Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199

Right now I've got Cat5e wiring in one central room along with wireless for my laptops. However I've got 100mbps fiber optic service to my house so the wireless connection isn't as good as I'd like.
I'd like to wire up as many rooms as I can for data transmission and potential future addition of running some sort of home-wide DVR/video. The question is what sort of cabling is recommended? I want something that will be somewhat future-proof.
Is Cat5e sufficient? Is anyone using Cat6? Are there alternatives for LAN wiring? I don't know enough about Cat6 yet, but assume I'd have to get new routers and LAN cards...
Any advice appreciated.
I'd hold out on upgrading your wireless until some of the new standards get approved. Having wire run to every room will offer you the ability to plug in when the wireless isn't cutting it.
p.s. I'm jealous of your fiber service. :)
Of course, in time, we'll have HD TV, we'll have HDV replacing Digital Video and that will all take extra bandwidth. But, hey, I can't tell the visual difference between HDV and DV so I'll just keeping piping my video at the quality level I enjoy right now. And I won't feel I've lost anything.
Another thing, if you really have the walls peeled apart, do yourself a favor and get some 1/2" or 3/4" pvc and run yourself some conduit channels from the endpoint to the false ceiling or at least to a point where it is accessible so you can pull more wire in the future if necessary. I bought a small spool of decent string/pull wire and left a strand in each run, just for this purpose.
Plus, if I'm correct that it does gigabit, gigabit NIC's and switches are actually relatively inexpensive these days. Not sure that there's a need for it at home yet, but there you go...:). I'm running cat5e at home and have no problems - including doing large file transfers over the network.
I ordered Cat5e wiring into every room. That does seem to be the best recommendation.
Special thanks to coopster for this:
get some 1/2" or 3/4" pvc and run yourself some conduit channelsI'm getting piping run everywhere so that I won't have to rip my walls apart if I ever need to rewire this network.
When I was doing a similar thing, I made sure to have a outlet and a network connection installed in the linen closet upstairs, and one near the rear of my house in a cabinent. This is because I was not getting good reception upstairs for my WLAN and also not good outside. By adding an AP upstairs, and at the exterior wall in the back of the house, I increased my signal strenght significantly.
There's no harm in at least pulling the wire now to future proof!

After Michael receives a belated message from Adrian (recorded before her mind deteriorated) on how to "deprogram" Nikita, Michael pulls out all the stops to save her. And he needs to do it fast because her "reprogramming" will become permanent in less than a week. While Operations and Madeline try to pin down Michael's time in an undercover mission against terrorist Allesandro Terragamo, Michael arranges for Nikita's mission to go sour. With a "hit team" after her, Operations puts Nikita into hiding (and, thus, out of his immediate watching), allowing Michael to kidnap her. Now with the proper "deprogramming" method from Adrian, Michael sets about to restore Nikita to her former self.
Meanwhile, Michael asks Birkoff to fill in for him on the Terragamo mission, which Birkoff does (with an assist from Walter!).

From July 27th through August 7th selected SMC students participated in the Copernicus Project Summer Science Internship—a partnership between UC-Riverside and SMC—where future math and science teachers were introduced to how to teach (pedagogy skills), writing techniques, the teacher credentialing process, and performed science experiments.
According to Copernicus participant and future science teacher, Michael Conner, "Santa Monica College has enhanced my academic life very much. It has so many rich opportunities available for those students who wish to take advantage of them. The Copernicus Project experience was a one-of-a-kind experience that I will always remember and which will definitely provide me with valuable tools in my journey toward becoming a high school science teacher. The program has been a unique way to interact with my peers and also with highly qualified professors and scientists from the University of California. The two week internship was wonderfully facilitated by a staff of kind, interested and highly professional people. There was a strong personal touch and I felt so honored to be a part of the program."
Another SMC Copernicus participant and future math teacher, Scott Ingwersen, expressed, "The point of the Copernicus Project was to have fun through learning, and we will surely pass on the enthusiasm to our future students. We also thought about how we would incorporate a research-based strategy of how to teach: the "5E" pedagogy lessons (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate) into our own lesson plans and got the chance to test it all out in a supportive environment in our end-of-the-week presentations. This was an amazing experience. I was constantly thinking about how each seminar could be related to a math lesson, so the diversity of topics was not only stimulating but also served to remind me that all the sciences are interrelated."
SMC student Aidan Kronick noted that he was grateful for learning about the Copernicus Project through Dr. Al Solano's future teacher presentation in faculty member Muriel Waugh's Chem 10 class. In addition to all he learned, SMC student and future math teacher, Raulito Gonzalez, looks forward to adding this experience to his transfer application. Science internship experiments at UC-Riverside included:
SMC students interested in the Summer 2007 Copernicus Project Summer Science Institute for future teachers can begin the application process with Dr. Maria Leon-Vazquez at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 310-434-3306. Students interested in teaching in general are encouraged to visit the Teacher Academy at LV 125 (310-434-8198).

A naïve observational viewpoint doesn't automatically try to correct for signal delays. In other words, the time co-ordinate is retarded.
For example:
In popular expositions of relativity you'll find things like "moving observers see each other's clocks as running slow". If you're lucky it's made clear that "see" is not the everyday, well-understood meaning, but is technical jargon that involves correcting for signal delays. Often this point will be buried, sometimes it is not mentioned at all, and sometimes expositors just get confused on this point. (Even competent ones!)
Anyway, even if it makes it clear that this isn't what you actually see, it won't tell you what you do actually see. This is unfortunate because it doesn't seem like a very esoteric fact to me that oncoming clocks run fast. Is there a good low-level exposition that covers this, and other basic phenomena of special relativity, as they naïvely appear?

Chula Vista looks to make strengthen law regulating adult industry
City suing Eyecandy Showgirls
CHULA VISTA, Calif. - Chula Vista officials may soon be rewriting a law after they say the city was deceived by the strip club Eyecandy Showgirls.
Eyecandy Showgirls is the only place in San Diego County offering full nude lap dances. Unfortunately, for the city of Chula Vista, the gentlemen's club sits right off E Street, which the city calls a "gateway entrance" to the heart of town.
The club is also right across the street from the Living Coast Discovery Center, which is a popular destination for schools and families.
"Having parents try to explain what that business is … that's not cool," said Chula Vista City Councilwoman Mary Salas. "I'd like to see it gone. I'd like to see Eyecandy gone from that location."
Salas said Chula Vista can't force the place to shut down.
"As a matter of fact, we have to be very, very careful with that," she said. "However, we can regulate where those businesses go."
In July, the Chula Vista City Council will vote on an updated ordinance that would prevent places like Eyecandy from opening in certain parts of town.
The city is already suing the owners, with city attorneys claiming Eyecandy lied on its application about the true nature of the business. It was originally going to be a comedy club.
An attorney representing the city said, "Eyecandy did not meet the City's locational standards when it opened and if this new ordinance is adopted Eyecandy will remain at a site that still does not meet the locational standards of the City."
Yet the club is operating and advertising all-nude lap dances -- illegal in Chula Vista -- on its Facebook and Twitter pages. The owners have claimed it's their First Amendment right.

