The City of Newton in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, is an important residential suburb of Boston, which abuts it on the east. According to the 2000 census, the population of Newton was 83,829, making it the tenth largest city in the state.
Newton does not have a single town center, but is rather a patchwork of 13 "villages", many boasting small "downtown" areas of their own. The 13 villages are: Auburndale, Chestnut Hill, Newton Centre, Newton Corner, Newton Highlands, Newton Lower Falls, Newton Upper Falls (both on the Charles River, and both once small industrial sites), Newtonville, Nonantum (also called "The Lake"), Oak Hill, Thompsonville, Waban, and West Newton. Oak Hill Park is a place within the village of Oak Hill that itself is shown as a village on some city maps. Although most of the villages have a post office, they have no legal definition and no firmly defined borders. This village based system often causes some confusion with regard to addresses and first time visitors. See The Thirteen Villages of Newton
in Reflections in Bullough's Pond, Newton historian Diana Muir describes the early industries that developed in the late 1700s and early 1800s in a series of mills built to take advantage of the water power available at Newton Upper Falls and Newton Lower Falls. Snuff, chocolate, glue, paper and other products were produced in these small mills but, according to Muir, the water power available in Newton was not sufficient to turn Newton into a manufacturing city.
Newton, according to Muir, did become one of America's earliest commuter suburbs. The Boston and Worcester, one of America's earliest railroads, reached West Newton in 1834. Gracious homes sprang up almost instantly on erstwhile farmland on West Newton hill, as men wealthy enough to afford a country seat, but whose business demanded that they be in their downtown Boston offices during the business day, took advantage of the new commuting opportunity offered by the railroad. Muir points out that these early communters needed sufficient wealth to employ a groom and keep horses, to drive them from their hilltop homes to the station.
Further suburbanization came in waves. One wave began with the streetcar lines that made many parts of Newton accessible for commuters in the late nineteenth century, the next wave came in the 1920s when automobiles became affordable to a growing upper middle class. Even then, however, Oak Hill continued to be farmed, mostly market gardening, until the prosperity of the 1950s made all of Newton into a commuter suburb.
The city has two symphony orchestras, the New Philharmonia Orchestra of Massachusetts and the Newton Symphony Orchestra.
The Newton Free Library possesses more than 500,000 volumes of print materials (2004), as well as art, both original and prints, sound recordings and videos: the largest collection in the Minuteman Library Network.
Each April on Patriots Day, the Boston Marathon is run through the city, entering from Wellesley on Route 16 (Washington Street) where runners encounter the first of the four infamous Newton Hills. It then turns right onto Route 30 (Commonwealth Avenue) for the long haul into Boston. There are two more hills before reaching Centre Street, and then the fourth and most infamous of all, Heartbreak Hill, rises shortly after Centre Street. Residents and visitors line the race route along Washington Street and Commonwealth Avenue to cheer the runners.
From Watertown to Waltham to Needham and Dedham, Newton is bounded by the Charles River. The Yankee Division Highway, designated Interstate 95 but known to the locals as Route 128, follows the Charles from Waltham to Dedham, creating a de facto land barrier. The portion of Needham which lies east of 128 and west of the Charles, known as the Needham Industrial Park has become part of a Newton commercial zone and contributes to its heavy traffic, though the tax revenue goes to Needham.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of , of which is land and (0.82%) is water.
There were 31,201 households out of which 31.1% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 55.2% were married couples living together, 8.0% had a female householder with no husband present, and 34.3% were non-families. 25.5% of all households were made up of individuals and 11.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.51 and the average family size was 3.04.
In the city the population was spread out with 21.2% under the age of 18, 10.3% from 18 to 24, 28.2% from 25 to 44, 25.2% from 45 to 64, and 15.1% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 39 years. For every 100 females there were 86.8 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 82.7 males.
According to a 2006 estimate, the median income for a household in the city was $101,001, and the median income for a family was $121,496. Males had a median income of $65,565 versus $46,885 for females. The per capita income for the city was $45,708. About 2.1% of families and 4.3% of the population were below the poverty line, including 4.8% of those under age 18 and 5.0% of those age 65 or over.
Based on statistics reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Newton was the nation's safest city during 1999, 2004 and 2005, and the fourth safest city in the nation in 2006. The designation is based on crime statistics in six categories: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and auto theft.

