Exploring Use of Climate Information in Wildland Fire Management: A Decision Calendar Study
We conducted surveys of fire and fuels managers at local, regional, and national levels to gain insights into decision processes and information flows in wildfire management. Survey results in the form of fire managers' decision calendars show how climate information needs vary seasonally, over space, and through the organizational network, and help determine optimal points for introducing climate information and forecasts into decision processes. We identified opportunities to use climate information in fire management, including seasonal to interannual climate forecasts at all organizational levels, to improve the targeting of fuels treatments and prescribed burns, the positioning and movement of initial attack resources, and staffing and budgeting decisions. Longer-term (5–10 years) outlooks also could be useful at the national level in setting budget and research priorities. We discuss these opportunities and examine the kinds of organizational changes that could facilitate effective use of existing climate information and climate forecast capabilities.

Fayetteville Chapter of NOW is sponsoring a Women's Rally, on Saturday, January 20, 2018, at 1pm at the Downtown Market House in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
We are commemorating the anniversary of last year's historic Women's March on Washington (2017), and more importantly, we are celebrating the 45th anniversary of the Supreme Court Decision Roe v Wade (January 22, 1973). It's that historic ruling that declared women's right to privacy, afforded via the 14th amendment (due process), extends and affords women the right to have an abortion.
Additionally, we ask women who believe and realize that they can make a difference to stand with us, to join us. It will be the women (and the men who support us) working to dismantle the barriers that create the following.

Howdy team! How was your week? I was about to say I've had a pretty quiet one but actually that's not strictly true.
I had a nice lunch date this week at Stravaigin with the gorgeous Rozzy and her daughter, who is just as cute as a button. Now, whenever I visit Stravaigin I always have these big plans to try something different, but somehow every time I go I always end up ordering the delicious Nasi Goreng, with prawns and smoked bacon…..it's not my fault tho, it is just so good!!! If you want to hear a bit more about my lovely lunch at Stravaigin, you should pop over to my Instagram where you can watch my mini GeekByte review that I posted up on Saturday morning.
Speaking of my GeekBytes vlogs, I am really loving making them at the moment. I feel they are a really cool add-on feature to the blog. And best of all you guys seem to enjoy them too, which I am really pleased about.
I actually have my next geekbyte footage already recorded, after my brilliant visit to Lychee Oriental this weekend with Mr G and our friends Debs and Paul. I always love my trips to Lychee, it's easily one of my favourite Glasgow restaurants – the food is excellent and I get to see the lovely Jimmy's smiley face which is always a treat. I can't wait to share the wee review with you once I have cut it all together….spoiler tho – I loved it.
In fact my Geekbytes videos will only ever be positive. I know that on occasion I will write up a negative review if I haven't enjoyed somewhere, but I see the videos as a nice addition about places that I enjoy and want to rave about.
In other news, I had a brilliant PT session this week. I mentioned to Andy last week that I had watched a few instagrams videos of muay thai (yes I may have been stalking Sam Heughan at the time, what of it) I decided I wanted to give it a go, so Andy got the pads out for me and let me hit some stuff which I really enjoyed. I think this could definitely be a fitness thing that I could really get into……watch this space!
That's my highlights of the week, next week I actually have 5 food dates in the diary so keep an eye out on twitter and instagram for some mega food porn.
Catch ya later kool kidz!

