Age and growth of larval fish for use in stock assessments Project Description: Estimates of larval fish abundance provide fishery-independent estimates of fish population size. Most marine fishes spawn small (~1 mm), pelagic eggs, which hatch into small larvae (2-15 mm), which then develop into juveniles and adults. Larvae are easily collected at sea in plankton nets and the number of larvae is related to the number of adults that produced the larvae. Larval indices are being developed for a range of species in the northeast U.S. shelf ecosystem for use as additional information regarding the abundance of adults. In order to calculate larval indices, information is necessary regarding the growth of larval fishes and this project will work with scientists in the Oceanography Branch examining interannual variability in larval growth. Larval growth can determined through examination of fish otoliths, which are an internal bony structure on which daily rings form. Otoliths are dissected from a larva, mounted on a slide, and the number of increments counted. By aging individuals over a range of sizes, a size-at-age relationship can be developed and growth rate estimated. These estimates are then used in the calculation of the larval indices. By aging larvae collected over a range of years, interannual variability in larval growth can be quantified. Further, these analyses contribute to an understanding of fish ecology and to the assessment of fish stocks. This project will involve working with larval fish, dissecting otoliths using a dissecting microscope, counting otolith increments using a compound microscope, building larval length and age data tables, and analyzing length and age data to estimate larval growth rate. Skills Required: Willingness to work at a microscope; basic computer skills; ability to work as part of a research team; basic laboratory and data collection experience is helpful. Location: NOAA Narragansett Laboratory, Narragansett, Rhode Island Intern Supervisor: Jon Hare Number of Intern Slots: 1 2. Monitoring sedimentation dynamics: Emergent and submerged aquatic vegetation in tidal freshwater marshes within the Chesapeake Bay Project Description: The intern will participate in a series of studies developed to characterize and monitor the response of tidal fresh water marshes to anthropogenic and projected climate change impacts. These studies include: 1) wetland sedimentation; the intern will learn and participate in the measurement of surface elevation tables, a technique used to measure surface elevation changes in wetland environments; 2) characterization of wetland emergent vegetation; the intern will learn plant transect techniques to study wetland community structure (i.e., species diversity, plant cover, density, etc.); 3) characterization of submerged aquatic vegetation; the intern will learn sampling techniques to determine species diversity and biomass in riverine environments. In addition, the intern will have the opportunity to gain experience in data entry and exploratory data analyses for the studies listed above, with the option to prepare and give an oral presentation to local staff about some of the results found from data collected. Skills Required: Ability and willingness to work in the field under harsh conditions (i.e. wet and muddy), learn new sampling techniques, and travel to multiple field sites. Although boat handling is not required, the intern should be comfortable traveling in and working on a small boat. Knowledge of field methodologies and experience in data entry/analysis is not required, as these will be taught through hands-on experience. Prior exposure to Excel spreadsheets would be useful. Location: Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Maryland Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, 580 Taylor Avenue, Annapolis, MD 20401, www.dnr.state.md.us/bay/cbnerr/ Intern Supervisor: Patricia Delgado Number of Intern Slots: 1 3. Modeling the atmospheric deposition of mercury to the Great Lakes Project Description: Mercury contamination in the Great Lakes is an ongoing concern, with both public health and wildlife health impacts. Atmospheric deposition likely contributes more mercury to the Lakes and their watersheds than any other loading pathway. However, the amount and source attribution for this deposition is not well known. In this project, mercury released to the air from local, regional, national, and global sources will be modeled from emissions to eventual deposition. This information will be useful in prioritizing local, regional, national, and international actions to reduce mercury loadings to the Great Lakes. Depending on the student's interests and skills, the student will contribute to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative by working on one or more of the following aspects of the modeling project: (a) assembling, analyzing, and/or mapping model inputs (e.g., mercury emissions inventory information and meteorological data), and/or ambient measurement data (for model evaluation); (b) literature review, testing, development, and/or sensitivity analysis of model algorithms dealing with the atmospheric chemistry, and/or wet and dry deposition of mercury. Skills Required: Basic spreadsheet (Excel) skills required for data analysis. GIS (ArcView) skills required if the student is interested in mapping. Algorithm work could proceed on a number of different levels, from literature review, to spreadsheet-based analysis, and even Fortran programming (if the student had experience in programming). Location: NOAA's Air Resources Laboratory, Silver Spring, MD Intern Supervisor: Dr. Mark Cohen (www.arl.noaa.gov/Mercury_modeling.php) Number of Intern Slots: 1 4. Detecting climate trends in the tropical cold-point tropopause Project Description: It is widely believed that stratospheric water vapor concentrations are determined by the temperature of the tropopause in the tropics, where water vapor enters the stratosphere from the troposphere. Because it is a greenhouse gas, changes in stratospheric water vapor have important climate implications, yet they are difficult to estimate from existing water vapor observations. We seek to understand whether radiosonde (weather balloon) data, available since the 1960's, can be used to determine trends in tropical cold- point tropopause (CPT) temperatures (and by inference trends in stratospheric water vapor), or if changes in instrumentation pose an obstacle to such analysis. The project involves comparison of unadjusted CPT temperatures from tropical radiosonde stations with (1) radiosonde temperature observations at standard pressure levels that have been adjusted to account for instrument changes, and (2) CPT temperature data derived from radio occultation observations from the Global Navigation Satellite System. This research project involves data processing, statistical analyses, and graphical and written presentation of results. Depending on the progress made, the intern may be involved in preparation of a manuscript for submission to a peer-reviewed journal. Skills Required: Some experience in the following is helpful (supervision and training