These are the remaining elected officers for Middlesex County:
It is well-served by three modes of mass transit run by the MBTA; light rail, commuter rail, and bus service. The Green Line "D" Branch, (also known as the Riverside branch) is a light rail line running through the center of the city which makes very frequent trips to downtown Boston, ranging from 10 to 30 minutes away. The Green Line "B" Branch ends close to Boston College on Commonwealth Avenue. The commuter rail, serving the northern villages of Newton that are proximate to Waltham, offers less frequent service to Boston. It runs from every half-an-hour during peak times to every couple of hours otherwise. The northern villages are also served by frequent express buses that head to downtown Boston via the Massachusetts Turnpike.
Newton Centre, which is centered around the Newton Center MBTA Station has been lauded as an example of transit-oriented development.
The Massachusetts Turnpike (Interstate 90), which basically follows the old Boston and Albany Railroad main line right-of-way, runs east and west through Newton, while Route 128 (Interstate 95) slices through the extreme western part of the city in the Lower Falls area. Route 30 (Commonwealth Avenue), route 16 (Watertown Street west to West Newton, where it follows Washington Street west) and route 9 (Worcester Turnpike or Boylston Street) also run east and west through the city. Another major Boston (and Brookline) street, Beacon Street, runs west from the Boston city line to Washington Street west of the hospital, where it terminates at Washington Street.
There are no major north-south roads through Newton: every north-south street in Newton terminates within Newton at one end or the other. The only possible exception is Needham Street, which is north-south at the border between Newton and Needham, but it turns east and becomes Dedham Street, and when it reaches the Boston border, it goes south-east.
There are some north-south streets that are important to intra-Newton traveling. Centre Street runs south from the Watertown town line to Newton Highlands, where it becomes Winchester Street and terminates at Nahanton Street. Walnut Street runs south from Newtonville, where it starts at Crafts Street, down to Newton Highlands, where it ends at Dedham Street.

Victorian Style Porcelain Alphabet Balls
In the late 1800's, ceramic marbles were quite common. They were shaped in to a sphere, put on a pin rack, kiln fired, and then dipped in glaze. Sometimes the marbles came loose from the rack while being fired, which would leave small dips in them. These reproduction alphabet and number balls are made to look as much like their antique counterpart as possible. They are the color of 'antique white', and they have holes in each one to emulate the process of being fired on a rack, and the glaze has a hand dipped appearance.
Most of our customers put them in a hurricane or apothecary jar, a basket, or a big fish bowl. You can also spell out special words with them or use them for art projects. They're perfect for a Victorian or vintage style home, steampunk design, and also a great gift for avid readers, typographers, writers, libraries, and literary majors!
This is one complete alphabet set, both sizes, total of 52 Balls
Small size are 1.25 inches in diameter.
Large size are 1.5 inches in diameter.

The move is to enable the former ruling militia, Séléka, iron internal differences.
After recently carrying out extensive military restructuring, the former Moslem ruling militia in the Central African Republic, CAR, Séléka, are trying to present a more cohesive image by choosing new political leaders, Radio France International, RFI, reported yesterday, July 6, 2014.
The rebels have been meeting in the northern town of Birao since yesterday to sink their differences and also decide on the way forward in preliminary talks with their arch enemies; the largely Christian anti-Balaka militia. To this end, the signing of a joint declaration of intent by the two militias on initial peace talks scheduled for today, July 7, 2014, has been postponed indefinitely until Séléka is able to put its house in order, RFI said.
The two sides have been meeting in the capital, Bangui, since three weeks in a bid to seek some level of mutual understanding in readiness for forthcoming national reconciliation talks scheduled for Brazzaville in Congo. In a broadcast on Friday, July 4, 2014, following last month's mini-summit on her country by sub-regional leaders in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, Transitional President Catherine Samba-Panza, restated that she was still in control of the situation in CAR.
Responding to accusations that sectarian violence had grown out of hand, Samba-Panza reaffirmed her belief in "political dialogue at the top, reconciliation at the grassroots and justice in the middle" as the solution to the country's crisis. She warned that for lasting peace to return, masterminds of violence must be prosecuted, adding that participation in forthcoming political reconciliation should not be seen as compensation for violence and impunity.

