With so many fabulous recipes on this site sitting there out in the open, like free Hope diamonds waiting to be snapped up, I sometimes think my most added-value role here is to ferret out the hidden gems -- the ones you may have avoided because you didn't quite understand them, or felt intimidated by the vessel they called for -- and to assure you that it will all be okay.
So on that note, let's talk about Butter Chicken. I stumbled upon this bad boy because I was in search, yet again, for something fresh to do with chicken. For the home cook, poultry really is like your family –- you can't escape it, really, but you can make the best of it, and pair it with alcohol.
So, let's deal with the possible impediments to enjoying butter chicken, which is, my friends, a deeply delicious dish. According to what I have read, butter chicken is a well known dish in India, also known as Murg Makhani. Most of the recipes I have read online subsequently call for yogurt, while this version is just a rub.
This is a dish that pauljoseph, our prolific recipe contributor from Kerala, India, wants you to make in a clay pot. I have no doubt that this is the proper method for making this dish, and it reminds me that I need to buy one. However, I made it in a cast iron pan with good results.
Let's take the recipe itself step-by-step here, with my interpretations, beginning with ingredients. This is basically Indian Shake 'n Bake. It's good.
Our recipe writer asks you to buy a pound of chicken pieces. I suggest you use a few legs with their thighs, and a drumstick if you come up short. He says you need a cup of tomatoes, but later you will see as you get cooking, they are actually sliced. Just buy the biggest, nicest tomato you can afford. If that is in a grocery store, and they have put your $4-a-pound heirloom in the cold section, take an extra minute to fume in vain to the produce manager, who will no doubt shrug and go back to his onions. Your kids, if they are with you, might say something at this point like, "Why do you always do stuff like that?" Ignore them. They will understand the price for mealy fruits in their own due time.
You mash your ginger, garlic, and chili powder together, preferably with mortar and pestle, and from here on it is referred to as "ground masala." There is no heat specified here: do your butter and tomatoes over a medium flame, then add your chicken, sprinkle the sugar, and turn it the heck down to low and cover it. Turn your chicken after about 15 minutes. Cook until tender means about 35 minutes give or take. He doesn't say to, but take the chicken out and platter it, then add the cream to your sauce.
Yes, you do want the cilantro.
Butter Chicken
By pauljoseph
Serves 4
1. In a mortar and pestle, grind together the ginger, garlic and chili powder -- this is called masala. Marinate the chicken with ground masala, garam masala, lime juice and salt and set aside for 1 hour.
2. In a clay pot, heat the butter, fry the sliced tomatoes for few minutes, and then add the marinated chicken and sugar. Cover and cook till tender.
3. Add the cream and serve hot. If you like cilantro, garnish with fresh leaves.

After downloading 3D Half-SBS content from different sources online I have discovered that much of it is not in a playable format for my LG 50PX950 3D TV. My 3D TV will play .mkv files from a USB drive but the format needs to be specifically 1080p video with AC3 audio. This will also be the case for many other 3D TV owners out there. A lot of uploaded 3D content seems to have DTS audio and various video resolutions, which requires decoding to a playable format. So I thought I would upload my decoded content to save other users the headache, hassle and time. I have also decided to maintain a max movie/file size of 4GB to accommodate the use of a FAT32 formatted USB drive.

