If I have already made a adhoc connection from a WLAN enabled phone to a laptop/PC can I use that connection from J2ME to send and receive text or binary data to the PC?
Is it possible in J2ME using socket connection or some other level of abstraction? If not which runtime would support this kind of access on a mobile?

18 of the Television Sales team braved the elements on Saturday morning and undertook the Wicklow to Enniskerry part of the Wicklow Way, a 21km walk that turned into a 30km walk as they unknowingly continued past the finish line to start the next part of the Wicklow Way to Glendalough :)
Through mixed weather, 2 brief lunch stops and a few swigs from hip flasks, they managed the walk in just over 8 hours.
The team would like to thank everyone who donated to their 3 chosen charities and for all the support and well wishes that spurred them on, particularly during the last two hours of the trek.
The total amount raised was an amazing 7,431 so thanks again to everyone who donated!

Steven Mitchell remembers starting to play catch with a football when he was 4 and inside the house with his father.
"My mom didn't really want us to throw," he said.
As usual, mom knew best.
"You name it, we broke it," Steven Sr. said.
Steven Mitchell remembers starting to play catch with a football when he was 4 and inside the house with his father.
"My mom didn't really want us to throw," he said.
As usual, mom knew best.
"You name it, we broke it," Steven Sr. said.
Lamps, vases, tables — they became targets for destruction.
"When boys get out of hand, of course she's going to yell," Steven Sr. said of his wife, Nicole.
The Mitchells eventually took their game outside, and the rest is history.
Mitchell, a 5-foot-10, 177-pound senior at Mission Hills Alemany, has become one of the premier receivers in Southern California.
"Every time he touches the ball, he has a chance to go the distance," Alemany Coach Dean Herrington said.
Mitchell scored 19 touchdowns as a junior, 11 on receptions, five rushing, one on a kickoff return, one on a punt return and one on an interception return.
"I really don't like it when people have hands on me, so I use my moves to get off them," he said. "I just think of the end zone. I try to get there as fast as I can."
With an impressive burst of speed and sturdy upper-body strength, Mitchell is the big-play threat that would make any offensive coordinator confident.
"The thing about him is he can start and stop on a dime," Herrington said. "If he's in space and it's one on one, it's almost impossible for a high school player to tackle him. I've never seen such lateral movement from a player."
Herrington said college coaches who have come to campus tell him that Mitchell reminds them of former Crenshaw standout D'Anthony Thomas, now at Oregon.
"He's so elusive and so quick and can get from zero to 60 so fast," Herrington said.
Mitchell used to like basketball better than football, and his father remembers his son's unease as a 7-year-old.
"The entire year leading up to football signups, he was on me, 'Daddy, I want to play football,'" Steven Sr. said. "The first day of practice he stops me, tugs on my shirt: 'Yeah, son?' 'Why did you sign me up for football?' 'This one time, you can have my permission to withdraw, but do me one favor — go to this one practice. If you want to stop, stop.'
"He went through practice, loved it and didn't look back."
Mitchell committed to USC during the summer and hopes to lead Alemany to a Pac-5 Division championship.

McElroy has a concussion and will be replaced by Mark Sanchez as the New York Jets' starting quarterback in the season finale at Buffalo on Sunday.||||||| Coach Rex Ryan says Thursday that McElroy, preparing to make his second NFL start in place of the benched Sanchez, was lifting weights and had headaches.
McElroy was sacked 11 times Sunday in a 27-17 loss to San Diego.||||||| McElroy was 14 of 24 for 185 yards and one INT but he never had a chance. Nevertheless, coach Rex Ryan announced after the game that McElroy would start the season finale next Sunday at Buffalo.

He expects to decide who'll start at Jacksonville on Sunday by the time the team practices Wednesday. Sanchez left with 4:48 left in the third quarter, and McElroy came in and led the Jets to the only touchdown of the game on his first NFL drive.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The residents of Charlotte's Smallwood neighborhood were slowly beginning to try to get back into their homes Friday night after a storm dumped six inches of rain in the Charlotte area this afternoon. Many of them had to leave their homes as Stewart Creek overflowed its banks.
"Very scared and ready to get out," is how resident Wandis Watson described what she was feeling as the rains came down. "We looked out the windows one minute and it was low and then looked again in about 20 minutes it was starting to come up very high."
Charlotte firefighters brought in a boat and were able to help at least a dozen people out of their homes. They strapped on life-jackets and were led out by the firefighters.
After more than three hours, the water did start to go down and backyards were visible once again, but some things were not as they were before the rains came.
Larry Harris walked through his yard and found his above-ground pool had been picked up and carried halfway across an open field next door. His storage shed had also been toppled and the contents soaked by the muddy water.
He also pointed out a pickup truck sitting in the yard. "The water covered my truck from the wheel wells to the cab," said Harris.
But Harris and other residents of Roslyn Avenue knew they were fortunate and Harris said he hoped everyone learned a lesson about the power of water. "If it can move items like that, just think about it. We are nothing to the water," he said.

