Indie Megabooth will showcase 87 games at PAX East 2016
The Indie Megabooth has announced they'll provide space on the PAX East show floor for more than 80 developers during this year's convention.
The PAX East 2016 lineup includes 87 titles, and several of them have previously appeared in our twice-yearly Best of PAX roundup. This year's PAXpocalypse alumni include 20XX from Batterystaple Games (PAX East 2015), Refactor from NextGen Pants (PAX East 2014), Scale from Cubeheart Games (PAX Prime 2013), and Tumblestone from The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild (PAX East 2014 again). Graceful Explosion Machine, a semi-sequel to Vertex Pop's We Are Doomed (a PAX Prime 2013 selection) also has a spot in the Indie Megabooth's Minibooth this year.
Personally, I'm also a huge fan of single-stick shooter Deathstate and heady puzzler Gnog, so be sure to check those two out if you're attending this year's PAX East convention, which will be held April 22nd through the 24th.
A complete list of titles included in the PAX East 2016 Indie Megabooth is available after the break. And more information on every one of those games can be found at the group's official website. (more…)

Indie Megabooth announces massive PAX Prime 2015 presence
It's that time gain! Those beautiful, brilliant minds behind the Indie Megabooth have announced the PAX Prime 2015 lineup, and it certainly IS mega! I see a lot of personal favorites in there, including Armello, Death Road to Canada, Hyper Light Drifter, Mushroom 11, Cinelinx: A Card Game For People Who Love Movies, Pleasant Dreams, Skiptrace, and two games I can't keep my hands off of: Monikers and Mini Metro! And let's not forget that this might be your best chance to check out Funomena's Wattam!
If you're in Seattle the last weekend in August for PAX Prime, trust me: you do not want to miss the Indie Megabooth. These are traditionally some of the best games on the show floor, and I don't just say that because my own game (Resistor) has been part of the Tabletop Area. OK, maybe that might sway my opinion a little. But the team behind the IMB carefully curates some of the most amazing games, not just for your enjoyment, but as an installation of the best and brightest developers in indie gaming right now.
Enough of my gushing. Watch the trailer and hit the jump for the full list of developers and games (more than 70 in all)! (more…)
The PAXpocalypse List: The Best of PAX East 2015
Most of the big publishers chose to skip the 2015 edition of PAX East and even those that did attend (like Nintendo and Microsoft) kept their most anticipated projects home. But that didn't stop a wide variety of indie developers from setting up shop in the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center to wow the assembled masses. These developers set the tone for this year's expo, which featured a heavy focus on games that attempted to reinterpret classic gameplay concepts for a new generation of players. And the crazy thing is that many of the developers hyping these games looked like they would have been in diapers the first time I fired up an SNES.
It was a welcome sight with the rest of the industry pivoting away from those types of games and towards a competition to see who can push the most polygons. So if you were a fan of gaming in the NES, Super NES, and Genesis days, this PAXpocalypse List is for you. Because these are the games we would have played over and over again if some horrible snow storm had trapped us inside the convention center beyond the last day of the expo. (more…)

Calzones For No One: How Mayfair's Cones of Dunshire Kickstarter Campaign Flopped
As we reported in January, Mayfair Games, the publisher of Settlers of Catan, took to Kickstarter with the dream of making Cones of Dunshire, a fictional board game from the Parks & Recreation universe, into a real game. Fans of the NBC show and of intricate and/or confusing cooperative board games rejoiced. It seemed like an impossible task to raise $300,000 to create a deluxe version of the game… and it was. So Mayfair canceled their original campaign and relaunched it in early February with some adjustments, including a lowered project goal ($125,000) and reworked pledge levels and rewards. Even at the reduced levels, it still took at least $400 (and a dream!) to reserve a copy of the game. As before, additional goodies and enhancements to the game were available at higher pledge levels. For example, backers would receive the game at $400, but at $550 they would receive the game with metal "Hero Bases," and at $700 they would get the game with metal figures.
During the original campaign, pledges were slow to come in and it did not appear that Mayfair would meet its goal in the 60 days allotted. The second Kickstarter, which after a 30-day run ended on March 12th, fared no better. At its conclusion, Mayfair had raised $48,696 from 194 backers, only reaching 39% of its goal.
So how did it all go wrong? (more…)

Dragon Age: Inquisition wins "Game of the Year" at 2015 SXSW Gaming Awards
BioWare's Dragon Age: Inquisition won "Game of the Year" at the 2015 SXSW Gaming Awards, but 2014's other big releases walked away with the rest of the categories.
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor and The Last of Us: Left Behind were the only multi-award winners. Shadow of Mordor collected trophies for "Excellence in Gameplay," "Excellence in Animation," and "Excellence in Design and Direction," while Naughty Dog's expansion to The Last of Us was awarded with the "Most Valuable Add-On Content" trophy as well as "Most Valuable Character" (for Ellie).
The full list of winners (which also includes Destiny, Far Cry 4, Alien: Isolation, Transistor, Super Smash Bros. For Wii U, and many others) can be found after the break. (more…)

