With regard to management options, the three primary classes of switches are unmanaged, managed, and Web smart. Which you choose depends largely on the size of your network and how much control you need over that network.
Unmanaged switches are basic plug-and-play switches with no remote configuration, management, or monitoring options, although many can be locally monitored and configured via LED indicators and DIP switches. These inexpensive switches are typically used in small networks or to add temporary workgroups to larger networks.
Managed switches support Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) via embedded agents and have a command line interface (CLI) that can be accessed via serial console, Telnet, and Secure Shell. These switches can often be configured and managed as groups. More recent managed switches may also support a Web interface for management through a Web browser.
These high-end switches enable network managers to remotely access a wide range of capabilities including: •SNMP monitoring. •Enabling and disabling individual ports or port Auto MDI/MDI-X. •Port bandwidth and duplex control. •IP address management. •MAC address filtering. •Spanning Tree. •Port mirroring to monitor network traffic. •Prioritization of ports for quality of service (QoS). •VLAN settings. •802.1X network access control. •IGMP snooping. •Link aggregation or trunking.
Managed switches, with their extensive management capabilities, are at home in large enterprise networks where network administrators need to monitor and control a large number of network devices. Managed switches support redundancy protocols for increased network availability.
Web-smart switches—sometimes called smart switches or Web-managed switches—have become a popular option for mid-sized networks that require management. They offer access to switch management features such as port monitoring, link aggregation, and VPN through a simple Web interface via an embedded Web browser. What these switches generally do not have is SNMP management capabilities or a CLI. Web-smart switches must usually be managed individually rather than in groups.
Although the management features found in a Web-smart switch are less extensive than those found in a fully managed switch, these switches are becoming smarter with many now offering many of the features of a fully managed switch. Like managed switches, they also support redundancy protocols for increased network availability.

A cask strength bottling of 30 year old whisky, bottled as Linlithgow, but distilled in 1973 at the St Magdalene distillery, a superb, well-aged Lowland single malt.
The nose is quite full and rich. There are notes of juicy berry fruits and the liqueurs made thereof: kirshwasser, fraise des bois and maraschino. There are some notes of citrus with malty barley and a touch of woody oiliness. The charred oak notes develop with hints of winter spice. The palate is quite full and well-balanced. There are notes of damson jam and more of those fruit liqueurs. Rubbed petals emerge with a fruity sponge character and granary toast with honey and a little crème de cacao. The finish is long and quite dry with a hint of orange peel.

Carlson and Neul have launched RuralConnect, the first commercially available radio networking system to deliver the full promise of TV white space broadband to WISPs (Wireless Internet Service Providers). RuralConnect, the first product in a line co-created by the two leaders in white space technologies, follows the announcement of a global partnership in October 2011, and is aimed at bringing affordable broadband to millions around the world.
The Neul and Carlson system will give users up to 16 Mbps of bandwidth for each available vacant TV channel and unmatched ability to make long range, non-line-of-sight links. Designed specifically for the needs of wireless Internet service providers (WISPs), RuralConnect has been priced to make it immediately commercially viable. Samples and development kits are available now, with volume shipments of the new system to start as soon as Q2, 2012.
Thanks to the extension of the Payroll Tax Bill, passed in February 2012, white space radio is now fully available in the US, opening up a host of opportunities and new markets that are currently difficult to serve without expensive licensed spectrum or extensive infrastructure. This has piqued the interest of many investors and venture capitalists looking to tap in to the unlimited possibilities of this emerging technology.
RuralConnect technology, jointly developed by Neul and Carlson, uses 'white spaces,' (or unused portions of UHF spectrum), for digital communication. Due to its outstanding propagation characteristics, UHF signals can travel through walls and other obstacles: Line of sight is not needed to the subscriber's home.
However, it is not enough just to be able to send a signal a long way. On long-range links reflections from buildings and terrain cause signals to travel via many different routes from the transmitter to the receiver. These multipath signals interfere can with each other, potentially causing unreliable, slow connections. RuralConnect uses state of the art SCFDE technology to cancel the effect of multipath allowing reliable long range connections, whatever the terrain.
As a result WISPs using the new system can offer superior coverage over wide areas with limited base-station sites. It also enables the transfer of more data at higher data rates, driving additional revenue with minimal additional investment. Depending on the area, up to 20 channels are available, increasing the amount of non-line-of-sight capable spectrum available by a factor of 10.
Concurrently, Carlson is launching a line of omnidirectional and sectoral, high-gain, base-station antennas designed specifically for TV white-space broadband. The first of their kind, these antennas are powerful, affordable, and energy efficient.
"RuralConnect marks a major milestone in the realization of white space technologies, which have been in development for a while," commented Luke D'Arcy, VP of Marketing at Neul. "The outstanding propagation characteristics of white space signals means that operators can to serve customers they cannot reach with existing wireless technology. The capacity available allows pioneering WISPs to offer all customers faster plans that beat ADSL based competition. And this is possible without investing in new tower sites, spectrum licenses or high priced network equipment, boosting profitable growth."
"We are well-positioned to make the most of the TV white space opportunity," said Jim Carlson, CEO of Carlson. "We have the regulatory experience, tactical partnerships, and pre-emptive technology to successfully deliver this market-disruptive product.
RuralConnect is a proprietary combination of Carlson's hardware and Neul's software, resulting in an affordable, high-performance system that is attracting the attention of investors globally."
Carlson and Neul have been at the forefront of the white space radio revolution internationally. Neul also launched the first production white space radio equipment, NeulNET, (which forms the technological basis of RuralConnect), in June 2011. Both companies have taken part in numerous white space trials around the world, and are playing a core role in guiding and shaping the industry, regulations and rollout of this revolutionary communications technology. Recently, Carlson was chosen by Pacific Crest Securities, an investment bank focused exclusively on technology, as one of the top two "key technology disruptors within the communications industry to watch in 2012."

