Performance, Battery Life & Conclusion
In addition to delivering 6th Generation Intel CPUs (your choice of a Core i3, i5, or i7), the big performance news with the ThinkPad T460 platform is support for up to 32GB of RAM if you add a pair of 16GB DIMMS—a not-insignificant $330 investment. Our only problem with that: Most applications that would need so much RAM would also benefit from some graphics horsepower, but the ThinkPad T460 platform doesn't support anything but Intel integrated graphics. Still, the 2.4GHz Intel Core i5-6300U CPU, 8GB of RAM, and Intel HD Graphics 520 in our test model combined to deliver very respectable performance in our field of mainstream business laptops: the Lenovo ThinkPad T460s, Dell Latitude 14 5000 (E5470), Dell XPS 13 (2016, Kaby Lake), HP EliteBook 745 G3, and Lenovo ThinkPad 13.
Here's a breakdown of the CPU and graphics used in our test models of these machines for some context around the numbers coming up below...
Synthetic Tests
PCMark 8 is a holistic performance suite developed by the PC benchmark specialists at Futuremark. It contains several presets that simulate different real-world productivity and content-creation workflows. We use the Work Conventional scenario to assess overall system performance for office-centric tasks such as word processing, spreadsheeting, Web browsing, and videoconferencing. The test generates a proprietary numeric score; higher numbers are better.
The ThinkPad T460 performed as expected here, trailing the Dell entries that came with slightly faster processors. (Notably, the Latitude 14 used an "HQ" full-mobile-grade CPU, as opposed to the "U" series ultramobile chips in the two Lenovos.)
Next is Maxon's CPU-crunching Cinebench R15 test, which is fully threaded to make use of all available processor cores and threads while using the CPU rather than GPU to render a complex image. The result is a proprietary score indicating a PC's suitability for processor-intensive workloads.
Again, no surprises here, with all the laptops lining up pretty much in CPU-speed order.
Multimedia Tests
Our Handbrake video-editing test is another tough, threaded workout that's highly CPU-dependent. In it, we put a stopwatch on test systems as they transcode a standard five-minute clip of 1080p video to a smartphone format. Because this is a timed test, lower results are better.
The ThinkPad T460 was right on point here with the pack, as you can see, and it's here that the HQ-versus-U processor trade-off comes the clearest, in the time difference between the ThinkPads and the HQ-equipped Latitude.
We also run a custom Adobe Photoshop image-editing benchmark. Using Photoshop version CS6, we apply a series of 11 complex filters and effects to a standard JPEG test image. We time each operation and, at the end, add up the total execution time. As with Handbrake, lower times are better here.
Here the ThinkPad T460 hit its stride again, placing behind the faster Dell models but just about dead even with its ThinkPad T460s stablemate.
Graphics & Gaming Tests
Our first graphics test is Futuremark's 3DMark, which measures relative graphics muscle by rendering sequences of highly detailed, gaming-style 3D graphics that emphasize particles and lighting. The low-resolution Cloud Gate preset (meant for entry-level PCs) isn't much of a challenge for today's systems, but the Fire Strike Extreme preset makes even high-end gaming systems break a sweat.
The ThinkPad T460 had a very good relative showing here, with only the Dell Latitude 14 5000 (with its dedicated AMD Radeon R7 M360 chip) pulling far ahead.
Next come two grueling DirectX 11 gaming simulations, Heaven 4.0 and Valley 1.0. Unigine's popular tests push graphics processors to the limit in complex flyovers of a skyborne steampunk village (Heaven) and a stormy nature scene (Valley), both filled with particle and lighting effects. We test systems at medium image-quality settings at 1,366x768 resolution and again at top or ultra quality settings at 1,920x1,080 resolution (for desktops) or native screen resolution (for laptops). Native for the ThinkPad T460 was 1080p in our test unit.
None of the machines in this group could muster the desired 30 frames per second you want to see, especially at native resolutions topping out at 1,920x1,080. None could even manage it at 1,366x768 and modest settings. But the ThinkPad T460's results in the high-teens/low-twenties at 1,366x768 show that you could get there by dialing back the eye candy in the games a bit more. It's pretty much what you'd expect from integrated graphics in a modern mainstream laptop, no more, no less.
Battery Life
To test battery life, we set up the machine in power-save mode (as opposed to balanced or high-performance mode) and make a few other battery-conserving tweaks in preparation for our unplugged video-rundown test. In this test, we loop a video—a locally stored MP4 file containing the full The Lord of the Rings trilogy—with screen brightness set at 50 percent and volume at 100 percent until the system conks out.
The ThinkPad T460 showed very well here. It ran for nearly 10 hours with just the slender 23-watt-hour battery installed. (Again, keep in mind there's an internal 23-watt-hour battery lurking inside.) And with the extended 72-watt-hour battery, the machine delivers almost all-day battery life. And we don't mean all of a work day—at 21-plus hours of runtime, we mean nearing a 24-hour day!
The base-model ThinkPad T460 comes with Windows 10 Home edition, but we suspect most business buyers will step up to the Pro version for just $30 more. If you're still enamored with Windows 7, you can opt for that (well, it's pre-installed, and can be resurrected via the Windows 10 Pro "downgrade"), but that rollback will cost you $70. Go figure.
Lenovo also includes its excellent set of utilities for managing all manner of machine functions. At order time, Lenovo offers a good selection of Microsoft, Adobe, McAfee, and Norton software, but none of it is foisted upon you as a "free trial." The warranty is the standard one-year parts/labor carry-in or depot service, with extensions available.
What more can we say? The Lenovo ThinkPad T460 is the quintessential mainstream business laptop. At the minimum, you get durability, security, and a killer keyboard. The rest? You can configure all that to match your needs and your budget.
But it's hard to describe the appeal of this unit from looks or simple specs alone. You just have to type on it, and use it day to day. Once you do, we bet you'll be sold. You get just the right mix of ports and connections, without needing dongles. And that keyboard reminds us of slamming the door of a luxury car: weighty, authoritative, secure. It reminds you, every time, that you bought something of quality.

