Asotin County Fire District No.1 firefighters responded to a fire off of 22nd Street in the Heights. While the house looks untouched from the outside, the fire destroyed the interior. Fire Chief Noel Hardin said all signs point to an electrical fire. He says to make sure cords, plugs and wires are all up to safety regulation standards.
"Your extension cords ... make sure they're extension cords big enough," said Hardin. "I don't mean long enough but I mean actually large enough that it can handle the type of device that you're putting on it whether it's a heater or heat lamp."
Hardin said the fire department is seeing a lot of people use cheap extension cords, and piling up devices on those cords especially as temperatures dip well below freezing.

BERLIN — Wella was back in the financial news this week.
This story first appeared in the February 26, 2003 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Rumors that Wella's majority shareholders, the Ströher family, might be reconsidering their position on the possible sale of the German hair and cosmetics company briefly boosted Wella share prices more than 5 percent Monday. On Tuesday, the stock closed down 1.4 percent in Frankfurt at $62.85 a common share. All dollar figures are calculated from the euro at current exchange rates.
Reports in the financial press suggested that the Ströher family, previously divided on the advisability of a sale, were "moving towards selling it amid signs of interest from Procter & Gamble, Unilever and L'Oréal." A Wella spokesman responded: "We're familiar with this speculation from the past and the present, but we do not comment on speculation."
Last October, Wella reportedly turned down an informal $5.7 billion offer from Henkel on the grounds that it was too low. (Wella's current market value is about $4 billion.) The company officially denied having received any offer from Henkel. At that time, sources said parties within the Ströher family were against a sale on principle.
One analyst told WWD it "could be true" that the Ströhers were having a change of heart. She suggested that Wella's management probably didn't receive an offer from Henkel, whereas the family may very well have. But the fact that Wella's management stated "in October that they had not received a bid from Henkel…was a way of signalling to the market that they are open to options, including selling the company."
However, German companies, especially family-owned ones, are extremely slow, she noted, and so this new rumor "doesn't necessarily mean that anything will happen quickly." Also, she pointed out that the presumed source, so-called "Branchenkreisen" or industry circles, are notoriously unreliable. "Since no one really is close to the family, many things can be made up that are not necessarily true," she concluded.