Twitter Helps Sell an Undiscovered Wine Region
When Charlottesville, VA, was picked as the site for the 2011 Wine Bloggers Conference, West Coast wine bloggers groaned. The choice of venues put a tannic taste in the event organizers' mouths, even before the first sips of vino were taken: At the three previous conferences, which were held in Sonoma and Napa, CA and Walla Walla, WA, 75% of the attendees were from California.
For Annette Boyd, executive director of the Virginia Wine Board Marketing Office, each of those groans represented the challenge of building interest among potential West Coast attendees. Her office used a variety of virtual events to generate interest initially in Virginia wines, and ultimately in the event itself.
The Virginia Wine Board, a booster organization for Old Dominion State wineries, decided on a Twitter-centric marketing strategy. As Boyd puts it, Facebook pages are excellent for talking to people a marketer already knows: They are customer loyalty and relationship building tools. Not that the Virginia Wine Board eschews Facebook: Its efforts have garnered it nearly 6200 likes.
But Twitter is excellent for talking to people a marketer should know, she says. It's key for new converts, as it provides access to like-minded people a marketer might not otherwise cross paths with. And, she notes, most bloggers communicate via Twitter.
Boyd's office already owned the @VAWine Twitter handle (which has almost 800 followers), used the #vawine hashtag, and had been building followers through local-focused commentary and contests. Between October 2010 and July 2011, Boyd's office coordinated four "Twitter Tastings" – events in which prominent national bloggers were sent samples of Virginia wines. The bloggers were chosen based on a variety of factors related to their online influence, such as the number of followers they had. According to Boyd, the 10 bloggers chosen to receive six wine samples for the first event had 31,527 followers.
Through TasteLive, an online wine and beer tasting community, the Virginia Wine Board found bloggers, set a tasting schedule, retained a moderator and provided 15-minute forums for representatives from winemakers to answer questions. Each wine was duly uncorked, tasted and commented upon, and that first event generated 541 tweets, representing—according to Boyd—more than 1.2 million potential impressions.
Twenty-four Virginia winemakers participated in one of the four Twitter tasting events leading up to the Virginia conference. Before participating, each winemaker had to develop a handle, and become experienced in Twitter use. This gave them direct access to the bloggers during the tasting.
By the last of the four events, the Virginia Wine Board had migrated off TasteLive and onto Tweetdeck, which Boyd says is more familiar to Twitter users. The number of tweets jumped to 1,213 for the event, and the bloggers were communicating with nearly 87,000 followers. Potential reach, Boyd estimates, was just under 3 million impressions. And that's before figuring in what Boyd calls "a really nice bump in our website traffic"—which jumped from 2.5 million page views in 2010 to 2.86 million page views in 2011.
While impressions are nice, they don't put dollars in the pockets of wine producers. Sales do, and Virginia collects a $3.60 per case excise tax from wineries or distributors. While it isn't possible to directly correlate sales activity with the Virginia Wine Board's marketing activities, tax collection showed sales bumps of around 11% coinciding with the times the Board was active.
The Main Event
The pre-event buzz the Virginia Wine Board generation paid off: By the time the Wine Bloggers' Conference rolled around in late July, it was a sellout. Three hundred thirty six oenophiles from 21 states and four countries paid between $95 and $295 (depending on their level of professional affiliation) to attend.
While in previous years three quarters of the attendees had come from California, in 2011 only 30% were from the Golden State, while 31% came from Virginia or surrounding areas and 17% were from the Northeast—a considerably more geographically diverse population than in years past.
The three-day event, which included dinners, winery tours and tastings, generated more than 15,000 tweets with either the #wbc11 hashtag (which designated the event itself) or the #vawine hashtag, representing 43.5 million potential impressions.
The conference also generated 129 blog posts, and several follow-up articles in prominent media outlets.
As a result, says Boyd, Virginia was put on the map of U.S. wine-producing states, and it has earned a place in wine conversations.

"The core tenets of corporate social responsibility complement both our diplomatic and development efforts. Our history has shown that we are most effective when we see the harmony between our interests abroad and our values at home." – Hillary Rodham Clinton
The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) team in the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs (EB) plays a leading role in the Department's engagement with U.S. business in the promotion of responsible and ethical business practices.
The team:
- Promotes a comprehensive approach to CSR in consultation with our embassies abroad, and other bureaus and agencies;
- Provides guidance and support for American companies engaging in socially responsible, forwardthinking corporate activities; and
- Partners with the business community, trade unions, associations, NGOs, and other members of civil society to encourage the adoption and implementation of corporate policies that help companies "do well by doing good."
Support and Promotion of the OECD MNE Guidelines: The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (MNE), newly updated in 2011, are voluntary recommendations for responsible business conduct, based on a binding commitment among governments with significant input from labor, civil society, and business. EB is the home to the U.S. OECD National Contact Point. The Guidelines are addressed to MNEs to enhance the private sector's contribution to sustainable development in the following areas:
- Information Disclosure
- Human Rights
- Employment and Industrial Relations
- Environment
- Combating Bribery
- Consumer Interests
- Science and Technology
- Competition
- Due Diligence and Supply Chains
OECD National Contact Point: The United States and the other 41 governments adhering to the Guidelines have created National Contact Points (NCP) to further the effectiveness of the Guidelines. The U.S. NCP has the following responsibilities:
- Promote the Guidelines among business, labor, and other non-governmental stakeholders, including the general public, and the international community.
- Respond to inquiries and comments from stakeholders and others about the Guidelines.
- Offer a forum for discussion for stakeholders and governments to contribute to resolution of issues regarding observance of the Guidelines.
- Governance: The Kimberley Process (KP) is a joint initiative of governments, industry, and civil society to stem the flow of conflict diamonds through establishing governance and improving transparency in the rough diamond trade.