I've been playing a lot of Threes lately — to the point where every time I close my eyes I just see numbers sliding together — and all I can think is that it'd make for the perfect JRPG mini-game.
Can't you picture it? You're roaming around the map, saving the world or whatever, when suddenly this sketchy dude in a wizard's robe comes up and challenges you to a game of sliding number tiles. If you hit 1000 points, you get an elixir. 10,000 points for special armour. 20,000 points to unlock your character's best ability. It'd be the greatest RPG mini-game since Triple Triad. Really, all video games should come with a copy of Threes. Sure beats racing chocobos. (If you haven't played Threes yet, be warned that it will take over your spare time, because it is addictive and polished and perfect in every way.)
Now, on to the questions:
After seeing GTA V bring in umpteen-bajillion dollars in its first 3 days, I got to wondering. What would it take for an RPG to open to those kind of numbers? I can't think of any recently released RPG to hit anywhere even close to that. I don't think Mass Effect 3 has made that much money to date (total), and certainly not within its first three days (before everyone found out about the shit ending). Not even Skyrim did that well (again, compared to GTA V). Is there a game release I'm forgetting? Or is it even possible for an RPG, even an extremely hyped one, to pull in that kind of opening weekend cash? — Scott C
Drugs? Hookers? The thing about massive popularity is that it's almost impossible to emulate. Gaming trends always come in cycles. Back in the early 2000s, after Grand Theft Auto III became a smash hit and every game publisher in the world rushed to release their own gritty open-world game, the video game industry learned that not every open-world game will make money. Then came the failed rush to clone World of Warcraft, the ugly Facebook trend started by FarmVille, and now today's big fad is free-to-play, which will inevitably be replaced by whatever next Big Thing comes along soon.
Point is, nobody really knows how to make something big. Nintendo, a multi-billion-dollar corporation staffed by some of the smartest people on the planet, couldn't figure out how to replicate the Wii's success. Even Call of Duty, one of the biggest franchises in video game history, is on the downswing. People knew that GTA V would do well, but I suspect even Rockstar didn't expect it to make $US1 billion in three days. To paraphrase Socrates: Nobody knows shit.
So let me answer your question... to find GTA-level success, an RPG would either have to A) somehow catch lightning in a bottle, like Minecraft or Flappy Bird, appealing beyond the hardcore gamer crowd and morphing into a pop culture sensation; or B) allow you to steal cars and murder prostitutes. Nobody knows how to pull off A, so maybe some RPG developer should try for B. Really, though, wouldn't you want to see a gritty, dark open-world RPG that crosses turn-based combat with a city like Los Santos? GTA: Midgar. Let's make it happen.
Hey Jason,
First I'd like to say I'm a big fan of your column. I like that in this age, when 99% of the western gaming press likes to bash JRPGs, there is a writer who stands up and says, "hey, arseholes! I like those games!" My question was about this picture I see on the web quite often. Someone took a photo of Skyrim, photoshopped it so the dragon looked like Charizard, and the hero looked like a Pokémon trainer. On the picture is a caption which reads, "I hope to one day play Pokémon with graphics like Skyrim." Whenever I see that photo, I'm just baffled. Why would we want our Pokémon to become these weird photorealistic creatures? Pokémon should be colourful and cartoony! What do you think about this whole idea? Do you think there would be any benefit to a hyper-realistic Pokégame? Or, do you like the artistic direction they're going about now? — Kevin S.
We could never have a realistic Pokémon game for two reasons:
1) Nintendo would never risk tarnishing a kid-friendly IP by exposing it to the cruelty of reality.
2) Pokémon's cartoony graphics mask the harsh truth that the world of Pokémon is really fucked up. If Pokémon were more realistic, we'd have to stop closing our eyes to the fact that this is a world where animal trainers spend their time standing around on roads and waiting to have cockfights with other animal trainers. We'd have to accept the fact that humans regularly force Pokémon to harm one another out of some twisted hunger for competition. Remember, everyone in Pokémon is so mentally deficient that even the professor — a professor! — has to ask what gender you are. He can't tell. Nothing in the world of Pokémon makes sense. Nobody talks about anything but Pokémon. This only works because the graphics are cute.
Do you think some JRPGs would be better off getting rid of grinding and levelling-up all together? Personally, I don't think experience and grinding are prerequisites for being a JRPG, and I think the story, exploration, and combat systems are what matter. Imagine a classic JRPG like Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy, but with the levelling stripped out and the game rebalanced for fixed stats, where experiencing those games hinged on how you used your skills and items. — Adam
A few games have played around with this idea. Chrono Cross, for example, built character progression around predetermined points and boss battles. Most recently, Paper Mario: Sticker Star scrapped experience and levels in favour of one-time-use sticker attacks, and as you progressed, you'd get more and more attack items of varying power. Battles themselves gave you money and stickers.
Problem with systems like this is that they make battles wind up feeling inconsequential. What's the point in fighting fodder enemies if you're not even going to get any levels out of it? By the second half of Sticker Star, I found myself fleeing and dodging battles at every opportunity, running Mario around the map as if he were Luigi. The battles themselves weren't very fun, because they felt like they meant nothing. I felt like I was wasting my time.
JRPGs are built around the concept of a character or party of characters starting off weak and working their way up the food chain. Levels are a good way to measure and convey that, and experience is a good way to incentivise battles. These things are tradition for a reason.
Hey Jason, love your column on on Kotaku. Is there any opportunity for you to talk about Conception II for the 3DS and Vita due out in April 2014? From what I understand it is implied that the gameplay is all about making offspring to help traverse dungeons with your female companion? Is the game actually as risque as it sounds? What kinds of road blocks or opportunities do you think companies like Atlus, and Xseed have when it comes to niche titles such as these? Why do you think such a title is getting localised? It must have some unique game play elements considering the premise. What can we gamers do to make our voices heard about making more games such as these hit American shores? Thanks for your time and effort furthering JRPGs and the opinions of those who love them! — Skip Z
Apparently Conception II is a video game where your male main character gets women pregnant and recruits their babies as party members, which is just... I don't even know. I'll have to come back to this one.
The biggest roadblock, I think, is that video game localisation is expensive, and the JRPG genre is niche enough as it is without getting into crazy otaku territory. Companies like Atlus and Xseed don't make a ton of money, and games like Conception II sure as hell aren't gonna show up on the front rack at Walmart, so their chances of breakaway success are pretty damn low. Let's talk more about this in a future column.
A lot of indy developers who grew up with SNES RPGs are making 16 bit style RPGs for PCs as a general hobby. Have you tried any of them? Any idea how to weed out the good and the bad? Is the nostalgia that people have for the FFs of their youth hurting the ability of new JRPGs to reach an American audience? — Nikolas Z
The biggest problem in gaming today is that there are too many video games. Well, one of the biggest problems. OK, let's just say it's a problem. Indie JRPGs are no exception — for every basement designer in his or her 20s there are five 16-bit role-playing games that promise to be "love letters to the classic games of old."
A few years ago I put together a list of some of my favourite indie RPGs, and that's still a good reference point today. Here's another solid list, although I haven't played all of those.
I think the best way to determine whether an indie RPG is worth your time is to look at screenshots or a trailer and examine the dialogue. Ask yourself: Could I see myself spending the next 5-10 hours reading this kind of writing? There's your answer.
I'm not sure how familiar you are with Johnathon Blow and Braid or not, but it's not super important that you are. My question is phrased in terms of something he has said repeatedly that sort of struck me. He calls out Japanese games (and JRPGs are likely a big part of what he's targeting) for not 'respecting' its audience. He suggests that the hand-holding gameplay and the "THIS IS THE STORY, THESE ARE THE MECHANICS" style of presentation essentially implies that the audience is stupid and not capable of making the cognitive leap involved in determining what the story is really saying and what the mechanics are really offering and how the two interact. These things, combined with lengthy gameplay often spent at least partially on menial tasks (oversimplified fetch quests or grinding), sort of make the experience much less uhhh.. cerebral than it could be.
As someone who has spent the majority of his life focusing on JRPGs as the most valid and immersive experience video games can offer, I have certain opinions and counter-arguments pertaining to these points. That being said, he also does make a good point in some ways. For example, my best argument for grinding is that, if done correctly, it can be a character and agency developing experience. The longer I spend with given spiky-haired guy, the more I identify with him, even if that time is spent bonking cactuars on the head. Arguably, as well, I get to know the characters better. But that argument is by no means perfect, because one could just suggest that same development could be offered in more meaningful ways. So my question for you: how do you respond these criticisms (and similar ones)? Do you think they are valid or are attacking JRPGs by presuming that they offer what other games are meant to offer (and the criticisms are just missing the mark altogether)? - Josh Q.
Whew. This was the JRPG of JRPG mailbag questions. And yeah, Japanese games certainly like to hold your hand — there's a particularly interesting tendency in JRPGs and visual novels to show you the same scenes and triggers over and over again, and to ask whether you're absolutely sure you want to do something every time you tell the game that yes, you do want to do it!
Josh makes a good point about grinding helping us bond with our characters. I would love to see games that help facilitate these sort of relationships even more, by making characters react to your gameplay decisions — like, say, a spiky-haired hero who comments on your grinding abilities, or cut-scenes that only trigger when you've fought too many random battles in a row without moving on to the next quest.
I don't think fetch quests and level-grinding are always an example of video games wasting your time, though. There's a certain satisfaction to be had in watching your characters' numbers go up and knowing that you were responsible for making them more powerful, and plenty of RPGs use fetch quests as an opportunity to teach you their mechanics, or set up their worlds, or establish plot points that will be important later on. I'd also argue that JRPGs have already found ways to combat the dissonance between gameplay and story — the dreaded "you can't win!" boss battle is one technique that JRPGs use to show you just how much you've progressed over the course of a game. You might not be able to take down Gades right now, but just you wait...
Besides, there are more heinous examples of games wasting our time. Worse than grinding is when a JRPG makes you backtrack through areas you've already visited, or when Bravely Default makes you fight the same damn boss battles five times each.
But — and this is the big "but" — none of these problems are exclusive to JRPGs. That's where I'd disagree with your premise, here. Plenty of games don't feel like they're "respecting" their audience. When I have to revisit the same dull locations in Dragon Age II or re-read the same "You just got 20 rupees!" message every time I open a chest in Zelda, I feel just as disrespected as I do when a JRPG decides it's time to make me re-fight boss battles. All video games need to get better at respecting our time.

st: Inserting Windows Version and IP address into a log file from wit hin Stata
Wed, 4 Jul 2007 11:53:00 +0100
I'm trying to write a .do file that "validates" the version of Stata on my
computer. Basically I'm using the do files that Stata provides which
assesses it's accuracy on NIST datasets for which certified results are
available (http://www.stata.com/support/cert/nist/
<http://www.stata.com/support/cert/nist/> ). I have a master do file which
first opens a log file before calling these do files in sequence.
I would also like this master do file to have commands that insert into the
same log file, the current date, current Stata version, current Windows
operating system used, and unique computer ID (I think I can use the IP
address for this). With these commands I can prove the tests apply to my
current complete settings. I do not know any commands in Stata that show the
current Windows operating system or the unique computer ID such that the
results can be easily saved in a log file. Can anyone please help?
I know I can use the SHELL command to access DOS commands that display this
information - ver and ipconfig, but I can't figure out how to incorporate
the results into the log file.
Many thanks,

