LAO PDR has stepped up the protection of its wetlands by joining the Ramsar Convention.
IUCN played a crucial role in the recent accession of Lao PDR to the Ramsar Convention, an international treaty for the conservation and sustainable utilisation of wetlands. IUCN has worked with the Government of Lao PDR on the process of accession to Ramsar since 2003, with support from Sida, the IUCN Asia Regional Office and the Mekong Water Dialogues Initiative.
Upon joining the Ramsar Convention on 28 September 2010, the Government of Lao PDR will designate the country's first two wetlands of national significance, the Xe Champhone Wetlands and the Beung Kiat Ngong Wetlands. The commitment from the Government of Lao PDR to protect its vital natural wetland resources comes at a crucial point in the nation's rapid and transformative economic development.
"Joining the Ramsar Convention signals a strong commitment on the part of the Government of Lao PDR to actively conserve and sustainably use their wetlands and resources. It recognizes the fundamental value of wetlands for the people of Lao and for global biodiversity," says Anada Tiéga, Secretary General of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. "I would like to underline the key role played by IUCN in the accession of Lao PDR, a valued partner of the Convention in the work for sustainable wetland and water resources management" Tiéga adds.
"The Government of Lao PDR decided to join the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands to ensure the effective and efficient use of our natural resources, helping to achieve sustainable socio-economic development, poverty reduction and improved livelihoods in parallel with environmental protection," comments Mme Khampheng Pholsena, Lao Minister for Water Resources and the Environment.
"Both the Xe Champhone and Beung Kiat Ngong Wetlands are ecologically significant areas and make vastly important contributions to sustaining the livelihoods of people who live in and around them. This is why they have been selected as Lao PDR's first two Ramsar sites", says Mme Latsamay Sylavong, Country Representative of IUCN in Lao PDR.
The Xe Champhone Wetlands in Savannakhet Province provide important food and livelihood resources for approximatively 20,000 people, including a vital source of sustenance for food and livestock in the dry seasons. The wetlands are also home to the critically endangered Siamese crocodile as well as a number of turtle species.
The Beung Kiat Ngong Wetlands in Champassak Province support around 11,500 villagers who live around the site and depend on its fisheries, subsistence agriculture and non-timber forest products.
As part of its accession to the Ramsar Convention, the Government of Lao PDR will commit to supporting the "three pillars" of the Convention: ensuring the conservation and wise use of wetlands that it has designated as Wetlands of International Importance; including the wise use of all wetlands in national environmental planning; and consulting with other Parties about the implementation of the Convention, especially in regard to transboundary wetlands, shared water systems and shared species.
Lao PDR's Wetlands:
Lao PDR has a diverse topography, ranging from floodplains to highland areas. Wetlands extend across all these environments, including the Mekong River, its 14 main tributaries, and more than 100 streams. Most of the water flowing into the Mekong Basin originates in Lao PDR: 35% of total flow in the dry season and up to 80% in the wet season. In addition to the Mekong floodplain, other important wetland areas in Lao PDR can be found in the seasonally flooded areas along rivers such as the Xe Bang Fai and Xe Bang Hieng. Lao PDR's wetlands provide vital environmental, economic and cultural services to the country's people, particularly in rural areas. As well as ecosystem services such as providing habitat for a wide variety of species, flood protection and groundwater renewal, wetlands supply natural resources that are central to livelihoods in Lao PDR, from fish to fodder to tourism opportunities.
The sites:
The Xe Champhone Wetlands comprise a large floodplain nourishing perennial rivers and a wide variety of scattered lakes and ponds. The wetlands provide important food, resources and livelihoods for the approximately 20,000 people who live in and around the site. Thousands of cattle are also raised in the area and the wetlands have become increasingly critical to both people and livestock during the dry season. Of the many lakes and ponds, some form habitat for critically endangered Siamese crocodiles (Crocodylus siamensis), and are home to several species of turtles.
The Beung Kiat Ngong Wetlands are located in a large floodplain and are made up of a large freshwater marsh and a seasonal wetland with a number of scattered ponds and paddy fields. The site is especially important for fish, which rely on the permanent wetlands for survival during the dry season. It is also important for fish spawning, which takes place both inside the wetlands, and during the wet season when some of the fish migrate to upstream tributaries to spawn. Fish species identified from the site include walking catfish (Clarias spp.), snakeheads (Channa striata) and swamp eels (Monopterus albus). The wetlands support some 11,500 villagers who live in the site and who are primarily reliant for their income on wild-capture fisheries, subsistence agriculture and non-timber forest products.