It seems Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's older sister, Randi, wasn't too happy someone outside her inner circle saw -- and then tweeted -- a family photo she shared on her brother's social media site.
The photo shows her sisters using Facebook's new Poke app, which is similar to the popular sexting app Snapchat, on their smartphones. In the photo, Zuckerberg was looking on with a strange look on his face.
'Way Uncool'
Callie Schweitzer, director of marketing and special projects at Vox Media, saw the photo on her feed. Thinking it was a public photo, she tweeted it to about 40,000 Twitter followers. The Zuckerberg sister wasn't too happy about that.
"Not sure where you got this photo," she tweeted at Schweitzer. "I posted it to friends only on FB. You reposting it to Twitter is way uncool. I would hate for a private photo of mine to be public and would never want to do same to others."
Schweitzer replied to Zuckerberg's Twitter message, saying, "I'm just your subscriber and this was top of my newsfeed. Genuinely sorry but it came up in my feed and seemed public."
Zuckerberg answered Schweitzer, saying she probably saw it because she's friends with her sister, thanked her for the apology and said she's "just sensitive to private photos becoming 'news.' "
Schweitzer ultimately deleted the photo and Randi tweeted about digital etiquette. She wrote, "Digital etiquette: Always ask permission before posting a friend's photo publicly. It's not about privacy settings, it's about human decency."
Who's to Blame?
Is it about privacy settings? Are Facebook's privacy settings too confusing for even Zuckerberg's own family to figure them out? What happened here?
When you tag people in a photo, those images can also be seen by any of that person's friends. You can change that setting by creating a "Custom" option under photo sharing. It's not confusing, but it's not second nature, either.
So is Facebook ultimately to blame here? Or was it sister Zuckerberg's fault? Or is Schweitzer to blame? "Everyone likes to bash Facebook," tweets security expert Dan Kaminsky. "But Randi Zuckerberg is right. Making the semi-private fully public violates social norms."
Consider that before you assign blame.

Migraine fever symptoms: an introduction
Migraine attacks can have a range of symptoms. These migraine symptoms vary from person to person. Some migraine sufferers complained of fever during migraines.
Fever may be a sign of a more serious or life-threatening condition such as stroke, meningitis or encephalitis. Seek immediate medical assistance if you experience fever, particularly if the fever comes along with stiff neck, problems speaking, lack of balance, facial weakness, weakness in the arms or legs or fainting.
Definition of fever
For an adult, when the body's temperature is at or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, it is considered a fever. For children, the temperature is considered fever depending on where it is taken.
Children have a fever is when the temperature is at or above:
- Rectally 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit
- Orally 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit
- Under Arm 99 degrees Fahrenheit
Can migraines cause fever
It is difficult to say what causes different migraine symptoms. Sometimes symptoms that occur are caused by the same bodily functions that cause migraine pains. In other cases, the symptoms can be because of another disorder or ailment that occurs at the same time as the migraine attack. In some cases, migraine sufferers say migraines do cause fever when they have attacks.
Studies on migraine and fever
One study of 1,787 children with migraines in Rome between 1981 and 1995 found that 9 percent had fever.
Other factors that can cause fever
- Heat exhaustion
- A woman's menstrual cycle
- Arthritis
- Viral or bacterial infection
- Autoimmune diseases
- Certain medications
- Vasculitis, inflammation of blood vessels
- Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease
- Immunizations
- Teething in infants
- Certain cancers
- Strong emotions
- Physical activity
- Blood clots
- Elevated room temperature
- High humidity
- Heavy clothing
- Time of day – temperature is typically higher in the evening
Managing migraine symptoms can be helped by keeping an accurate account of each migraine attack in your migraine journal. Rate the severity of your symptoms, how often they occur and how long they last. This will help determine what your migraine triggers are as well as help you prepare to treat migraines before the pain becomes too severe. Your migraine journal will also help you discuss your symptoms with your migraine specialist.

