JOHN DAY, Ore. (AP) -- Critics have launched a campaign against the federal government's plan to reduce a herd of wild horses in the mountains of Eastern Oregon.
The 250 mustangs in the Murderers Creek herd near John Day in Grant County could be reduced in roundups over the next decade to 50 to 140.
Critics have sent more than 6,000 emails and letters to object, The Oregonian newspaper (http://bit.ly/T2KIoi) reports.
"This is just one example of the government reducing a wild horse herd to a dangerously low number of animals, which jeopardizes the long-term genetic health of the herd," said Suzanne Roy of the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign.
Roy, who lives in Hillsborough, N.C., describes the mustangs as "timber horses."
"The blood of those wild horses represents the history of the West," she said.
Rob Sharp, a Bureau of Land Management spokesman in Oregon, said the herd doubles in number every four to five years and isn't genetically distinctive.
At its current size, the herd threatens wildlife habitat and salmon-steelhead streams, he said.
The goal of federal wild horse managers is to allocate that rangeland to elk, deer, domestic cattle and other species, in addition to the mustangs, he said.
Roy advocates using fertility drugs to control the horse populations.
The drug will be part of the plan for the Murderers Creek herd, but it's too short-lived to eliminate rounding up and holding wild horses, said Tom Gorey, a bureau spokesman in Washington, D.C.
The herd is part of a national struggle over wild horses on federal land.
The federal government has rounded up thousands. Both sides agree there are too many in holding corrals or pastures, and federal fiscal watchdogs say the cost isn't sustainable. Meanwhile, wild horse adoptions from the agency are falling off.
Roy said she worries BLM's end game might be to consign its excess wild horses to slaughter.
The federal agency has permission to do that, but Gorey said the option isn't in the cards: "Congress doesn't want us to exercise that authority," he said.

Kids Room Decorating Tips From Martha Stewart Living
Making Over the Kids' Rooms: Martha Stewart Living's Kevin Sharkey Tells Us How
You Don't Have to Wallpaper a Room in Toy Soldiers
There's been a quite a revolution in the world of kids' room design. Simply stenciling a lil cartoon character on the wall and throwing some pastel sheets on a twin bed doesn't quite cut it anymore. Kevin Sharkey, the executive editorial director of decorating for Martha Stewart Living — and the uncle of 4-year-old and 18-month-old boys, welcomes the changes.
"First and foremost, the concept is now a big deal. So you're seeing merchandise available for [kids' rooms]. It's not like you have to search out things to put in a kids room now. There's a lot of things on the market. [And] they seem much more sophisticated than I would have imagined. If you look at the Pottery Barn Kids thing, that would have been my dorm room!"
The decorating guru (who happens to live just below Martha Stewart's granddaughter) took some time out to talk with me about the state of children's rooms and the biggest trends he's seeing. Check it out!

eSarcasm, The Web Site That Is Alternately All Things To All People and Nothing to No One ™, admits that it has perpetrated a hoax upon the world. Co-founder Dan Tynan did not actually leave the blog, despite his needlessly melodramatic public resignation one week ago.
It was all a carefully planned hoax designed to drive traffic to our annual eRupt Conference, held at the Holiday Inn's Pocahontas Room in beautiful Alachua, Florida.
We invested significant coin in that conference. We bought a six-foot deli sandwich and an entire case of Seagrams Tahitian Sunset Wine Coolers for this thing, and we'd have been totally screwed if nobody else showed up.
We apologize to any readers who were fooled, flummoxed, bewitched, bamboozled or deeply aroused by the hoax.

Ok, so October 9, 2018 came and went, and the Department of Labor hasn't knocked down your door with notices that you are non-compliant with New York's State's new sexual harassment laws. Time to breath easy, right? Wrong! While the State has continually vacillated in their typical fashion, finally extending the full training compliance deadline to October 9, 2019. However, effective October 9, 2018, all New York State employers were still required to adopt written sexual harassment prevention policies and institute annual anti-harassment training for employees. Confusing right? After issuing draft documents in August, the State has now issued final model policy and training documents, as well as FAQs and additional guidance on the new laws. More information can also be found on the State's website.
The State has also issued an "Employer Toolkit" which provides an overview of the final policy and training materials and practical guidance for employers, which can be found here.
In order for your business to be fully compliant, it is required to adopt and distribute to employees written sexual harassment prevention policies that are compliant with the new law by October 9, 2018. To satisfy this obligation, employers may (1) adopt the State's model sexual harassment policy and complaint form, or (2) implement their own policy and complaint form that equals or exceeds the minimum standards provided under the statute consistent with guidance issued by the State.
In response to a number of comments submitted on the draft policy and FAQs issued in August, the State made the following notable changes to the final documents issued on October 1:
The final changes also state that if an employer has already established investigative procedures that are similar to those provided in the State model (in that they provide for a timely and confidential investigation of complaints in a matter that ensures due process for all parties), the employer need not expressly adopt the investigative procedure set forth in the State model. That said, employers must nevertheless outline their investigative procedures in their policy document.
With regard to distribution of the policy, the FAQs state that a signed acknowledgment of receipt is not required, but that employers are "encouraged" to obtain one from employees. Employers must provide employees with a copy of the policy in writing or electronically, and if made available electronically, employees must be able to print a copy for their records.
We at The Van De Water Law Firm, P.C. are ready to help you navigate these murky waters to make certain your business stands in full compliance with the ever-changing sexual harassment training policy and training requirements. Call us for a free consultation on this, and any other legal issue affecting your business.

