How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. English poet Elizabeth Barrett wrote these lines about her blossoming love for fellow wordsmith (and future husband) Robert Browning, but they could just as easily been written about chocolate. No other confection induces such swooning and coos of delight, whether it's in the form of exquisite truffles and rich bars or wickedly sippable martinis and spa treatments.
Our affection for chocolate runs deep, surviving carb-centric diets and sugar-bashing zealots. It's a love affair that shows no signs of losing its sizzle. In fact, chocolate is hotter than ever. How hot? Let us count the ways travel-minded souls can feed their passion.
Local heroes
Most cities across Canada can boast at least one local beloved chocolatier. In Saskatoon, it's Harden & Huyse (www.great-chocolate.com). In Hamilton, it's Walker's Chocolates (www.walkerschocolates.ca). In Ottawa, it's shops like Truffle Treasures (at 348A Richmond Rd.) and Stubbe Chocolates (375 Dalhousie Ave.) that make us drool.
Out West, Calgary gets credit for discovery the talents of Bernard Callebaut, a Belgian immigrant who started making chocolates in his new hometown in 1982. Now, he has locations across Canada and the United States (see www.bernardcallebaut.com). There's no better poster boy for chocolate lovers than Callebaut. He boasts that he eats at least six chocolates a day.
On the East Coast, nowhere is as enthusiastic about chocolate as St. Stephen, N. B. In 2000, it registered itself as "Canada's chocolate town." Local company Ganong (www.ganong.com) has been creating lovely nuggets of sugary goodness there since the late 1800s. To pay homage to its long history and milestones (like creating the first ever heart-shaped chocolate box), it opened a museum in June 1999. Kids love the interactive computer displays and hands-on exhibits, as well as the chocolate demonstrations. Adding credence to St. Stephen's chocolate town proclamation is an annual chocolate festival, the second week of August. Not only is the Ganong factory open for tours only during this event, you also get to see lots of youngsters smeared all over with chocolate during some of the all-you-can-eat contests. Now, that's entertainment (as long as you're not the one who's doing the laundry).
Chocolate meccas
The Yankee big brother to St. Stephen is Hershey, Pennsylvania (www.hersheypa.com). No explanation needed here as to what the chocolate connection is -- the Hershey-Kisses-shaped streetlights confirm it. Milton Hershey built the city on a mound of sugar and cocoa. In 1900, he sold his caramel business and dipped into the chocolate business by creating the Hershey chocolate bar.
Taking a guided trolley tour through the town is a worthwhile, and tasty, experience. You see just how sweet Hershey really was. He built many schools, hospitals, churches and parks and provided housing for orphans. The best part is the samples passed around as the tale of Hershey's rise to candy czar unfolds en route. The last stop lets you out at Chocolate World, where you can buy and eat chocolate until your teeth ache and go on interactive chocolate-themed rides.
But why stop there? You can stay at The Hotel Hershey; eat more chocolate in Hershey restaurants and then collapse under the weight of it all at the Hershey Spa. Try treatments such as the Peppermint Pattie (a peppermint salt scrub followed by a chocolate fondue wrap), or the Whipped Chocolate Bath, where you can experience what it feels like to be a swizzle stick in a frothy drink.
Closer to home, take a 45-minute drive to Smith Falls, and check out the Canadian spin-off of Hershey (hersheys.com/discover/smithsfalls.asp). You can see the plant in action from the elevated viewing area (free), or buy super fresh Hershey products (not free). For more, see Daytripping, page L3.
But no one knows how to make chocolate quite like the Swiss, Germans and Belgians:
- In Cologne, Germany, the mod-looking steel-and-glass Imhoff-Stollwerck Museum on the Rhine River (schokoladenmuseum.de) marks a new sugar high for chocolate aficionados. Interactive displays and a simulated rainforest make you feel the heat endured by cocoa pods in the wild. The chocolate fountain is something to behold; as a treat, a wafer is dipped in and handed to you as you pass by.
- In lovely medieval Bruges, Belgium, a chocolate museum (www.choco-story.be) tells you everything you wanted to know and more about chocolate making and its history, plus a few savvy tips, too (for example, don't refrigerate your chocolate because it alters the taste). Do buy some of the locally made goodies. Chocolatier Marie de Bruges creates beautiful chocolate swans. The birds are a symbol of the city, tied to Maximilian of Austria, who once ordered the people of Bruges to keep swans on its lakes and canals forever.
- In Geneva, at After The Rain spa, you can get smeared in chocolate at the hands of a stranger during a chocolate body wrap or a chocolate bath with real grated chocolate and cocoa butter
(www.aftertherain.ch). If all this fans your passion for chocolate, pick up the local fave -- chocolate "garbage cans" (aka les poubelles de Geneve) filled with truffle-like filling from Chocolats Rohr (www.rohr.ch).
Child's play
- At a young age, children can learn the higher art of chocolate making and appreciation. Miss Chocolat in Gatineau's Hull sector (www.misschocolat.com; 173 Promenades du Portage) holds interactive workshops ($10) for little ones about how chocolate is made.
- If you've got more time to devote, head to Birmingham, England, to Cadbury World (www.cadburyworld.co.uk). It's a theme park with an educational bent, with history and geography classes on the beginnings of Cadbury and the path of chocolate from South America to Spain.
- The Roald Dahl Museum (www.roalddahlmuseum.org), also in the U.K.,
is devoted to the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Dahl's early drafts of the book and other memorabilia are on hand, as well as opportunities for kids to make like Willy Wonka and design and decorate their own chocolate bars.
Events around the world
If you're the type that likes the full-on maximum chocolate experience, you'll be happy to know that destinations and events around the world cater to your obsession:
- Hop aboard the Swiss chocolate train (www.eurorailways.com/swiss/choco.htm), a first-class-only excursion train that leaves from Montreux (Wednesdays from June to the end of October) and goes to Gruyeres (a cheese and castle stop), then on to the main attraction in Broc, the Cailler-Nestle chocolate factory. You can get a buzz just from the heady aroma of chocolate as you step in the front door. Load up on sweets at factory prices. (For a Canadian version of chocolate on the rails, book a first-class seat on VIA Rail so you can toss back those infamous chocolate truffles, a staple on the Canadian trains since 1993.)
- Dec. 7 may seem like a long way off, but you'll have to book now if you want a stateroom onboard the chocolate cruise offered by Regent Seven Seas Cruises (www.rssc.
com). This hot-seller that cruises from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to the Caribbean features baking classes by master chefs, tastings, seminars and chocolate consumption in excess.
- Every October, Parisians and tourists gather at Salon du Chocolat (www.chocoland.com), a six-day event featuring chocolate competitions, sales, tastings, unique creations -- and consuming vast quantities. A New York City version happens in November, featuring a haute couture fashion show where all the clothes and accessories are made with chocolate. Last fall, Cadbury held a similar type fashion show in Toronto, with Canadian fashion houses like Brian Bailey and Northbound Leather sending their sexy designs down the runway.
- The really big show takes place in Perugia (home of Baci chocolates since 1922) in Umbria, Italy, in October. Eurochocolate (www.eurochocolate.com) celebrates the sweet stuff in all forms -- even chocolate pasta and gorgonzola chocolate cheese. Catering to the crowd is the local inexpensive Chocohotel (www.chocohotel.it), where each floor is named after a different type of chocolate and rooms are decorated in shades of chocolate brown.
Drink up
Aztec emperor Montezuma was said to have been a dedicated drinker of hot chocolate, up to 20 cups a day, which he believed fuelled his lovemaking. Maybe he was on to something. Italian researchers found that women who ate chocolate were more amorous and reached orgasm easier than those who do not indulge.
- Get it while it's hot at The Greenhouse at the Ritz-Carlton Chicago (www.fourseasons.com). Its hot chocolate is the real deal, made with homemade ganache concocted with Valrhona Pur Caraibe chocolate and heavy cream. It arrives at your table French-style (in a large bowl, not cup), accompanied by homemade chocolate sugar cookies.
- Gourmet versions of hot chocolate are pure bliss from Blantyre (www.blantyre.com), a stunning resort near Lenox, Massachusetts, in the heart of the Berkshires. Guests have the option of having it served as part of an ice picnic, in which you're served by waiters on skates, while you enjoy the winter wonderland of the surrounding mountains. No Kraft marshmallows permitted here: the chef prepares batches of fresh, homemade and hand-cut marshmallows, an elegant topping for a beverage that is really haute stuff.
- Equal care is taken with a version of hot chocolate served at the Royal Plantation (www.royalplantation.com) in Ocho Rios. Yes, Jamaicans do drink hot chocolate. Here, staffers do every step of its creation on-site, from roasting and drying cocoa pods seeds to spicing up the mixture with grated, locally grown cinnamon.
- There's huge debate about the source of the best chocolate martini. Montreal's Boodha Bar (www.boodhabar.com) earns raves for its creation, as does that from the Jetside Bar at The Fairmont Vancouver Airport (www.fairmont.com/vancouverairport). If you happen to be flying to New York after you've tested a few too many, try the hangover remedy from Chocolat Michel Cluizel (www.chocolatmichelcluizel.com). The chocolatey Mocha Avec Cognac Choctail promises the world will stop spinning once you've sampled its blend of French cognac, dark roasted coffee and secret chocolate mix.
Global interests
Just like lovers, chocolate can turn up in unexpected places:
- Amid the beauty of Old Havana's shabby chic (at Mercaderes Street and Amargura), visitors will discover a chocolate museum (www.gocuba.ca). Opened in November 2003, its setting, the former residence for the counts of Lagunilla, demonstrates the royal status that chocolate holds in Cuba. Drop by Tuesdays to Fridays at 11 a.m. to see candy-making first-hand, then stroll through displays of artifacts such as china cups for chocolates. Let's bring back what was known as the French bow cup, used by moustache wearers like Borat to sip the velvety liquid without making a mess.
- Nestled in the lushness of Grenada's forests and rolling hills is a small chocolate factory in a two-level house painted in Easter-egg pastel shades. The island's steamy climate is ripe for growing cocoa pods and the ones processed for the Grenada Chocolate Company (www.grenadachocolate.com) come from a nearby plantation. The resulting bars pack a powerful punch with rich, dense chocolate flavour. Go ahead, indulge. This is feel-good chocolate in every sense. Its chocolate-making machines run on solar-generated electricity and all the chocolate is organic. All profits from its special edition bars named after hurricanes Ivan and Emily go to Hearts and Hands of Grenada, a local hurricane-relief organization.
- Bariloche, in the picturesque Patagonia region of Argentina (www.welcomeargentina.com), is South America's mecca for chocolaholics. Mitre Street is dotted with shops, offering worldly versions, from the bold La Mexicana's dark bars, to creamy, melt-in-your-mouth Swiss chocolate. Thanks to an influx of immigrants from Austria, Germany and Switzerland, who were drawn to the snowcapped mountains in the area after the Second World War, chocolate-making headed south with delicious results.