Allman Brothers Band, Beacon Theater, NYC- 3/21
NYC ROLL-TOP: Creakin' at the Beacon
I got so blindingly schnookered on peach margaritas ('cause Dickey woulda wanted it that way) before the last proper gig of the 2005 edition of the Allman Brothers' Beacon Theater revue that — during their first encore, "Southbound" — I didn't even realize that Phish's Page McConnell was playing keyboards with 'em until Warren Haynes announced it at the end of the tune. I saw him alrighty — a neatly dressed middle aged dude (that I first took for a beardless Rob Barraco) sitting behind a non-descript keyboard in the corner of the stage — but figured he was just another member of the endless cavalcade of extended family members that occasionally spilled forth from crowds assembled on either side of the amp-line. And I guess he kinda was.
The show had already included drummer Yonrico Scott (subbing for Jaimoe on a mid-second set "Desdemona"), keyboardist Chuck Leavell (joining Gregg to recreate the two-keyboard attack of the albums he recorded with the Allmans in the late '70s), the Asbury Jukes' horns (pumping weighty brass into muscular blues rockers), and some little dude standing in front of bassist Oteil Burbridge playing a washboard during the first set that I swear I didn't hallucinate (I asked people around me if they had any idea who he was) (they didn't) and who wasn't mentioned in any setlists posted online. It didn't really matter that I didn't notice McConnell, first, because all night (as usual) the Allmans were doing exactly what they've been doing since 1970, and — second — pretty much any musician they would conceivably bring onstage would have been so profoundly influenced by them anyway that he would just sound like a pretty adequate member of a tribute act.
Derek Trucks, on the other hand, was a really grand member of a tribute act — and possibly the single pillar tethering the band from an oblivion of staid blues-rock boogies. While the Allmans haven't had a genuinely new musical idea since their initial psychedelic combustion of polyrhythmic jazz, gospel-sweet guitar melodies, and swampy blues organ, that one notion remains so bottomless, so rich, that it still seems a joyous wellspring. It is in every strand of Trucks' musical DNA, and obvious in every line his clear, bell-like tone cut through the big band murk, snapping iconic songs like "Midnight Rider" and "Statesboro Blues" into sharp focus with the same power that compelled the Allmans to continue following the deaths of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley, and the gazillion other addictions, break-ups, shitty albums, and marriages to Cher they've weathered since then.
As always, the blues-rock won out, but when they dropped into the jazzy weirdness — where having two drummers actually makes sense — the Allmans never ceased to amaze. On "Les Brers in A Minor" and "Jessica," the jam centerpieces of the second set, Warren Haynes' sturdy sessionman lines melded with Trucks' explorations. "Egypt," a number debuted earlier on the Beacon run, falls squarely into the category, too. With polishing and confidence, the instrumental could be a hypnotically exotic vehicle for Trucks and Burbridge to tease each other into Sun Ra's domain. Haynes and Trucks opened the second set with an acoustic duet on Duane Allman's "Little Martha," not aired by the Allmans in 12 years. Though, given that most of the crowd probably listens to Eat A Peach more than the band's recent live sets, it never really seemed gone — ditto for the first set "Blue Sky" (one of the very few songs in the world as perfect as its popularity suggests).
Despite growing up on Long Island and living in Brooklyn, I'd never been to an Allmans' Beacon show before. And, while none of it surprised me particularly — not the guests, the thrumping dinosaur blues thunder, the cosmos-spanning jams, the giant inflatable mushroom in the lobby, Bill Walton bobbing literally head-and-shoulders above the crowd up front, nor the several hundred absolutely snotted businessmen — none of it disappointed me either. It was good, clean fun. I'm sure we'll all do it again next year.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – A new, $12.9 billion aircraft carrier program will undergo a 60-day review after a key Pentagon official expressed concerns about critical systems on the ship.
The first-in-its-class Gerald R. Ford is currently being tested at Newport News Shipbuilding. The second Ford-class ship, the John F. Kennedy, is under construction.
The Daily Press of Newport News (http://tinyurl.com/jg6mwue ) reports that the review was requested in a memo by Frank Kendall, a Department of Defense undersecretary and key weapons buyer. Kendall's memo expresses concerns about electromagnetic catapults that launch aircraft and the arresting gear that ensures pilots can land safely.
The Navy is pushing to deliver the Ford as soon as November while acknowledging the challenges of untested technology.

We enjoyed the Carolina Opry with our son Mike, daughter-in-law Amy and grandson Kenan who turned 6 in June.
Calvin Gilmore Theatre, Myrtle Beach Performing Arts Series
This was our first visit to The Carolina Opry since last Christmas. While we looked forward to the many beloved performers we've seen in the past, we also loved the new performances that have been added. Take a look at The Carolina Opry 2018 season pricing which provides information about the various shows. Excellent view of the stage and performers. This show has something for everyone, as evidenced in our family group - grandparents, grown children and our grandson. There is truly something for everyone in yor family. Age makes no difference.
Since this was the first live entertainment show Kenan had ever seen, we expected him to be bored with some parts of the performance. In truth, he was not ne in your bored at all. In spite of a few attention gaps, he was very involved with what was happening on the stage. He did not understand all the jokes, but he laughed at the performers along with us and did not fidget! Sometimes he would just point and giggle, then look to see if we got the joke too! Whether we did or not, it made no difference to him as he was enjoying himself.
I told him in advance that "Let it Go" from Disney's 'Frozen' would be performed. Having seen the movie, he looked forward to it, and knew immediately when the music started. His suggestion to The Carolina Opry that "starting tomorrow" they should have songs and scenes from the movie in the background. (Don't bother trying to explain copywrite laws to a six year old. It will get you nowhere! This performance is extraordinary.
Kenan's favorite was "All That" the award-wining clogging group featured twice on "America's Got Talent." The next day kenan was "clogging" on the kitchen tiles saying "Look at me! Look at me!"
Whether as a group or individual performers, The Carolina Opry is awesome! Not only are are cast members accomplished musicians in their own field, you can sese they put their heart and soul into each performance. they want their audience to be involved, as we certainly were!
I have also reviewed Carolina Opry's Christmas Show as well as Good Vibrations (60s, 70s and 80s music.) Both shows should be on your "to-do" list. Northing will put you in the mood for the holidays like the Christmas Show!

Caribbean - Aruba: Free Cruising Guide now Available
Published: 2011-06-27 11:58:35
Countries: Aruba
A FREE cruising guide to Aruba is now available on the web.
The guide has been published by cruisers who recently explored Aruba on a 6ft. draft yacht. In their homepage introduction they say, "one of the most heard remarks is that Aruba can just as well be bypassed on the way to Colombia, but once the cruiser was here; Aruba was found to be a very pleasant surprise.
The friendliness of the people, the efficiency of the officials, and the beauty of the island made the visit worthwhile. Maybe this guide will get you to explore the island waters a little".
Our thanks to Sanders for sending noonsite this news.

