1. Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast™: Extending the Wi-Fi experience to seamless video display Wi-Fi Alliance September 19, 2012The following document and the information contained herein regarding Wi-Fi Alliance programs and expected dates of launch are subject torevision or removal at any time without notice. THIS DOCUMENT IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS", "AS AVAILABLE" AND "WITH ALL FAULTS"BASIS. THE WI-FI ALLIANCE MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS OR GUARANTEES AS TO THEUSEFULNESS, QUALITY, SUITABILITY, TRUTH, ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THIS DOCUMENT AND THE INFORMATIONCONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT.
Executive summaryThe stunning growth in multimedia traffic, especially for video and gaming, is accompanied by a fundamental shiftin how, when and where users access content. Now more than ever, users have a wide range of Wi-Fi-capabledevices, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, TVs, and gaming consoles. Whether in the home or in a mobileenvironment, users interact with multiple Wi-Fi devices, some of which store content locally and some of whichare better suited for displaying content. For example, users may want to stream a movie from the internet to atablet, but display it on a television in their living room.The Wi-Fi Alliance has launched a new certification program, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast™, developed with thesupport of a wide ecosystem of silicon, mobile device and consumer electronics (CE) vendors, to make sharing ofscreens including graphical, video and audio content across Wi-Fi devices seamless. After initially pairing twoWi-Fi devices, users can choose to stream content or mirror a display from one device (the source) to a seconddevice (the display). Miracast allows users to establish a direct Wi-Fi connection between two devices, eliminatingthe need for an existing network.Miracast builds upon Wi-Fi to give users the freedom to display content on the device of their choice, whileretaining the ease of use, interoperability among vendors, and security that all Wi-Fi CERTIFIED products share.Miracast supports the most widely used codecs and video formats, to enable users to view the audio and videocontent they want on the devices they choose.Miracast uses many of the building blocks that, over the years, have enriched the user experience and increasedtheir trust in Wi-Fi, including Wi-Fi CERTIFIED n (improved throughput and coverage), Wi-Fi Direct™ (device-to- ® ®device connectivity), Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2™) (security), Wi-Fi Multimedia™ (WMM ) (trafficmanagement) and Wi-Fi Protected Setup™. Some Miracast devices will also support Tunneled Direct Link Setup(TDLS), which allows them to connect via an infrastructure network. TDLS enables more efficient data transferand the use of more advanced Wi-Fi capabilities than those supported by the legacy infrastructure networkthrough which the devices are connected.Miracast is an optional certification program for client devices capable of supporting video, such as TVs, over-the-top set-top boxes, cameras, projectors, smartphones, tablets, and laptops. To enjoy Miracast, both the displayand the source devices must be certified for Miracast. Miracast may be used on devices without embedded Wi-Fithrough the use of a Miracast-certified adapter that supports an interface such as High-Definition MultimediaInterface (HDMI) or Universal Serial Bus (USB).The list of devices certified for Miracast is available in the online database of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED products on theWi-Fi Alliance website (www.wi-fi.org).2 of 18© 2012 Wi-Fi Alliance.

Introduction: Wi-Fi in the connected homeThe intersection of wireless connectivity and streamed audio/video content is one of the hottest growth areas inCE devices. In North America, real-time entertainment now dominates data traffic, both in the fixed (64.5%) and 1mobile (51.6%) domains (Figure 1) . Other regions are also rapidly approaching the 50% mark for video content,and are expected to surpass it in the coming years. Video dominates real-time entertainment (in North America,Netflix alone accounts for 33% and YouTube 14% of fixed traffic; in mobile networks, YouTube captures 27% oftraffic).The growth in real-time video entertainment is coupled with a trend towards devices that are easy to carry, withsmaller form factors that maximize the screen areas (e.g., tablets) and encourage interactivity and sharing amongfamily members or friends. And users are no longer satisfied using one connected device. According to a survey 2by Juniper, mobile users have on average three Internet-connected devices and 18% of them own five or more .Figure 1. Real-time entertainment traffic as percentage of download traffic. 3Used by an estimated 17% of the world population , Wi-Fi is at the epicenter of growth in wireless video and otherreal-time entertainment, because it is the most widely used wireless networking technology in the home,workplace, and public areas, and in both fixed and mobile user devices.Wi-Fi is not only a required feature in laptops, netbooks, tablets, and smartphones (Figure 2), but also thedominant transport technology for traffic from those devices. In the US, more than 90% of tablet traffic is carried1 Sandvine, 2012.2 "Trusted mobility index", Juniper, 2012.3 ABI Research, 2012.4 of 18© 2012 Wi-Fi Alliance. All rights reserved.
4over Wi-Fi, according to comScore , and a large portion of this traffic originates in the home. Cisco VNI estimatesthat by 2016, Wi-Fi will carry 51% of the global fixed/mobile IP traffic. 5Figure 2. Percentage of CE devices with embedded Wi-Fi sold in 2012.Wireless connectivity allows users to access content wherever they are, but the home is where they spend muchof their time watching and sharing content, listening to music, or playing games. Today's homes are sophisticatedenvironments, buzzing with an increasing number of connected devices, each optimized for some specific usagescenario or content type. Content is less likely to be stored in a centralized location such as a home desktop PC,but is distributed across many devices.The ability to display content across the devices that populate the home, in a seamless way that works regardlessof vendor, form factor, or content type, and that does not involve onerous setup or configuration requirements iscrucial for users, and this ability has emerged as a key driver for interoperable real-time entertainment solutionsbuilt on Wi-Fi. ™Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast expands the role of Wi-Fi in interactive video and audio entertainment. It enablesseamless mirroring of entire displays across devices or sharing of any type of content that a source could display.This paper introduces the Miracast program. It provides an overview of the Miracast approach to wirelessstreaming and display mirroring of real-time video and audio content between Miracast devices, the technologythat drives it, the features that will make it valuable to vendors, content providers and users, and the certificationprogram that will ensure interoperability across vendors.4 comScore, "Digital Omnivores: How Tablets, Smartphones and Connected Devices Are Changing U.S. DigitalMedia Consumption Habits," 2011.5 Strategy Analytics, 2012.5 of 18© 2012 Wi-Fi Alliance.