Menstrual disorders consist of changes in the normal menstruation process.
- Normal Menstruation
- Menorrhagia
- Amenorrhea
- Other Types of Abnormal Bleeding
Normal Menstruation
Menstruation, also called menses, is just one part of the menstrual cycle in which your body prepares for pregnancy each month. A menstrual cycle is counted from the first day of one period (the first day of bleeding) to the first day of the next period. An average cycle is 28 days, but anywhere from 21-35 days is normal.
At the beginning of your cycle, the hormones estrogen and progesterone are at very low levels. During menstruation, levels of estrogen, which is made by your ovaries, start to rise and make the lining of your uterus grow and thicken. In the meantime, an egg (ovum) in one of your ovaries starts to mature. It is encased in a sac called the Graafian follicle, which continues to produce estrogen as the egg grows.
At about day 14 of a typical 28-day cycle, the sac bursts and the egg leaves your ovary, and the egg remains near the entrance to the fallopian tube until fertilized by a male sperm, after which it begins traveling through one of the fallopian tubes to the uterus. The release of the egg from the ovary is called ovulation.
After the egg is expelled, the follicle sac (now called a corpus luteum) remains in the ovary, where it continues producing hormones, but now mainly progesterone. The rising levels of both estrogen and progesterone help build up the uterine lining to prepare for pregnancy.
The few days before, during, and after ovulation is your "fertile period"—the time when you can become pregnant. Because the length of menstrual cycles varies, you may ovulate earlier or later than day 14. It's even possible for you to ovulate while you still have your period if that month's cycle is very short or period is very long. (Stress and other things can sometimes cause a cycle to be shorter or longer.) Regardless of what day in the cycle ovulation occurs, the corpus luteum will continue producing hormones only for 14 days, unless the egg is fertilized. Sperm from a man fertilizes the egg.
The fertilized egg becomes an embryo, passes down the fallopian tube, and implants in the lining of the uterus. The growing pregnancy releases a hormone (hCG), which stimulates the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum makes all the progesterone needed to keep the egg implanted and growing until a placenta (an organ connecting the fetus to the mother) develops. The placenta then makes hormones and provides nourishment from the mother to the growing embryo.
If an egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum stops making hormones (in 14 days) and gets reabsorbed in the ovary. Estrogen and progesterone levels drop again, the lining of the uterus breaks down, menstruation (bleeding) begins, and the cycle starts all over again.
This cycle will continue every month starting from about age 12 years old to an average age of 51 years old when menopause signals the end of menses and the ability to become pregnant.
Heavy Menstrual Bleeding
Most women lose an average of about 2 ounces (60 milliliters [mL]) of blood or less during normal menstruation. However, in some women, menstrual bleeding can be significantly heavier and/or longer. This is called menorrhagia. This happens if you lose more than 80 mL of blood and have a period lasting for more than 7 days. This can be caused by a number of conditions and can lead to anemia and other complications.
Absence of Menstruation
The absence of menstruation is categorized as primary or secondary. Primary amenorrhea occurs when a girl does not start to menstruate within the normal time frame of sexual development. Primary amenorrhea is diagnosed if there is no menses by age 14 in the absence of growth or development of secondary sexual characteristics; or if there is no menses by age 16 regardless of presence of normal growth and development with the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics.
Secondary amenorrhea occurs when previously initiated menstrual periods are absent for at least 3 cycles (for reasons other than menopause).
Amenorrhea can be caused by:
- Pregnancy
- Hormonal imbalances
- Hypothyroidism
- High levels of prolactin in the blood—hyperprolactinemia
- Eating disorders
- Psychiatric disorders
- Low or high body fat
- Rapid weight loss
- Excessive exercise or intense physical training
- Other conditions
Due to the underlying low estrogen, prolonged amenorrhea can lead to a decrease in bone density and an increased risk of osteoporosis .
Other Possible Types of Abnormal Bleeding
In addition to menorrhagia and amenorrhea, other types of abnormal bleeding may occur, such as:
Metrorrhagia—usually light bleeding in between periods (during an otherwise regular cycle)
- Light bleeding in between periods can have many causes. It can be the result of a hormonal imbalance (causing lack of ovulation), medications (birth control pill), infections, abnormal growths on the cervix or uterus, or miscarriage.
Menometrorrhagia—bleeding irregularly in between periods, then bleeding heavily at expected menses
- When a woman loses greater than 80 mL of blood during menses and also bleeds irregularly in between periods, it is called menometrorrhagia. This can be caused by a number of factors including hormone imbalances.
Hypomenorrhea—very light periods
- Female athletes often have light periods and/or fewer periods due to the hormonal changes associated with extreme exercise and low body mass index. Anorexia and other conditions may also be associated with hypomenorrhea, oligomenorrhea (too few menses), or amenorrhea.
Anovulatory cycle—because ovulation does not occur, no corpus luteum is formed; the cycle may be of any length and may be unpredictable
- In a normal ovulatory cycle, ovulation occurs. The cycle is regular whether or not it is the usual 28-day cycle (ovulation on day 14); or, say, a 35-day cycle (ovulation on day 21). When ovulation does not occur, the corpus luteum is not able to produce the hormones (for 14 days) that prepare the uterus and stop it from shedding. Menstrual flow can happen at any time.
Less commonly, women may ovulate, but changes in the length of the follicular phase or other conditions can cause:
- Polymenorrhea—too many menses close together (less than typical 21 days)
- Oligomenorrhea—too few cycles (menses far apart)
There are many causes of abnormal bleeding. Examples of causes include:
- Complications of pregnancy
- Trauma
- Infection
- Medications, including intrauterine devices (IUDs) and birth control pills
- Treatments and conditions, such as fibroids, polyps, or cancer (rare)
- Stress, exercise, and other conditions, which can stop the normal cycle of ovulation