Wind makes it tougher at Pebble
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- Tiger Woods was great from tee to green, but a less-than-perfect putter kept him from making an early move on the first day of the U.S. Open.
He was hardly alone.
On a windy, difficult day at Pebble Beach, where momentum lasted only as long as the walk to the next tee box, Woods had eight straight pars and a bogey to make the turn at 1 over par. He was the only player to hit every green in regulation through nine holes -- and that included a solid approach from a fairway bunker on No. 2 -- but missed from 12, 15 and seven feet on the first three greens.
He missed a six-footer to save par on the par-4 ninth and made the turn two shots behind clubhouse leaders K.J. Choi, Mike Weir, Ian Poulter and Rafael Cabrera-Bello.
For comparison's sake, Woods shot 6 under par in the first round back in 2000 when he shattered the U.S. Open record and won by 15 strokes. This year, he came into the U.S. Open not on a roll, but trying to round his game into shape after taking time off after sordid details of his personal life went public over the winter.
He received a nice ovation before teeing off on the par-4 first hole. His approach almost went in the hole but skidded 12 feet past, and thus began the string of eight straight pars.
Brendon de Jonge, Soren Kjeldsen, Weir and Choi were among the handful of players to reach 3 under, though none could stay there.
Weir saw how quickly Pebble could give and take away on a day with bright sunshine, temperatures in the low-60s and north winds at about 10 mph. Weir chipped in for birdie from the greenside rough on 16 to get to 3 under, then promptly pushed his tee shot on No. 17, part of a bogey-bogey finish that dampened an otherwise good day.
"You don't want to finish a round like that. It's never a good thing," Weir said. "But it wasn't because I was looking at the scoreboard and looking at where I am in the tournament. Because it's Thursday, and I just happened to hit a couple of poor shots."
When Woods made the turn, there were two players in the lead at 2 under -- John Rollins and Heath Slocum, but each had a long way to go.
"It's survival," said Tim Clark, after shooting a 72.
Trying to keep the course playable, the USGA decided to water the greens before the round began. It made what could have been an impossible day merely difficult.
"If we didn't put the corrective water on it and got this kind of wind, then the golf course could've gotten away from us," USGA secretary Tom O'Toole said.
Phil Mickelson played in the morning and ran into trouble almost everywhere he went. He hit one ball onto the beach on No. 17, another that went careening off the rocks and into the ocean on 18. He left a ball in a bunker on No. 4 and missed a four-foot birdie putt on No. 6. All part of a frustrating day that left this year's Masters winner at 4-over 75.
"I don't believe I should have shot over par," Mickelson said. "I putted horrific. You're going to make some bogeys, going to hit a couple of bad shots here and there. But I gave myself plenty of opportunities and just couldn't get the ball in the hole."
Choi had the most up-and-down round, starting bogey-double bogey but coming back with six birdies over the next 16 holes to get to red numbers.
"This course, it looks like it's wide-open fairway, but in the teeing ground, in the mindset, you look right, look left, either way is very tough," Choi said. "And you can't stop in the bouncing, so you're very scared on the tee shot."
Cabrera-Bello is making his debut at the majors. He was the first person to tee off on No. 10. No pressure there, right? The 26-year-old Spaniard opened with a birdie and briefly got to 2 under before finishing at 70.
He was one of many who had brief stints at the top of the leaderboard.
Mikko Ilonen birdied his first two holes early in the morning but then began a freefall that left him at 4-over 75.
Sweden's Robert Karlsson was briefly at 2 under, but hit a chip up to the eighth green that reached the crest of the hill and rolled back, only a few paces from where he started. He made bogey there, the beginning of another freefall. He shot 75.
Kjeldsen spent most of the morning in the lead, making three birdies over the first six holes. But Pebble caught up to him, too. He made four bogeys on the back to finish at 1-over 72.
Edoardo Molinari got to 2 under but finished with a pair of double-bogeys to finish at 75.
Dustin Johnson, the winner of the last two AT&T National pro-ams -- played at Pebble every February -- briefly got to 2 under before a four-putt on No. 14 dropped him off the leaderboard. Just as quickly, he was back in a group at 1 under.
Still, he was finding out, as all these players know, that Pebble Beach in February is much different than Pebble Beach in June.
Earlier in the week, Choi said his goal was to shoot par all four days, and if he did that, he figured he'd be in pretty good shape.
After Day 1, he wasn't changing his opinion.
"Every day," he said, "even par is a good situation."

Abbas signals flexibility on Palestinian refugees
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) -- The Palestinian president told hundreds of young Israeli activists on Sunday that he does not want to "drown" Israel with Palestinian refugees, in his most conciliatory comments to date on one of the thorniest issues in Mideast peace talks.
The statements by President Mahmoud Abbas suggested new flexibility on the "right of return," the demand by hundreds of thousands of Palestinians displaced in the war surrounding Israel's creation in 1948, and their descendants, to return to lost properties in the Jewish state.
Today, the refugees and their descendants are believed to number about 5 million people. In Israel, there is broad consensus against accepting a large-scale resettling of these refugees in any future peace deal with the Palestinians, saying it would dilute the Jewish character of Israel, a country of just 8 million people. Israeli officials believe the refugees should be resettled in a future Palestinian state or offered some sort of compensation.
But speaking to some 300 young Israelis who visited his West Bank headquarters, Abbas said he is seeking a "creative solution" for the refugees, suggesting he is not demanding a blanket right of return.
"Refugees should be satisfied and all parties should be satisfied," said Abbas. "You will be satisfied and we will be satisfied."
The fate of the refugees is one of the most emotional issues in the conflict. In Palestinian society, there is an overwhelming demand for refugees to be able to return home. Abbas himself is a refugee from what is now Safed in northern Israel, though he has said publicly he has no intention of seeking to live there. Israeli leaders have long demanded that the Palestinian leadership publicly renounce the right of return. The refugee issue is one of the Palestinians most important cards in the peace talks, and something that is unlikely to be addressed until the final stage of negotiations.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office had no immediate comment.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who has been brokering talks since last July, hopes to return to the region in the coming weeks with the outlines of a final deal. He has set an April target date for a preliminary agreement, with the goal of finalizing the deal in continued talks after that. However, there have been no public signs of progress.
By hosting the Israeli delegation, Abbas was attempting to reach out to the Israeli public, where skepticism about reaching a peace deal remains high.
The Israeli group, mostly university students and young activists in dovish political parties, was the largest group of Israelis ever to meet with Abbas in his compound in the West Bank.
Israeli Labor party lawmaker Hilik Bar, who heads a parliamentary caucus in favor of Israeli-Palestinian peace, called the event "unprecedented."
Abbas addressed a list of oft-repeated Israeli concerns about the Palestinians. He acknowledged there is some incitement against Israel in Palestinian school textbooks, but said Israel refused his offer to set up a joint committee to address incitement in both societies. He also refuted claims that he denies the Holocaust, saying "I know millions of Jews were killed in the Holocaust."
Abbas said he wishes to set up a Palestinian capital in east Jerusalem alongside an Israeli capital there, while keeping Jerusalem as one undivided city.
"What is the problem with that? This is coexistence," Abbas said.
Many Israeli participants called their visit to Abbas' presidential compound "surreal." Israelis are generally prohibited from visiting Palestinian areas in the West Bank.