Consumers embrace connected content Users worldwide watch 4 billion hours each month on YouTube U.S. Netflix users have streamed more than 2 billion hours from the service In Japan, Niconico video has 26.48 million subscribers as of March 2012 In Korea, TVing, first launched in 2010, has over 3.5 million users and is the country's biggest multi-screen service for smartphones, tablets, PCs and other screens Use of apps continues to skyrocket – extending beyond smartphones to tablets, e-book readers, and TVsTable 1. Consumers embrace connected contentMiracast delivers real-time wireless display of contentThe astonishing growth in the adoption of real-time entertainment and other types of video content gives Wi-Fifurther opportunity to expand its reach, and to allow users to continue to rely on a technology they know and trustin the devices they already own or plan to purchase. But the high levels of real-time traffic to be exchangedbetween devices – and the expectation of a high-quality rendering of the received content – create a demandingwireless environment, characterized by: • High traffic volumes • A need to connect devices even where a Wi-Fi access point (AP) is not available • Traffic that requires low latency and jitter • Multiple devices with different capabilities (ranging from high-definition TVs, to smartphones, to tablets, and more) • A wide range of applications running on these devices • A desire to establish transient device pairings across multiple devices to allow flexible content access and screen sharing with family and friendsThe Wi-Fi Alliance developed the Miracast certification based on the Wi-Fi Alliance Wi-Fi Display Specification tomeet these challenges and to ensure that Wi-Fi remains the technology of choice for real-time wireless contentdisplay in the home and enterprise. The technology and certification program were developed in the Wi-FiAlliance by a diverse group of mobile and consumer electronics device manufacturers and silicon vendors.Miracast makes the sharing of video content between devices seamless. It simplifies the process of forming directwireless connections, freeing users from spending time and effort connecting cables or manually establishing awireless link every time they want to share content between devices. With Miracast, devices identify and connectto each other, manage their connection, and optimize the transmission of content on the basis of their capabilitiesand network conditions. Miracast brings a user experience that is functionally similar to a wired connection, butwith the added advantage of portability within the Wi-Fi coverage area.With Miracast enabled, users no longer need to find the right cables and connectors, or to identify the appropriateports to connect devices. Moreover, devices such as smartphones and tablets, which may lack physical ports forvarious cable solutions, are still able to connect and display. Devices connect to each other, without cables,adapters, or a Wi-Fi network, and without complex configuration – provided that they are Wi-Fi CERTIFIEDMiracast.The main target market for Miracast is users who own multiple devices capable of storing and/or renderingvideo/audio content and enjoy the ability to interactively direct the content to any device, and share the real-timemultimedia experience with family and friends. Miracast gives them the opportunity to easily view or mirror anycontent on any Miracast CERTIFIED device within the home.6 of 18© 2012 Wi-Fi Alliance. All rights reserved.
The enterprise is another target market segment, in addition to the home. Miracast allows employees and theircustomers or partners to share real-time content and business applications between devices. With Miracast theyno longer need to physically connect their laptop to the projector; they can instead use either their laptop,smartphone, or tablet as a source that beams all the content to the display – i.e., the projector. Miracast: Key benefits Content support Miracast can support any type of content that the source device can display, with no restriction of applications or file formats. Available content protection mechanisms promote the participation of premium content providers and encourage their efforts to distribute content while protecting their digital rights. Cost effectiveness Miracast uses the Wi-Fi functionality already designed into connected devices. It does not require implementation of an additional wireless technology, or of ports for cabled solutions, in order to provide connectivity. Demand-driven Connectivity between source and display devices can be established connectivity through the user's normal interaction with an application or service. This creates an environment where users only need to choose what content to display, without having to establish device-to-device connectivity as a preliminary step. Ease of use Users can share video content between devices seamlessly, without a complex setup procedure. Strong Wi-Fi Miracast benefits from the advantages of Wi-Fi as the underlying foundation connectivity technology. Miracast delivers Wi-Fi CERTIFIED n performance and Wi-Fi Direct, enabling connectivity across devices even where there is no Wi-Fi AP infrastructure. Miracast will further benefit from continuous advances in Wi-Fi performance. Proven The well-established and proven certification model of the Wi-Fi interoperability Alliance is extended to Miracast. Miracast works between any source device and display device, regardless of vendor, as long as they are both certified for Miracast. Traffic Miracast uses channel selection mechanisms from Wi-Fi Direct and management TDLS to select an optimal channel, avoiding congestion from nearby networks that might impact video transfer. Quality of service mechanisms enhance the viewing experience by prioritizing latency- sensitive video traffic. ® Trusted security Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2™) security protects users' privacy, as it does in all Wi-Fi CERTIFIED networks.Table 2. Miracast: Key benefits7 of 18© 2012 Wi-Fi Alliance. All rights reserved.
Miracast does not require a typical Wi-Fi infrastructure network, though many devices will take advantage ofnetwork connectivity to access content. Miracast connections are expected to be predominantly establishedbetween Wi-Fi devices connected with each other directly, without an AP acting as an intermediary. The directlink between devices is established either through Wi-Fi Direct, a feature that all Miracast devices are required tosupport, or through TDLS, an optional feature. When two devices connect with each other directly, one fulfills itsrole as the source (the transmitting device) and the other functions as a display (the device receiving andrendering the content to the user). Topologies supported by Miracast are shown in Figure 3. Topology 2: Source with access to AP and direct connection to Display Topology 1: Direct Source to Display Content may be streamed from AP to No AP present Source to Display Source AP Source Display Display Topology 4: Source and Display Topology 3: Direct Source to Display, connected to each other and to AP AP present, but not connected Source may stream content from itself or AP may be aware of Wi-Fi Miracast through AP AP devices, but it is not connected to them Display AP Source Display Source = Miracast ConnectionFigure 3. Miracast topologies The Miracast user experience To start using Miracast, the user has to:While many devices can act as a source in some usage contextsand a display in others, their capabilities will largely determine • Power on both the source (transmitting) and displaytheir role. Devices that can generate, transcode, or store content, (receiving) devices, and enable Miracast if notsuch as laptops, smartphones, and cameras, are more likely to enabled by defaultbe sources; devices such as digital TVs (DTVs) and projectors • If using the user interface on a display device: o Request the device to discover all theare more likely to be displays. Devices like tablets may act as compatible source devicesboth sources and displays, depending on whether they are used o Browse the source devices that have beento generate, transcode or store content (source) or to present discovered or previously pairedcontent (display) transmitted wirelessly by the source. o Select the source device to be paired • If using the user interface in a source device: o Request the device to discover all the compatible display devices o Browse the display devices that have been discovered or previously paired o Select the display device to be paired • Begin playing the content on the source Wi-Fi Direct is used to complete these initial steps to connect the two devices. In subsequent sessions, the two devices recognize that they are paired without repeating these steps. The user can initiate a new session from either the source8 of 18 device or the display device. A source device and a display device can be involved in only one active session at a time.© 2012 Wi-Fi Alliance. All rights reserved. The session can be ended by either device.
Leveraging Wi-Fi technology for wireless displayMiracast builds upon the foundation provided by several other Wi-Fi Alliance certification programs (Figure 4): • Connectivity: Wi-Fi CERTIFIED n provides a transmission channel designed to support multimedia content. • Device-to-device connectivity: Wi-Fi Direct™ allows devices to connect directly to each other, without the need for a Wi-Fi AP, and often requiring just the push of a button. TDLS allows devices that are associated to the same Wi-Fi network to establish a direct link with each other. • Security: WPA2™ makes the transport of multimedia content safe, protecting both the source and the display. • ® Quality of service (QoS) : Wi-Fi Multimedia™ (WMM ) gives real-time content, such as voice and audio, priority where appropriate over best-effort traffic, to support a good user experience. • Battery life: WMM Power Save extends the battery life of mobile devices like smartphones or tablets by minimizing the time the device is actively connected to the AP during idle time. Power save mechanisms in Wi-Fi Direct provide similar benefits when connecting devices without an AP. • Ease of installation: Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ helps users to automatically configure Wi-Fi networks, enable WPA2 security, and add new devices.Figure 4. Miracast benefits from multiple Wi-Fi Alliance certification programsMiracast devices may support as an option Tunneled Direct Link Setup (TDLS), a Wi-Fi Alliance certificationprogram that enables a direct link between client devices connected to the same Wi-Fi AP so they cancommunicate directly. TDLS is based on Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11z anddefines a device-to-device network within an existing basic service set (BSS). When supported, TDLS allows twodevices on the same network to establish a Miracast session between them so that they can transmit to each9 of 18© 2012 Wi-Fi Alliance. All rights reserved.
other directly without having to route the traffic through the AP. In this scenario, the link between the devices isnot provided by Wi-Fi Direct.The Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast approach to wireless streaming of multimediacontentA Miracast session starts with a request from the user either from the source or from the display device. Thecontent must be present on the source device, and may be acquired through streaming, copying or downloadingthe content, or generated by the source device itself, as in the case of screen mirroring, business applications orgaming.Once the content is available for transmitting, the source device identifies available display devices and theirrespective capabilities, and asks the user to select which device should act as the display. At this point, thesource device establishes a link with the chosen display device in preparation for transmission (Figure 5). Oncethe connection is established, the source device encodes the content, taking into account display devicecapabilities and channel conditions to optimize transmission over the Wi-Fi interface. Supported formats are listedin Table 3. Finally, the display device receives the content, decodes it, and renders it. Miracast: Supported formats Display • 17 Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) formats, from 640 x Resolution 480 up to 1920 x 1080 pixels, and from 24 to 60 frames per 6 second (fps) • 29 Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) formats, from 800 x 600 up to 1920 x 1200 pixels, and from 30 to 60 fps • 12 handheld formats, from 640 x 360 up to 960 x 540 pixels, and from 30 to 60 fps Video • ITU-T H.264 (also known as Advanced Video Coding [AVC]) for high-definition (HD) video, supporting the Constrained Baseline Profile (CBP) and the Miracast-specific Constrained High Profile (CHP), at levels ranging from 3.1 to 4.2. Audio • Mandated codec: Linear Pulse-Code Modulation (LPCM) 16 bits, 48 kHz sampling, 2 channels • Optional audio codecs, based on: • LPCM mode 16 bits, 44.1 kHz sampling, 2 channels • Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) modes • Dolby Advanced Codec 3 (AC3) modesTable 3.