Innovation, creativity, vision and, above all, determination and team spirit, all this is Terminology Coordination!

Acetic acid (167 mM) and lactic acid (548 mM) completely inhibited growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae both in minimal medium and in media which contained supplements, such as yeast extract, corn steep powder, or a mixture of amino acids. However, the yeast grew when the pH of the medium containing acetic acid or lactic acid was adjusted to 4.5, even though the medium still contained the undissociated form of either acid at a concentration of 102 mM. The results indicated that the buffer pair formed when the pH was adjusted to 4.5 stabilized the pH of the medium by sequestering protons and by lessening the negative impact of the pH drop on yeast growth, and it also decreased the difference between the extracellular and intracellular pH values (ΔpH), the driving force for the intracellular accumulation of acid. Increasing the undissociated acetic acid concentration at pH 4.5 to 163 mM by raising the concentration of the total acid to 267 mM did not increase inhibition. It is suggested that this may be the direct result of decreased acidification of the cytosol because of the intracellular buffering by the buffer pair formed from the acid already accumulated. At a concentration of 102 mM undissociated acetic acid, the yeast grew to higher cell density at pH 3.0 than at pH 4.5, suggesting that it is the total concentration of acetic acid (104 mM at pH 3.0 and 167 mM at pH 4.5) that determines the extent of growth inhibition, not the concentration of undissociated acid alone.
The yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
under aerobic conditions can use short-chain organic acids, such as acetic acid and lactic acid, as carbon sources. The process involves induction of certain anabolic pathways, enzymes, and specific transport mechanisms (
Breathe Tailwind Long Sleeve Top In Blue Ocean bliss/reflect Nike 100% Authentic Cheap Online Best Place Lowest Price Cheap Price mM4KKHhM4
, 4 , 5 , 6 , 17 ). If glucose is available in the growth medium, these pathways and permeases are repressed. Glucose-repressed yeast cells are unable to take up the anions of these acids ( 6 ), but the undissociated acids diffuse freely into the cells. Once inside, these acids dissociate because of the higher intracellular pH and cause acidification of the cytoplasm. Generally, eucaryotic cells maintain their intracellular pH within a narrow range despite wide variations that may occur in the extracellular pH ( 7 ). Under fermentation conditions, the intracellular pH of S. cerevisiae is usually maintained between 5.5 and 5.75 when the external pH is 3.0 ( 9 ) or between 5.9 and 6.75 when the external pH is varied between 6.0 and 10.0 ( Prince chinos Brown Department 5 Buy Cheap Get Authentic Free Shipping Visit New Free Shipping Newest Cheap Sale Discount Good Selling Sale Online l3YfB
). To maintain the intracellular pH within a physiological range optimum for metabolism, the cells pump out protons at the expense of metabolic energy (ATP). Increased diversion of energy (ATP) to pump out protons results in decreased molar growth yield with respect to glucose ( Y glucose ) ( 19 , 24 ). It has also been reported that the Y ATP (grams of biomass produced per mole of ATP generated) decreased from 14 to 4 when the concentration of acetic acid was increased from 0 to 170 mM ( 19 ). As the gap between the extracellular pH and the intracellular pH widens, greater stress is placed on the cells and more energy is expended to maintain the intracellular pH within the range that permits growth and survival of the yeast.
But the spatial resolution was indeed better than it should be on a consumer phone, and Live Roads was able to locate me down to a specific lane on a multi-lane road. Various navigation apps give you lane-specific instructions—for instance, telling you to stay in the middle two lanes if you're approaching a complicated intersection.Where Live Roads differs is that it can also tell which lane you're actually in. Whether this is enough of a feature to build a business model around is an open question; I'm quite happy using Google Maps on iOS, with occasional forays into Waze (running in the background to warn of speed traps) and Apple Maps (if I'm driving something with CarPlay and the infotainment's built-in navigation sucks).
But it left me wondering: how does it work?
Paul Konieczny, CEO of Live Roads, gave me an explanation—up to a point. "Primarilyit is based around sensor fusion and certain probabilistic models—we call it the Black Box," he said. "The current release of the app that isavailable in the Play Store has an earlier revisionof our Black Box. This initial version is missing some of the functionality of the full-fledged system and thus has a spatial resolution of ~2.5m. This compares favorablyto standard GPS that has a resolution of 4.0 m+."
By summer, Konieczny hopes that the system will be fully operational and that accuracy will be down to under 1.5m. Assuming a large enough user base, that should let it offer lane-specific traffic data, "as well as introducing an entire ecosystem of 3D objects that users will be able tointeractwith," he told me.
There are actually a few different ways to make your GPS system more accurate. The simplest is called Real Time Kinematics (RTK). This system involves comparing the signal from the constellation (or constellations, if you pull in signals from GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou as well as GPS) of orbiting satellites to a second signal from a base station at a known position. For things like field surveys, this works very well, but RTK base stations have a limited range—under 20 miles—so you need a network of them if you want widespread coverage.
Precise Point Positioning (PPP) is another alternative; it does away with the base station and instead sends the end user's GPS a correction signal calculated by knowing any corrections made to either the clocks or orbits of the satellites . Increasingly, that correction signal is delivered via the cloud.
"RTK is expensive; between $5,000 and $10,000 per station, and it doesn't scale," explained Fergus Noble, CTO at Swift Navigation. "PPP has global coverage but lower accuracy, and up to 30 min of waiting during initialization." Noble's company has developed a hybrid approach for getting centimeter-accurate localization at relatively low cost, called Skylark. "We model error profiles as GPS signals travel through the different regions of the atmosphere and the environment to correct the clock error," Noble said.
By Kim Spurr
When plants absorb sunlight, theyconvert carbon dioxideinto energy-rich organic compounds. What if humans could do the same thing? What if we could pull CO2 out of the air and use it to build organic molecules? This revolutionary idea is still just that — an idea. But organic chemists at UNC are laying the groundwork for turning it into reality.
A freshwater aquarium looks a bit like an underwater garden — bright, green grasses grow next to burgundy leaves resembling arugula. Small, silver fish dart between the foliage, as streams of bubbles flow up through the water column.
Dave Nicewicz stares at this array of life contained within the rectangular glass tank on his desk.
"Look at the little oxygen bubble at the edge of the leaf — that's a good one" he says, pointing to theplant with a reddish hue. A small heat lamp mimics the sun, radiating light into the tank, while six different species of plants release oxygen.
"I love this thing because you can actually see photosynthesis happening — you can't see that outside."
As a research scientist, Nicewicz finds inspiration in photosynthesis. And while he loves plants (both his office and home are full of them) he is not a biologist — he's an organic chemist.
"I'm not equating what we do to photosynthesis, but we're inspired by that process," he says.
Nicewicz's ultimate goal is to use the most abundant source of energy on the planet — sunlight — to power chemical reactions. "To harvest sunlight in a way that either directly or indirectly can be used in chemical reactions by translating photons into electrons," he says. "That's the future."
Humans have not yet engineered a way to create the complex biological machinery of plant life in a lab, according to Nicewicz, but the inspiration for the starting point is there — in the form of photo-redox catalysis.
"It's just a fancy way of saying we use light to make cool molecules," says Nate Romero, a former PhD student of the Nicewicz lab.
To explain this chemical process, it's helpful to break down each word. We're talking about creating reactions, and all reactions require an energy input – like heat or light. Photo refers to light, and redox refers to the transfer of electrons. Catalysis simply means using a catalyst, which decreases the amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur.
"We can use a single catalyst to make hundreds or thousands or millions of molecules that we're interested in studying," says Cole Cruz, a graduate research assistant in the lab.
By trying out different catalysts, this group of organic chemists can trim off one part of a molecule, or combine molecules that wouldn't typically combine. These "cool molecules" play a major role in the development of vital plastics and medicines around the world — making the production process more economical and more environmentally friendly.
Clang supports the
attribute, which indicates that the function accepts a
-like format string and corresponding arguments or a
that contains these arguments.
Please see GCC documentation about format attribute to find details about attribute syntax.
Clang implements two kinds of checks with this attribute.
Clang checks that the function with the
attribute is called with a format string that uses format specifiers that are allowed, and that arguments match the format string. This is the
warning, it is on by default.
Clang checks that the format string argument is a literal string. This is the
warning, it is off by default.
Clang implements this mostly the same way as GCC, but there is a difference for functions that accept a
argument (for example,
). GCC does not emit
warning for calls to such functions. Clang does not warn if the format string comes from a function parameter, where the function is annotated with a compatible attribute, otherwise it warns. For example:
In this case we warn because
contains a format string for a
-like function, but it is passed to a
-like function.
If the attribute is removed, clang still warns, because the format string is not a string literal.
Another example:
In this case Clang does not warn because the format string
and the corresponding arguments are annotated. If the arguments are incorrect, the caller of
will receive a warning.
is used to mark that the address of a declaration should be resolved at runtime by calling a resolver function.
The symbol name of the resolver function is given in quotes. A function with this name (after mangling) must be defined in the current translation unit; it may be . The resolver function should take no arguments and return a pointer.
The attribute may only be used on a function declaration. A function declaration with an attribute is considered to be a definition of the declared entity. The entity must not have weak linkage; for example, in C++, it cannot be applied to a declaration if a definition at that location would be considered inline.
Not all targets support this attribute. ELF targets support this attribute when using binutils v2.20.1 or higher and glibc v2.11.1 or higher. Non-ELF targets currently do not support this attribute.
The attribute changes the linkage type of the declaration to internal. This is similar to C-style , but can be used on classes and class methods. When applied to a class definition, this attribute affects all methods and static data members of that class.