In the aftermath of the Bears losing to the Packers in the NFC title game yesterday, there were a great number of people who thought that Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler could have continued playing on his injured knee and was something less than a man for not limping back out on the field and finishing what he started. Well, to those people, Cutler can now say: EAT THIS MRI RESULT!
Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler suffered a medial collateral ligament tear in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Green Bay Packers, and the team is in the process of determining the grade of the injury, according to the Chicago Sun-Times on Monday.
You see that? A TEAR. Now leave poor Jay Cutler alone! Have you people no decency?!
In defense of Darnell Dockett, Mark Schlereth, Maurice Jones-Drew, and thousands of others who were quick to call Cutler a wimp or a wuss or a gutless fraud (my favorite!), it's important to note that Cutler, while legitimately injured, really didn't look all that jazzed about going back onto the field yesterday. I mean, did you see him on that exercise bike? Not the biggest effort in the world. Sure, his knee was snapped in half, but at least show me some PASSION when you're on that thing. Even LaDainian Tomlinson gives it more effort on the bike during playoff games.
I think that's the real issue with Jay Cutler in all this. It's not his toughness. It's not his ability. It's his demeanor.
There is no one in football who looks less enthused to be playing football than Jay Cutler. He looks like he'd rather be sewing bedsheets together. Now, this is not his fault. Some people are passionate but don't necessarily have the natural facial expressions to match up with that dedication. Perfectly understandable. You can't help how you LOOK. The problem is that Jay Cutler has a reputation for being something of a jerk, so when you combine that lousy reputation with a seeming lack of enthusiasm for getting back into the game, you suddenly have yourself a perfect storm of people declaring Cutler a coward and a loser. It's not particularly fair, and now Cutler has the MRI to prove it.
One thing's for sure out of all this, the next time Cutler tears a knee ligament, he's going to make sure to pull a Favre and do lots of staged grimacing. Learn from the master, young man. LEARN FROM THE MASTER.

I have SharePoint 2010 Foundation with a site collection for one business organization. Within that collection I have a lot of subsites. I would like to restrict members of one subsite from browsing user accounts in the people picker to only users within that subsite.
I have configured the option to only search within the site collection but need to increase that a level into the subsite.
I'm looking for suggestions on how to achieve this. Ideally I would like something that is low overhead. I looked at using AD read permissions to handle which accounts the logged in user is able to view but it was going to be a lot of overhead and complexity I would like to avoid.
Alternatively if there is a suggested way to remove/disable People picker from every possible area on the sub-site I would consider that as a solution.
TIA -Michael

Done this before and i am still wondering what to do with the wp_posts => guid content, which has reference to http://localhost
But at wordpress.org http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL it clearly states:
Never, ever, change the contents of the GUID column, under any circumstances.
But as i understand it is just to unique identify your posts globally. But as more people would have http://localhost in their guid.
So can i safely replace http://localhost with http://www.mydomain.com??

