Buffumville Dam is located 1.3 miles above the point where the Little River flows into the French River. Completed at a cost of $3 million, the dam is part of a system of six flood control projects designed and built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the Thames River Basin. This system controls flooding from Oxford, Massachusetts, to Long Island Sound. To date, Buffumville Dam has prevented damages of $26.8 million.
Buffumville Lake has a peak storage capacity of 5.2 billion gallons to minimize downstream flooding. At maximum storage, the flood control pool rises 42 feet above the normal recreation pool. This flood water is stored on approximately 500 acres of public land. The U.S. Government purchased the rights to store flood waters on another 273 acres of private land. Much of this flood easement lands borders privately-owned Pierpoint Meadows Pond.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers welcomes you to Buffumville Lake for year-round recreation. Buffumville Park is open daily from mid-May through mid-September. The outdoor sports enthusiast can hunt, fish and boat at Buffumville Lake. For your convenience, Buffumville is a barrier-free park. All local and state laws apply.
The park has a 300-foot-long beach with an enclosed swimming area for your safety. People over 12 pay a fee for using the beach. Picnic tables and grills are located throughout the park, and two picnic shelters can be reserved for a fee. A volleyball court and horseshoe pits can also be reserved for a fee.
The seven-mile Lake Shore Trail begins at the beach and goes around Buffumville Lake. Follow the blue blazes. The damsite features a very popular 27-hole disc-golf course.
We have a handicapped-accessible fishing dock on Buffumville Beach.
There is no hunting in the developed recreation areas of the park or at the dam site. A boat ramp and culvert underneath Oxford Road permit boating on both sides of the lake.
We have a three-acre island available to rent for up to one week. It's primitive camping and you have to have a boat for the short trip to the island. Reservations for the island start on January 1 of each year, beginning at one minute after midnight. Leave a detailed-phone message and you will be registered according to the time the call comes in.
Shelter reservations can be made by calling 1-877-444-6777 or through www.recreation.gov. This is a national service that will better help you book your day at Buffumville Park.
Special Events:
Minimum $50/day, but these fees vary, depending on the event. Please call or e-mail for more information.
Almost 500 acres of land and 200 acres of water comprise the natural environment at Buffumville Lake. On the western side of the lake, red oak, white oak and hickory are commonly found. The east side of Buffumville Lake supports white pine and hemlock. Other species often sited along the lake's edge are red maple, alder, and birch as well as other common wetland plants. Deer, rabbits, geese, raccoons, fox and a variety of songbirds are some of the wildlife species inhabiting these natural areas. The lake is a warm-water fishery, with good populations of largemouth bass, pickerel, horned pout, bream and numerous other fish species.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages the natural resources at Buffumville Lake for multiple uses: flood control, wildlife habitat, forest production, watershed protection, and outdoor recreation.
Buffumville Lake and Hodges Village Dam have ample opportunities to observe southern New England wildlife in its four season cycle.
At Buffumville, visitors can start now, in the fall, observing the birds that remain here as the leaves shed their protective cover. Who stays? Blue Jay families, juncos, titmice, cardinals, chickadees, woodpeckers, red tailed Hawks, Canada geese, to name a few. Who leaves? Warblers, orioles, tanangers, bluebirds, finches, woodducks to name a few more.
Moses Buffum, a successful miller and businessman, was born July 10, 1800 at Smithfield, Rhode Island. He began a hat making business in Slatersville, Massachusetts at the age of 18, and soon became a part-owner of a satinet mill in Millville, Massachusetts. He became the sole owner in 1834, and continued to enlarge his business until his mill burned in 1849.
In 1852, Moses Buffum relocated to Oxford, Massachusetts and started a mill on the Little River manufacturing cassimere (fine woolen goods). The community around his mill became known as Buffumville.
The site where the village of Buffumville was established was first developed as a mill seat in 1812. The 183-acre tract was situated in both Oxford and Charlton. In that year, brothers Alexander and Jonathan Nichols built a dam and sawmill on the Little River. In 1815, they built a two-story house, and in 1818, a gristmill.
Moses continued in his milling business on the Little River at Buffumville until his death in 1874. Moses Buffum was a prominent business man in Oxford. In his "History of the Town of Oxford" (1892), George Daniels has this to say about Moses Buffum: "He had a good business ability and tenacity of purpose, was conscientious and careful for the rights of others, early an anti-slavery man and a Free Soil voter, and was highly respected by all. He was among the most successful businessmen of the town, and died wealthy."