Three of every 10 children in the U.S. rely for their health needs on Medicaid, the single largest health insurer of children. Access to Medicaid not only ensures that 30 million children receive adequate medical care and preventive services, but also benefits society.
Because of Medicaid, low-income families are protected from burdensome medical expenses. Children with Medicaid are more likely to receive timely and appropriate medical care than uninsured children, saving the entire health care system money.
Although children represent half of all Medicaid enrollees, they account for only 25 percent of Medicaid spending. Without Medicaid, most if not all of these children would have no health insurance.
Over the past decade the rates of uninsured children has dropped substantially because of prior Medicaid expansion through the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). Between 1997 and 2005, the number of uninsured children fell by more than one-third, from 23 percent to 14 percent, and currently 437,000 Maryland children are enrolled in Medicaid.
However, despite these benefits to children and their families, and the relative low cost compared to adult expenditures, Medicaid is under attack. Many congressmen and state governors are calling to scale back the Medicaid expansion in the Affordable Care Act, and Paul Ryan's budget proposal would cut Medicaid funding by 34 percent by 2022.
The Urban Institute estimates that states could have to drop between 14 million and 27 million people from Medicaid by 2021. In addition to losing insurance, children will also lose access to their pediatrician if the cuts go through.
Current Medicaid payments are set to rise to equal Medicare compensation by year's end. Without this increase, many physicians will no longer accept Medicaid patients and access will be further reduced.
While reducing the federal deficit is important, it should not be at the expense of children not having access to the health care they need.

Kora's Insider-y Tour of New York's Chinatown
When the rad gal behind Kora's earthy-sleek bangles and hammered brass cuffs raved about a candy shop below Canal Street that she calls her "happy place," we were desperate to know more about her downtown hangs. Ends up Maxandra Short's love affair with Chinatown goes all the way back to her childhood—she spent her formative years growing up in Southeast Asia. From tea wonderlands to kung-foo shoes joints (seriously), here's her tour of the neighborhood's coolest—and possibly weirdest—spots.
Aji Ichiban: "I am a candy freak. So is my brother—we can both chart the course of our childhoods through candy. Middle school for me was all about these Japanese gummies that I'd get in Jakarta, and I was also obsessed with Polo mints. Whenever I see them, I am brought right back there. Whenever I go to Aji Ichiban, I'm literally giddy with the thought of so much sugar. I always stop here after dim sum and stock up on strawberry sour belts—which they sell by the pound—crystallized ginger, and Pockys."
Sunshine 27: "Dim sum is a pretty constant Sunday family ritual—and has been since we lived in London, ironically enough. There are a few in our rotation. This is the best and most authentic, food and atmosphere-wise. It also gets insanely packed, so you have to get there early, or wait an hour. It's not for the faint of heart—the dim sum carts whip around the room at a frenetic pace, so sometimes you have to throw yourself in front of them—but it's well worth it."
Nom Wah Tea Parlor: "They serve dim sum all day, which is good if you've gotten a late start. It has a lovely vintage vibe to it and is much calmer than Sunshine 27."
88 Optical: "This has been my go-to eye place for years now. I either get my glasses here or have them fit lenses to vintage pairs I bring in, and they do an incredible job."
Nyonya: "Nyonya is the best Malaysian restaurant in the city. I also love people-watching from one of the window tables. Get the Hainan chicken rice and the roticanai, a warm puffy pancake that you dip into this amazing curry."
Ten Ren Tea Time: "My place for bubble tea. And two doors down, Ten Ren Tea and Ginseng Co. has every kind of tea imaginable. I'm particularly fond of their loose-leaf jasmine tea."
Grand Sichuan (Canal Street): "To my utter horror, I discovered recently that Grand Sichuan is currently closed—but only temporarily, thank god, while they build a hotel above it or something. This chain is, hands down, the best Sichuan food in Manhattan, and the Canal Street location is the best of all the many Grand Sichauns. People will want to fight me on this, but I'm sticking to my guns. I love to come here with massive groups of friends and share a hot pot, insanely spicy Sichuan dishes, and a lot of Tsingtao."
Bok Lei Po Trading: "This is a martial-arts supply store on Mott Street. I go here for Feiyue sneakers—apparently a favorite of Shaolin monks & kung-fu masters—and black slip-on slippers, but if you're in the market for ninja stars or swords, this is the place for you, too."

National Archives translates the Magna Carta into English for the 21st century
WASHINGTON — To most Americans, England's "Magna Carta," or "Great Charter," is a dead-tree document from the 13th century. Written in medieval Latin and dealing with arguments between long-dead kings and their nobles, the document is impenetrable.
On Friday, the National Archives in Washington, D.C., brought it into the 21st century with a new interactive exhibit.
Why should Americans care about this charter?
Read up on the founding fathers and the American Revolution.
"If you read the early writings of Hamilton, Jefferson and Adams, and Madison, many times they say, it's because of the Magna Carta that we're doing this (rebelling against England)," says David M. Rubenstein, who loaned the document to the National Archives. He is the co-founder and managing director of the Carlyle Group.
The Magna Carta was born out of dispute. In 1215, the English nobility at odds with King John (known to many as the Prince John of the Robin Hood legends) had him sign the Magna Carta, which limited the powers of the monarchy. The document included "the right to habeas corpus, that punishment was proportionate to the crime involved, (and) no taxation without representation," says Rubinstein. On display is the charter of 1297 signed by Edward I, John's grandson, which is viewed as a foundation for English law.
The new display case is found in the west Rotunda gallery of the National Archives. The Magna Carta is flanked by two interactive computer terminals where, by touching a screen, visitors can read the document in English, discover how it applies to American legal history, and see who has cited the importance of the document.
Rubenstein first visited Washington on a class trip in 8th grade and is passionate about American history. He recently donated $7.5 million to the repair of the Washington Monument after earthquake damage. He bought the document at a Sotheby's auction from millionaire Ross Perot. The original owners had possessed it for 500 years but had to sell it to pay taxes.
"In recent years I've bought some other documents that are early American historical documents that are important in American history, but many of these documents, to me, are based in Magna Carta principles," says Rubinstein.

Black Baptist Group Promotes Health
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Only a few years ago, HIV-AIDS would not have been discussed at the annual congress of the nation's largest black religious organization. But black Americans' disproportionate struggle with AIDS has placed it on the agenda. The topic is among those being addressed during this week's congress of the 7.5 million-member National Baptist Convention USA. More than 4,500 delegates are in St. Louis for the meeting. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says while blacks account for 13 percent of the US population, they account for 49 percent of Americans who are infected with HIV. Black children also are disproportionately affected.

Obama Takes a Page From Reagan's Trade Book
When President Obama does something that hasn't been done since Reagan, it's worth a closer look. David Wessel joins the News Hub with a closer look at the International Trade Commission. Photo: AP.