Outcome of the Sasol case
(Following is a guideline for journalists. The information can be used but please do not quote Nandi Mokoena)
Competition Tribunal imposes R534 million penalty on Sasol for over charging
Today the Competition Tribunal found Sasol Chemical Industries Limited ("SCI"), a subsidiary of Sasol Ltd ("Sasol"), guilty of charging domestic customers excessive prices for purified propylene and polypropylene between January 2004 and December 2007.
The Tribunal stated that the price SCI charged Safripol, SCI's only external customer for purified propylene and a competitor of SCI downstream, was to Safripol's detriment and inhibited its ability to effectively compete with SCI. In addition, SCI's locally charged polypropylene prices have had a significant adverse effect on the local plastic converters and caused them harm during the complaint period.
The Tribunal imposed a penalty of R205.2 million in the case of purified propylene and R328.8 million in respect of polypropylene. It also imposed remedies for determining SCI's future pricing of both purified propylene and polypropylene that would see SCI's prices charged to local customers drop.
Purified propylene, produced from feedstock propylene, is an input in the production of polypropylene. Polypropylene is a key input for plastic converters who manufacture industrial and household plastic products. Hence the price of both purified propylene and polypropylene, as intermediate products, would have significant relevance to the price of household plastic goods such as buckets, brooms, storage containers and industrial products such as motor car parts, water tanks and the like.
The Tribunal's finding comes after a lengthy hearing into allegations of excessive pricing brought by the Competition Commission against SCI. The hearing ran over several months, starting on 13 May 2013, with final submissions in the case being made on 09 May 2014. In its complaint the Commission alleged that SCI was a dominant market player and that, between 2004 and 2007, it had charged excessive prices for purified propylene and polypropylene to the detriment of consumers and in contravention of the Competition Act. SCI denied the allegations. During the proceedings the Tribunal heard the evidence and testimony of 13 witnesses including 8 experts comprising industry, financial and economic experts on both sides.
Much of the Tribunal's judgment focused on the historical context within which Sasol was established, the significant State support and the protection which Sasol received over the years. These measures, the Tribunal found, contributed to Sasol Synfuels becoming one of the lowest cost producers of feedstock propylene, a by-product of Sasol's fuel production. Because of Sasol Synfuels' low feedstock propylene costs, SCI is a low cost producer of purified propylene and one of the lowest cost polypropylene producers in the world. SCI argued in the hearing that the Tribunal should ignore this cost advantage in arriving at its decision while the Commission argued that the cost advantage should be taken into account. The Tribunal decided to take the cost advantage into account, finding that SCI's market positions in the markets under scrutiny were not the result of risk taking and innovation on its part since it has not engaged in any significant innovation in the production of either purified propylene or polypropylene, but rather due to past exclusive or special rights, in particular very significant historical state support for a considerable period of time.
During the complaint period SCI charged Safripol two purified propylene prices – a higher "Tier 2" price and a lower "Tier 1" price. Applying a price-cost test, the Tribunal found that SCI's mark-ups of purified propylene prices over actual costs (including an appropriate return on capital) during the complaint period were in the range of 39.9% – 41.5% for Tier 2 sales to Safripol and in the range of 25.1% – 26.5% for Tier 1 sales to Safripol.
For polypropylene the Tribunal found that SCI's mark-up of its polypropylene price over actual costs (including an appropriate return on capital) during the complaint period was in the range of 26.9% – 36.5%.
The Tribunal further found, by comparing the average export netback price for deep sea exports of polypropylene (i.e. excluding exports into Southern Africa) to SCI's local prices, that SCI's local prices for polypropylene over the relevant cycle (FY02 – FY08) were on average 23% higher than average deep sea export prices.
The Tribunal also found that SCI's domestic prices charged for polypropylene were 41% and 47% higher for homopolymer and raffia grade polypropylene respectively in the complaint period compared to the discounted prices in Western Europe computed on the basis of feedstock costs comparable to SCI.
After having regard to the nature of the products, their importance as intermediate inputs in industrial development, market characteristics and circumstances, the objects of our Act understood in the context of the South African economy, the history of the dominant firm and how it acquired its dominance, we find that the purified propylene and polypropylene prices charged by SCI during the relevant period bear no reasonable relation to the economic value of these products, the Tribunal said in its judgment. Thus the Tribunal found that, based on the above, the prices charged by SCI were excessive.
Instead of imposing only an administrative penalty, the Tribunal opted for a reduced monetary penalty together with a forward-looking remedy that would directly change SCI's pricing behaviour since this would provide both relief and certainty to SCI and its customers and would therefore be more appropriate. Hence the Tribunal imposed a method for determining SCI's future pricing of both purified propylene and polypropylene.
The Tribunal concluded that SCI's exercise of market power and its excessive prices have resulted in a missed opportunity for innovation and development for the domestic manufacture of downstream plastic goods. Cheaper polypropylene prices for local plastic converters could enhance local production thereby enabling them to compete more effectively with imported final plastic products, manufacture locally rather than overseas and introduce new products to South African consumers adding to their choice of product through greater innovation.