Before taking a test, do a thorough review of your notes. Studying is crucial for a test, but a complete review of your notes just before taking the test can keep the information fresh in your mind. The fresher the information is in your mind, the more easily you can remember it during the test. This can better your performance drastically.

Number One was an old Earth naval term that was used by captains when referring to their first mates. Like many Earth naval traditions, this term carried forward into Starfleet and is used by many captains toward their XOs.
Among the noted Starfleet captains in the habit of calling their XOs "Number One" were Christopher Pike (TOS episode: "The Cage") and Jean-Luc Picard. (STA novel: Progenitor; TNG episode: "Encounter at Farpoint"; TNG novel: Q & A)

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Town takes another shot at Main Street restriping: Diagonal parking spaces now 18 feet long with 45-degree field of vision
Tuesday, August 12, 2014
DURHAM — Following residents expressing concern with the newly created head-in spaces on Main Street, the Department of Public Works has adjusted the spacing of all such parking spots.
The committee has stated it will be moving the yield sign onto Main Street and replacing the previous yield sign with a "merge" sign that will guide traffic turning left onto Main Street. The committee is also planning to move the yield sign on Madbury Road to the opposite side, which will then guide southbound traffic entering Pettee Brook Lane.
Despite making several adjustments to the new configuration of Main Street, the town has concluded the pilot program has been a success. In addition to adding 22 new parking spaces and a designated bike lane, the new configuration has lowered vehicle speeds 10 percent, says Selig. |

The restaurant industry is quickly adopting mobile advertising compared to other industries, according to a new report released this week from Millennial Media, an independent mobile advertising and data platform. The company's report, S.M.A.R.T -- Scorecard for Mobile Advertising Reach and Targeting -- delivers regular insights on key trends in mobile advertising based on actual campaign and platform data from Millennial, according to a company announcement.
Specifically, the report found that the retail and restaurant vertical was the third largest on its platform in Q1 and Q2 2012. Retail and restaurant brands have consistently been in the top 10 on the platform, maintaining spend and mobile activity from quarter to quarter. During the first six months of 2012, retail and restaurant advertiser spend grew at an average of 11 percent a month. Campaigns run by national retail chains, clothing companies, quick-service restaurants and casual dining chains contributed to this growth.
Together, restaurants and QSR brands represented 16 percent of the advertiser mix. QSR restaurants, typically owned by franchisees, utilized the location-based targeting abilities of mobile to stay top of mind when users were near one of their locations, according to the report.
Post-click campaign actions insights
Retail and restaurant advertisers on the platform used a variety of post-click campaign actions in the first half of 2012. Store locator, m-commerce, and view map all over-indexed for retail and restaurant advertisers and were most often delivered to consumers as part of a mobile landing page. Store locator was the largest, involved in 44 percent of the post-click campaign action mix. These three actions can all be the results of the largest campaign goal within the retail and restaurants vertical, driving customers into stores and onto retail websites to make purchases.
One of the aspects that makes mobile uniquely different is its ability to target users wherever they are. Sixty-one percent of retail and restaurant advertisers on the Millennial Media platform utilized a form of location-based targeting in their campaigns in the first six months of 2012. Of these campaigns using location-based targeting, 60 percent of them were a restaurant brand, including QSR, fast casual, casual and fine dining advertisers. Mobile users search for food and dining-out options while they are on the go, whether they are looking to get a quick snack, or try a new restaurant.

Progressive Osseous Heteroplasia (POH)
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Progressive Osseous Heteroplasia (POH) is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Progressive osseous heteroplasia (POH) is an extremely rare disorder characterized by abnormal development of bone in areas of the body where bone is not normally present (heterotopic ossification). The disorder first appears as areas of patchy bone formation (ossification) on the skin during infancy; heterotopic ossification progresses to involve superficial and deep connective tissues, areas of fat beneath the skin (subcutaneous fat), muscles, tendons, ligaments, and the bands of fibrous tissues that support muscle (fascia). This abnormal formation of bone may restrict the movement of affected joints and/or hinder the growth of affected limbs. The course of the disease is unpredictable; some areas of the body may become severely affected while others may remain unaffected.

