From rainwater harvesting in one Indian village to an aggressive conservation program in an American city, communities around the world are finding ways to manage the water demands of growing populations and expanding economies. We're inviting scientists, community leaders, water managers, conservationists, and activists to share the lessons they've learned from the field—and the innovative solutions they've found. We hope their stories will build a shared sense of community and motivate the public across the world to conserve freshwater and the diversity of life it sustains.
Why We Shouldn't Dam the World's Most Productive River
New dam projects in Laos and Thailand threaten the biodiversity of Asia's Mekong River. National Geographic Fellow Zeb Hogan tells us what needs to happen in order to save the region's giant fish.
Damming the Omo to Stop the Flow of Ethiopia's Cultural Diversity?
An ancient way of life that sustains 200,000 people could be lost if the Ethiopian Government can find the money to build a big new hydroelectric dam on the Omo River.
After Decades of Conflict, Adversaries Join Forces to Save the Klamath
The Klamath is a unique river that winds hundreds of miles through the high desert of Oregon and into the forests of northern California. It historically supported an outstanding abundance of fish and wildlife, including the third largest salmon run on the West Coast of the United States.
In Honduras, Trying to Learn the Secrets of a River Before It's Dammed
In 2006, the Honduran government approved a hydroelectric dam on the Patuca River. Downstream of the proposed dam site stretches the largest wilderness in Central America, home to thousands of indigenous people, and now at risk.
Dam Removal and River Restoration, Maine
Rebirth, renewal, resurrection. Everyone loves second chances. Rivers in particular have an uncanny ability to bounce back from a wide variety of insults and injuries. The removal of the Edwards Dam on the Kennebec River in Maine provides an excellent example.
Rainwater Harvesting Finds Traction in India
How will vast regions of India cope with unreliable rainfall? One remote village is setting an example for the rest of the country, and world.

By Paul Zeise, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Keith Srakocic/Associated Press
Dave Wannstedt walks the sideline in Pitt's loss to West Virginia in November.
Pitt football coach Dave Wannstedt has been fired, defensive line coach Greg Gattuso told the Post-Gazette today. Gattuso said the assistant coaches were informed this afternoon.
Pitt athletic director Steve Pederson could not be immediately reached for comment this afternoon, but he declined to comment through a university spokesman Monday night when he was asked a series of questions by the Post-Gazette about Wannstedt's future. Those questions included, "Will Dave be the coach next year?" and, "When will you meet with him, before the bowl game or after the bowl game?"
The Panthers are playing in the BBVA Compass Bowl on Jan. 8 , but it is not known yet who will coach the team in that game.
Early season losses and the loss to Connecticut, along with a string of players getting arrested and too many no shows at Heinz Field, put Wannstedt squarely on the hot seat. But the loss to West Virginia - putting a BCS bowl out of reach - was, according to one source, the final straw.
Pitt finished this season 7-5 (5-2 in the Big East) and even though it was the Panthers third winning season in a row and they shared the conference championship with Connecticut and West Virginia, they have yet to win the Big East championship outright and get to a BCS berth in six years under Wannstedt.

Greetings! And welcome to The Information Index.
Rdskn4Lyf21 had an idea he posted in the Feedback Forum which I thought was great: Start a help thread which would be a one-stop source for finding answers to frequently asked questions. He is busy with school right now, so I'm going to start the thread, and he'll help me with it periodically as time allows.
This Post #1 will hold an index to the other helpful threads on this site and other sites, by using the fairly new, powerful, but underused tag search function. If a member has a question about anything - anything at all - chances are it's been asked and answered somewhere at some point on this site. This thread will index the thread which we feel provides the best answer to the most commonly asked questions. This will be an ongoing and frequently updated project.
Here are some answers to questions about:
Avatars Here's a thread about avatars.
Here's a compilation of 'toons Bang has posted over the past several years.
Cap/Salary Figures After clicking the icon, click on the tabs at the bottom.*