For those who have loved ones fighting the war on terror today - it shows us how very lucky we are to have nearly instant news about loved ones in harms way. Compared to today's war, WW2 gathered nearly every able bodied man and many women into the effort. The families had to endure months or even years without any news at all.
Please take some time to read about these men and their families. They are the reason our country is the great nation it is today - they should not be forgotten.

The announcer: "A spoiled child is telling us our Social Security isn't safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, here's your answer, you ungrateful whelp: [audio sound of 4 gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little bastard. [audio of gun being cocked]."
The audio production at the center of the controversy aired during opening minutes of The Randi Rhodes Show.
"What is with all the killing?" Rhodes said, laughing, after the clip aired.
First there was Chimp Shrub, then there was Bushitler, now the liberals are running sound bytes that imply shooting the President because they don't like his policies... are videos next? Do we get to see an actor who looks like Bush, gunned down or blown up because of his policy proposals?
It makes me wonder what they think they are going to accomplish. Instead of coming up with a substantive argument, they are saying - we don't like these policies, so shoot the person proposing them. How does this help anything? It's not even funny - sorry but it's not. (in general I have a very good sense of humor and I can find even the most ridiculous things amusing - but they lost me on this one)
I know it says the Secret Service is investigating - I wonder how illegal this is... I will admit that I find it very unsettling to hear that this is being broadcast, even if very very few people are listening to it. Mainly because I have too many memories of the 60's where people committed crimes like assault (on returning troops) and instead of them being arrested, the victims were told to suck it up and put up with it... It worries me that this could escalate into actual acts against people - either the President himself, or his supporters.
I will be watching to see what happens... Let's just hope this doesn't fall under the "suck it up and put up with it" category. It would be an extremely bad precedent.
UPDATE: Eugene Volokh weighs in with his take on the First Amendment issue and it's application in this case. A small excerpt...
A brief First Amendment analysis: Joking about shooting the President certainly isn't a crime as such; threatening to shoot the President is. Threats (whether against the President or not) are indeed constitutionally unprotected, but to be a punishable threats, a statement must at least be understood by a reasonable listener as a true threat, rather than just hyperbole (or humor).
It seems this puts the "skit" into the - joking rather than the threatening category, which means that although it's in very poor taste, it's not illegal. I wonder if Air America will fire her... Still, the tape is out there, it's readily accessible for all those on the net. The next time it will be a bit worse and less attention will be paid... you can almost see the cycle of it. But, if it's not illegal, then we have to wait until we get to the point where the actions do become illegal. Thus we maintain our freedom of speech. Works for me.

Eugene Volokh - who has a professional interest - has been following things more closely and is not persuaded that there is any religious bigotry going on.
But disagreement with a judicial candidate's strong moral views on legally significant topics is not religious bigotry, and can't be faulted on "disparate impact" grounds.
I don't dispute that statement, but maybe I can give some perspective from a non-lawyerly point of view. We've gotten to the point where every single candidate for every single job in government is rated by their stance on Roe v. Wade. It's gone past the point of the ridiculous and become almost ludicrous.
The simple fact is that Roe v Wade is out there. I suppose that could change at some point in the future, but in all honesty, those of us just taking a passing interest only hear about these judges in connection with Roe... We only hear the Senators talking about them in connection with Roe... I am quite sure that all of these judges have quite an extensive background in the law or they wouldn't be nominees in this process. Unfortunately for us, it appears that the only way the Democratic Senators can make these nominees look unacceptable - even somewhat like the country bumpkin who has wandered into Maxims in Paris and can't figure out which fork to use - is to keep dragging their religion into the discussion and apply it to Roe v Wade - to the point of hysteria. And sadly, the Republican Senators (even with a majority) seem totally unable to assert themselves.
Every person who becomes a judicial nominee - either liberal or conservative - has a moral compass that, as a human being, will be called into the equation when they are rendering a decision. What I take from all of this is that unless the moral compass of the judge falls into the Democrat's ideology, they will try to block the vote - even though they are not in the majority. Thus we have the filibuster that is not a filibuster at all... In short, the majority is not ruling, the minority is... seems a bit contrary to the spirit of our Constitution, but what do I know?

While many of the people did well in one or more category, only three percent met the basic requirements of all four. The details:
* 76 percent didn't smoke
* 40 percent maintained a healthy weight (these tended to be younger and better educated)
* 23 percent ate five or more fruits and vegetables a day
* 22 percent got at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity at least five times a week
Little did you know that there is a LIST. I suppose we must tack this to the refrigerator to remind us what we must do everyday. And here I thought I could do what I wanted in my life once I got out of school... Silly me!
A few of my pet annoyances have turned up in this list.
1) what is a "healthy" weight??? Can someone please define this for me? Are we going by charts? BMI? Muscle to fat ratio?
2) what is the sacredness of the FIVE fruits and vegetables a day? Why not 3 or 10? How do we determine that 5 is the best for every single person in America - no matter their height, weight, inherited background... Apparently someone somewhere has determined that this is a number written in stone - it can not be varied or you don't have a healthy lifestyle... (to which I kindly call - BS)
3) what do they mean by "moderate" exercise? Walking? Running? Aerobics? Martial arts? What if you do an hour 3 days a week? If walking is the exercise - how fast do you have to go in order for it to count?
And what is the ultimate point of this study?
"These data, along with those that illustrate the benefit of following a healthy lifestyle, support the need for comprehensive primary prevention activities to increase healthy lifestyles and to reduce the prevalence of chronic risk factors," the scientists write in the April 25 issue of the journal Archives of Internal Medicine.
Ah yes, we knew it was coming didn't we... there is a "need"! We "need" to support the list. We "need" to push the list at people. We "need" FUNDING for this!!! Oh yes we do.
Personally, I want them to define their terms and defend their quantities. I want them to definitively show me that by missing one or two things on this list - it will kill me. Otherwise, they are simply blowing smoke and looking for a cash handout - and I'm not in the mood to donate right now. But by all means, put that 3% who do everything right on the list for sainthood... after all if you do everything right all the time, you should get some sort of reward!