will also be provided): computer programming; manipulation of large datasets; statistical analysis; data display and graphics; oral and written communication; and the ability to understand and evaluate research papers related to atmospheric science, observing systems, and climate science. Location: NOAA's Air Resources Laboratory, Silver Spring, MD www.arl.noaa.gov Intern Supervisor: Dr. Dian Seidel Number of Intern Slots: 1 5. Effects of clam and oyster harvesting on juvenile fish habitat Project Description: The intern will participate in a study on juvenile fish habitat utilization on leased shellfish beds prior to and after harvesting operations. Work will involve collection and analysis of video data collected from a drop camera, examination of beam trawl collections, as well as data entry and analysis. It may also include collection and analysis of data from a single beam acoustic seabed classification system (QTCView). The intern will also be required to assist in ongoing sampling on site or in the laboratory such as sediment grabs, coring, collection of benthic infauna, and aging of juvenile fish using otoliths. This internship provides an opportunity for an applicant to participate in fish ecological work, gain experience with video equipment and gain field experience with a drop camera, beam trawls, Smith-McIntyre grabs, and core samplers. Skills Required: Ability to work as part of a research team. Willingness to work outdoors and aboard a research vessel. Sampling locations targeted for this summer are located in Oyster Bay on Long Island and will therefore require long days (12 hours) aboard the research vessel. Basic laboratory and data collection experience is helpful. Experience with Excel spreadsheets and some statistical programs (SAS, Primer) a plus. Location: NOAA Fisheries Milford Laboratory – Milford, CT Intern Supervisor: Jose Pereira, Fisheries Biologist Number of Intern Slots: 2 6. Establishing a quality assessment system for airborne gravity data Project: The Gravity for the Redefinition of the American Vertical Datum (GRAV-D) is a long-term project to redefine the vertical datum for the country. The vertical datum provides the basis for all height measurements in the U.S. and has many diverse uses, including: modeling water flow and flooding, monitoring coastal erosion and mass movement due to magma motion, and quantifying vertical geologic motions (such as those from plate tectonics, and surface and sub-surface water changes). The GRAV-D program is multi-phased and is currently collecting large amounts of airborne remote sensing data of the Earth's gravity field. The intern will examine GPS and gravity data, as well as operator notes that show aircraft dynamics to characterize how turbulence and instrument function affect gravity data quality. Surveys to be used in this analysis are located in Alaska, Puerto Rico & the US Virgin Islands, and the US coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The intern will assist the GRAV-D project team in the development of a comprehensive quality assessment system for both the raw data and intermediate processing products on a line-by-line basis from the airborne surveys. Depending on the intern's interests, qualifications, and available time, they may also investigate how the various quality grades should be weighted and combined to form quality grades for the final data products. Opportunities: The intern will gain general experience in research planning, data analysis, the application of statistics to geophysical datasets, and the effects of the atmosphere on aircraft flight characteristics. They will also learn about modern geophysical measurement instruments and techniques, especially those involved in kinematic GPS and gravity measurements. Preferred Skills: An intern with strong math skills who is familiar with MatLab or C will excel on this project. Familiarity with statistics and the concepts of mechanical engineering or physics will be helpful, but is not required. A strong desire to learn and ability to work on a small team are required. Location: Silver Spring, MD Intern supervisor: Sandy Preaux Number of Intern Slots: 1 (although we would except 2 if they are willing to work as a team to expand the project to include incorporating external atmospheric/meteorological data) 7. Ecology of coastal seascapes: Benthic and pelagic process affecting fish recruitment in coastal ocean habitats Project Description: The Behavioral Ecology Branch is applying a multi-scale approach to fisheries habitat ecology in the Mid-Atlantic Bight Coastal Ocean where physical oceanographic processes are continuously monitored in a well developed, operational Integrated Ocean Observation System (MARCOOS; http://www.marcoos.us/). Our approach blends both traditional field surveys and monitoring with advanced optical and acoustic techniques. We are planning experiments, to examine the effects of pelagic and benthic habitat characteristics on reproduction, growth, mortality and dispersal processes. Summer of 2010 projects include: 1. Analysis of Benthic habitat and surveys of seascapes off Long Island and New Jersey in 2008 and 2009. 2. Pelagic habitat and ichthyoplankton field surveys of seascapes off Long Island and New Jersey. 3. High frequency monitoring of invertebrate and fish larval settlement and oceanographic data at sites within the Long Island and New Jersey seascapes. 4. Laboratory studies of habitat effects on black sea bass behavior. Skills Required: Willingness to work aboard research vessel and as part of a research team. Basic data collection and processing experience is helpful. Enthusiasm is a must. Location: National Marine Fisheries Service, James J. Howard Marine Sciences Laboratory Highlands, New Jersey Intern Supervisors: John Manderson, Linda Stehlik, Beth Phelan Number of Intern Slots: 2-3 8. Molecular Detection of Microorganisms to Enhance Environmental and Marine Animal Health Assessments Project Description: The intern will investigate the use of culture and molecular methods to improve the assessment of coastal water quality and marine mammal health. Targets include fecal indicator bacteria, pathogens, and fecal source identification markers. Work will involve sample processing (microbiological culturing & filtering of environmental samples), molecular biological techniques (nucleic acid extraction, PCR amplification, gel electrophoresis, photodocumentation, qPCR), and data entry & data analysis. Skills Required: Basic knowledge of standard microbiological practices, such as sterile technique. Familiarity with standard molecular biological practices, such as pipetting. Willingness to work outdoors and in a BSL-2 area. Ability to work as part of a research team. Location: NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center, La Jolla, California Intern Supervisor: Dr. Kelly Goodwin Number of Intern Slots: 1 9. Climate change effects on fish early life processes Project Description: This project evaluates the potential effects of climate change on fish populations. Fishes are expected to exhibit increases in metabolic, ontogenetic, and ecological rates as water temperatures