Question: I have noticed that some food packages are labeled "gluten-free." What exactly is gluten, and why is it on the label?
Answer: Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. Most people have no problems eating gluten. However, gluten should be avoided by people who have an autoimmune condition known as celiac disease. In celiac disease, gluten prompts the body to produce antibodies that attack the small intestine. Injury to the intestine causes symptoms such as abdominal pain or discomfort. The injury keeps the intestine from working properly often leading to poor absorption of nutrients. People who have celiac disease may then have weak bones from not absorbing enough calcium. They may also have difficulty absorbing enough iron resulting in anemia or a low number of red blood cells which are needed to carry oxygen in the body. Children with celiac disease may have difficulty gaining weight and growing well. People with celiac disease may have problems with constipation or with diarrhea. Celiac disease that is untreated also increases the risk of certain types of cancer.
About one in 130 people have celiac disease. Celiac disease often runs in families. If a person is diagnosed with celiac disease, his immediate family members such as his parents and siblings should be screened as well. Screening is done with a blood test. If the blood test is abnormal, then the diagnosis of celiac disease is confirmed by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy which is also known as an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). During this procedure, biopsies or small tissue samples of the intestine are obtained to look for the telltale signs of celiac disease. Certain conditions are associated with a higher risk of celiac disease including Type I diabetes, Turner's syndrome, and Down's syndrome. People with these conditions should also be screened for celiac disease.
The treatment for celiac disease is a gluten-free diet. Anyone with celiac disease should avoid wheat, rye, and barley. Oats should also be avoided because they are usually processed on equipment that is contaminated by gluten containing grains. Reading food labels is essential for anyone who has celiac disease. The FDA is currently working on stricter guidelines regarding when the label "gluten-free" can be applied. These guidelines should be available in 2008.
People with celiac disease also need to be vigilant at restaurants or social gatherings where it may be difficult to determine the ingredients the food that is served. Many people who have celiac disease report that the loss of the spontaneity of eating at any restaurant or going to a party without having to ensure that there are gluten-free items is one of the most difficult aspects of living with the disorder. Some restaurants offer gluten-free menus which is a welcome option for those with celiac disease.

Trump Nominates 'Alligator' Clayton To Run SEC 16 hours ago Trump has been filling his administration with swamp creatures, and Wall Street bailout lawyer Jay Clayton, Trump's pick to head the SEC, appears to be one more alligator.
America Can't Afford Another Gorsuch in Government 19 hours ago Neil Gorsuch is not the first in his family to seek high office. As a teen he watched his mother, former EPA chief Anne Gorsuch, as she oversaw the mishandling of funds and withheld evidence from Congress. He later condoned these actions.
Trump Promised Bigly Infrastructure, His Budget Cuts It 20 hours ago Candidate Trump swore fixing roads and bridges would be at the top of his list of spending priorities. Unfortunately, in his "America First" budget blueprint, the rubber doesn't meet the road.

Democrats Should Focus More on Jobs, Less on Russia 4 days ago Democrats must confront the moral horrors of Trump's policies head-on: jobs, healthcare, civil rights and the Supreme Court are all under attack. We must defend these first, even if there's a 'smell of treason' in the air.
Grassroots Power Stalls Trumpcare 4 days ago People's Action groups stood up in Pennsylvania and other states to let elected officials know we won't let them trade away health care for a tax break to the richest two percent of the country.
Alaska, Montana & Indian Health Benefits Under Fire 5 days ago The story of Alaska and Montana is not front and center in the health-care debate in the House, but it should be. Both states get a raw deal under the GOP's plan, and Montana doesn't even get a vote.
We Have The Chance Now To Go Bold On Health Care – And Freedom – For All 5 days ago Republicans won't be able to erase what may be one of the Affordable Care Act's most important accomplishments: significant progress on the idea that all people should get health care; that health care should be a public good.
GOP Health Bill Endangers the Lives of Trans People 6 days ago Trans people may lose health care under the GOP, just because they are trans. We need to fight for what we all deserve: health care in which no one fears dying because we don't have the resources or access to stay alive.
Words That Hurt Our Public Schools, And Ones That Help 6 days ago Our public schools are not failing. They're being attacked. And the weapon of choice in the assault is the English language. Here's how we fight back.
Communities Say: Trump Water Policies Make Us Sick! 6 days ago Detroit, Reno and other cities across the country rallied on World Water Day to demand that our representatives defend our access to safe drinking water and stop cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Speaking Truth to Lies in the Trump Era 6 days ago We live in a new era, with untruths all around us. Here are ten ways advocates, journalists, and everyday people can cut through the lies and get the real story out in what we write and say.
Reaffirm Our National Community By Forgiving Student Debt 6 days ago This is a more important time than ever to reaffirm our bravest and highest values. Jubilee – the ancient concept of debt forgiveness as an affirmation of community – reflects those values.
Republican Budget Endangers Americans at Work and Home 7 days ago Trump's budget doesn't make us secure. It slashes and burns protections to our environment, labor and education. Americans sickened by pollution are weak. Workers threatened by explosions on the job are less safe, not more.