Food Photos: For Love and Bragging Rights
By root on April 08, 2010 5:35 AM
The debate about whether or not diners should photograph their food is nothing new. The should we, shouldn't we game is old news—the point is that people are. Lots of them. All the time. They are posting to Facebook, to Twitter, to their own blogs. The Times detailed the trend in a long piece yesterday, an obsessives gallery par excellence. Here at 7x7, we're of the "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" school of thought, which is why when we released our Big Eat list back in February, we partnered with Foodspotting, challenging our biggest eaters to keep a visual record of all of the dishes from the list that they tried.

Fredrik Jacobson of Sweden shot a 6-under-par 65 for a share of the lead with Sang-Moon Bae of South Korea going into the weekend at the Northern Trust Open at Riviera in Los Angeles.
LOS ANGELES — A move down the California coast hasn't hurt Fredrik Jacobson.
One week after his best PGA Tour finish in more than a year, the Swede birdied the two toughest holes at Riviera Country Club on his way to a 6-under-par 65 Friday and a share of the lead with Sang-Moon Bae of South Korea going into the weekend at the Northern Trust Open.
Jacobson did just about everything well, from his tee shots to his iron play, just what it takes to get around the classic design of Riviera. And it helps to get a little luck, such as a 55-foot birdie from just off the green at No. 9 that bumped along until disappearing into the hole.
"That was probably the biggest bonus of the day," Jacobson said.

Bae (65) started his round on the back nine and opened with four straight birdies.
They were at 9-under 133 for 36 holes, one shot clear of John Merrick (66) and John Rollins (65).
Ryan Moore (67) of Puyallup was tied for ninth place at 5 under. Seattle native Fred Couples (72) was tied for 26th at 2 under.
Players with scores of 145 and worse missed the cut, including ex-Washington Huskies player Troy Kelly (78-74 — 152).
Luke Donald (66), playing his first PGA Tour event in two months, twice chipped in for birdies and was in fifth place at 7 under.
Phil Mickelson was lurking, despite a sloppy double bogey on the 10th hole. Mickelson (67) was five shots off the lead.
Jacobson, 38, has chronic back issues that seemingly are under control.
Since his lone victory at the 2011 Travelers Championship, he has two top 10s in official PGA Tour events — a tie for eighth in Hartford as the defending champion and his tie for seventh last week at Pebble Beach.
"I obviously take a lot out of that, just being in contention again," Jacobson said. "I've had some good practice sessions before, but to bring it on the course and play under pressure, that's what it's about."

How do you get 2.5 year old twins to stay in their beds and go to sleep at bed/nap time?
We've recently moved the twins to toddler beds. They sleep in the same room. My son Landon would stay in his bed and sleep just fine if his twin sister wouldnt keep getting out of the bed to play. How do we get our daughter to stay in her bed and go to sleep?

I used to be a director of a daycare that would get 14 toddlers to sleep on cots at the same time. The key is consistency. You need to plan to spend at least 2 weeks of naptime in the room with your kids. I know its not ideal but those 2 weeks will lend you to years of naps! Just sit in the room with the kids and every time they open their eyes or attempt to get up, remind them "shut your eyes and lay down" You may even need to physically put them back in bed. They will eventually give up and go to sleep. They key is to be back in bedroom before they wake up so they think you were in there the whole time. As the days pass, you'll have to spend less and less time in there and eventually you'll be able to put them down and leave them be. Good luck!posted 12/21/2008 by mkwendel
I cannot believe that no one has replied to this. I actually was just out searching for information on this very topic. Here we are in the exact situation you were one year ago. My twins, also b/g, sleep in the same bed. If not for our daughter, our son would probably not get out of bed. Separating them is not an option since our house is so small. What can we do? Our daughter is very strong-minded and time-outs don't seem to work. We get so frustrated and find ourselves raising our voices but that doesn't work either. If you made it through this time with some helpful advise from others, please pass it my way. We are desperate to find a solution.posted 12/20/2008 by melbourne66

Recreation: Kenya
Water for Africa
- Region

by Drew Denzin, Ololulunga, Kenya
Water is used only for bathing, drinking or cooking, and watering cattle. We have not seen anyone enjoying the river recreationally. Children entertain themselves in other "land locked" ways.
by John and Kim Shumlansky, Mount Kenya National Forest, Kenya
It is rare to find children playing in the streams by our village, because the water is too cold. Kangaita is located about one degree south of the Equator, but is also at about 9,000 feet above sea level. At this elevation, Kangaita is one of the coldest inhabited areas in Kenya. Furthermore, the water in the streams by Kangaita originates from the glaciers on Mount Kenya, and the water does not warm up much on its short journey to our village. The temperature of the water helps to keep it clean, but it is way too cold for children to play and swim in.
by Melissa Perry, Oyugis, Kenya
Since water is sometimes scarce in my community, children don't play games with water. Most small children are brought to a stream nearby with their mamas and they bathe in this stream. During this time the children swim and play in the water.
by Bryce Sitter, Mobile Clinic, Kajiado, Kenya
The last time it rained I did see kids playing in some water. It is also one of the few times I saw cars being washed.
by Barbara Hinsman, Vigeze Village, Vihiga, Kenya
I rarely see water being used for recreation by Maragoli people. In fact, many people I know are afraid of water and do not know how to swim. This may be due to the lack of ponds and lakes in the immediate area. It is interesting to compare the Maragoli to the Luo people in that respect. The Luos, who have lived on the shores of Lake Victoria since they arrived in East Africa thousands of years ago, are fond of water. Every time I go to Kisumu, a nearby city on the lake, I always see naked Luo children splashing about in ponds by the side of the road. When Maragoli people who live only 20 km (13 miles) away see this, they think it is very funny and inappropriate behavior. I imagine the Luos also laugh when they learn of Maragolis who are afraid of water and swimming. It is amazing to think that these two tribes still have opposite personalities despite the fact that they have lived in such proximity to each other for so long.
by Patrick Campbell, Mombasa, Kenya
Living on the ocean, many people will, of course, swim. Most of the water recreation on the coast is enjoyed by tourists who have the time and the money to sail, windsurf, snorkel, and dive.
The locals fish, but more as a source of food and income than of recreation.
by David Frommell, Bagoo, Rift Valley Province, Kenya
Water-based recreation is uncommon in Kericho District. In rural communities where the local water source is the nearby river or stream, children can often be found bathing and splashing in the water.
Kericho Town boasts only one operational swimming pool, which is fenced in at the exclusive Tea Hotel. Built by the Brooke Bond Kenya tea company, the luxurious hotel sits above the Brooke Bond tea fields, approximately one kilometer from Kericho town center. The hotel, originally used by the white owners of Brooke Bond to house visitors from the United Kingdom, is now owned and managed by Kenyans.