President Forever (2004)
Score: 8.5 / 10
For all of you political junkies out there, President Forever is a well-designed, in-depth election simulator that allows players to craft a strategy to lead George Bush, John Kerry or Ralph Nader to victory in the 2004 election.
For the benefit of our readers who live outside of the U.S., note that United States politics are extremely polarized at this point. About 40% of the country's voters think that George Bush is a right-wing nutcase, while another 40% think that anyone who doesn't like George Bush is a limp-wristed, unpatriotic elitist. Constructive dialogue between these two groups has all but stopped, and, increasingly, both sides are turning inward for news and information. Right wingers prefer programs slanted to reinforce their views through sources such as Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, while left leaning voters are turning to the Internet to read political blogs and articles from the foreign press. It's not a pretty sight, but given the intense level of interest this current election battle is generating, President Forever is a great way for voters, spoiling for a fight in either camp, to vent some spleen this summer.
The game does a good job of reflecting this polarization, while still giving players enough wiggle room to sway "undecided" voters in most states. The game begins 7 weeks before the election, when both candidates will be limited to $75 million in public funding to run their campaigns. The percentage of undecided voters in each state ranges from about 5% to about 12% at this point, but Democratic strongholds such as New York and California begin with a much higher percentage of "decided" Democratic voters, while states in the South, Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions begin firmly in the Republican camp.
Players can turn the tide in their favor by advertising state-by-state, traveling to different areas of the country, hosting political "barnstorming" rallies, raising national "crusaders" and state "foot soldiers" and giving policy speeches. Each candidate has a set number of points to spend on these activities per turn, and most activities take a toll on either your budget, your candidate's energy level, or both. Push your advertising budget too
hard at the beginning of the game, and you'll have little room to maneuver financially in the home stretch; push your
candidate too hard, and he may become tired and make a debilitating
gaffe during a rally or a policy speech.
The game's interface – a map of the U.S. with
"red" Republican and "blue" Democrat states
highlighted based on current voter opinion, and a set of menus allowing
you to spend your alloted points each day/turn – is simple enough to
learn in a few minutes, but deep enough to allow endless tweaking. For
example, a "platform" menu allows players to position their
candidate as right-wing, center-right, centrist, center-left or
left-wing on 18 different issues ranging from affirmative action,
business taxes and free trade to terrorism, military intervention and
same-sex marriage. Changing positions has the potential to alter your
candidate's standing for better or worse in specific regions or states,
but altering a position too significantly can generate negative press.
You can also spend your turn points on researching any of these issues, which can help give your policy speeches or advertisements a leg up on the competition. Throughout the game, the press has an unpredictable effect on which issues will become important during the race. If a story comes out about a spike in illegal immigration or renewable energy, for example, voter interest in the issue will increase, and will have a positive or negative impact on your campaign based on your platform position. Similarly, political action committees will randomly run ads for or against your campaign in specific states based on your positions, which will hurt or improve your momentum in those states.
The game may have benefited from the addition of a couple of
other variables. Record voter turnout during the early Democratic
primary contests indicates that many Democrats are chomping at the bit
to vote against Bush in this election. As such, it seems like Kerry
should have an edge over Bush in raising the game's foot soldiers, who
give candidates a "get out the vote" bonus in states where
they are raised and deployed. This could be offset by a Republican Party
edge on fundraising.
Also, while political campaigns generally force candidates
to move toward the center on certain issues, the default settings for
several of Bush and Kerry's platform positions seemed almost too skewed
toward the center. For example, few on either side of the political
spectrum would disagree that President Bush's tax policy is heavily
influenced by the right-wing theory of "trickle down"
economics, where giving tax breaks to corporations and wealthy investors
is thought to help stimulate the economy at large, ultimately providing
more job opportunities for middle and lower class citizens. Also,
President Bush has had to approach Congress several times already to
seek significant additional funds for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq,
yet he begins the game positioned as center or center-right on tax
policy issues and military spending.
Similarly, Kerry is positioned as a centrist on public
health care -- an issue where he is more left leaning -- and as an
advocate for completely unrestricted abortions -- an issue where his
position is more accurately center-left. Oddly, if you tweak several of
these platform issues at the beginning of the game to more accurately
reflect each candidate's historical record, their support initially
plummets in most states.
These are relatively minor issues, though. Overall, the game
does a really impressive job of emulating the many factors that come
into play during a Presidential election, downloadable from the Internet
at $12, its hard to go wrong if you like simulation games and are at all
interested in the outcome of this race.
By the way, if your name is Ralph Nader and you happen to be
a fan of Armchair Empire, please bow out now – you're making it
friggin' impossible for me to win this thing.