With the profusion of hunting in Canada it confounds the mind why no captive farm raised bird may be shot up there.
If more US participation is desired more double/double back to back Thur/Sun trials, like in the Su, between late June early Sept and well advertised may suck some over the border while in northern states for summer training.
If CKC allows could hold "Canadian" trials in FL in winter.

Doberman Pinscher Information, Pictures of Doberman Pinschers
Doberman Pinscher Dogs In spite of their fearsome reputation, Doberman Pinschers are loving, affectionate intelligent dogs. They are also known to be conscientious and sensitive, crafty and attentive, which would explain their success as police and military dogs. What They Are Like to Live With More than anything, these are people-oriented dogs, craving attention, positive reinforcement and quality time with the family. When properly trained and socialized, they can be sweet and easygoing with children. Don't be afraid of your Doberman. They need a firm owner, and everyone in the house should know how to discipline them (in a very positive way, of course). They can get pushy if they have their way for too long. If you're not prepared to work with your Doberman, you might try a more manageable breed. Doberman Pinschers (pinscher means "biter" in German) were developed in the 19th century by a German tax collector named Louis Doberman. He bred these fearsome dogs to protect him on his daily rounds. Taking advantage of his part-time job at an animal shelter, he used a mix of dogs—probably Rottweilers, Black and Tan Terriers and German Pinschers—to create the classic Doberman. In 1921, the Doberman Pinscher Club of America was founded, helping to promote the breed in the U.S. The Look of a Doberman PinscherDoberman Pinschers have a lean, powerful and distinguished frame. They have a poised, alert, ready-to-movie stance and a lively, intelligent expression. Dobermans have a deep, broad chest, a strong neck and a medium-sized, square and muscular body. Their heads are wedge-shaped with alert, dark eyes and ears that are either cropped or pointing up. They have docked tails (usually) and straight limbs. Dobermans can come in black, black & tan, bluish gray, fawn, red and white. Overall, they have a courageous, determined and proud look. Talk About Doberman Pinschers A protective but loving breed I have had dobermans all my life. My boyfriend now has three of them, two red and one white. They are the best dogs to have. Very protective but loving. They do like to ... |

Cash, note from infamous 'Barefoot Bandit' to be auctioned off.
RAYMOND, Wash. -- A Pacific County animal shelter hopes to benefit from a compassionate gestures made by one of the state's most notorious fugitives.
Colton Harris-Moore is known as the "Barefoot Bandit" because he committed several of his crimes during a two-year, international crime spree that ended in 2010 without wearing shoes.
While running from the law in May 2010, he stopped at Vetter's Animal Hospital in Raymond.
He left $100 and a note reading, "Drove by, had some extra cash. Please use this money for the care of animals."
It was signed by Harris-Moore, who added, "AKA Barefoot Bandit, Camano Island, Washington."
At the time, the 19-year-old was wanted for a series of international break-ins and car, boat and airplane thefts.
A month later he was arrested and later sentenced to seven years in prison.
Earlier this year the veterinarian at the hospital was given the cash and copies of the police reports.
"We're hoping we can make a thousand dollars, maybe more," said Dr. Gina Lewis, the veterinarian at Vetter's Animal Hospital.
Lewis has framed the cash and the police paperwork documenting Harris-Moore's fingerprints were found on the cash.
She plans on putting the items for sale on eBay to raise money for Raymond's animal shelter, the Harbor Association of Volunteers for Animals (HAVA).
"We've had a lot of feral cat projects that get very expensive," said Lewis, who is on HAVA's board.
Lewis said she has heard from critics saying she should not help a criminal get his wish. She hopes that does not keep anyone from buying the items.
"Just because he has a tender heart for animals does not mean other people shouldn't support that," said Lewis.
"We're just going to feed animals," added Lewis," Get them healthy and find them new homes."