Amid the hangover following Sunday's rather tumultous loss at Chicago, there was a potential silver lining in coach Jim Schwartz's media briefing on Monday.
The second-year head coach danced around Calvin Johnson's negated, game-winning touchdown grab, an episode the team would rather forget about completely, but did share a somewhat hopeful outlook on quarterback Matthew Stafford's injury prognosis.
The best news? He won't require surgery.
"Matt's very sore today," said Schwartz, "We've had some good returns from his test that it doesn't look like surgery is going to be needed, but how much time he misses is still going to be up in the air and we'll probably know a little bit more on Wednesday."
It's difficult to assess any timetable on Stafford, especially given the fact that he's too sore to provide adequate mobility tests to the team's staff.
An ESPN television "scroll" suggested he could miss 4-8 weeks, along with a visit to league injury specialist (and surgeon) Dr. James Andrews. Schwartz and Stafford have since rebuffed the report, which as of Tuesday afternoon was removed from the ESPN ticker.
In fact, on Free Press columnist Mitch Albom's radio program Monday, Stafford didn't even absolve the chance of playing Sunday's home opener against Philadelphia.
The truth is likely somewhat in between.
"He's still dealing with soreness and some swelling, so it's nothing you can put a timetable on," Schwartz said. "It's nothing you can say that this is a one-week, two-week or 12-week thing. You just have to see how it progresses."
Said Stafford, "We will just have to see. It adds a different aspect to it, obviously, being that it's the arm I throw with. I just have to see what it takes to heal it up."
Given the fact he won't require surgery, and Schwartz's confidence in back-up Shaun Hill, it would be a long-shot to see Stafford return in the next week or even in the immediate future.
The Lions have back-to-back road contests at defensive-minded Minnesota and Green Bay following the home opener, and if Stafford isn't 100-percent by that time, it might be counterproductive to force him into the line-up with an ailing throwing arm.
On October 10, Week 5 of the NFL campaign, the Lions will host St. Louis. And perhaps set-up the most ideal return for the second-year starting quarterback.
"When he's healthy and he's feeling good, he will be back on the field," Schwartz said. "We don't want to push him back and we're not going to put him out there if he's not able to make all the throws he needs to make or if he's protecting it to where he's not able to take a hit. All of that goes into our consideration."
- The injury news wasn't as hopeful for rookie cornerback Aaron Berry. The undrafted prospect gathered an interception against Chicago, but dealt with shoulder issues throughout the game. An MRI revealed that Berry had reaggravated a previous injury, and will require season-ending surgery. The Lions signed veteran and former Bears cornerback Nathan Vasher to replace him. Vasher, 29, was considered a key free-agent acquisition by San Diego, but failed to earn the job in training camp.
- LT Jeff Backus, who was matched up on Bears RDE Julius Peppers Sunday, was beaten cleanly by Peppers on the play that injured Stafford. It was the only tackle Peppers had all day, and Backus felt horrible about it. "It's your worst nightmare as an offensive lineman," said Backus. "You don't ever want to get your quarterback hurt. It's our job to keep him upright and I didn't do that today."
- Stafford sent Backus a text message Sunday night. "I knew people were going to be talking about him and that play for a while and I told him I wouldn't rather have any other left tackle in the league," Stafford said on a local radio show. "The guy does great work for us. He's a true professional and I just wanted to let him know I appreciated him. The fact I got hurt had nothing to do with him. It didn't happen on the initial hit. It was a freaky thing where Peppers put me right on my right shoulder while holding my right arm down after he stripped (the ball)."
- As for the overturned go-ahead touchdown reception by Calvin Johnson that would have put the Lions ahead with 24 seconds left Sunday, Schwartz again on Monday refused to criticize the call or the rule that was upheld. "The spirit of the rule is, if someone goes to the ground he has to come up with the ball," he said. "You can parse the rule any way you want. I am not going to parse the rule book. My job is to be the head coach of the Lions, not to make rules or to officiate games."
- QB Shaun Hill will start at quarterback if injured Matthew Stafford is unable. The Lions signed Hill to a one-year deal over the summer and then gave him a two-year extension; obviously, they think they can survive a few weeks with him running the offense. "He is just a football-playing dude," Schwartz said, adding that the Lions wouldn't have to drastically alter their offensive game plans to accommodate him.
- DE Cliff Avril not only injured his knee in the first half Sunday, but he also broke his pinky in three places. The finger won't keep him out of the lineup, but the knee might. His status won't be revealed until later in the week.
- RB Jahvid Best struggled in his debut (20 yards in 14 carries) but he earned praised from coach Jim Schwartz, both for his two touchdown runs and his gutsy blitz pick-up on Bears MLB Brian Urlacher on the controversial non-catch by Calvin Johnson. "Best got blasted but he got up underneath and gave Shaun Hill enough time to deliver the ball," Schwartz said. "It didn't look good for him but he made the play."

In a gathering today, Lowcountry officials asked area residents to extend a helping hand to victims of Hurricane Sandy through the areas Charleston Cares: Sandy Relief program.
The program aims to collect supplies and monetary donations to benefit towns and cities devastated by the storm.
Officials from across Charleston County met in front of Piggly Wiggly at the Ashley Landing Shopping Center to announce support for the program.
We have been hearing from our area residents who ask what they can do to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy on our northeastern coast. They remember the aid we received after Hugo and always want to give back when others are in need, Charleston Mayor Joe Riley said in a news release. Those of us here know that the time is now when supplies are going to become critical. No stores are open in areas where power is lacking and emergency supplies are running out.
A Piggly Wiggly representative kicked off the initiative by presenting check for $2,500 to the Coastal Community Foundation Fund.
Residents are encouraged to donate non-perishable food, diapers, baby wipes, paper towels and bathroom tissue, band-aids, batteries, flashlights, bottled water and juices, soap, hand sanitizer, tools, shovels, work gloves, hand saws, garbage bags, and cleaning supplies.
The program is not collecting clothes, the release said.
Residents are asked to drop off donations at the following locations:
- All City of Charleston Fire Departments
- All City of North Charleston Fire Departments
- All Sullivans Island Fire Departments
- All Isle of Palms Fire Stations

There are also other reasons for adding .pc files in the distribution.I think Nalin nailed the salient point: if the upstream doesn't ship a .pc, then packages building against it shouldn't be relying on there being one. I'll agree it's a PITA that upstream won't but that's a completely different issue. In the meantime, Ralf's right, whether anyone thinks he is being brusque or not.
But this was never a case where "upstream won't", it was that "upstream hasn't done it yet" and apparently wasn't informed by the packager who should know the most about the distro's needs that it was needed.