In official document presented to Prime Minister Olmert, minister for strategic affairs draws red lines ahead of US-sponsored Mideast peace conference; says 'holy basin' in Jerusalem must remain in Israel's hands
Ronny Sofer
Published: 10.28.07, 07:30 / Israel News
Ronny Sofer
1. Israel's permanent borders will be based on historic, security-related, demographic and geographic parameters.
2. Any future diplomatic agreement must guarantee the State of Israel's Jewish, Zionist and democratic nature.
3. Any future diplomatic agreement will include recognition of the permanent borders by the international community, the neighboring countries, and the Palestinians.
4. Any future diplomatic agreement will include a clause guaranteeing the end of the conflict, meaning no mutual demands in the future.
Lieberman demanded that Olmert determine Jerusalem's borders in a way that will leave the "holy basin" under full Israeli sovereignty, while implementing the religious ritual arrangements.
The borders of the "holy basin", according to Lieberman: From the east: The Mount of Olives and Mount Scopus; from the north: Sheikh Jarrah; from the south: Silwan and Mount Zion. The territory and population exchange principle will also apply to the refugee camps and villages near Jerusalem.
Lieberman opposed the issue of a safe crossing between Gaza and the West Bank.
"The State of Israel will not allow a passage between Gaza and Judea and Samaria through its sovereign territory. This situation is similar to the reality which existed before June 4, 1967, as well as the reality before the establishment of the State of Israel."
Addressing the refugee issue, the Yisrael Beiteinu chairman ruled that "the State of Israel will not allow the right of return, not on the level of principles and not in humanitarian cases. This issue is definite and will not be negotiated."
Lieberman also outlined the principles guiding his party: "Entering negotiations on the permanent agreement requires first and foremost obtaining security for the State of Israel and a significant improvement in the Palestinians' economic situation.
"Any attempt to force a diplomatic arrangement before a substantial drop in terrorist activities, particularly the Qassam fire, and in a reality in which there is an unemployment rate of more than 80% on the Palestinian side – is destined to fail.
"A salutation to the conflict must be based on an agreement to exchange territories and populations, and the creation of a reality of two homogenous nation-states, so as not to create a situation in which the Palestinians have a state and a half and the Jews have half a state.
"This principle is crucial, particularly in light of the vision presented by the Israeli Arab Higher Monitoring Committee. We must not accept a reality in which a Palestinian state will be established without one Jew, while the State of Israel turns into a bi-national state with more than 20% minorities."
The minister also ruled that "the State of Israel's permanent borders will guarantee the continuation of the Jewish majority and the democratic regime, and will provide security for all its citizens.
"The permanent agreement which will be signed between the parties will constitute a joint and international agreement and will replace Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338. The international community is committed to be a side in the agreement, while providing guarantees and being actively involved in security-related, diplomatic and economic issues."
Lieberman also demanded that NATO forces be stationed in the territories should the Palestinians fail to create an effective security system to halt terrorist activities. He added that the United States and the European Union must invest directly in the Palestinian economy in order to guarantee an appropriate standard of living and workplaces for the Palestinians.
In his document, Lieberman ruled that the conflict was not territorial, but rather national-religious, and compared the situation to that in Kosovo, the Balkan peninsula and northern Ireland

Energized from the previous week's 49-14 blowout against Nampa, Kuna fans were ready for a great game against Skyview. For the first half, the fans were not let down.
As two big storms brewed over Boise and Emmett to the north, threatening lightning and rain, the game began with all the fanfare of a college game. After stopping Kuna on their first drive, Skyview scored first on a 13-yard pass. Kuna followed quickly with a 5-yard Ben Ruwe pass to Jacob Kellog but they failed to cross the goal line on the 2-point conversion. Then things got really exciting. Skyview's Hagen Graves ran back a 90-yard kickoff but the Hawks missed the kick. Kuna answered with a 3-yard run by Kellog and then a 19-yard pass to Spencer Trautman ending the first quarter with Kuna in the lead 20-13. That was the last time Kuna led.
The game went back and forth down the field with exciting turnovers, breaking runs and great catches but slowly, the tide turned. Kuna fans watched as Skyview methodically drove downfield and put 14 more points on the board in the second quarter. A scary moment came with 2:50 left in the half as Spencer Trautman went down with an injury. (Fans were relieved when he was back in the game for the second half.)
The fan and player energy was high and low, with every turnover giving advantage to the other team. The storms continued to creep towards Kuna and a big rainbow formed as the half wrapped up with Kuna going to the locker room down seven.
As the sun set during halftime the clouds started spitting on the fans. Returning to the field, there was a different Kuna team for the second half. Skyview seemed to control the game with Hawks running back Jaxon Pryor breaking tackles and needing multiple Kuna players to bring him down on every run.
As the defense allowed seven points in the third and 22 points in the fourth quarter the Kuna offense floundered with the offensive line giving up five sacks by Skyview. Although there were some questionable calls, or lack of calls, by the referees, it is doubtful that it would have made a difference in the game. Skyview's strategy of eating up the clock during the fourth quarter kept Kuna from any attempt at a rally. To add insult to injury, the Skyview student section started mocking Kuna fans with chants of "We're not Nampa" and "It's all over."
During the last minute of the game Kuna managed to put six more points on the board
taking advantage of several penalties against Skyview with a 14-yard Ruwe pass to Zach
Cronk, but again failed in the 2-point attempt.
Skyview's defense managed to keep Kuna to 92 yards rushing and 271 yards passing. Kuna's defense allowed 170 yards rushing and 269 yards passing. Spencer Trautman continued to lead the yardage for Kuna with 54 yards on 11 carries and six catches for 136 yards.
This Friday night Kuna travels to Middleton.

A hemothorax is a collection of blood in the space between the chest wall and the lung. The medical term for this space is the pleural cavity. It is also called the pleural space. The most common cause for this condition is a chest injury. It can also happen from:
Diseases in the chest.
Blood clotting problems.
Taking blood thinning medicine.
Cancer of the chest.
Lung and heart surgeries.
Mild cases of hemothorax may clear without treatment in a couple weeks. More severe hemothorax may require surgical treatment. Because the blood compresses the lung and takes up space, some of the symptoms from this are:
Rapid, difficult breathing and shortness of breath.
Rapid heart rate, anxiety, and restlessness.
The blood pressure may be low and not high enough to support life.
Sometimes with a hemothorax there is also pneumothorax. This means air in the chest. The air is not in the lung but is located outside the lung between the lung and the chest wall. When this happens it can cause added problems because the necessary lung space is taken up by something that is preventing the lungs from working.
Your caregiver can usually tell what is wrong by examination and a chest X-ray.
If a hemothorax is mild, it may be watched to see if it will get better without treatment.
A more severe case may require having a tube put in to drain the pleural space of the lung. This is called a thoracostomy. It may also be called a chest tube or chest drain.
If bleeding continues, surgery may be required to go into the chest to stop the bleeding. Opening the chest is called a thoracotomy.