When you are done with your exam, click the Finish Exam button, or press Ctrl-Q (Windows) or CMD-Q (Mac). These are the only ways to exit the program (don't worry if you accidentally click the Finish button during your exam because you will be given a chance to return to your exam on the next screen.) Once you have exited the program, you will not be allowed to return to your answer to modify it because the files are encrypted for security purposes.
When you exit the program, EBB automatically saves your final exam in an encrypted format on your hard disk and flash drive. EBB will upload the final version of your exam to the network (if you have chosen that option and your wireless connection is working properly) and then will redirect you to the Submit Exams Web site so that you can manually upload your exam file to the network (as an extra backup precaution).
You will get either a green or yellow screen after you exit EBB. The green screen indicates that your exam was saved to the network and disk successfully. If you are saving to flash drive only (saving to the network is not required), you will get a yellow screen. A yellow screen will also appear if there has been any problem saving to the network or to your flash drive. DO NOT WORRY IF YOU RECEIVE THE YELLOW SCREEN BECAUSE YOUR EXAM HAS BEEN SAVED TO YOUR LAPTOP'S HARD DRIVE. If your final screen color is yellow and you intended for your exam to be saved to the network, note that and the problem described on the screen (network, flash drive, or both) on your flash drive bag and then turn in your flash drive to the proctor. If the screen indicates an error saving to your flash drive, ask a LawIT staff member in your classroom for assistance.
Important NotesRented or Borrowed Laptops:If you are renting or borrowing a laptop to take EBB exams, please see an IT staff member to move all exams taken on that laptop to the network before returning the laptop to its owner or vendor.Pay attention to e-mail sent from the Records Office:If there is a problem printing your exam, the Records Office will notify you via e-mail and/or phone the same day to bring your laptop in for exam recovery.
While we strongly encourage you to test EBB before you take an actual exam, do not type anything you want to read after you finish your test exam. EBB exam files are encrypted and you will not be able to decrypt them.

A 3-gang wall mount Crestron control system with 15 programmable buttons, customizable backlit labeling, LED feedback, 5-way nav pad, volume control knob, and 11 various control ports.
More Details
Crestron MPC is a family of 2-Series control systems designed for installation in a wall or podium, delivering the industry's best multimedia room control technology in a convenient, space-saving design. Perfect for classrooms, meeting rooms, lecture halls, and training facilities, the MPC-M20 provides a fully-programmable user interface featuring an attractive and intuitive layout of pushbuttons with customizable backlit labeling, volume control, 5-way navigation pad, and wireless remote capability.
Available in white or black, the MPC-M20 is constructed to handle the rigors of everyday use in a corporate or educational environment. An assortment of programmable control ports provides connectivity for audio, video, and lighting equipment. The onboard e-Control® Web server provides for complete integration as part of a facility-wide managed control network.
Control...Simplified The MPC-M20 is engineered to be easy to integrate and use, yet versatile enough to suit each application perfectly. Its 15 programmable "hard key" buttons can be freely programmed for system power, input source selection, transport control, lighting presets, and any other functions. Custom backlit labeling of the buttons is facilitated using an assortment of pre-printed labels or Crestron Engraver software. The 5-way directional navigation pad enables full control of DVD players, displays, and other devices that utilize an onscreen menu. Adjusting audio volume and other parameters is enabled using the continuous-turn control knob and LED bargraph.
Configuring a complete MPC media presentation control solution is simplified using Crestron SystemBuilder™ software, allowing limitless programmability from the award-winning platform that's familiar to every Crestron dealer. The MPC Wizard included in SystemBuilder enables setup of a full-featured presentation system complete with lighting control and RoomView® remote management without requiring any programming. Uploading and updating a facility full of MPC systems is managed easily over the network, or individually via the front panel USB port.
Wireless Remote A range of options is available for adding wireless remote control to the MPC system. Its built-in IR receiver allows use of any Crestron IR wireless touchpanel or handheld remote without requiring a separate receiver or gateway. For greater range and freedom of movement, MPC also supports Crestron's full line of RF wireless and WiFi based products.
Wired Expansion Adding a second control panel or just adding a few more buttons is easy using the MP-B10 and MP-B20 Media Presentation Button Panels.

In addition to Cresnet and high-speed Ethernet, there is a bidirectional RS-232 COM port, an IR/serial port, two relays, and four input ports right on the rear panel.
Audio and Video Control The MPC-M20 is ideal for small room systems utilizing a single display device with computers and other sources connected directly to it. But like any 2-Series control system, MPC is fully scalable to suit larger applications with several program sources, microphones, or even multiple displays. Simply add a C2N-VEQ4 module to enable 4 channels of audio volume and EQ control. Or, use any of Crestron's QuickMedia® wall plate and FlipTop interfaces, switchers, and receivers for a total signal routing, processing, and amplification solution.
Ethernet and e-Control®2 Built-in 10/100 Ethernet facilitates secure high-speed network connectivity, enabling extensive capabilities for remote system maintenance and control, and providing an interface to other Crestron control systems. The onboard Web server provides the foundation for Crestron's exclusive e-Control 2 Xpanel technology, providing secure IP-based remote control.