The Los Angeles County joint-powers authority planning an interoperable communications system selected Motorola Solutions to develop a P25 digital radio system to pair with a public broadband system that will be developed separately.
Motorola announced the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System Authority (LA-RICS) during the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials' (APCO) conference in Anaheim, Calif.
The radio system, when built, will provide mission-critical communications for more than 34,000 law enforcement, fire and EMS professionals. The five-year contract could be worth as much as $280 million.
Motorola has agreed to design, construct, and maintain the land-mobile radio (LMR) system that will feature Astro 25 Phase 2 700 MHz and UHF digital capabilities.
The new radio system will also connect first responders to regional, state, and federal agencies.

4.0 Topic Schedule
One approach to organising the unit content is to:
- Imagine you are describing the unit to someone else what the main concepts in the unit are and what the relationship between them and the unit as a whole. How does this content relate to the content of other units?
- Arrange the key topics in a way that is meaningful for you and put into the topic schedule.
- Providing your student with a map of course content helps your students to understand how topics relate to / build upon other topics.
The topic schedule is intended to be the back page of the outline so students can tear it off and stick it on their wall if they wish.
Sometimes it is all in the timing.
- Look to timetabling lectures and tutorials (when possible) so that there is appropriate time for preparation or required immediacy for application. The best schedule is dependable on the overall structure of the Unit of Study.
- Consider the flow of unit of study content so that students can keep on building upon the previous week and deepen their learning at each stage.
- Consider the impact assessment can have on learning by scheduling feedback and further assessment opportunities to demonstrate improvement.
- Check all key University dates for start/end of Semester, public holidays, study vacation, examinations, and submission of grades before finalising semester schedules.
Timing different aspects of a Unit of Study is significant to the way students learn and experience the Unit of Study. This applies to content in lectures in relation to tutorials, assessment tasks to different content areas, and evaluation and feedback in relation to the learning events.
No one likes to feel rushed and lacking in time. Scheduling content and assessments in a Unit of Study can be used to support students and staff in managing their time.
- Lecture and tutorial room bookings are done only by the Faculty Timetabling Manager. Consider your ideal arrangement and then contact the Manager to identify availability. A Unit of Study is allocated the same timeslot as the previous time it was delivered if no changes are requested. Bookings are made on a first-come first-served basis.
- A calendar including all Unit of Study key dates and suggested tasks for independent study assists students in creating an overall plan for the Semester. The calendar can be shared using Blackboard and included in the Unit of Study outline.