Rangers show support after Cruz's emotional apology
'We love him': Teammates want suspended star back if they make playoffs
ANAHEIM -- Rangers players made it clear on Monday afternoon: If they make the playoffs, they want suspended outfielder Nelson Cruz with them.
"It's a non-factor in my eyes ... we'll welcome him back," second baseman Ian Kinsler said.
"Totally welcome," reliever Joe Nathan said.
"He has been an incredible teammate, he's one of my favorite teammates," outfielder David Murphy said. "Yes, he made a mistake. We don't agree with what he did, but we all make mistakes. It's not hard to say, we're going to stand behind him. I can only imagine what he's going through. It has to be a difficult time for him and his family. But we all love him and will continue to support him."
Murphy was the first one to speak after Cruz addressed the team in an emotionally charged meeting Monday afternoon. Cruz spoke to his teammates after Major League Baseball announced that he had been suspended 50 games for violations of the Basic Agreement and its Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment policy.
Cruz explained to his teammates what happened and apologized for his actions. When he was finished, other players spoke up in support. Murphy spoke of Cruz's character and what he has meant to the Rangers. Others echoed similar sentiments.
"That's the love we have inside our clubhouse," manager Ron Washington said. "I wouldn't expect it any other way. This club is uniquely constructed because of the love they have for each other and the game of baseball."
"It was a really emotional talk," shortstop Elvis Andrus said. "He's part of our family. I've known him since he has been here. He's always had my back and talked to me during bad times. We love him. It was tough as a man to stand up in front of everybody and talk for real. You can see how tough it is for him and his family.
"At that moment, you're not a player, you're a human being. Nobody is perfect and nobody has the power to judge. The main thing is to support him. I love him like a brother."
Said catcher A.J. Pierzynski, "People around here really respect Nellie for the way he goes about his business. He was very remorseful and sad. He did not make excuses. He said he made a mistake. We're all men here. We all have to live with the consequences. It's a shame it happened, but we'll get through it."
Washington said no players expressed any anger directed at Cruz for being suspended. There was also no anger expressed over Cruz deciding not to appeal the suspension. If Cruz had filed an appeal, he would have still been able to play until the case was heard by an arbitrator.
"I read or heard something about us being angry," pitcher Derek Holland said. "That's not true. We love the guy. That's got to stop. We love him and we're behind him."
"I'm not angry with him at all, he's a good friend," outfielder Craig Gentry said. "Everybody makes mistakes. It's just one of those things. I feel sorry for him because he definitely wants to play and be a part of this ballclub."
Cruz is eligible to be on the postseason roster if the Rangers make the playoffs. General manager Jon Daniels said one factor in making that decision is how Cruz is accepted by his teammates. The Giants didn't bring All-Star Game MVP Melky Cabrera back for the playoffs last year after he was suspended for 50 games.
The Rangers feel differently about Cruz.
"It's disappointing but we all love Nellie," Kinsler said. "But at the same time we all love Nellie and we're going to support him through this. He's going to serve his suspension and we'll welcome him back."
MLB on Monday suspended 13 players as a result of the league's Biogenesis investigation. Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez received the stiffest penalty -- a 211-game ban without pay through the end of the 2014 regular season. Rodriguez, 38, has appealed the suspension, which is to begin Thursday. His case will be heard by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz.
Rodriguez's discipline, MLB said in its written announcement, is based on his use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including testosterone and human growth hormone, over the course of multiple years. Rodriguez's discipline under the basic agreement is for attempting to cover up his violations of the program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to "obstruct and frustrate" the investigation.
Cruz was among those who accepted their 50-game suspensions. The others were Tigers shortstop Jhonny Peralta, Mariners catcher Jesus Montero, Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera, Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli, Phillies reliever Antonio Bastardo and recently demoted Mets utility man Jordany Valdespin. Minor Leaguers Fernando Martinez, Jordan Norberto, Fautino De Los Santos, Cesar Puello and Sergio Escalona were also suspended.
Cruz is hitting .269 and leading the club with 27 home runs and 76 RBIs. With him gone, the Rangers called up outfielders Engel Beltre and Joey Butler from Triple-A while designating infielder Adam Rosales for assignment. Murphy took Cruz's spot in right field on Monday night with Beltre starting in left field. Butler will see playing time against left-handers, but the Rangers, who entered Monday trailing the A's by 2 1/2 games in the American League West, know their offense will not be the same without Cruz.
"We realize we are going to miss him and we understand that, but at the same time we have a job to do," Nathan said. "We are playing good baseball right now and we got to do what we've been talking about and put this behind us, let the schedule play out."