PAX East 2015 Indie Megabooth lineup has been announced
The people behind the Indie Megabooth have announced this year's PAX East 2015 lineup, which includes 79 games from 76 developers. The mazelike network of booths and carpet will feature a variety of eclectic games including previous PAXpocalypse selections such as Broforce (East 2014), Catlateral Damage (East 2014), Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (Prime 2013), Tumblestone (East 2014), and We Are Doomed (Prime 2013).
Trailers for every game are viewable at the Indie Megabooth official site and after taking in the short teasers, I'm sure a few other games will catch your fancy. I know I'm already planning to line up for Black Ice, a neon-coated beat 'em up/first person shooter; One More Line, a mobile game that feels like a Spider-Man simulator; and Titan Souls, a "Zeldalike" from Acidnerve.
In the interests of journalistic integrity, I'd also like to mention that Warp Zoned's own Nicole Kline and Anthony Amato have earned a spot in this year's Indie Megabooth Tabletop Area with their game, Resistor. I know I'm biased, but you should check it out.
You should also check out the complete list of games you'll find within the Indie Megabooth at PAX East 2015, which is available after the break. (more…)

Sleeping at wheel leads to car in treeSeptember 23,2013
STOCKBRIDGE A Randolph man was hospitalized with a shoulder injury over the weekend after the car he was driving drifted off a rain-slicked stretch of Route 107, plowed through a guardrail, and became airborne, before slamming roof-first into a tree.
State police said the bizarre accident occurred shortly after 11 p.m. on Saturday when 18-year-old Noah Markwood fell asleep at the wheel of his eastbound car while driving home. The car, a 2002 Subaru Impreza, went off the highway, breaking through a section of guardrail and launching into the air, police said.
While airborne, police said the car started to overturn and rotate, before the roof of the vehicle was crushed when it came into contact with a tree.
Markwood was transported by a crew from White River Valley Ambulance to Gifford Medical Center, where police said he was treated for a shoulder injury. The car was destroyed, they said.MORE IN This Just InSOUTH BURLINGTON While thinking about space exploration might be associated with Cape...

You keep good impressed by the street entrance, the reception, but rooms, are not so nice, Old carpet, small space, but, compfortable. Small bathroom, good breakfast, but could be mjnore complete. Adequate atention of employees.
Excellent location! Quiet and peaceful place among the craziness of downtown. Very comfortable room for breakfast or as a restaraunt. The rooms are comfortable even though the bathroom is a bit small. We had a great time here and we are going to come back some day in the nea future for sure.
My first stay in this hotel was Sept 2010 and again in Feb 2012. I noticed much improvement since then. Renewed bathroom and much better breakfast service, new linens. It is very conveniently located in downtown Rosario in a quiet street very close to shopping areas and with the river very closeby (short drive). Also they have free parking included....
I was in Rosario for two weeks with my familiy, enjoyed this great city and was very pleased to be a guest in the Hotel Rosario, where we felt like family. It's a warm and silent hotel, managed by kind people, not expensive, extremely comfortable. I am very pleased to recommend it!
This is a recommended hotel in the first edition of "Moon Argentina. It has a good location - only about a block from the cordoba peatonal - and is modern. It is primarily a business oriented hotel (there are almost no tourists in Rosario). Oddly, the hotel has two wings that are not connected , with separate check in facilities...
"The location is perfect!"

MUSKEGON, MI – In a preliminary vote Thursday, Dec. 12, the Muskegon County Jail and Juvenile Transition Center Committee voted to call its adult facility the Muskegon County Public Safety Building.
The name will still have to be approved by the Muskegon County Board of Commissioners at a January meeting, and it could still be changed after that.
"If we don't like it, and we want to change it," said Muskegon County Sheriff Dean Roesler, "we can revisit that."
The eight members of the committee present at the meeting took an anonymous vote on slips of paper. The results were:
- Four votes - Muskegon County Public Safety Building
- Two votes - Muskegon County Correctional Facility
- Two votes - Muskegon County Jail
- No votes - Muskegon County Adult Detention Center
A short discussion led up to the vote, with some members advocating for different names.
County Commissioner Rillastine Wilkins was in favor of "public safety building."
"We know that it's a building that is going to protect the public, but it doesn't have 'jail,' which is hard-core," she said.
County Commissioner Terry Sabo – who works as a firefighter in Muskegon Heights – didn't agree, saying it might be confusing since many police and fire stations are called public safety buildings.
"I don't really want to call our sheriff a public safety officer," Sabo said. "He's our sheriff."
Public Health-Muskegon County Director Kenneth Kraus favored a more general term because, he said, jail or corrections center doesn't describe people being held awaiting a trial or awaiting treatment for mental illness.
Ken Mahoney, chairman of the board of commissioners, agreed with Kraus.
"It's more than just detention going on (there)," he said after the meeting.
The county recently broke ground on the Juvenile Transition Center, and a separate groundbreaking event for the public safety building is tentatively set for next month, at 3 p.m. Jan. 7.
The construction of the buildings is financed by the sale of a $39 million bond. The debt will be paid off over roughly 20 years, with the money in the budget freed up by operating more efficient buildings, county officials have said.

I am looking to replace my Epson 8700 with a similar 3D equipped model. I'm going to stay away from Epson because I had a bad experience with my 8700 and the customer service from Epson. The most obvious model for me right now would be the Panny 8000, but I don't like what i'm reading about the 3D. It seems like alot of people are having problems. It's the same with the Epson 5020. I do need a PJ that has extreme lens shift because of my problem setup. I was going to upgrade to one of the current models but if I can get a few months or so out of my refurbished Epson 8700 (Wich might not be that likely), I'd rather wait until new models with improved 3D come out. Does anyone know if any of the projector companies (namely Panasonic) are going to release new 3d Projectors any time soon?