"Thanks Gary. I have a message for one person in this audience - I'm sorry the rest of you have to sit through this. As you know, my computer was stolen in my last lecture. The thief apparently wanted to betray everybody's trust, and was after the exam.
First of all - if he doesn't know who the thief is, how in the world does he know WHY the thief stole his laptop? Was there a note left behind... "hey dude, sorry I took your laptop, but I really wanted to get hold of the exam you have on here!" Right off the bat, the professor has stepped into it - showing he'll jump to any and all conclusions, with absolutely no proof.
The thief was smart not to plug the computer into the campus network, but the thief was not smart enough to do three things: he was not smart enough to immediately remove Windows. I installed the same version of Windows on another computer - within fifteen minutes the people in Redmond Washington were very interested to know why it was that the same version of Windows was being signalled to them from two different computers.
Please - professor, before you start talking about what Microsoft is doing... please find out how the process works so you don't sound like a complete moron. (I'm just sayin'). Now if he did try to install the same version of Windows (one assumes in this case it was XP which is the ONLY version that will do this presently) on a different computer... the result would be an inability on his part to activate his newly installed version of the operating system on the second computer. In other words - it just wouldn't work. Microsoft doesn't give a hoot in hell whether or not you can get the computer to boot. They'll just make sure that your OS won't work until YOU get in touch with THEM. Got it? They don't go to you... You have to go to them! So, there we have the second problem with the big scary lecture.
The thief also did not inactivate either the wireless card or the transponder that's in that computer. Within about an hour, there was a signal from various places on campus that's allowed us to track exactly where that computer went every time that it was turned on.
Next load of crap - man it's getting deep in here... unless the wireless card had a hard coded IP address in it - highly unlikely - there is no way (without digging into the MAC address - the actual hard coded number given out to each Network Card) to figure out which wireless card is accessing a wireless access point. You see - in large networks, it's logistically impossible to give out IP addresses individually, so network cards are set up to go to a server which then gives them an IP address to use, when they boot up or when they turn on their wireless card to access the internet. This means that everytime you hook up to the internet, you are given a new IP address - thus making it nearly impossible to distinguish which IP goes with which computer. There are ways - but they are involved and take time.
Plus - if the laptop had some sort of "transponder" that could let it be tracked - this would be separate from the wireless card... then it should be a matter of mere minutes until you find the laptop and likely the person who stole it. I'm not sure about tacking devices (think lojack) and how they would effect the workings of the computer - I'm sure there must be some sort of device like it out there - but the chances of a college prof using something of that sort are about nil.
I'm not particularly concerned about the computer. But the thief, who thought he was only stealing an exam, is presently - we think - is probably still in possession of three kinds of data, any one of which can send this man, this young boy, actually, to federal prison. Not a good place for a young boy to be.
First of all - anyone who is in college, is old enough to be considered a "young man" or "young woman" not a "young boy" or "young girl" - sorry, but they are adults now, not babies. And once again, we have another assumption.... the gender of the thief. Unless he knows who stole his computer - why is he assuming it's a man? Sounds like he's a male chauvanist to me... I think NOW should be denouncing this professor as insensitive!
You are in possession of data from a hundred million dollar trial, sponsored by the NIH, for which I'm a consultant. This involves some of the largest companies on the planet, the NIH investigates these things through the FBI, they have been notified about this problem.
You are in possession of trade secrets from a Fortune 1000 biotech company, the largest one in the country, which I consult for. The Federal Trade Communication is very interested in this. Federal Marshals are the people who handle that.
You are in possession of proprietary data from a pre-public company planning an IPO. The Securities and Exchange Commission is very interested in this and I don't even know what branch of law enforcement they use.
And after the opening idiocies - he continues to compound it by continuing to talk...
If the above 3 paragraphs are true - in other words, if this professor had all of this information on his computer AND did not have it encrypted to keep it private, then he is guilty of gross negligence. And each company he has been dealing with, should immediately terminate any business relationship with him! Just the fact that laptops can be so very easily stolen means that any sensitive data should be encrypted for protection. There are a number of progams out there that allow people to do this - so if he didn't have any sort of protection for this "highly sensitive and very expensive" data - he should NOT have kept it on his laptop.
The next problem with the above statements.... if true, you have now given a real data thief a good reason to get hold of this laptop. Now you've yelled from the rooftops that the value of the laptop is far in excess of the hardware one would acquire for personal use or the test data that might up one grade in this class. It would be like standing up in front of the class and announcing that the thief who stole your briefcase - also took a million dollars in diamonds with it and they better give it back before the police come knocking on the door. Yeah, pretty stupid.
And he's invoking all kinds of law enforcement agency bogey men. FBI, Federal Marshals, and whoever else might take an interest. It would be nice if we could actually get these law enforcement people to sweep in and go after the thief... just think what a deterent that would be to laptop theft. But, the sad fact is, these law enforcement offices are so completely overwhelmed by computer crime and lack of personel to handle it - what this professor would very likely get by way of response is... "call us if you figure out that the thief is actually selling the data or making it public" - then, if you can prove the dollar amounts that are at stake are large enough... we'll try to fit you in. The way most large companies handle data theft is - they employ a private company such as Pinkerton's who do the investigative work, put it all nicely together into a case and present the end result to the FBI for action. There is just too much crime - and not enough time.
Your academic career is about to come to an end. You are facing very serious charges, with a probability of very serious time. At this point, there's very little that anybody can do for you. One thing that you can do for yourself is to somehow prove that the integrity of the data which you possess has not been corrupted or copied.
Ironically, I am the only person on the planet that can come to your aid, because I am the only person that can tell whether the data that was on that computer are still on that computer. You will have to find a way of hoping that if you've copied anything that you can prove you only have one copy of whatever was made.
Yeah, he's the ONLY one who can help... gosh what a guy. It's amazing how he can just tell what data was on his computer. He just knows... all that data... all the millions of dollars worth - and he can tell whether or not it's corrupted. As I sincerely doubt (this belief stemming from the rest of his ravings) that he's ever heard of Tripwire - a data integrity checker... I wonder how he's going to verify that the files are complete and uncorrupted. Just having a list won't do it - how would he know that data in the file hadn't been changed? As for copies of data - well, sorry but there's no way to prove copies have or haven't been made - no way at all, so it's silly to even bring it up.
I am tied up all this afternoon; I am out of town all of next week. You have until 11:55 to return the computer, and whatever copies you've made, to my office, because I'm the only hope you've got of staying out of deeper trouble than you or any student I've ever known has ever been in.
I apologise to the rest of you for having to bring up this distasteful matter, but I will point out that we have a partial image of this person, we have two eyewitnesses, with the transponder data we're going to get this person."
Okay let's finish this up. I love the deadline thing. The "I'm the only hope" part is good too. Makes you feel all nicely scared for the poor thief to think that this guy is gonna help. But you have to love the very last paragraph... if they have eyewitnesses - TWO of them! And the supposed transponder and a "partial image". Then why aren't they detaining the thief right there and then in class. They must know who it is (after all the eyewitnesses aren't eyewitnesses unless they can actually identify the thief!). Since he's making this announcement and not detaining anyone - then one concludes he's just blowing smoke.
In conclusion I would say - if you know nothing about computers except how to turn them on - don't make threats involving them and their use. You just end up looking stupid. And just like they tell parents of small children - don't make threats you can't enforce - you will only lose the respect of the child. In this case, anyone with half a thimble full of computer knowledge is laughing hysterically and waiting for him to get his next laptop.
UPDATE: Since it appears that there are some who can't quite figure this out for themselves, I suppose I have to state the bleeding obvious... the thief was WRONG to take the laptop - have we got that? That has NEVER been in question. He or She if caught should most certainly be punished - expelled from the school at the very least. What I object to is the professor's grandstanding in the matter. It was a ridiculous speech all around. What the thief did and what the professor followed up with are mutually exclusive. Just because I think the professor was idiotic sounding in his diatribe - in no way mitigates what the thief did. I hope that is now clear to all those who seem to think that criticizing the professor is endorsing the laptop theft. How amazing that I even had to write this paragraph!

