Voting record scrutinized
Rep. Chris Gibson defends stances as Democrat Julian Schreibman questions votes
Updated 12:20 pm, Wednesday, October 24, 2012
NORTH GREENBUSH — The debate for the 19th Congressional District turned into a bitter battle over campaign attack ads and energy policies.
Rep. Chris Gibson tried to portray his challenger, Kingston lawyer and Democrat Julian Schreibman, as a negative campaigner unable to produce substantive ideas. Schreibman used the debate to cast Gibson as a tea party loyalist far to right of most constituents. Both used virtually every question as an opportunity to weave talking points around accusations that the other's attacks were lies.
The sometimes heated exchange took place at the WMHT studios and touched on Medicare, energy sources, childhood education and gay marriage.
Schreibman repeatedly tried to tie Gibson's voting record to tea party extremes and the budget plan sponsored by Rep. Paul Ryan, the Republican vice president nominee, which would restructure the Medicare program from a system of fee-for-services to one based on vouchers and cuts many social programs. Schreibman went after Gibson's support of nuclear power and said the incumbent freshman congressman was trying to portray himself as a moderate only during the campaign.
More Information
"When you look past the rhetoric, you'll see he's never a moderate when it matters," Schreibman said.
Gibson said he had no desire to end Medicare, but wanted to make it stronger so that it would remain viable in the future. He said his own 75-year-old mother was on Medicare and said he wanted it to support her until she was 100 or older. Gibson was careful to point out his support of Head Start early education programs and endorsement by a number of unions, including the New York State United Teachers.
Compared to the debate last week, Gibson spent less time on the defensive and even earned a few laughs from the studio crowd by pointing out that his opponent was more interested in attacks than providing specific economic plans that would grow jobs. "It's possible I missed it, but he didn't give anything that resembled a plan," Gibson said.
Neither candidate expressed support for hydrofracking, which could have a significant affect on some areas of the district, which stretches from the mid-Hudson Valley and Catskills as well as to parts of Rensselaer and Montgomery counties. Schreibman said he would invest in renewable energy resources instead of something that carried environmental risks. Gibson said he had not seen a fracking plan that convinced him it was safe and said it should be up to individual communities to establish bans if it is legalized.
Both men dodged a question on whether they would support the Constitution pipeline, which would carry natural gas from Pennsylvania through Delaware and Schoharie counties.
The final debate will be held on Oct. 24, at the State University of New York at Oneonta.

bill-swift - November 14, 2013
Life as a Disney starlet isn't so much different than life as a Disney actress. Nail salons in Beverly Hills, meeting the boyfriend for lunch dates, walking the show dog, and, of course, showing off in leather crop tops whenever the chance arises. School and all that Jack and Diane high school nonsense is better left for others not starring on Disney TV shows and feature films.
So goes Bella Thorne, the ginger that the Mouse House tapped to replace Miley Cyrus when Miley got too, well, grown up Miley. Which means that Bella must contain her partying and wild exhibitionist ways for a little while longer before she gets into her own Wrecking Ball type years. For now, just leading the life of a young independent woman well beyond her years. Enjoy.

What draft Oireachtas Finance Committee report says
Ireland's Corporation Tax Revenues of €4bn a year could be halved under new OECD clampdown on international tax rules.
* There is a broad consensus that Ireland is not a tax haven, however Prof Jim Stewart of Trinity College Dublin says Ireland "does have features of a tax haven".
* Ireland's 12.5pc rate applies equally to multi-nationals as well as Irish owned companies.
* Ireland is right to have a competitive corporation tax rate, which gives us a competitive advantage over larger countries in mainland Europe.
* Ireland cannot change the "double-Irish" arrangement by itself.
* Ireland is not "uniquely malignant" in terms of its corporate tax, but there are flaws internationally.
* The furore over our Corporation Tax rate is causing "considerable reputational damage to the Irish economy to the point of ridicule," said Michael Taft in the report.
* Prof Jim Stewart says Ireland's effective Corporate Tax Rate is 2.2pc, but Conor O'Brien of KPMG says "such talk is completely wrong".
* Apple and associated companies have "very limited links" with Ireland, despite being incorporated here.
* Figures show Apple was able to reduce its US corporate tax bill by $12.5bn in two years by having a base in Ireland.
* According to its latest 10k filing in the US, Apple has a deferred tax liability of $35bn.
* Ireland cannot take unilateral action to fix its corporate tax rate, but must move in a multilateral way with other countries.

