Each of the many trails and paths in Massachusetts offers distinct sights, flora, fauna and terrain. Exploring them all would probably take a lifetime — so start with the ones that best suit your individual interests.
If you want to put your hiking skills to the test, head west to the Appalachian Trail and Mt. Washington State Forest. For botanical variety, check out Greater Boston's Garden in the Woods. For a leisurely walk through the forest, Weir Hill Reservation, located in Greater Merrimack Valley, is ideal. And for family fun, you'll find an abundance of picnicking areas and moderately difficult trails in the central part of the state in places such as Royalston Falls and the Swift River Reservation.
Walk the salt-marsh boardwalk at Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, in Central Massachusetts, experience Purgatory Chasm, or on Monument Mountain, enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Southern Berkshire County.

'Once' Leads Tony Award Nominations With 11 Nods
Reporter: Associated Press
Tuesday, May 1, 2012
The low-tech musical "Once" based on the love story of a Czech flower seller and an Irish street musician and vacuum cleaner repairman in Dublin got a leading 11 Tony Award nominations Tuesday.
Two other musicals — "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess" and "Nice Work If You Can Get It" — each got 10 nominations as the Tony committee spread the wealth.
"Peter and the Starcatcher," a play about the origins of Peter Pan, earned nine nominations and the revival of "Follies" and the new Disney musical "Newsies" got eight nods each.
The Tony Awards will be broadcast from the Beacon Theatre on June 10. Neil Patrick Harris, the star of "How I Met Your Mother," will be the host.

Item # PRL0100
2013 This model is no longer in stock.
Prologo Skintouch Bar Tape $0.00
Prologo's Skin Touch tape looks like suede rather than a synthetic wrap. And while it's not actually made of leather, it wears like a tough hide, yet provides amazingly firm grip while still feeling as comfortable as a worn-in baseball mitt. Also, Skin Touch maintains its comfortable feel in the heat, because its surface absorbs moisture easily, making it incredibly comfortable over long-mile days under a pounding sun, even if you choose to forgo gloves.
However, if you ride in the worst of weather, such as a lot of rain, you may be interested in Prologo's perforated Micro Touch Handlebar Tape, which has been specifically designed to dissipate deluges and laugh off dirt and road grime more readily.
Prologo Skin Touch Handlebar Tape is a synthetic, suede-like wrap. It is available Black, Blue, and Red.

TEAMS: New York Mets, Kansas City Royals
TEAMS: New York Mets, Kansas City Royals
So we've said all along that the haul for R.A. Dickey would have to be monstrous for the Mets to think about trading him ... or so we would hope. Enter the Kansas City Royals, who are repotedly dangling what could be that monstrous package that could entice the Mets to do it:
In their search for a top-of-the-rotation starter, the Royals have dangled outfielder Wil Myers, the consensus 2012 minor league player of the year, two sources told Yahoo! Sports. (...) The Royals' payroll commitments are around $69 million, leaving them two options to stay within their expected payroll around $73 million: They can pursue a young starter with a cheap contract but not as much experience as the Royals want; or deal for a veteran with a higher salary whose cost would cause them to deal a veteran, such as Bruce Chen or Luke Hochevar, the underachieving starter who also would be a non-tender candidate.
In private conversations I've overheard (albeit between the voices in my head), R.A...

New Track: Maya Azucena – "Fearless" + the MAZU Collection for BeadforLife
October 22nd, 2013
Artist and activist Maya Azucena releases her latest soul-rousing single "Fearless" today having premiered the stream on Essence.com last week. Inspired by the woman's warrior spirit and a tribute to the women of BeadforLife in Uganda, the song also celebrates the launch of the MAZU Collection, Azucena's signature line of handmade jewelry in collaboration with BeadforLife. The Davido produced track is available now on iTunes.
BeadforLife's first signature line of its kind, the MAZU Collection features pieces Azucena helped design using traditional, Ugandan recycled paper beads. Each individual bead is hand-rolled by women in Uganda and the proceeds from jewelry sales empower these women to create sustainable businesses, leaving poverty behind. The line helps to drive BeadforLife's mission forward, to eradicate poverty and to empower women worldwide.