Kuna residents who use either pressurized or gravity fed irrigation water will have their water turned off on August 21 for the 2013 season. Due to a dry year, the overall water allotment for water rights holders was dramatically reduced this year.
Potable water that residents use for drinking and some for yards, those who have no access to irrigation water, will see no change.
Predictions of an August 23 shutoff were quite accurate earlier this summer when the Boise Project Board of Control upped the irrigation allotment from 1 acre foot to 1.4 acre feet.

Re: WWE 2007: UTF - The Inevitable Return
WWE Monday Night Raw
Alright, off the bat, I'm loving Raw. Finally seems like the Triple H / Batista feud has hit top gear, and Batista using the trademark weapon of Triple H to send a message through Shane … P-E-R-S-O-N-A-L. This thing just kicked up a level, but you need to keep it cooking, and Triple H needs to come after The Animal in a big way next week to keep the feud simmering. I'd guess with Shane being the victim tonight, this could potentially lead to Shane vs. Batista in a few months down the road. That could be special when it comes to pass.
Hmm, title shot for Priceless next week in MSG. It does sound like it'd fit for the titles to change hands, but I hope they don't. I made that point last week, so I'll not harp on, but I'm hoping that the alluding to a title change is just a smokescreen. The champs retaining would work better too, as Priceless could use that to get really frustrated, having their 'destiny' taken away from them.
I guess that the Dykstra / Cryme Tyme angle has been dropped, with Kenny focusing on Holly instead?? That could be for the best. Dykstra could well build his credibility by taking a couple more wins from the veteran instead.
Cant wait for Mickie and Beth at Summerslam. Didn't care for the squash, but it does show the dominance of Beth at her best. If that one gets enough time, it'll go down as one of the great womens matches in WWE history.
WHOA!!! DID NOT see the title switch coming. Shelton Benjamin truly is 'The Gold Standard', but I hope this win doesn't mark the end of the Gold Standard tag team. I'd settle for a friendly rivalry over the title, but ultimately they're too awesome to split so soon. Shocked to see Matt Hardy beaten though, as he doesn't appear to be getting much luck running up to his big Summerslam match. Odd.
The segment with the Hardys has me thinking Matt just might turn on his brother next week on Raw. He's lost a couple of matches in a row, and he's lost his title … he might just snap imo, which could help the final push toward Summerslam.
Surprised to see you bringing in new faces to Raw, especially with the rosters currently loaded with a lot of bodies. Kevin Thorn is okay, but he needs the sexy Ariel by his side to be deemed interesting
. Another loss for Marella, and I suspect he'll keep this run going for a long, long time, with plenty of comedy sprinkled in along the way.
Great intensity from Jericho, who can pull that side of his character off brilliantly. I guess there will be hell to pay for the Punt last week too. As for the guest on the Highlight Reel next week?? Why not Bob Orton, just to make things interesting.
Six man tag next week looks epic, hopefully though there is a winner, and not the cop out of a no contest or a DQ
Decent win for Kennedy, over the glorified jobber, and it makes sense for Kennedy to face Kane here, and even more sense to go over. He's on the way up, Kane is on the way down, he's got a big match at Summerslam, Kane hasn't. Despite Takers attack after the match, Kennedy is surely going to have the last laugh at Summer slam … and so he should. He's set to be the next big star in the thread, and a win over Taker would be priceless. Not many will be able to say they've beaten Cena and Taker on consecutive PPV events.
Heh, someone just tried to wipe out Vince?? It'd be too obvious to be Batista. I'm gonna say it's whoever was REALLY behind what went down with The Undertaker. I'd dare say if that is the case, whoever it is could well take out one or two others before the reveal finally comes to pass. If that's the case, you've got a white hot angle on your hands.
Feels like we're in for a terrific show from MSG next week, with three big matches, Highlight Reel and Vinces big announcement. 'Must See' springs to mind.
Friday Night Smackdown
I hope this isn't what we get for M.V.P's tour of greatness every week, otherwise it'll be a tour of mediocrity. I love the idea, but in delivery, at the very least he should be facing local legends to make it seem like a worthy weekly addition. Otherwise, what's the point of your champion beating jobbers every week??
Porter still hiding behind Zeke, surely at some point, Edge will get his hands on him?? Seems like Big Zeke will have a big future in the thread once he leaves MVP's side, as he's being built as a real force so far.
Winning start for M&M, what was to be expected tbh, and good to see the Helms angle intertwined with this, as he continues to try and wipe out the cruiserweight division. Who will be the man to step up and take on Helms??
Not into the tag team feud at all really, but it's good to see the union between JBL and Finlay. Christian just seems to be treading water in the thread. He's not a main eventer, but he's not a mid carder. Seems to be stuck in some kind of purgatory, going neither up or down.
Makes sense for Michaels to air his views on Flair, and I suspect the match at Summerslam will just be the beginning of a long running rivalry between the two legends. Hopefully that's the case. Looks like HBK has had a fire lit under him though, and it'll be great to see an incensed Michaels @ Summerslam.
For now, not much to go on, but as you said, the reasons for this match will become clear in the near future. Kingston vs. Masters doesn't really capture the imagination or the attention like other feuds, but who knows, if it is built nicely, it could well elevate one, or possibly at a stretch, both men.
See my comments from last week on the Noble situation.
The even Steven build continues for the I.C Title picture, as this week, London pins Haas. I'm a fan of this build, but ultimately, it's solid at best, but by the numbers build for what promises to be an awesome match at Summerslam for the title.
Again, see my comments from last week on the Prototype situation.
Layfield aint messing with Jeff at all. He's barred from Raw, AND faces a handicap match next week. Not sure how much sense it makes for JBL to threaten to suspend Jeff if he loses at Summerslam, since if that happens, JBL is gone, and the new GM could easily lift the suspension. Turning into a very rocky road to 'Slam for the Hardy Boys, but a very interesting one. Hopefully the end result ties all this carnage together in a neat little package. Just don't know how to call this one.
I cant tell you how much I loved the Flair sit down interview. You need to do more of this kind of thing, and the Batista stuff on Raw, as you pull it off really well. Glad to see Flair acknowledging he was used by Triple H, as that may well plant the seeds for a possible feud between the two somewhere down the road. Again, please do more of this kind of thing to sell the feuds, as it … works.
Don't see RVD choosing Raw @ MSG, but I'm absolutely clueless as to where he fits in on either brand. It's good that you're making a big deal of it though, as it'll make Van Dam seem really important, and instantly a main attraction.
By the numbers main event, and the DQ finish was disappointing, but made sense to happen. I'd rather have seen a result of some sort though, even through some kind of convoluted finish. Little surprised this ended the show, as the feud has been put across as filler for the last few weeks, whilst one of the main angles was brushed off in the opening segment of the show.