increase. Beyond this general expectation of a direct effect of temperature on rates of living, we must also refine details on relationships between water temperature and key processes in fish life cycles, and on indirect effects on the ecology of these species. In addition, the effects of an increased level of ocean acidification – which is rising as a consequence of C02 emissions – on fish are largely unknown and represent a new and exciting research front. We are using a combination of field, laboratory, and experimental data to address these topics with respect to resource fish species of the northeastern USA. The student will be directly involved in field monitoring, laboratory experiments, and/or analyses of archived data in addressing a component of this larger research effort. Among other activities in 2010, we expect to be conducting laboratory experiments on the direct and interactive effects of water temperature and acidity on embryos and larvae of fish species representative of our local fish fauna. As part of our research team, the intern's duties and responsibilities will include: 1) Acquiring spawning fish and/or fertilized fish eggs; 2) Implementing and maintaining laboratory experiments on the joint effects of water temperature and acidity on early-life features of experimental fish including their growth, development, and survival; 3) Collecting, reducing, and summarizing data from direct observations and from digital images of embryonic and larval fish; 4) Participating in 2-day research cruises on Hudson River Estuary as part of ongoing assessments of fish populations near the margin of their geographic ranges; and 5) Supporting ongoing laboratory experiments and analyses. The student will work among other students, research associates, and career NOAA research scientists. Skills required: The student must be willing to work outdoors, on small boat (including overnight cruises), and in the laboratory. Must be detail oriented, organized, with a history of completing assignments; comfortable working with a team; and listens and communicates well. Working familiarity with MS Office (Word/Excel/PowerPoint) is expected. Location: NOAA Fisheries Northeast Fisheries Science Center, Highlands, New Jersey Intern Supervisor: Dr. Christopher Chambers Number of Intern Slots: 1 10. Contaminant exposure risks to early life stages of fishes Project Description: Inshore habitats are used by a variety of marine and estuarine organisms as a source of prey, location for reproduction, and shelter during vulnerable life-stages. These habitats are also the principal location for the infusion of contaminants into the marine environment. Understanding the extent and nature of contamination along industrialized watersheds, as well as the complexity of potential toxic responses by impacted organisms, remains a significant challenge to researchers and resource managers. We are conducting research that 1) examines the evidence for toxicities in indicator fish species to ecologically relevant contaminants, 2) broadens the set of response variables from those traditionally collected to include sublethal, fitness-related end points, and 3) evaluates the relative toxicities of dioxin-like PCB congeners to common and to threatened fish species found within the Hudson River ecosystem. Our focus is on contaminant exposures that occur in the early life of fishes and sublethal responses that are expressed soon thereafter (e.g., late embryos and larvae). We use an experimental laboratory approach and have recently been focusing on threatened species from this ecosystem (e.g., sturgeons). As part of our research team, the intern's duties and responsibilities will include 1) Acquiring spawning fish and/or fertilized fish eggs; 2) Implementing and maintaining laboratory experiments on the toxic effects of PCBs on early- life features of experimental fish including their growth, development, and survival; 3) Collecting, reducing, and summarizing data from direct observations and from digital images of embryonic and larval fish; 4) Participating in 2-day research cruises on Hudson River Estuary as part of ongoing assessments of fish populations near the margin of their geographic ranges; and 5) Supporting ongoing laboratory experiments and analyses. The student will work among other students, research associates, and career NOAA research scientists. Skills required: The student must be willing to work outdoors, on small boat (including overnight cruises), and in the laboratory. Must be detail oriented, organized, with a history of completing assignments; comfortable working with a team; and listens and communicates well. Working familiarity with MS Office (Word/Excel/PowerPoint) is expected. Location: NOAA Fisheries Northeast Fisheries Science Center, Highlands, New Jersey Intern Supervisor: Dr. Christopher Chambers Number of Intern Slots: 1 11. Pacific salmon recolonization of the Cedar River Project description: We are seeking interns that will be key members of a research team including scientists from the Northwest Fisheries Science Center and the University of Washington. Interns will assist us in the field and laboratory on a long-term research project in western Washington where we are examining the recolonization of the Cedar River, a protected watershed that supplies drinking water to the city of Seattle, by Pacific salmon. In the 1900's a diversion dam was constructed that blocked passage of anadromous salmon into the watershed. In 2003, a fish ladder was built, which provided Pacific salmon access to some of the best habitat in Western Washington. This project allows us document the colonization of juvenile and adult salmon as well as determine the ecological effects of these fish on the Cedar River ecosystem. Interns will assist us in field and laboratory work, including habitat and fish surveys (using electrofishing and snorkel surveys); and water, algae, and invertebrate sampling. Field research will be conducted in the Cedar River watershed, an ecological reserve owned by the City of Seattle. Interns will also conduct laboratory work processing water, algae, and invertebrate samples and data entry. Opportunity: This internship provides a unique opportunity to collaborate in a large-scale, long-term ecological research project critical to the conservation of Pacific salmon. The interns will gain valuable experience in field techniques for surveying stream habitat, invertebrates and fish. Interns will gain valuable experience in conservation biology, ecology, fish ecology, stream ecology, and taxonomy. Skills required: Interns must be willing to work under potentially physically demanding conditions and be comfortable working in streams. Experience with snorkeling a plus. We are also looking for someone that is positive and a good communicator; detail oriented; and works well as part of a research team. Coursework in ecology and zoology helpful as is basic experience in collecting field data and laboratory procedures. Location: NOAA/National Marine Fisheries Service, Northwest Fisheries Science Center Cedar River, Washington (field work), Seattle, WA (laboratory work, field