SST 6 Regional Meeting for Public Feedback on Revising the Operating Standards for Students with Disabilities Rescheduled for March 27th
Watch videos about student growth measures and student learning objectives from the Race to the Top Connecting the Dots conference.
Amblyopia (am-blē-ˈō-pē-ə) sometimes referred to as "lazy eye" is the loss of one eye's ability to see details. It is the most common cause of vision problems in children. Amblyopia occurs when the nerve pathway from one eye to the brain does not develop during childhood. When this is present, the abnormal eye sends a blurred image or the wrong image to the brain. This confuses the brain, and the brain may learn to ignore the image from the weaker eye. Amblyopia is a treatable condition. The most common treatment of amblyopia is patching the strong eye. Patching forces the brain to recognize the image from the amblyopic eye and correct itself.
The Ohio Occupational Therapy Transition Outcome (OTTO) Study is recruiting additional Occupational Therapists (OTs) to become involved in Cohort II of this research study. Cohort II OTs will participate in this research study from spring 2013 to spring 2015.

Our take: The AMA Urban Assault Chest Rig, with 6 integrated magazine pouches, is an intuitive, functional and convenient way to store your mags for rapid swap and deployment. This rig holds up to 4 large rifle mags (AK/M4) and 2 pistol mags. This chest rig is constructed of tactical grade 600x600D nylon for a rugged, reliable build quality designed to withstand harsh terrain, drops, nicks and even resists tearing under high stress due to the quality of the thick woven nylon and durable stitching.Equipped with high strength nylon straps and polymer buckles, it is every bit as comfortable as it is easy to wear. Simply place over your head, attach the buckles securely around your back, and you're set with a durable chest harness that's combat-ready.In comparison to other chest rigs on the market, the AMA model is priced aggressively to make for an amazing value.Features:- Integrated non-slip adjustable straps for universal sizing adjustment and comfort.- 4 large rifle mag pouches integrated into chest rig, along with 2 pistol magazine pouches.- Tactical grade Velcro ensures for quick magazine access and storage.- Universal fitment design: fits AK, SP3, M5, M4, M16, S552/551/553, and M14 magazinesColor: OD GREEN
"This looks nice i have a lot of M4 magazines and i was looking for a belt pouch to hold magazines but this is for your chest! I like that even better. It holds six mags-2 for pistol-4 for rifle. Looks like it would be handy to have in a war, especialy in wooded terrain."
"I love the idea of the rig and everything, But being 6'2", the straps are far too short. I will have to rig up some sort of extender"

Nature's Plus Adult's Dental Care Probiotic Lozenges Peppermint -- 60 Lozenges
Disgusting, tastes like chalk & doesn't dissolve
I tried one of these and promptly boxed up the rest in a pile of stuff to try to donate to random people. This was quite disgusting and the mint never actually dissolved, instead staying in my mouth forever. As good as the ingredients are, this product is not worth the money or the effort. The Garden of Life Extraordinary Beauty Mints and Jarrow Probiotic Gum are way better. Don't bother with this one, unless it's free, and even then, don't put it in your mouth.

Bilirubin testing checks for levels of bilirubin in your blood. Bilirubin (bil-ih-ROO-bin), an orange-yellow pigment, is a waste product of the normal breakdown of red blood cells. Bilirubin passes through the liver and eventually out of the body — mostly in feces, a small amount in urine.
Before reaching the liver, bilirubin is called unconjugated, meaning uncombined. In the liver, bilirubin combines with certain sugars to create a water-soluble form called conjugated bilirubin. Conjugated bilirubin passes out of the liver, and in the colon, it is converted back into the unconjugated form en route to being excreted from the body.
Most laboratories use a test that detects conjugated bilirubin, which is called direct. By subtracting the direct bilirubin from the amount of total bilirubin, an estimate of unconjugated bilirubin, called indirect, is obtained.
Higher than normal levels of direct or indirect bilirubin may indicate different types of liver problems. Occasionally, higher bilirubin levels may indicate an increased rate of destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis).