Wireless streaming in MiracastAll source devices are required to support video and video plus audio content. Display devices may support videoonly, or audio and video content.Principal MechanismsMiracast uses the Wi-Fi medium access control (MAC) and physical (PHY) layers as its foundation. It relies on thevendor-specific user interface (UI) to manage the user inputs and preferences. Further, vendor session policymanagement is relied upon to initiate device discovery and selection, authorize the link between the source andthe display devices, store the user profile, and manage the traffic. Table 3 describes the session managementstages in Miracast. Miracast session management Device discovery Source and display devices discover each other prior to connection setup. The Device discovery mechanism is defined in the Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Specification. Service discovery Source and display devices discover each other's Miracast (optional) capabilities prior to connection setup. The Service discovery mechanism is defined in the Wi-Fi P2P specification. Device selection A remote device is selected for connection setup. User input and local policies may be used to decide which device is a display and which is a source.11 of 18© 2012 Wi-Fi Alliance. All rights reserved.
Connection setup Connection setup selects a method (Wi-Fi Direct or TDLS) to manage the connection. Wi-Fi Direct sets up a group owner and client to initiate a device-to-device link. A WPA2 single-hop link with selected devices is established. Upon the establishment of connectivity between the source and display devices, the display initiates a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection, with a control port using Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) to create and manage the sessions between source and display devices. Capability negotiation Source and display devices determine the parameters for the Miracast session. Content protection If the devices support content protection and are streaming setup content requiring protection, session keys for link content (optional) protection are derived using High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) 2.0/2.1. HDCP session keys are established before the RTP session is initiated. This feature is designed to protect the digital rights of content owners and to encourage their efforts to make their content available. Session establishment Upon completion of capability negotiation, the source and display and streaming devices setup the Miracast session prior to streaming content. The audio and video content available on the source device is packetized using Moving Picture Experts Group 2 Transport Stream (MPEG2-TS) coding and encapsulated by Real-Time Protocol (RTP) User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Internet Protocol (IP). Finally, IEEE 802.11 packetization enables the source device to send content to the display device. User input back A User Interface Back Channel (UIBC) for transmitting control channel setup and data information related to user interaction with the user (optional) interface is set up. User inputs at a display are packetized using a UIBC packet header and transported using Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Two user input categories are available, i.e., Human Interface Device Class (HIDC) and Generic. Payload control When the payload transfer starts, devices may adapt transmission parameters on the basis of channel conditions and power consumption. Adaptation can be achieved by: Compression ratio change and macroblock skipping (using the H.264 standard) Frame skipping (if the display device supports this functionality, the source device may skip some of the frames to be transmitted according to the current resolution) Format change. Display session Either the source or the display terminates the Miracast session. teardownTable 4. Miracast session managementCertification Program Testing Overview12 of 18© 2012 Wi-Fi Alliance.