ReZEL G-Defensor articles are also from the IDTC column. Fingers crossed for Doven Wolf in OVA 5 or 6 and HGUCCalubin_175 wrote:Haven't read the full article yet, but it did mention that some of the Doven Wolf pilots whom left Axis at the end of 0089 became space pirates and then later joined Frontal's faction. I think the pirates status refers to the event from Evolve.
These IDTC are confusing me now. I know that it is a third party(freelance writer) source, similar to the Master Archives series. But this is the first IDTC article that ties in with a the Bande Desinee version of the story, which cannot quite coexist with the anime version. Either way there is no official canon lol, all three versions, the novel, anime and Bande Desinee are all equally as appealing, and the extend of their similarities are better than that of Zeta Gundam's quad-media versions(TV, novel, manga, movie).
I would also like to confirm whether the ReZEL G-Defensor articles were from IDTC? If so, then these articles are meant to refer to the collective Unicorn franchise.
calubin does the IDTC also appear to mention that the beam saber doubles as a beam cannon as this pic?

Symmetrix to IBM Shark)?
Yup, but not in hardware. One of the ways I have used to migrate data between storage arrays (in NT clusters for instance) is to use two paths over the SAN out to two disparate storage arrays. You can create a similar LUN in both arrays, and then use the host to create the mirror set. Under NT, you can use disk admin to create the mirror.
Another approach is to use virtualization software on the host. Veritas VxVM for Solaris or Compaq Virtual Replicator for NT can do this for you.
The last approach is to use virtualization hardware like StorageApps or FalconStor and connect both arrays to the virtualization engines. This can provide a protected "POOL" of storage for your system.