Boone giving away rain barrels to water customers
During the months of June, July, August and September the town of Boone will be giving away two rain barrels a month to town water customers.
Winners receive an Ivy 50-gallon rain barrel made in the USA from 50 percent recycled plastic, with two overflow ports, a screened inlet and a locking lid. Names are chosen at random from submitted entry forms that customers received with their June utility bills.
The winners selected for June were Joan Kiser and Joshua Minton.
The average homeowner uses approximately 40 percent of water for outdoor use. A one-inch rainfall on a 1,200 square foot roof will yield more than 700 gallons of water. Using a rain barrel is an excellent way to conserve some of this water.
A quarter-inch runoff from an average roof will easily fill the barrel. If you have five storms a season, that equals 275 gallons of free water. Rain barrel use reduces the stress on municipal water systems during the summer months and improves storm water management.
For more information about the town's water conservation program, call (828) 268-6250.

From Staff Reports
Cumberland Times-News
CUMBERLAND — As temperatures drop and residents depend on multiple types of heating sources, State Fire Marshal William Barnard offers Marylanders life- and home-saving heating safety tips.
"Elements of home heating continue to be a significant factor in dwelling fires in Maryland," he said. "Following these guidelines, we can work together to reduce the number of residential fires."
• Ensure chimneys are cleaned annually or more frequently if used as the primary heating source.
• Never use a flammable liquid to start a fire. Only use combustible materials like newspaper, kindling or approved fire-starting products to safely create a fire in a fireplace or wood stove.
• Use properly sized fireplace screens or enclosures.
• When disposing of cooled ashes, do not use paper or plastic containers to remove them, instead use a metal container. Ashes will insulate hot embers long after the fire is considered out.
• Make sure fuel-burning stoves and heaters are installed according to local fire codes and manufacturer's instructions.
• Have furnaces inspected and serviced annually.
• Check portable electric heaters for frayed/damaged wires and ensure they are clean and placed on a level surface. Use only products "listed" by an approved testing laboratory and follow manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not use extension cords with portable space heaters. The extension cord may overheat and cause a fire.
• Use only "K-1" kerosene fuel and never fill the unit inside; remove it to the exterior after it has cooled before refueling. Open a window enough to provide proper ventilation.
• Keep combustibles at least 3 feet from all heat sources.
• Provide a noncombustible protective barrier to keep children and pets from making contact with any heating appliance.
• Fuel-burning appliances can produce the deadly, tasteless and odorless gas known as carbon monoxide. Install and maintain CO alarms inside the home to provide an early warning of dangerous carbon monoxide levels.
• Always turn off portable heating equipment when leaving the room for extended periods. Portable heaters should never be operated unattended.
• Also check to make sure that smoke alarms are in good working order. "Routine maintenance and safe operation of heating equipment combined with properly installed and operating smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are a life-saving combination for all Marylanders," said Barnard.

Crowds fill Cowes Parade during the regatta. Picture by OlekCreations.
BUSINESSS boomed during Cowes Week, with huge numbers of visitors reported in the town.
Signs the longed-for economic recovery may finally be under way were reported by business leaders and ferry company Red Funnel.
In the main Cowes Yacht Haven arena, huge queues meant, at one stage, the bar ran out of a guest real ale and had to hastily order in more supplies.
And after a slow start, the mass of visitors provided a shot in the arm to local businesses, according to the town's Chamber of Commerce.
Chris Troup, who owns the popular Anchor public house in the High Street, The Lifeboat at East Cowes and holds the concession to run the Yacht Haven beer tent, said: "We were busy every day and were about 15 per cent up on last year.
"I think it was down to a combination of things. The weather was good and so was the racing. There was only one day when they could not race and they all had some really good times on the water.
"I think the economy does seem to be picking up and people are prepared to spend a bit of money."
Chairman of Cowes Business Association Maddy James said: "Compared to the previous year, it was fantastic. It was 100 per cent better than the year before."
Red Funnel's Red Jet passengers between Saturday, August 3, and last Saturday were up by 9.8 per cent, compared with 2012.
Michelle Warner, sales and marketing director at Cowes Week Ltd, said: "We've had a brilliant week, with some fantastic champagne sailing conditions. We're delighted with how it's all gone."