Solyndra was a manufacturer of cylindrical panels of CIGS thin-film solar cells based in Fremont, California. The company suspended all of its operations as of August 2011 leaving behind the United States government as its largest creditor.[1]
In May 2010, the company was personally promoted by President Obama in his visit as a model for government investment in green technology,[2] and was also visited by former California governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger.[3] A $535 million loan guarantee was applied for under the Bush administration but the loan was denied.[4] The $535 million loan guarantee was later granted by the Obama administration. Private investors also invested more than $1 billion into the company.[2] The company's investors and executives had made substantial donations to Obama's campaign, and the company had also spent a large sum of money on lobbying.[5]
Due to overseas price pressure coming from China in the period of constructing the new plant, the Fab 2, the company had shut-down its original plant, Fab 1, and simultaneously reduced its staff to approximately 1,100 employees.[6] In early September 2011, the company ceased all business activity, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and laid-off all employees.[3] The company is also being sued by employees who were abruptly laid-off.[2]
On September 8th, 2011, Federal Bureau of Investigation Agents executed multiple search warrants at the company's headquarters in Fremont as part of an investigation ...

Dominical is a small beach town, with world-class surf and beautiful sunsets. There are several good restaurants and cafes, decent supermarkets, a bank and a pharmacy. There are a multitude of amazing outdoor experiences, tours and adventures to be had, which we can help arrange. Occasionally there is interesting night life although Dominical is more of a daytime place.

Other Things to Note

We are a no-smoking environment.
We do not allow guests to bring home other unregistered guests, for the privacy and safety of those staying here.

I have never stayed in a hostel before so i was not sure what to expect. The space is a good value and is definitely quiet. I had trouble locating it with my rental car GPS but they were great about communication. Being in a university neighborhood made me feel safe walking around the young and lively streets. The hostel did its job and served its purpose well, however, it is not a magical experience
The room was very nice. It was cozy and perfect if you just need a place to sleep and chill out. It was in central Dominical so it was super convenient to get anywhere- everything was within walking distance. The host kept is distance, which was good because you were able to be independent, but was very helpful when I needed it. All-in-all, it was just what I needed.
Thank you so much Beto for the lovely stay at your place. It was everything and more than what we thought it would be. The place is gorgeous and the rooms very comfortable. My favorite was the out door shower☺. The neighborhood was very inviting and the people are so friendly!! They stick to their moto Pura Vida!!! Thank you so much for making our first leg of our honeymoon so peaceful. One Love
Great place in expansion. Wonderful kitchen facilities. Welcoming and helpful staff. We got great assist for our kid's allergic reaction.
We recommend this place to Airbnb travellers. Be aware of some construction going on as the place is expanding.
A great place to stay if you are in Dominical. We are not into yoga (I did try) and I do think that if you are you would like Danyasa even more.
The deck and rooms are at the back of the house/studio so you won't be bothered by street noices and traffic.
Rooms are small but cosy, clean and have ac.
The deck is a nice place to relax, read a book and has a well equipped kitchen.
The owners are really nice people.
Don't have enough good things to say about this gem. The space itself is very peaceful and comfortable, a veritable sanctuary. The yoga studio is beautiful. Staff were very friendly and helpful in scheduling stuff to do. Dominical is the perfect town for travelers who are trying to save dough and looking for a less touristy experience. By comparison Manuel Antonio felt like Daytona Beach. Great surfing and affordable food (eg Cafe Mono Congo, Pescalito Loco). Filled with local characters and otherwise warm people
We had an amazing stay at Danyasa! Outdoor living at it's finest. Yoga, jungle showers, coconuts next door, beach just minutes away, hula hopping, kind and loving people, this place is so awesome! I would highly recommend Danyasa to anyone visiting Dominical. It was worth the 7hr drive. Brendan and Sofiah were so kind and trusting and went out of their way in making sure that we had a relaxing stay. They are superb hosts!

The 50 Hottest LPGA Golfers and No Mention Of Annika?
It's Wednesday, and all we have is baseball, WNBA fights and a whole bunch of Olympic coverage that you don't care about.
I think it's a perfect time to throw up the Sports Crunch's take on the 50 hottest LPGA golfers of all time.
I seriously can't figure out if I'm attracted to Paula Creamer or not, but I guess if all you have is Captain Crunch in the pantry, it's what you eat for breakfast.