Miracast is an optional certification program, directed mostly to equipment that is capable of supporting graphical,text, video and audio content. Devices such as TVs, cameras, projectors, smartphones, tablets and laptops areideal candidates for Miracast certification.Miracast retains the interoperability approach common to all Wi-Fi Alliance CERTIFIED programs, which ensuresthat Miracast-certified equipment retains backwards compatibility with previously certified equipment. As a result,a Miracast-certified display device will work with a newly purchased Miracast-certified source device, even if thisdevice supports additional Wi-Fi functionality that is not available in the display device, such as new PHY layerfeatures, expansion to new spectrum bands, or new codecs.Because Miracast implements advanced technology, only products which have been certified in the program willsupport the functionality. Miracast works only when both source and display are certified.The Miracast certification is limited to non-infrastructure devices. Infrastructure equipment such as APs do notrequire any additional certification to participate in a network with active Miracast sessions – even if, as in Figure3, the source device is connected to the AP (topology 2) or both the source and display devices are (topology 4).To be certified for Miracast, a device must also be Wi-Fi CERTIFIED for: • Wi-Fi CERTIFIED n • WPA2 • Wi-Fi Direct • WMM • Wi-Fi Protected SetupWhile it is expected that TDLS certification will be commonly pursued for Miracast–certified devices, it is anoptional component of the Miracast certification process. Miracast and TDLS are complementary, and vendorsseeking Miracast certification for their products have the flexibility to choose whether they want to support TDLS.In addition, to be considered for Miracast certification, devices are required to support the mandatory audio andvideo formats as defined in Table 2. Display devices without speakers are allowed to support video only.Since Miracast builds on the latest Wi-Fi functionality, some recently released devices may receive Miracast as avendor software upgrade after being certified for Miracast. The potential to add Miracast to devices already in themarket will accelerate the adoption of Miracast, because it allows users to enjoy the advantages of Miracastwithout the need to replace their Wi-Fi devices.Furthermore, Miracast may be added to existing devices that do not have embedded Wi-Fi. This can be done byusing a Miracast-certified dongle that supports High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), Universal Serial Bus(USB) or other interfaces to connect a rendering device. In this scenario, the dongle manages the Miracast pairingand sessions, and it is treated by the device as if it were a cabled input source.Users can identify products that are certified for Miracast either by consulting the online database of Wi-FiCERTIFIED products on the Wi-Fi Alliance website (www.wi-fi.org) or by checking their interoperability certificate(Figure 6).13 of 18© 2012 Wi-Fi Alliance.

