~1.5" Shrimp and cut them up (what I thought was small) and I used 4 (FOUR!) of them cause I have 3 tanks to feed right!? Wrong LOL wayyyy too much shrimp and next time I'll mix up a batch via food processor and just use ice cube tray's to freeze it!

If you have long straight hair, than you know firsthand how difficult it can be to find another style to become creative with the way that the hair is styled. Long straight hair is one of the most versatile haircuts and yet it can be simple to become stuck in a rut and style the hair the same way every single day.
Someone out there please loop this video of Mad Men's Christina Hendricks at the Golden Globe Awards, burn it on a DVD for me, and mail it to me. Five to 10 minutes ought to be enough. Thank you. (UPDATE: Mix in some slow-motion too. Thanksbye.)
This is Emmanuelle Chriqui at the premiere of You Don't Mess With The Zohan at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
She looks very tasty, don't you agree?

ATLANTA (AP) — Police say Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward had glassy, bloodshot eyes and failed field sobriety tests during a traffic stop in Atlanta that landed him a drunken driving charge.
The police report says a transit officer pulled Ward over around 2:30 a.m. Saturday after he failed to maintain his lane and hit a curb. The transit officer called a DeKalb County police officer who administered a series of field sobriety tests.
The former Super Bowl MVP and reigning "Dancing With the Stars" champ is set to appear Oct. 6 in court. He faces a misdemeanor driving under the influence charge, punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Atlanta lawyer Andrew Ree says the 35-year-old was not impaired by alcohol while driving and cooperated fully with police.

Article Date: 4/1/2008
If you're about to form a practice partnership as either the senior or junior doctor, you should negotiate for three main reasons:
► Income
► Control
► Equity
While most principals focus on equity, it's my opinion that income and control are actually more important factors. Here's why:
The selling price of a typical dispensing practice is generally 60% to 80% of the annual production. Therefore, a solo practice with $500,000 in annual collected revenue will typically appraise for $300,000 to $400,000 cash. In addition, the seller has to pay taxes on his proceeds after the sale.
Now, let's look at how that potential equity compares with annual income. If the practice nets the national average of 30% ($500,000 × 30% = $150,000), its equity should be worth between two years' earnings ($300,000) to a high of almost three years' earnings ($400,000).
When compared with large privately held businesses, which might sell for five- to 10 times the annual earnings, two to three is a pretty low multiple. That tells me that a well-run optometric practice is more valuable to the owner for the generated cash stream than the equity for which it can sell.
For that reason, I would advise most young O.D.'s about to enter a long-term deal as a junior partner to give up a little equity in exchange for slightly higher compensation. For example, let's say that a junior associate is negotiating a junior partnership and is pushing hard to buy 49% of the practice. The senior doctor, however, only wants to sell 39%. How much does it really matter to either side?
Here's one way to look at it. Assuming the practice has two O.D.'s producing $500,000 each and an appraised value of 70% of collected gross revenues, 39% of a $1,000,000 practice would be worth $273,000 cash pre tax ($1,000,000 × 39% ownership × 70% value = $273,000).
Using the same methodology, 49% of the same practice would be worth $343,000 ($1,000,000 × 49% ownership × 70% = $343,000). That's a difference of only $63,000 on a pre-tax basis in today's dollars. The thinking here is that the junior partner could easily make up that $63,000 differential by earning an extra $5,000 to $10,000 per year through the life of a 20- to 30-year partnership.
The reverse applies to the senior partner, but to a lesser degree. He should be willing to give up more equity to the junior partner in exchange for the junior partner taking a slightly lower annual compensation. This is particularly true if the senior partner is nearing retirement and operating on a shorter time frame than the junior partner.
These examples aren't intended to be cookie-cutter formulas for determining practice value or partnership percentages. They are designed to help buyers and sellers create better partnership agreements through a better understanding of the dynamics between practice equity and personal income.
But, what about 51% controlling interest? Isn't that all important? The answer is NO, if you structure your partnership agreement properly. Next month, I'll tell you why I think that bit of conventional wisdom is misguided. OM