If you're a team site owner, it's a good idea to create a governance model - that is, a model to address your site's policies, processes, roles, and responsibilities. A model like this will help you control how people use your site. For example, you might want to require check-out of files so that multiple people don't try to edit a file at the same time. Or, you may want to allow only certain people to create subsites. This article gives an overview of ideas and best practices to think about when creating such a model.
Note: If you're looking for steps on how to create a site, see Create a SharePoint site.
What is governance?
An important but often invisible part of any site is its governance model—the set of policies, roles, responsibilities, and processes that you establish to determine how the people in your group use SharePoint.
Many organizations have a governance model in place for sites at the Central Administration or site collection level, which may be created and maintained by an Information Technologies (IT) department or team.
If you're a site owner for a subsite in a site collection, such as a team site, it's a good idea to create your own additional governance model to address your specific issues.
A governance model makes it easier to:
Let site users know when they should create a new subsite, as opposed to creating a list or other site content.
Make sure subsites and content are retired when they're obsolete, rather than using up your storage space and diluting your search results.
Ensure that the right people have access to the right content.
Let subsite owners know what templates and themes they can use.
Smoothly transition ownership of a site from one person to another.
Elements of a governance model
Your governance model needs to address the following issues:
Site creation
Permissions management
Information architecture
Site lifecycle and retirement
Storage limits
Classification of information
Data protection
Roles and responsibilities for supporting the site
Some of these questions might already be decided for you by the site-collection or organization-level governance model, such as how much storage space you have for your site, and what sorts of customization you can do to the look and feel of the site. Others may not be relevant, depending on how complex your team site is, and how many people you have using it. But even if you don't have to make decisions about these topics, it's a good idea to know what decisions have been made, so that you can inform your site users and enforce policies appropriately.
Here are some things to consider when you're setting up a new site.
Subsite creation
You might want your team members to be able to create subsites under the team site for use on specific projects.
Being able to spontaneously create new subsites can be a great benefit to the group, but unrestricted site creation can get out of hand. When subsites proliferate freely, problems can arise. For example:
It's hard for users to find the right subsite, or be sure if they have.
Information can be duplicated in several subsites, using up expensive storage space, and requiring duplicated effort to maintain.
Out-of-date information can reside on subsites, potentially for years, showing up in search results. It can be hard to tell what version of information is correct.
Managing permissions for a multitude of subsites can become a major chore, and users might inadvertently wind up with access to information they really shouldn't have.
As employees leave the group, the subsites they create may be abandoned, creating confusion and muddying search results for remaining site users.
You can save time and energy if you set some policies for site creation that address the following areas:
Who is allowed to create subsites?
Do new subsites need to be approved in advance? If so, what are the criteria for approval, and who grants the approval?
Should new subsites use established templates and themes?
How much information may be stored on a site? That is, how much server disk space can it take up?
What are the rules for including navigation strategies on the site?
How long should information be stored on subsites before it is deleted or archived?
See Create a site or subsite for more information.
Permissions management
The integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of your organization's mission-critical information rests on how secure you make your site — specifically, to whom you choose to grant access to your site.
Granting and restricting access to your site is called managing permissions, and it's one of your most important responsibilities as a site owner.
Here are some tips to keep in mind when you're developing a permissions strategy.
Follow the Principle of Least Privilege: Give people the lowest permission levels they need to perform their assigned tasks.
Give people access by adding them to standard, default groups (such as Members, Visitors, and Owners). Make most people members of the Members or Visitors groups, and limit the number of people in the Owners group.
Use permissions inheritance to create a clean, easy-to-visualize hierarchy. That is, avoid granting permissions to individuals, instead work with groups. Where possible, have subsites simply inherit permissions from your team site, rather than having unique permissions.
Organize your content to take advantage of permissions inheritance: Consider segmenting your content by security level – create a site or a library specifically for sensitive documents, rather than having them scattered in a larger library and protected by unique permissions.
See Understanding permission levels in SharePoint or Edit permissions for a list, library, or individual item for information on setting permissions.
Information architecture
A site's information architecture is like the table of contents for a book: It determines how the information in that site — its webpages, documents, lists, and data — is organized and presented to the site's users. Information architecture is often recorded as a hierarchical list of site content, search keywords, data types, and other concepts.
To create an information architecture, you must analyze the information to be presented in the site. Here are some of the questions you can use to develop an information architecture:
What kind of content will you have on the site? How will that translate into subsites, lists, libraries, and so on?
How will information be presented in the site?
How will site users navigate through the site?
How will information be targeted at specific audiences?
How will search will be configured and optimized?
Part of your information architecture might include classification of information.
If the information you're dealing with has high value to the company, requires special security, or is covered by regulatory compliance rules, you might want to set up a classification scheme to identify specific types of content that need to be managed carefully.
After you've organized information into specific lists and libraries, you can use governance features to manage how the content is managed. For example:
Require check-out of files
When you require check-out of a file, you ensure that only one person can edit the file until it is checked in. Requiring documents to be checked out prevents multiple people from making changes at the same time, which can create editing conflicts and lead to confusion. Requiring check-out can also help to remind team members to add a comment when they check a file in, so that you can more easily track what has changed in each version. For more info, see Set up a library to require check-out of files.
Track versions
If you need to keep previous versions of files, libraries can help you track, store, and restore the files. You can choose to track all versions in the same way. Or you can choose to designate some versions as major, such as adding a new chapter to a manual, and some versions as minor, such as fixing a spelling error. To help manage storage space, you can choose the number of each type of version that you want to store. For more info on versioning, see How does versioning work in a list or library?.
Require document approval
You can specify that approval for a document is required. Documents remain in a pending state until they are approved or rejected by someone who has permission to do so. You can control which groups of users can view a document before it is approved. This feature can be helpful if your library contains important guidelines or procedures that need to be final before others see them. For more info on document approval, see Require approval of items in a site list or library.
Stay informed about changes
Libraries support RSS technology, so that members of your workgroup can automatically receive and view updates, or feeds, of news and information in a consolidated location. You can use RSS technology to alert you of any changes to a library, such as when files that are stored in the library change. RSS feeds enable members of your workgroup to see a consolidated list of files that have changed. You can also create email alerts, so that you are notified when files change. For more info on RSS feeds, see Manage RSS feeds for a site or site collection.
Create workflows
A document library or content type can use workflows that your organization has defined for business processes, such as managing document approval or review. Your group can apply business processes to its documents, known as workflows, which specify actions that need to be taken in a sequence, such as approving or translating documents. A workflow is an automated way of moving documents or items through a sequence of actions or tasks. Three workflows are available to libraries by default: Approval, which routes a document to a group of people for approval; Collect Feedback, which routes a document to a group of people for feedback and returns the document to the person who initiated the workflow as a compilation; and Collect Signatures, which routes a document to a group of people to collect their digital signatures. For more info on workflows, see Overview of workflows included with SharePoint
Define content types
If your group works with several types of files, such as worksheets, presentations, and documents, you can extend the functionality of your library by enabling and defining multiple content types. Content types add flexibility and consistency across multiple libraries. Each content type can specify a template and even workflow processes. The templates act as a starting point, for formatting and any boilerplate text and for properties that apply to the documents of that type, such as department name or contract number. For more info on content types, see Introduction to content types and content type publishing
Audit Tracking
If you have a group of sensitive files, and it would be helpful to know how the documents were being used, you can define a policy that allows you to enable 'Audit' tracking of events, such as file changes, copies or deletion. For info on setting up auditing, see Configure audit settings for a site collection
Site lifecycle and retirement
Sites such as document worksites and discussion sites tend to hang around after they are no longer useful, using up valuable storage space and muddying search results. It's a good idea to set a schedule for reviewing sites and their contents (at least once a year) to see if they are worth keeping.
It's good to keep in mind, too, that your organization's larger governance model might also be on the lookout for stale sites. For example, an administrator might automatically delete sites that have been untouched for 90 days. As a site owner, you would receive an email warning you this was going to happen. For more info on lifecycle and retirement policies, see Site closure policies.
Storage limits
An administrator might have set a limit on the amount of disc storage your group can use. You need to find out if there is a limit and, if so, decide how you will apportion it amongst your sites, pages, and libraries.
By default, SharePoint Server imposes a 50 MB limit on the size of a single document that can be uploaded into a document library. Also, by default, Team site owners receive alerts when storage is at 90% of quota.
After you know what your limits are, you can use features like version or audit tracking to ensure your site stays within them. For more info, see Manage site collection storage limits.
Chances are your organization will have some standardized branding, site templates, or site layouts that are preferred or required. How far can users go in customizing the appearance of their sites and pages?
To control customization, you might decide to lock down who on your team has permission to customize, or you might opt for using standardized page layouts to ensure that certain requirements are met, such as having the site owner displayed in the upper left corner of all sites.
You might also want to set guidelines about the functionality people can use on their subsites. For example, you might want to ask that people not use Web Parts that would require any custom coding.
On the other end of the spectrum, you might provide everyone on your team with SharePoint Designer, so they can make all the changes they want.
For more on site customization, see Change the look of your SharePoint site or Introduction to customizing sites and pages.
Navigation elements help people to browse through the content that they need. Two navigation items that you can customize are the top link bar and the Quick Launch.
By using the settings pages for each list or library, you can choose which lists and libraries appear on the Quick Launch. You can also change the order of links, add or delete links, and add or delete the sections into which the links are organized. For example, if you have too many lists in the List section, you can add a new section for Tasks Lists where you can include links to your tasks lists.
The top link bar provides a way for users of your site to get to other sites in the site collection by displaying a row of tabs at the top of every page in the site. When you create a new site, you can choose whether to include the site on the top link bar of the parent site and whether to use the top link bar from the parent site.
For more on site navigation, see Introduction to site navigation or Customize the navigation on your SharePoint site
Content appears in many places including sites, lists, libraries, Web Parts, and columns. By default, when someone searches your site, all the content on the site of any of its subsites appear in the Search results.
As a site owner, you can choose whether or not the content on your site appears in search results. When you prevent the content of a site from appearing in search results, the content of all the subsites below it also is blocked from appearing in search results.
By default, content with restricted permissions does not appear in search results for users who don't have the permissions to read it. You can change that so that restricted content does display in search results, but users won't be able to open content they don't have permission to.
See SharePoint Online search administration overview or Configure a Content Search Web Part in SharePoint for more on search.
Roles and responsibilities for supporting the site
It's a good idea to define roles and responsibilities to reduce the chaos that can ensue on a site when staff members rotate in or out of a team. Here are some of the things it's good to have spelled out about who does what on your site:
Training: Basic navigation, search, and document management training can be very useful for people new to the product.
Support: You might want a designated expert on your team to troubleshoot problems and be a liaison to an administrator.
Compliance with legal or organizational guidelines: Sometimes this might just be a matter of maintaining up-to-date links to the appropriate guidelines, but it's good to have a person responsible.
See Plan sites and manage users or Manage administrators for a site collection for more on roles.
Data protection
Backup and recovery features protect your data from accidental loss. The frequency of backup and the speed and level of recovery are set up by an administrator. See Overview of backup and recovery in SharePoint Server or Manage the Recycle Bin of a SharePoint Online site collection