A year on, Nike's Flyknit technology (a second skin, if you will) continues to permeate the company's running shoe line. Today Nike announced the Flyknit Lunar1+, an ultra lightweight, all-purpose runner that combines a Flyknit upper with a cushy Lunarlon bottom.
By combining the two technologies, the Flyknit Lunar1+ is probably the most responsive and comfortable running shoe. See, the Flywire tech in the upper sole—the brightly colored bits and pieces—flexes and tightens to accommodate the natural movements of the foot without all the added material that may cause friction found in other shoes. The amount of pressure from each foot strike is dispersed along the whole of the Lunarlon bottom for greater response and a pillow-like ride. The shoe's platform is said to be neutral, so it'll probably work for any type of runner. For anyone that pronates, like me, you'll probably want to head to a runner's shop to get properly fitted.
And, according to Nike, the use of Flyknit tech cuts down on waste by about 80 percent compared to other running shoes in the line and makes it even more breathable for those of you whose feet sweat a lot. The Flyknit Lunar1+ drop next month in a variety of colorways. No word on price. [Nike]

Record number of employers to participate in spring engineering career fair
Record number of employers to participate in spring engineering career fair
Record number of employers to participate in spring engineering career fair
A record number of companies, agencies, and organizations seeking talented graduates for full-time employment and current students for co-op and internship positions will participate in the Feb. 5 College of Engineering Career Fair.
More than 70 employers from Iowa and many other U.S. locations will staff their exhibits from 2-6 p.m. in the Main Lounge of the Iowa Memorial Union. More than 700 students are expected to attend the fair.
An indicator that firms and agencies are increasing their staffing in areas of engineering, technology, and science to meet expansion objectives in a broad cross-section of industries, the Spring Engineering Career Fair at the UI has consistently grown in recent years.
Based on employer projections, positions are available in every engineering major in which the college specializes—biomedical, chemical and biochemical, civil and environmental, electrical and computer, and mechanical and industrial. The fair also is open to UI students who major in computer science.

WUD Art is excited to present "Threads, Folds, Rabbit Holes: Complex Webs of Making", an exhibition by Kristy Deetz, located in Porter Butts Gallery at Memorial Union. Please join us for the opening reception of "Threads, Folds, Rabbit Holes" on Friday, February 16th from 6-8pm! Light refreshments will be served.
"Threads, Folds, Rabbit Holes: Complex Webs of Making" is a fascinating exhibition that features a shape-shifting Rabbit. As Deetz states, "this collection mixes acrylic painting, digital patterns printed on silk fabric (with acrylic painting, image transfers, and embroidery), and industrial jacquard weavings made from digital images of paintings to supply hybrid works that good-humoredly deconstruct imagery from pop, outsider, and high culture to create new 'spaces' of meaning. The 'paintings' use humor, visual puns, symbols, art-historical allusions, and cultural collisions to question style and pictorial construction."
"Threads, Folds, Rabbit Holes: Complex Webs of Making" by Kristy Deetz will be showing from February 16th through April 6th, 2018.

Famous Sichuan: Fine Chinese Food in Chinatown Without the Wait
Famous Sichuan
10 Pell Street, New York NY 10013 (just west of Bowery; map); 212-233-3888; famoussichuan.com
Service: Extremely attentive, particularly when there are precious few diners in the place.
Setting: Typical Chinatown decor, television tuned to one of the Chinese channels, fish tank and low ceilings.
Compare It To: Grand Sichuan International on Canal and Szechuan Gourmet
Must-Haves: General Tso's Bean Curd, Sauteed String Beans...
Cost: Less than $25 a person for dinner and lunch on the weekends, $5.50 for lunch on weekdays
Grade: B+
Here's the question I'm asked at cocktail parties just about as much as "what's your favorite restaurant?": Where can we eat in (Manhattan's) Chinatown without waiting in line?
Well, serious eaters, I have an answer for you: Famous Sichuan. It's a place that Robyn Lee's been going to since last November, and every time she goes she says there's never anybody in the place. I worry about good, moderately priced restaurants going out of business (we need every last one of them), so I went for the ridiculously cheap $5.50 lunch special both days I was wandering around Chinatown during my two-day tour of jury duty.
I tried four first-rate dishes at that point, and I vowed to return with multiple serious eaters in tow.
What did we find? An answer to one of the questions above, serious Sichuan food served to an almost completely empty dining room.
We had some serious Sichuan restaurant staples:
Sauteed string beans with Yibin Yacai MInced Pork ($8.95) is a superior version of the classic dry-sauteed string beans. They were crunchy and just charred enough with minced pork that ratcheted up the dish's porcine deliciousness.
Sauteed vermicelli with spicy minced pork ($9.95) is listed as one of the chef's specialties, with good reason. It's an incredibly satisfying homey Sichuan noodle dish with a modicum of heat. Sure, the vermicelli noodles could have been more al dente, but I couldn't stop eating them nonetheless.
Another dish that tested my serious diet resolve was the Chengdu double sauteed pork ($9.95). Thin, tender enough slices of pork streaked with plenty of seriously delicious fat, had a lovely, unexpected char, like they had been finished on a grill. You can get double-sauteed pork at a zillion places in various and sundry Chinatowns and out, but I haven't tasted one I liked more than this one.
A lamb dish, sauteed sliced lamb with Sichuan pickles and celery ($15.95) came as a composed salad on top of Chinese greens. The lamb was so powerful it practically baahed (it was definitely perilously close to mutton), and the dish also had what could only be described as the equivalent of Sichuan-style sun-dried tomatoes, with the Sichuan pickles standing in for their Italian counterpart.
Chichi Wang of our Nasty Bits and Seriously Asian columns, was one of the serious eaters at the restaurant, so it won't come as a surprise to all of you that we ordered duck's tongue in spicy capsicum ($15.95). Chichi's verdict: the duck's tongues were good, not great.
One of our summer interns Lingbo Li, who was born in the Liaoning Province and spent last summer in China (eating a lot of Sichuanese food), was also in the house. She requested diced rabbit with Sichuan sauce ($7.50) and ox tongue and tripe with chili sauce ($7.50), two classic Sichuan dishes. "The literal name of the ox tongue dish, fu qi fei pian, translates to husband wife sliced lung," she explained. She remembers eating it last summer in Chengdu in the Sichuan Province. "It's a classic Sichuanese cold appetizer." And in my opinion, it was great here. Even Chichi "Nasty Bits" Wang approved.
But did it pass Lingbo's authenticity test? "The spice on the ox tongue and tripe was good, and in general the Sichuan peppercorn on the dishes lends that right numbing-hot sensation. But they would have been swimming in more oil in China," she said.
As for the rabbit, it tasted like dry chicken breast still on the bone. "The rabbit meat they used isn't that great, but overall I was pleasantly surprised," our resident Sichuan food expert Lingbo said.
But the single best dish we tried was undoubtedly the least authentic. General Tso's bean curd ($8.95) was a miracle of a dish that should be a required menu item in every Sichuan restaurant. Cubes of crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside fried tofu are coated in a sticky sweet sauce. We could not stop eating them, and trust me, you won't be able to either.
Sorry, you can't get the General Tso's bean curd on the lunch special. Tough, cheapskates, spring for the $8.95. It functions as appetizer, main course, and dessert, all in crispy, sweet pillows of fried deliciousness.
So the next time someone asks me at a party where to eat in Chinatown without waiting in line, I will tell them Famous Sichuan. They need to go fast, because this restaurant needs and deserves serious eaters' patronage. And when you're seated immediately you can look out across the street at silly folks in line at Joe's Shanghai. Such a pity and so unnecessary with Famous Sichuan so nearby and empty.