New Season Ticket Holder Info
Noteworthy Posts A small sampling of posts some might consider to be notable.
Official ES/RR Home Game Tailgate Info Here's your opportunity to meet in real life some of the people you've been debating all these months/years. These are organized and managed by Pez & Huly with major food/refreshment contributions from Redskin-roadtrips.com and regular ES Tailgate members. It is funded in whole by its participants, so although everybody is welcome, food/refreshment contributions are strongly encouraged. If you're arriving by Metro and food/refreshment contributions are not convenient, please do not hesitate to offer a monetary contribution. A sticky will be found in the Tailgate Forum the week prior. If you're driving, use beltway Exit 17 or 17B, Landover Rd (westbound), then make first left, then follow the road past the light and turn left into the Green E Lot (you'll need a Green Parking Pass). The group meets at the tree line opposite of Gate E near the lamp post marked E-43. If there is no ES Tailgate thread up at the moment, you can do a tag search on "es tailgate" for general info.
Official ES/RR Away Game Tailgate Info Depends on the venue. Redskin-roadtrips.com organizes and manages a number of the away games to the benefit of extremeskins.com, frequently in tandem with an ES member's thread. Otherwise, it's up to whatever member wants to be willing to step up, take the reins, and start an Away Game Tailgate thread. To maximize exposure, you may start this thread in the Stadium Forum. These threads are normally stickied the week prior. If you plan on attending, know these are funded in whole by its participants and the expenses can be significant - so if you can't make a food/refreshment contribution, don't be afraid to offer a monetary contribution to the organizer/manager. It's the right thing to do. Note: This site has recently closed down operations.
Parking On-Site / Metro Options For directions or parking, click a link. Lots normally open 4 hours prior to kickoff. Vehicles must possess an advanced-purchased colored parking pass which is clearly displayed prior to approaching all lots. Beltway exits 15, 16, or 17 heading west can be used to access FedExField. If you'd like to avoid most of the game traffic, here are some alternate routes. A copper parking pass requires use of Barlowe Rd. off of Rt 202, Landover Rd. Recreation Vehicles require a special RV pass and must use Landover Rd/Brightseat Rd/Redskins Rd. (north) entrance. There is no official cash parking on stadium grounds. For Metro Rail, take the Blue line towards Largo Town Center and get off at Morgan Blvd Station and follow the crowd. For returning home after night games, Metro will announce the scheduled time for the last train to leave the Morgan Blvd Station here.
Parking Off-Site / Cash Parking Cash parking is available from privately owned lots around the stadium. Click a graphic for details.
Photos Naturally, the best forum in the National Football League should have the best photos in the National Football League. My apologies. However, you'll find some excellent ExtremeSkins member photos here.
Pigskin Glossary Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask.
Questions Have a Redskins-related question? You could do a site-wide search if you wanted. Otherwise, ask your question in the The Questions Thread, and you'll get a quick reply from the super-smart ES membership.
Redskins Database A site motivated by and suspiciously similar (like exactly) to the gone-but-not-forgotten ES founders' original database.
Redskins Jerseys Anything and everything you ever wanted to know.
Report Post Function The report post function, enabled by clicking on the small report icon found in the lower left corner of all posts, is where problem posts should be reported. For general issues, you may report problems here or here. Thank-you.
Rule Clarifications This new version of vBulletin has prompted the addition of the following rule clarifications which are implied but not specifically found in the Forum Rules link:
- Please do not abuse the tag line. This new version of vBulletin includes tags. Tags may seem anonymous to members, but the mods can see their author. Do not belittle or insult fellow members or otherwise break any rules within the tag line.
- No politics in The Stadium. The veterans of this site already know this. This stems from the language in Rule 4.
- In addition: if you've been NNT'd or you've lost your sig or you've been locked out of certain functions and you don't know why or what to do about it, click the links for clues. Reading the Rules page from top to bottom will also provide the solution to your problem. And if you're interested in avoiding a ban, here are some more fun facts.
Seat Upgrades Team Policies and Fan feedback.
Stadium Map See the view from your section with this interactive map.
Team Send-Offs and Welcome-Backs A sticky is typically found in the Stadium Forum the week leading up to a road game. These are organized by Pez & Huly and take place at Redskins Park in Ashburn, VA. Come and show support for your team!
The Magic Blue Arrow Many are not yet aware of this. With this relatively new version of vBulletin, each quote now includes a little blue arrow icon. Clicking on it will whisk the reader to the original quote in its entirety including any photos. The browser's back button will bring the reader right back. Example:
The Search Function - surely there's a better way This google link was generously brought to light by .guy.. Alternatively, you can go to google.com and type in your keywords followed by "site:extremeskins.com" (minus the quotes).
The Tag Search - how does that work
Tickets Redskins games have been sold out since 1966, but sometimes the team gets give-backs from their opponent, so the week before a home game, it doesn't hurt to check this site for a thread, or phone the Redskins Ticket Office at 301 276-6050. Otherwise, you're looking at the aftermarket. For price, the Classifieds Forum on this site is great! Otherwise, I personally recommend an eBay auction, combined with a sniping site such as esnipe.com. That's probably your next best value, although you might also consider craigslist.com. If you're more concerned with seat location, Stubhub's interactive stadium map is an excellent search tool. Click the icon for more info.
TV Distribution Maps These are usually posted in the Stadium Forum the Thursday prior, but here's the index.
Where are some good sports bars to watch the Redskins outside of DC?