Jody has been joking with me lately that I have turned into Snow White, Cinderella or some other character that all of the woodland animals love and are attracted to, as our backyard is turning into quite the animal sanctuary.
We by no means have a large yard (our whole lot is less than 1/4 of an acre), and, much to my chagrin, are surrounded by neighbors on all sides (not near a forest or field or anything), yet in the past few weeks we've had the following critters cohabitating in our yard:
42 garter snakes (the first two made the unfortunate decision to venture into our redneck neighbor's yard and soon met an untimely death)
- 2 baby Blue Jays who were unable to fly (as well as their mother and father)
- Several little green caterpillars
- Bees
- Oh, we also have another bird family living up in the eave of our house
If you follow me on Twitter, you've undoubtedly seen me tweeting about the baby Blue Jays in our backyard over the past week and a half or so. First there was one on the ground for about a day, then it hopped it's way up into a tree. The next day there was another baby on the ground, but this one stayed on the ground for about four days (and caused me endless worry the whole time) before getting up into the tree itself. I'm thrilled to report that as of Saturday, they were both up in the tree (and often sitting next to each other) with their parents. Hooray!
Ava has grown very fond of the caterpillars and names each one she catches "Poozey" (from ::groan:: Dragon Tales). She carries them all over the place (yes, even in the house) and puts them into a jar in hopes that they will build a cocoon and become a butterfly. When they haven't metamorphosized by day 2 (and are generally looking a little peaked), she lets them go, finds a new one and starts the cycle all over again.
The snakes are another treat in our backyard. Everyone gets excited when we spot one and Julian exclaims, "Snakey! Snakey!" I tried to get a shot of "snakey" the other day, but it must not have been feeling very photogenic, as it was gone by the time I returned with my camera. I am hoping the snakeys will stay in our yard (or our other kind neighbor's yard) though so I don't have to witness any more snake killings. One was enough. 🙁 And who kills harmless snakes for no good reason anyway? Arg.
As for the bird family living up in the eave of our house, once again this year there just doesn't seem to be enough room there for all of the babies. Each year one or two of the tiny birds fall down onto our back patio. They are so newly hatched that they don't have any feathers and, thus, really never had a chance at survival. This year Julian was the one to discover the fallen baby bird. He picked it up and started waving it around saying "birdy, birdy, birdy" until Jody realized what he had and shook it out of his hand. Oy.
The bees keep us on our toes. I realize they perform a valuable function and I welcome them, but I am still a bit skittish around them. I'm trying not to pass my fear onto my kids, but I also want them to be cautious around bees so they don't get stung. The other day there was a bee buzzing around the flowers. Ava exclaimed that she didn't like bees because they can sting, so Jody and I tried to educate her about the importance of them and mentioned that they pollinate the flowers. Julian then went walking by the flowers and, Ava, who was concerned for his safety yelled out, "Be careful Julian, or you might get pollinated!" Cue peals of laughter from Jody and me. 🙂
Yes, our backyard is full of nature, stories of both life and death, lots of learning opportunities and funny times as well. It certainly keeps things interesting around here. 🙂
I think I'm going to call the shot above of the lone baby Blue Jay perched on my sunflower plant my Best Shot for this week. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to step outside, sing a song and see what other woodland creatures I can summon. 😉 Feel free to head on over to Mother May I to see what everyone else has in store for their Best Shot Monday posts.

BEND — A Bend man's claim he acted in self-defense when he shot and killed a guest in his home in February 2013 proved unpersuasive Aug. 6, as Deschutes County Circuit Judge Stephen Forte issued a sentence of 25 years to life in prison for Luke Anton Wirkkala.
Wirkkala, 33, formerly a resident of Chinook, Wash., was convicted in June of shooting and killing David Ryder, 31, at Wirkkala's southeast Bend home in the early morning hours of Feb. 4, 2013. The two men and Wirkkala's live-in girlfriend – whom he married later while being held at the Deschutes County jail – had spent much of the day before drinking together at a local bar on Super Bowl Sunday.
Wirkkala killed Ryder with a single shot to the neck from a 12-gauge shotgun at close range.
Aug. 6, Wirkkala's attorneys said he shot Ryder in self-defense, describing scratches on Wirkkala's neck and bits of Wirkkala's skin found under Ryder's fingernails. During the June trial, defense attorney Walter Todd said Ryder was taller than Wirkkala and outweighed him by nearly 50 pounds, and argued Ryder was attempting to force Wirkkala to perform oral sex on him in the minutes before the shooting.
In a statement to the court, Wirkkala maintained his innocence. "I felt remorse from the second this happened, and every moment since," he said. "That being said, I believe every human being has the right to self-defense. I was attacked in my own home."
Ryder worked at G5 Search Marketing in Bend as a software engineer. He was married, with a 2-year-old son.
Ryder's father, also named David Ryder, addressed the court by phone from Kentucky. He described Wirkkala as a "vile human being" with "no regard for human life."
"I hope every night he closes his eyes, he pictures what happened that night," the elder Ryder said.
During the trial, prosecutors said the scratches on Wirkkala's neck did not suggest the two men had engaged in a physical struggle, and that DNA evidence suggested sexual contact between them had been more than "incidental," as described by Wirkkala. Chief Deputy District Attorney Mary Anderson told jurors Wirkkala may have been angry that Ryder had rejected his sexual advances, or because Ryder was considering moving out of the area.
Jurors agreed, convicting Wirkkala following five hours of deliberation.
Before announcing Wirkkala's sentence, Forte told the court that despite the assertions of the defense team, the jury unanimously rejected the self-defense argument during the trial. Defense attorneys maintained that a life sentence with the possibility of parole after 25 years would be disproportionate and suggested Forte issue a life sentence with the possibility of parole in five to 10 years.
Under Oregon law, life with the possibility of parole is the presumptive sentence for first-degree murder. A "true life" sentence with no possibility of parole can be given in cases of aggravated murder.
Forte told Wirkkala his own statements during the trial indicated he hesitated before retrieving his shotgun from the bedroom, and described the shooting as "no accident." Forte said if not for the ready availability of the shotgun and the two men's heavy drinking leading up to the shooting – Wirkkala's blood alcohol level was measured at 0.08 percent 11 hours after the shooting, and an autopsy put Ryder's BAC at 0.23 percent at the time of his death – the entire episode might have been avoided.
"The combination of alcohol and a gun is never, never a good thing," Forte said.
Wirkkala will remain at the Deschutes County jail until he is transferred into the custody of the Oregon Department of Corrections.
Wirkkala is a 1999 graduate of Ilwaco (Wash.) High School. In June 2004, he graduated with honors from Washington State University. He worked as a freelancer for The Daily Astorian, most recently in December 2009.