Miguel is definitely a weirdo in the landscape of modern radio R&B. His music seems like it's simultaneously from the '80s and the future, which is unique in a world where lots of R&B singers seem to feel pressured to pick one or the other. He probably could have been super-popular in the 2015 presented in Back to the Future II. Yesterday, he dropped Art Dealer Chic, Vol. 1, an unassumingly strong three-song set that finds him subtly stretching his comfort zone, ready to prove that while he might have made the jammy, down-to-earth "Sure Thing," he's definitely ready to face down the apocalypse. Miguel's promised to deliver two more volumes of Art Dealer Chic this year, so there's no need to despair at this project's brevity.

Students got involved in the auction, as well. Turf and landscape management students grew plants to prepare for a busy Saturday morning, where their table was swarming with people snagging plants and vegetables to fill their spring gardens.
The library also collected books throughout the year to donate to the book sale, where people could pick up as many books as they could fit in a bag for $5.
"We usually give out around 200 bidding numbers, so there are easily 300 people here every year," she said.
The auction formed nearly four decades ago because the college's auctioneering school wanted its students to practice.
"So they started collecting things, the culinary department made mother's day cakes and they collected things at the college that they needed to get rid of," she said. "But then they thought, what do we do with the funds?"
They soon banded together with the newborn college foundation and began donating the funds raised at the auction to academic scholarships for students.
Staff and students began moving items into the aviation center Thursday afternoon and had to have the entire center torn down by 5 p.m. Saturday so the planes could be moved back in for class Monday morning.
The foundation holds several different fundraisers throughout the year that eventually contribute to between 75 and 100 $600 scholarships. Other scholarships come through money given through estates and scholarships specifically designated toward different majors or colleges.
Free brownies were also passed around at the auction Saturday.
"When people eat chocolate, they're happier and more likely to spend money," she said, making the brownies a long-standing tradition at the auction.

CO2 as a Feedstock for Fuels & Chemicals
Awareness of net carbon emission and potential ways to reduce them is becoming more and more important to all industries today. A growing number of environmental, political and social drivers are placing pressure on industry to find low-cost ways to limit their contribution to the climate change problem.
A number of options exist for reducing carbon emissions and the combination of all the following strategies will likely be necessary to meet carbon stabilisation goals:
- Switch to more efficient technology with less energy consumption
- Use alternative feedstock with lower carbon content
- Establish carbon capture and geological storage
- Utilise CO2 as feedstock for industrial applications
The strong carbon pricing and equivalent regulatory mechanism will ultimately be necessary to drive widespread commercial deployment of carbon dioxide utilisation technologies.
Responding to these economics and market drivers, some of the world`s largest players in power and other industrial sectors are investing in projects to more profitably utilise CO2 for diverse industrial applications. The new environment has created an exciting tipping point in strategic partnering, investment, and construction that is driving rapid growth in commercialisation of CO2 utilisation technologies.
Mature CO2 reuse technologies as Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) can play a lead role in CO2 utilisation, though the emerging technologies in petrochemical, biochemical, fuel, and power energy sector are already making inroads.
U.S. demand for extruded plastics is expected to grow by 3 percent in 2014, with PVC remaining the largest segment.

The villainess Harley Quinn has been Batman's female nemesis for years. Instead of starting as a character from DC comics. She actually debuted as a minor character in an animated Batman TV series in the 1992. The creators did not expect any big reactions. However, the character and her iconic red, black, and white harlequin outfit was an instant hit with viewers, becoming a favorite villain in the series. After her character gained popularity with the audience and fans, the creators eventually spun off Harley Quinn into her own graphic novel Mad Love and later into her own comic book series. Today you will see different variations of the Harley Quinn in videogames, animated television, and comic books. If you couldn't find the female Joker costume or Halloween outfit you are looking for, you should check out these other female villain and super hero Halloween costumes on sale.

Re: your Feb. 25 article, "Prisons too full for paroled sex convicts":
According to the article, sex offenders are removing court-ordered GPS monitors, often with little risk of serving time because state prisons are too full to hold them.
In addition, more than 3,400 arrest warrants for convicts who tampered with tracking devices have been issued since October 2011, when the state began referring parole violations to county jails instead of returning them to its overflowing prisons.
The article went on to explain that Rithy Mam, a convicted child stalker, was arrested three times in two months after skipping parole and was freed almost immediately each time. After his third release, his GPS alarm went off, and he vanished.
State Sen. Ted Lieu has authored a bill that would require parolees who tamper with their
GPS monitors be sent back to prison for up to three years.The question is, why did the state foist these nasty people on the counties without a positive method to keep track of them (as shown by Mam's experience.
If prisons are full and county jails can't cope with this situation, how does a bill that will
send these people back to prison alleviate the situation? How are the innocent children protected?
I think we have elected a lot of heavy thinkers up in Sacramento. I guess we reap
what we sow.