coordination), http://www.nwfsc.noaa.gov Intern supervisor: Peter Kiffney Number of Intern Slots Available: 1-2 12. Modulation of seawater chemistry in the experimental fish tanks Project Description: Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has increased from approximately 280 to 386 parts per million (ppm) as a result of human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels. Present levels of atmospheric CO2 would actually be higher than 386 ppm if not for the fact that approximately one third of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions that have occurred during that period have been absorbed by the ocean. As a result of this absorption, dissolved CO2 levels in the world's oceans have also increased. This increase in dissolved CO2, through its interaction with the carbonate buffering chemistry of the ocean, has resulted in a decrease in ocean pH and carbonate ion concentration, a process known as Ocean Acidification. We are seeking an intern to participate in targeted laboratory studies that are intended to quantify the impact of ocean acidification on marine resource species. The intern will be focused on the chemistry aspect of the experiment, e.g. implementing, monitoring, and maintaining the acidification treatments along with assessing any changes in water chemistry that result from the presence of experimental organisms. This research is part of NOAA's Ocean Acidification Research Program. The overarching goals of this program are to monitor the trends in ocean acidification and predict how ecosystems will respond to ocean acidification brought on by burning fossil fuels and to provide information that managers can use to address acidification issues. This internship provides an opportunity to gain laboratory experience in the development and maintenance of experimental environments and in water quality monitoring. Skills Required: The student must have a basic chemistry background and be willing to work in a laboratory setting. The student must be detail oriented, organized, and comfortable working with a team. Basic laboratory and field data collection experience is helpful. Location: NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service, Northeast Fisheries Science Center, James J. Howard Marine Sciences Laboratory at Sandy Hook, Ecosystems Processes Division, Marine Chemistry Branch, Highlands, New Jersey 07732 Intern Supervisor: Dr. Matthew Poach Number of Intern Openings: 1 13. Determination of condition of fish based on the lipid contents Project description: Habitat quality can influence the condition of the fish. Poor condition can affect the growth, ability to avoid predators, migration fitness, overwinter survival and ultimately recruitment into the breeding stock. Fishery biologists use lipids as an important factor in the determination of fish condition. Ecology of Coastal Ocean Seascapes (ECOS) study compares habitat characteristics of two seascapes in the New York Bight to understand their correlation with abundance, distribution and condition of early life stages of different fish species. Fish samples from seascape off the coasts of New Jersey and off Long Island were collected by beam trawl over two the consecutive years from spring into fall. Analyses of different oceanographic and biological parameters are currently underway. We seek to recruit a summer intern to assist in the analyses of lipids in fish in a primarily laboratory setting. Lipid content in the species collected at both seascapes will be analyzed to compare and contrast fish conditions in the two different habitats. Additional analyses will examine overall seasonal changes in lipid levels and its relation to the habitat variation. This internship provides an opportunity to develop analytical skills under the guidance of a lipid researcher. The intern will gain experience in fish dissections, passive lipid extraction protocols, use of digital analytical balance, gravimetric lipid determination and basic knowledge of lipid speciation by using an Iatroscan. Data collected on fish condition can provide valuable information for modelers aiding in the fisheries management. Skills required: The intern should have taken some courses in chemistry. This individual should be detailed oriented and would benefit from having previous laboratory experience. Interest in learning chemistry protocols and instrumental analysis is helpful. Location: NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service, Northeast Fisheries Science Center, James J. Howard Marine Sciences Laboratory at Sandy Hook, Ecosystems Processes Division, Marine Chemistry Branch, Highlands, New Jersey 07732 Intern Supervisor: Beth Sharack Number of Intern Openings: 1 14. Sea Turtle Nest Monitoring in Rookery Bay NERRs, Naples, FL Project Description: Located at the northern end of the Ten Thousand Islands on the gulf coast of Florida, the Rookery Bay Reserve represents one of the few remaining undisturbed mangrove estuaries in North America. It is home to three species of sea turtle - Kemp's ridley Lepidochelys kempii) and Atlantic green (Chelonia midas) turtles are both listed as Endangered species, and the loggerhead (Caretta caretta) is listed as a Threatened species. The loggerhead is the most common species of sea turtle seen along Reserve beaches. Rookery Bay Reserve resource management specialists work in cooperation with U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Collier County Natural Resources and the Conservancy of SW Florida to preserve this threatened species. Reserve staff and volunteers patrol the beaches to locate and cage nests, protecting them from predation by raccoons. We then document the number of hatched eggs to get a better understanding of nesting success. The intern will train and supervise volunteers, and monitor nest establishment and hatch rate, contributing to a multi- year data set on sea turtle nesting and hatching. Skills Required: Must be competent in basic boating skills including: navigation in estuarine/ocean tidal setting, basic boat and engine maintenance, and boating safety. Must have a valid driver's license, be able to swim, and have basic First-Aid skills. Good field observation and data gathering skills are required, as are good people skills. You will be working with and training volunteers and must be a TEAM player. Physically able to work in summer outdoor conditions that include summer heat and humidity, biting insects, and rain. Finally, GIS and GPS skills are a plus but not required. Location: Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Naples, FL www.rookerybay.org Intern Supervisor: Victoria Vazquez, NERRs Research Coordinator Number of Intern Openings: 1 15.

Spirit1: Real FM Radio
The focus of Spirit is on AOSP ROMs. If you don't know what AOSP is, Spirit is likely not the app for you, and you should stick with the stock FM app. Further details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50954346&postcount=7641
Satisfaction guaranteed or full refund. Cancel any time on request, within 30 days. To cancel, email firstname.lastname@example.com with at least your name, email of purchase, and/or order ID or email receipt.