PMC, through numerous site visits to clinics and surgical facilities, has determined that there are typically three major stumbling blocks to financial success. In order of importance, the stumbling blocks are:
- Accounts Receivable (Revenue Cycle) Management
- Expense Management
- Organizational and Governance Structure
Healthcare coding and billing is becoming increasingly complex. Not only is the regulatory and compliance landscape changing on a weekly basis, but the tools necessary to provide for a streamlined revenue recovery process are also changing on a regular basis. The PMC revenue cycle management department is a team of dedicated experts who can advise you on all aspects of the revenue cycle management process. This includes consulting to improve coding, advise on the appropriateness of your charge master, perform a managed care contract review, improve policies and procedures, and advise on the structure and optimize operational efficiencies of your Accounts Receivable staff.
When it comes to expense management, PMC will provide you with a benchmarking report to determine if your staffing model is correct, compensation formulas are appropriate, and if supply chain management process is appropriate.


text: I was wondering what it would cost to build a DS from scratch? I think i saw motherboards for like 40 bucks. screens are 22 something. and a case is about 13 or so from the infamous DX. Sow what are we up to? 40+22+13= $75 Now im not sure what i would be missing. A case comes with buttons, screws, and obviously a case. A battery 3.50, L and R pads 1.44, power button 1.30, button pads 1.22, and power switch 1.30, and speakers 1.92, wifi antenna 2.22, mic 1.63, hinge shaft 2.23... $15 more. so 90 bucks? What am i missing?

Amazing Spaces Gallery
Home Staging | Interior Redesign | Color Consultation
A cluttered entry way is not the first impression you want to make on potential buyers.
Removing the area rug and dog bed, along with de-cluttering the entry way, go a long way toward making this space feel more open and spacious. We changed out the busy black & white curtain panels for a neutral cream-colored sheer, allowing more light into the room while making the window seem bigger. Neatly arranged pillows help create a calm, soothing environment. Finishing touches like silk greenery and flowers, a small wall mirror and a tray on the ottoman make the space more inviting, while pops of yellow add some cheerful color.
There's a lot going on in this small space between the rug, wall design, window panels and artwork. All those patterns tend to make the room feel busy, and busy translates to clutter which tends to make a space feel small.
Removing the rug, as shown in the previous entry picture, not only makes the room feel larger, but it reveals the hardwood floors – a key selling feature for this home. From this view, you get a better idea of how the neutral window panels brighten the space. Two large art prints on the patterned wall help tone down the busy-ness of the bold geographic design. The artwork above the TV was replace with a smaller, simpler piece above the TV, and some accessories below it add visual appeal. Toward the back of the room, we removed the tool chest that clearly doesn't belong, as well as the shelf unit that made the space feel cramped. The new dining set we brought in works better with the rest of the furnishings in the room, giving it an overall more updated feel.
A close-up view of the before & after dining room space.
Galley kitchens can make a home harder to sell, mainly because they tend to feel cramped. We made this kitchen feel as large as possible by a) de-cluttering; and b) painting the bright yellow wall the same gray as the opposite wall. A modern glass-tile back splash updates the space and adds considerable appeal. Some unusual wall art was replaced with something more suited to the space and to a broad range of buyers.
While taken from slightly different angles, you can see what a difference these simple changes have made. Too much clutter on shelves and counter tops gives the impression there isn't enough cabinet space, so it's important to put away all but a few essentials. A basket or bin on a shelf can provide storage that is visually appealing. Notice the pops of yellow that carry through from the living and dining room spaces, creating a sense of flow.
About the only thing you notice in this "before" bathroom picture is the wild shower curtain. We create a much more appealing space by replacing it with a white one and pulling it open to reveal the window and glass tile wall. Suddenly, we've added a whole new dimension to this tiny bathroom. Removing the rug also helps make the space feel larger. Fresh towels and wall art complete the look of an attractive, functional space.
Positioning the bed opposite the entry point tends to make a small bedroom feel larger. We moved the dresser to the opposite wall and added a large mirror, adding functionality and light to the space. A small table was brought in to provide a proper nightstand and place for a bedside lamp. Wall art, extra pillows and a coordinating throw help convert this into an inviting and comfortable master bedroom.
This is a great office set-up for two that just needs to be seen! Removing the obstacles at the entry was the first step. We hung a contemporary piece of art at the entry and moved the printer from under the desk to the red shelf. The wall stickers were removed and a curtain panel added (notice the larger window!). Shelves and desk tops were straightened, and a touch of greenery adds warmth. Your eye is drawn into the room in the "after" photo, whereas before, you were stopped short.
A little organization goes a long way in this child's nursery.
A long, narrow family room is a challenging area to stage, but we start by removing the ottomans to open up the walkway. The chairs at each end of the couch just elongate the space, so we removed one chair and added a silk tree to soften the edge. Opening a French door calls attention to that feature and softens the opposite corner. Moving the blanket from its horizontal position in the center of the couch to a vertical position on the far chair larger pillows more in proportion to the couch are subtle changes that help the space feel wider. The orange wall art was replaced with art that simplifies the color scheme. The dark window panels are replaced with a light-colored valance that better fits the window. The result is a much more inviting family room space!