One way to understand the currency dynamics of 2013 is to review the intermarket performances of the last four years and grasp the relationships between currencies, equities and commodities.
In assessing a currency's overall strength, we measure its performance against gold, a common denominator. The "Gold vs. FX" column in "Four-year intermarket performance" shows gold increased the most against the Japanese yen (JPY) in 2012, implying that JPY is the weakest currency.
• 2012 proved the best performing year for equities since 2009 via the cumulative annual returns of major global indexes. Aggressive central bank easing around the world helped establish "backstops" against Eurozone woes and fiscal cliff uncertainty.
• There were some glaring similarities between 2012 and 2009 in the currency space — JPY was the year's weakest currency followed by the U.S. dollar. Both the Norwegian kroner and New Zealand dollar ranked among the top currencies (against which gold underperformed). Both years involved aggressive central bank stimulus.
• The JPY-Nikkei inverse relationship remained alive and well with the Nikkei posting its biggest annual gain since 2005, and JPY posting its sharpest loss against gold since 2009.
• Commodities fared better in 2012 than 2011, but underperformed in 2010 and 2009. U.S. crude oil was the only "major" commodity to fall against the dollar. Gold's overall showing against the 11 currencies was weaker than in any of the previous five years.
USD: The U.S. dollar was the year's second worst performing currency. But the more interesting observation is that of gold and the U.S. dollar. Gold posted single-digit gains vs. all major currencies, with the exception of the JPY, against which it rallied 21%.
Euro: After a poor 2011 and a dismal 2010, the EUR/USD had a major accomplishment in 2012 — posting nine winning months. The last time this happened was in 2002. Draghi's vow in July to do all it takes to save the euro triggered the crucial stabilization of the currency, to the detriment of eroding periphery yield spreads.
JPY: The Abe government's vow to reinflate the economy was manifested in historical breakouts of major yen pairs. Several pairs rose above their 200-week moving average for the first time in more than four years.
Later this year, we're likely to see indications from the Fed about slowing the pace of asset purchases. Some markets may react to this as the near-end of quantitative easing, but with the Fed aiming to reduce unemployment to 6.5%, asset purchases are here to stay. Combined with improved prospects for rating upgrades in Greece and Italy, this will pave the way for +15% gains in global equities in Q1-Q3, keep the U.S. dollar under pressure and further punish the yen.

Home Insurance. Thursday , March 01st , 2018 - 15:08:09 PM
Drainage is one of those things that rarely comes up on a house tour. To achieve proper drainage in your yard, you'll either have a project on your hands or a contractor's fee to pay off, which may cause you to want to look elsewhere. So what do you do if you're all moved in and realizing you have drainage issues? Figure out the root cause of your drainage problems, and decide from there whether you can fix it all on your own by grading your yard, or if you need to call in some professional help.
In grading, you measure the slope of your yard and put grass down on top of the finished product to secure your new soil in place. The goal is to give water a place to run that will hold up long-term and protect your house's foundation. By taking care of the issue yourself, you'll learn how to lay seed or sod, which will make you more knowledgeable about taking care of that grass as it grows.
Some insurers might not include wildfires as a "covered peril" in areas that are prone to repeated wildfires. If you live in a state where wildfires are more common, your homeowners premium will most likely reflect that increased risk.