2012 Land Conservation
A Year to Remember in Rhode Island
The Nature Conservancy worked with RIDEM to acquire 120 acres of Tiverton Rod & Gun Club property, opening the land for public recreation.
The Nature Conservancy had an amazing year conserving land in perpetuity throughout the state for environmental and recreation purposes. From Johnston, to Block Island, to Tiverton and everywhere in between important tracts were conserved for the public and future generations to enjoy. Many different types of property were protected including freshwater, farmland, forest, field and shore.
With the help of our many conservation partners including: Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, The Champlin Foundations, Block Island Conservancy, Block Island Land Trust, West Greenwich Land Trust, and US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Conservancy preserved 15 properties throughout the state totaling over 750 acres. A sum of $6,979,000 was spent for the properties, which had a fair market value of $11,585,000. Amazingly, 4 of these properties were outright donations! The Conservancy could not have had this banner year without the help and support of our donors and conservation partners.
Not to rest on our laurels, early 2013 is already shaping up to be a busy one with 8 tracts totaling 335 acres scheduled to be conserved by March. These properties are in Glocester, West Greenwich, Portsmouth, Tiverton and Block Island.
What happens after March 2013 is yet to be determined - but rest assured - with our conservation partners we will continue to identify key properties throughout the state and conserve them!
If you would like to know more about the work the Rhode Island Chapter of The Nature Conservancy is doing in land protection and conservation in Rhode Island call 401-331-7110 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

NSA: No Problemo...Until
By Coleen Rowley
Unfortunately, that decision dropped us so far down the rabbit hole that Chairman Feinstein's apt warning of "constitutional crisis" hardly gets a rise out of her fellow spied-on colleagues, many of whom still seem inclined to continue the partisan gaming of such serious wrongdoing as torture. By contrast, similar COINTELPRO type revelations at the end of the Vietnam War and outing of war deceits and cover-ups did meet with widespread outrage and concern, making for bipartisanship that led to the end of the Vietnam War, the Church and Pike Committees' investigations and Nixon's resignation.
Does anyone know whether Senators Frank Church and Howard Baker ever realized (or even guessed) they were themselves being targeted by the NSA's secret Minaret Program? (The NSA also monitored 1650 other Americans--whose identities still remain largely unknown.) It seems that Feinstein's seeing of the light could be a kind of deja-vu from that moment when Senators Church, Baker and maybe others realized the war, its corollary spying, Kent State type repression and attempt at public information control, etc wasn't merely directed toward others. They may have realized that they were no longer seen as "us" in "us versus them." When that truth hits, then the Congress, media and public opinion can turn against continuing the status quo and some real change can become possible.
In this vein, it's darkly funny that the Secret Spy Machine's greatest defender Michael Hayden only seems to have showed concern once about any potential adverse repercussions of his hasty post 9-11 decision to turn the massive spy operation upon US citizens as well as foreign people. It was when some FBI agent (probably not understanding who's in the "Us" insider club) applied "collect it all" to Hayden's buddy, General Petraeus' sex affairs. Hayden finally became a little concerned that "collect it all" had gone too far when it took down his friend. Information IS power!
I just hope that Feinstein and other Congresspersons now understand they really aren't in the trusted top echelons of the Deep State Secret Spy Club and ultimately this "nearly Orwellian" apparatus has already been turned onto even other branches of government just as it was upon those foreign country leaders termed "allies." It's very much a constitutional crisis! Recall also that the only time Feinstein seemed concerned about NSA spying was learning it included Angela Merkel's cell phone. Maybe she identified with the other powerful female leader who previously thought she was in the Club. A little light was starting to go on. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi should wake up too that "collect it all" means her legislative oversight efforts are also in the crosshairs.
Edward Snowden should become the first witness called by a new Church Committee! Ultimately common sense tells us that restoring the rule of law will entail: 1) ending the global war on terror; 2) focusing on the bad guys, not the innocent. Stop adding hay to the haystack. Restoring due process that allows greater intrusiveness upon individuals' freedom only as the level of evidence and judicial certitude increases; 3) reducing governmental secrecy to a necessary minimum by making it temporary instead of perpetual; 4) increasing independent oversight of and whistleblower protection in all intelligence agencies and national security contractors; 5) reducing governmental corruption and "revolving door" conflicts of interest that Eisenhower was first to warn about and which were supposed to be banned by Office of Government Ethics rules; and 5) repealing the two provisions of the 1917 Espionage Act, 18 U.S.C. 793 (d) and (e), that are being used to prosecute disclosures to the press, i.e. the copying and retaining of classified information as well as potentially prosecuting news reporters and organizations directly.
Coleen Rowley -- a former FBI special agent and division counsel whose May 2002 memo to the FBI Director exposed some of the FBI's pre-9/11 failures -- was named one of Time magazine's "Persons of the Year" in 2002. Rowley wrote to the FBI Director again in February 2003 with some hard questions about the reliability of the evidence being adduced to "justify" the impending invasion of Iraq.
Ego trumps principle: Sen. Feinstein Finally Goes after the CIA, but not for Lying to and Spying on Us
By Dave Lindorff
Of all the people to come to the rescue of the Constitution, who would have thought it would be Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA).
Feinstein, after all, as head of the Senate Intelligence Committee since 2009, has yet to see an NSA violation of the Constitution, an invasive spying program or a creative "re-interpretation" of the law that she hasn't applauded as being lawful and "needed" to "keep people safe."