Outside the Cabin:: The large wraparound deck is great for outdoor family meals. Then relax with some marshmallows around the campfire or watch the swaying trees or bright stars as you lay in the hammock. Children will love the tree house with slide and hammock, swing sets, horseshoes, or playing basketball in front of the 2-car garage. There is a huge selection of board games, videos and DVDs as well as 3 satellite TVs. Hiking and off-roading trails abound. The Grand Canyon Deer Farm/Petting Zoo and Oak Hill Snowplay area (in winter) are only minutes away. There are several small lakes nearby, as well as the Lava Cave and breath-taking Sycamore Canyon hiking/rock climbing area. The area around our cabin is abundant with elk.
The Area:: Rocky Mountain Retreat offers a true sense of being away from it all, yet the town of and Flagstaff with over 200 restaurants, great night life and shopping is only 20 mins away. The historic Route 66 town of Williams is only 10 mins away, where you can catch the Grand Canyon Railway or Polar Express (in winter). The Grand Canyon is a 45 min drive, and fantastic Oak Creek Canyon/ Sedona is about 30 mins. There are two downhill ski resorts 30 and 45 mins away and a cross country ski trail just a couple minutes away.

Rocky Mountain Retreat has something for everyone. Why stay in a hotel room or rent a house in a subdivision when you can create the special memories of a real get-away vacation in the cool pines at Rocky Mountain Retreat!
Guest Reviews::
My husband and I have always loved the mountains. He grew up in the city (Chicago), but I grew up in rural California camping in Yosemite most weekends with my parents, wonderful memories... We wanted to own a special mountain retreat where we could build our family memories while our kids were still young (the above picture is 13 years after we built our cabin ;). We love our time in the woods and our cabin has become very special to our family. We truly enjoy sharing our cabin with our guests.
We did have a great stay at Rocky Mountain Retreat. It was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. We especially loved the outdoor fire pit. We had a campfire in the snow and made snowmen at night. The kids thought that was really fun! If we come back to Arizona we will definitely stay again and we are telling our friends. Happy New year! (guest email)
"We searched a lot of mountain areas and decided that the Flagstaff area had the most to offer - beautiful pine tree covered mountains, close access to skiing, the Grand Canyon and Sedona, a great historic town with tons of restaurants and shopping, and temperatures 20-25 degrees cooler than Phoenix. The town of Flagstaff has a wonderful mix of small-town quaintness and great energy from the young university population. There are fantastic family-owned restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques, as well as all the convenient chain stores we're used to. We knew we wanted acreage with lots of trees (we have enough of 'subdivision life' in Phoenix). We found some beautiful land just 20 mins outside Flagstaff and built our cabin. It was a dream come true for us. We hope your family enjoys this peaceful getaway as much as we have!"
Located just west of Flagstaff. From Flagstaff take I-40 west 16 miles to the Parks exit, turn right, then left onto Route 66 for about a mile. Turn right on Spring Valley Rd and go 6 miles. At the 6 mile marker is our driveway. We are on the right up the hill.
Other Activities: Shopping, Kayaking, Boating, Cross-Country Skiing, Snowmobiling, Wildlife Viewing, Rock Climbing, Basketball Court.