In recent years, the enduring legacies of the original people of the Los Angeles basin, referred to as the Tongva or Gabrielinos,[1] have become more and more apparent in the landscape of the region. Right behind L.A.'s world-famous Hollywood sign lies Cahuenga (or Kawenga) Peak, the Tongva's "place in the mountains." People can hike the Gabrielino Trail in Angeles National Forest, just north of El Monte, and up Tongva Peak[2] in the Verdugo Mountains, north of LA; go to public parks named Tongva Park in Santa Monica[3]; go to a Tongva Memorial Garden at Loyola Marymount University;[4] and see the San Gabriel mountains on a daily basis. These markers of indigenous heritage are important … [Read more...]

A Truth that Had to be Told: Uncovering the History of School Segregation in El Monte
In memory of Olga Gutiérrez, 1937-2016 The professor started talking about segregation in the South, of blacks, of Brown v. Board of Education … so after class I went up to the professor, and I said, "Hey professor, were you aware of the segregation of the Mexican-American students all over the Southwest, including California?"… He said, "I know nothing about it."[1] Olga Gutiérrez, a Mexican-American teacher and activist in El Monte, California, was working on a Master's degree at California State University, Los Angeles. It was 1980, 26 years after the Supreme Court had ruled that segregation, or the policy of dividing children into different schools on the basis of race, was illegal in … [Read more...]
From Small Farming to Urban Agriculture: El Monte and Subsistence Homesteading
"People want to get outdoors ... and the small farms home gives them that opportunity," Ross H. Gast told an audience of San Diegans in 1933. "It is a good home in good and bad times and a place to save earnings with an incidental production of food supply." The writer--an editor at the Los Angeles Times' Farm and Garden Magazine and El Monte resident--had long advocated for the "small farm lifestyle," a return-to-the-land movement that stretched back to the turn of the century. "The way I see it, the small farm home is not just a piece of property but a mode of living, one that is being adopted generally in Southern California," he noted. Through Gast and others, the Los Angeles Times had … [Read more...]
Who Were the Monte Boys?
"Law And Order Monte Boys Style" is the title of a chapter in one of the more recent histories of El Monte. Those six words capture the popular stories associated with the men of the nineteenth-century township. Any written history of Los Angeles County has to at least mention the Monte boys. Their involvement with "the repression of crime" is characterized variously as the work of righteous citizens, frontier-savvy former Texas Rangers, or all-too-eager vigilantes. From the 1850s through the 1870s and perhaps beyond, if there were bandits to be caught, murderers to be punished, or horse thieves to be hanged in the county, the men from Monte seemed always to be on the scene. Their … [Read more...]
The El Monte Berry Strike of 1933
In May 1933, Hicks camp was nearing full capacity. More than 1,500 migrant workers were settling down to take part in the berry harvest, which would begin in May and last through August. Hick's camp was, like the surrounding neighborhoods of Medina Court and Hays Camp, a migrant labor camp set up to house the families who worked on the local fields. Men, women, and children would quickly assemble homes of cardboard and repurposed box-carts on a non-descript tract of land that lacked paved roads or basic plumbing. Hick's camp was not envisioned as a permanent neighborhood, but became one as people settled down to build a home and establish a local culture. Although by the time of the berry … [Read more...]
Mapping Community Narratives in El Monte and South El Monte
Dear Internet: Those of us who have been working on East of East have had a long two weeks. With a whirlwind of events and interviews we have not always had enough time to step back and think about the work before us. In this concluding entry on the 2015 SEMAP I would like to offer a few thoughts on East of East and those that have made the project possible. History and activism go together. On our last day of SEMAP, we did a collaborative event with the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA). At this event we collected oral histories, including with Lilian Rey whose EM/SEM Emergency Recourses Association has provided relief for the poor for decades. Local … [Read more...]
¡La Lucha Continua! Gloria Arellanes and the Making of a Chicano Movement in El Monte and Beyond