Why Amazon's Collaboration with the CIA Is So Ominous -- and Vulnerable
By Norman Solomon
As the world's biggest online retailer, Amazon wants a benevolent image to encourage trust from customers. Obtaining vast quantities of their personal information has been central to the firm's business model. But Amazon is diversifying -- and a few months ago the company signed a $600 million contract with the Central Intelligence Agency to provide "cloud computing" services.
Amazon now has the means, motive and opportunity to provide huge amounts of customer information to its new business partner. An official statement from Amazon headquarters last fall declared: "We look forward to a successful relationship with the CIA."
The Central Intelligence Agency has plenty of money to throw around. Thanks to documents provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, we know that the CIA's annual budget is $14.7 billion; the NSA's is $10.8 billion.
The founder and CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, is bullish on the company's prospects for building on its initial contract with the CIA. As you might expect from a gung-ho capitalist with about $25 billion in personal wealth, Bezos figures he's just getting started.

A study in the Journal of Medical Internet Research involving 30 patients who participated in the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center's My HealtheVet Pilot showed that allowing patients to access their EHRs could enhance patients' involvement in their care. Researchers revealed that accessing EHRs improved patients' understanding of their health conditions as well as their communication with doctors. "Viewing their records appears to empower patients and enhance their contributions to care, calling into question common provider concerns about the effect of full record access on patient well-being," according to the authors.

15 Things You Shouldn't Say to an Atheist
Hemant Mehta is arguing with Christians, but he's making cogent points we could all benefit from. The essence of his litany is that Christians (he could have addressed Muslims as well) are driven by a need to spread their faith around the globe, whether through persuasion or, should the occasion call for it, by applying a little pressure.
Jews, for the most part, don't believe the whole world should become Jewish. The opposite is true. While we feel that the whole world would do well to live according to the rules of the Torah intended for them, as interpreted by our sages, it's OK if they stay Christian, Muslim or even pagan and atheist with a strong sense of right and wrong and a passion for fairness.
For Jews, faith is a personal choice, taken through an intellectual process. We don't trust religious impulses and emotional appeals. Give us a good book to figure out.
Which is why I enjoyed immensely Mehta's entertaining clip. He would make a great Jew.