The game plays so much better, and we've gotten lots of positive feedback from whomever we show it to."

ENO Single Nest Hammock$59.95

Cons Best Uses
Comments about ENO Single Nest Hammock: This is a must when going on an extended Voyage. One never knows when they need to sleep off ground because of high waters or animals in the swamp. This item is very compact and durable. Pros
Best Uses
Comments about ENO Single Nest Hammock: I bought this hammock and slap straps as a gift for my daughter's birthday. She set them up at her apartment and called me to say how much she liked her gift. This weekend she brought them camping and quickly set the hammock up at our campsite. It was so easy and comfortable to use I'm going to get one for myself! Pros
Cons Best Uses
Comments about ENO Single Nest Hammock: This is a good quality product, easy to set up and comfortable. Pros
Cons Best Uses Comments about ENO Single Nest Hammock: We have used this hammock on our sea kayak trips and really like it's ease of set up with the suspension system. It has been a crowd pleaser and two of our friends are now also planning to get one. Good Buy! Service and delivery comments: Product arrived when anticipated and in good condition. Pros
Cons Best Uses Comments about ENO Single Nest Hammock: I use a hammock (along with a small inflatable mat and a normal sleeping bag) on kayak trips to give me more options about where I stop for the night. This one works fine, but I have replaced the cord and crabs it came with with lighter and more flexible 4m lenghts of tape. The integral stuff sack (in the middle of one side) is of no use to me becasue I pack and unpack it from the ends - so that it stays well clear of the ground. That said, this is a well made and useful item; but buy the "double" rather than the "single" if you are large or like to move around a bit at night.

The variations from the initial 2005/2006 Budget Night (Main) Estimates to Supplementary Estimates were due to:
(b) Non-departmental expenditure
* now accounted for as a reduction in cost recovery levy income
This comprises balances of the Crown bank accounts managed by the Ministry of Fisheries on the Crown's behalf pursuant to section 4 of the Public Finance Act 1989.
These balances represent funds drawn down from the New Zealand Debt Management Office at the Treasury for payments to be made on behalf of the Crown but not yet paid, proceeds from asset sales, revenue receipts not yet transferred to the Crown and GST payable to the Department of Inland Revenue on revenue invoiced on behalf of the Crown.
Section 265 of the Fisheries Act 1996 creates a mandatory obligation on the Minister of Fisheries to have regard to under and over recovery of costs of any conservation service or fisheries service in a previous financial year when recommending a cost recovery levy order for a current/future year.
This provision reflects the balance of the net over and under recovery of cost recovery levies for the period 1 October 1995 to 30 June 2006 to be applied against future cost recovery levy orders.

Chicago asks judge to vacate verdict
CHICAGO (AP) – The city of Chicago is asking a judge to erase a landmark verdict that found there exists a code of silence in the police department that leads officers to protect rogue colleagues – a legal move that critics say is calculated to deny others suing over alleged police abuse from citing the decision as a precedent.
The motion, filed this week in U.S. District Court in Chicago, comes a month after jurors at a civil trial returned with a verdict against the city and for bartender Karolina Obrycka. A videotape of off-duty officer Anthony Abbate beating Obrycka in 2007 created a sensation after it went viral on the Internet.
One aspect that makes the motion unusual is that Obrycka joined it. The advantage to her is that, if the joint request is granted, Chicago will pay $850,000 in damages awarded to her by jurors immediately, rather than stringing out the litigation for years on appeal.