... the ... when present Obama does something ... has been done since the Reagan era ... it's worth a closer look that's what Wall Street John all stated Wessel says and he joins us now to explain himself but that it was full of ... thank you may not ... so what is the reason Obama done but how the Manassas the Reagan era ... earlier this month President Obama acting through the U S Trade Representative ... overturned a decision by the International Trade Commission ... an obscure agency that most Americans never heard of ... in a dispute between Apple and Samsung over patents over ... I Phones and eye pads and stuff like that ... and it was an important moment because it's sitting on a light on this ... little agency which has been around since nineteen sixteen ... has become the referee in the ad wars in the smartphone this is ... that no one wants the rounds was this of of of the times up because ... the BP plant was intellectual property is something that ... people in the U S of very worried about they've paid to the value ... comments led to profits a year in China but sweat is valued so you you think that things would be overtime what was the ground staff ... well in this case of course that the patterns belonged to a Korean company Samsung ... and Apple which of course doesn't make anything United States was accused of ... violating them ... and what the the law which created this provision in that ... that the ITC enforces ... tax a part of the Smoot Hawley lost nineteen thirty ... aam says that you have to take into consideration the public entrance and in this case the president said the public interest was in service ... by blocking the importation of certain ... Apple products ... because Samsung had already agreed to license the stands as many high tech companies is done in order to make it possible for one brand is so fun to talk to another ... but I think what's really important here is there's a tension between protecting intellectual property ... in using the laws to create unnecessary burdens on high tech companies and others ... by you know wielding happens like they were some kind of ... competitive weapon ... and the administration is trying to get the right now it's time to know what one other things there is that you do that and also the cause of the family chapel about ... aam cruised at some old whose patents of the ... debt and debt of its own right aam because from the U S oversee has the look of the domestic industry but there is also a Laurie from foreigners that maybe the tennis slide with a domestic ... companies ... prices are there weren't no was talking about overturning past year ... what happens is you have a device there may be a hundred patents involved in it ... if somebody can say that wanted one little PC or device violates their patent ... the International Trade Commission has the authority to say you can't be imported at all ... so I'm there's a question of how to get this balance Rai ... protecting intellectual property of American companies and foreign companies by not letting them pass the use is basically an unfair competitive weapon ... and depending on whether you're the winner or loser in these cases that's all you make a lot ... and am now and that is all this the um did I get a few blues EU not to be very happy that so it's um things things when ... when Stalin get it you can always go to court to get the images right so it's not like you can get paid ... it just continues the ITC the administration says in this case ... to block imports nine youth and this is a good idea and in general the last one other things you and B of the funnel money but something of a good idea ... to clinically you'd like this ... I think it's important to keep the public interest in mind that's with the statute says that sometimes the interests of the individual pack holder our company that comes to the ITC ... doubt are not the same as the public interest and that's it that's what the law says that sounds like a pretty good standard in fact over the years the International Trade Commission has talked about moving that up on its hierarchy of ... things that they can affect and ...

Seemed Like an Active Fund: Moved Quickly to a 'soft No'
Fund: Amidzad
Posted by anonymous on 2009-09-29
One of the founders of Amidzad is Saeed Amidi. He is also the founder of PlugandPlayTechCenter in Sunnyvale, a shared office space for startups.
Saeed claims to be an active investor.
He was very soft-spoken and rather pleasant to deal with. He also claimed that he moves fast when he likes something and brings in other investors. Seems to be well-connected.
In our case, it didn't work out - it ended pretty quickly in a "soft" no.PRIVATE: Members Only (1283 Characters)

Historical Context
Table ofContents
The two most important periods of Barton's life were the Civil War and the 22 years she spent as president of the American Red Cross. She was very proud of her own wartime service as well as that of other women who made similar sacrifices during this period. Her total dedication to the American Red Cross gave it a secure foundation for a service which continues today. To commemorate her extraordinary dedication to service, Congress established the Clara Barton National Historic Site in 1974. It was the first unit in the National Park Service dedicated to honoring achievements by a woman.
Activity 1: Dealing with Disasters
Have the students research newspaper accounts of recent natural disasters. Examples include Hurricanes Hugo (1989), Andrew (1992), and Iniki (1992); the San Francisco earthquake (1989); and the Northridge earthquake (1994). How did the Red Cross respond to these disasters? What services did the Red Cross provide for the victims? Invite a representative of the local Red Cross chapter to speak to the class, focusing on how the organization deals with disasters both nationally and locally and what other services it provides to the community. Have the students compare the methods used by the early Red Cross under Barton's direction and the methods used by the modern organization. How have the methods of transportation and medical care changed over the past 100 years? (Students may need to refer to some of the sources listed in Activity 3.)
Activity 2: Women's and Men's Work
Ask each member of the class to name an occupation they would be interested in pursuing. Make a chart comparing those listed by males with those listed by females. Are the lists different? Using the local yellow pages or city directory, have students look up several occupations such as attorney, doctor, dentist, mechanic or construction worker. What percentage of those listed are female? What are some of the obstacles women face professionally? Compare these obstacles with those faced by Clara Barton and other women in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. How are they different? How are they alike? Have some obstacles disappeared? Have new ones appeared? Ask students to write an editorial to the local newspaper expressing their views on equality.
Activity 3: Researching the Life of Clara Barton
Students may wish to do further reading about Clara Barton. Have them present their research in oral or written reports or in panel discussions. The most complete biography of Barton is Elizabeth B. Pryor, Clara Barton Professional Angel (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1987). An interesting book about her involvement in the Civil War is Cathy E. Dubowski, Clara Barton, Healing the Wounds (Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Silver Burdett, 1991). To read about other National Park Service sites associated with Clara Barton consider the following: Philip Foner, ed., Frederick Douglass on Women's Rights (Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, 1976); Ovid Futch, The History of Andersonville Prison (University of Florida Press, 1968); David McCullough, The Johnstown Flood (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1978); and James V. Murfin, The Gleam of Bayonets (Baton Rouge, La.: Louisiana State University Press, 1965).
Activity 4: Local Assistance Groups
Have students (individually or in small groups) investigate the other organizations in their area which offer assistance, including the Salvation Army, YMCA, YWCA, community centers, homeless shelters, boys and girls clubs, churches, etc. What similarities and differences exist among the organizations? How were these organizations started? Compare the origins of these organizations with that of the Red Cross. Discuss how the similarities and differences help each organization meet the needs of the community. Brainstorm ideas for assistance within their own community and discuss ideas with an organization representative. Work with the organization representative to design a project that would allow the students to assist the organization.