If you're an average phone user, & don't know what Android "rooting" is, Spirit will likely not offer you much more than your stock FM app. If your phone does not have a stock FM app, it is unlikely that Spirit will work on it.
Spirit is mostly for Android enthusiasts who "root" & "ROM" their phones. But it also works on many stock, "store bought" phones.
Spirit Unlocked includes:
- Digital audio features supported ONLY on: ROOTED Non-stock AOSP International Galaxy S/S2/S3/Note/Note2/Player, HTC One/OneXL/OneS/Evo 4G LTE/Xperia T and most Sony 2012+ devices.
- RDS data display in App, Lock-screen & Notification window. RT, PS, PTY, PI & AF RadioText RT, Program Service PS, Program Type PTY, Program ID PI & Alternate Frequency AF.
- Lock-screen & Wired Headset Media Button support for mute, preset, seek, volume & record.
- Many settings: Audio, UI, AF, Digital & Debug categories.
- Unlimited Presets & Preset Lists.

! IMPOSSIBLE Devices: ALL Nexus & MANY Samsung & other devices have FM purposely & unfixably disabled in hardware. No app can EVER fix that.

I understand the price may seem high, but this is a niche app with 10,000 hours of work required over 3+ years. How many other "Real FM Radio" apps are on Google Play ? Almost none.
Why ? Because Android FM is extremely difficult. Google doesn't support FM radio and carriers suppress it. Intensive reverse engineering is required. In the over 3 years since Spirit was first created, nobody else has been "crazy" enough to attempt to compete in this niche (OTA radio) within a niche (AOSP ROMs) or without (all phones with usable FM).
Spirit is not a throwaway game app you play for a few days. How many hours will you spend listening to FM radio in the next several years ?
How much can you save on data plans by listening to free, over the air radio versus streaming ?
If you care about app quality, note CNet article "We're not paying enough for apps": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23568502&postcount=2523
I'm one developer and Spirit is my only substantial app and income. I'm trying to do a job Google said they couldn't for lack of developer resources. :)
Your support for Spirit is appreciated.

Spirit2: Real FM Radio 4 AOSP
I cancel any order on request within 30 days, or much longer when appropriate.
Please email email@example.com to refund, report bugs, or for older versions. Further information and ask any question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/spirit-fm

Android Lollipop 5 required A huge re-architecture of Spirit2, but non-beta KitKat users get the older design.
Spirit2 is the successor to Spirit1 Unlocked and is the "Best Darn FM app"* in existence !
I am still enjoying Spirit 1, is there any reason to pay again for Spirit 2? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52304938&postcount=7787
Spirit2 supports only the most popular, recent, higher end devices that have digital audio support in Spirit1 Unlocked. See list below. The Spirit2 UI and underlying architecture are much improved. Spirit1 Unlocked is still more mature/bug-free and has more features. Your support will help Spirit2 match and exceed the Spirit1 feature set.
Requires AOSP !: If you don't know what AOSP means, Spirit2 is not for you. Spirit1 Unlocked works on numerous stock phones: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mikersmicros.fm_unlock
*"Best darn FM app": Yes, it has some bugs, and may lack some "polish" of stock FM apps, but it's the most functional and has more settings.
The ONLY FM app supporting ALL this: Equalizer, Effects, Recording, BT A2DP and Visualizer.
Spirit2 also supports multiple "remote" displays and controls: Home and lock-screen widget, lock-screen, notification shade, BT AVRCP and future Android remotes. AVRCP puts RDS and station info on the display of compatible BT headsets, and controls Pause/Play and preset selection. Was pretty cool the first time I saw that working.
Spirit2 Beta group. Latest releases for Play customers: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/fm.a2d.s2
Main XDA info thread, LOTS of info updated March 25: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537861
Spirit2 "Official Support"*: ONLY these phones running "Compatible AOSP"** ROMs:
Samsung GS3 GT-I9300
Samsung GS2 GT-I9100
Samsung GS1 GT-I9000
Samsung Note2 GT-N7100
Samsung Note1 GT-N7000
HTC One (GPE requires BT off)
HTC OneXL LTE, OneS, Evo 4G LTE (2013 CM11 only. 2014 kernels broke FM)
LG G2 D802 International and Sprint LS980 only. (Some stock, CM11 and Mahdi ROMs only as of March, 2014)
Motorola Moto G
*"Official Support" means I own the phone and I can properly support it.
**"Compatible AOSP" ROMs includes as many AOSP ROMs as I can reasonably support, that have the FM and audio kernel drivers needed to enable FM. CM11 is the most popular and best supported, except for the incompatible 2014 kernels for HTC OneXL LTE, OneS, and Evo 4G LTE. LG G2 is only supportable on CM11, AOKP and Mahdi ROMs as of April, 2014.
Unofficial Support:
The only other devices with a chance of working fully are those with Qualcomm WCN3660 or newer compatible FM/BT/WiFi chips as well as Qualcomm WDC9310 or newer compatible audio chips. This includes most late 2012+ Sony devices starting with Xperia T. These may or may not work well, and are not officially supported. With sufficient demand I will consider buying a "Z" device and officially supporting some Sony's.
Stock ROMs:
Spirit2 also works reasonably well on many stock or stock derived ROMs when rooted. But there are often problems, such as FM over BT issues on Samsung stock ROMs. Most of my customers are on AOSP/CM ROMs.
Thanks ! :)

Hi! I am a freelance make up artist for print and video residing in the Atlanta area. I lived in New York for a few years, and still love to travel there as often as possible for work or play. My fiance', Thomas, and I love to travel whenever possible. We have had GREAT experiences when using Airbnb, and look forward to new ones in our upcoming travels.