the loo door
5→ privacy in the bathroom!! yay us! the first interior door is officially hung.. it's tall, all of our inside doors are 96″ to give us the feel of a bigger space in our tiny home. we got an amazing deal, door companies both local and online were pricing this style of molded door at $300 and up and while we only need 6 doors that's still a lot of moolah. after lots of persistent craigslist browsing we got lucky and found both bathroom doors and the double set of bedroom doors for only $75 a piece. (now we're on the hunt for the final two for the closet)
the breakdown of above photos: trimmed the excess drywall, cut and installed wood framing, used shims to level out the frame, a tiny trim was needed on the actual door (diy tip: use blue painters tape to prevent splintering or saw marks on your door), routed the door for hinges (second diy tip: a routing tool/template makes hinge cuts extremely easy..we got ours here), new hinges (we're going with shiny brass.. we saw brass hardware in quantum of solace in the grand hotel and right then & there knew that's what we wanted), and badabing, badabang, we've got a door! (doorknobs on order and paint.. soon)

Marmalade Rebranding
What happened?
Ideaworks3D Limited rebranded its "Ideaworks Labs" division as Marmalade. Its market-leading product "Airplay SDK" was also renamed as Marmalade (or "the Marmalade SDK). The registered company name "Ideaworks3D Limited" remains the same. The main website is now www.madewithmarmalade.com
When did it happen?
Mid-June 2011.
Why did Ideaworks Labs and Airplay change their name to Marmalade?
The goal was to combine our team of software experts with the award winning SDK product under one brand. We believe this will help build our well-established reputation further, and position us strongly in a fast moving and expanding market.
Has Ideaworks Labs changed its ownership?
No, there have been no changes in the ownership or management structure of the company. We are the same company, with the same smart people, building the same innovative technology and products, in the same offices. We are growing fast though!
What about Ideaworks Game Studio?
Ideaworks Game Studio is another division of Ideaworks3D Limited and remains unchanged.
What should I do if I need to use a Marmalade logo?
Please Contact Us using the form on here.
Are there any other changes happening?
We have introduced innovative new licensing with low cost options. Information about our new license packages can be found here.
A new version of the SDK, Marmalade 6.0, was released in April 2012. Click here to find out more about Marmalade 6.0/
We'll be launching a new developer loyalty program shortly and through which developers can benefit from community activities like code submissions, forum participation, etc.
Why have you changed your licenses?
The number and diversity of developers entering the cross platform development world is changing fast. We felt we needed to provide licensing options to meet these changing needs and better match developer business and technical requirements.
Can I continue to download new versions of the SDK?
Yes, simply go here.

If you are one of the many off-road riders who have never ridden a trials bike, you are missing out. Not only are you missing a ton of fun on the bike, but you are also depriving yourself of some essential bike skill-building seat time that is guaranteed to make you a better, faster and safer all-around rider. I was reminded of this by Beta's recent new model intro, during which a bunch of motorcycle magazine editors were invited to compete against each other in a mock trials competition while spending some time aboard Beta's all-new bikes. The event was a great way to sample some of the latest trials-specific machines from Beta, including the highly upgraded Evo 125. Here's a look at what we thought of this sweet little machine:
For 2011, the Evo received a number of changes, all of which centered on increasing balance, predictability and response, three features that are absolutely essential in trials. The main redesign is in the new piston profile and crankshaft, which also sports a lighter rod to increase overall output while keeping vibration at a minimum. A new, lighter flywheel reduces weight and inertia, while a revised silencer and ignition mapping both aid in better torque.
Speaking of torque, this tiny powerplant serves it up generously; the amount of low-end power put out by the 125cc motor is incredible. If you were to just hop on the bike and go, it would be difficult to guess that the displacement is that small, seeing as the bike features great response and incredible traction. Sure, it winds out in each gear a little more quickly than, say, a 300cc trials bike, but through proper shifting and the correct feeding on of the power there is not a lot of difference at the enthusiast level between what the 125cc motor can and can't do compared to the bigger bikes. Also, the Evo 125 has excellent response for roll-it-on applications, and the exhaust is quiet enough that you could likely cruise this bike around your backyard with the neighbors ever knowing.
Like any trials machine, the Evo 125 has insanely sharp controls, which include a perfect hydraulic clutch. The brakes were both sharp and consistent, and the jetting was perfectly suited to the rocks that we were climbing-or should I say 'attempting' to climb, because it takes some guts to get the Evo even halfway near its full potential! In fact, trials star Colton Haaker (pictured) made the rounds on the Evo 125, and even with the insane leaps that he was making the bike looked like it had a lot more left in it.
A number of additional upgrades grace the Beta 125, including new bodywork, lighter wheels and different engine mounting for better climbing ability. These changes all contribute to easy, solid handling that doesn't feel sketchy in the least. At low speeds, the Evo is precise and easy to maneuver, yet it still maintains stability when cornering faster or slamming into large obstacles. The suspension was just fine for our lightest (155 lb) test rider, while our larger (190+ lb) rider had no negative comments regarding excessive bottoming or anything of that nature. Sure, the bike has some odd ergonomic traits (among them the super-long shift lever, padless seat and tall handlebar), but what trials bike doesn't feel this way?
At a $6599 retail price, the Evo 125 is not the cheapest cross-training tool you'll ever encounter, but it is likely one of the best. Beta has a proven history of success in trials, and with more and more crossover between trials and off-road the gap between the two sports is steadily shrinking. Whether you're a full-on enduro guy or a part time trials enthusiast, the Evo 125 could be the best purchase you ever made in terms of advancing your skills while having the time of your life on two wheels. If you ever get a chance to try one of these bikes, hop on it!For more information go to www.americanbeta.com, and stay tuned to Dirt Rider for more trials bike tests and info.