Rise of the Spires — USM downs Ottawa to capture conference crown; Saint Mary women fall
Amongst an army of white clad Saint Mary supporters, JEB Greenberg took in the moment.
Friends, family, teachers, coaches, classmates, teammates ― they all were there to watch him and the Spires men's basketball team bring home a title.
The Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference regular season crown to be exact.
And after a 40-minute grind wherein USM dispatched visiting Ottawa 74-59, the moment had come. It was time to celebrate, time to let loose, time to bask in the reality.
The University of Saint Mary men's basketball team are 2013 KCAC league champions.
"Man, it's a great feeling," the senior guard and Leavenworth alum said. "It's four years in the making." The game itself saw USM build a seven-point lead going into half thanks in large part to its outside shooting.
In the second, that offense hit a bump in the road and back came Ottawa, cutting the lead to three with eight minutes to go.
That was as close as the game got, however, as Saint Mary's buckled down defensively while going to the basket offensively. The aggressiveness led to a double-digit lead and eventually the victory.
"We wanted to get the crowd into it early and I thought we did that by making some 3-pointers," USM coach Jon Bishop said. "The crowd was huge tonight. We were waiting for our home crowd and student body after that Tabor loss. We have the best home court advantage in the league and we took advantage of it. They were great."
USM, 21-7 overall and 15-2 in the KCAC, will conclude its regular season Saturday when its host Southwestern College at 7 p.m.
"It feels great," Saint Mary forward Chip Schneider said. " We just worked so hard. Going through some trials and tribulations, but we are here now, on cloud nine."
Saint Mary women's slide hits five
Different night, same story for the Lady Spires Thursday.
In its second to last game of the season, the Saint Mary women's basketball team couldn't generate enough offense to deliver a win.
The lackluster scoring punch allowed a halftime advantage to turn into a blow out loss, the team's fifth straight, when USM lost 58-44 to visiting Ottawa University.
"We just didn't make shots when we needed to," Saint Mary coach Mike Basler said. "You can't score 40 points in a college basketball game and expect to win. It's just not going to happen that much, if ever."
It was a lethargic first half, though one in which the Lady Spires were able to keep the Lady Braves bottled up. At the break, the home team was up 22-20.
However, the defensive performance could not be sustained in the second half and the Saint Mary offense failed to hang with its visitors.
After beginning outscored 38-22, USM suffered the 14-point loss.
The Lady Spires, 8-21 overall and 2-15 in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference, will host Southwestern College Saturday at 5 p.m. in the teams' regular season finale.

Ant Extermination Prices
So, how much does it really cost to get rid of ant in Enloe? Without knowing the severity of your problem and the size of infestation it's hard to tell but here are some numbers to keep in mind:
- Depending on the type of the ants you should expect to pay $150-$1000 for a one-time treatment. Usually, one treatment is enough to get rid of the insects. Some companies offer a guarantee (free treatment in case of reemergence withing a specified time frame).
- To keep ants away you may need to sign a contract for monthly or quarterly services that cost $350-$700 per year (the cost of initial is included). Having a contract means that you can call the extermination company every time you see an ant in your house and they will take care of it even if it is before your next scheduled treatment. One thing to note is that service contracts are usually self-renewing so you need to call if you want to cancel.
Ant Extermination Practices
Pest control companies deploy numerous techniques and products to exterminate ants such as gel and powder baits, insecticide sprays, and barrier sprays. What they all aim to accomplish is eliminating the queen inside of the ant's nest. Of course, the best and fastest way to eliminate ants is to locate and nest and treat it directly.
However, that's not always possible. That's when bites are used. They are carried back to the nest and consumed by other ants. This way of extermination ants is slower but sometimes there's just no other way to solve the problem.
Another way of dealing with the insects is to use barriers to form a perimeter around your property.
DIY Approach to Extermination Ants
The thought of dealing with the ant infestation yourself has surely crossed your mind. Why pay an ant exterminator when a visit to the local store can solve your problem. Sometimes the DIY approach works and sometimes it doesn't. However, that doesn't mean you don't have to try. Here are some of the ant removal products on the market and what you need to know about them.
Terro Ant Bait is probably the most popular ant extermination product on the market and probably your first pick. However, if you want to try something homemade you can mix a boric acid powder with sugar. Either way, you need to lay them along ant trails. As mentioned above, the goal is for them to be carried back to the nest. Or you can just follow ants back to their nest and if you can easily reach it and treat it with boiling water, bait, or insecticide.
What's Next?
In essence, you have two choices – to deal with the ant infestation yourself or call a technician. To get a free non-binding quotes from up to tree ant exterminators in Enloe, TX, fill out the form below:

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics for Physicists and Engineers with AQME Nanotechnology has yielded a number of unique structures that are not found anywhere in nature. Most demonstrate an essential quality of Quantum Mechanics known as quantum confinement. The idea behind confinement is all about keeping electrons trapped in a small area. The sizes we're talking about here for confinement have to be less than 30 nm for effective confinement. Quantum confinement comes in several flavors. 2-D confinement is only restricted in one dimension, and the result is a quantum well (or plane). These are what most lasers are currently built from. 1-D confinement occurs in nanowires. 0-D confinement is found only in the quantum dot.
One is probably wondering why confinement is so important. For one thing, it leads to new electronic properties that are not present in today's semiconductor devices. Consider the quantum dot. The typical quantum dot is anywhere between 3-60 nm in diameter. That's still 30 to 600 times the size of a typical atom. A quantum dot exhibits 0-D confinement, meaning that electrons are confined in all three dimensions. The only things in nature that have 0-D confinement are atoms. So a quantum dot can be loosely described as an 'artificial atom'. This is vitally important because we can't readily experiment on regular atoms. They're too small and too difficult to isolate in an experiment. Quantum dots, on the other hand, are large enough to be manipulated by magnetic fields and can even be moved around with an STM or AFM. We can deduce many important atomistic characteristics from a quantum dot that would otherwise be impossible to research in an atom.
Confinement also increases the efficiency of today's electronics. The laser is based on a 2-D confinement layer that is usually created with some form of epitaxy like Molecular Beam Epitaxy or Chemical Vapor Deposition. The bulk of modern lasers created with this method are highly functional, but ultimately inefficient in terms of energy consumption and heat dissipation. Moving to 1-D confinement in wires or 0-D confinement in quantum dots allows for higher efficiencies and brighter lasers. Quantum dot lasers are currently the best lasers available though their fabrication is still being worked out. Confinement is just one manifestation of quantum mechanics in nanodevices. Tunneling and quantum interference are the other two manifestations of quantum mechanics in the operation of, for example, scanning tunneling microscopes and resonant tunneling diodes, respectively.
Because of the importance of understanding quantum mechanics to understand the operation of nanoscale devices, almost every Electrical Engineering department in which there is a strong nanotechnology experimental or theoretical group and all Physics departments teach the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and its application to nanodevice research. Within these courses one is first introduced to the concept of particle-wave duality (the photoelectric effect and the double-slit experiment), the solutions of the time-independent Schrodinger equation for open systems (piece-wise constant potentials), tunneling and bound states. The description of the solution of the Schrodinger equation for periodic potentials (Kronig-Penney model) naturally follows from the discussion of double well, triple well and n-well structures. This leads the students to the concept of energy bands and energy gaps and the concept of the effective mass that can be extracted from the precalculated bandstructure by fitting the curvature of the bands. The Tsu-Esaki formula is then derived so that having calculated the transmission coefficient one can calculate the tunneling current in resonant tunneling diode and Esaki diode. After establishing basic principles of quantum mechanics, the harmonic oscillator problem is then discussed in conjunction with understanding vibrations of a crystalline lattice and the concept of phonons is introduced as well as the concept of creation and annihilation operators. The typical quantum mechanics class for undergraduate/first year graduate students is then completed with the discussion of the stationary and time dependent perturbation theory and the derivation of the Fermi Golden Rule which is used as a starting point of a graduate level class in semiclassical transport. Yet another issue that is discussed sometimes in a typical quantum mechanics class is the concept of Coulomb Blockade.