Kitchen & Dining Room
Adjacent to the great room in the previous post is this open concept kitchen and dining area. The same cream colored paint over the wood paneling makes this side of the room feel updated and spacious and shows off the gorgeous vaulted and beamed ceilings. Additional updates included new granite counter tops and light fixtures. Counter tops have been cleared of clutter to give a cleaner, more spacious appearance. The wood cabinets were cleaned and polished, and the back plates were removed to give the cabinet hardware a fresh look. Moving the table perpendicular to the wall opens up the traffic flow and adds to the feeling of spaciousness. Silk greenery above the island cabinet helps to highlight that unique feature and draw the eye upward to the gorgeous vaulted and beamed wood ceiling.
The goal with this combination living and dining room is to make the areas feel more spacious and improve the flow from room to room. By removing the entertainment stand and positioning the shelf unit underneath the wall-mounted TV, the space already seems bigger. Accessories were kept to a minimum, and drapery panels re-hemmed to reach the floor.
Kitchen Staged To Sell
Granite countertops, stainless appliances, tile backsplash and an abundance of cabinets are all key selling features of this kitchen, but they were hard to notice due to too much distracting décor. Reducing the countertop clutter and replacing all but a few of the décor items on top of the cabinets with silk greenery helps the kitchen's best attributes to stand out. Two barstools were also removed to open up the space around the island and allow foot traffic to flow through.
Kitchen Nook – Before / After
This kitchen nook was transformed into a cozy seating area with a warm paint color, a new light fixture, window valance, furnishings and artwork. After the baseboard trim was finished off, a portable dishwasher was moved to allow space for seating. Accessories were place on the built-in shelves to draw attention to that unique feature.
Living Room Before / After
The long, narrow living room in this South Minneapolis bungalow was divided to create separate living and dining areas, making the space more functional. Updated furnishings, artwork and accessories appeal to more potential buyers. Mis-matched window coverings were replaced with matching scarves to frame and highlight the large windows. A fresh coat of neutral-colored paint helped to hide dingy walls and brought out the architectural details in the woodwork.
"Debra gave us great quality at a reasonable price. She made our hum-drum, small house look modern and desirable. Everyone who came through said how great it looked, whether they were interested in buying the home or not.
Debra's eye for style and hard work helped us to secure two offers in only 4 days on the market – even during these tough economic times. I would recommend Amazing Spaces to anyone interested in making their home outshine the rest."
Roberta G.
Dining Room
BEFORE: This dining room appears small and despite the vaulted ceilings. The furniture and light fixture give it a dated appearance.
AFTER: Removing a leaf from the dining room table adds needed space to the room. A large art print on the wall takes attention away from the outdated light fixture and adds a touch of color bringing out the warm tones in the woodwork. A green fern placed in the corner of the adjacent kitchen draws your eye into that space and highlights the unique opening connecting the two rooms.

The Thanksgiving weekend is one of the deadliest holidays when it comes to car accidents
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - November 22, 2016) - Dryver, the nation's largest personal driver service, today announced a new initiative to promote safe driving over the Thanksgiving holiday, a time when the U.S. mortality rate spikes in large part due to traffic accidents.(i) Dryver is different than other ride-sharing services in the fact that drivers operate customer's vehicles as a chauffeur-type service.
Thanksgiving kicks off the start of the holiday season and marks an increase in drivers on the road visiting friends and family. This year, AAA predicts that a million more people will travel over the Thanksgiving weekend than did in 2015, and thanks to low gas prices, most of those travelers will journey via car.(ii)
As the number of people on the road goes up, so do crashes; the day before Thanksgiving, commonly known as "Blackout Wednesday," is a particularly bad time of year for DUIs and drunk-driving related car accidents.
"Whether people are consuming alcohol while enjoying their time out on the town, at home with family, or are driving late at night when they're drowsy, there's an increased risk of car crashes over Thanksgiving," says Arthur Simanovsky, Dryver CEO and President. "Dryver wants to do its part to make it easier for people to leave the driving to a professional, so they can enjoy their holiday and stay safe."
Dryver, a personal driving service where professional drivers take you wherever you need to go in the comfort of your own vehicle, serves as a convenient alternative to taxis or ride-sharing services. Fully-screened and fully-insured drivers with at least 10 years of driving experience arrive in professional attire to act as your chauffeur for however long you need one.
As part of the Thanksgiving campaign, Dryver is offering customers 10% off each of their next three rides when they use the code THANKSGIVINGRIDE before November 28th for reservations until December 29th. Customers can reserve drivers ahead of time for any part of the holiday weekend. Your driver will arrive at your home ready to drive you and any guests or family to as many stops as you want to make, wait until you're ready to leave, and then take you home again.
"Reserving a personal driver means you can relax and not worry about traffic, parking, directions, or whether you may be over the legal limit to drive, which does not take much alcohol whatsoever," says Simanovsky. "It's an affordable way to get the most out of the holiday."
Previously known as BeMyDD, a service specifically focused on providing designated drivers and promoting social responsibility, Dryver expanded its focus in 2016 to offer more driving services, including personal chauffeurs, non-medical transportation, and corporate driving services, including corporate outsourcing, staffing, and fleet management. Services include an hourly personal driver ($14-$19.50 an hour, depending on location), car pickup service ($25 pickup fee + mileage), and event services ($45-$53 per team, per hour). Drivers can be requested through dryver.com, by calling +1 (877) 823-6933, or by downloading the Dryver smartphone app on the Apple Store or Google Play.
About Dryver
Dryver, formerly known as BeMyDD, is the nation's largest personal driver service, currently operating in 77 cities across 32 states. This convenient, safe, reliable and affordable alternative transportation service provides a chauffeur at a discounted rate by driving the customer's automobile. Professional, experienced drivers are fully background-screened, interviewed and insured by Dryver and wear formal business attire. Services include designated drivers, personal drivers, non-emergency medical transportation, senior/elderly assistance, and corporate outsourcing and staffing. The company has national partnerships with leading liquor and wine companies to promote social responsibility, including Total Wine & More and Brown-Forman.