Attention residents of Beverly Hills: yard waste collection ends today.
Tuesday, Dec. 11 is the last day for curbside yard waste collection and it won't start back up again until Apri 1, 2013.
According to the Village of Bevelry Hills, if residents have yard waste to dispose of during the winter months, they can take it to the SOCRRA facility on Coolidge Avenue in Troy, across the street from Meijer.
Yard waste is considered compostable materials such as leaves, grass clippings, vegetable or other garden debris, shrubbery, brush or tree trimmings that can be converted to compost humus.
Yard waste also includes:
- Wood chips
- Twigs
- Garden vegetables and fruit
- Old potting soil
- Shredded bard
- Sod
- Weeds
- Old Flowers
- Prunings
- Straw and straw bales
- Play sand
- Top soil
- Old mulch
- Corn husks
Yard waste does not include agricultural waste, animal waste, roots, sewage sludge, stumps and other treated wood.
However, if Beverly Hills residents are already thinking ahead to getting rid of their Christmas trees, the village will be chipping the trees during the first two weeks of January, weather permitting. Residents should remove all tinsel, ornaments, plastic bags and tree stands. The chips will be reused in Beverly Park.
For Birmingham residents, yard waste collection ends on the third Friday in December — or, next week.

The same car company that put the world's best-selling hybrid on the road is now asking Congress to drive America's energy future into a brick wall.
Toyota has sold more than one million Prius hybrids to environmentally conscious consumers who want to do the right thing for our planet.
But, incredibly, the company is now forsaking us by opposing the first improvement in U.S. fuel economy standards in nearly 20 years!
Please tell Toyota to get back in gear by supporting a measure that guarantees a fuel economy standard of 35 miles per gallon by 2020 for cars and light trucks.
Congress is negotiating an energy bill right now that could do just that - and save America 1.2 million barrels of oil each day by 2020, more than we import from Saudi Arabia.
But the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers - the powerful lobbying group that includes Toyota - is claiming that a 35 m.p.g. average for cars and trucks is "unattainable."
Go tell the maker of the 50-m.p.g. Prius to get out of reverse!
Two giant energy companies are pushing to drill exploratory oil and gas wells up to 14,000 feet beneath Colorado's spectacular Baca National Wildlife Refuge.
We need your immediate action to block this destructive drilling scheme, which could pave the way for massive industrialization of this natural treasure.
Please go to http://www.savebiogems.org/yellowstone/takeaction and urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to halt the Baca oil and gas project until a thorough study of its potentially devastating environmental impacts is carried out.
The Baca refuge is an important calving ground for deer and elk and provides a natural sanctuary to threatened or endangered wildlife, including the bald eagle, greater sandhill crane and mountain plover. World-class archeological sites dating back some 11,500 years have been found nearby.
The proposed drilling project threatens to transform this irreplaceable wildland into an industrial zone of drill pads and roads - contaminating air, land and waterways and unleashing a barrage of drilling-related traffic and noise. Even the adjacent Great Sand Dunes National Park could be at risk.
Energy companies currently own the rights to any oil and gas reserves beneath the refuge. But the Bush administration has the authority to block reckless and destructive industrialization on these lands.
Please go to http://www.savebiogems.org/yellowstone/takeaction and demand that the Fish and Wildlife Service protect the Baca National Wildlife Refuge from the far-reaching impacts of oil and gas drilling.
Thank you for helping to protect our last remaining Rocky Mountain wildlife habitats.
I'm not going back to school this fall, but maybe Congress should.
The problem of global warming is a no-brainer. Human activities on Earth are causing the planet to warm up - and that's bad news for everyone.
So why do our leaders seem to be failing Global Warming 101? This is no time to be sitting in the corner with a dunce cap on!
It's time for us to do a little tutoring, and teach Congress how to improve its grade. Global warming is the most important subject they face, and if they fail, we all lose.
So I've got a little homework assignment for YOU. Dust off your keyboard and remove those cobwebs from your dictionary. Let's keep global warming front and center. Congress needs to understand that, "We, the People" want strong leadership and solutions.
Take Action - Write a Letter to the Editor
Write a letter-to-the-editor in your local paper to help spread the word. Get your name in print while helping to save the planet. It's a win-win situation. Our letter-to-the-editor tool is easy to use. You'll be able to pick local papers and choose talking points from a drag and drop menu.