Dana Point presses rules for short-term rentals
DANA POINT After years of discussions, plans to regulate short-term vacation home rentals in the city moved forward Tuesday night with a City Council vote to draft an ordinance establishing rules and regulations.
While the council had few suggestions as far as the details of the regulations, the council directed city staff to draft an ordinance for consideration at a later meeting. Mayor Lara Anderson and Councilman William Brough opposed the resolution.
In September, the council voted 4-1, with Anderson dissenting, to pursue regulations. The council recognized an issue existed with the rentals but shared concern over taking property rights from those who use their homes as rentals.
A recent city-commissioned phone survey of 400 registered Dana Point voters by the consulting firm True North Research said 56 percent of respondents believed that owners should be allowed to rent their properties for short-term vacation use, defined as less than 30 days. Thirty-two percent opposed it, and 12 percent were undecided.
Staff presented the council with ordinances from three other cities – Newport Beach, Mammoth Lakes and Big Bear Lake. Councilwoman Lisa Bartlett said she still wanted to see more data from coastal cities.
"The short-term rents are different type of lodging. Some people prefer more of the home environment as opposed to the hotel room, and I can understand that," Bartlett said, "On the other hand, we don't want to be disruptive to our residential communities, so we have to have some type of a balance. … I'd like to see an extensive matrix with a number of coastal cities that have short-term rental programs in place."
The council labeled Mammoth Lakes and Big Bear Lake as resort towns and said Dana Point was more of a residential city. While Dana Point has four large resorts, the number of short-term rental homes in the city is estimated at 268, while Mammoth Lakes has 2,800 short-term rental homes, Big Bear Lake has 1,200 and Newport Beach has 700, according to a city staff report.
Short-term rentals are banned in the city, but there is little to no enforcement of the lawn, which is what led to years of discussions on the subject dating back to 2007 when the City Council held a meeting to discuss short-term rentals, according to the report.
While the council majority has been leaning toward regulations, the one opponent to the short-term rentals has been Mayor Anderson, whose term expires Dec. 4. "Within our little city … we have 2,000 hotel rooms," Anderson said. "I don't see a huge need for more lodging in this city."
While Anderson has opposed regulating the rentals and instead favored increasing enforcement of the ban, she has been pushing the council to take action either way. "We either need to get some rules or enforce the rules," she said.
The areas with the highest concentration of rental homes are Lantern Village and Capistrano Beach, according to Anderson.
Council members agreed that they would not trump homeowners association rules on short-term rentals.
One resident said he was so fed up with the noise from renters, he offered to trade houses with Councilman Steven Weinberg; Weinberg declined.
"Our area does not deserve it. We've paid taxes to this city and county for a long time, and we deserve the right to have a nice community and a block without these motels," said Capistrano Beach resident Gary Clark.
Weinberg said the problem is not vacation rentals but rather bad behavior on the part of renters and owners.
"What they're talking about is bad behavior of tenants. Vacation rentals aren't a bad thing," he said. "If we make sure we weed out owners who have tenants who have bad behavior, I think we can make it work."
Weinberg also said prohibiting the rentals does not solve the problem, alluding to the failure of alcohol prohibition in the 1920s. "Every time you prohibit something, it doesn't work. We have to figure out how to regulate it," he said.

