HD Radio is the brand name of a method of digital transmission of audio on the FM and AM radio bands. The technology was developed by iBiquity Digital Corporation. The Federal Communications Commission selected HD (Hybrid Digital) Radio as the standard for local area broadcast of signals within the United States. It offers multiple programs on one channel and works on the same frequencies allocated to analog (FM and AM) radio stations. Supporters claim CD quality sound and reduced interference. Although the acronym HD has come to mean "high-definition" in reference to HDTV, the "HD" in HD Radio is a trademark (although Hybrid digital technology is used).

The Rock Springs Massacre or Rock Springs Riot (sometimes known as the Rock Springs Attack) occurred on September 2, 1885 in the town of Rock Springs, Wyoming, in present day Sweetwater County. The massacre pitted white miners against immigrant Chinese miners, in a murderous, racially-motivated attack. By the end of the riot 28 Chinese miners lay dead and more than a dozen lay wounded. More than $150,000 in property damage, caused by fire, also occurred as more than 50 Chinese homes were burned. The incident was the deadliest of the many anti-Chinese incidents of violence in the 19th Century.

The Asian grass lizard, six-striped long-tailed lizard, or long-tailed grass lizard (Takydromus sexlineatus) is an arboreal, diurnal species of lizard. The tail length is usually over three times the body (snout to vent) length in this species.
Males and females are similar, males being distinguishable by the presence of pre-a**l pores. On average they grow to around 8cm (snout-to-vent length), with the addition of a distinctive long tail. Some individuals may have small circular spots on the sides of the bodies.
They may break their tail when threatened. They grow back and do not harm the lizard.