Take Action! Tell Japan to say NO to the marines, because airplanes don't belong in coral reefs.
Time is running out for the dugong and thousands of other creatures, including three species of threatened sea turtles, who call the reef and the adjacent seagrass bed home. But it's not too late.
Right now, the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the airbase site is open for public comment. It's crucial that you tell the Japanese government to put a stop to the plan for airbase expansion in Okinawa. And please, be sure to tell your friends to write too.
The local people of Okinawa have protested these plans successfully for years, but now they need your support too. Please, help save the dugong!

We need your urgent action to make sure that Congress stands firm against taxpayer subsidies for destroying America's greatest temperate rainforest.
Please go to http://www.savebiogems.org/tongass/takeaction right now and tell your senators and representative to protect the Tongass, a thriving habitat for grizzly bears, salmon runs, bald eagles and the elusive Alexander Archipelago wolf.
Thanks to pressure from you and other online activists, the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly in June to halt taxpayer subsidies for destructive new logging roads in Alaska's Tongass National Forest.
But Alaska's senior senator, Ted Stevens, is now working feverishly behind closed doors to make sure that this long-overdue legislation never sees the light of day. And he's drafting his own, underhanded, amendment to restrict sharply the public's ability to halt wasteful and devastating Tongass logging in court.
Over the last 25 years, more than 1 billion taxpayer dollars have been spent to clearcut and build roads through this irreplaceable BioGem.
NRDC activists like you have spoken out again and again against these wasteful handouts, which have enabled timber companies to expand their reach into the unspoiled heart of America's rainforest.
Please go to http://www.savebiogems.org/tongass/takeaction and demand that House and Senate negotiators stand up to Senator Stevens and his destructive logging-road subsidies in the Tongass!
Thank you for helping to defend this priceless rainforest refuge for imperiled Alaskan wildlife.
Please speak out now against plans for a dirty, coal-fired power plant in New Mexico that would release mercury and other toxic contaminants into the environment, pollute waterways and threaten human health. Go to http://www.savebiogems.org/yellowstone/takeaction right away and tell the Bush administration to reject the proposed Desert Rock power plant. A global energy company and the Dine Power Authority want to build the plant on the eastern edge of the Navajo Nation in northwestern New Mexico. The Four Corners region is already home to two of the most polluting power plants in the country. If we don't act now, this area could soon be besieged by a new wave of environmental hazards. In addition to mercury, the proposed Desert Rock plant would increase emissions of soot and soot-forming pollutants, which can cause asthma attacks, heart disease and other health problems. Furthermore, the Navajo Nation would receive less than five percent of the projected electricity output from Desert Rock, even though many Navajo people still have no electricity in their homes. Most of the power would likely be exported to Las Vegas and Phoenix. Last month, NRDC Members and online activists turned out at public hearings in Albuquerque and Santa Fe to oppose the Desert Rock plant, which would significantly increase global warming pollution in New Mexico at a time when states should be working to curb these dangerous emissions. Please add your voice to this outcry. Go to http://www.savebiogems.org/yellowstone/takeaction right away and tell the Bush administration to reject the proposed Desert Rock power plant and instead develop new initiatives that focus on energy efficiency and clean, renewable energy solutions. Thank you for helping to protect the environment of New Mexico and the Four Corners region.
The Bush administration is poised to approve a plan for 60 new gas wells - and a maze of roads and pipelines - in the spectacular White River wilderness in northeastern Utah. We need your immediate online action to block this attack. The deadline to register your opposition to this destructive proposal is Monday!
Go here to and tell the Bureau of Land Management to study the full potential impacts on the White River wilderness and adjacent wildlands before considering this reckless scheme. Last year, our BioGems Defenders sent nearly 33,000 messages protesting a BLM analysis that failed to acknowledge the devastating effects of putting new gas wells in this unique western wilderness. The agency's latest study is no better.
If drilled, these wells would be some of the first on lands that the BLM says are worthy of strict wilderness protections.
The towering sandstone cliffs and deep canyons of the White River region - part of our Redrock Wilderness BioGem - are a refuge for deer, elk, antelope, waterfowl and golden eagles. According to the BLM, "The spectacular scenery of the White River provides a dramatic backdrop for the hiker, rafter, canoeist, for fishing enthusiasts who visit this unique area."
Over the past few years, the BLM has approved the construction of roads, pipelines and compressor stations to the north, east and west of the White River wilderness. But it has never examined the cumulative impacts of this development on the region's natural values.
Go here to take action and urge the BLM not to rush headlong into approving this destructive drilling plan. Thank you for all of your help in protecting Utah's fragile redrock canyonlands.
The Bush Administration is opening the back door to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by allowing Shell to start drilling off its spectacular coastline this month.
NRDC needs your immediate help to go to court, slam that door shut and throw away the key. Because if we don't, we'll be leaving the Arctic Refuge and its wildlife vulnerable to a disaster that could be more devastating than the Exxon Valdez.
Please make a donation to stop Shell by going here.
It would take just one oil spill on the icebound Beaufort Sea that borders the Arctic Refuge to create a long-term toxic waste site. That's because the oil industry has no proven method for cleaning up oil in icy water!
Shell is planning to start its exploratory drilling within weeks. We need your immediate support to wage and win this federal case in defense of the Arctic Refuge and the wildlife that depend on it for survival.
You can help to stop Shell by clicking here.