GMO fish are one step closer to sale in the U.S., reports the LA Times:
After more than a decade in regulatory limbo, genetically engineered Atlantic salmon that grow faster than their naturally born counterparts moved closer to American plates, with the publication Friday of a government report that found the fish wouldn't hurt the environment and would be safe to eat.
The biggest environmental issue regarding the salmon is the possibility that they might escape and interbreed with or supplant wild fish. The FDA's environmental assessment argues that the risk is negligible:
AquAdvantage Salmon would be produced and grown-out in secure facilities that have been verified and validated by FDA. As a result, the possibility that GE fish could escape from containment, enter the local environments of PEI or Panama, and survive to reproduce is extremely remote. In addition, because the production process for AquAdvantage Salmon would ensure that populations produced will be triploid (effectively sterile), all-female animals, the possibility of their reproducing in the wild is likewise extremely remote. Finally, the inhospitable environmental conditions around the egg production and grow-out facilities further reduce the possibility of establishment and spread.
The 2010 draft of the environmental assessment contained a handy summary of the containment measures (the information seemed to be scattered in different places in the final draft). Here's a list:
- 'Physical measures include multiple mechanical means to prevent escape (e.g., screens, filters, etc.), while physico-chemical measures include the use of chlorine to kill any potential escapees.
- 'A strong management operations plan ensures that these containment measures are reliably implemented.
- 'Geographical and geophysical containment is provided by the location of the egg production and grow-out sites: the environment surrounding the egg-production site in Canada is inhospitable to early-life stages of Atlantic salmon due to high salinity; and, the environment downstream of the grow-out site in Panama is inhospitable to all life stages of Atlantic salmon due to high water temperatures, poor habitat, and physical barriers (e.g., several hydro-electric facilities).
- 'Biological containment is accomplished through the production of all-female triploid fish, which reduces the chance of breeding with native species, and significantly reduces the risk of transgene propagation in the environment.'
I checked to see if the assessment considered the additional hazards posed by hurricanes or sabotage, which might cause simultaneous failures in several of these safeguards, and it did discuss them..
There's a possibility that the salmon might be raised in less secure facilities in the future, which FDA not be able to control. However, having spent a decade trying to prove the safety of the salmon, the producer clearly has an incentive to maintain its credibility. According to Nature, the producer promised to sell the fish only to farmers using enclosed facilities on land.
NOAA and the NMFS agree with the FDA's assessment. Of course, the devil is in the details, and there is sure to be more controversy and litigation to come. FDA has, however, apparently taken the "hard look" at environmental consequences and produced a plausible-seeming assessment that is likely to receive deference from the courts.

Press Statement 14-001
Philip M. Smith, former Polar Programs deputy director and advocate for U.S. International Polar Year involvement, dies at 81
Helped to built essential momentum for the IPY across the federal government
March 31, 2014
This material is available primarily for archival purposes. Telephone numbers or other contact information may be out of date; please see current contact information at media contacts.
Philip M. Smith, a pioneering polar researcher and former deputy director of what was, at the time, the Office of Polar Programs (OPP) at the National Science Foundation (NSF), died on Feb. 16. The New Mexico resident was 81.
Smith, who came to NSF in 1958, began his association with U.S. National Programs in Polar Regions in 1955. While in the U.S. Army, he spent a year in Greenland and, during the International Geophysical Year (IGY), he developed a tractor traverse between Antarctica's Little America V and Byrd stations. During the 1957-1958 research season, Smith, employed by the Arctic Institute of North America, did glaciological research at Camp Michigan on the Ross Ice Shelf and later was dispatched to McMurdo Station to assist in post-IGY transitional activities.
Prior to becoming deputy OPP head OPP in 1970, Smith was director of field requirements and coordination in what was formerly the Office of Antarctic Programs.
According to a 1974 article in the Antarctic Journal of the United States, several logistics innovations evolved under his leadership. These include the Unmanned Geophysical Observatory, the under-ice observation chamber, development and use of a pre-fabricated module for station construction, use of ski-equipped LC-130 aircraft in field program support, and the use of helicopters to increase mobility in the McMurdo Dry Valleys. All of these innovations promoted new, or more effective, scientific observations.
He also encouraged such programs as the International Antarctic Glaciological Project and the Dry Valley Drilling Project, and was active in U.S. contributions to the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Smith was involved in policy and management studies related to the transfer of Antarctic program responsibilities from the Department of Defense to NSF.
From 1975 to 1981, Smith served as associate director for for natural resources, energy and science in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
Several years after he retired from the National Research Council (NRC), Smith took up the challenge of planning for an active U.S. program for International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-2009.He was credited with personally persuading the presidents of the U.S. National Academies to sponsor a planning workshop at the NRC, volunteered to serve as the workshop moderator, and summarized the workshop conclusions in what proved to be a highly influential report.
The report, delivered in mid-2004, defined principal U.S. IPY goals for polar research, education and logistics and built essential momentum for the effort across the federal government.
NSF was designated as the lead U.S. agency for IPY.
In honor of his extraordinary accomplishments, two geographic features in Antarctica are named for him: Smith Bluffs and Smith Glacier. Both are in West Antarctica.

Sentence 1 asks if the library will open for the first time ever today. Perhaps there will be a ceremony where someone will open the doors for the first time. Maybe it's the first time there has been a library in the town.
Sentence 2 simply asks if the library will be open for people to come in and borrow books today. Will it be open, not closed?

San Jose Earthquakes defender Bobby Burling visited Gunderson High School on Monday afternoon in San Jose as a part of the Amway Kicks for Kids program. The Amway Kicks for Kids program, in its second year, helps teach local youth about the importance of a healthy diet and an active lifestyle.
The students greeted the Quakes defender with cheers and applause as they took their place in front of the crowd of 150 students who attended the assembly on a beautiful day in San Jose.
Burling stressed the impact a healthy diet and active lifestyle has had on his life. The Colorado native told the students how a healthy diet helped him to have the energy to play soccer at a competitive level. He also explained the importance of being active and getting enough rest to perform at your best. Burling spoke about how he got started in his career and emphasized the importance of education, as it was College Week at Gunderson High School.
After he finished speaking, Burling selected two students to join him in on stage for a juggling challenge. Next he participated in a question and answer session where the topics ranged from who his favorite players in other leagues are, what the key is to the Quakes defense and what is the most important characteristic a soccer player can have is.
To conclude the afternoon, Burling signed autographs and posed for photographs with the students. Earthquakes staff passed out t-shirts and two tickets to the Quakes match against the Chicago Fire on Sept. 29 at Buck Shaw Stadium at 8 p.m. to all the children.
The Earthquakes and Amway teamed up to create the Amway Kicks for Kids program in 2009. Throughout the 2010 season Earthquakes players will visit 15 schools or community centers in the Bay Area to discuss the importance of being active and living a healthy lifestyle.

Hudson Valley Films
We are a start up film/tv production company located in the lower Hudson Valley area of New York State. Most of the designs that come about in our geographical locale showcase the serenity of the Hudson River planked by mountains. We're not opposed to this approach BUT are looking for something that immediately showcases what we do with just a hint of where we are.
We need to appeal to a broad audience of adults (18-100!). We don't want to scare anyone away by appearing "too youthful" or "too old". Mature and professional forward thinkers is pretty much what we're comprised of. Our tagline MAY be "everyone has a story".
Overall, we want people to immediately think "strong/powerful" coupled with "media".
We like clean, simple designs (we realize that no design is "simple") -- not a lot of intense, multicolor graphics surrounding a name. Please avoid gaudy and overdone.
Please steer clear of the cliché - a broad wave, an arching "c" shape. See iLead contest, #28 for nice use of "wave" incorporation (other designs we like on the iLead contest are 13, 18, 21, 48).
We do like a retro-modern feel but we want the logo to feel progressive.
Feel free to use initials as the focal point (HVF) although the more we see this the less we feel it is necessary. Use your judgment. KEEP IN MIND: HUDSON VALLEY is one place. So, don't break off HUDSON and minimalize VALLEY, please.
We have an open mind - surprise us. The above are just guidelines. Feel free to think completely out of the box. Simply put, we are a professional film/tv company in a rather serene, progressive area (there are a lot of loft spaces opening up in old brick factories, art museums, etc. and up and coming art community).