It's hairy crab season in Shanghai from October to December and all Shanghainese go crazy for them, whether they buy them from the wet market to cook at home or choose the more expensive option of dining in one of many crab restaurants. I won't go in to too much detail on the crab topic because Swiss James has done a fine job of it in his recent blog post on the subject, so I'll just give a plug to the specialist crab restaurant I always go to each year, right by my office on Jiu Jiang Road close to The Bund.
I generally eat them at home as eating out prices are nothing short of insanity for these delicacies. The only time I eat crabs outside is when I have out of town visitors or occasionally, when the meal is work related. And luckily, we had a senior visitor last week from Taiwan who wanted to eat crab.
Cheng long hang xie wang fu (成隆行蟹王府) is a fairly premium hairy crab restaurant that opens all year round but is most busy during the peak crab season. It's very popular with Asian tourists, especially from Japan. In fact, after a quick browse on Trip Advisor I discovered 5 reviews for this restaurant and all 5 were in Japanese!
Prices started from 388 RMB per head and went up to 1388 RMB per head which is just silly if you ask me when you can get these in supermarkets for less than 20 RMB. However, all set meals do include a large number of dishes that are made with various parts of the crab (as well as shark fin soup), and everyone gets a whole crab each which they will "de-shell" for you if you like.
The sales technique of the waitresses is not particularly sophisticated. In fact, it was downright disgraceful. After we indicated our choice of the 388 rmb set menu, she basically started to try an upsell us by saying that the meal we chose was really not good and "all the food in that menu were very very ordinary and the crab is very very small"!
I wanted to say "I don't work in the banking industry where the big bonuses and good times seem to be back again, I work in market research so we're lucky to be here on company expenses at all". But I think that would have been lost on her so we just said it's okay, we're used to mediocrity.
The meal of course, was excellent, it's just a pity you have to go through the whole rigmorole of sales banter at the beginning which might spoil it for some people. I should add that 388 rmb per person is what some people in China earn in a month!

I had planned on writing a bit on where the Red Wings should go from here, following their first-round loss to the Nashville Predators, but over at TPL Petrella already has a nearly-perfect post up so I'm not going to waste time just repeating him.
There's an entry in the A2Y Glossary for "The Summer of Ken." A little bit of an ode to Detroit general manager Ken Holland. Put briefly, the summer is Holland's time to shine. It's when he can spend Mike Ilitch's pizza money to plug holes in the Wings' roster. It's when he can wheel and deal, turning spare parts into something useful.
This summer we're going to find out just how good Holland is at his job.
Last year the Red Wings were a little underwhelming in the offseason. They replaced Brian Rafalski with Ian White at a good price and added Mike Commodore for some grit. They retained Patrick Eaves and Drew Miller and Jonathan Ericsson. We were told that they wanted to add more scoring but none was available for the price.
That was okay. The Wings had plenty of cap space, still, and would be able to make a move at the trade deadline. It was good to wait to see who would be available as a rental.
Detroit's lone deadline acquisition: defenseman Kyle Quincey. Even knowing the outcome, knowing he didn't play as well as anyone had hoped down the stretch, I'm not against this move. Quincey is not a rental (he'll either be back or be moved, as an RFA he can't bolt for free). The first-rounder traded for him will be after all the blue-chip prospects are off the board.
Quincey didn't fix the Wings' scoring issues, though.
By the time the trade deadline had passed, Detroit's forward corps remained unchanged. Holland addressed the media and seemed unhappy that he hadn't been able to make a move, so we know he tried, but that doesn't mean a whole lot.
Now we enter an offseason where the Red Wings need to make changes. As Petrella notes, teams have the "Red Wings Way" figured out. Now Detroit needs to evolve. And I worry that Holland can do it.
Name a free agent signing that Holland has made since the salary cap was implemented that really made a splash. Ignore Marian Hossa, since everyone knew going in that it was a one-year deal and he'd be gone the next summer.
The aforementioned White? Hardly a splash no matter how well it worked out. Dominik Hasek? No one else was after him. Todd Bertuzzi?
True, Holland hasn't been working with the same kind of cap space as he'll have this summer, but his record does leave a bit to be desired.
Now lets look at trades. Per Petrella, the Wings have a lot of roster spots taken for next season already. One way to make room for new blood while adding the scorer the team needs could be to deal depth for talent.
Holland hasn't made a significant trade since the 2008 deadline, when he acquired Brad Stuart from the Los Angeles Kings. That's another piece of track record that could be concerning.
I'm not saying Holland should be fired. He's done a fantastic job of keeping Detroit's core together and supplementing it with parts off the scrap heap. Danny Cleary and Mikael Samuelsson and Todd Bertuzzi? Hasek and Chris Osgood? Classic Holland moves that paid off over time for the Wings.
Right now, though, the Red Wings aren't looking to plug holes, they're looking to reload. They need high-profile pieces to make an immediate impact.
It's a situation that Holland hasn't faced, at least not in the cap era. I think it will define his career. It will probably define the Red Wings as a team for years to come.