Particle-Wave Duality
Diagram 1
Publicized early in the debate about whether light was composed of particles or waves, a wave-particle dual nature soon was found to be characteristic of electrons as well. The evidence for the description of light as waves was well established at the turn of the century when the photoelectric effect introduced firm evidence of a particle nature as well. On the other hand, the particle properties of electrons was well documented when the DeBroglie hypothesis and the subsequent experiments by Davisson and Germer established the wave nature of the electron.
Solution of the Time-Independent Schrodinger Equation
Piece-Wise Constant Potential Barrier Tool – Open Systems
The Piece-Wise Constant Potential Barrier Tool (PCPBT) allows calculation of the transmission and the reflection coefficient of arbitrary five, seven, nine, eleven and 2n-segment piece-wise constant potential energy profile.
Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM)
For the case of multi-well structure it also calculates the quasi-bound states so it can be used as a simple demonstration tool for the formation of energy bands. Also, it can be used in the case of stationary perturbation theory exercises to test the validity of, for example, the first order and the second order correction to the ground state energy of the system due to small perturbations of, for example, the confining potential. The PCPBT tool can also be used to test the validity of the WKB approximation for triangular potential barriers.
Tunneling: Limiting Device Miniaturization
Bound States Lab
The Bound States Calculation Lab determines the bound states and the corresponding wavefunctions in a square, harmonic and triangular potential well. Maximum number of eigenstates that can be calculated is 100. Students clearly see the nature of the separation of the states in these three prototypical confining potentials with which we can approximate realistic quantum potentials that occur in nature.
Energy eigenstates of a harmonic oscillator (top panel). Probability density of the ground state that demonstrates purely quantum-mechanical behavior (middle panel). Probability density of the 20th subband where we start to see more classical behavior (lower panel) as the well opens.
Energy Bands and Effective Masses =
Periodic Potential Lab
The Periodic Potential Lab solves the time independent Schroedinger Equation in a 1-D spatial potential variation. Rectangular, triangular, parabolic (harmonic), and Coulomb potential confinements can be considered. The user can determine energetic and spatial details of the potential profiles, compute the allowed and forbidden bands, plot the bands in a compact and an expanded zone, and compare the results against a simple effective mass parabolic band. Transmission is also calculated. This Lab also allows the students to become familiar with the reduced zone and expanded zone representation of the dispersion relation (E-k relation for carriers).

TORONTO (AP) — Police say a Toronto teen is the latest person to be charged in connection with one of the worst mass shootings in the city's history.
Toronto police said Friday that a 17-year-old boy has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder, 22 counts of aggravated assault, one count each of attempted murder and recklessly discharging a firearm.
The teen suspect, who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was scheduled to appear in court Friday.
Numerous gun shots were fired during a July 16 barbecue for young people, killing 14-year-old Shyanne Charles and 23-year-old Joshua Yasay. Twenty-three others were sent to the hospital.
Nineteen-year-old Nahom Tseigazab was charged earlier this week with two counts of second-degree murder, attempted murder and 23 counts of aggravated assault.

NH College Roundup: Mathieu lifts FPU over Hawks
April 02. 2013 10:31PM
Former Pinkerton Academy standout Zach Mathieu collected three hits to highlight Franklin Pierce's 9-2 victory over St. Anselm in a Northeast-10 Conference baseball game Tuesday. Junior Ryan Leach tossed three shutout innings of relief to collect the win.
The victory extended Franklin Pierce's winning streak to seven games. The Ravens, ranked 30th nationally, are 17-9 overall and 7-0 in the Northeast-10.
St. Anselm dropped to 8-14-1 overall and 3-4 in the Northeast-10.
Southern New Hampshire 7, St. Michael's 2: At Manchester, Franklin's Derrick Sylvester tossed seven shutouts innings to help No. 13 Southern New Hampshire improve its record to 18-6 overall and 2-2 in the Northeast-10. Sylvester allowed two hits and struck out seven to improve his record to 3-0.
Jon Minucci hit a three-run home run - his fifth of the season - to highlight a five-run third inning. Minucci has 18 career home runs, one shy of the program record set by Portsmouth's Jeff Weakes (1995-98).
Trinity 5, Keene State 3: At Hartford, Conn., Dover's Ian Seawards collected three hits and two RBIs, but Keene State lost for the sixth time in seven games and fell to 6-13 overall. Concord's Eddie Dionne, a freshman, started and took the loss for the Owls. He gave up five runs on five hits in five innings. Dionne struck out four and walked four.
Men's lacrosse
Anna Maria 12, Daniel Webster 8: At Nashua, Anthoni Cotini provided much of the Daniel Webster offense by scoring four goals, but the Eagles fell to 1-5 overall and 0-4 in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference. Brookline's Sean Hamilton added two goals and two assists for Daniel Webster.
Women's lacrosse
Keene State 13, Colby-Sawyer 1: Junior Eliza Witherbee scored four goals and assisted on two others to help the Owls raise their record to 3-5 with this non-league victory. Bradford's Laurel Bauer scored the only goal for Colby-Sawyer, which dropped to 2-5.

President Barack Obama's re-election means the Affordable Care Act is here to stay, and Cleveland Clinic CEO Toby Cosgrove has a clear view of the next steps for health systems, employers and citizens. In an interview on Bloomberg Television's "Taking Stock," Dr. Cosgrove says that as a result of provisions of the Affordable Care Act, hospital systems are "going to see more patients, and we're going to be paid less for looking after them." That puts a premium on two factors, he says: improving the quality (and measurability) of care while reducing the cost of care. On the cost side of the equation, Dr. Cosgrove says, health systems will need to increase their collaborative efforts, a development that has been under way for a few years. In addition, Dr. Cosgrove reiterated his call for the country to cut its rates of smoking and obesity. "We've got to, as a nation, reduce the burden of disease," Dr. Cosgrove said in the interview. He said smoking, lack of exercise and poor diets are directly responsible for about 70% of chronic cases treated at hospitals. Reducing those factors will help the country "put the 'health' in our health care system," he said. At present, Dr. Cosgrove said, "Right now we have mostly sick care." He also called on health care systems to follow the Clinic's lead and be more transparent in publishing outcomes of care, so the data can be used to drive quality improvements. "We're starting to understand quality in a bigger, more sophisticated way" as health care systems release more — and more detailed — information about patient outcomes.
The Clinic's Dr. Cosgrove shares thoughts on what's next in health care
The Washington Post reports that the federal agency that insures pensions for 43 million Americans "saw its deficit swell to $34 billion in the past year, the largest in its 38-year history." In its annual report released Nov. 15, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. blamed the growing shortfall "on its inability to charge private employers adequate premiums for insuring pensions," The Post reports. The PBGC's director, Joshua Gotbaum, wants Congress to give the agency power to set its own premiums. "We continue to hope that PBGC can have the tools to set its own financial house in order, the way other government and private insurers do," he said in a statement. The Post notes that the PBGC is funded by a combination of insurance premiums from private pension plans, investment returns on its $85 billion in assets and recoveries from bankrupt companies. It receives no taxpayer money; its leaders say it has sufficient reserves to cover its obligations. Overall, the agency saw its long-term liabilities increase $12 billion to $119 billion, while its assets grew by only $4 billion over the past year. If the shortfalls continue, Mr. Gotbaum warned, "PBGC may face for the first time the need for taxpayer funds. That is a situation no one wants."
Gov. John Kasich has signed an executive order that authorizes the Ohio Rehabilitation Services Commission to implement a fee schedule for vocational rehabilitation services. Before the order, Gov. Kasich notes, the RSC "was the only agency of its kind in the nation that allowed providers to set their own rates," according to HR.BLR.com. The website says the fee schedule covers 29 services provided by RSC, including career assessment services, vocational training, rehabilitation technology services, and job development and placement. The new fees were developed through a benchmarking study conducted by Public Consulting Group Inc. "The study found that fees charged by the more than 180 service providers contracting with RSC varied widely," the website notes. "Before the new schedule, for example, 2012 fees for community-based assessment ranged from $45 to $110 per hour, while job coaching fees ranged from $31 to $127 per hour." The Public Consulting Group study found that the RSC "received 31,103 referrals for Ohioans with disabilities in fiscal year 2011 and placed or retained 3,373 workers," HR.BLR.com reports. The clients worked an average of 30 hours per week at an hourly rate of $11.11. The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation uses established fee schedules for vocational rehabilitation service providers. The study "found that 78 percent of program costs charged to BWC were directly related to personnel and benefit costs, while 22 percent were related to operating costs," according to the website. RSC's new fee schedule reflects the same cost ratios.
New data show that employers have not only restored the matching 401(k), but also that employees are contributing more to their retirement plans as the economy has improved. Workforce, a sister publication of Crain's Cleveland Business, reports that a new survey from the Plan Sponsor Council of America, released last month, shows that nearly 93% of companies with fewer than 200 participants made a match to worker contributions in 2011. That's up 10 percentage points from 2010 data. The council's 55th annual report surveys 840 plans' data from 2011, according to Workforce It covers 10.3 million participants with $753 billion in plan assets. Overall, nearly 96% percent of companies had a match in their plan, compared with 91% in 2010. "Not only are more companies matching the contribution, but what they are offering increased in 2011," Workforce reports. "The survey showed company matches increased slightly to 4.1 percent of employee pay in 2011 from 3.7 percent." As companies put money on the table, employees respond by boosting contributions to their accounts. Last year, participants put increased the amount they put into their accounts — 6.4% of pay from 6.2% in 2010.