For the purpose of developing a cryogenic pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system, we have been studying the breakthrough behavior of hydrogen isotopes with synthetic zeolite packed-beds under conditions specified for designing a PSA process. Previously, we have reported that overshooting breakthrough curves of tracer D2 in H2 were obtained from experiments of exchange-adsorption carried out after replenishing a packed-bed column with H2 from its outlet, following evacuation for a given period. The overshooting behavior is considered due to the enrichment of the heavier component D2 not only in the adsorption process but also in the evacuation process. In the next work, we have examined the effects of priming flow rates and evacuation periods on the overshooting behavior, using synthetic zeolites 5A and 13X packed-bed columns. In this paper, it is reported that the overshooting profile depends on the conditions of evacuation but not sensitively on the mass flow rates in replenishing process. The overshooting is advantageous for the adsorption process, because of improvement of the breakthrough time. Since the replenishing period is shortened proportionally to the priming flow late, the insensitive dependence of the overshooting on the priming flow rate is favorable to the PSA process, resulting in saving the time for replenishing process.

This was brought up in another discussion, but I feel it deserves a thread of its own. If you have to use major spoilers, please use the "Spoiler" tabs. Simply highlight the text and click the tab above that says "Spoiler."
I have recently been listening to Mark Reads Discworld and I am struck by the early version of Terry's fantasy world. There are continuity errors throughout the series and it is quite possible to pick holes in the history, geography and characterization of many of the denizens. The question is - how important are these?
The Discworld, to me, is a place created in Terry's head where he can exercise his thoughts and feelings about life and the human condition. It is a place where parody and satire reign supreme and where ideas can take on an almost physical form.
To me, it really doesn't matter too much what Terry does with the world he created. It is a tool that allows him to express his feelings and not a social history of a fictitious world.
People have commented on how fast Ankh-Morpork has developed. We now have a railway and a communications system and a news media. We have a working police force and multiculturalism/speciesism (SP). There are citizens of the Disc that are relishing others' cultures and there are those fighting to keep their own identity. But all these are about Terry expressing his thoughts on our lives.
If I were writing a book about multiculturalism set in modern times, it would become an exercise in finger pointing at various countries and religions and those ideas could easily and quickly become out of date. By setting these things into a Fantasy world, there is much more flexibility with little finger pointing. The dwarfs may represent a particular group in the world we live now, but because Terry is writing about human nature, it is likely that they will represent another group altogether in, say, 100 years time. These books are timeless in that respect. It is why we can read such books as Gulliver's Travels and still see a relevance to today's world nearly 300 years after it was written.
So I say that if Terry wants to tweak his world to make a point then why not? It's his creation after all.
What do you all think?