About Cultus Lake
Although Chilliwack's early residents may have enjoyed visiting Cultus Lake for recreation, it was first popular with the Sto:lo First Nations people as a place for spiritual purposes. Around the 18th century, the Sto:lo felt that the Lake's special spiritual significance had lost it power and they added the additional Chinook word, "Cultus", which meant worthless.
Did You Know?
Cultus Lake is home to the Pygmy Sculpin (fish) which is found nowhere else in the world.
Cultus Lake Tourism
Cultus Lake is a provincial park and resort area that is approximately 1.5 hours outside Vancouver and 20 minutes from Chilliwack's downtown area. One million visitors visit the park each year, with significant tourism spin-offs for Chilliwack businesses. Check out tourist attractions and amenities at Cultus Lake Tourism.
Both private and government camping is accessible in the Park. Cultus Lake actually boasts of the largest private campground in western Canada.

(Hearing Assessment; Hearing Test; Audiology; Audiography)
Audiometry is a test that measures how well you can hear. An audiologist performs this test. An audiologist is a person trained to identify and help manage hearing problems.
|Inner Ear
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
What to Expect
Prior to Test
Your audiologist may ask you:
- When your hearing difficulty began
- If it affects one ear or both ears
- If you hear ringing in your ears
- If you have ever had pain or discomfort in your ears
- If there has been any recent drainage from your ears
- If you have ever had ear infections
- If you have ever had an ear injury
- If you have ever had ear surgery
- If you ever have dizziness
- If there is a family history of hearing loss
- If you are exposed to a lot of noise at work
- If you often ask people to repeat themselves
- If others have commented that your television is too loud or that you speak too loudly
- If it is hard for you to understand a conversation when you are in a large group or a noisy place
If your child is being tested, the audiologist may ask about:
- Difficulties with speech and language development
- Other developmental issues
- Difficulty in school
- Health history
- Family history of permanent childhood hearing loss
- Your child's responses to both familiar and unexpected sounds
Your audiologist will likely:
- Examine the outer ear for deformities
- Examine the ear canal and eardrum with an otoscope, which is a hand-held instrument that has a light and a magnifying lens
Description of Test
There are several types of audiometry, including:
For Adults and Older Children
Pure Tone Audiometry
This test usually takes place in a soundproof booth. You will put on headphones that are connected to an audiometer. This device sends sounds of different volumes and pitches to 1 ear at a time. You will be asked to respond each time you hear a sound. You may be asked to respond by raising your hand.
You may also be asked to wear a special instrument called a bone oscillator. It is worn behind each ear. The device sends sounds as vibrations directly to the inner ear. You will again be asked to respond each time you hear a sound.
Speech Audiometry
You will wear special headphones. You will hear simple, 2-syllable words. Words will be sent to 1 ear at a time at different volume levels. You will be asked to repeat each word or point to a picture.
Impedance Audiometry (Tympanometry)
A probe is inserted into your ear. The device changes the air pressure in your ear and emits sounds. The test measures how much your eardrum moves in response to the air pressure change and the sounds. It can help determine how well the middle ear is functioning and if there is fluid in it.
For Infants and Toddlers
Behavioral Audiometry
Babies are watched to see how they react to certain sounds.
Visual Reinforcement Audiometry
Children are taught to look toward the source of a sound.
Conditioned Play Audiometry
Older children are given a fun version of the pure tone audiometry test. Sounds of varying volume and pitch are sent through headphones to one ear at a time. Children are asked to do something with a toy each time they hear a sound. They may be asked to drop a block in a bucket.
Newborns and young infants may have brain stem auditory response testing. A sound is sent through headphones to one ear at a time. The response is measured using electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings over the auditory cortex.
After Test
Your test results are recorded on an audiogram. This is a chart or graph that shows the softest sounds you can hear. The audiologist will explain your test results.
How Long Will It Take?
Testing times vary. A first screening may take only 5-10 minutes. A more detailed hearing test may take up to an hour.
Will It Hurt?
There is no pain associated with these tests.
Your doctor will talk to you about treatment options if your test results confirm that you have hearing loss.
Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor if any of these occur:
- You experience continued or severe lightheadedness
- You notice additional hearing loss
- You experience pain
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