Sen. Sylvia Larsen: Expanding Medicaid is all benefit, no cost for New Hampshire
IF you could help make sure 58,000 of your uninsured New Hampshire neighbors get health insurance for almost no cost, wouldn't you do it?
Accepting federal funds to expand Medicaid is common-sense health policy, as well as good fiscal and economic policy for New Hampshire. Expansion would inject $2.5 billion into the state's economy, create 5,100 jobs and save hard-working Granite Staters almost $100 million in health care costs. The potential benefits to our state's families and small businesses are undeniable; the only question now is whether New Hampshire will move forward and accept the federal money for expansion or maintain a status quo that grows more expensive every day.
Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court gave every state the ability to use federal dollars to expand its Medicaid program. Even some of the most conservative Republican governors across the country — Chris Christie in New Jersey, Jan Brewer in Arizona, John Kasich in Ohio and Rick Scott in Florida — have announced that they will be expanding Medicaid because of the massive benefits to their states.
Gov. Brewer had threatened to veto every bill the state's Republican legislature sent her until legislators agreed to expand Medicaid. Christie said: "accepting these federal resources will provide health insurance to tens of thousands of low-income New Jerseyans, help keep our hospitals financially healthy and actually save money for New Jersey taxpayers." And Gov. Kasich said that even Ronald Reagan would have supported expansion.
Unfortunately, in New Hampshire, Republicans in the Senate are so far putting the brakes on expansion. Some are urging that they cling to the Tea Party ideology voters rejected last fall. I hope that they can ultimately tune out these out-of-state partisan forces and move us forward.
Because when Medicaid has been expanded to cover more uninsured residents in other states it has nearly eliminated crippling medical expenses among low-income working families, reducing the percentage of people who faced catastrophic out-of-pocket medical expenditures by 80 percent. It also significantly improved mental health and increased preventive care. Most remarkably, the New England Journal of Medicine found that people had lower mortality when they received expanded Medicaid, meaning, people lived longer.
In New Hampshire, it would improve the economic security of countless New Hampshire hardworking, tax-paying families.
In addition, it would relieve the heavy hidden health care tax on small businesses in our state, who right now are forced to pay higher premiums to make up for the uncompensated care that hospitals and providers deliver. Accepting the federal Medicaid funds would save $400 million of this bad debt and charity care. That will mean a lot less shifting of uncompensated care costs onto businesses, which lowers premiums and cuts this hidden tax.
With these health and economic benefits for New Hampshire families and small business so clear, Republicans have instead leaned on unfounded allegations of future fiscal risk for our state to justify delay.
However, the fact is that the federal government will pay for 100 percent of the costs for the first three years and 90 percent for every year after that, and the state can opt out at any time. So the state has zero risk. Furthermore, the federal program that allows expanded Medicaid reduces the federal deficit, so allegations that it will be the victim of future federal cost-cutting are backwards.
That is why editorials by some of New Hampshire's largest papers have taken Republicans to task for their position. In fact, the Valley News said Republicans' fears were either "sloppy math or unwarranted anxiety."
Frankly, it will cost our state more not to expand Medicaid. If we as a state reject these federal funds, New Hampshire taxpayers' hard-earned federal tax dollars would be used to expand Medicaid in other states, and we would lose $340 million next year alone that we would never get back. More than 200 years ago, our Founding Fathers said "no" to taxation without representation. Well, this would be taxation without compensation. It is fiscally irresponsible.
Accepting $2.5 billion in federal dollars to expand Medicaid is the smart decision for our state budget. A new nonpartisan economic study predicts that states not expanding Medicaid will have fewer people with health insurance, forcing higher state and local government spending for uncompensated medical care, something we can all agree to oppose.
Expansion is the smart decision, the common-sense decision, the fiscally responsible decision and the right decision for New Hampshire.
Sen. Sylvia Larsen, D-Concord, represents District 15 in the state Senate.

To keep my gardening chores organized, I developed a calendar associated with major holidays. I use a Missouri Department of Conservation Natural Events Calendar, which includes when hummingbirds migrate, chiggers start biting, etc.
To keep my gardening chores organized, I developed a calendar associated with major holidays. I use a Missouri Department of Conservation Natural Events Calendar, which includes when hummingbirds migrate, chiggers start biting, etc.
I also use some of the holidays as reminders to check on my garden progress.
Here's my calendar for 2013:
New Year's Jan. 1: Spray inside plants for hitchhiking bugs; remove dead branches. Mark garden catalogs for possible projects.
Jan. 21 Martin Luther King Day: Check plants wintering inside are getting enough sunlight; move them around and give watered down fertilizer. Review garden diary from last year. Trade garden catalogs with other gardening friends.
Valentine's Day February 14: Good time to check birdhouses for repairs; clean garden implements; wash flower pots; order local shrubs and trees from George O. White Nursery. Prune fruit trees.
President's Day February 18: Plant onion sets in the garden. I pop a few into deck containers, too! Plant deck containers with lettuce, spinach, radishes...it's almost spring!
St. Patrick's Day March 17: Plant potatoes, snow peas, brussel sprouts and broccoli in garden; start tomato and pepper seedlings inside on warm surface.
Spring March 21: Work more compost into raised garden beds. Plant more lettuce, spinach, radishes, onions. Prune roses.
Easter March 31: Plant tree seedlings and native wildflowers. Update garden diary for bulbs I need to divide and move this fall; mark locations so I can find them.
Earth Day April 22: Planting last of my spinach, peas and lettuce in garden. Time to cover garden with tulle to keep deer out.
Mother's Day May 12: Last day of frost so everything can get moved outside. I'll leave seedlings in their containers outside for a few days before moving them permanently into the garden.
Memorial Day May 27: Last day to plant anything from seed in garden for this year, which means pumpkins, cucumbers and zucchini go in. Compact fruit trees, bushes and perennials also get planted so they can benefit from June showers.
Father's Day June 16: Last weekend to plant perennials. Check garden centers for end of season plant sales.
Independence Day July 4: Last day for planting beans for the season. It's also the last weekend for pinching back Mums so they bloom bushy this fall. There's little planted past this point that will survive Missouri's hot summer. Update garden diary.
Labor Day Sept. 2: Harvest fall crops; check for bugs; add compost, and start getting raised garden beds ready for winter. Also time to offer sugar water to my honeybees since little pollen is available. Think about planting a fall garden.
Columbus Day Oct. 14: Trim deck plants. Start moving them inside house for winter. Give them a good bath first to discourage hitch-hiking bugs. Trade plants with friends for holiday gifts.
Halloween Oct. 31: First fall hard frost. All plants that are going to winter over should be settled inside. Halloween weekend is also a good time to add compost to raised bed gardens and make sure bird feeders are mended and ready for winter.
Veterans Day Nov. 11: Clean and store pots, garden implements; toss out torn gardening gloves; mark envelopes with saved seeds; update garden diary on what worked well this year and what I want to do differently or try next year. If there's been a hard frost, good time to mulch plant beds so soil temperature doesn't fluctuate.
Thanksgiving Nov. 28: Buy bulbs on discount. Make bulb gardens for winter gifts; store wrapped refrigerator. If ground is frozen, mulch garden beds.
Winter, Dec. 21: Water first year mums, pansies once a month through winter. Make sure winter birds have defrosted water to drink. Look for first gardening catalogs in the mail!
Christmas Dec. 25: Enjoy giving, and receiving, gifts from the garden!