How teeth form in a single rowFebruary 27th, 2009 - 6:27 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Feb 27 (ANI): In a breakthrough discovery, scientists have found that a system of opposing genetic forces determines why mammals develop a single row of teeth, while sharks sport several.
The study suggests that carefully understanding the genetic program may prove helpful for scientists to re-grow missing teeth and prevent cleft palate, one of the most common birth defects.
Gene expression is the process by which information stored in genes is converted into proteins that make up the body''s structures, and carry its messages.
And gene expression determines the development of teeth and palate while the baby''s face takes shape in the womb. Related abnormalities lead to the development of teeth outside of the normal row, missing teeth and cleft palate, and the new insights suggest ways to combat these malformations.
In the new study, it was found that turning off a single gene in mice resulted in development of extra teeth, next to and inside of their first molars.
"This finding was exciting because extra teeth developed from tissue that normally does not give rise to teeth," said Dr. Rulang Jiang, associate professor of Biomedical Genetics in the Center for Oral Biology at the University of Rochester Medical Center.
He added: "It takes the concerted actions of hundreds of genes to build a tooth, so it was amazing to find that deleting one gene caused the activation of a complete tooth developmental program outside of the normal tooth row in those mice. Finding out how the extra teeth developed will reveal how nature makes a tooth from scratch, which will guide tooth regeneration research."
In the current study, Jiang and colleagues generated mice that lacked the oddskipped related-2 (Osr2) gene, which encodes one of many transcription factors that turn genes on or off.
"Knocking out" (deleting) the Osr2 gene resulted in cleft palate, a birth defect where the two halves of the roof of the mouth fail to join up properly, leaving a gap.
Secondly, and surprisingly, the Osr2 "knockout" mice developed teeth outside of the normal tooth row.
Jiang decided to focus his research first on the effect of Osr2 on teeth patterning (vs. cleft palate) because much more was known at the time about teeth development pathways.
Earlier studies have shown that bone morphogenic protein 4 (BMP4) is an important factor for the initiation of teeth, and that a protein called Msx1 amplifies the BMP4 tooth-generating signal.
The researchers suggested for the first time that some unknown factor was restricting the growth of teeth into one row by opposing the Bmp4 signal.
The current study provides the first solid proof that the precise space where mammals can develop teeth (the "tooth morphogenetic field") is shaped and restricted by the effect of Osr2 on the expression of the Bmp4 gene within the mesenchymal cell layer.
The researchers demonstrated that removing the Osr2 gene results in extra teeth outside of the normal row.
Osr2 restricts Bmp4 expression to the tooth mesenchyme under the dental lamina, and in Osr2′'s absence, Bmp4 gene expression expands into the jaw mesenchyme outside of the tooth row.
A second major finding of the study backs up another emerging theory which holds that careful regulation of competing pro- and anti-tooth initiation signals controls how mammalian teeth come one by one in sequence.
As each tooth develops, something must prevent it from forming too close to the next or mammals would have no gaps between their teeth. When this mechanism occasionally falters, adjacent teeth come in fused together.
Since evolution is not perfect, wisdom teeth (third molars) often come in too close to their predecessors, and must be pulled to make space.
The researchers claimed that BMP4 cooperates with other factors to create a temporary zone around each tooth where no other tooth can grow.
When the tooth gets closer to maturity, Msx1 overwhelms decreasing levels of inhibitory factors to start the BMP4-driven development of the next tooth.
Since the jaw is growing at the same time teeth are forming, it follows that each tooth must also receive signals that enough jaw has grown in for the next tooth to start forming atop it.
The study has been published in the journal Science. (ANI)