We first started investing in London in 2001 when we backed two American former consultants - Josh Hannah and Vince Monical - who had moved here to start Flutter, the business which later became Betfair. In fact, it's pretty remarkable how far London has come in entrepreneurial terms since we made that first investment and Danny opened our first London office on Clifford Street in 2002.
Since then, we have moved (around the corner) and also set up a London East outpost in Shoreditch, within spitting distance of Silicon Roundabout -- the centre of gravity of London's (and increasingly Europe's) entrepreneurial tech scene. In fact, we pretty much witnessed the birth of Silicon Roundabout when Moo CEO and founder Richard Moross moved into a semi-ropey building on Old Street Roundabout that had been slated for demolition. Richard took on more space than he needed and started offering desks to other startups looking and pretty soon he'd rented out all his extra space.
Old Street Roundabout was famously given the name Silicon Roundabout in 2008 by one of Richard's new tenants: Matt Biddulph, who co-founded Dopplr. Dopplr (Nokia) along with Amee, Soundcloud and Tweetdeck (Twitter) were all part of the original gang in Moo's offices and when Moo finally outgrew its Old Street office, they passed the torch and Huddle moved in. Moo moved to Scrutton Street, also in the heart of Shoreditch and this time we also took a few desks so we could spend a few days a week rubbing shoulders with some of Moo's new gang like Groupspaces, Lanyrd, Lightbox and LevelBusiness.
It turns out we've been pretty active in London over the last 10 years.
We've invested more than £185m in over 40 startups. But while all these companies started small, many have grown up really fast. In fact, in just the last 10 years when you look across all our London investments well over 5,000 new jobs and close to £1.5bn in new annual revenues have been created.
London has really given us exposure to all ends of the startup spectrum.
We have been very active in seed, investing over £26m in 15 London companies over the last decade, including the likes of Moo, Moshi Monsters, PeoplePerHour, Seedcamp, Songkick and Stylelistpick. We've also been involved at the earliest stages with the likes of Funding Circle, Glasses Direct, Housetrip and One Fine Stay.
Just in the last 10 years, London has also nurtured a rich vein of international category leaders and stellar exits we've been lucky enough to be involved with including Betfair (LSE), Last.fm (CBS), Lovefilm (Amazon), Playfish (EA), Net-a-Porter (Richemont) and Skype (eBay). All of these companies were happy to call London their home, but we believe for London - and Europe - we are just at start of creating world-beaters. We see a whole new wave of London companies like Alertme, ASOS (LSE), JustEat, King.com, Moshi Monsters, Mimecast, Viagogo and many others like Badoo, Moneybookers, Spotify and Wonga are all capable of enormous outcomes and taking a fundamental place on the global tech map.
London has some really special characteristics that we love and can really relate to.
Firstly, it is truly international which fits who we are: Canadian, Czech, French, Italian, American, South African, Swiss, Swedish – and oh yes, British. It also fits the profile and the mindset of the entrepreneurs we like to back who have also come to London from all four corners of the world.
Secondly, London is truly a creative, commercial, financial, media & marketing powerhouse on a global level. Now that it's starting to get tech and become one of the world's great entrepreneurial capitals this is a truly powerful cocktail and as such London has definitely become our firm's centre of gravity.
We see the evidence building every month: the buzz around Songkick's Silicon Milk Roundabout, Google's recent decision to build a major campus in Shoreditch, stronger links to Silicon Valley (which we are delighted to help enable with Danny and Mike on the ground in San Francisco) plus of course the Mayor and the UK government's efforts to recognize the importance of tech startups as an essential driver of growth.
We're super excited about the step change we've seen over the last decade and now have 11 partners actively making investments In London from early-stage (Ben, Bernard, Robin, Saul, Simon and myself) to growth (Dom, Giuseppe and Jan) and life sciences (Francesco and Kevin). We love London and are honoured to have played a part in its astounding tech emergence. If the last 10 years are anything to go by, we can only be excited about what the next 10 will bring us. Strap on your cycling helmets!