I have just recently posted a rental property of my own. A couple years ago I inherited a condo at the beach that had been in my family. It's located in Gulf Shores, Alabama, and I have been going there with my family since I was about 15. I've spent the last two years fixing it up and giving it a taste of my personality. I love it! When I go there, I feel completely relaxed and at home. I hope to share this experience with some of you that I meet on here!
When I'm not working, I love repurposing old furniture and collecting vintage clothing. My dream is to have my own boutique one day, and help others design cool interior spaces, and dress in style without breaking the bank.
I look forward to the relationships and new friends I will meet through Airbnb. I promise to treat your home with the same love and respect I would give to my own!

Planting where you burned a large brush pile
There is a very large brush pile where I plan to expand my pawpaw planting. I had hoped to burn it during snow cover this past winter, but it never happened, so I will burn during the next rainy day. I am wondering what problems the remnants in the soil from this burning may present to my planting. Will I have any problems planting there? Do you think it will raise the pH to a high level? Pawpaws like low pH. Should I spring for a soil test, or perhaps just spread some sulfur to low pH?
After you're done burning, use a flat edged shovel to remove the thin layer of ash.
I planted a pear on a similar site, though 5 years+ after burn, and it was the only pear that died out. It began drying out on top in the fall, began sprouting in February from the rootstock, I attempted to graft onto rootstock in late march, but cambium was dry-dead.
There are some benefits to using ash, but from what I've read it's best to apply sparsely as the lye in it is caustic and will burn.
I don't know what else could have been in the burnpile. Gypsum boards...
now thats a burn pile like mine.. lol ..
when i burn a pile like that.. its an 8 to 10 hour burn.. and my sand actually turns colors.. and crystallizes [probably not the right term] ..
i moved the pile once.. had no problem re-establishing grass ... provided i could get water out the 500 feet to the area ... so the soil cant be that bad.. but i probably wouldnt go planting $100 specimens out there ...
if you have that big of a pile.. i find it hard to believe.. you are so limited as to space ... that you have to plant right there..
What about burning it damp, even if it takes a few attempts? Make lots of useful charcoal for the soil. If you have hose water, thoroughly wet the pile, let the outside dry a few feet down and burn it, scorching the damp brush underneath. Do it again if need be. Never let the very hot flames or large coals to last long at ground level, spraying when it gets near there.
Rather than ignite the whole pile at once and affect the whole ground area beneath it, I put in the extra work to start a smaller fire nearby and feed it with additional cut-up branches from the giant pile until the big pile all goes up in smoke. It takes a day to do, but I can use the exercise. That way your paw paw planting plans won't be replaced by an Ash tree.

For me, it doesn't get any better than curling up with a good book. Well, it could get a little better if I could knit and read at the same time. Wait! I can. Have you tried listing to audio books while you're knitting? I've been listening to some of the Knitting Out Loud audio books lately and I'm really enjoying knitting while listening to books about knitting. It's official: I'm a knitting dork!My favorite book so far is History of Handknitting: The Compelling History of this Ancient Craft by Richard Rutt, read by Melissa Hughes. (Click on the book title for a short sample.) It's the story of hand knitting from ancient times to the present. Rutt examines museum collections, literary references, and popular legends. Rutt, the former Bishop of Leicester, is an established historical writer, and he brings knitting history to life. Much of this fascinating story takes place in the UK, but Rutt covers knitting as it made its way to the Americas, too. The next audio book I think I'll try is KnitKnit: Profiles + Projects from Knitting's New Wave, written and read by Sabrina Gschwandtner. (Click on the book title for a short sample.) This collection of profiles of contemporary designers is sort of the opposite of History of Handknitting, I guess; it's all about what's happening in knitting now. I love reading about knit designers, and this book fits the bill. I'm a huge Norah Gaughan fan, and there's a profile of her in this book, so that's my hook. There are also twenty-five more profiles, so that should keep me busy for at least one sock's worth of time.I'm always surprised how absorbed I become in an audio book, whether I'm knitting or driving or relaxing in the sun. When I got my iPod a couple of years ago, I wasn't sure how much I'd use it. Turns out I use it every single day. It's loaded with my music, of course, but there's also a healthy list of podcasts (many about knitting) and several audio books. I'm a sucker for a trashy mystery when I'm going on a car trip and I usually like a good bit of literature when I'm sitting around knitting. I've also been known to download Ricky Gervais or David Sedaris, though, so I guess I can't be easily stereotyped in my "reading" taste. You can imagine how happy I was to see the list of audio books in Interweave's catalog. Kathy Goldner, the owner of Knitting Out Loud, the company that produces the audio books Interweave offers, is working on several more classics, including a collection from the Mason-Dixon gals, and an audio version of Knitting for Peace.
Click here to see the audio titles we have to offer and stay tuned for alerts about forthcoming audio books.
I'm putting my iPod in my notions bag now so I don't forget it!
Concerning the audio books on knitting - the one titled: History of Handkniting sounded nice and clear on the sample stream. I could clearly make out every word, and would consider it worth buying. But the other one featured: KnitKnit (profiles) read by Sabrina Gschwandtner was a disappointment. Seems every sixth or seventh word, her voice drops, and the word gets lost and is hard to make out. I had to replay parts of the sample stream several times to make out what she was saying and even then, I missed some of the words (even on such a small sample) - so I can imagine what a chore trying to listen to a whole book would be. Unfortunately her presentation/reading is poorly done for an audio book. She has a habit of swallowing words and lowering her voice every so often.