TRANMERE manager Ray Mathias said he was "happy at a good work-out" after last night's barely-deserved victory over Nationwide Conference side Northwich at Wincham Park.
The travelling fans would have been happy to see goalkeeper Russell Howarth (left) so well protected that he only had one shot to save.
But they would not have been so pleased by a limited attack which achieved relatively little and was gifted the only goal seconds before half time.
It came when the lively Gareth Roberts, later to go off with a recurrence of a thigh muscle problem, slung one of many accurate crosses into the Northwich box.
Goalkeeper Andy Woods fatally hesitated and Simon Haworth was on hand to bundle the ball in from close range.
With trialist Jonny Allen desperate to please against his old team-mates, Tranmere played some good, progressive football in the first half and Allen should have scored after 12 minutes when he tricked centre-back Mark Foran on the run, only to shoot across goal.
Allen put himself about and linked up well with the midfield, but manager Mathias may want to see more of the former Carlisle striker before he commits.
Skipper Graham Allen and Ian Sharps and it was not until the 75th minute that Howarth was called into serious action for the first and only time, making a magnificent save to prevent substitute Steve Garvey scoring after a quickly taken free kick.
Apart from their dependable central defenders, Rovers' star turns were left back Roberts, always dangerous on the overlap and Iain Hume, who looked back to something like his sharpest after returning from international duty with Canada. Alex Hay also gave Northwich problems down the left.
Rovers now take on Football League opposition in Preston and Crewe, when they will be expecting to recall injured players Ryan Taylor, Kevin Gray and Jamie Maguire, who had a loan spell at Northwich last season.
Apart from Roberts, Rovers' physio Les Parry has no new injuries to worry about.
Mathias said: "Overall, we were pleased. We knew it would be tough.
"We have to work on our attacking play and we need to be creating more chances.
"Gareth Roberts suffered a dead leg, but he will be fine. We took him off after an hour, but he was due a rest anyway having played every game so far."
NORTHWICH: A Woods (Walsh 85); Woodyatt, Brazier, Foran, R Woods; Norris, Owen, Charnock; Ward, Smith (Garvey), Eaton.
TRANMERE: Howarth; Connelly (Navarro 62), G Allen, Sharps, Roberts (Olsen 62); Hay, Hume, Loran, Jones; J Allen (Mellon), S Howarth.

Here Comes the Samsung Galaxy S4 Commercial
Samsung's official YouTube channel for the Netherlands has uploaded some commercials for the Samsung Galaxy S4. There are three videos uploaded, all around 33 seconds long.
One demos the "Sound Shot" feature, which is basically a short sound clip attached to a still photo. Another demos "Group Play", which allows several GS4 units to play the same song, thus making the song louder. And finally there's a video showing a woman using the S-Translater app in a cab and at the dining room table.
Check it out.
Android Central has also uploaded this 60 second commercial to their YouTube channel.

Mouth watering flavours and deliciousness are waiting for you at Mamasita. Up the stair way, get there early for a seat. For you corn lovers, start with some corn chips, salsa and guac ($9, above). I really like the corn chips so I order this every time I come here. The salsa is a thick paste as is avocado.
The corn cob ($4.9 for one, below) is very popular; titled "Elote Callejero" is char grilled corn with cheese, chipotle mayo and lime. It was a party in my mouth. full of flavours. I'd definitely recommend ordering the corn.
For another entree; I ordered the butterflied tiger prawns that were char grilled with a light salsa and topped with coriander. It was quite tasty but you are paying for two prawns at $13.
I also ordered a few tacos including the pig's cheek taco ($6) and the prawn taco ($7). Each are very flavoursome in their own ways but the pig's cheek was my favourite. The taco tortillas are very savoury and floury.
Prices: $40 per person plus drinks

Archdruid: Do you, Chris, wish consciously to be uncoupled from Gwynnie?
Chris: I do.
Archdruid: And do you, Gwynnie...
Gwynnie: Don't call me Gwynnie.
Archdruid: And do you, Gwyneth, wish consciously to be uncoupled from Chris?
Gwynnie: I do.
Archdruid: A marriage bond being set aside, especially in situations where there are children involved, is nearly always a sad situation. It speaks of hopes that have - maybe quietly over the years - died. Shared vision that is now faded. A flame that has burnt out. Whatever our views on marriage, we should all have sympathy, a sense of sadness, and a feeling that, because a family must come to terms with a loss - a kind of bereavement - we are all diminished. So why on earth did you put out such a pretentious press release? What did you think you were playing at? It just tells us your hippy-dippy, probiotic, macrocosmic ways are more important than other people wishing you well, maybe even more important than the fact you should be mourning a relationship's end. Nevertheless, we wish you well. For your kids' sake, and your own. Go forth, and uncouple consciously. Whatever that means.

(October 6, 2012)
His score didn't count toward the UBC men's golf team total, and it wouldn't have helped the TBirds finish any better than 2nd place anyway, but Conner Kozak of Vernon won his first individual collegiate championship this past Tuesday at the NAIA Fall Preview men's golf tournament in Salem, Oregon.
(Photo: Christopher Oertell)
Kozak, while playing as an individual in a field of 55, shot 3-under par (70 71--141) to top the field by three shots, the only player to break par.
"It feels great getting my first win as a T-Bird and the first collegiate win for myself and I am so pleased with the way I played this week," said Kozak, a UBC sophomore. "I can't really say I saw this coming but I've been putting in a lot of hard work and I've been seeing some good results. This whole last week I was telling myself that I need to step up my game and to get a win this week means I accomplished that."
The University of British Columbia team placed second in the 10-team field at (292-306) 22-over 598, 19 strokes behind the winning school, Texas Wesleyan (291-288).
The University of Victoria Vikes finished in fourth place (308-315--623) on the team leaderboard, 27 strokes back of Texas.
"We are really happy for Conner," said UBC head coach Chris MacDonald. "He's been putting in extra practice time at the Shaughnessy range and was rewarded. Conner has power off the tee and he controls his iron distances well; this week he played a disciplined game and took advantage of the par five's."
Kozak's performance came as a bit of a surprise to the 19-year-old since he didn't play any tournament golf all summer, instead spending his time in a classroom at UBC Okanagan with human kinetics courses.
"The last couple of weeks were a struggle," he told Kevin Mitchell, Sports Editor of the Vernon Morning Star.com. "But I put in some time in practice on the range, slowly figured things out and made things feel normal again."
"It was pretty steady," added Kozak of his performance in Salem, Ore. "I made some putts; that was the main thing, and I kept it in play. I didn't make any real long putts. They were more mid-range. I was hitting it close to the pins and giving myself that chance."
Three other T-Birds, Scott Malo (Calgary, AB), Conrado Paderes (Vancouver, BC) and Josh Zhang (Vancouver, BC), were all part of a group of golfers who tied for eighth place at 6-over, 150. First round leader Kieran Standen (Edmonton, AB) was another shot back tied for 12th place while Scott Secord (Calgary, AB) finished in 25th place at 158.
UBC has finished the fall portion of its schedule and will resume tournament play in the spring.
Sam Holland (New Minas, NS) paced UVic (75-75--150) and tied for 8th overall. The Vikes now head for San Diego where they will play the California State University San Marcos Invite at Twin Oaks golf course in San Marcos, Oct. 14 - 16.

