For centuries, forests have provided lumber to build cities, pulp for paper mills and a refuge for hunters, fishers and hikers. A flurry of new, green ventures is fueling demand for trees and the debris leftover when they are harvested, which is called waste wood or woody biomass. "There simply is nowhere near enough waste wood for all of these biomass projects that are popping up all over the place," said Marvin Roberson, a forest policy specialist with the Sierra Club in Michigan.]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:55:36 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wis.

The Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene is now taking five to seven months to determine if drivers had drugs such as cocaine or Valium in their system. It's due to stagnant staffing levels and a caseload that has increased nearly 90 percent since a 2003 change in state law. That law says drivers are guilty of driving while intoxicated if they have any detectable amount of illegal drugs such as methamphetamine or marijuana in their system.