A worst-case spill in the Beaufort Sea sends shivers down the spine of anyone who knows the appalling record of toxic spills by Big Oil in the Arctic.
And make no mistake: an oil spill off the coast of the Arctic Refuge is all but assured. The Bush Administration's own experts have predicted that drilling in the Beaufort will lead to at least one oil spill.
That spill would likely spread into the migratory routes of the endangered bowhead whale...blanket the shores of the Arctic Refuge where polar bears give birth...and impact hundreds of thousands of migratory birds.
The death toll of oil-soaked and poisoned whales, seals, polar bears and shore birds would be unimaginable.
There's still time to stop this disaster in the making, but NRDC is going to need your most generous support right away.
With your financial help, we can win this case - because the Administration's approval of Shell's drilling is a brazen violation of our country's environmental laws.
Please stand with NDRC right now in defense of the Arctic Refuge.
As several energy bills make their way through Congress, the coal industry is pushing for huge subsidies and mandates to transform millions of tons of coal into transportation fuels. The process to make this "liquid coal" is an expensive, inefficient one that produces large amounts of global warming pollution and precludes it from being a sound option to reduce America's dependence on oil.Relying on liquid coal as an alternative to oil could nearly double global warming pollution per gallon of transportation fuel. For example, using liquid coal fuel in a Honda Civic would produce the same amount of carbon dioxide emissions as operating a Hummer H3 on conventional gasoline. Moreover, large-scale use of liquid coal would increase coal mining's devastating effects on communities and ecosystems stretching from Appalachia to the Rocky Mountains, including polluted air and water, ravaged landscapes and a dismal record of worker safety.Although we can produce cleaner and less expensive alternatives to oil, Congress is nevertheless poised to lavish huge taxpayer subsidies to help get a polluting liquid coal industry off the ground instead of investing that money in options that would put us on a path to a cleaner, more secure energy future.What to do:Send a message urging your senators and representative to oppose any legislation that promotes liquid coal fuels.
The Bush Administration has just issued a disastrous "License to Kill" plan that could trigger the extermination of half the gray wolves in Wyoming and Idaho, starting as early as October - unless we stop it now.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is accepting public comments on this cruel proposal only until August 6. Please register your opposition right now by clicking here to submit an Official Citizen Comment.
Our best hope for blocking this "open fire" order is to generate a tidal wave of public outrage and protest...so please sign your Citizen Comment immediately.
The Bush Administration wants to treat wolves like vermin, instead of an endangered species that has staged a welcome and dramatic comeback from the brink of extinction.
In preparation for these mass killings, the government has already purchased planes and helicopters capable of gunning down entire packs of wolves in minutes.
Their goal: To immediately kill up to 700 wolves in Greater Yellowstone and central Idaho.
Our goal: To stop this horrific proposal in its tracks - by generating 200,000 pro-wolf Citizen Comments by the August 6 deadline.
Can we do it? I'm certain of it. Only three months ago, online activists like you sent more than 137,000 Citizen Comments protesting the Bush Administration's plan to remove Greater Yellowstone's wolves from the endangered species list.
But even before that battle has been decided, the Bush Administration is upping the ante by declaring open season on wolves.
Simply put, they will allow the slaughter to begin while wolves are still on the Endangered Species list!
The administration wants to be able to kill wolves anywhere that elk herd numbers may be affected by wolves. It is focusing on areas where elk herds are smaller than the states want.
But those few cases of declines in elk herds have been caused by a combination of factors including habitat destruction, drought and human hunting - not just by wolves. And in most areas of the northern Rockies, elk numbers are at all-time highs!
Please block this new License to Kill by expressing your personal opposition while the Bush Administration is still taking public input.
Submit your Official Citizen Comment now - and shield the wolves of Greater Yellowstone and Idaho from the coming crossfire.
When scores of baby gray whales are born in Baja's magnificent San Ignacio Lagoon this coming winter, their nursery will be one step closer to being fully protected against industrialization.
Thanks to Mexican President Felipe Calderon, 109,000 acres of federal land surrounding the whale nursery were recently designated for conservation.
I'm sure you agree that President Calderon and his administration should be applauded for defending wildlands and wildlife in the face of powerful economic interests.
That's why I'm asking you to join me in thanking the Mexican president right now by sending him an online message at http://www.savebiogems.org/baja/action1
Your message of thanks is critical. We want President Calderon to register strong support from all across North America for his visionary policy, because the fight to save the whale's nursery is still far from over.
Despite NRDC's stunning victory in 2000 that stopped Mitsubishi from industrializing the lagoon with the world's largest saltworks, San Ignacio Lagoon is still vulnerable to plans for oil and gas drilling ... massive high-rise hotels and resort marinas ... and ocean-bound ship traffic.
That's why it's so urgent that we press ahead with our ambitious plan to permanently protect all one million acres of land surrounding the lagoon.
Thanks to the generosity of NRDC Members and online activists like you, our conservation alliance has already secured permanent protection for 140,000 acres of communal and private lands. When you add in the government's 109,000 acres, we have succeeded in putting 249,000 acres off-limits to industry and developers forever.
We're a quarter of the way to our one-million-acre goal - in just two years!
Please go to http://www.savebiogems.org/baja/action1 right now and express your appreciation to the President of Mexico for defending San Ignacio Lagoon.
And thank you for supporting our campaign to surround this last unspoiled gray whale nursery with a million acres of protection.