Dental care and the field of dentistry have evolved a lot in the last 3 decades, thanks to research and technology. Awareness among people has also increased – most patients are making use of all the latest products and information given to them by their dentists to keep their teeth clean. This in turn, leads to overall good health. The first line of defense is to practice good hygiene at home – any serious problems can be addressed at the dentist's office.
Some of the newer technologies have enabled dentists to help people with issues such as crooked teeth, bridges, crowns, implants etc. Dental care should be addressed right from the time a child is a year old. Good dental help will help people retain all their original teeth for as long as possible. Some of the procedures are no doubt expensive – dental insurance will cover quite a large chunk of the costs as well.

Auto Shazam to record everything around you
If you weren't being watched enough by everything ever, Shazam is now going to listen to you all the time with an update that brings the 'Auto Shazam' feature to the fore, which will stick an ear in your day and make playlists of all the songs that surround you.
Of course, you'll have to check in so it isn't exactly invasive. It could be a great tool if you go to a club or a pub that has a killer jukebox. It'll operate independently so you won't have to keep logging-in and it will run in the background so you can use your phone.
It might be a bit of a drain on data packages and your battery, although the app itself will switch off after two hours.
"The one thing we have with us all day, every day, is our phone. With today's Shazam update for iPhone, our users can now capture all the media playing around them in the car, at a café, in a cinema, or while watching TV, even when their phone is locked or they're using it to do something else," Daniel Danker, Shazam's chief product officer, said in a press release. "This update is another leap forward in achieving our vision to help people effortlessly recognize and engage with the world around them."
The app will notify you of new songs and saves it to playlists grouped by date so you can pinpoint where you heard that song you liked. Might be one to switch off if you're doing last minute Christmas shopping as it'll end up being 40 versions of Now That's What I Call Christmas.
It won't save or sending any personal data, adding that "only digital fingerprint summaries of the audio are sent to Shazam's servers to identify media content in Shazam's databases."

Drivers faced lengthy queues on the M6 in Birmingham as Thursday's rush hour saw two accidents within a few miles of each other.
Two lanes of the northbound carriageway were shut for around an hour-and-a-half between junctions five (Castle Bromwich) and six (Spaghetti Junction) after a car and van collided.
RECAP: Look back on our live updates on the M6
Emergency crews were called to the scene at around 4.20pm, where the car had reportedly spun around in the third lane of the carriageway.
An ambulance and a Paramedic Area Support Officer attended the incident. West Midlands Ambulance Service said one person was taken to City Hospital as a "precautionary measure".
The vehicles involved were cleared from the main carriageway by around 5.30pm before the road was fully reopened shortly after 6pm.
Queues had built up back to around junction four for the M42, where there had already been a separate accident just 15 minutes earlier.
Crews found a car carrying a woman and three children had crashed into the central reservation at around 4pm.
An ambulance and a senior paramedic officer were sent to the scene. The woman was taken to Heartlands Hospital as a precaution.
The two incidents led to lengthy delays of more than 40 minutes on the northbound carriageway from junctions four to six.

In this episode we welcome Maureen Hoff to discuss a recent sensation in the music industry: Meghan Trainor. We chose to examine some of the lyrics in two of her most popular songs, entitled "All About That Bass" and "Dear Future Husband". Both songs, satirical in their own way, deal with issues of ideas of femininity and masculinity, body image, beauty standards and marriage. We examine some of the issues with her approach and inadvertent issues with her delivery and lyrical choices.
Talk to us on Twitter, Facebook and leave us a review on iTunes! We would love to hear your thoughts!