I just received this message from the CEO of JS-Kit after contacting him for the umptenth time in the past couple weeks...
Re: JS-Kit down... again!
Hi Nathan,
Yes, you are correct, we are experiencing a severe increase in new
sites using the service, see our post today. This was combined with
a flaw in our blogger synchronizing code that froze some comment
services. The system should be back-up now. We have disabled
the sync. software until the bug is resolved so we avoid another
instance of the outage today.
We are working 24x7 to expand the data center. You can trust that
scaling is our number one priority and that our best engineers are
hard at work building a solution.
My apologies for the impact to your site and my thanks for your notifying
me of your experience.
Be Well,
Khris Loux, CEO JS-Kit
I hope he gets it right, I will not tolerate much more.

Cool Decorating Idea For Antlers
Rustic to Refined: 3 Ways to Take Antlers Beyond the Wall
While some may be over the whole antler trend, a subtle twist can make it feel new again. Thinking beyond the wall, try styling antlers among your books, interspersed throughout a centerpiece, or using them to accent your coffee table. Whether they're faux or the real deal, they bring a rustic look to a room without looking cabin cliché. . .
1. As a Centerpiece
Fitting for a Winter wedding or dinner party, antlers are an easy addition to a table's centerpiece. While rustic, they are a chic touch, especially when paired against pink peonies and a gold vase.
2. Styled on a Coffee Table
We're always looking for unique decor to style a coffee table and antlers are just the way to do that. They add interest without looking cluttered and create the look of a modern cabin no matter your location.
3. To Accent a Bookcase
Source: Alice Gao via Lingered Upon
When it comes to your bookcase, a few small touches like flowers and antlers will create a styled look. Although simple, your books will not only become a topic of conversation but the focal point in your room.

(sing to the tune of Oh Christmas Tree)
O 'Lectricity, O 'Lectricity, how wonderful to have thee.
O 'Lectricity, O 'Lectricity, I'll never take you for granted!
Okay, I have a million things I want to blog about...but I have a zillion things I need to be doing more than blogging...so here's the lowdown:
*Our power went out on Sunday night at 2 am and came back on last night (Wednesday) at 9 pm.
*I will never take a warm toilet seat for granted again!
*Just because my husband works for the power company doesn't mean I can explain to you and your dog WHY your power is not on yet!
*Brooklyn finally lost that front tooth that's been dangling there under her permanent one for months! Hooray!
*Thank God for wonderful friends who do nothing but give, give, give at times like this!
*My son is puking everywhere right now. Every single bed in our house is covered in throw up. He can't even keep a sip of water down or a slice of banana!
*I have 11 loads of laundry to do today and only enough detergent to do about 5.
*I haven't done my real work (for the dr. office) since last week...so I am WAY behind and that is totally STRESSING me out.
*I am the homeroom mom for Brooklyns class and I am supposed to be throwing a big Christmas party next Tuesday and I haven't even started planning it!! AUGH!
*I was supposed to pay bills on Monday (on line) and since our power has been out..everything is going to be late...GRRR!~
*My husband has been working 16 hour days for the past 5 days and I miss him! I am here all alone since my mom and grandma went to another state to get away from this storm.
*We REALLY should have put a fireplace in this house! We have NO alternative heat source here and we don't even own any kind of lantern. What were we thinking?
*Okay, that's all I can think of at the moment. I'm sure there is more...but I really should get busy with (AT LEAST) the bills, my work and the laundry.
Oh and did I mention I am throwing a Christmas party at my house with 16 people invited on FRIDAY--TOMORROW!?