NH roads: Are they really horrible?
Advocates of a huge state gas tax increase continue to claim that New Hampshire's roads and bridges are in terrible condition. So why aren't Granite Staters demanding big increases in transportation spending?
This week the libertarian Reason Foundation released its annual report on state road conditions. It ranked New Hampshire 16th in the nation. We spend more on maintenance and repairs than most states, and less on new construction, which puts us 29th for total spending.
Rep. David Campbell, D-Nashua, denounced the study. "I'm concerned that a report like this will distract people from the overall horrific condition of the state roads and bridges," he told this newspaper. Horrific?
In February, Campbell promoted a study by a group called TRIP. It purported to show that 37 percent of the state's roads were in disrepair and immediate action was needed. TRIP is a Washington advocacy group for the road construction and materials industries.
No question, some New Hampshire roads and bridges need more investment. But were Campbell correct that our roads are "horrific," legislators would demand a gas tax hike because their constituents would demand road repairs. That isn't happening because our roads are actually pretty good overall. Instead of trying to scare citizens, Campbell and his legislative allies should make the case for small increases targeted to specific needs. Maybe then they would get somewhere.

For the next couple weeks, it's imperative all you good folks out there stay alert and keep your wits about you.

This easy Green Salsa Chicken is sure to satisfy your Mexican food craving! It's ready in about a half hour with very quick prep. Perfect dinner for busy days!Green Salsa Chicken
Hi! It's Dee from Meatloaf and Melodrama, and I've got a quick and easy one-dish chicken dinner that's packed with flavor to share with you today. This salsa verde chicken bake was inspired by the low carb enchilada chicken that I posted here last month.
Both of these chicken recipes are made the same way, and they're both super easy one dish meals that you can make in 30 minutes. Basically all you do is season the chicken, pour the sauce over the meat, and bake.
I recommend using a probe thermometer to make sure you cook the chicken to 165 degrees F. Right before the chicken is done, you top it with cheese and let it bake until the cheese is melted. That's it!
The only real difference between the two meals is one is made with
red enchilada sauce
, and the other uses

. My family loves the original recipe so much that I decided to try a different version so that we wouldn't get tired of it — I always hate when that happens!
This recipe for baked salsa verde chicken only takes a few quick minutes to prepare and only 30 minutes to bake, so it's perfect for busy days or even lazy days when you don't have a lot of energy to make dinner. Since it's summer, I'm having a lot of those lazy days. ;)
I'd just rather be spending time with the kids or just chillin' than cooking. Even though it's warm out, I still crave comfort food now and then. We've been having
VIDA Statement Clutch Balanced by VIDA 3Ndgs2Vej
and Loaded Southwest Chicken Salad almost every week, but sometimes you want some melted cheese in your life!
Actually, this green salsa chickenisn't that heavy at all. The tomatillo sauce is lighter than red sauce, and I like to serve it with a side of lettuce, tomatoes and avocado slices. It's almost like a warm chicken salad. I use pepper jack cheese for a little extra spice, but you can tone down the heat and use a white cheddar or monterey jack instead. If you top the chicken with sour cream, it takes the heat down even more. Enjoy!

VIENNA (AP) — Mira Sorvino's list of awards includes an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a host of nominations reserved for the world's best actors and actresses. She's had meaningful roles in more than 50 films and TV productions in a career that began two decades ago and is still going strong.
So why is she contemplating ending her acting career a few years down the line?
"I love acting, and that is my job right now," Sorvino told The Associated Press on Friday. At the same time, she describes her advocacy against human trafficking and modern-day slavery as "my calling," and so important that "in a decade or so, I wouldn't mind just switching to a career in humanitarian causes."
Sorvino's Oscar-winning role as a prostitute with a golden heart in Woody Allen's "Mighty Aphrodite" might have cast the world's oldest profession in comic light. These days, though, her fight against the sex trade and modern-day slavery has become a serious crusade off screen and on. She has served as U.N. Goodwill Ambassador to Combat Human Trafficking since 2009, and in her 2012 film "Trade of Innocents" — described as a "powerful, important movie" by Movieguide — she plays a woman chosen to extricate a little Cambodian girl from the grip of a prostitution ring.
While firm figures are not available, the U.S. State Department estimated in 2010 that 12.3 million people are enslaved worldwide. Of those, millions are children forced into the sex trade, and Sorvino said she was drawn to the role both as a mother and as an activist anguished by the plight of girls driven into prostitution at childhood.
"It's unthinkable, it's unspeakable, and yet it's all over," she said, tearing up as she recalled one such victim she met in Mexico who had been held in a brothel from the age of 4 until her rescue three years later.
The 45-year old actress spoke to the AP in the offices of the Vienna-based U.N. Office for Drugs and Crime after being extended in her goodwill ambassador's role by the U.N. agency's head, Yury Fedotov.
"She gave voice to the speechless," Fedotov said of Sorvino's efforts on behalf of victims.
Sorvino's social commitments sit deep. The actress recalls a "long history of activism and idealism in our family" — of discussions with her father about the anti-apartheid crusades of South African churchman Desmond Tutu and her mother marching in Washington with Martin Luther King.
With an education that focused on human rights, including research in racial conflict in China and anti-Semitism in Russia, she says her early life "was all about social justice and trying to be on the side of the angels in bettering the world in some idealistic fashion."
"Then the acting career became my career and I have passion for that as an artist," she said. But, she adds, human rights advocacy "answers something else in me that I have had since I was a little girl reading Anne Frank."
Sorvino has been affiliated with Amnesty International since 2004 and received that organization's "Artist of Conscience Award" for philanthropic and humanist activities. In a more unusual honor, a compound excreted by the sunburst diving beetle as a defensive mechanism is now called "mirasorvone," in recognition of her role as entomologist Susan Tyler probing deadly insect mutations in the film "Mimic."
Along the way, she has turned from being aware of causes to someone working to drive change.
She cites pending legislation in Wyoming that will make it the last U.S. state to make human trafficking a crime as partially a result of her push, declaring: "I called them out very publicly."
She dismisses suggestions that Hollywood and human rights don't mix — and that as such she is out of step with the industry.
"Every person in the world is an individual — no one can be defined by the label "Hollywood," Sorvino said.
Depending on the day and time, the actress-activist says she morphs into a mother of four with "a crazy maelstrom of activity, runny noses and homework and bedtimes."
"So, I don't know where I fit in," she said. As for activism, "I love this part of my life."