"So we moved here to El Monte, and I remember all the neighbors were white," recalled Gloria Arellanes in a 2011 interview conducted by the UCLA Library Center for Oral History Research.[1] "Eventually white flight came about and they started moving out to the Covina area, San Bernardino area." This was extremely different from East Los Angeles, where she was born in 1941. Growing up in El Monte was not easy, she explained. Unlike East Los Angeles, where ethnic solidarity and family had sheltered her, in El Monte, discrimination and racism were omnipresent. It was not uncommon for her to hear disparaging comments about Mexicans: "that we were lazy…We're dirty. In those days…[Y]ou couldn't … [Read more...]
Pain and Pride: Five Rapid-Fire Reflections on a Big Weekend of "History in Action"
(This post is part of our ongoing attempt to "live-blog" our participation in community-based history in South El Monte and El Monte. For an overview of this effort, click here, and for our first dispatch, click here). If you're still feeling it on Wednesday morning, it was probably a heckuva weekend. I'm sitting in the El Monte Public Library, where I'm only just beginning to process the whirlwind of community history that took place here and in South El Monte on Saturday and Sunday. The weekend consisted of two events organized by the South El Monte Arts Posse (SEMAP): "City of Achievement," which focused on the city of South El Monte and was hosted by the city's Senior Center, and … [Read more...]
East of East: Mapping Community Narratives at Mountain View H.S.
Hello Everyone on the Internet! In continuing our live-blog on History in Action, here is the second of our entries on "East of East: Mapping Community Narratives in El Monte & South El Monte". Yesterday, we held our first event at Mountain View High School on the east side of El Monte California. I gave a talk and then a discussion with students studying journalism. Michael Weller teaches journalism, his students this year have been involved in a yearlong collaboration with KCET Departures. With the help of Ruby Fregoza, students from five different schools in El Monte and South El Monte have learned to become student-journalists and citizen activists.

Live-Blogging Public History, or How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Collaboration

A Curious Capital
Phnom Penh Travel Blog› entry 10 of 20 › view all entries
Phnom Penh is full of contradictions. Cambodia is a monarchy and nominally democratic. In the centre, the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda complex has been beautifully restored and is busy with tourists - we all peer over the wall into the private areas. The waterfront is getting a major make-over. The National Assembly building is new and grand. Many Wats (Buddhist shrines/ monasteries) are having major works. While there are no traffic/ bike jams on Saigon levels, the main roads are busy. There are relatively a lot more cars and far fewer motorbikes than Saigon, and of the cars at least 50% are very modern SUVs. We passed a showroom where a Lexus GX470 was on sale for US$44,800. (Average annual salary said to be US$500pa) There are dozens of good quality cafes and restaurants, more expensive than in Vietnam and where you pay in US$. They seem mainly frequented by westerners, but there are locals too. In the area around our hotel there are dozens of houses and apartments surrounded by fences and razor wire. There's nothing like the Saigon (or Hanoi) shops. But in other parts of the city the poverty strikes you. Dilapidated buildings, rubbish in the street, children not in school, kids barefoot (not many, true) , idle teenagers just hanging about and being moved on by the police.
We "did"various sights. Although the National Museum had been looted in the '70s and left to rot until the 1990s, it is now restored and has some fine carvings from Angkor. Wat Phnom, on a hillock, is still very active. Offerings of food are made and left in front of the Buddha with a luminous flashing halo. Also offered are lotus flowers whose petals have been folded and little birds are bought to be released for good luck. It's said they fly back to their cages. The fortune teller offers a palm leaf book which the supplicant places on her head (we only saw women), and marks an unseen page with a pin. The fortune teller reads the page and the fortune. But if it's not what she wants, the woman has another go. The colonial GPO lists the days for foreign mail despatch - Monday and Wednesday for England. Off to the calm of the prestige Le Royale Hotel for late morning coffee. Afternoon tea there - sandwiches, scones, cakes, is $15. Then after lunch to Lucky Supermarket where they sell all sorts of imported goodies for the expats and the rich. A visit to the very different Russian Market - like a souk, where tourists bargain for good stuff and tat, locals have clothes made and buy their motor cycle spares - dozens of stalls selling every imaginable bit.
Then the tuk tuk driver says , "Go to Killing Fields and Torture Museum?"and you recall the horrendous history of the country. In the late 70s Cambodia under Pol Pot, then the Vietnamese invasion of the 80s, and finally a less than ideal UN mission in the 90s. It's amazing there's a city at all.