Wiki > Main > DeviceDetection (compare)
Difference: DeviceDetection (r97 vs. r96)
Device Detection
Device Detection
We can detect the type of player that a user has using the USB VID and PID that they identify to the system. To do this, we need to know the VID:PID of all the models Rockbox supports. Since there are conflicts with the usb ids, rbutil also uses other detection methods to detect a device.
Ideas for new Autodetection schemes
The current Autodetection is pretty dumb and needs improvements. So i will try to describe a new better scheme here. Feel free to edit and change.
Start with scanning the USB-IDs of the connected Devices. This can identify all targets where we know the USB-IDs, but as there are devices with duplicate ids, it might give us more then one possible Target for a given USB-ID. At moment it is also not possible to map a USB-ID to a mountpoint on all 3 major OS. But at least it gives us a hint at what targets we have to search for. There might be also Targets without (known) USB-ID, so we have to add those to the list of possible targets.
Next we scan all possible mountpoints and try the following detection methods. The results from this is merged with our list of possible targets.
Now we analyse our list of possible targets, and check if all devices are fully detected, ie have only one target name, and exactly one mountpoint. If not, we try the target specific detection methods (ipodpatcher, etc) for the targets where we still need more info. The results are again merged into the list.
Finally we remove those entries from the list which dont have a USB-ID, and are still without other info and present the rest to the user.
Work in progress graph to visualize the possibilities: digraph G { graph [bgcolor="#b6c6e5"]; start -> usb [label="no mountpoint,\n 1..n devices" fontsize=8] usb -> mountpoints [label="1..n possible mountpoints,\n 1..n devices" fontsize=8]
mountpoints -> ipodpatcher [label="1 mountpoint,\n 1 device,\n ipod only" fontsize=8 color=yellow] mountpoints -> sansapatcher [label="1 mountpoint\n 1 device\n sansa only" fontsize=8 color=yellow] mountpoints -> "rockbox-info.txt" [label="1 mountpoint\n 1..n devices\n only if already installed", fontsize=8, color=yellow] mountpoints -> "rbutil.log" [label="1 mountpoint,\n 1 device,\n only if already installed" fontsize=8 color=yellow] mountpoints -> "player-specific files" [label="1 mountpoint,\n 1 device\n not always working" fontsize=8 color=yellow]
"rockbox-info.txt" -> end [color=yellow] "rbutil.log" -> end [label="unique match" color=yellowgreen, fontsize=8] ipodpatcher -> end [label="ipods only", color=yellowgreen, fontsize=8] sansapatcher -> end [label="sansas only\n (not e200r)", color=yellowgreen, fontsize=8] "player-specific files" -> end [label="only a few players,\nnot reliable", color=yellowgreen, fontsize=8]
start [shape=box, style=filled, color=red] sansapatcher [shape=box, color=orange, style=filled] ipodpatcher [shape=box, color=orange, style=filled] "rbutil.log" [shape=box,style=filled,color=yellowgreen] "player-specific files" [shape=box,style=filled,color=yellowgreen] end [shape=box,style=filled,color=green] }
Detection methods
Here is a list of all currently known detection methods. The best way to combine them has still to be found.
Device-specific detection
Here's a table of detection methods for the different devices. Items in Red are at the moment not possible to detect.
Please help me to fill in the blanks. If you have a idea to detect a device (all red device cant be detected at moment), write it here.
USB IDs
Here's a table of USB IDs. Items in Red are duplicates.
Finding USB IDs
In Windows
Please help me to fill in the blanks. Attach your device to your Windows computer and run usbids from a Windows command line to get a list of devices and their IDs attached to your system. Use the Device Manager to figure out which device is your USB disk, and edit the table above.
In Linux
Linux users can use 'lsusb' or in the /sys/devices tree as follows:
After you plug in the device, you should see a line in syslog similar to this:
scsi.agent[31802]: disk at /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.3/usb1/1-4/1-4:2.0/host3/target3:0:0/3:0:0:0
Looking in /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.3/usb1/1-4/ you'll see a group of pseudofiles. Among them are 'idProduct' and 'idVendor', those are the ID numbers listed here.

Watch Thor The Dark World Online :
The god of thunder is back for another spin in the Marvel movie universe with "Thor: The Dark World," but will the sequel to 2011's "Thor" get hammered by critics, or will it be at the center of a perfect storm of adoration?
The central characters from the first film are all back for round two — Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Loki (Tom Hiddleston), Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), Darcy (Kat Dennings) and Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgard) are all present and accounted for, but this time even the intern has an intern (hi, Jonathan Howard) and there are a few dark elves running around (Christopher Eccleston) to add interest.Being a god must be tough as it is. Being a god thrust with the challenge of playing out a Hollywood superhero must be tougher. Most of the comicbook lot that come with super powers wrapped in their capes are nothing short of screen gods anyway.
Chris Hemsworth's hammer-brandishing heroics as Thor, the Norse god of thunder, primarily draw saleability from an exotic origin. The series also finds a USP in Tom Hiddleston's act as Loki, Thor's adoptive brother and the god of mischief who continues giving the franchise a wicked edge.But life as a superhero in Hollywood is unimaginable unless you acquire all-American attitude. Even Norse gods – good or wicked – have to be given a suitable Yankee twist in swagger for the right impact.
The Dark World maintains the cocky Americanised tempo for all its protagonists just as the first film of the series. The Mighty Thor and wily Loki especially continue basking in the campy makeover, mouthing some really witty lines.
The sequel reveals a classic second-film syndrome. It makes no effort to push the envelope in any way. Rather, the focus is on recreating all that worked the first time (as well as in The Avengers, the Marvel multistarrer delight that featured Thor among a battery of superheroes). Director Alan Taylor does a fine job retaining the balance of action, CGI effects and humour that Kenneth Branagh fashioned for 2011's Thor. A whiff of the unpredictable, though, is missing this time.
The CGI-heavy current adventure was obviously far tougher to shoot than write given the formulaic story it delivers. The ancient race of Dark Elves led by the evil Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) wants to plunge the universe into eternal darkness. Thor has no option but to join hands with the evil god Loki to save all life.The situation of course gives scope for a crackling chemistry between Hemsworth and Hiddleston, and the film ends up a nice commercial cocktail of melodrama served amid all the action and humour, even as all major characters return. Thor's love track with Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and his duty towards father Odin and stepmother Frigga (Anthony Hopkins and Rene Russo) are smartly used to elevate the emotion quotient.
The Dark World belongs to old-school superhero filmmaking that focussed solely on the fun factor rather than also trying to give its specific world a deeper context as, say, The Dark Knight flicks did for Batman. Still, the film remains enjoyable. It regales with a resounding good-versus-evil thwack, imagining the Thor myth with stunning visuals and a grand final.Chris Hemsworth as Thor gives his action deity an impressive hunky turn once again but Tom Hiddleston's Loki robs all thunder from the entire cast. The impact all the actors create, you realise, is more about apt casting than well-penned roles.The focus here is not so much about narrating an original adventure as it is about how engagingly the film narrates a predictable storyline. The climax as well as its build-up make for all-out fun.