Affaire to Remember – an amazing evening
Lee Greenwood sings for the crowd.
View the PDF
ANNA MARIA – It was truly an Affaire to Remember when country music star Lee Greenwood rocked the house with a selection of his songs at the Community Center's annual dinner auction Saturday night.
His performance was the highlight of the evening for the sell-out crowd of 350, and when his set concluded, he threw out a challenge – he would sing his most famous song, "God Bless the U.S.A.," for the highest bidder.
The crowd took up the challenge and after spirited bidding, Trudy and Stewart Moon and generous friends were the winning bidders with a $15,000 donation, which included dinner for eight with Greenwood and his wife. That helped boost the evening's total to $200,000.
"He is the most kind generous man," Trudy Moon, the event's chair, said of Greenwood. "It was a pleasure to get to know him, and when he sang 'God Bless the U.S.A.,' it was the most emotional statement of the evening.
"It was a magical evening – we were at capacity, we doubled the amount we brought in, Harry's meal was flawless. It was pulsating and it just kept going."
Moon said it was exciting to see the diversity of ages and the large number of locals in attendance at this year's event.
Executive Director Pierrette Kelly praised both Moon and Greenwood, noting, "At the end of the day, it comes down to having Trudy back as chair of the event and the kindness and generosity of Lee Greenwood. It was a wonderful night. Everything worked perfectly."
"It was an amazing evening," Assistant Director Scott Dell agreed. "I can't remember a more exciting evening with spectacular food and entertainment and wonderful generous people, especially Lee Greenwood, who donated all of his time for the event.
"It was one for the record books. We couldn't have done it without everybody's support – the staff, the donors, the volunteers and the people who attended."
Dell said he was particularly proud of his daughter, Katie Rose, who sang "Hallelujah," to bring attention to the cash call, which raises money for the scholarship fund, so no person is turned away from the Center's programs and services. Katie Rose got a standing ovation and the cash call raised $45,000.
The pick of the live auction was won by Rich Pierro, who chose the Wyland serigraph, "Dolphin Dance," valued at $5,000. Raffle winners were Kathy MacKenzie for the $5,000 diamond necklace donated by Pierro's Jewelers and Jayne Christense for the HDTV donated by Breiter Capital Management.

Bulldogs open state at Philomath
By Gerry Steele
Baker's "Road Warriors" opens play in the first round of the Class 4A boys basketball tournament Friday at Philomath.
The Bulldogs (15-8) enter the tournament as the Greater Oregon League champion. Baker has to travel for its opener despite being a league champion because only the Top 16 in the Oregon School Activities Association RPI rankings host their first game. Baker finished 17th in the rankings.
Philomath (16-5) finished second in the Oregon West Conference.
"I like our matchup," said Baker coach Joel Richardson.
Richardson said from what he had been able to find out about the Warriors two of their key players are 6-foot senior guard Derek Nash and 6-3 junior guard Ben DeSaulnier.
"They like to push tempo and like to shoot the 3's," Richardson said.
"They're a man defense team if they don't think you have any shooters. I guess we'll just have to show them what kind of shooters we have. We just have to go down there and do what we're capable of doing and we'll be OK."
The Baker coach said having to travel for their opener doesn't matter to the Bulldogs.
"Making the trip is fine," he said. "We want to go to Corvallis for the main tournament, so we're just going a week earlier."
The winner of Friday's game advances to Gill Coliseum on the Oregon State University campus for the tournament that begins March 5.
Friday's tipoff is tentatively set for 7 p.m.

Great Deeds of Great Men

Book Reviews
Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
This little book is planned to give intermediate pupils, through the story of the achievements of the world's greatest discoverers, explorers, and conquerors from the fifth century B.C. to the twentieth century A.D., an idea of how the world came to be known as it is to-day.
While each story is complete in itself, and may be used independently, if need be, to meet the requirements of a course of study, yet each is so linked to the others that the book as a whole is an elementary history of the world from the time of Darius to the present.
The courtesy of the Houghton Mifflin Company in permitting the use of the two stanzas from Margaret Sangster's poem, "Washington's Birthday," in the story of Washington, is gratefully acknowledged.
The authors also acknowledge their indebtedness to the well-known authorities on the life and times of the men selected as the subjects of these stories.

Missouri tax revenues still lagging behind budget
Friday, February 3, 2012
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri's revenues continue to lag behind what's needed to balance the budget.
Figures from January show that net state revenues grew 2 percent over the same month last year. For the first seven months of the 2012 fiscal year, which began last July, Missouri's general revenues were up 1.3 percent.
That's about half the 2.7 percent growth rate that the governor's budget office says is needed to meet the budget.
Missouri gets most of its general revenues from individual income and sales taxes. Both of those categories are up about two-and-a-half percent for the fiscal year. But corporate taxes are down nearly 11 percent.

- Abstract
- Effective team functioning requires the existence of a shared or team mental model among members of a team. However, the best method for measuring team mental models is unclear. Methods reported vary in terms of how mental model content is elicited and analyzed or represented. We review the strengths and weaknesses of various methods that have been used to elicit, represent, and analyze individual and team mental models and provide recommendations for method selection and development. We describe the nature of mental models and review techniques that have been used to elicit and represent them. We focus on a case study on selecting a method to examine team mental models in industry. The processes involved in the selection and development of an appropriate method for eliciting, representing, and analyzing team mental models are described. The criteria for method selection were (a) applicability to the problem under investigation; (b) practical considerations---suitability for collecting data from the targeted research sample; and (c) theoretical rationale---the assumption that associative networks in memory are a basis for the development of mental models. We provide an evaluation of the method matched to the research problem and make recommendations for future research. The practical applications of this research include the provision of a technique for analyzing team mental models in organizations, the development of methods and processes for eliciting a mental model from research participants in their normal work environment, and a survey of available methodologies for mental model research.