Tips from Social Security to prepare for your disability interview
When a person becomes disabled, it can be a very stressful time in their life. There are many questions and unknowns when you have to transition out of the workforce due to medical issues. While an employer may offer short or long-term disability, most people faced with a disability will file for benefits with Social Security. If you're facing life with a disability and don't know where to start, we encourage you to visit our website at www.socialsecurity.gov/disabilityssi. You can apply for benefits on our website; it's the most convenient way.
When applying for benefits, you should be prepared to answer a number of questions including: • When your conditions became disabling: • Dates you last worked; • The names, addresses, phone numbers, and dates of visits to your doctors; • The names of medications that you take and medical tests you've had; and • Marital information. In addition, if you plan on applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability payments, for people with low income who haven't paid enough in Social Security taxes to be covered, we will ask you questions about: • Your current living arrangement, including who lives there and household expenses; • All sources of income for you and your spouse, if applicable; and • The amount of your resources, including bank account balances, vehicles, and other investments. You can view our disability starter kit at www.socialsecurity.gov/disability/disability_starter_kits.htm. Remember, we are there when you might be faced with one of the hardest obstacles of your life. Social Security helps secure today and tomorrow with critical benefits for people with severe disabilities, not just during retirement. Learn more at www.socialsecurity.gov.
Questions & Answers
Question: I'm applying for disability benefits. Do I automatically receive Medicare benefits if I'm approved for disability benefits?
Answer: You will receive Medicare after you receive disability benefits for 24 months. When you become eligible for disability benefits, we will automatically enroll you in Medicare. We start counting the 24 months from the month you were entitled to receive disability, not the month when you received your first payment. Special rules apply to people with permanent kidney failure and those with "Lou Gehrig's Disease" (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).

Fullback Cole Huntley (6-0, 253, 4.8) from Danville (Calif.) San Ramon Valley is getting serious recruiting attention for his skills in two sports. The two sports are football and rugby.
Huntley has offers from Cal and UCLA for his skills on the rugby pitch. He is being looked at by Boston College, Colorado, Stanford, Washington, UC-Davis and Brown for football.
Huntley had a very busy summer.
Article Continues Below
"I was contacted in early June by Coach Tim Lappano the offensive coordinator at Washington and he invited me to Washington's camp," Huntley said. "I had a great time at the camp and several coaches worked out with me one-on-one.
"Coach Lappano said they really like my physicality and athleticism and he really wants me at Washington. I had a chance to see their facilities, meet several coaches and tour the campus, it was awesome."
"Until the Washington visit, Stanford and Boston College had shown the most interest," Huntley said. Coach Ron Lynn at Stanford has come by San Ramon Valley high school several times to watch me workout and I attended Stanford's summer camp and met with several Stanford coaches."
"I was invited by Coach Mike Siravo to Boston Colleges' one day "Top Prospect" camp in June and had a great time," Huntley said. "I was one of sixteen players in the top prospect section of BC'S camp on June 18 and there were over 40 coaches from other colleges at the BC camp."
"I was at UC Davis' football camp last week and a lot of spent time with (running backs) Coach (Greg) Chapla, and some one-on-one time (recruiting) Coach (Steve) Bronzan and Head Coach (Bob) Biggs," Huntley said. "I enjoyed the camp and like all of the coaches. I very familiar with Davis because my sister plays on the UC Davis soccer team."
"My goal is to narrow down which colleges seem like a good fit this summer," Huntley said. "Right now I have offers from Cal and UCLA for rugby and positive experiences and strong interest from Washington, Stanford, Boston College and UC Davis for football."
The Northern Californian athlete is a hard worker in and out of the weight room. He has been timed in the pro shuttle at 4.45. He maxes out on the bench at 355. He reps 185-pounds, 30 times and 225-pounds, 18 times. His squat is 485 and his power clean is 275.

Cappuccino and latte the favourite espresso
In a recent online poll, Breville facebook fans confirmed that cappuccinos and lattes are their most popular style of espresso.
To make these espresso drinks at home, Phil McKnight, Breville's coffee specialist and Australian Barista Championship judge, advises using freshly roasted beans and grinding them just before brewing - the way good cafes do. With more than 10 years experience as a cafe owner, barista and now involved in coffee machine development and training, McKnight knows how to make an outstanding coffee.
"Australia has some of the best roasted coffee in the world," comments McKnight. "For those grinding coffee at home I suggest buying the best quality conical burr grinder they can afford - preferably one with dose control.
"If they're also looking for a new domestic espresso machine a product with commercial technologies should be top of the list. These features include low pressure pre-infusion and digital control to regulate temperature for good thermal stability. These features are key elements in extracting great espresso," recommends McKnight.
With its global reputation as a leading domestic espresso machine manufacturer – and sponsor of the 2012 World Barista Championships in Vienna, Austria, Breville has made it possible to produce cafe quality coffee at home with the launch of the Dual Boiler last year, and the new Infuser (BES840) espresso machine.
By migrating patented technology from the premium Dual Boiler, the Infuser starts with a steady low pressure pre-infusion before full pump pressure, to gently expand the grinds for an even extraction delivering a more balanced flavour. The espresso pressure gauge allows extraction pressure to be monitored.
Electronic PID control improves temperature stability and a 54mm wide group head helps draw even, balanced flavours in each cup. The 1700W high power thermo-coil delivers fast heat up, high pressure steam for improved milk texturing and a faster transition from espresso to steam.
Breville InfuserTM espresso machine (BES840) $549 rrp
Breville enquiries: 1300 139 798
On May 22 Breville posted a question on its facebook page - 'What style of coffee is your favourite?'. Response options included cappuccino, latte, flat white, ristretto and macchiato. The poll received 76 responses.