JUCONTEE THOMAS Woewiyu, a Liberian native and Delaware County man, is an alleged war criminal who played a key role in a military organization that tortured perceived enemies, killed peacekeepers and raped girls in his home country, according to the U.S. government.
And he was a former member of ex-Liberian President Charles Taylor's government.
The U.S. Attorney's Office yesterday announced the unsealing of an indictment against Woewiyu, 68, of Collingdale.
It alleges that he lied on his 2006 application to become a naturalized U.S. citizen and in a 2009 interview with an immigration officer. He claimed that he never advocated the overthrow of any government, never persecuted anyone because of his or her political opinion or social group and also failed to disclose his membership in the military group.

Darksiders Ships for PC
Uros "Vader" Pavlovic
02:26 am EDT @ September 24th, 2010
PC gamers now have a chance to experience Vigil Games action adventure, Darksiders: Wrath of War (which we have reviewed back in January 2010 for the Xbox 360). The PC version of the game has now shipped to stores, with Vigil Games claiming they have re-engineered the game from the ground up to deliver the same great action as the console games, "while taking advantage of keyboard and mouse controls."
Travis Plane, Vice President of Global Brand Management commented, "It is important that the PC audience get to experience the same great product as the console audience so we pulled out all the stops to optimize this version. If you didn't previously buy the console version now is the perfect opportunity to try Darksiders for yourself."
*Note: The console versions are called Darksiders: Wrath of War, while the PC edition was names simply "Darksiders."

A lot of people are reporting issues with using the keyboard+mouse, the game doesn't support any anti-aliasing, and many resolutions are unavailable.
I can't personally comment on the control issues (I'm using a 360 controller... something every wise PC gamer should have these days, btw), but the aliasing is severe and very noticeable, and the config files for the game can't be opened up and edited to include more resolutions.
edit: I'm gonna try renaming the game's executable file to see if I can get anti-aliasing. Sometimes that works, like with Singularity.
edit 2: Unfortunately, Darksiders uses its own unique graphics engine, so that won't work. Renaming the .exe to "UT3" enabled anti-aliasing with Catalyst AI turned on, but also turned everything in the game transparent.
nVidia users might or might not be able to use nHancer to force on anti-aliasing at major performance cost, but ATI users are probably just boned.

This uplifting combination of Ginger and Tulsi including Rama, Krishna and Vana stimulates the senses, providing an exciting yet relaxing blend. This exotic flavor combination will not only bring transformative energy and calm, but is great for digestion.
You will need a "tea basket" that inserts into a cup, a "tea ball" or an individual empty "tea bag." Place a tablespoon of Tulsi tea leaves into the tea basket, ball or tea bag, and place in your favorite mug. Bring clean fresh water to boil, and pour boiling water over Tulsi tea leaves in your cup. Cover and let steep for 5 - 10 minutes. Remove tea basket, ball or bag, and enjoy. Use more tea leaves for a stronger flavor and less for a milder flavor, as per your taste. Please note: The stronger the tea, the more potent the benefits.
Use one full tablespoon of tea per cup. Place the tea leaves in your teapot, and pour fresh boiling water over the tea leaves. Let the tea steep for 5 - 10 minutes, and pour through a small strainer directly into the cup. Use more tea for a stronger flavor and less for a milder flavor, as per your taste. Please note: The stronger the tea, the more potent the benefits.
Pour 2 cups of boiling water over 8 teaspoons of tea, cover and add sweetener if desired. Infuse for 20 minutes. Strain and add 2 cups of cold water, and refrigerate. Pour over ice to serve.
Do not use if pregnant or nursing without consulting a physician

I have been using Tulsi Ginger tea for years and it does all its' claimed to do. Can't go a day without it. For better health.
Posted by Michelle on 6th Jun 2015
I love the taste of ORGANIC INDIA Tulsi Ginger Tea, it has an exotic bitting taste to it. It has a heating quality to it that never dissatisfies. The aroma is very delightful to my senses. Being caffeine-free makes it an enjoyable delight day or night!

an inspired combo : Tulsi and Ginger Tea...Love it !!
Posted by Unknown on 15th Nov 2014
This is the first time I have tried this kind of tea. It is a very strong tea. 1/2 teaspoon should do the trick for a cup of tea which would be good for at least a couple steeps. It has a strong aroma with the ginger added in. It also is a tea that makes me sleepy so it is good for the evening and not for driving. It is very well priced as it will take a long time to use the 1 pound bag.
Thanks Organic India. Jerry

NOTE: The following is a guest post from Craig McQueen. If you want to submit your own guest post, click here for more information.