A breakdown of the town siren Oct. 14 and the simultaneous loss of a broadcast, tonal pulse – called a "tone-out" – have cost some firefighters time responding to calls.
Emergency responders have been listening more closely to radio and pagers since the malfunction, but the problem grew more serious last weekend when the ambulance tone-out – that had been used on an interim basis for both fire and ambulance calls – also stopped working.
Dispatchers were limited to making radio announcements of emergencies that responders said can be difficult to hear.
"I was slow in responding to the late night Thursday call because I was awakened by voices on the pager, rather than the tone-out. I was one of only seven members that responded. That is the lowest turnout I have seen since I have been on the department," firefighter Vince Hansen wrote in an email to borough manager Mark Earnest Sunday.
"Several members have stated that they did not notice or hear the callouts without the tone or the siren," Hansen wrote.
Police chief Gary Lowe, whose department oversees dispatch and radio responsibilities, said Wednesday he was hoping to get the radio repairman here within the next week. The repairman was supposed to have been here before Thanksgiving, but the company's equipment wasn't working, Lowe said.
Hansen described the matter as urgent.
"An immediate fix to fire department call-outs and the siren is necessary. Without immediate repair, lives and property are at risk," Hansen said in his email.
Thom Andriesen, a 24-year member of the ambulance crew, described the tone-out as critical for alerting him.
"I don't wake up to talk on the radio. When that tone goes off, I hit the ceiling. If it's talk, it's just background noise," Andriesen said.
Voices coming over pagers carried by emergency responders can easily be drowned out at places like sporting events, Andriesen said. "The tone cuts through the background noise, or you hear the siren."
The problem stems from an aging, faulty radio system used by dispatchers. It's the same one they use to communicate with police officers, state road crews and state troopers.
"It's the emergency communication system for the whole borough. It's all linked together," said Scott Bradford, chief of the Haines Volunteer Fire Department.
This week, police dispatchers were using hand-held radios to communicate with patrolmen and were routing fire and ambulance calls through the fire department's 100-watt "mini command" base station upstairs through wires that have been run through the floor.
Emergency responders say in the absence of a fix to the problem, they've asked dispatchers to make some kind of loud noise on the radio that might wake them in the middle of the night.
"I've asked them to use some kind of horn or whistle, something with a high-pitched sound. They're supposed to be looking into it," said Bradford, who described the radio as outdated. "It's an old DOS system. It almost goes back to the hammer and chisel age."
The Haines Borough recently received an $80,000 grant to overhaul the dispatch system for receiving 911 calls, but that won't cover the radio, which is a separate component.
Police chief Lowe was hopeful that upcoming 911 improvements, including a new console, would help resolve the issue. "The console will improve the radio," he said. "Radios work through the console. Right now I don't know the radio is as much the problem as the console."
Police have a radio maintenance budget of about $3,000 for the work, Lowe said. The borough has received an initial repair estimate of $2,200.
A meeting was held Tuesday with fire, police, ambulance and dispatch representatives. "These are the kind of problems we can't let sit," borough facilities director Carlos Jimenez said Monday. He said the borough was looking into the cost of replacing the radio system.
Firefighters this week said they were using different techniques to pick up on calls, which recently have been radio announcements without any other cues.
"Without the tone, you have to turn up your senses. You have to try to distinguish the difference in the radio traffic, and what you need to attend to," said assistant fire chief Roc Ahrens.
One veteran firefighter who asked not to be identified said he has slept through calls for lack of the siren and tone-out, but others say they're adapting.
"Once I found out the siren wasn't working, I've become more attentive to it," said Greg Palmieri. "I just pay attention to everything (on the radio) more because of that."
Palmieri said he doubts the loss of the beacons have affected the department's response time. "The engine rolls pretty fast. I think everybody's getting pretty sensitive to it," he said.
Ahrens said he was alerted to an early-morning chimney fire by his wife, who awoke to the radio announcement before he did.
The siren that sits atop the firehall works fine, but its electronic trigger is broken, fire officials say. That's a concern for ambulance crew member Andriesen, who said the siren also is used in the event of a natural disaster.
"It's a signal to the community that something bad's going down. It's important," Andriesen said.
The siren and tone-out are critical to getting all hands to an emergency, such as an active, working fire, he said. "Fortunately, we haven't had anything too major, but that'll be coming at some point."