Small businesses employ fewer people now than 10 years ago: Productivity Commission
PUBLISHED: 23 Apr 2013 12:06:21 | UPDATED: 24 Apr 2013 08:11:40PRINT EDITION: 23 Apr 2013A fall in agricultural employment has been blamed for a drop in the small business share of total employment figures. Photo: Peter Braig
Michael Bleby
Overhauling the lawSmall businesses, which employed about 13.8 per cent of the Australian workforce in 2002, have declined in significance and only employed just over 10.8 per cent last year, mirroring a decline in agriculture, an industry in large numbers of self-employed people traditionally work, a Productivity Commission report says.
The fall in the prevalence of micro businesses – or owner-managed unincorporated enterprises – that the government agency identifies in a working paper is a picture of decline that has taken place during both the Howard Coalition and Rudd-Gillard Labor governments.
It has been most pronounced in the mining states of Western Australia and Queensland, where the decline in employment prevalence was between four and five percentage points, compared with a one to two percentage point decline in the rest of the country.
A spokeswoman for Small Business Minister Gary Gray said this was an issue for Employment Minister Bill Shorten.
Opposition small business spokesman Bruce Billson said the decline was a consequence of a slowing economy but also of what he called a concerted push by the government and organised labour to push people out of self-employment into formal employer-employee relationships.
"When the economy is going well, you would have been seeing significant growth in employment as we saw under the Howard government, as well as a strong rate of business formation," Billson told BRW on Tuesday.
"What we've seen is an accord coming across the building and construction industry, in other areas of the economy where powerful unions see their interests advanced by having those contributing to the economy corralled into that traditional employee-employer arrangement, rather than contributing as an independent contractor."
Overhauling the law
Billson, who is drafting the terms of reference for a wide-ranging review of competition law that the Coalition will launch if it wins power in the September 14 election, said it was necessary to overhaul laws put in place 22 years ago, particularly to protect small businesses.
"It's as much about the culture as it is about the way in which larger enterprises are able to use their dominant position to pursue their economic objectives, particularly at the expense of the legitimate economic objectives of a smaller business," he said.
"Measures in current law such as misuse of market power provisions and other provisions designed to promote fair competition between smaller and larger enterprises have proven not to have the utility they were expected to have when they were first conceived and the marketplace itself is changing as well."
Small businesses, like their larger counterparts, could be hurt by the Coalition's reversal last week of an earlier pledge to cut company tax by 1.5 percentage points for all companies. Coalition leader Tony Abbott intends to raise company tax by 1.5 percentage points for the largest 3200 companies to fund his party's proposed paid parental leave scheme.

University of Alberta Adjunct Professor of Wildland Fire Science and Management has Two Books Being Released in early 2015
Dr. Marty Alexander, an adjunct professor in the Department of Renewable Resources at the University of Alberta since 1997, has two wildland fire related books appearing in the first quarter of 2015. A year ago, his first co-authored book – Fire on Earth: An Introduction – was released by Wiley-Blackwell.
The first book to appear in 2015, A Guide to Rate of Fire Spread Models for Australian Vegetation, was jointly published by the CSIRO Land and Water Flagship of Australia and the Australasian Fire and Emergency Service Authorities Council (AFAC). Dr. Alexander is one of six authors, the other five all hailing from Australia. The objective of this book was to provide a technical description of the models presently used operationally in Australia to predict bushfire rate of spread. According to AFAC CEO Stuart Ellis, "Different fire spread models work in different burning conditions. The challenge is knowing which to apply in formulating accurate and timely predictions. This publication will assist fire managers and incident managers in making decisions for the best outcomes in different bushfire conditions. These are decisions that can save lives."
The second book that will appear in early 2015, Current International Perspectives of Wildland Fire, Mankind and the Environment, constitutes a co-edited affair with Dr. Brigitte Leblon, a professor with the Faculty of Forestry and Environmental Management at the University of New Brunswick. The book, published by Nova Science Publishers consists of a collection of nine chapters covering topics that support the management of wildfires and prescribed fires written by authors based in the northern and southern hemispheres.