If you have Enterprise customers you probably deliver services to them. It may be in support of a product you sell or you may strictly be a services firm.
Usually service engagements start off as custom pieces of work. Creating a statement of work defines what will be done and an estimate of the labour required is provided along with an hourly rate. After a few service engagements with customers you likely notice common activities in the work. When you see these, you have an opportunity to productize your service.
What does it mean to productize a service?
It means to define an offering with a set of repeatable activities and deliverables that address a common business problem of your customers.
Why would you productize your services?
- It is easier to sell a defined offering that contains specific activities and deliverables rather than custom statements of work
- Standardized delivery means it is easier to train your staff
- Delivery is more efficient since the framework is already defined
- Each time the offering is delivered it gets better through learnings
- It strengthens the credibility of your organization as experts in your field
An Example
The company I work for has a specialty in implementing Microsoft Project Server. Virtually every client needs dashboards and reports that show project delivery and resource status. We have implemented many of these over the years and found that the key metrics for delivering projects are similar between companies. Based on our implementation experience and industry standards we have defined and now consistently deliver a standard, repeatable service to define and deliver Project Dashboards for organizations.
Other productization opportunities
Although this example is specific to a specific business function (Project Management), there are common themes of offerings that exist across business functions. Some common offering themes that you can consider for your company include:
- Maturity assessment – Based on your understanding of your industry, investigate and compare your customer along different business functions.
- Business case preparation – Uncover the inefficiencies in an organization that could be addressed with a solution.
- Roadmap – Define a multi-year timeline with key benefits and milestones along a business line or functional area.
Remember these rules
Once you have a general idea of the service you want to productize, consider the following tips when working out the details:
- Fix price the offering. When someone buys a product, they need to know the exact price up front. Even if you are intending to have the offering as a free value-add to a larger purchase – putting a price on it demonstrates the value the customer is getting.
- Constrain the timeline. With a fixed price you want to constrain the timeline so your costs don't blow up. Be crystal clear which activities occur during the engagement. Identify key milestones and deliverables.
- Base it on previous experience. If you don't yet have customer experience delivering the service you want to productize, do a trial run with your internal organization or a trusted partner.
- Be clear about the benefits to the customer. Document the value proposition of the offering directed at helping customers understand the
- Specify what you expect from the customer. Indicate who will participate in the offering, how much time is required from them and the types of activities.
- Build supporting documentation. Items such as delivery guides and samples reports help the customer see that you have real intellectual property baked into the offering rather than using them as a guinea pig.
As you productize your service, keep your objective in mind. Will the service be a revenue generator or will it be tool to open doors with customers with the intention of a larger follow-on sale? Depending on the goal, you may market it differently.
Have a look at the types of services you are delivering to your customers today. Pick the most common one to start and apply these rules to productize it.

I shoot with models because I want to create art.
I want to do shoots with models that want to create something they haven't done before. Challenge me.
If you are interested in doing a shoot I will consider it depending on the model and the Idea.
Being late for a shoot and canceling a shoot less then 48 hours shows signs of immaturity. I'm a professional I have never been late for work in 23 years and never called up work and said I can't make it today. If you do either I will not book you again.

Support Migdal Ohr by purchasing letters in the Torah Scroll that will be written in honor of Rabbi Grossman's 70th Birthday.

When Rabbi Berel Wein began working for the O.U. kashrus division, he shared an office with Rabbi Alexander Rosenberg a'h, the founder of the kashrus division and its administrator for thirty years.

More than 1500 people died on the Titanic. As a result of the tragedy, out of date conventions and procedures were changed, navigational mistakes were identified and corrected, and the threat of ice was taken seriously—even in the era of modern ships. Walter Lord, in his seminal book on the disaster, A Night to Remember (1955), wrote: "Never again would men fling a ship into an ice field, heedless of warnings, putting their whole trust in a few thousand tons of steel and rivets. From then on Atlantic liners took ice messages seriously, steered clear, or slowed down. Nobody believed in the 'unsinkable ship.'

The commentators discuss the meaning and implications of the "strange fire" brought as an offering by Nadav and Avihu. In his discussion of this perplexing passage, Rabbi Avigdor Miller, zt"l, discusses their early demise and observes that their death served a greater purpose (through the sadness that ensued) and that despite receiving a divine death penalty, the Torah regards them as great people.

"Tell Bnei Yisrael, "These are the creatures you should eat." – Vayikrah 11:2 Chovos Halevovos (Sha'ar Avodas Elokim 3) explains that Hashem created man out of two very distinct parts – a nefesh haschili (intellectual soul) and a nefesh habahami (animal soul). Each has its desires and inclinations, and each is competing with the other, […]

Why was spontaneity wrong for Nadav and Avihu, yet right for Moshe Rabbeinu? The answer is that Nadav and Avihu were kohanim, priests. Moses was a navi, a prophet. These are two different forms of religious leadership. They involve different tasks and different sensibilities, indeed different approaches to time itself.

In this week's parshah the Torah teaches us which animals are kosher to eat and which are not. The Torah says that the pig, although it has split hooves, is not kosher since it does not chew its cud. The medrash on this pasuk says that the reason that the pig is called "chazir" is because in the future Hashem will return (lehachzir) the pig to Bnei Yisrael and permit it to be eaten.

Historically, one of man's greatest shortcomings has been taking credit for Hashem's work. Only too often does a man find success and, in his arrogance, feel his power and his might created his empire. The Torah warns us, Remember: it was Hashem who brought all this to be.

On April 14, 1912, at 11:40 p.m., the Titanic struck an iceberg. It sank at 2:20 a.m. on April 15. Thus, this month (both according to the Jewish and secular calendars) marks the centennial of the disaster. Despite the passage of time, the tragedy still fascinates people and continues to be a source of lessons learned - both good and bad.