USA Volleyball Teams Celebrated in Magical Send-Off at Disneyland Resort
The place where dreams come true proved to be the perfect backdrop for the Anaheim-based mens and womens USA Volleyball teams, as they set out to make their dreams come true in the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Showered in red, white and blue confetti, the athletes and coaches traveled down Main Street, U.S.A., in a cavalcade with Mickey and his pals. Park guests and Disneyland cast members cheered as the Disneyland Resort All-American College Band played A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......

But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY — Across South Carolina motorists are given a choice this holiday season: stay sober or be put in the slammer. The S.C. Department of Public Safety began its Sober or Slammer enforcement blitz Dec. 5 and it will continue through early January in an effort to deter drunk drivers and make sure South Carolinas roads remain highways, not "die ways."
In Fairfield County, the sheriff's department will serve a support role to whatever initiatives and checkpoints the highway patrol puts into place.
"We defer to them in the checkpoints and saturation points and then we work with anything they are doing," Captain Brad Douglas said.
Due to investigating major cases and to heavy call volume during the holidays, the sheriff's department elects to keep more officers out on patrol.
"We place an extra emphasis to patrol about crimes of opportunity that often increase this time of year, like burglaries," Douglas said.
Douglas said there have been lots of burglaries in neighboring counties like Newberry, Richland and Chester but that this year there has not yet, as of Dec. 21, been a spike in burglaries in Fairfield County as they have seen in years past.
"We are trying to be proactive because there are thefts in counties all around us," Douglas said. "This is the first year of the last few without a rash of burglaries in the days leading up to Christmas."
He could not say whether a more robust police presence with added patrols was the reason for the decline, but the officers like to think their added patrols are helping the situation.
Patrols will be the main focus of Winnsboro Department of Public Safety this holiday season as well. Chief Freddie Lorrick said the Winnsboro Public Safety will be out in force on patrol this holiday season but they will not set up DUI checkpoints per se.
"There is so much going on around us (that we elected to keep up our regular patrols) but rest assured our offices will keep their eyes open for drunk drivers while they are out on patrol," Lorrick said.

Saturday, Kevin finally finished painting the bathroom and on Sunday, we tore out the old linoleum and I re-tiled the floor with some self-stick vinyl tiles. I'm pleasantly surprised with how they turned out and can't wait for the entire room to come together. All we have to do now is put some trim around the windows and the floor, seal the tile and put up our new towel bars and shower curtain rod.
Not only did the hubs and I work on the bathroom this weekend but we finally gave in and traded my hardtop convertible

The complex opened in October.
Lowndes County board president Harry Sanders tells the Commercial Dispatch that recreation officials are considering an additional restroom, concession stand and a coaches' lounge for about $200,000.
Sanders says Roger Short, executive director of the Columbus Lowndes Recreation Authority, is to meet with supervisors on Monday.
Columbus Mayor Robert Smith says the city council is expected to discuss the issue at its meeting Tuesday.
The additional restroom and concession stand would be closer to the south end of the park, providing facilities on both ends of the park.
Sanders said he hopes the work will be completed this winter.
