Ginger is available in a variety of forms which include: fresh, dried (ground), juiced, crystallized (candied), pickled, and preserved. Fresh ginger can be purchased as either young or mature. The young ginger, often referred to as spring ginger, is similar to a young cheese. The aroma and taste are mild, while the outer skin and inner flesh retain a soft tender texture. As the ginger matures the texture hardens, the aroma becomes pungent and the flavor becomes spicy. When sliced, chopped or crushed, fresh ginger is generally used to flavor meat, fish, poultry, and vegetable dishes.
The dried powdered form of ginger is popular in Europe and the United States as a flavoring for salad dressings, baked sweets, soups, curries, meats, and desserts, such as gingerbread and gingersnaps. Ground ginger works well for flavoring a variety of foods, however it should not be substituted for fresh ginger in recipes. It has a flavor that enhances and goes well with cinnamon or nutmeg seasonings. Dried ginger can be kept at room temperature away from heat for 6 to 7 months before it begins to lose its flavor. The spicy aroma of the ginger should always be present and if not, it has lost its earthy flavor.
The juice of ginger is another form that can be used for cooking and baking, making it an easy method to add ginger to foods. In most recipes it can be used instead of fresh or ground ginger, adding it to marinades, grilling sauces, salad dressings, stir-fried foods, meats, fish, poultry, soups, and beverages, such as teas or fruit drinks. Ginger juice can be substituted for ground or powdered ginger. 1 tablespoon of juice equals 1 tablespoon of fresh grated ginger or 1 teaspoon of ground ginger.
Crystallized ginger is a form of ginger that has been chopped into small bits, cooked in a corn syrup and then coated with sugar. It is available as either golden tan colored bits that are dried or red candied bits that are packed in a red-colored, sugar syrup mixture. This candied version is a common form used for meats, poultry, desserts, cookies such as ginger cookies, and sweets. It is also added as an ingredient or as a melted topping for glazes and sweet toppings.
Pickled ginger and preserved ginger are both forms that have been preserved in a brine of either sweet vinegar for the pickled version or sugar and salt for the preserved version. Pickled ginger is often served as an appetizer, while the pink pickled version is a common condiment for Japanese sushi, where it is referred to as gari. Preserved ginger is commonly used as a garnish for meats and fish, as a seasoning for desserts or candy, and as an ingredient in salads, sushi dishes, and speciality sandwiches.
When selecting fresh ginger, avoid the roots that are shriveled and dry or soft and spongy feeling. Select those displaying smooth skins and emitting a slightly spicy aroma. When preparing, remove the skin with a vegetable peeler and grate or slice the root, depending on the needs of the food being prepared. Ginger can be frozen to assist with both longer storage of the root as well as easier peeling. If ginger is to be refrigerated for storage, it can be kept in a sealed bag or container for approximately 3 or 4 weeks. If frozen, it can be kept for approximately 4 to 6 months, depending on the condition and age when placed in the freezer.

Home Heating Help Available for Low-Income Utahns
SALT LAKE CITY – October 30, 2012 – (RealEstateRama) — Home Energy Assistance Target (H.E.A.T.) applications will be accepted beginning November 1, 2012 and continue through the end of April, 2013 or until funds are exhausted, the Housing and Community Development Division announced today.
H.E.A.T. helps eligible families pay for home heating, cooling, and other energy costs, as well as helping to weatherize eligible families' homes.
"Falling temperatures put even more pressure on families as they weigh the need to turn on their furnaces," said Housing and Community Development Division director Gordon Walker. "The energy subsidies we are releasing this season will help more families afford heat and avert difficult choices too many Utahns face between paying for heat and paying for other essentials like food and medicine."
To qualify, a family must earn below 150 percent of the federal poverty level, about $34,572 for a family of four. Priority for H.E.A.T assistance is given to households with the highest energy burden in relationship to household income while taking into consideration vulnerable populations such as the elderly, disabled and families with children under six years of age. The average HEAT benefit is a one-time annual payment of $317. Depending on an individual situation, this amount may be higher or lower. Utahns are encouraged to visit our website at www.housing.utah.gov to find their county's contact information, or to dial 2-1-1.
The H.E.A.T. program is administered by the State Energy Assistance and Lifeline office through a statewide network of local community-based organizations. Last year, the funding enabled the H.E.A.T. program to assist more than 41,500 low-income Utah households with their utility bills. The H.E.A.T. program is Utah's version of the federal LIHEAP program (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program LIHEAP). It is funded 100 percent by the Federal Government through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

are critical to the preparation of students for the undersupplied and competitive
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) professions.
As a result, teachers with graduate level studies in science and science education are in high demand in the elementary and secondary environments. An abundance of new job opportunities are expected to be available for the next 10 years that range "from good to excellent" (Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2012).
The graduate degree in Science Education equips teachers with an advanced and integrated knowledge of the physical and life sciences, and promotes essential models of teaching that improve curriculum development and create more positive learning outcomes in young students.