Equity futures are substantially higher this morning following earnings from Alcoa yesterday:
The dollar dropped dramatically, testing the 76 level and even sending a probe down to 75.68. If the 76 level breaks, the next support isn't until the 72ish range, a large move that could happen fairly quickly. Gold is higher, touching $1,060 overnight, and oil is hovering around the $70 a barrel range, but dropping just prior to the open.
Alcoa's earnings were an improvement quarter over quarter (down 30% yoy), but there's a caution point here in that their increased revenues came solely due to higher prices for aluminum and it looks as though their total throughput of aluminum was actually down substantially. That may indicate weaker demand than the price is reflecting and, of course, most analysts did not pick up on it.
Weekly initial unemployment claims fell to a much cheered level of "only" 521,000, the lowest level in 9 months and yet still a total disaster. Here's the spin, long live the king:
Fewer workers are filing for unemployment claims in what is encouraging news for the economic outlook. Initial claims fell significantly in the Oct. 3 week, down 33,000 to a 521,000 level that is much better than expectations (prior week revised 3,000 higher to 554,000). The four-week average is at 539,750, down 9,000 in the week. Continuing claims also fell, down 72,000 in data for the Sept. 26 week to 6.040 million. The unemployment rate for insured workers, as high as 5.2 percent in June, slipped another tenth in the week to 4.5 percent. Levels in this report are at their lowest since the first quarter. Initial reaction was very limited, perhaps because improvement in this report during September didn't pan out to improvement for the monthly employment report.
Meanwhile Congress is wrestling with extending benefits a whole 4 weeks as a record number of unemployed fall off the backside of benefits and are simply no longer counted. It always hurts to remember that the U.S. now employs fewer people in manufacturing than we did prior to WWII.
And speaking of wars, the "war" in Afghanistan now has gone on for more than 8 years, TWICE AS LONG as WWII! I'll never forget listening to Obama give a speech in Seattle, pre-election, where he was talking about ending the wars being his first priority. Once elected, however, his first priority became funneling more money to the central banks to "get credit flowing again!"
From a technical perspective, it would appear that we completed the first 4 subwaves of wave 1 up of 5 up of c up of B up yesterday. The overnight ramp may have been wave 5 up (or it may finish up today), so I expect wave 2 down to begin soon and it should be followed by another strong push higher for wave 3 up.
There was a very small movement on the McClelland Oscillator yesterday meaning that a large move is coming either today or tomorrow. With prices overnight clearing the 1,061 pivot, it becomes support with 1,041 being the next level of support and now 1,090 is overhead. Should 1,080 be breached, then the fifth wave will have made another high taking the failed fifth wave scenario off the table.
Consumer credit came in at minus $12 billion for the month of September. Here is the updated TOTAL consumer credit chart clearly showing that consumer credit is shrinking:
All those credit dollars... simply dust in the wind, lol!

There is increasing demand for data center space in multi-tenant facilities driven by a number of trends, according to a new report.
In the top 20 markets in the U.S., which include Northern Virginia, New York, Boston, Seattle and Silicon Valley, there is a total of 22.1 million square feet of data center operational space, according to 451 Research. Operational space is revenue-producing space in a data center.
The amount of data center space is growing, on average, about 9% a year, the market research firm said.
"In most areas, demand is really rising and growing faster than supply," said Kelly Morgan, research manager for multi-tenant data centers at 451 Research. "The result is that data centers are filling up."
The largest markets are adding space at a quicker pace. Northern Virginia, for instance, which accounts for about 3 million square feet, is averaging an additional 12% per year.
In its report, 451 Research said there is "an unstoppable move" to the cloud to host production workloads as well as to outsource services. Financial services and health care are leading the trend.
Healthcare facilities, in particular, are interested in creating more revenue producing space, and that often means moving IT equipment to an outsource facility, said Kelly.
Extreme weather, such as Hurricane Sandy, is also encouraging the trend to move operations to multi-tenant centers.

Kaunakakai, Hawaii
After a good hike to Haipuapua Falls on Molokai Island, we asked our guide where we should eat and she recommended having the chicken katsu at Mana'e Goods and Grindz. You can't beat the recommendation of a local connoisseur!
Mana'e Goods and Grindz.
Mana'e Goods and Grindz might not look like much of a restaurant, but rather a counter like its name describes; however, its food was awesome. Well really, we can only vouch for the chicken katsu since we each ordered the Japanese fried chicken dish. The plate included a generous portion of fried chicken morsels, a serving of rice and a salad (there was a choice of potato salad I think too).
Chicken katsu plate.
The boneless pieces of chicken were still moist and so crispy. It was such a treat to dip them in the BBQ sauce. This chicken katsu became a baseline for fried chicken for the rest of our trip.
Chicken katsu.
Mana'e Goods and Grindz is the perfect spot for local fare. We really felt like we got to try some good Hawaiian food! We even drove all the way there for seconds but it was unfortunately closed by the time we got there on Labour Day.