I really want to add more plants, but I may have set the current up to fail. I have one amazon sword, one anubias nana and a lucky bamboo which is half submerged. All I have is a general flourescent 15w T8, and my substrate is river rock from Petco.
I added Aqueon plant food and it says it doesn't contain phosphates or nitrate
Should I add Seachem flourite or something under my gravel while the tank is still cycling? And if I need a better bulb, what type of single bulb would be sufficient for a few swords and such?

Rubicon Genomics Reports Surge In 2013 Sales Of Its Nucleic Acid Library Prep Kits
--Revenues from Sales of ThruPLEX®-FD Prep Kits and PicoPLEX™ WGA Kits Increased 85%; Higher Volumes are Enabling 2014 Price Reductions--
Dec 23, 2013, 07:30 ET
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Rubicon Genomics, Inc.,(Rubicon) today reported major gains in 2013 sales of its nucleic acid library preparation products, ThruPLEX®-FD Prep Kits and PicoPLEX™ WGA Kits, resulting in an increase in company revenues of 85%.
James Koziarz, PhD, CEO of Rubicon Genomics, commented, "This has been a breakout year for Rubicon, as our expanded marketing efforts and use of our DNA prep kits in high visibility scientific publications have made more researchers aware of the advantages of our technology. Our patented ThruPLEX and PicoPLEX kits enable high quality sequencing of research and clinical samples that previously were too small or too degraded for testing."
In the past year, Rubicon technology has been used in studies featured in such publications as Nature1, Nature Genetics2 and Nature Methods3. The Nature study was the first to show that exomes sequenced from patient plasma could serve as a non-invasive biopsy to track the evolution of cancer in response to therapy, and ThruPLEX-FD was intrinsic to the success of that effort.
Dr. Koziarz continued, "Increased sales have allowed us to expand our resources to better serve our customers, including adding noted NGS researcher Dr. Kamran Shazand to lead our applications team. They also have generated production efficiencies that are enabling us to reduce prices in 2014, with the goal of ensuring broad access to Rubicon kits as we continue to grow our network of global distributors."
ThruPLEX-FD Prep Kits for Illumina® NGS platforms provide sensitive and consistent sequencing from challenging samples containing very small amounts of DNA or degraded DNA, delivering rapid sequencing of plasma, formalin-fixed, ChIP and other fragmented DNA samples with increased throughput. ThruPlex-FD employs a highly efficient, user-friendly process that uses a single tube and requires less than two hours.
PicoPLEX-WGA Kits amplify DNA to yield a highly reproducible library from single cells with input concentrations as low as 15 picograms, producing DNA for analyses where accuracy and reproducibility are important. The easy-to-use single tube protocol reduces handling errors and background and dramatically improves time to results. The product is used in research and clinical applications and has been widely adopted in IVF pre-implantation screening.

Following a trail of phrases
Wick's World
Historically, the term "Off with their (his or her) head" had been in use in Europe centuries before it appeared in 1592 in the Shakespearean play "Henry the VI, part III" when Queen Mary stated, "Off with his head and set it on York Gates."
The term wasn't popularized in America until Lewis Carroll wrote his time-everlasting story in 1865 in the book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." In the story, about the only words coming out of The Queen of Heart's mouth were, "Off with his head. Off with her head."
Obviously the term had been in public use long before Americans began the use of the term "redskins" to identify the Native Americans who were inconveniently occupying the land the Europeans claimed for themselves.
As a person who has always taken a deep interest in the origin of words and phrases, the term "redskins" once again entered my world last week. The Washington Redskins NFL football team would be in town to play our beloved Minnesota Vikings. Accompanying this rare appearance by the Redskins would be the attention given to the fact that the team from the capitol city of our great American nation, Washington, D.C., was still using a derogatory racial epithet as its nickname; or from a differing point of view, the team was simply honoring the people we had once so dishonored when we mis-appropriated their land for our use.
So, you may wonder, what does this have to do with the origins of the phrase, "Off with their head"?
The week the Washington Redskins came to town and so graciously offered the Minnesota Vikings their second win of a very disappointing season, I began reading a book by Elizabeth Johanneck called "Hidden History of the Minnesota River Valley."
In it she makes the point that a generation ago, much of what was taught in our schools was a rather distorted white man's version of the events surrounding the Minnesota River Valley during the 1860s. Much of it contained outright lies, especially the origin and use of the term "scalping." During a conversation with Hereditary Chief Ernest Wabasha of the Mdewakanton Tribe, author Johannek was advised that scalping was not one of their customs.
"No. It was introduced by the Europeans. We did it in retribution for a death. And not only that, the United States government paid money for the scalp of an Indian," Chief Wabasha stated.
Our government had been paying bounties for Indians long before the largest public mass execution in our nation's history — the 1862 hanging of 38 Native Americans near Mankato, Minnesota.
As far back as 1000 A.D., European royalty had been paying bounties for the heads of their enemies. It was the Earl of Essex who was believed to have coined the phrase, "Off with their heads." This practice led to the term "head count."
Christopher Columbus brought this barbaric practice to the New World as an incentive to rid the land of the nuisance of the people already living there. Eventually, the colonists complained that the storing of the bounty (human heads) was not only too inconvenient, they also started to smell real bad before they could be turned in for money. The government soon relented and allowed settlers to turn in only the bloody scalps from the heads as proof for reimbursement. It is widely accepted that the term "redskins" was derived from the introduction of bloody scalps to collect a bounty.
Following this trail of origins of words and phrases, I now ask the NFL football team from our nation's capitol in Washington, D.C., how your use of the term "redskins" honors Native Americans?

I would like to have 3 litttle girls (approximately 7 years old) running toward a soccer ball which is exploding out in front of them. One of the girls with a ponytail, one with long hair and one with short hair. Also have a cute dog running with the girls. Team name of Dynamite curved on top of the picture of the girls and Hatfield 3 vs. 3 tournament on bottom. Maybe a version with just Hatfield 3 vs. 3 on bottom. Can be different colors Red shirt and black shorts for the girls. Girls are smiling. Some sweat coming off of them. Dog with tounge out of mouth. As you are standing looking at the shirt the girls and dog are coming at you with soccer ball in front of them.