When Nicki Minaj's tracklisting for her sophomore set Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded released late last week, some were surprised to see Nas included on a song called "Champion," also featuring Young Jeezy and Drake.
Speaking with MTV News, Esco revealed that the Harajuku Barbie reached out to him for the song, which will surface on the April 3rd release. "Nicki hit us up. I got love, so it was nothin' — I did the record," he said. "It's Hip Hop music; music is music. If I feel it, I can get on it. I heard the track, I felt it, I loved it."
Additional guest stars on the LP include 2 Chainz, Cam'ron, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Rick Ross. She most recently released the RedOne-produced single "Starships" and filmed its video.

NEW DELHI: India's leading department store chains clocked doubledigit, same-store sales in the year ended March, significantly higher than in FY13, despite the continuing squeeze on household budgets and high inflation that slowed down the overall consumer goods sector to a decade low.
Same-store sales, or sales at stores that were operational last year, of Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle International and Reliance Fashion & Lifestyle grew 10-20% in FY14, as against 6-8% the year before, as discounts coupled with an added focus on fast fashion boosted demand and average basket size. Samestore sales are an important indicator of consumer demand and the health of the retail industry.

Notable Books
Notable Books | Four Christian nonfiction books reviewed by Susan Olasky
Out of a Far Country
A mother and son tell their stories, variations on the parable of the Prodigal Son. Only this time both mother and son were lost: the mother to moralism and idols of achievement, the son to a life of homosexuality, drug dealing, and jail. Both needed rescue. It's also the story of a mother's proud heart being softened by the gospel, her faithful prayers for her husband and son, and God's gracious work in all their lives. Christopher Yuan explains how he came to ask: "Who am I apart from my sexuality?" At first he didn't have an answer. But he came to understand that his identity as "a child of the living God must be in Jesus Christ alone." Well-written and worth reading.
Red Like Blood: Confrontations with Grace
Joe Coffey is a pastor and the son of a pastor. Bob Bevington was an eye doctor attending Joe's church when he blew up his life by committing adultery and divorcing his wife, a Christian schoolteacher who soon after received a cancer diagnosis. More than a decade later he came back to the church a changed man. In this book, the men describe the transforming power of grace both for the prodigal and the elder brother. With brutal honesty they lay bare their sins to show the beauty and sufficiency of Christ, and use homely topics such as garbage, math, and M&M's to talk about profound ideas. Through stories about friends and other changed people, they show how grace scrubs, flows, and multiplies.
Hudson Taylor: Gospel Pioneer to China
Christie's readable biography begins with the 20-year-old Taylor, then a medical student, becoming deathly ill after helping to dissect a corpse. Through this episode and others, Christie portrays a man willing to sacrifice many worldly comforts as he prepares for and pursues his missionary calling to China. Through challenges and the death of a wife and children, Taylor perseveres. Of particular interest is the account of Taylor's spiritual crisis as he felt the "need personally . . . of more holiness, life, power in our souls," but-no matter how much he strived-was "utterly powerless." A letter from a friend gave him new eyes: "Not a striving to have faith, or to increase our faith, but a looking off to the Faithful One seems all we need."
The Missional Mom
Lee applies missional to moms who also pursue career callings, fight poverty or injustice, or live simply. She makes good points about keeping in mind our primary calling, to love and know God. Her repetitive use of the buzzword "missional" is annoying, as is her sense that previous generations of Christian moms didn't understand the importance of living "with God-directed intentionality and purpose, in their family life as well as in whatever other context God has placed them." Nevertheless, she rightly encourages moms to be aware of the cultural influences shaping their desires for their children, to be cultural rebels when necessary, and to train up "missionally-minded" children.
In Surprised by Oxford (Thomas Nelson, 2011), Christian college professor Carolyn Weber describes growing up in a troubled family in London, Ontario. Her college success earned her a full scholarship to study for a master's degree in Romantic literature at Oxford in the 1990s. This memoir describes her experiences that first year, but focuses on her relationship with a handsome theology student she dubs TDH (tall, dark, and handsome) who introduced her to the gospel. At an Oxford she describes as spiritually vibrant, Weber was surrounded by students who were open to belief. Conversations about spiritual topics flourished, although some professors were openly hostile. After she embraced Christ, she found professors who encouraged her. Readers with a literary bent will especially enjoy her references to books and writers.
In Six Stone Jars: God's Remedy for Fear, Worry, and Anxiety (Focus Publishing, 2009), biblical counselor Dan Manningham offers sound guidance for believers struggling with worry.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — An Alaska U.S. senator says she may block confirmation of President Obama's choice for Interior secretary unless the administration agrees to a road that would give a remote village road access to emergency flights.
Republican Lisa Murkowski says she's considering all tools in her toolbox to ensure the safety of the people of King Cove, where dangerous winds often keep planes from landing.
Residents want a land route to nearby Cold Bay and its all-weather airport through Izembek (EYE'-zem-beck) National Wildlife Refuge.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service this month rejected a land trade that could have led to construction of the road.
Road opponents say the refuge protects internationally recognized migratory bird habitat and that the village should pursue a marine route to Cold Bay.

Lebanon: Agro-industrial sector grows to $2.67 billion in 2011
Lebanon's agro-industrial sector expanded to reach $2.67 billion by the end of 2011, after posting moderate growth over the last five years, according to the Investment Development Authority of Lebanon.The sector generated 32.5 percent of industrial output in Lebanon and around 2.54 percent of the country's GDP based on 2009 estimates, said a statement issued by the authority.
IDAL estimated the sector's current workforce at 30,670, accounting for 23.3 percent of the industrial sector workforce and constituting the third largest employer in industry. About 4,700 companies are involved in agro-industrial activities, accounting for 20 percent of enterprises in the country and representing the largest share of industrial establishments in Lebanon, IDAL said.
Agro-food product exports account for around 11 percent of total industrial exports and have been growing at an average annual rate of 13 percent since 2001, the statement noted.
Arab countries account for 55.8 percent of agro-industrial exports, followed by Western Europe with 17.1 percent, Latin America with 16.5 percent, Eastern Europe with 4.8 percent and the United States and Canada with 3.4 percent. IDAL said that it has mediated four Greenfield projects in the agro-food sector, accounting for 10.8 percent of its total projects since 2004 with a total investment of $17.8m.

These kid-friendly confections will fly off the table in no time at all.
White Chocolate, Strawberry, and Oatmeal Cookies
A mere one-quarter cup of butter yields crispy, light cookies and keeps calories in check. Dried strawberries lend fiber, color, and subtle sweetness. You can find them in larger supermarkets, or substitute raisins or dried cranberries. Because the dough is heavy, we used a sturdy stand mixer. You can use a hand mixer to cream the butter and sugar, then stir in the remaining ingredients by hand. These cookies will sell quickly—so be prepared.