Figure 6. Interoperability certificateSummaryMiracast is a new Wi-Fi Alliance certification program based on the Wi-Fi Alliance Wi-Fi Display Specification. Itleverages Wi-Fi technology to support wireless video streaming and display mirroring between Wi-Fi devices forreal-time viewing in home and enterprise environments.The growth in video and audio content availability, in the number of devices that can generate or display high-quality media, and in user demand for real-time entertainment applications has created an environment in whichusers increasingly rely on Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is a technology that users trust and is found in most of the mobile and CEdevices that they use for multimedia applications. The Wi-Fi Alliance and its member companies developedMiracast to increase the ease of use and quality of the user experience for interactively sharing graphical, text,audio and video content between Wi-Fi devices.Miracast leverages Wi-Fi Direct to optimize the graphical, textual, audio and video streaming over Wi-Fi byestablishing efficient device-to-device connections—in which a source device transmits real-time content to adisplay device through a direct, peer-to-peer connection—which do not incur the cost of an additionaltransmission path to an infrastructure AP. Miracast coexists with traditional Wi-Fi networks, but does not needthem to establish streaming sessions between Miracast–certified devices.Miracast is an optional Wi-Fi Alliance certification program that is open to devices that support multimediacapabilities. Among its target devices are TVs, STBs, projectors, and other CE Wi-Fi devices, as well assmartphones, tablets, and laptops, which today almost invariably have embedded Wi-Fi. With Miracast, vendorscan add a powerful and attractive feature to their products that will further accelerate the consumption of real-timecontent over multiple devices. Users will welcome Miracast and the freedom from wires and adapters that itbrings, allowing them to enjoy seamless, interactive wireless streaming of their favorite audio and video content.14 of 18© 2012 Wi-Fi Alliance.

Appendix: Wi-Fi Alliance programs to promote seamless connectivity From its inception, the Wi-Fi Alliance has promoted interoperability across vendors through its Wi-Fi TM CERTIFIED program, which certifies client devices and infrastructure equipment that meets the specifications and the performance requirements established by the Wi-Fi Alliance, and based on the IEEE 802.11 standard. Users' confidence that Wi-Fi CERTIFIED devices can connect to any Wi-Fi CERTIFIED AP to deliver a reliable connection and a high-quality experience has made Wi-Fi ubiquitous in PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones, and increasingly available in other CE devices. With effortless interoperability as its core target, the Wi-Fi Alliance certification program has expanded to include the building blocks that support a richer and safer user experience with mobile devices: • Wi-Fi Protected Access® 2 (WPA2™) is required in all Wi-Fi CERTIFIED devices and infrastructure equipment and provides IEEE 802.1X controlled access, secure Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)-based authentication and connectivity through encryption of the over- the-air traffic. • WPA2™ with Protected Management Frames (PMF) provides a WPA2-level of protection for unicast and multicast management action frames, strengthening privacy protection for data frames with mechanisms that improve the resiliency of mission-critical networks. • ® Wi-Fi Multimedia™ (WMM ) provides quality-of-service (QoS) functionality to enhance the user experience with real-time applications, such as streaming video and voice applications. • ® Wi-Fi Multimedia™ – Power Save (WMM -PS) minimizes power consumption in mobile devices. • Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ n leverages multiple-in, multiple-out (MIMO) technology in IEEE 802.11n Wi-Fi CERTIFIED products to enhance performance and capacity in Wi-Fi networks.18 of 18© 2012 Wi-Fi Alliance.