=Reuben= are already being bothered by loads of people who love 'em and Thoria are finally being taken notice of after everyone in the real world loved them for 6 months on music telly. Thoria? Who? They got Satan in their lives and they need misery because it helps them to write. Oh, what a fucking cliché? No. Singer and guitarist of the trio, Mart Fromage is from Coventry. He has no reason to lie. He has the following 7 Answers…
1. What is your favourite cheese and why?
Red Leicester...I hate it but it's my fave because it reminds me of being a kid. Taste wise…I'd say mature Cheddar just because it's so fuckin tasty. Good nightmares, too.
2. What would be the first thing you'd do if you had a really convincing sex change?
Few things enter my head…Lesbian bar
3. If you had to sleep with another member of your band who would it be and why?
I don't mix business with pleasure but I'm sure the band would want me after the sex change I'd get.
4. What's the best thing since sliced bread?
Thick sliced? Hummm…I like a lot of stuff. Maybe just knowing that there are a lot of amazing things since sliced bread…yeah…I think knowing that is enough.
5. Who or what do you really hate at the moment and why?
I hate my job so much at the moment because we are trying to take time to do gigs and struggle a bit to get the space...I hate Tom's job and Mike's too...All our jobs stop us doing what we love the most…So what we hate the most is stopping what we love the most…Can't think of a much worse scenario than that.
6. Which member of your band do you hate the most and why?
Well that would be myself, for no reason and every reason,
7. Who'd win the fight: The Grateful Dead OR The Undead with burning spears?
What do you think?
Thoria have already released their debut album 'Love Sick' and it's available in the 'good' record stores. It's probably selling more than a lot of established bands with record deals n stuff so fair play to them, I say. You know this is all sounding too good to you for you to miss out on anything so you really out to go see them at the Kerrang! Weekender @ Camber Sands on the Saturday.

Bible Lexicons
In linguistics, the lexicon of a language is its vocabulary, including its words and expressions. A lexicon is also a synonym of the word thesaurus. More formally, it is a language's inventory of lexemes. Coined in English 1603, the word "lexicon" derives from the Greek.
The lexicon includes the lexemes used to actualize words. Lexemes are formed according to morpho-syntactic rules and express sememes. In this sense, a lexicon organizes the mental vocabulary in a speaker's mind: First, it organizes the vocabulary of a language according to certain principles (for instance, all verbs of motion may be linked in a lexical network) and second, it contains a generative device producing (new) simple and complex words according to certain lexical rules. For example, the suffix '-able' can be added to transitive verbs only, so that we get 'read-able' but not 'cry-able'.
New Testament Aramaic Lexical Dictionary
The New Testament Aramaic lexicon is based on the work of "The Way International", a sect.

Rock Band 3 wants to teach you how to play music, or at least get you started down that road. We explained the Pro mode with the keyboard peripheral in our review of the game and now we're back with our thoughts on the Pro Guitar mode. Bottom line: the $150 Mustang peripheral is expensive, and a fretboard covered in buttons may seem intimidating, but it's worth the time and investment.
Rock Band 3 may not be able to teach you guitar if you've never picked up an instrument, but added to lessons from a real-world teacher, it becomes a powerful practice tool. For those of us who already play, it works as a fun way to improve fundamentals.
Less game, more work
The Pro guitar radically changes how the game is played. I was unable to sight-read all but the simplest songs, and it took time to get used to the numbers and shapes that represent chords. This is different than reading music or even tablature, so spending time on the lessons is a good idea. If you've never played a real guitar before, you'll need to learn how to move your hand, how to find specific frets quickly, and how to negotiate all those buttons.
And that's a major problem unless you're already a skilled guitar player, as you're given only basic instructions on how to hold your hands and what fingers should be fretting which strings. Playing the songs as a game and not learning proper technique could saddle you with bad habits, and if you're interested in moving from Rock Band 3 to playing away from your television, that's a concern.
The guitar itself felt lighter than expected, but the buttons on the neck were solid, and I was able to play as I would on one of my real guitars with minimal practice. The "strings" are plastic and stretch across the body and stop below the neck. It may look odd if you're used to the real thing, but your mind is fooled into thinking you're strumming and picking an actual guitar while playing. It's odd to strum softer or heavier with no change in the sound, and you're unable to add expression to solos, but those are acceptable limits in a game that already does so much right.
The game allows you to select a song to practice with, and then you can select tricky portions of that song to play back at a slower speed to work on until you get them right. By practicing the solos and then slowly bringing the difficulty back up, even difficult songs became possible to learn, and fun to play. Keep in mind that you're not just hitting buttons, you're playing the actual notes of the real song.
At lower difficulty levels the game mostly limits you to playing power chords, and even those come infrequently. As you gain confidence and increase the difficulty, you'll be tasked with playing more of the song and even learning the correct strumming patterns. Everything you need to know to play these songs is available in the lessons, but expect to put in some serious time practicing before you can play any of them straight through with no mistakes.
This can tighten up existing skills
The game and guitar can begin to teach you some skills, but it's amazing how quickly the game tightens up your playing if you already know your way around the instrument; the peripheral is a marvelous tool for finding problems in your technique. Since the interface shows every string you're fretting, it's easy to pick out bad habits. I found I had a tendency to mash down a couple of extra strings when playing certain chords, and now I have an easy way to correct this. Sloppy playing becomes much more precise if you're mindful, but again, this can only happen if you already understand what you're doing and why. This won't replace real instruction.
By learning a variety of songs which have you jumping from chords to specific strings and frets, I gained a much better understanding of how to play lead guitar, and this is a very fun way to practice. I wasn't doing dry exercises, I was actually learning to play songs, with the real music backing me up and the game giving real-time feedback on what I was doing right or wrong.
It was tricky to break the habit of playing Rock Band like a game, and instead learning to play the guitar like an instrument. Trying to work out the number and the shapes and then move my hand the way the game asked was nearly impossible, until I remembered that these were chords that I knew, and changes that I was used to. Once I got used to strumming as I would a real guitar and thought back to the habits I picked up playing music in college, it was like a light bulb went off in my head.
The game doesn't allow improvisation, but it will teach you how to play actual music, even if it is by rote. More importantly, it will teach your hands how to be comfortable on a guitar, and you'll be playing along with real music in minutes. I may be gushing a little, but that's due to how well the guitar works with the Pro mode, and how satisfying it can be to play songs this way. It's not as fun as the five-button guitar right off the bat, but it's much more rewarding.