Hello, PureOverclock has published our latest review, it is of the MSI Z87i
Gaming AC Mini ITX motherboard.
Review Title: MSI Z87i Gaming AC Mini ITX Review ( -at -) PureOverclock
Review URL:
Preview Image:
"Mini ITX has seen an explosion in popularity over the last few years. HTPC
systems can double as a game system or a really small LAN PC, because they
now packed the same GPU power as a full sized system. Some board
manufacturers like MSI saw an opportunity to fill in a gap by offering
features usually reserved for larger boards in the smaller form factor. We
have a chance to look into the newest member of the Gaming series, the MSI
Z87i Gaming AC mini ITX board. MSI looks to bring serious Gaming and
Overclocking to even the smallest of systems."
Thank you for the consideration in publishing a link to our review.

U.S. Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Study Comparing the Performance fo Onyx(EVOH) and TRUFILL® (n-BCA)in Presurgical Embolization of Brain Arteriovenous Malformations (BAVMs)
Recent advances in the endovascular treatment of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) have
increased the number of patients with brain AVMs for whom embolization therapy may be
appropriate. The permanency of obliterated nidi and occurrence of procedural complications
are thought to be at least partially influenced by the characteristics of the material used,
with liquid agents more likely to reach and occlude the AVM nidus compared to particulate
embolic agents.
The only liquid embolic agent approved in the U.S. for the presurgical embolization of AVMs
is TRUFILL®. TRUFILL n-butyl cyanoacrylate (n-BCA) is a liquid adhesive that polymerizes
into a solid material upon contact with blood fluids or tissue, via an anionic mechanism.
TRUFILL Ethiodized Oil is mixed into the n-BCA monomer as a radiopaque polymerizing
retardant. TRUFILL Tantalum Powder may also be added for radiopacity. The TRUFILL n-BCA
Liquid Embolic System received U.S. FDA premarket approval on September 25, 2000 (P990040)
for use in the embolization of cerebral AVMs, when presurgical devascularization is desired.
Onyx™ is a non-adhesive liquid embolic agent comprised of ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH)
copolymer dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and of micronized tantalum powder. Onyx
precipitates into a solid on contact with blood fluids, due to rapid diffusion of the DMSO
solvent. The Onyx Liquid Embolic System received the European "CE mark" in July 1999, and
has been available outside of the U.S. since September 1999 for use in the embolization of
The purpose of this randomized-controlled study is to obtain prospective clinical data on
the performance of Onyx (investigational device) and TRUFILL (control device) in the
presurgical embolization of brain AVMs. Device safety will be assessed by comparing overall
and device-related morbidity and mortality. The primary efficacy endpoint is the
angiographic reduction in AVM size (volume) achieved. The objective is to demonstrate that
Onyx is no worse than TRUFILL within a specified clinical tolerance. Study results will be
used to support a premarket approval application for Onyx in the presurgical embolization of
brain AVMs.
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Angiographic reduction in AVM size (volume) of 50% or greater, where angiographic size reduction is defined as the change from the original AVM size prior to any embolization procedure, to the AVM size after the last embolization.
Post final embolization

The Minnesota Zoo's oldest tiger, named Molniy, has passed away. He was 16 years old.
Molniy came to the Minnesota Zoo in 2002 from the Detroit Zoo. The Zoo announced Wednesday that the Amur tiger had surpassed the expected lifespan of 10 to 15 years. He died Sunday after being treated for various age-related conditions including arthritis.
"Molniy was a favorite among his zookeepers," said Northern Trail Curator, Diana Weinhardt. "He will be greatly missed by all the staff who worked with him in the 14 years he was here."
The Zoo currently cares for three other tigers: four-year-olds Sundari, who is Molniy's offspring, and Patrice, and six-year-old Putin.
According to the Minnesota Zoo, the largest of all cats and one of six remaining tiger subspecies, the Amur tiger is a top predator of far eastern Asia. Amur tigers are carnivores, eating mostly large mammals such as deer and wild boar. Conservation efforts help protect these endangered animals from the persistent threats of poaching and habitat loss.

ADDICTED TO YOU: A Billionaire Romance (Part One) by Glenna Sinclair
2015ContemporaryRomance December 24, 2015 admin
My brother Matt promised to take me away from this nightmare of a place where the memory of my ugly past never fades away. He said he just needed time. But a different kind of man shows up in my small town looking for me.
Billionaire Levi Morgan is alive because my brother took a bullet for him. He's here to honor a promise he made to Matt. To find me and save me.
He was expecting to find a little girl. But nope, I'm not little anymore. I have big breasts, big behind and a big appetite for sex.
Levi's supposed to be my saving grace. But as we spend more time together, I realize I cannot be saved.
He's become my new addiction.
And I am his.
"Do you want me?" he asked.
"I thought you didn't want to do this anymore," I said, my voice small.
"It's too late," Levi said. He took my hand and lifted it to his lips, kissing it softly before turning it over, kissing my palm, the translucent skin of my wrist.
"Too late to stop," he said, scraping his teeth along my neck, making me moan. "I think I'm getting addicted to you, Meagan, and it scares the shit out of me, but I just can't stop."
His kisses moved down between my breasts, around my bellybutton, lower, lower still, and I didn't care. I didn't want him to stop.
He was addicted to this? Fine. That made two of us.