Sandy Alderson addressed the Mets' lack of activity at the trade deadline with beat writers after the deadline passed. The Mets' GM said he did have conversations about "significant" players in both a "buyers and sellers" sense.
The bottom line for Alderson is that he was not ready to subtract players from the active MLB roster, and he was reluctant to part with any top prospects to upgrade the offense. In other words, he still has no clue what kind of a team he has on his hands right now and doesn't want to make a move until he knows for sure.
Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, posted a partial transcript of his specific comments:
Why was it prudent for no activity at the deadline?
"There was some activity. Nothing came to fruition. There were some proposals that we made that were not acceptable and some made to us that we didn't feel were reasonable. And so, while we were active in conversations, although not super active, we just didn't make any deals."
"I think going in we didn't intend to be sellers and we didn't intend to be buyers necessarily. We were looking at the market and what it would dictate. We set a price on some of our players. And, under the circumstances, they weren't met. So be it. We're happy with the team that we have. We're happy we retained all of our players. And we're looking forward to the last 60 or so games of the season."
Regarding fans frustration with nothing done to improve the club.
"The question of improving the club is certainly a legitimate one. In order to potentially improve the club some significant way as opposed to some incremental way, we would have had to have been prepared to deal some of our young pitching. At this particular stage, we're not prepared to do that, at least in the deals that were presented, or were available to us."
"I actually think that if we're going to trade some of our young prospects, that we're probably better off doing that in the offseason. I mean, we have a known commodity in those prospects — I think a recognizable group of prospect assets in the game. In some way, we don't want to limit ourselves to the options that are available now as opposed to what we think may be available in the offseason. That leaves you with some sort of an incremental improvement. We just didn't see that out there. So we were alert to the possibility, but we didn't feel the opportunity presented itself."
Read the rest at ESPN New York.
The Mets could still engineer a trade following today's deadline, as they did last season when they dealt Marlon Byrd and John Buck to the Bucs for reliever Vic Black and second base prospect Dilson Herrera. Tomorrow the Mets will try and see if they can pass any players through waivers.
I guess you could say I'm somewhat disappointed that we did nothing, but I still would rather do nothing than sign off on a bad deal for the team.
We saw some huge names switch teams today, debunking the usual prehistoric claims that big players don't get traded in July.
Among some of the bigger deals we saw today were the following:
The Tigers were the big winners, acquiring the top pitcher on the market LHP David Price from the Rays. They sent LHP Drew Smyly and SS Willy Adames to the Rays and OF Austin Jackson to the Mariners. The Mariners send INF Nick Franklin to the Rays. Looks like Ben Zobrist stays put again. What a rotation by the Tigers: Price, Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander and Anibal Sanchez.
The A's struck first blood and acquired prized lefthander Jon Lester, OF Jonny Gomes and cash from Red Sox for OF Yoenis Cespedes and competitive balance draft pick. Billy Beane is the best GM in baseball, and guess what, he doesn't hoard prospects. The Tigers have a great rotation, but the A's are certainly no pushovers with a squad that features Lester, Sonny Gray, Scott Kazmir and Jeff Samardzija. The Red Sox were all over Cespedes when he was a free agent and look for them to sign him to an extension before next season.
Yankees acquire INF-OF Martin Prado from Diamondbacks for 1B/OF Peter O'Brien. I laughed when the Yankees traded for Stephen Drew about 15 minutes before this one came down the pike, but Prado is the kind of player any team can use.
The Cardinals acquired RHP John Lackey and LHP Corey Littrell from the Red Sox for 1B/OF Allen Craig and RHP Joe Kelly. St. Louis is always a big player when theybcan sniff the playoffs and it's too bad the Mets didn't get in on Allen Craig or hey even Cespedes for that matter. Of course Craig on a lesser basis n
The Marlins acquired RHP Jarred Cosart, INF-OF Kike Hernandez and OF Austin Wates from the Astros for OF Jake Marisnick, 3B Colin Moran, RHP Francis Martes and a competitive balance draft pick. I love this for the Marlins. I like Cosart, he's a big-time arm and his stock is rising. Good job to land him while they wait for Jose Fernandez to recover from TJS. I wonder if the Fish would swap him to us for Bartolo Colon? (sarcasm font)
Nationals acquired SS Asdrubal Cabrera from the Indians for SS Zach Walters. Another NL East rival makes a move although I'm not sure how this helps them unless the 28-year old shortstop returns to form. He's young so it could happen, and with Ryan Zimmerman out until September, he'll get plenty of playing time to rediscover himself.
Orioles acquired LHP Andrew Miller from the Red Sox for LHP Eduardo Rodriguez. Looks like the O's are going for broke. Miller is a tremendous left-handed reliever but he's free agent at the end of the season. They may regret losing the 21-year-old Rodriguez who is a highly regarded prospect.
Some other deals that went down…
Brewers acquired OF Gerardo Parra from the Diamondbacks for OF Mitch Hanigar and LHP Anthony Banda.
Braves acquire INF-OF Emilio Bonifacio, LHP James Russell and cash from the Cubs for C Victor Caratini.
Mariners acquired OF Chris Denorfia from the Padres for OF Abraham Almonte and RHP Stephen Kohlscheen.
Athletics acquired OF Sam Fuld from the Twins for LHP Tommy Milone.
Surprisingly, or not, Alex Rios remained in Texas. Other players staying put, besides anyone in the Mets organization, are Marlon Byrd, Josh Willingham, Matt Kemp, and lets not forget Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez.
By my count, it's 12 trades, 37 players exchanged and two draft picks dealt on the single wildest deadline day anyone can remember. Awesome.

That's pretty much a wrap on what has been a busy, busy day.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Theodore Roosevelt's love of the country's natural beauty spurred him to create and conserve hundreds of national forests, parks and monuments during his presidency — but his legacy is being preserved digitally.
A devoted group of scholars and Roosevelt admirers in North Dakota has been scanning his papers and artifacts for years. Now the Theodore Roosevelt Center in Dickinson is finalizing a design for a library and museum commemorating the life of the 26th president. But unlike the presidential libraries that came before it, the library for the trust-busting president will feature a collection that is primarily digital.
Set on the edge of the North Dakota badlands, the officials hopes to commemorate Roosevelt's work and the land he loved.