Rottingdean, a Sussex village within the City of Brighton and Hove, developed as a small community around the pond in Saxon times and its name means 'the village of Rota's people'. The domesday book records that the land was given to William de Warrenne the Lord of Lewes as a reward for his support at the Battle of Hastings. For centuries it remained an isolated rural farming settlement and only became accessible as the coastal road from Brighton improved.
Towards the end of the 19th century it offered seclusion and inspiration for many artists, writers and public figures, factors which influence both residents and visitors to this day.The main attractions in the town are Kipling's Garden, Rottingdean Windmill, St. Margaret's Church with its beautiful stained glass windows and some traditional old inns which were once frequented by smugglers in the area.
Thanks to Chris Hall for the lovely photo of the Village Pond.
Mick, who was was born at Sheringham, on the North Norfolk coast , now lives and works overlooking the sea in Rottingdean on the Sussex coast. He divides his time between painting and teaching.You can learn more about Mick and his work at mickbensley.com

ATVs vs. Side-by-Sides: What's the Difference?
ATVs and side-by-sides serve similar purposes, but have some key differences.
What to Look for When Buying a Used ATV or UTV
Along with making sure everything is mechanically sound, you need to make sure you find the one that best suits your needs
ATV Overview
You're always ready to get up at dawn and won't stop working until the job is done right. The Honda Foreman is no different. That's because our engineers work tirelessly to make sure our ATVs can handle a wide variety of tasks and adventures, big, small, tough or fun.
The Foreman has long been Honda's real workhorse, and plenty of riders find it the perfect size for both work and fun. It's strong, rugged, famously reliable. Plus, its superior Honda engineering means you get more performance out of this ATV than some of the competition's bigger and heavier models.
The soul of this go-to tool is its proven fuel injected 500-class engine that delivers plenty of power and fuel efficiency. The strong, refined chassis offers a long suspension stroke for a smooth and nimble ride that's perfect for rough terrain. The Foreman's driveline works hard for you by maximizing front-end power transfer and traction. And finally, all of these features are wrapped up in some tough, aggressively styled bodywork and new color choices for 2018. This package really works.Features may include:
- Traction to get you there
The Honda Foreman features a front differential with traction to spare. TraxLok® lets you switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive with the push of a button. Need more traction? Completely lock the front differential and drive full power to all four wheels. This comes handy when you're in rocky, swampy or uneven terrain.
- Even its style has a job.
Sure the Foreman looks great. But its bodywork does more than just look good. It's designed to last and protect you from mud and other debris. After that, its job is to keep looking good as long as you own it.
- Easy-to-use Reverse Lever.
The Foreman sports a reverse lever that's designed to be rugged, simple, intuitive and easy to use. Getting out of a tight spot on the trail or backing up to load or unload your Foreman is a breeze.
- Takes a beating, so you don't have to.
Our Foreman 4x4 models with swingarm rear suspension give you a solid, locked rear axle design so its strong with less body squat when towing. Add the Foreman's comfortable saddle and superior ergonomics, and you can feel good all day tackling your favorite trails or your toughest chores.

ROCHESTER — In the State of our Estuaries 2013 booklet, recently published by the UNH-based Piscataqua Region Estuaries Partnership (PREP), the alarm was once again sounded about the inexorable growth of impervious surfaces in every community in the region stretching from New Durham and Wakefield southward to Portsmouth and New Castle.
Impervious surfaces, to quote PREP, are "parking lots, roadways, and roofs." Why their expansion is a matter of concern, is because "during rain storms and snow melt, water running off of impervious surfaces carries pollutants and sediments into streams, rivers, lakes and estuaries. To keep waters clean, impervious surfaces should be a low percentage of the total amount of land area of the watershed basin."
The accompanying Rochester Times chart includes all 13 Strafford County towns and cities, plus Brookfield and Wakefield in Carroll County, and Portsmouth, Newington and New Castle in Rockingham County. The communities are ranked by the acreage of impervious surfaces each had in 2010 (Column N), and in every case that acreage has dramatically outstripped population growth over the past 20 years.
Rochester, for example, had 26,630 residents in 1990, and, according to the 2010 Census, the city's population had grown to 29,752 — an increase of 11.7 percent. In this same time period, the city's impervious surface acreage expanded by 105.9 percent, according to PREP figures, from 2,395 acres to 4,928 acres.
Planning Department Director Kenn Ortmann thinks several factors are responsible for this enormous rate of impervious surface expansion.
"My hunch is that there was under-counting to begin with," said Ortmann, suggesting that Rochester's impervious surface acreage in 1990 was, in reality, higher than the given number of 2,395.
"Secondly, there has been a lot of residential development, with bigger houses, bigger garages and bigger driveways," he continued, "and thirdly, there has been fairly significant commercial development, with impervious parking lots — at Walmart and elsewhere on Route 11, at Rochester Crossing and behind the airport — plus all the new subdivisions have roadways."
"Having said that," added Ortmann, "we have become more educated about impervious surfaces. We have started to use technology."
He gave as examples the parking lot for the Holy Rosary Credit Union expansion, and the storage facility off Jarvis Avenue, where surfaces have a more permeable quality, allowing water to infiltrate, rather than run straight off into a storm drain, and thence to the nearest water body.
He noted that a more porous surface works where there is not heavy truck traffic, or a lot of vehicular turns being made.
Ortmann said that infiltration, as well as being more environmentally desirable, has less cost attached to it.
"Curbing, which directs water to storm drains, is expensive, drains have got to be maintained, and with large storm events, culverts get washed out. It is expensive to deal with run-off," he said.
He said that retention ponds, such as those that catch the water coming off the Walmart parking lot, are a form of mitigation, but their drawback is that they take up a lot of space that could otherwise be developed commercially.
He said the challenge is to "figure out a way to mitigate and use the land better," which he called a win-win.
A good example of mitigating impervious surfaces, both Ortmann and Lorie Chase of the Cocheco River Watershed Coalition noted, is the rain garden that has been constructed at the rear of School Street School, in the Willowbrook watershed. This filters the rain that comes off the school roof and yard.
Ortmann said that similar rain gardens or swales could be constructed with new subdivisions, as this puts water back into the ground, which is beneficial for people with wells.
Linda Schier and Dustin Johnson of the Acton-Wakefield Watershed Alliance (AWWA), whose work beneficially impacts the Salmon Falls watershed, have undertaken — with their summer crews — numerous projects such as rain gardens and drip line trenches to catch water from roofs.
"It is better to catch storm water runoff on site and have it cleaned naturally through the soil rather than flowing into municipal storm drains or into lakes and rivers," Schier said.
At a meeting in Rochester Community Center on Jan. 23, at which the 2013 State of the Our Estuaries report was presented, Coastal Scientist Phil Trowbridge pointed out to the audience that the rate of impervious surfaces expansion in the region were easily outstripping population growth.
"Our goal is to keep impervious surfaces at less than 10 percent of the whole area," said Trowbridge.
As the accompanying chart suggests, the 10 percent mark, in 2013, may already have been exceeded, because in this part of the Great Bay watershed, impervious surfaces had reached 9.7 percent of the total area in 2010, with the trend line heading up.
Trowbridge acknowledged that PREP's 50-page report did not record how much mitigation of impervious surfaces had taken place — a very small percentage is generally accepted — but he said they were aware of efforts under way, and were working on future ways of measuring them.
Chart notes
In the accompanying chart, the land area numbers (Column B) are from the PREP report. Columns C, D and F are from the US Census, while Column E numbers were Office of State Planning estimates, and open to question. Columns G through N are from PREP.
Columns 0 through R show the average area of impervious surface per resident in a community. For example, in Rochester's case, the 0.17 acres was obtained by dividing the city's impervious acreage in 2010 (4,928 acres) by the population that year (29,752).
The purpose of these columns of statistics, is to show that while the cities of Rochester, Dover, Portsmouth and Somersworth are at, or near, the top of the table of impervious surfaces, they have relatively low impervious surface acre/person numbers.
Newington, with an acre/person number of 1.65 is an anomaly, as it is a major retail hub, with a small population — all the smaller since the USAF pulled its personnel out of Pease AFB in the early 1990s.
It is, perhaps surprisingly, that the rural communities of Wakefield, Brookfield, and New Durham have (excepting Newington) the highest impervious surface acre/person numbers.
In all 18 communities in the chart, impervious surfaces are still on the rise, but, as yet, there is no available measurement to record remedial steps being taken.