I used a raspbian pisces R2 wheezy image (http://www.raspbian.org/PiscesImages) apt-get updated and upgraded. I installed the packages required following the installation instructions for Ubuntu at http://kivy.org/docs/installation/installation.html. I installed the development version (1.3.0) from github. Then I modified the setup.py file so that it would find the Broadcom files in /opt/vc before looking in /usr. Eg replacing lines such as
Code: Select all
default_header_dirs = ['/usr/include', '/usr/local/include']
I then compiled and installed Kivy using checkinstall to make removal easier and cleaner
Code: Select all
default_header_dirs = ['/opt/vc/include', '/usr/include', '/usr/local/include']
This simple Hello World runs from a terminal window in X:
Code: Select all
checkinstall python setup.py install
The full-window button turns blue a full second after the mouse click.
Code: Select all
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.button import Button
class TestApp(App):
def build(self):
return Button(text='Hello World')
Is this an issue with X, the drivers, my approach or have I missed something? At least it seems possible that Python Kivy will be usable eventually.

128 US Route 7 South
Directions Rutland, VT 05701
"If you didn't buy your Subaru at Rutland Subaru, you probably paid too much."
Subaru StarDrive Technology is smartly designed to give you ultimate freedom. Simply drive how you want and this advanced system automatically optimizes power, torque and fuel-efficiency to deliver not only improved acceleration, but up to 90 MPGe[2]. Take on any adventure and leave worries behind.
The system will run on a combination of electric and gas power. To maximize efficiency, the Crosstrek Hybrid automatically draws power from the hybrid battery first. The battery also recharges by harnessing kinetic energy, such as when you're coasting downhill or whenever you take your foot off the throttle. The system can also draw more power from the gas engine when you need it. It constantly works to maximize power and efficiency, so you don't have to worry about either.
The Crosstrek Hybrid will automatically drive in all-electric mode as much as possible, saving you in fuel costs by achieving up to 90 MPGe, while still delivering generous off-the-line power. And when the weather turns, only Subaru gives you the confidence of standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.
When you want to maintain the battery's charge level, Battery Save Mode directs the gas engine to provide most of the power while keeping the battery level constant as much as possible. This is useful when you're taking a longer trip and plan to do more electric driving later.
The Crosstrek Hybrid battery automatically recharges while you're on the road, so you never have to worry about running out. When the battery gets low, the gas engine will automatically start up and charge it. You can also charge the battery by driving in Battery Charge Mode, which directs the gas engine to charge the battery at all times, even when the vehicle is stopped—gaining up to 33% of battery capacity in 30 minutes of driving.
The Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid is eligible for High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane access in select states[14], so your commute can be even more efficient and enjoyable.
The Crosstrek Hybrid qualifies you for a federal tax credit of up to $4,500 after purchase. There are a variety of other tax credits, incentives, and discounts offered by state and local governments — even from energy utilities and employers. With all that plus an estimated annual gas savings of $350[16], the Crosstrek Hybrid adds up to a smart investment for years to come.

Sony RX100 – introduction
If you know your f-stop onions from your bracketing elbow, you might find most compact cameras just a bit too limited. Or maybe, if you're totally honest with yourself, you want a compact that says "Look, I am a photographer, I just chose to leave my DSLR at home today, okay?"
Sony RX100 review – highlights
Sony's RX100 has detected your face either way. The anonymously styled metal shell will invite enquiries from like-minded snappers, upon which you'll revel in furnishing them with details such as RAW image capture and a sizeable one-inch sensor, declining to descend to the level of bragging about its 20 megapixels, but perhaps tapping the lens and muttering "f1.8..."
Sony RX100 – control ring
While the RX100 is happy to play the point-and-shoot game, it also offers fully manual control. The clue to this is a twiddlable ring around the lens. This can be set up to adjust any of the standard manual controls and some of the built-in picture effects. It works well as a manual focus, aided by a zoomed-in view of your shot with optional highlights around the edges that are in focus, and also for tweaking the aperture. For most other functions it reacts rather too slowly with too much turning involved to work as a control shortcut.
Sony RX100 – casual use
The zoom is a lowly 3.6x affair, but aside from that there's just about everything you'd demand from a powerful compact and more. Sony's cutting edge multi-shot image compositing tech delivers excellent clarity and shadow detail in low-light situations, with or without the pop-up flash. You can choose between two auto modes: "Superior" does a better job of enhancing your shots but adds a second or two delay before you can shoot again, while "Intelligent" skips some of that so it's ready to shoot again in less time.
Sony RX100 – picture quality
Picture quality is very impressive. The optics and large sensor deliver images that are naturual and well balanced with very little distortion at 1:1 pixel level. And because you've got 20 million of those, considerable cropping after the event is a realistic proposition, especially if you're shooting in RAW format.
Sony RX100 – video
Video quality is another major win. Notch it up to 1080p at 50 frames per second and you'll be delighted with the smooth, detailed footage.
Sony RX100 review – verdict
There's no doubt that the RX100 delivers the goods, but it has strong competition in the shape of the Fujifilm FinePix X10 and Canon Powershot S100. We'd advise getting hands-on with all three if at all possible, but if not, we'll sum up that three-way by saying Fuji wins on style, Canon wins on value and Sony wins on skills and modesty.