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs' Tyler Skaggs impresses in first start of 2013
Left-hander Tyler Skaggs was back in the Arizona Diamondbacks clubhouse Monday for the first time since spring training, and made his first big league start since September 20, 2012. He looked in control during his six innings of work and pitched through a tough Texas Rangers lineup en route to an impressive 5-3 victory.
"Come on, he was lights out," said manager Kirk Gibson. "Just got all of his pitches over and he executed a great game plan. He had three pitches going. Six innings was great, 102 pitches, he did a great job."
In six innings, the 21-year-old gave up three hits, no runs and struck out a career-high nine batters. Skaggs was brought up as the 26th player for Monday's doubleheader. He replaced starter Ian Kennedy, who's recovering from a cut on the index finger of his pitching hand.
"Spring training was tough for him but certainly he's been on a roll lately in the minor leagues and he threw the ball that way (Monday). We just tell him, you gotta learn how to treat it that way when you're here," said Gibson. "There's no reason you can't throw strikes and execute down there and execute here. You have to trust your defense and just make pitches."
Skaggs came into Monday's game with a 5.23 ERA in nine starts with Triple-A Reno, but in his last three games with the Aces he showed notable improvement with a 2-1 record and a 2.66 ERA.
"Oh yeah, it definitely feels good," said Skaggs after the win. "It feels good to come back to show that spring training was one of those things where I was working out some mechanical problems and now I feel like I'm on top of my game."
It was Skaggs' seventh career start in the big leagues. He was 1-3 with a 5.38 ERA in six starts with the club last season. Oddly enough, he earned his first Major League win in 2012 in game one of a doubleheader against the Miami Marlins.
"I feel like every start gives me more confidence so especially a start like this really kind of helps me," Skaggs said of his solid outing.
Gibson was asked after the game about Skaggs' demeanor in the dugout and on the mound -- something he's maybe struggled with in the past.
"Just something that he has to learn how to deal with," said Gibson. "I heard him talking to himself in the dugout in the second inning. I said, �Hey, no negativity. You're going to make mistakes, they're going to score runs, and we're trying to win games. You just battle your --- off regardless of what the score is. If you go out there and it means keeping your team close, shutting them out, or whatever it means, you just do it. You go as far as you can go and when I take you out, you've left it all out there, that's all that you can do. You just can't be a perfectionist out there; it works on your mind in a bad way.'"
Skaggs did just that in the win. He pitched his butt off. The left-hander threw 102 pitches on the afternoon and 66 went for strikes. Afterwards, the D-backs starter noted that he relied heavily on catcher Wil Nieves, saying he didn't really shake him off much. All part of the maturation process, according to his manager.
"I think he's learned his lesson," said Gibson. "He's maturing, he did a great job for us today and it's everything we could've asked for. This is the best scenario for us, we bring him up here or a spot start and he's the 26th guy today.
"He continues to build his confidence, goes down there and builds on what he's done prior to here, today and maybe what we're going to need in the future."
Skaggs was aware of his one-day situation Monday, and though it was temporary, he noted that all that mattered was making the most of time with the D-backs.
"I knew what this was going to be, kind of a late notice thing," said Skaggs. "Just happy that they called me up and had the confidence in me to start the ball game so hopefully I opened up a few eyes."
The MLB's doubleheader rule allowed the D-backs to bring up a 26th player without having to make a corresponding roster move, but Skaggs will go back to Triple-A following Monday night's game.
When asked after the D-backs' 5-3 win if he'll have some tough decisions to make going forward with his roster and specifically his pitching staff, manager Kirk Gibson didn't hesitate in his answer.
"That's not tough. Those are good decisions. If you just keep getting stronger and stronger, that's fine."
Going forward, Gibson and the D-backs may need to find a spot for Skaggs if he continues to pitch this well but they also have Daniel Hudson returning from the 60-day disable list at some point in July after having Tommy John surgery last season.
It's safe to say that Skaggs made quite an impression in his first start of 2013.

A Breakdown of the ACA's Value-based Reimbursement
The Hospital Value-based Purchasing Program and Hospital Readmission Reduction Program have already made an impact on healthcare systems since they were instituted by the Affordable Care Act in 2010.
As mandated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), this initiative awards acute-care hospitals with incentive payments for the care they provide to Medicare patients.
In turn, the CMS changed the way they pay hospitals. Instead of paying for services on a volume-based model, like the number of hospital stays, CMS now uses those funds to pay healthcare providers based on the quality of care they provide to Medicare patients.

Neil Armstrong
Flashback: 45th anniversary of men walking on the moon
It was an event that would cleave humans' relationship with space in two, separating the millennia in which human beings had merely served as observers, and the moment that humans became visitors to planetary bodies their ancestors could see only from a distance.