Graduate opportunities – Interactions between fire and permafrost on peatland hydrology and biogeochemistry.
The Taiga Plains Research Network is looking for a number of motivated graduate students (MSc or PhD) to work on complementary projects on the interaction between wildfire and permafrost on peatland hydrology, soil thermal regimes and biogeochemistry. Permafrost thaw is currently affecting large areas of peatlands in boreal western Canada, a region which also experienced an exceptional fire season in 2014 – which is in agreement with projections of future fire regimes. In order to improve our understanding of the influence of peatlands on water resources, water quality and climate change feedback mechanisms through greenhouse gases, it is thus important to consider interactions between fire and permafrost thaw. The following positions are currently available at University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada, supervised by Dr. David Olefeldt at the department of Renewable Resources:
1. Effects of fire on permafrost stability in peatlands – a chronosequence approach
Project description: Both hydrology and carbon cycling in boreal peatlands is strongly affected by permafrost conditions. It is known from peat archives that peatland fires, common in western Canada, has the potential to trigger permafrost thaw – but it is not known which mechanisms that are responsible, what time frames that are involved or what the resulting rates of thaw are (both vertical and lateral). These questions may be addressed though a chronosequence approach, where permafrost condition s and soil thermal regimes in several nearby peatland sites are studied – but where sites differ in their time since fire (1 - >50 years). There is potential to combine field work with GIS approaches. Field work will be carried out in the vicinity of Fort Simpson, in the Northwest Territories.
Qualifications: BSc or MSc in physical geography or related field. Willingness to work in remote locations. Driver's license. GIS experience an advantage.
2. Carbon cycling in permafrost peatlands after fire
Project description: I am seeking a motivated student with interests in soil science and greenhouse gas exchange between land and atmosphere. Work will focus on soil respiration, with work done both in field and lab experiments, and potentially linked to isotope work. The central question is whether wildfire triggers the mineralization and release of carbon previously stored inert in frozen peat layers. Field work would be located in recently burned peatlands in southern Northwest Territories.
Qualifications: BSc or MSc in biology, physical geography or related field. Willingness to work in remote locations.
3. Export and fate of terrestrial DOC in peatland catchments
Project description: Export of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from peatlands is an important component of terrestrial ecosystem carbon balances. Exported DOC is also a main source of energy in downstream aquatic ecosystems, where it may be mineralized and released to the atmosphere as greenhouse gases. Both fire and permafrost thaw may affect both the quantity and quality of DOC exported from peatlands (including export of black carbon associated with soil combustion during fire), with cascading effects on downstream aquatic carbon cycling. Research will be conducted in the southern Northwest Territories, in streams and lakes of a peatland region with discontinuous permafrost and several recent fires.
Qualifications: BSc or MSc in biology, chemistry, physical geography or related field. Willingness to work in remote locations. Driver's license.
How to apply: Please send a letter of interest to email@example.com. Include resume describing your skills end education, transcripts and names of three referees.
Funding is available through a combination of stipends and TAships, and there is funding for research and conference travel. Starting dates are flexible, either January, May or September 2015.
Recruitment for two graduate students (one M.S. and one Ph.D.) to work in the Department of Forest Resources & Environmental Conservation at Virginia Tech beginning either spring 2015 or summer 2015. The students will have some flexibility in specific topics, but the general research areas will fall in to one of these three general areas of fire and forest ecology:
1) Mechanisms of altered flammability in eastern US woodlands and forests- this lab has been focused on laboratory-scale flammability of a diversity of species from North America. The current work focuses on understanding differential moisture and litterfall relationships and evaluating the lab-based findings in the wild. Interests are focused on oak-hickory ecosystems in north Mississippi and SW Virginia and longleaf pine-oak ecosystems across the southeastern US.
2) Patterns of oak recovery across wildfire severity gradients- this project is working on understanding the pathways of California black oak following wildfires in 2002 and a re-burn in 2012 in the southern Cascades of northern California. Current work is evaluating survival of remnant oaks and tracking the effects of multiple fires on oak community composition and structure.
3) On-going work on the fire ecology of American chestnut, ecology of upland oaks in fire-prone ecosystems, post-fire tree mortality, fire-disease-insect interactions, the ecological consequences of fuels treatments (mostly mastication and prescribed fire) and others that could be pursued.
Strong applicants will be creative, have a competitive GPA, GRE scores, and have substantial research experience, in the field and/or laboratory. Applicants for the Ph.D. position will have a strong research background with publications and substantial statistical and/or modeling experience. Education and training in fire ecology, a lack of fear of statistics, and great passion for your work will all help. In your email to me (email@example.com), please include your research interests, a resume/CV with relevant scores, a writing example, and contact information for two references who can speak to your potential as a productive scholar.
Both positions have competitive stipends, tuition waivers, computing, and travel funding. Virginia Tech is located in Blacksburg, an awesome college town in the Appalachian Mountains with a pleasant climate and vibrant community. The Department of Forest Resources & Environmental Conservation is consistently ranked among the world's most outstanding forestry programs. Related departments across Virginia Tech have related expertise in ecology, meteorology, materials flammability, and modeling.