"Home field advantage has no advantage to Detroit, who lost last week to a crippled Packers team when they needed it! the Texans have superior talent, on both offense, and defense, this matchup leans strong to a HOUSTON win, final score: Texans 38 | ..."
Play - Oakland A's w/Bassitt vs Gonzalez.
Edges - A's: Chris Bassitt 3.53 ERA in nine MLB career home starts, and 19 strikeouts and 3 walks in his five team starts this season. Orioles: Miguel Gonzalez 2-5 last seven team starts during the month of August, including 1-3 away, and 0-1 with 7.06 ERA career team start versus versus Oakland.
With Gonzalez sporting a 6.19 ERA in his last six starts, we recommend a 1* play on Oakland. Thank you and good luck as always.

Safely serving: Among the mission blogs in Hurricane Sandy's path, the New York New York South Mission had a goal to be "Safe then Serve." I love it. Here are some snippets: "Dear parents, All missionaries are SAFE. The first phase of 'Safe' and 'Serve' is complete. We are being cautious and asking all missionaries to stay another night in the same locations. We will make a decision tomorrow on whether to return to our original apartments on Thursday. Thank you for all of your prayers. President and Sister Calderwood" and "Our plan is called Safe and Serve — Be safe first and then go and serve." Wow!
Choir hangout: Not only is this "Live Chat with Members with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir" neat for those interested in the reaction to the choir's new YouTube channel, but it's awesome just for its use of technology: Google Hangouts are easy ways to hold roundtable discussions of up to 10 people that can then be uploaded to YouTube. It's easy and fun. What a great example!

Lovely club house with the candidate, 18-hole course. pity that the course is located closer to the sea, is facing the inland between fields.
I have read a number of reviews on this 18 hole course that had a wide variety of opinion. We played it mid-May and had a wonderful day. We rented clubs and were cautioned when we called that the clubs were "3 of 5". I suppose if you expected to beat 80 the clubs would be somewhat lacking. However we...
enjoyed this course, although only one in area.
Attached to a 5-star hotel.
Rental clubs were old but servciable
We just visited the club house for the views of sunset. The views were stunning. The course looked excellent. Really well maintained and well laid out. The club house is a modern beauty with beautiful views from the bars, restaurant and meeting areas. There was a storage room for your clubs, so no lugging them up and down from your...
Last three years my wife and I are spending long vacations (whole November and February) in Istria staying at Skiper resort located next to Adriatic golf course, where we play golf practically every day. There are times when it is windy (bura) and rainy but we still managed to play 15-25 times a month for a reasonable monthly membership fee....
After writing a good review last year,I returned to play again with my friends Colin,Rob,and John. Who are all unfortunately better players than myself.The course has only got better this really is a fantastic course. I still cannot see why this club has any bad reviews, as last year the staff were very helpful and informed us if any bad...
This golf course is worth playing as it's the only one in Croatia except a natural reserve "course" on Brioni island far south near Pula. The course deserved a bit more as the surroundings are on high level. Posh club house (spartan locker room though). The driving range is a shame, balls hit your head on first tee! The holes...
We had a lunch there. We ordered salat which was normal a lot of cabbage, sweet corn, tomatoes nad chicken but beef wrap is amazing. They serve very good coffe. Waiters are very good.
On holiday from England. We found on arrival the staff were very accomadating and helpfull. The course was stunning. This course is one the best courses ive played. Fantastic club house and i will return !
Brian Sampson .
The overall design is bad, the location of the eighteenth hole is a disaster, from the terrace of the club house view is on the driving range. Fairways are poorly maintained regardless of the lack of water. Greens are good but Bunkers are better for water than sand. Too expensive for the value! The staff in the club house is...

Imagine the view of Australia from space right now. La Nina and her flooding rains have had a huge impact on our nation and not just on the coastline. The flaming reds and burnished browns that our sunburnt country is renowned for have been replaced by huge swaths of green and are positively humming with life. Peter Elfes has spent the past three years documenting the transformation.

Candida Article #0: Free Candida Test
Candida Test
This test is not medically recognised, but we find it seems to work in so far as we receive 'anecdotal' reports on a daily basis from people who failed the test, used some of our products for a few weeks or months (depending on severity), felt better, did the test again, and the result showed an improvement. But you will have to make up your own mind whether you believe in it or not.
Try this simple test to see if you have candida: First thing in the morning, before you put ANYTHING in your mouth, get a clear glass. Fill with water and work up a bit of saliva, then spit it into the glass of water. Check the water every 15 minutes or so for up to one hour.
If you have a problem that ThreeLac, FiveLac and our other anti candida products may help, you will see strings (like legs) traveling down into the water from the saliva floating on the top, or "cloudy" saliva will sink to the bottom of the glass, or cloudy specks will seem to be suspended in the water. If there are no strings and the saliva is still floating after at least one hour, you probably have candida under control. ThreeLac and FiveLac would then be used to maintain good bowel flora and proper pH.

Staying healthy on holiday
Summer is almost here, which means many of us will soon be jetting off to places unknown. Travel comes with its own unique set of health risks, from unfamiliar foods to contaminated water – not to mention fatigue, jet lag, travel sickness and sunburn.