The miraculous splitting of the Sea of Reeds was one of the pinnacles of Israel's closeness to Hashem. It raises a question, though: Why? Hashem typically hides His presence somewhat, conducting the world in a discrete way and never revealing His presence so openly. As Rabbi Avigdor Miller, zt"l, explains, this spectacle on the Sea of Reeds was performed with two great purposes in mind.

In order to fulfill one's obligation in the mitzvah of matzah, one must eat a k'zayis amount of matzah. This is because the Torah uses the wording of achilah (eating) when it commands the mitzvah of matzah.

An act never dies. Each word you utter, each mitzvah you do, continues to ring in the world for all eternity. Rabbi Avigdor Miller, zt"l, teaches it was such an eternal act that was the undoing of Pharaoh and the making of Israel as a nation of holy people.
Posted on: April 5th, 2012Judaism → Parsha
After months and months of rebellion, Pharaoh finally admitted he was wrong. The Dos Zakainim explains that the plague of barad moved Pharaoh more than any other. And it was because of one factor: Moshe had warned him that the hail would kill anything living. Again and again, Moshe cautioned Pharaoh to take his livestock and his slaves inside. Because Pharaoh was repeatedly warned to save the living creatures, he was moved and recognized his error.

The Gemara in Pesachim 115a says that there was a machlokes regarding how one was supposed to eat matzah and marror in the times of the Beis HaMikdash. Hillel said that during those times, when there was a korban Pesach, matzah and marror should be eaten together. His peers argued that they must be eaten separately. The Gemara concludes that since the halacha was not paskened we eat matzah separately, then marror separately, and then both together to accommodate both opinions.

After a long and detailed description of the avodah (service) to be done in the Mishkan, the parshah ends with statement that "Aaron and his sons did as they were told."

The evil inclination likes to tempt us to indulge in material delights. It is important to know that these delights may have another purpose, too: kedushah (holiness).
Posted on: March 28th, 2012Judaism → Parsha
In this week's parshah the Torah teaches many of the halachos of the korbanos. Each of the korbanos has a limited amount of time when they may be eaten, after which they become nosar and forbidden.

In her book The Watchman's Rattle, subtitled Thinking Our Way Out of Extinction, Rebecca Costa delivers a fascinating account of how civilizations die. Their problems become too complex. Societies reach what she calls a cognitive threshold. They simply can't chart a path from the present to the future.

"At the time that my wife and I made aliyah, the Ministry of Interior required certification through the chief rabbinate that any new immigrants were Jews in order to qualify for citizenship and immigrant benefits. After an hour-long wait at the ministry to be interviewed, my wife and I sat before a hard-faced clerk. I did not have a letter from a rabbi certifying to my Jewishness, but I felt confident that since I was on the chief rabbinate's list of approved rabbis whose letter would be accepted to verify the Jewishness of others, I would suffer no problem.

To the modern mind, korbanos may seem foreign or hard to understand. Yet they were a key component of the service of Hashem. Rabbi Avigdor Miller, zt"l, explains that offerings served many purposes, including a primary purpose of expressing thanks to Hashem. Thus, following the book of Exodus comes the book dealing with sacrifices as an expression of thanks for the deliverance from slavery in Egypt.
Posted on: March 22nd, 2012Judaism → Parsha
The Dos Zakainim explains that the reason every korban must be brought with salt is to remind us that just as salt is a preservative that allows food to last longer, so too the sacrifices are permanently ours to cleanse us from our sins.

Lawyers from the University of Idaho's Legal Aid Clinic represent the Syringa residents in a civil suit against property owner Magar E. Magar. They spoke at a Poverty on the Palouse forum Wednesday, explaining that a Latah County judge ordered a preliminary injunction in the case earlier this week. It requires Magar to fix the water system so it complies with state regulations, provide bottled water to residents until the system is fixed, and allow for independent testing of the water.
"What we wanted to do, and what we're asking to do is say, 'Enough is enough,' said U of I College of Law Director of Clinical Programs, Maureen Laflin. "Let's look at systemically, what is causing there to be fecal matter in the water.'"
In December, Idaho's DEQ notified Syringa Mobile Home Park residents that the water wasn't safe to drink because of unsafe levels of lead, chlorine, and coliform bacteria that comes from fecal matter.
Last week, the SEQ lifted the ban on drinking water, but said the system is still out of compliance with the state's standards.

Flora census
The 2015 Census of the Queensland Flora provides a published list of all the known native and naturalised species of plants, algae, fungi and lichens in the state.
Our flora now has 14,229 known native species across all groups. That's nearly double the number listed in 1913 (7,781 species), and a further 55 species since the last census in 2014. More than 50 species new to science are discovered in Queensland each year.
Separate listings of the naturalised and doubtfully-naturalised flora are also presented for the use of weed officers. Species only present in cultivation are not included in any of the census lists. A full data set of native and naturalised species is included for the first time.
The current list is generated from the Queensland Herbarium specimen label information database as of 1 September 2015. These records are primarily based on the Queensland Herbarium specimen collections representing 240 years of verified specimen data.
2015 data
This census data are available through the Open Data website and presented in spreadsheets for:
- vascular plants—flowering plants, conifers, cycads, ferns and fern allies, including native and naturalised species
- non-vascular plants—mosses, liverworts, hornworts
- algae—green and red algae, brown algae and diatoms (Chromista)
- bacteria—Cyanobacteria only, formerly called blue-green algae
- fungi—including macrofungi and lichens
- current and former naturalised species, and doubtfully-naturalised species
- vascular plants—hyperlinked to JSTOR images of Type specimens where available (new).
More information on the classification of these groups is available in the census introduction (PDF, 708KB).
Contact us if you require a print version of any of the census lists.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - Not long after the Phillies had been eliminated from the postseason by the soon-to-be-champion Giants, a man in a business suit approached Jayson Werth outside a conference room at Citizens Bank Park.
The man, an upper-level member of the organization's business department, extended a hand and spent a few moments extolling the rightfielder's career with the club. It's been a pleasure watching you play the last few years, he said, watching you perform, watching you develop, watching you thrive. And, he continued, best of luck in whatever happens next.
This was not an executive with any sort of say in personnel matters, nor with a front-row seat to the types of negotiations that occur when a player such as Werth reaches free agency.