I will argue that foreign aid should not be increased, on the grounds that countries such as the US have enough internal problems with poverty as it is, and as such their governments have a duty to help their own citizens before they help others around the world.
Firstly, just because countries like the USA are extremely wealthy does not mean that the wealth within that country comes to everyone in that country. I'm sure you have heard of the "1%" in the USA, referring to the fact that the richest 1% of Americans are richer than the other 99% combined. Now the Bible says "take the log out of your own eye before you take the speck out of your brother's eye": I'm not religious at all, but the point here is that MEDCs should take care of their own poverty and hunger before they go abroad to help others, because that is the duty of a government (to provide for the protection of the individual rights of its citizens). I do not believe the USA should be sending money abroad in the form of foreign aid when, according to 2012 census results, 46 million Americans (c.15% of the country) live in poverty (that is to say, below $11,670/annum for one person, and an extra $4,060/annum for every extra household resident). I do not believe a country such as the USA should be sending money abroad when, as of 2013, over 50% of public school children should be living in poverty. Meanwhile the US government sends abroad $37.68bn every year to help those in the third world, when 15% of their own citizens struggle to feed themselves and their families. A government's primary concern should be to look after its own people, and only once it has done that should it look abroad to help others.
Secondly, a lot of countries which receive foreign aid do not see that money go towards feeding their people, and in fact there is evidence to suggest that the "[foreign] aid culture" in African countries has led these countries to see unprecedented rises in inflation, making the poor even poorer, and increasing the chance of civil conflict significantly. We can also see examples of aid being allegedly taken (obviously they'll never confess to it) by the governments of dictatorial regimes to fund their own personal war chests while the people for whom the aid was intended never see a penny of it.
The ultimate truth is that despite the fact that wealthy countries have sent over $1tn to Africa alone over the past 60 years, African levels of poverty are higher in 2015 than they were in the 1970s. Over half the population of Africa (350m people to be exact) live on less than a dollar a day. Therefore, for one reason or another, we can see that foreign aid, although an incredibly well-intended and positive sentiment, does not have a positive effect on the third world - in fact, it has quite the opposite effect.
Therefore, shouldn't the governments of the US, UK and other wealthy countries in the world spend more on helping their own citizens living in poverty and hunger, instead of throwing that money into a giant bonfire of corruption and good intentions. After all, T.S. Eliot once said "most of the evil in this world is done by people with good intentions".
There is of course a lot that has to be done within America but I would argue that one can do both. Many of the countries that give the most in foreign aid {as a percentage} are also ones that provide a very high standard of living and low poverty to their own people. They have managed to do both. It also needs to be noted the USA gives less than 1% of its budget to foreign aid. This still leaves trillions of dollars to help Americans.
No doubt foreign aid has not always gone to where it is needed the most and some of it has been stolen. This does not mean that none of it has made it or worked and there should be no increase in foreign aid. There are examples of the good foreign aid can do. There are also mechanisms in place to reduce money being stolen. It can go to not for profits instead of national governments for example. Many countries that have received foreign aid have not been held down because of it. Brazil and Singapore are just some of the countries that have done well economically even though they received a lot of aid.
Africa has not done as badly as is often portrayed. "Income per person in Africa has climbed by two-thirds since 1998"from just over $1,300 then to nearly $2,200 today. Seven of the 10 fastest-growing economies of the past half-decade are in Africa" The more than 1 trillion dollars over decades is not that much when one considers that per year that works out to be only about 20 billion a year and that is shared amongst more than 40 countries in Africa. Working out at around 500 million a year per country and that is only if it was equally allocated which it was not.
To counter your point about the average wage in Africa going up: this is not because your average African has become richer. Your figures are in fact misleading, because what has actually happened is the poorest half of Africans have become poorer, but the richest Africans have become richer at a higher rate than the other Africans getting poorer. This means that it would appear on paper that people in Africa are all earning more, when in fact this is not the case. How else would African poverty levels be higher now than they used to be? The inflation which large injections of capital to poor countries cause can be fatal for a country, and especially the poorest people in that country, who can no longer even afford a loaf of bread. And while African economies are rapidly growing, at the moment this isn't helping that 50% of the population living on under $1/day, but is instead making a few people very rich. And you say $500m isn't a lot, but for a country like Ghana, one of the richest countries in Africa, that will equate to just over 10% of the current GDP, which is far higher than it used to be. That much money just turning up in Ghana could lead to major inflation, but this is only Ghana, with a GDP far above most other African countries ($48bn/capita).
To conclude, I agree with you that foreign aid can and does work in certain cases, but before we start spending more on helping nations abroad, we should make the current money we send go further, and rethink the way in which we give foreign aid.
Foreign aid does not have to cause inflation. It depends on how the money is spent. I would say we already know enough about how to make aid work better given that we have been giving it out for decades and there have been many recommendations on how to improve it. I would also say that we can't delay increasing it because it has been underfunded and frequently cut by governments for decades and so we got a lot of catch-up to do so we can better address issues like poverty and health.
Here is an article which highlights how damaging foreign aid can really be when not spent right: http://www.wsj.com.... This article states that over 50% of Africans live in poverty, however this article received widespread criticism for actually understating the levels of poverty in Africa. One critic from VOX said that the figure was actually closer to 70%. Shovelling more money onto the fire doesn't help anything except appeasing people who think we should be sending aid abroad. Instead we should make sure the current money we are sending off goes to better causes, and is used to directly fund projects as opposed to giving cheques to governments and letting them spend it how they wish.
The answer is not to just throw more money at the problem, it's a more complex issue than that. A government's responsibility is not to help people abroad, but instead to help people at home and listen to their wishes. In a Politico poll in 2013, 40% of Americans, when given 19 options, wanted to actually reduce the amount of foreign aid sent abroad, because they do not feel it is actually spent right. If we actually want to make a difference with our foreign aid, we need to seriously review how that money is spent, where it goes, and what effects it really has before we choose to just spend more.