Summit Up 1-29-13: What's in a name?
Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that's wondering if there's some kind of specialized baby name book that circulates around Hollywood.
We all know that celebrities are often crazy and attention-grabbing types, but never does it seem to really hit home so much as when we hear what they've decided to name their kids.
It seems there are several choices you can make, as a celebrity, to come up with a new way to shock fans. Naming the child after an object, for example, like Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow), Moon Unit (Frank Zappa), or Camera (tennis player Arthur Ashe).
If that doesn't appeal, why not choose the name of a super hero, like Nicholas Cage's son Kal-El, or a name that sounds like a super hero that an internet quiz made up, such as Moxie Crimefighter (Penn Jillette) or Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee).
If all that sounds exhausting, then just take a page out of the book of George Forman, the professional boxer, who named each of his five sons George: George Jr., George III, George IV, George V and George IV.
But we're not complaining too much, because crazy names sure do keep those gossip magazine headlines interesting, and we like to read those while we're standing in line at the grocery store. We out.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

The titled of this blog post is an article published by Brenda Neece in The Galpin Society Journal (Volume 56, June, 2003). I had downloaded it some time ago (JSTOR is my friend!) but in between lessons yesterday I decided to skim the contents. Some very interesting tidbits here, and I had already learned a bit about some of the usage of the cello in Scottish folk music through an article written by Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas in the Strings Magazine. In particular, the opening two paragraphs:
In Scotland, the fiddle and cello reigned supreme as the dance band of choice in the golden age of Scottish music and dance—the second half of the 18th century and even well into the 19th.The famous dance fiddler Niel Gow (1727–1807), the doyen of Scottish fiddlers, was in great demand to play for village dances and society balls often with his brother Donald on cello. There are eyewitness accounts of the dancers having to leave the ballroom because of the excitement created by the musicians.
Scottish music publishers did a thriving business printing collections of reels, jigs, strathspeys, and other dance tunes that included not only the melody, but also a bass line for the cello, or "bowed bass" as it was known. The written bass line was often quite rudimentary, serving only as a guide; as the publishers often assumed that cellists would prefer to improvise their own accompaniments.
really intrigued me.
Brenda Neece's article
the Scottish fiddle tradition may provide a clue about the function of this system. In this tradition, boys seem to have learned to play the bass fiddle first-even though it might have been cumbersome for a child, it had the simplest parts-and then they moved up to the treble. By learning the easiest part first, a player could perform in a group earlier in his training, and thus gain the most performance experience possible. Some bass players then reversed the process and, after learning the tunes on the fiddle, played them on the bass fiddle. Such a pedagogical tradition might help explain some of the unusual fingerings in early cello treatises.
The author goes on to explain how many of the early 18th century cello treatises in Britain included what we would normally associate with violin fingerings. Continue reading ""The Cello in Britain: A Technical and Social History""

I'm trying to take the Sorcerous Power feat, but it doesn't show up in character builder. I assume this is because do not fulfill the prerequisites.
The feat states:
Prerequisite: Any multiclass sorcerer feat, paragon multiclassing as a sorcerer
As I understand it, this means:
- take a Sorcerer multi-class feat (e.g. Arcane Prodigy)
- take a Sorcerer paragon path (e.g. Essence Mage)
However, this doesn't make the Sorcerous Power feat visible in Character builder. How can I fulfill the prerequisites, what am I doing wrong?

TACE (tumor necrosis factor-alpha converting enzyme), α-secretase, or ADAM17 is a member of the ADAM family of proteases that contain both disintegrin and metalloprotease (catalytic) domains. This enzyme is involved in sperm-egg binding and fusion, muscle cell fusion, neurogenesis, modulation of Notch receptor and ligand processing, and processing of the pro-inflammatory cytokine, TNFα. TACE is currently being explored as a target for anti-inflammatory drugs. SensoLyte® 520 TACE Activity Assay Kit uses a 5-FAM (fluorophore) and QXL® 520 (quencher) labeled FRET peptide substrate for continuous measurement of enzyme activity. In the intact FRET peptide, the fluorescence of 5-FAM is quenched by QXL® 520. Upon cleavage of the FRET peptide by the active enzyme, the fluorescence of 5-FAM is recovered, and can be continuously monitored at excitation/emission = 490 nm/520 nm. With superior fluorescence quantum yield and longer emission wavelength, 5-FAM/QXL® 520 based FRET peptide has less interference from the autofluorescence of test compounds and cellular components and provides better assay sensitivity. The kit can be used to detect the activity of TACE or screen for TACE inhibitors. The assays are performed in a convenient 96-well format.
Kit size: 100 assays

Pre/Post Alarm Recording – Start record video before and after an alarm is triggered. This feature works with the motion detection capability of the DVR or alarm contacts attached to a door or window. When an incident is detected, in addition to recording the activity being monitored, the DVR records a pre-set amount of time before and after the event to the hard drive. This enables you to see what happened before and after motion was detected and view additional information about the circumstances leading up to and after it.
Motion Detection – Save hard drive spent and time searching video where nothing is happening. This feature allows you to pre-define zones within the area covered by each camera so that the DVR only starts recording when motion is detected within the zone. This saves hard drive space and reduces the amount of video recorded, making it easier to find the video you need if there is an event. This feature also enables you to get alerted by alarm and email when there is an incident, with the option to choose between a text email or a short video clip of the event.
Automated Email Alerts – Be notified when an event occurs. The DVR will automatically send an email alert with a text notification or an image when an event triggered by motion has occurred. This provides a record of the event and enables you quickly to take action when an incident occurs.Security Grade Hard Drive – For continuous 24/7 recording. Our hard drives are built for the rigorous demands of surveillance applications. They operate at a lower temperature and deliver smother video streaming with less vibration than standard consumer-grade hard drives. Our NVRs use security-grade hard drives to provide continuous recording of surveillance video, improve reliability, and offer better all-round performance.