Treatment of Acromioclavicular joint arthrosis
Acromioclavicular (AC) joint arthrosis is a common degenerative disorder that can lead to pain and difficulty during everyday use of the shoulder. The acromion is the part of the scapula that makes up the roof of the shoulder; it connects with the clavicle at the AC joint. In this condition, there is a weak attachment at this joint, causing grinding and pain. In addition, the AC joint is particularly prone to the development of osteoarthritis during middle age. This condition contributes to its onset.
How does the acromioclavicular joint arthrosis develop?
The AC joint can be injured in a fall or by a hyperextension of the shoulder. Also, activities such as weightlifting, which place excess stress on the joint in a difficult overhead position, can lead to AC joint arthrosis. Young weightlifters are particularly susceptible. Degeneration of the condition can lead to intensified pain even years after the injury has "healed."
What are the symptoms of acromioclavicular joint arthrosis?
During the early stages, AC joint arthrosis usually manifests itself with tenderness and pain in the front of the shoulder around the joint. The pain gets worse when the arm is extended across the chest as this motion compresses the joint, or when lifting. A vague pain may be felt in the shoulder, the neck and the front of the chest. The affected joint may also be disproportionate to the uninjured joint, and may snap or click when used.
Traditional pain management for AC joint arthritis and arthrosis
The usual treatment for this injury is a figure-eight splint to keep the joint immobile while the healing process occurs. While the initial immobilization may relieve pain, weakening of the ligaments will occur if the immobilization continues indefinitely. Physical therapy and an exercise program may restore strength and function to the shoulder, but the injured ligaments may continue to grind, pop, click and cause pain, especially with overhead activities and when reaching across the chest. Because these activities put strain on the ligaments, the surrounding muscles may go into spasm and become chronically painful, inhibiting the ability of the patient, often an athlete, from using the shoulder normally. The result? The modern medicine approach does not do anything to repair the deteriorated cartilage in the shoulder and, thus, does not alleviate the chronic pain that people with this condition experience.
Another standard practice of modern medicine is to inject steroids into the shoulder or to prescribe anti-inflammatory medications. However, in the long run, these treatments do more damage than good. Cortisone shots and anti-inflammatory drugs have been shown to produce short-term pain benefit, but both result in long-term loss of function and even more chronic pain by actually inhibiting the healing process of soft tissues and accelerating cartilage degeneration. This is often the case in patients who have had numerous cortisone shots by an orthopedic surgeon and told that eventually they will need a shoulder replacement surgery. However, in our experience, this type of surgery is avoidable. For patients who have already been through any type of shoulder surgery and still having pain or instability symptoms, a consultation outside of a surgeon's office needs to be considered, particularly with a Prolotherapy specialist. Based on physical exam and reports such as X-ray, MRI, or ultrasound, a Prolotherapy specailist can determine if you are a good candidate for Prolotherapy, the best solution to use for the treatment (such as Stem Cell therapy, dextrose, PRP, etc..), as well as the estimated number of treatments needed to get you back to where you want to be.
A better treatment for acromioclavicular joint pain: Prolotherapy
Comprehensive dextrose Prolotherapy and a rehabilitation program can strengthen the ligaments and dynamic shoulder stabilizers (rotator cuff muscles). Chronic pain is most commonly due to tendon and ligament weakness or cartilage deterioration, as is the case in acromioclavicular joint syndrome. Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection treatment, which is what degenerated structures need. In our office, the shoulder is one of the most common areas we treat. In addition, we have published scientific articles and studies on our results, this includes shoulder pain, glenoid labrum tears, arthritis and more. You can see all of our studies at AboutProlotherapy.com.