Join Adobe InDesign and publishing expert Mike Rankin as he explains how to use InDesign to design a wide range of digital documents, including interactive PDFs and apps for the iPad. This course provides a tour of digital publishing trends and shows how to bring these trends to bear in various projects, such as a slide presentation, a PDF form, and an interactive portfolio. Mike also introduces the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite and shows how to publish dynamic interactive documents to the iPad and other mobile devices.
One of the most popular and successful magazines that uses Adobe's Digital Publishing Suite is National Geographic. It won the Best Tablet Magazine Award in the 2012 National Magazine Awards for Digital Media. Let's take a tour of the interactivity that makes National Geographic's tablet edition so special. To view my issues of National Geographic, I'll go to my Newsstand, I'll tap the National Geographic app on the shelf, and I come to my library. This is where I can see all the issues available for me to download.
I've already downloaded some issues and for those, I have buttons to view the issue or to archive the issue, which removes it from my device. An archived issue can be downloaded again at any time. Let's take a look at the issue devoted to the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. I'll tap View and the first thing I see is a 360-degree rendering of the wreck, the Titanic, as it is now. And when the animation is done, the rest of the cover fades in.
I can swipe horizontally to go to the table of contents, and if I wanted to see that 360-degree animation, I can swipe back again. So that animation plays whenever the page is loaded. If I tap, I get navigation controls at the top and bottom of the screen. I can tap at the top-left to view a scrolling list of articles in the issue, along with thumbnails of each. If I tap an article, I jump to it. Here I can read the Editor's Note and there's a button to send the editor an email.
I can also tap the star at the top- right to add an article to my favorites. On the far right, I can tap to view all the articles in a horizontally scrolling view. As I swipe, when a different article comes into the center of the view, its description appears at the top, and I can tap any page to go to it. I'll tap on the first page of the Visions section of the magazine, and when I'm viewing this photo, I can tap a small button to reveal the photo's caption, and tap again to hide the caption. This is a very clever use of buttons that allows National Geographic to have the photo take up the whole screen and not have to leave space for the caption.
I'll tap again to look at one more navigation feature, and that's at the bottom of the page where I can drag a slider to reveal thumbnails and descriptions of each page. When I see the page I want to go to, I can release the slider. So here's the cover story on the Titanic, and notice that I have social media links integrated right on the page with Twitter and Facebook buttons, as well as email. On the lower-right of the page I can see an indication that this article scrolls vertically. I can continue swiping down through the content, until eventually I come to a timeline that's been arranged vertically inside a scrolling area. And I also have a graphic that's to scale, representing how far below the surface of the water the Titanic rests.
In the timeline I can read about major events from the sinking of the ship to the present, and on the left there is a button to jump to the top of the article, so I don't have to swipe a whole lot to get back there. On the next page, I have a series of four views of the wreck. I can tap on one of them and after it has finished loading, I can pinch and zoom to explore the photo in detail. And when I am finished, I can tap Done. I can swipe to the next feature, Dive the Titanic, which is an interactive 3D model of the wreck. I'll tap to launch it. And I can swipe to view the wreck from any side.
I'll tap Done. And I can go to the next feature, where I can slide out a map showing the location of the wreck. I can slide it back in, and I can tap the circle to see a photo mosaic of the wreck site. When it's done loading, I can zoom in and tap a label to read about a particular item. And in the top left, the navigator view tells me where I am in the overall map of the wreck.
I'll tap Done and swipe to the next feature, which is a video. I can tap to play it, and I have controls to rewind, fast-forward, and pause, and a progress bar that I can slide with my finger to scrub to a different spot in the video. I'll tap Done and swipe to the next feature, which is an introduction to the photo series Ghostwalking in Titanic.
I can swipe this article vertically and tap the top-right of the photo to make it nearly full screen, and then tap again to close it. National Geographic really went all out for the Titanic issue with several videos, panoramas, content and scrollable frames, photos that can be zoomed on, and more. Later in this series, we'll see how to create many of these types of interactive content for publication in an Adobe DPS project.

It's the myth that just won't go away. Almost everyone thinks they don't drink enough water, but the idea that we all should drink lots of it – eight glasses per day – is based on no scientific data whatsoever.
No one really knows where the eight-glasses idea comes from. Some blame the bottled water industry but plenty of doctors and health organisations have also promoted it over the decades. The source might be a 1945 recommendation by the US National Research Council (NRC) that adults should consume 1 millilitre of water for each calorie of food, which adds up to about 2.5 litres per day for men and 2 litres for women.
According to Barbara Rolls, a nutrition researcher at Penn State University and author of the 1984 book Thirst, this amount is about right for people ...

Census 2010: Gains and Losses in Congress
(Interactive) The Census Bureau rearranged the country's political map on Tuesday, giving more Congressional seats to the South and the West, and taking away from the Northeast and the Midwest. The state population counts are the first results released from the 2010 Census, and are used to reapportion seats in Congress, and, in turn, the Electoral College.