How to maintain health on a vegan diet
Vegan and vegetarian diets are experiencing something of a heyday at the moment. And with good reason: for the most part, humans don't actually need to eat meat. We can easily absorb most of the protein and vitamins we need from plant-based sources, and a lot of us nowadays ingest far more fat and protein […]

Say No to Phony Phone Scam for Missing Jury Duty
Tuesday, March 18, 2014 - 03:36 Updated 1 year ago by WV Attorney General Patrick Morrisey
In the scam, a person calls under the guise of being a representative of a local sheriff's department. The caller tells the citizen that he or she was summoned for jury duty and is now being fined for not showing up on the assigned date. The caller tells the person that if he or she does not immediately pay the fine, it will either increase or a warrant will be issued for his or her arrest.
The caller then asks the citizen to surrender their bank routing number or credit card information so the fine may be paid. The caller also may suggest that the citizen purchase a money order or pre-paid debit card and send it to a "collection agency."
"This type of scam preys on West Virginians who are trying to avoid getting into trouble," Morrisey said. "Scammers are trying to use high-pressure scare tactics to pad their wallet and unfortunately empty yours. Honest West Virginians have received these calls, and some of them thought they were doing the right thing by paying the scammers."
Local county sheriff offices and circuit clerk offices have indicated that this is a scam.
"Citizens should always be concerned if they receive a call out of the blue saying they need to surrender financial information or pay a set amount to avoid legal trouble," Morrisey said. "Always be wary if a caller asks you to wire money or use a pre-paid debit card to pay a surprise bill or fine. Remember, using a money order, wiring money or using a pre-paid card is the same as sending cash. Once the money is sent, it is very hard to track who received it."
Morrisey said citizens who receive a call like this should collect as much information as they can from the caller. Citizens then should call their local circuit clerk's office and sheriff's department to verify that they haven't missed a jury summons. If the call turns out to be false, citizens should file a report with local law enforcement and the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division at 800-368-8808.

South Park, White Center, West Seattle nonprofits you can support during today's GiveBIG donate-a-thon
Again this year, dozens of area nonprofits are participating in today's GiveBIG one-day donate-a-thon coordinated by the Seattle Foundation. The money you give TODAY ONLY to any or all of the participating nonprofits goes beyond face value – it boosts their eligibility for a "stretch pool" of partial matching funds, to be distributed proportionately depending on how much each participating organization raises during GiveBIG, by 11:59 pm tonight.
MEGA-IMPORTANT: You **must** donate through the special pages all participants have on the GiveBIG website, NOT via the organizations' own websites. So here's our list of those special pages for participating South Park, White Center, and West Seattle-based or -founded/-connected nonprofits. The special links take you to pages on the Seattle Foundation website with background information, as well as the donation links to use for this one-day event. Please also note that some organizations require an extra step – the "go here" link takes you to their "fiscal sponsor" or parent organization and then you MUST write the local org's name in the "comments" area. (P.S. Please let us know if we missed a WS, WC, or SP-based organization – post a comment or e-mail us ASAP at our company's main mailbox, email@example.com, so we can check it out – thanks!)

State Ecology accuses cargo-handling company of polluting Duwamish-feeding Hamm Creek
News release from the state Ecology Department:
A Seattle cargo firm faces a $14,000 fine for allowing stormwater with excessive levels of oil and silt to discharge to the North Fork of Hamm Creek, which flows to the Duwamish Waterway in Seattle.
Samson Tug and Barge operates a cargo handling facility at 9228 10th Ave. S. in Seattle. Ecology inspectors have repeatedly observed oily and muddy runoff from the 4.8-acre, partially paved yard, including during site visits in January, February and March of this year.
Samples of the facility's direct stormwater discharge to the creek showed silt content more than a thousand times higher than acceptable levels. The stormwater also contained oil four times above the acceptable level.
The facility is subject to the state's Industrial Stormwater General Permit.
Other permit violations at the site included:
· Failure to produce a stormwater pollution prevention plan, which should describe pollution controls specific to the site.
· Failing to provide an above-ground fuel tank with secondary containment to hold fuel in case of a spill or tank leak.
· Failure to immediately clean up petroleum spills and leaks.
· Allowing vehicles to track dirt onto 10th Ave. S. when exiting the facility.
· Unauthorized discharge of polluted stormwater onto 10th Ave. S., which also drains to the Hamm Creek North Fork.
"By disregarding the basic elements of the stormwater permit, Samson had virtually no measures in place to prevent and control water pollution," said Kevin Fitzpatrick, regional supervisor for Ecology's Water Quality Program. "That led to these violations, including one of the highest readings ever seen in Washington for muddy runoff from an industrial site."
Oil products are toxic to fish and other aquatic and marine life. Silt particles in muddy water can damage fish gills and may carry metals that settle in sediments.
Samson may appeal the penalty to the Washington State Pollution Control Hearings Board.
The Lower Duwamish Waterway is listed as a federal Superfund site due to sediment contamination from PCBs and other compounds. Ecology and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency co-manage the cleanup of the site, which covers a 5-mile stretch along the waterway. Ecology's industrial water compliance efforts support that cleanup.