A weakened Bashir:
The vote was pushed over the past six months by longtime U.S. Africa diplomat Princeton Lyman and U.S. Sen. John Kerry, who in part cajoled the central government in the northern city of Khartoum. In a letter to the government, President Barack Obama wrote that if Khartoum let the referendum proceed peacefully and on time, the U.S. would consider removing Sudan from its list of terrorism sponsors.
BENTIU, Sudan—This week's independence referendum in southern Sudan marks an apparent victory for U.S. foreign policy in east Africa—one that has secured for Washington a deeper advisory role in what is expected to be the birth of a new, impoverished nation.
As southern Sudanese cast votes through Saturday on whether to separate from Sudan's north, they are expected to choose independence overwhelmingly. Southern officials said Wednesday that turnout for the referendum—the culmination of decades of civil wars between the mostly Christian south and predominantly Muslim north that has left millions dead and millions more displaced—had reached the 60% threshold required to validate the results.
|Gen. Scott Gration, U.S. envoy to Sudan, speaks Wednesday with southern Sudan Vice President Riek Machar.
A key player in this effort is retired Air Force Gen. Scott Gration, the U.S. special envoy to Sudan. In pressing for the vote, he came under criticism for negotiating with the administration of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, a northerner indicted for war crimes and under U.S. sanctions.
Now the top U.S. diplomat on Sudan is at the center of the U.S.'s next challenge here—assisting in the delicate process of helping to secure what many hope will be a lasting peace among two sides entangled by oil disputes, territorial disagreements and decades of violence.
Sudan is a top U.S. foreign-policy priority in Africa, seen as a bulwark in a volatile east and central Africa beset by terror threats and rebel groups. Should Sudan return to conflict, it could cost thousands of lives, set back the region's nascent economic progress and cost as much as $100 billion over a decade in peacekeeping efforts and regional economic losses, estimates Frontier Economics, a London-based research firm.
Even if the south secedes as expected, the north and south must still decide on how to share oil revenues. Production and concessions in the oil-rich south have long been controlled by the north, and it will take time before the south is able to assume control of the business or open its doors to Western companies.
An independent south Sudan would depend on U.S. and other Western support to build its infrastructure, which is now almost nonexistent. Other unresolved issues include ethnic divisions within the south's own territory as well as the fate of Abyei, a region disputed between north and south where territorial clashes between rival ethnic groups broke out this week.
The distance left to cover was clear during a visit this week by Gen. Gration to Bentiu, a dusty regional capital alongside a sleepy river.
Taban Deng, the local governor, sat alongside Gen. Gration in the shade of an old tree, away from the sweltering heat and the town's mud-and-stick huts and metal-shack shops. When, the governor wanted to know, would the diplomat bring American investors to town?
"You need to have security, infrastructure, first," Gen. Gration said, adding: "And swimming pools—Americans love swimming pools."
The governor laughed. But his question underscored the expectations southerners have placed on the U.S. amid its larger role as a mediator and adviser. The south still struggles to provide basic services for its people—about 90% live on less than $1 a day. For now, much of the government budget is spent on salaries and equipment for its security forces, which it views as essential to keeping the peace.
A referendum over the fate of south Sudan was a condition of a peace agreement brokered in 2005 to end the last civil war between the north and south. Many in south Sudan were skeptical that it would ever be held.
"When I took this job, very few people thought we'd have an opportunity to have a referendum on time," said Gen. Gration, a former fighter pilot who is the son of missionaries to Africa.
"I'm not saying I did it—I don't think that I did," Gen. Gration said in a conversation aboard a charter plane as it flew over vast, unpopulated stretches of southern Sudan, a region slightly larger than Texas. "But the Obama administration's approach has yielded some positive results."
The vote was pushed over the past six months by longtime U.S. Africa diplomat Princeton Lyman and U.S. Sen. John Kerry, who in part cajoled the central government in the northern city of Khartoum. In a letter to the government, President Barack Obama wrote that if Khartoum let the referendum proceed peacefully and on time, the U.S. would consider removing Sudan from its list of terrorism sponsors.
Gen. Gration has been criticized by groups like the Enough Project, an antigenocide group that focuses mainly on the Darfur region in western Sudan. These people have said he has been too soft on Mr. Bashir's regime, which has been for decades accused of committing atrocities against civilians. Within the administration, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice also favored a more forceful approach to Khartoum.
John Prendergast, an Enough Project founder, credited Mr. Obama's leadership and the southern government's determination. The cajoling of Mr. Bashir's representatives by Gen. Gration and others, he adds, was "important" but less significant than the efforts from other players.
Gen. Gration said talks with the north have been essential to advancing the peace process. Mr. Bashir "is the president of the sovereign nation where we work," he said. "There's no question he's calling the shots. Obviously, there are things we don't like. But we work with what we like, and try to influence change with what's not acceptable."
Southern officials haven't always all welcomed Gen. Gration's outreach to Khartoum. But on Monday, Riek Machar, the charismatic vice president of southern Sudan, said he approved of the U.S. efforts.
Now that the referendum is out of the way, Mr. Machar said it would be easier for the south and north to resolve outstanding issues—Abyei, he said, being the priority. "This time we will devote our time to it more," he said, speaking from a plastic chair set out in the shade near his home. "We have this issue to address squarely, without trying to get trade-offs."

Reporter Rachel Dubrovin gives us a peek inside Gritman's Would Healing Center to show us what kind of technology they're using to treat people on the Palouse.
"This is going to be the new, hip thing," said Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Technician Keith Rector. "Everyone's going to want to do it just because it's, I don't know, it's super easy. It's easy to use."
Gritman Medical Center recently started treating wounds with oxygen.
"The person goes inside, the gurney slides in on some rails," said Rector.
This modality is called a Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber.
"It pressurizes the person to greater than one atmosphere," said Rector. "We're at one atmosphere right now, at all times. So it can go to two, or two and a half, or even three atmospheres."
Keith Rector is Gritman's Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Technician, and he said it's all about pumping the body full of oxygen to fight off illness.
"You breathe it in through your lungs, and it gets carried through your red blood cells and plasma," said Rector. "And carries it throughout your body and actually helps create new cells and blood vessels."
Rector says it's not a painful procedure, but patients may feel pressure in their ears, similar to being on an airplane.
"Other than that, just sit back and relax," said Rector. "There's even a TV mounted."
This type of technology has been around since the 1800's, but this is the first chamber to be installed on the Palouse. It can help with things like chronic wounds... bone and tissue damage, and even prevent amputations.
"Every day, about four people a day right now," said Rector.
Gritman's CEO Kara Besst said it's the hospital's way of responding to feedback from the community.
"There has been a tremendous need," said Besst. "We have a lot of patients coming through here, very pleased with the service we're offering. And the expectations of the visits is higher than we were anticipating."
Gritman might get another one of these chambers in the near future because the treatment is gaining popularity. Clarkston's Tri-State Memorial Hospital also offers Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy.