My name is Alyssa and I have a 2011 Mazda 3 GT, it has a 2.5L, it's the pre-factlift front end which means it's the non-CVT automatic transmission (my preferred choice), I ordered it in through Balmoral Park Acura from southern Ontario. It's pretty low mileage, and came with a clean CarProof, it's all original with warranty.
Had the entire car claybar'd and waxed
Bought brand new 205/50R17 Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 that were mounted on the factory 17x6.5" wheels
First fill up
Polished the headlights, didn't really need it, just wanted it perfect
(before and after)
Cleaned it up a bit
Had an OEM block heater installed with a stealth cable routing so it can be hidden
Stealth mode behind the front license plate
Had to buy a new battery, wouldn't hold a charge and struggled with those -40 days
Brand new AGM Eliminator Ultra with 5 year warranty
Brand new batteries are not charged
PSA: charge your new battery before install, they're not even 50% and here's proof, straight from the store onto the Genius and it was flashing at 50% meaning between 25-50%
Installed a CorkSport short ram intake
OEM Mazdaspeed 3 18x7.5 wheels, FedEx lost one so only three showed up, the seller was really good about handling everything and they bought a used OEM wheel to replace the missing one that FedEx lost and I'm still waiting for the fourth wheel to come in
Tires will be removed soon and the wheels are getting refinished in OEM Mazda gun metal wheel paint
I bought some Nankang AS-1 225/45R18 tires to go on the wheels once they're finished
My Tein lowering springs will be installed in the spring when the Mazdaspeed 3 wheels are swapped over

Product Description
Please note this is a larger version of my smaller face cabochons. The 4th photo shows a size comparison of larger vs smaller.
Quantity: 1
Colour: Turquoise blue pearlescent
Size: 39 mm wide by 45 mm tall
This is a nice size for beaded Spirit Art Dolls, Mixed-Media Collage, Altered Art, Bead Embellishing, Jewelry, Scrap booking, pin dolls, small beaded dolls, ATCs, etc.
This peaceful face and similar ones I have listed, was hand-cast, hand manipulated, hand-painted or created in faux beach stone etc, no two will ever be identical.
I've used the swirl or spiral on the forehead of each cabochon from when I first started creating and selling these. This symbol has been found throughout history and in short represents a balanced and centred state of mind.
Cabochons are glue-on, that is they do not have holes. The back is slightly concave to facilitate gluing to a curved surface (as for an art or pin doll), but can be glued to flat surfaces around the edge. The face can also be glued to ultrasuede or Lacys Stiff Stuff in order to bead around (the edges will glue easily to a flat surface, too).
If you would rather sew it to your chosen support you
can easily drill holes from front to back, but they would
show unless you then bead around the face.
While I strive to take pictures as accurately as possible, occasionally the color may not appear the same on your screen as it will in person. Please allow for minor color variation.

If you had to ask us what our favorite GPS navigation app for Windows Phone was, we would go with Navigon. While the app is not free and certainly not the prettiest, it does have the most features and best traffic-route planning that we have come across on Windows Phone. People should consider if they're heavy GPS users, while the "here and there" crowd can stick with Nokia's Drive app.
Today, Navigon USA and Europe have both received updates that make the app even better. Indeed, if there was one issue we had with Navigon, it was just fixed: working below the lockscreen (off by default). This was a frustrating issue as the app would basically cease working at times.
Other new features in version 4.8 for both apps include:
- Traffic information concerning your route can now be read out (TTS)
- Click on POI: Tap and hold on a POI on the map
In addition to the above, we've noticed the UI seems a little smoother for motion and that the Search for POI screen has had a slight redesign, with some of the faux tiles being made smaller.
Overall, Navigon is a solid GPS navigation app that has just become better. While it is certainly the most pricey ($49.99 for the US and $99.99 for all of Europe), you get what you pay for in terms of features, including red light camera warnings, energy saver mode, street names read aloud, lane assist and more. Luckily, Navigon often has sales of their app, so while these full prices are a cost prohibitive for many, if you pay attention to our site often enough, you'll see when they get discounted.
Pick up or update your current Navigon app to version 4.8 for Windows Phone by click here for the USA or here for Europe. Thanks, Mickaël C., for the tip!

With the offseason officially under way, Around the League will examine what's next for all 32 teams. The series continues with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
What's changing
The Jaguars rebooted the braintrust following a 2-14 season, bringing in Dave Caldwell as the new general manager and Gus Bradley as head coach. Jedd Fisch and Bob Babich were hired as offensive and defensive coordinators, both men inheriting hot messes. The Jaguars have a new logo. Now they need a new approach.
Biggest free agents
» DT Terrance Knighton: Knighton lost his starting job in October, but he's a big body that could fit with the defensive philosophy Bradley brings from Seattle.
» CB Derek Cox: Cox has struggled to stay healthy in four seasons with the Jaguars, but he's a worthy starter when on the field.
» OLB Daryl Smith: The all-time franchise leader in tackles, Smith saw his 2012 season mostly wiped out by a groin injury. Could be primed for bounce-back season.
Other key free agents: CB Rashean Mathis, LG Eben Britton, RB Rashad Jennings, C Brad Meester
|Check out the best photos from the Jaguars' 2012 season.
What they need
The Jaguars finished 29th in total offense and 30th in total defense, so it's safe to say they need quite a bit. Jacksonville has the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, which provides a golden opportunity to plug one hole with a premium talent. Athletic offensive linemen are necessary as Fisch installs a zone-blocking scheme. An impact player on the defensive line -- the deepest position in this draft -- is another option. Upgrades are necessary at nearly every position.
Above all, the Jaguars must come to a consensus on Blaine Gabbert, who's been a mighty disappointment since joining the team as the No. 10 overall pick in the 2011 draft. Given the financial committment, the Jaguars still have patience. But how much?
Offseason crystal ball
Gabbert -- who is still just 23 -- will get every shot to win this job out of camp, so don't expect the team to make a drastic move at quarterback. With Maurice Jones-Drew entering the final year of his contract and coming off foot surgery, it would be wise to install a younger back behind him.
Don't rule out Caldwell trading away the No. 2 pick. The Jaguars need a complete roster overhaul. Gaining quantity in exchange for quality would help on that front.
And no, Tim Tebow isn't walking through that door.
