...location, location. Before building one, advises Kok, you must survey the skies for a regular passage of swiftlets. Once constructed - a three-story birdhouse with room for about 40,000 nests costs roughly $100,000 - you must attract tenants. The maker of the Swiftlet Bazooka Tweeter claims it can broadcast "love calls" to birds flying up to a mile away. Humidifiers keep the interior of the house attractively damp like the caves swiftlets prefer.

...Indeed, the USOC's strategy is mystifying. A Chicago win would be a financial boon to the USOC. Given the buzz around having an Olympics in the States, greater levels of broadcast and sponsorship revenue would trickle down to the USOC and the governing bodies of the Olympic sports. The USOC needs this money, as it has lost valuable sponsors like The Home Depot, General Motors and Bank of America since the onset of the recession. So why not work with the IOC to resolve any issues with the network - or at least hold off on action until...