Nov 29, 2012Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper, while damaged in the shift from the other HD systems to the Wii U, ends up maintaining its appeal as one of this series' best installments.
Nov 27, 2012In the end, I feel like Warriors Orochi 3 is still a great game, but Hyper Edition certainly isn't a standout port.
Nov 29, 2012Hyper is an uglier version of the original Warriors Orochi 3, slower and technically flawed. However, despite the little implementation of the GamePad, the Duel Mode is a great addition, both in single and multiplayer.
Dec 3, 2012Overall, Warriors Orchi 3 Hyper is a good game, but not a great game. There is lots of fun to be had. Unfortunately, there are some graphical issues and game play repetitiveness, but then again most fun things in life are repetitive in their own way.
Dec 11, 2012An interesting Wii U port of an already PS3 / Xbox 360 hack´n slash adventure that offers the same epic battles... with some minor technical issues not found in the original.
Dec 10, 2012Warriors Orochi 3, despite the few expectations for yet another Musou, proved to be a fun and intriguing title, with only some technical issues to ruin the formula.
Nov 21, 2012As it stands, this is absolutely not worth getting if you played the original, and even newcomers will be disappointed by its substandard presentation. The heart of a really good game beats within its chest, but Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper is marred by too many blemishes to do it justice.
Nov 28, 2012Definitely not the best WiiU port around, plagued by aliasing and framerate troubles. Still, it remains one of the best Musou games on the market, and with added content too.
Nov 30, 2012Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper keeps the usual good and bad features from the never ending Musou series, but is plagued by a terrible implementation. Even many months and a console later from the original release, this version is sadly the worst of the pack.
Dec 5, 2012Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper is an uninspired port of an excellent game. There are missed opportunities regarding the Wii U's unique features and the slow down, frame rate and draw distance issues make this version the least appealing on the market. It never breaks the experience completely though, and its bonkers narrative and absorbing hack 'n' slash action is so engaging that's it's easier than you might think to look past the limitations and enjoy the oodles of content.
Nov 21, 2012It may be a flawed experience, but it's certainly an addictive one.
Nintendo PowerDec 14, 2012It's still a fun time, but this port feels a bit rushed. [Dec 2012, p.84]
Dec 27, 2012Competent sums it all up really. If you like the idea of an action RPG with a big emphasis on the action, lots of repetition, and game design that never quite achieves the entertainment level you think that it could, you'd be fairly well served by this.
Nov 30, 2012When it comes to content, this is the most comprehensive version of Warriors Orochi 3 – especially the Duel mode is an interesting addition. But with framerate problems as well as less detailed textures than on 360 or PS3 it is hard to wholeheartedly recommend this game.
Dec 6, 2012Warriors Orochi 3 for Wii U is graphically a little below the PS3 and 360 versions, and the new content is not so great, but it is still very good and offers a coop mode in which each player plays on his own screen (TV/GamePad), which is a good addition.
Dec 10, 2012For a launch game, Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper works well on the Wii U, giving players something different opposed to your more mainstream releases. Gameplay is quite fluidic but the only set back is the graphically limitations of the port. Nonetheless, it's a fine example of what the Wii U can do with some classic Koei gameplay.
Jan 10, 2013The porting process has made for a disappointing mess. Pray for a patch. [Jan 2013, p.104]
Jan 2, 2013What it lacks in graphical fidelity, Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper more than makes up for in every other area, with the standard en masse battling fare proving as thrilling as ever, now complete with crazy time travelling storyline to make the missions more intriguing.

Computers and computer technologies are important in a number of facets of motion picture production. Prior to computerization, animation and graphics relied solely on the technique of stop motion--where hand drawing or painting of many, slightly varied images is done and each image is photographed, frame by frame. When displayed at normal motion picture speed (24 frames per second), an animated image is produced. Now, software makes the computerized creation of animated images and scenes routine. Also, computerized enhancement or supplementation can change the character of films involving real people and objects.
Prior to computer animation and computer generated graphical images, animation could be produced two ways. Even in the present day, these methods are still used. The first animation method is to draw or paint a succession of cartoon frames, which are then combined into a film. The second method uses physical models capable...

text: This iOS-Inspired OS X Concept Looks Good Enough to TouchAdam Clark Estes12/19/13 2:40pmFiled to: AppleOS XDesigniOS655EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkFor at least a couple years now, OS X has started to look more and more like iOS. Lion brought Launchpad and columns of app icons. Mavericks gave us Maps and a cleaned up interface. For his imagining of the next iteration of Apple's operating system, one designer just said, "Screw it. Let's make them the same!"And that's how Andrew Ambrosino's OS X concept was born. This designer's vision is full of flatness, frosted glass and bold colors—just like everybody's favorite new mobile operating system, iOS 7. You just want to reach out and touch it. The type is ultra light. The menu bar is gone. There's a handsome unlock screen. You get the point.But can you get the software? Not until Apple builds it, silly.