A woman with skill and ambition during the rigid, male-dominate social structure of Korea's Joseon Dynasty faces many obstacles on the road to success.
This legendary story is about Seo Jang Geum (Lee Yeong Ae), a girl from the working-class caste who manages to get a job as a hard-working kitchen apprentice in the royal palace. But jealousy from a power-hungry family that has long ruled the royal kitchen results in Jang Geum being exiled to Jeju Island.
While there, she befriends a female doctor, and Jang Geum convinces her to reach her medicine, which allows her to return to the royal palace as a physician-in-training. With dedication and perseverance, Jang Geum overcomes tremendous hurdles to eventually rise to the highest position held by a female doctor in the royal court, saving the lives of many royal family members, while being fueled by the love of the young scholar Min Jeong Ho (Ji Jin Hee).
"Jewel in the Palace" is a South Korean historical drama directed by Lee Byung Hoon that originally aired from September 15, 2003 to March 23, 2004 and has enjoyed tremendous popularity worldwide. It ranks as the 10th most popular drama in Korea of all time.

Bill Pohlad, a producer who has overseen such films as Brokeback Mountain, Into the Wild, Tree of Life, and 12 Years a Slave, as well as the musically inclined biopic The Runaways, makes his directorial debut (technically a sophomore effort as his original debut was canned in the early 1990s) with a biopic of The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson that, while not a perfect film, is an interesting and sometimes illuminating portrait of an artist as a young and older man.

Shutting down Say Anything
Deadline reported yesterday that NBC was moving ahead with a TV show based on Say Anything. It's 10 years later but also 2014. (I don't understand either, but OK.) Lloyd is single because Diane dumped him but now she's coming back into town and he tries to get her back. Full Story
Map to the latest mindf-ck
David Cronenberg's next film is called Maps To The Stars featuring Julianne Moore, John Cusack, Robert Pattinson, and Mia Wasikowska. There's another reason why Lindsay Lohan will never: Mia Wasikowska, whose chill detachment and uncontrived aloofness (oh hi Rooney Mara) is perfect for Cronenberg's latest mindf-ck. Full Story
Career Prospectus: John Cusack
For previous installments of Sarah's Career Prospectus series, please click here. I just saw The Spectacular Now yesterday and loved it. Miles Teller reminds me of a young John Cusack in the best of ways. Which got me thinking. What happened with that career? Just bad choices? I've heard from a reliable source that he's a total douche and while I don't want to believe it, I wouldn't be surprised. Full Story
Granny is blonde and her husband is angry
Nicole Kidman was photographed yesterday on the New Orleans set of The Paperboy with John Cusack who plays a death row inmate. Gran plays a freak ass woman who writes love letters to him. And Matthew McConaughey and Zac Efron Cusack are trying to save him. Interestingly enough, Sofia Vergara was originally confirmed for Nicole's part. Full Story
Much fondness for both Vince Vaughn and John Cusack and the sentiment is not unique. They are funny and quirky …and bloated. Getting older and getting bloated. Check out Vince earlier this week at some event and John in London yesterday for the premiere of his new movie Grace is Gone – two renowned bachelors whose hard partying days have caught up with their faces.

Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is an eight-day (seven in Israel) holiday that celebrates freedom, by retelling the story of the ancient Israelites' liberation from Egypt. Special symbolic foods are arranged on the seder table, and we read out loud the haggadah, a book that tells the story of the exodus. One of the main goals of having a seder is teaching children about the exodus, encouraging questions from them in the hope that they will learn to appreciate (and fight for – my father would add) the gift of freedom. It's not that hard to keep kids interested and involved, as this is one of the rare occasions when they are allowed to stay up REALLY late at night, which in itself feels like a big deal to the young ones. However, if a family seder with a couple of cousins can be fun, a whole community seder with a couple of hundred people and a bunch of kids of different ages can be a total blast, and if you ever visit Venice for Passover and make sure to reserve a spot on time, you will be able to witness just that (you may want to bring ear plugs). The tradition of the public seder in the social hall in Venice goes back to 1891, making it the oldest in Italy. Apparently, it was nothing short of revolutionary, for a traditional community with an orthodox rabbi to have a public seder (which is generally more of a reform tradition, unless one is at a vacation resort). However, the Venetian mutual aid society "Cuore e Concordia" (heart and concord), which initially created the seder only for children and the poor or people left without a family, later realized that, with the increasing level of assimilation, there were many families that lacked a person capable of leading a traditional seder and reading from the Haggadah in Hebrew, and opened the event to the whole community.
Fast-forward more than 120 years, and every Passover, about 200 people (half of the Jews of Venice… plus some tourists, of course) celebrate with a degree of energy and joy that are rarely seen in a smaller context, culminating in the children's loud singing of "Capretto" (Little Goat), the local version of the famous Passover song "Had Gadya". One of the consequences of having a large public meal every year is that the traditional menu for the whole community has become crystallized, and changing any item would feel like converting to a different religion. In particular, we are all very attached to the vegetable sides: artichokes, of course; stewed fennel; and this sweet-and-sour carrot stew, which will remind some of you of Tzimmes, but it's much less sweet. Make sure you use the best organic carrots you can find, and to cook them until they are quite soft: they are supposed to be stewed, and not sautéed.
- 2 lb carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup raisins, plumped in hot water
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 4-5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or a mix of olive oil and schmalz, for the tastier classic version!)
- 2-4 tbsp white wine vinegar, or to taste
- salt and pepper
- water
Place the oil (or oil and chicken fat) in a pot or skillet with the sliced carrots, and drizzle with about 1/2 cup water.Add salt, and cook on low heat, covered, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes. Add the raisins and pine nuts and some black pepper, and cook uncovered, over high hear, for 2 to 5 minutes longer or until desired tenderness (the carrots should be soft). When they are almost done, add the vinegar and cook for one more minute or until it's absorbed.