What's DOS?

I think the biggest problem is that it swaps back to runtime when the laptop is turned off. This effectively renders the tool useless to promote battery health since it will charge to 100% if kept plugged after shutdown. (The only benefit to keeping it at 50% is for storage purposes.)
If the battery Lenovo uses has a healthy storage level of 40-50%, you should be able to lock the best battery health setting in place until the user wishes to change it. I say this because it takes a pretty long time for an Li-Ion battery to discharge 10% on its own when the computer is shutdown.
I don't understand the engineering argument that it's supposed to swap back to optimize when it dips below 40%. It would take days for a 50% charge to degrade that much in a turned off laptop. My laptop always switches back to the optimize runtime setting, even if only turned off for a few minutes. This leads me to believe that this feature doesn't work. If this feature worked as intended, I think it would be ok.

Jamez, I don't know if my opinion is very valuable, but it makes no harm so I am giving it anyway.
In my opinion, the behaviour should be this:
There should be a configuration ption called Battery health managament (or similar).
This should have two modes:
Manual mode
If the user chooses the manual mode, then she will be given two options:
Once chosen it won't revert automatically. It is up to the user whether she wants to one option or the other. If she eventually has to use the computer unpluged from the power line for a long time, she could allways revert the option manually and have the battery fully charged.
Automatic mode
If on the other hand the user chooses the automatic mode, there should be a really smart mechanism.
This smart mechanism should keep track of the ratio:
"Time of usage pluged to the power line" over "total time of usage".
If this ratio is more than a given value, then the system limits the charge of the battery to, say, 50%.
If it is below some other value it removes the limit. (there should be a gap between these reference ratios in order to avoid switching permanently from one setting to the other).
For example, if the amount of time the user uses the computer pluged to the power socket is over 60% of the total usage time, battery lifetime is preserved limiting the battery charge to 50% when plugged ("Max battery lifetime" mode). This option should be kept until the ratio goes down to, e.g., 40%. At that point it switches to "Max battery runtime" mode allowing the battery to fully charge next time it is plugged to the network. The limitation on battery charge won't be removed until the ratio goes over 60% again.
Note that the trigger points reffer to usage time ratios and not to battery charge percentage. The values of the trigger points are just examples. And maybe some other strategy should be used in the automatic mechanism, this is my first shot, but lenovo engineers can surely design a better one.
The initial condition should be "Max battery runtime", and this should be kept for e.g: 10 hours of use in order to allow the user to fully charge the battery on the first use, and to give chance to the mechanism to collect usage statistics befor making the decision of changing the behaviour based on usage ratio.
Hope this would help. And thank you for your help.

Hmmm... but my issue is that even if I stay in range, it would still change to "optimze..." after waking from hibernate, which can't be part of the design too?
Stop marking this the solution, this isn't solved...
Like I said, it isn't working. Regarless whether I'm in the range, if my computer turns off (or hibernates), it switches back, which is irritating beyong belief at this point, will you please tell the engineers to do something about it...

shlu, I don't know if you already have it, so I'll advice you to install the bios version available on the website. I flashed it nearly a month ago, and since then the problem with energy management was gone and everything works as suggested by Jamez (it switches at 40%).By the way, Jamez, why did Lenovo published 2.06 bios version on the website (which fixed at least this problem) only in late november, while it was available on newer laptops since the middle of summer, and we (users) were told that it wasn't the newer version, but typographic error?

I have read this thread and I feel like an absolute idiot.
On my Y570, I cannot access Lenovo power management at all, although it is installed on my computer. Any advice on how to run this program?
42 Page Views
On my V570 it is under All Programs | Lenovo | Energy Management | Power management options. Just type Power in the"Search programs and files" box that you get when you click on the windows button in the lower left.
Of course on the Y570 it might be different.
On my machine I copied a shortcut into the Startup folder so that it starts up whenever I login. I just leave it running so that I can see what it is set to when I'm going to shut down and if it has flipped over to "Optimize for battery runtime" at some point I can set it back.
Since the "Best battery health" only charges to 50% and it flips to "Optimize for battery runtime" at 40%, you do not have to be running on battery very long for the flip to occur.

A close-up image of a blood vessel in the brain shows a picture that looks amazingly like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Seriously, there's the antlers, the tail, and even the famous glowing red nose.
The scientists who stumbled upon the picture were studying the inner workings of neurons in the hippocampal region of the brain. The "red nose" in the picture happened by chance when the scientists were labeling the image. They cheated a little bit by overexposing the image to make the label show up as red (the antlers also popped more after overexposure), but it's such a fun find (that has no scientific purpose).
Even scientists have a little Christmas spirit in them! [Mirror UK via Geekosystem]