People always ask me to name my favorite bars in Philly. But because I live in East Philly (AKA Camden) I don't have an urban neighborhood bar to default to and I find myself jumping around a lot instead of repeat visiting. But there is one bar that I end up at more than most and that's Barcade.
A few years ago, I told someone I lived on Frankford Avenue in Fishtown. Their response was to grill me on the status of then newly opened Barcade.
"I mean, what kind of bar is it?"
"I don't know," I said. "A bar with arcade games."
"Yeah, but like… who goes there?"
"But what kind of people?"
"I don't know. People who like arcade games?"
"Yeah, but like… hipsters?"
Yesterday Curbed Philly had an item breaking down and explicating New York imports that have made it here and those that haven't. Sandy Smith touched on this in a column for PhillyMag.com about the Brooklyn Flea's departure, which he attributes, in part, to its NYC branding. Those transplants that haven't flaunted their New York-ness do better, Smith said.
Here's what Curbed's Tishon Woolcock had to say:
Brooklyn Flea/FAIL: "Has anyone mentioned the fact that Philly already has great flea markets and thrift shops?"
3rd Ward/FAIL: "Reportedly, mismanagement – more than a move to Philly – was responsible for 3rd Ward's undoing"
Shake Shack/SUCCESS: "Philly has little beef with the chain's arrival"
Barcade/SUCCESS: "The friendly staff, inviting decor, plus games and craft beer make Barcade an excellent addition to the city's bar scene."
Fette Sau/SUCCESS: "A year in, the brisket is still selling by the pound."

Microwave Strawberry Jam
Total Time
Prep 40 mins
Cook 0 mins
Doesn't use pectin. Have yet to try this.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 500 g strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 2 cups caster sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Combine all ingredients in a medium microwave-proof bowl. Stir well and stand 5 minutes for juices to start to run from strawberries.
- Microwave, uncovered on medium heat (50 percent) for 4 minutes, stirring half way through cooking time to dissolve sugar. Make sure all the sugar crystals are dissolved at this stage. You may need to brush side of bowl with a water dipped brush.
- Once sugar is dissolved, cook jam on high (100 percent) uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring after every 2 minutes or until jam reaches setting consistency.
- To test whether the jam has reached setting point, drop a small spoonful onto a cold saucer and cool to room temperature before testing. The jam should wrinkle slightly when you push it with your finger. At this point the jam can be transferred to warm sterilised jars and left to cool before sealing tightly.
Most Helpful
This was the first time I made jam in the microwave and I must admit I prefer stirring on a stove but the jam came out perfectly. Jam from fresh strawberries is absolutely delicious.
this recipe is good, but you can add 3/4 sugar instead for more taste of berries instead of sugar.

Global Investment is Important to the American Economy
Posted on August 2, 2013
Since I was confirmed as Secretary of Commerce, I've been meeting with business leaders, entrepreneurs, and foreign leaders to let them know that America is "open for business." The United States is one of the most desirable places to do business; our $16 trillion economy, with its productive workforce and diverse consumer base, could not do what it does without domestic as well as foreign investment. Yesterday, I participated in the White House Forum (Forum) on Global Investment to highlight the administration's support for, and benefits of, foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United States.
For the meeting, I was joined by Acting Deputy Secretary of Commerce Pat Gallagher, Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade Francisco Sánchez, Assistant Secretary of State for Economic and Business Affairs Jose Fernandez, and 21 foreign ambassadors and representatives to highlight the United States' whole-of-government approach to attracting foreign direct investment.
A One-Stop-Shop on the Health Care Law for Businesses Big and Small
Created on August 1, 2013
Cross-posted from the White House Blog by Valerie Jarrett
As we implement the Affordable Care Act, we continue listening to the needs of the business community. Based on our many conversations with leaders of our nation's businesses, large and small, today we are launching Business.USA.gov/healthcare, a one-stop-shop where employers of all sizes can go for information on the Affordable Care Act.
The new site includes a web-based tool that allows employers to get tailored information on how the health law may affect them based on their business' size, location, and plans for offering health benefits to their workers next year. From tax credits for small businesses to help make coverage affordable, to measures to help slow the growth of health care costs, there are a variety of ways that the Affordable Care Act can help businesses expand health care coverage and compete.
The site leverages the resources of our partners across the federal government to ensure that business owners get comprehensive health care information and easy-to-use tools, such as a timeline of key implementation dates; information about the SHOP Marketplaces and small business tax credits; and resources to help calculate a firm's number of full-time equivalent employees or determine if the coverage they already offer meets the law's minimum value standards.
The administration is working with the employer community to ensure the site continues to be a helpful resource for businesses and their employees, including updating the site with additional, timely information, so stay tuned.