Kathleen.....enjoying your comments so much! Speaking of
I-Pods, I recently won a contest in "CountyWomanMagazine" for my knitted and felted cell phone, I-Pod, digital camera or etc., holder! Shown on page 47 of the current August/September issue. They will publish the pattern in a later magazine. It's very handy to have a little case with a closure for your I-Pod don't you think?! Especially one made by us for us!!! Sincerely, Jeanie Maier, Missoula, Montana
I am a knitting dork 2 :)
Welcome Kathleen.
I'm a relatively new Ipod user and so far I've just bought audio books and downloaded podcasts through ITune. I love some knitting and fiber art podcasts but some I can't listen to late at night or I get "too excited" to get to sleep. Is there someplace I could get a tutorial on downloading from Interweave sites into ITunes?
Has anyone seen Stephanie Pearl-MePhee's books in audio? Those would also be fun to listen to while knitting!
Or you could just learn to read and knit at the same time.
If you have a good hands-free book holder, you can also read while stitching. : )
I loves your books very must and and very cheap. And so many times i thing now i bye them, but i living in Finland and you to know how exspensive it´s postage. Then i cant to ordet them. I´m very sorry
I have always listened to audio books while knitting or doing my cross stitch. I have loads and I use audible.co.uk every month. I listen to them when on night duty and going to sleep as they are so relaxing too.
Try the Friday Night Knitting Club and Take Two by Kate Jacobs!
Lynne In Dorset, UK
I too love to listen to audiobooks while I knit. I haven't tried the audio knitting books, but I do like unabridged books. I'm a member of audible.com and download 2 books per month. I just listened to a wonderful one called "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. I highly recommend it. About a group of maids in Jackson Mississippi in the 50s and 60s. Several different readers are used.
Thanks for mentioning two of my greatest pleasures...sock knitting and listening to audiobooks on my iPod.
Another great new invention is the Amazon "Kindle". It's a reader, but it also can read to you. And the price just came down. Check it out at Amazon.com.
Also, I suggest any books by Elizabeth Zimmermann for enjoyable & witty entertainment while knitting!
I LOVE listening podcasts and audiobooks while knitting. I confess I make heavy use of our local library for audiobooks. Great way to combine my two favorite hobbies!
I love audio books and use them all the time while knitting and crocheting. But I am so disappointed that Interweave has only created abridged versions. Of course project patterns have to be omitted from those books which contain them, but it seems that all the books, even the 'knit lit' ones, which you are offer are abridged. So sad.
If you've got an iPod Touch or an iPhone, you really need to check out the fantastic knitting tools available as apps. Just search the apps for "knit". There are needle sizers, stitch counters, stash management tools, converters, and even tools to generate ideas about what to knit next!
Or you could just check an audio book out of the library, like "Twilight" or "The Host" or "Harry Potter" or "Quilter's Legacy" or "Fablehaven" or "Pride and Prejudice" or 'Inkheart." All great books for knitting.

Lauren Howard has to remind herself not to shout herpes in a crowded room
It's not easy to do, having spent so much of her time discussing EEHV, or elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus. Lauren recently spearheaded an international workshop on elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus, a virus that causes fatal hemorrhagic disease in elephants. Over 70 participants from 6 countries, including veterinarians, elephant care specialists, virologists, immunologists, and administrators, traveled to Houston for a 2 day workshop focused on better understanding, diagnosing and treating EEHV, which is the single greatest cause of death in young Asian elephants in North America.

'American Blackout': Is National Geographic's take on cyberattack accurate? (+video)
The National Geographic Channel's fictionalized account of a 10-day blackout following a major cyberattack draws on previous events and expert opinions to paint a rather bleak picture.
How would the average US citizen cope in the wake of a catastrophic cyberattack?
Not so well, it turns out.
As the power grid goes down across the country, the streets quickly descend into chaos while consumers ransack stores for bottled water and canned goods.
Those without sufficient cash handy are quickly in dire straits, since no electricity means no credit cards or ATMs, either.
Meanwhile, the heroes of the day are "doomsday preppers" who have had the foresight to stockpile a couple years' worth of bottled water, batteries, and military-style meals-ready-to-eat in secret underground bunkers.
This is the scenario explored in "American Blackout," the National Geographic Channel's fictionalized account of a 10-day-long power outage precipitated by a cyberattack. The program airs Sunday.
"Blackout" draws on previous events and expert opinions to paint a rather bleak picture, its creators say.
The film tends to endorse the maxim, widely held in national security circles, that society is roughly nine missed meals away from chaos.
After that point, people are "pretty well prepared to do whatever it takes" to meet their needs, David Lyle, the National Geographic Channel president, warned as he introduced the film at a première in Washington, D.C., this past week.
US officials have echoed these concerns. "A massive and well-coordinated cyberattack on the electric grid could devastate the economy and cause a large-scale loss of life," warns Richard Andres, a research fellow at National Defense University's Institute for National Security Studies.
Certainly, the average American doesn't seem to be too optimistic about the national response in the event of, say, a major catastrophe like the loss of the power grid.

What's for dinner Sunday?
I think there will be fireworks in town tonight but we won't be going. Our complex will have fireworks Wednesday after an afternoon of arts and crafts, food and drink, salute to our troops with a flyover and three parachutists--the last one descending with the flag. We may go to that. Food, booze and men falling from the sky. What's not to like?
We're having ribs tonight, with roasted potatoes and corn on the cob. Made a strawberry pie for dessert.
What have you been doing today? And what's for dinner tonight?
Roly Poly, which is getting to be my regulard Sunday meal: #38 Hickory Cristo
Smoked Turkey Breast, Melted Brie & Swiss Cheese, Spinach, Mushrooms, Tomato, Grilled Golden Brown with a Side of Fresh Dill Horseradish Sauce
They left off the spinach, duh, and I told them but all I got was "sorry".