Ernie Els managed to avoid the volcanic ash to arrive here from Florida on time yesterday morning – but the South African knew he was flying into an eruption of views concerning his radical overhaul of the West Course. "I'm in the hot seat," he said. "I'm here for the guys to fire their arrows at me."
Despite the Big Easy providing an ample target, his back seems safe enough. On the whole the opinions from his fellow pros were favourable. On the 18th hole they were less so. The climax of Harry Colt's famous layout will look different to the point of being unrecognisable to all those who tune in for the BMW PGA Championship, beginning tomorrow.
Do not adjust your sets as that genuinely is a brook running in front of the green. And no, this is not the latest effect of global warming.
Since Paul Casey's classic battle with Ross Fisher last year, the bulldozers have been running up a £6.5m bill and no hole has been as costly as the last. While many traditionalists will undoubtedly be unimpressed, Els yesterday revealed he had actually persuaded the new owner not to put "a big lake in front of the green". The three-time major winner did confess, however, that there were arguments he did not win. "He pays the bill," laughed Els.
"He" is Richard Caring, better known as an restaurateur who happens to have The Ivy and Le Caprice in his portfolio. As an avowed "golfing nutcase" Caring bought Wentworth in 2005 and set about on a programme of modernisation. He employed Els' design team to undertake the work, but as he told the Financial Times last month, Caring was to play a hands-on role himself. "Ernie's a great guy; he's not cheap, because he's one of the world's finest golfers," said the keen amateur. "But I would also at the same time insist on the things that I wanted to do. I know the game pretty well."
The tale of the owner who comes in with his own ideas on the playing side of affairs is a familiar, some might say a "depressing" narrative in big-time football. In big-time golf it has been unheard-of. Until now. Caring, as Els says, is "an avid golfer with some great ideas".
But even Els is not too sure if the new 18th is one of them. "I lost the argument over the green," he said, before explaining how he wanted it "a little bit lower" to "hold the ball a little bit better". Els is evidently concerned that many of the players here will not be tempted into going for the putting surface in two. "The green really does look small from the fairway, I must admit," he said. "I think you will get 75 per cent of the players laying up unfortunately. That's one of those arguments we had – how difficult do you make it when you want to entice the player to go for the green, or are you going to scare the player away? My opinion is that you are going to scare the player away a little bit for now until they get more courage the more that they play the golf course."
If Els is right then this week's action will be contrary to the ambition. Caring's vision was of a dramatic finish. He saw balls going splash and title hopes sinking. Is this delicious scenario more or less likely now? Well, the jury is out and will likely remain so until at least Sunday evening.
Yet Els figures the former 18th was not the tension raiser it seemed. "We wanted a little bit of drama – with the old green everybody was putting for eagle and it was basically a bit of a soft par five," he said. Padraig Harrington concurred. "We are going to see all sorts of drama from the players at the last," said the Dubliner. "They are going to want to take on the water and by doing that they are going to bring eagle threes and double-bogey sevens into play. Which is exactly how it should be."
Yet Graeme McDowell is not so sure. "It was one of the more dramatic finishes in European golf and it's sad in a way that guys are going to have to lay up," he said. "It used to be a great three. Now it's a good four."
McDowell sounded even less impressed with the par-five 17th. "It is not worth taking on in two, but then that's because they ruined the tee-shot a few years ago," he said. In his mind this new, tougher stretch means that players will not be able to make the giant leaps which were always so tantalisingly possible on Wentworth's Sunday leaderboard. "We won't be seeing a finish like Ben Curtis's again, when he finished with five threes last year," he warned.
Nevertheless, McDowell was largely positive about the alterations. "Fourteen holes of improvement, with three or four question marks," was the Ryder Cup man's assessment. Like everyone, he approved of the greens. In fact, they are the reason so many of the big European names are in Surrey. Padraig Harrington and Ian Poulter were among the stay-aways, making no secret of their dislike for the putting surfaces; they quickly returned when they discovered all 18 were to be dug up. While there is an injury doubt over Poulter (he was in the physio truck yesterday having treatment on his neck) there are five out of the world's top 10 in situ. Els believes they now have a test to match the billing of the Tour's "flagship event".
"This is our fifth major in Europe and it needs to have a bit of teeth," said the world No 7, who himself will be trying to end his PGA drought this week. "Players will have a little bit of a shock for a while, but they will find a way to score around here. And when they master this golf course they will have a lot of confidence going forward into events like the US Open where the courses would intimidate them."
McDowell agreed with Els' US Open comparison and is one of many here praying the West Course's personality revamp will work in their favour. In seven appearances, McDowell has not registered a single top 10. "I haven't got the best record here, but then your record here is inconsequential," he said "Because this is not Wentworth. This is Wentworth Mark II."
Thrilling finale - or a brook too far?
The most notable change in the £6.5m makeover of the West Course is on the 18th where a 100-yard brook now winds it way in front of the raised green on the par five.
Elsewhere the brook has been extended around the green on the eighth, the 12th has been shortened to a par four but made decidedly trickier in the process, while the 16th now features a huge fairway bunker which commands attention.
In fact, no hole has escaped the radical overhaul. All 18 greens have been completely rebuilt to USGA specifications with the latest underground drainage systems installed to ensure the greens perform to the highest standards.
The greens' surrounds were remodelled to add more shape, with colonial bent grass on the putting surfaces and rye-grass surrounds.
All bunkers were also completely reconstructed and in some cases, made deeper and repositioned.
On the card the par is now a 71.