King County Sheriff's Office K-9 killed on Highway 599
The King County Sheriff's Office is mourning Jimmy the K-9 officer, who was hit and killed overnight. Here's the KCSO news release:
Early this morning, King County Sheriff's Office K9 Jimmy died after being struck by a vehicle along SR 599 in South Park. Jimmy was not tracking at the time. He was a two-year-old black German Shepherd that had been working with the Sheriff's Office since November 2014.
At about 1 am, Deputy Travis Brunner and his partner K9 Jimmy were at Cecil Moses Park in Tukwila getting some exercise while on shift, as they had done many times. Jimmy had his harness and strobe light on but got through a break in a chain link fence and out onto the highway where he was hit by a semi truck. The truck did not stop, unknown if the driver even knew what occurred.

Spoken up about the draft Transportation Levy yet? South Park coffee chat coming up; online meeting; survey…
The city is hoping to hear from you before tweaks are made to the draft Transportation Levy to Move Seattle announced last month. This update includes three major ways you can do that, including one happening right here in South Park:
In March 2015, Mayor Ed Murray introduced a proposal for a nine-year, $900 million levy to replace the existing $365 million Bridging the Gap levy that will expire at the end of 2015. The Transportation Levy to Move Seattle proposal focuses on taking care of the basics, maintaining our streets, bridges, and sidewalks, while also investing in the future with improvements that will provide more transportation choices to move more people and goods around our growing city.
The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) has held three open houses since introducing the levy proposal across the city, and presented it to numerous community and business organizations, in addition to city advisory boards and commissions.
Over the next three weeks, SDOT will host an additional round of opportunities for the public to learn about the proposal and provide feedback. "It's our goal to include community priorities in this importation transportation proposal that Mayor Murray will submit to the City Council in May," said Seattle Department of Transportation Director Scott Kubly.
Here are ways to participate:
1. Take the survey (it is available in multiple languages) to share your transportation priorities at: moveseattlesurvey.com
2. Participate in an online meeting where you'll hear from SDOT Director Scott Kubly and have the opportunity to ask questions on Monday, April 20 from 6 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. Please click here to sign up.
3. Join SDOT Director Scott Kubly for coffee and informal conversation:
• South Park: Via Vadi Caffèe 8600 14th Avenue S on Monday, April 20, 8 to 9 a.m.
City staff will also be providing information and seeking feedback around the city at various locations including farmers markets, community centers, and other public places. For the full list of engagement opportunities and more information on the levy proposal, visit: www.seattle.gov/levytomoveseattle
After Mayor Murray transmits his proposal to the City Council, the Council will deliberate and engage the public throughout the spring. For a levy to be considered for inclusion on the November ballot, the City Council will need to send a final proposal to King County by early August.

Fire response in industrial South Park – but no sign of fire
If you're wondering about the big Seattle Fire response to 7700 2nd Avenue South – so far, while they're finding a "water flow" inside the building, they're not finding any sign of smoke or fire, so most of the units are being dismissed.

BEAUMONT - KFDM talked with the mother and sister of the former marine.
They say even outside of the military he lived a life of service.
"I'm standing on my faith that God will help me get through this to understand that it was his call."
Shirley Owens and her family have lost the person they turned to for everything.
Timothy Owens' mother received the news when a trooper knocked at her door early this morning.
"They told us that he didn't feel anything. It was instant. I thank God for that."
Owens says her son was a good person with a heart of gold.
She proudly showed us a folder of papers and certificates celebrating his accomplishments as a marine.
"Timothy was a good, good child. I didn't have to worry about him at all. He's never been in trouble with the law when he was coming up, he never."
Timothy Owens' sister, Tacoma Bushnell, shared fond memories of her brother.
"I like his little surprise visits. His little sick sense of humor, I call it. He'll sneak up on you, open the door with the key, then say 'Whatcha doing, Whatcha doing?'"
Bushnell says her younger brother was a helper.
"He was a hard worker. He was a good brother. He was a great son to my mom. He helped her a lot."
A mother who now has to lean on her faith to ease the pain.
"It's these times you have to stand on God's words and know that everything's going to be alright. I know he's in a better place now."
From a well-behaved child, to a polished marine.
A son this proud mother calls one of a kind.
"He was just good. My baby."
Timothy Owens graduated from Central High School in 1992.
His family told KFDM he also worked at a drug rehab center and an orphanage.
Owens' mother is asking for prayers for their family and Robert Manning.
----------------------------------------------------------------------ORANGE COUNTY - by Scott Lawrence - The Texas Department of Public Safety has released the name of a Beaumont man killed in a head-on collision in Orange County.
Timothy Owens, 38, of Beaumont, died in the crash at about 5 a.m. Friday on Highway 62.
Robert Manning, 28, of Orange, is in critical condition at Christus Hospital St. Elizabeth.
Troopers say Manning was driving a 2006 Chevrolet truck in the southbound lanes of Highway 62 when he veered into the northbound lanes and struck Owens' 2003 Chrysler car.
A blood specimen was taken from the driver and sent to the DPS Crime Lab for analysis, which is standard procedure in a fatal accident, according to state troopers.
The results from the blood analysis could take between four and six months.
Troopers say they'll investigate all possible factors that may have contributed to the crash.DPS releases name of Beaumont man killed in Orange County crash