Today was our church dinner and it was very good as usual. I came home and took a nap and then shortly after I got up, I was invited to ride along with Amber, Mike and Alyssa so he could pick up his truck from work. However first we stopped at the Chinese place and ate. I was not really hungry when we went in, but ate some. Sure would have enjoyed it more if I had been hungry. Never eat pie before going out to eat is all I can say! :)
Shirley, anything's good with bread and butter. Especially pasta.
Jeaninwa, great minds think alike--you and Jasdip!
Raven, I forgot to tell you last night (well, I didn't forget, I went to bed early), but the Italian sausage/hash brown dish I copied from you was delicious. Harry really liked it and I think there's enough left over for tomorrow night. Thanks!
Sue--you know the old saying, always eat dessert first. I know your church lunches always sound so good, so I understand why you weren't hungry.
Tonight Was our small town picnic. It was too hot outside so we had it in the airconditioned fire hall. We had hamburgers and brat burgers that the businesses furnish and then everyone else brought salads and desserts and chips. We had lemonade or ice tea to drink. It was all very good. Nice talking to a lot of the people. In a town of 50 we had a good turnout.
We are in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Mike's aunt invited us to her house for dinner. Her kids, grands and ggrand were there. We had a lot of fun visiting with them.
Pulled beef on rolls, potato salad, chips, watermellon, baked beans, brownies and cookies for dessert. I had about 7 pounds of cherries that I brought them.
We are headed to Banff, Canada in the morning. We will be there for 5 days.
We had braised rabbit in mustard sauce. It was AWESOME. I could have drank that sauce like soup, and the rabbit was so tender and flavourful. I had gotten two (domestic farmed) rabbits at the market and tossed them in the freezer.
Easy to make too. The house smelled so good! We ate it with mashed potatoes, but they were new crop potatoes and if I had my way I would have just boiled them and added butter and parsley. It seemed a waste to mash them, but DH and DD don't like "lumpy potatoes with green stuff".

E-commerce site says 25 percent of its orders come from customers on mobile devices.
E-commerce wunderkind Fab.com has updated its mobile apps to improve the shopping experience for customers using small screens.
The company created 20 so-called shops, which organize products around specific categories, as well as the ability to browse by color, shops, and price and to further sort products within a shop by price and popularity. These changes were built into the navigation for its mobile app and website home page.
"This is part of our bigger plan to grow from about 3000 unique sku's on Fab at end of 2011 to tens of thousands by end of 2012," CEO Jason Goldberg wrote in a blog post.
Fab.com, a site that says it specializes in daily design inspirations and sales, recently reported that it hit the 2 million member mark, up from 1.5 million in early January.
Since launching its mobile apps in October, mobile accounts for 25 percent of Fab orders on a daily basis. What's more, iPhone members purchase at twice the rate of web members and iPad members purchase at more than four times the rate of web members, Goldberg writes.
In November 2011, nearly half of Fab's traffic came via its daily emails to members. However, in January 2012, direct visits overtook email-driven visits. Goldberg attributes the rise in direct traffic to: mobile visits; an increase in direct visits from members who don't want to wait around for the daily Fab emails that come out each day at 11 a.m. ET; and a tipping point in general awareness after Fab reached 2 million members.
In his blog, Goldberg also notes Pinterest is gaining steam as a source of Fab traffic. While only accounting for 0.68 percent of all visits in January, Pinterest doubled as a percentage of visits that month and overtook Twitter links to claim the no. 7 spot on Fab's list of traffic drivers, he adds.
Fab.com is also now open for anyone to join. Membership numbers were previously restricted to maintain pricing.
Fab also plans to expand in Canada and Europe and is currently looking to bring on a chief merchandising officer based in Berlin for Fab Europe.

Depressed Hamsters Help Researchers 172
from the sad-little-squeakers dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Hamsters don't sink apparently, but float in water.
These are some exciting results!
You learn something new every day. With results like these, how far away can self-replicating autonomous nanobots be?
ExerciseRosenthal suggests that going for a walk or jog, or doing some other form of exercise can also help beat the blues. Exercising is even more effective against SAD if done outside during bright daytime hours.Eat wellIt may be the time of year that you crave comfort foods that are full of starches and sugar, but Rosenthal says these foods can exacerbate seasonal affective disorder.Get awayIf all else fails and if you have the time and money, take a vacation to a sunny place.
Exercise? Eat well? Get away? This article has no purpose to insult us geeks. But I did leave the best for last:
Go outsideSpend as much time outside as possible and when inside, try to maximize your exposure to natural sunlight.
Let's see... cage up some hamsters, deprive them of natural light, natural surroundings, and buddies, give them an artificial sucrose-laden diet, see how they get depressed, give them drugs to make them happy?
And then suggest that these results could apply to people?
How do you know that a hamster hovering near the walls is feeling anxiety?
Well, that's obvious - if the hamster's feet aren't touching the floor it will drift helplessly around its cage, bouncing off the walls and ceiling, propelled by any random passing breeze. That would make any sentient being anxious...
It's a p2p network for exchanging hams. Smoked, honey-roasted, bone-in/out, the selection is incredible. Sometimes it takes a long time to download, and the quality can be variable, but hey it's free.
Whether or not this is true, I know I'd pay good money for an mpg of that. (how much Xanax does it require to get a hamster to hover?)
Actually, it's not a typo. A typo (short for typographical error) is an error caused by hitting the wrong keys while using the keyboard. "Hampster" is a spelling error. The difference is that the former is not a sign of ignorance.
Old programmers never die, they just branch to a new address.