This was a great recipe! I seasoned the pork with sea salt and ground pepper before cooking it. I also substituted pecans for walnuts as my husband doesn't care for walnuts. Then I added some goat cheese crumbles as was suggested in another review and it turned out fantastic!
I had leftover tenderloin that was marinated in balsamic marinade. I substituted mixed spring greens for the spinach and crisp apple for the asian pear. My family (all adults) thought it was great. Next time, I'm going to add a few goat cheese crumbles just for fun.
chatty scrapper
I forgot to pick up pears so I substituted a medium apple. And had some good aged gouda around that I added at the end. I used the Maple Balsamic dressing others mentioned and made some for marinating too. A plus is that my hubby who is not a big fan of either pork or vinaigrette dressings liked it.

i have loved Nickleback since i was a little girl!
I have loved Chad Thuner-Kroeger since before he was even born into body this lifetime. My body is 20 years older than his; however, spiritually I am only a tiny bit older than he is. My entire lifetime (and this is my 1st), I have been searching for him; and it took being illegally locked out and homeless for me to find him in such a way that I couldn't ever let him go even if I wanted to. Mr. Faraway... gotta go.

" We are finally out of the mountains after 27 days camped on the ice. It was the most incredible experience of my. The challenges were large but the rewards were larger. In 20 years of snowboarding I have never felt highs like I felt on this trip.
The trip was an experiment with a lot of question marks going into it and I am proud to say that it was a total success. We road world class lines in unexplored mountains with out the use of a helicopter. Living in the mountains at the base of our objectives gave me an intimacy with my surroundings that I have never felt before. We knew every layer of the snow-pack before we even went out because we lived threw the storms. It seemed like everyday I was learning something new in the mountains and doing things I have never done before.
We consistently had to back down on lines waiting for the right conditions because hiking the lines from the bottom up left no room for error. For the big lines we would be exposed for 3 to 5 hours as we hiked up the faces we would ride. With a heli you can limit your exposure to minutes.
Now I am in "shock" mode as I settle back into society. I will role out some journal entries and pics as time permits. Below is some highlights and a few pics from the first two days of filming:
-12 ft of snow fell while we were camped on the ice. (a 10 day storm, and a 5 day storm).
-We ate 100 pounds of Clif Products (45 kilos).
-Filmer Garry Pendergrass wins the "Toughest Bastard Award" for lasting the whole month in camp.
-Travis Rice was the MVP. Putting in 25 days with non stop energy and stoke.
-Tom Burt is truly the God Father of Big Mountain Riding and a huge reason for our success.
-Jonaven Moore is my favorite person in the world to ride with.
-I had 31 runs.
-Hiked 30,000 vertical feet.
-Rode 17 out of 18 days. (I missed the 10 day storm for Shane's Funeral….Thanks Shane!)
-Climbed 3 major unnamed peaks and rode world epic lines off them.
- Named the biggest and baddest one Mount McConkey. "

ZigBee Test
ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) is a low data rate (20 to 250 kbps), extremely low duty-cycle (< 0.1%) system intended for periodic, intermittent, and repetitive low latency data transfer. A star topology allows peer to peer networking with up to 255 devices per network. Low power consumption and aggressive sleep modes allow a battery life of several months to several years. Although it is specified to operate in the 868 MHz, 915 MHz and 2.4 GHz ISM bands, it appears the 2.4 GHz ISM band may be the most widely used in practice.
The data rate for ZigBee is low, but spectrum spreading is used (at 2.4 GHz), which gives an occupied bandwidth of approximately 2 MHz, and allows the link to operate over a range from 1 m to greater than 100 m. Current targets are industrial and commercial applications including monitors, sensors, and automation.
Agilent provides the signal generation and analysis tools you need to test the most common implementations of ZigBee. Accelerate Wireless Design and Test with Flexible, High-Performance Platforms