It's been a while since I gave you guys a WTF post...10/06/10
At first I thought this would be cool to try...10/03/10
Article parodies science articles by writing article about science articles using all the tricks science articles use. Huh??10/01/10
This is for Frank and Gianmarc. Here is a funny article that uses all the stereotypical templates that science articles use to write about bad science, bad research or boring topics. Excerpt:
I will preface them with "it is believed" or "scientists think" to avoid giving the impression of passing any sort of personal judgement on even the most inane facts.
This fragment will be put on its own line for no obvious reason.
In this paragraph I will reference or quote some minor celebrity, historical figure, eccentric, or a group of sufferers; because my editors are ideologically committed to the idea that all news stories need a "human interest", and I'm not convinced that the scientists are interesting enough.

> Hornady .44 cal 240 gr XTP - Anyone use it for hunting?
November 1, 2009, 06:33 PM
I was wondering if anyone had experience with the Hornady 240 gr XTP in the .44 magnum on whitetails. I was thinking about trying some this year in my M-29.
Any suggestions?

I've been using the .44 cal XTP on whitetails for about 15 years. For the first five in a muzzle loader with sabots. And for the last ten in a SBH Hunter. Both the 300 gr and 240 gr. Probably, 20 plus deer. Performance has been superb. I've got quit a collection of perfectly mushroomed bullets. At this point I don't even consider using anything else. The muzzle loader, in particular, with the 300 gr XTP killed like lighting bolts. Deer would just fold and drop right were they stood. The pistol can't generate the same velocities, but is still very dependable. The 300 gr XTP isn't accurate enough in my SBH to justify it's use.

I use the Hornady XTP's in my Super Redhawk. Great bullets. I've used the 240's to take several deer. My black bear load are the 300's, but I haven't had the chance to pull the trigger on a blackie yet!
Both have been very accurate out of my SRH.
November 1, 2009, 08:17 PM
I haven't used Hornady's bullet yet, but I took this year's deer with a Remington 240 grain hollowpoint in my Marlin 1894. Got 100% penetration, so I don't have a recovered bullet. I do however have a recovered deer which only got about 40 feet from the spot I shot him. I'd expect the performance of the Hornady bullet to be about the same.
November 1, 2009, 09:19 PM
Works great. I load it behind a max load of 296 in my Anaconda. Multiple complete passthroughs even on quartering on shots and deer down very quickly.
November 2, 2009, 12:26 AM
Yes! I got one deer last year at 62 yds with a 240 gr XTP in a Model 94. Clean and quick.
November 2, 2009, 01:46 PM
Marlin 1894, Hornady XTP 240g handloaded to 1740 fps, one deer, one pig, no problem, good bullet.
November 2, 2009, 02:01 PM
countless pigs and 5 deer with that bullet. Very happy with it.
November 2, 2009, 02:21 PM
I was curious about it on hogs. I've never used it on them and I wasn't sure if I needed to use a hard cast. Do you have any horror stories of the 240 xtp on hogs?
November 2, 2009, 02:51 PM
No horror stories but I typically use hardcast lead for pigs. The XTPs were used while deer hunting or because they were in the pistol when I saw pigs. They have worked just fine though I have passed on larger pigs when the cylinder was full of XTPs. I have taken pigs up to 260lbs with the XTPs typically I shoot behing the ear on anything over 150lbs and take heart/lung shots on the stuff smaller.
November 3, 2009, 03:12 PM
use the 300gr XTP's you will like them better, that is my standard hunting load for my 444 Marlin.
November 3, 2009, 07:29 PM
Hornady .44 cal 240 gr XTP - Anyone use it for hunting?
yes............very accurate round for deer loaded over H110/W296.
November 4, 2009, 03:43 AM
Have killed about 25 deer and a couple hundred hogs with the 240 grain .430 XTP bullet fired from my muzzleloaders. Velocity is about the same as a rifle in .44 magnum claiber.
Do you have any horror stories of the 240 xtp on hogs?
Not really, i have messed up a few shots and had to track them down: Have not lost one yet. Have killed hogs at ranges up to 150 yards with that bullet fired from my muzzleloaders. About 20 of those hogs went over 225 pounds and several have gone over 300 pounds.