Ricinus communis Intoxications in Human and Veterinary Medicine—A Summary of Real Cases
AbstractAccidental and intended Ricinus communis intoxications in humans and animals have been known for centuries but the causative agent remained elusive until 1888 when Stillmark attributed the toxicity to the lectin ricin. Ricinus communis is grown worldwide on an industrial scale for the production of castor oil. As by-product in castor oil production ricin is mass produced above 1 million tons per year. On the basis of its availability, toxicity, ease of preparation and the current lack of medical countermeasures, ricin has gained attention as potential biological warfare agent. The seeds also contain the less toxic, but highly homologous Ricinus communis agglutinin and the alkaloid ricinine, and especially the latter can be used to track intoxications. After oil extraction and detoxification, the defatted press cake is used as organic fertilizer and as low-value feed. In this context there have been sporadic reports from different countries describing animal intoxications after uptake of obviously insufficiently detoxified fertilizer. Observations in Germany over several years, however, have led us to speculate that the detoxification process is not always performed thoroughly and controlled, calling for international regulations which clearly state a ricin threshold in fertilizer. In this review we summarize knowledge on intended and unintended poisoning with ricin or castor seeds both in humans and animals, with a particular emphasis on intoxications due to improperly detoxified castor bean meal and forensic analysis.

"Hey! Where do you think your going?" Inuyasha called, seeing Kagome running near the well that connected their two worlds.
"My time... where else?" She replied evenly.
He snorted. "Why would you do that?"
"Tomorrow is my graduation ceremony. I was lucky enough to make to the end of the school year, I'm not going to miss this last moment with my friends." She replied before hopping down lightly in to the well.
He ran after her. He had no idea what this "graduation" thing was, but he knew that anything that had to do with her school, she felt she had to do.
He's asked her before why school was so important to her, but all that she said was that it was important to her future. When he asked what she meant by that, she smiled at him and told him not to worry about it. So of course, he'd worried about it nonstop ever since.
Inuyasha hopped in the well and out once he was back to her time. Huh, he thought, "back" to her time. He was used to being in this time with Kagome, that he had come to think of it as a sort of home away from home for himself.
He hopped up to the the tree that was placed so convienantly outside of her bedroom. He heard her in there and didn't feel like going through the front door. He pushed off from the tree and landed on the small balcony just outside her window and pried it open.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed. "What do you think your doing?!"
"Did you just expect me to let you come here without any protection, woman? As if..."
"I've already told you before, there is nothing that I need protection from, while I am here! It's entirly safe." She informed him, yet again, as she pulled on a strange, flowing yellow robe.
"Well, I also wasn't going to leave you... alone." Inuyasha stumbled over the sentence but made sure that he got the point across. He had finally started allowing himself to be soft around her, to open up. At least now that we are dating, he thought to himself, blissfully.
She glanced up at him and smiled, any sign of anger had dissapeared. "Well... I guess it would be nice to have you at my graduation ceremony. To have my boyfriend there." She said, with a flirtacious edge to her voice.
He grinned back at her and reached behind himself to grab and pull on the old baseball cap that had been hanging on her bedpost. The hat had once belonged Kagome's younger brother, Souta, but over many years of use, Souta had allowed Inuyasha to keep it as his own.
"I am so pruod of you, hunny." Kagome's mother hugged her as she walked away from her now graduated class.
"Thanks, mom. I can't believe I even passed, let alone got to graduate." She replied, giving her loving mother a gentle squeeze.
"Feh. Obviously you were gonna pass. You are smarter and stronger and know more than probably anyone in this room." Inuyasha reconsidered for a moment, then added, "Besides me of course."
She giggled a little at his huge ego, because she had known him long enough to know that it was just an act. When it was just the two of them, he was a big softie.
Kagome glanced around at her surroundings. She had been trying to spend more time her to pull her grades up enough to graduate. She had long since given up any thoughts of college but it seemed like a matter of pride to ensure that she graduated high school.
Kagome looked pleadingly at her hanyou.
"I was thinking about staying here for a few more days to catch up on some rest." The words were directed at her mother, but Kagome's pleading eyes never left Inuyasha's gaze.
"Feh," he replied. He would do whatever it took to make Kagome happy, even if it meant he had to stay in this strange time, that he had become to think of as a home.
Little slow, sorry! It will get better... please review!

Re: HD Disc Format War Not Over By a Long Shot
[Note to MODERATORS: You might want to have your webmaster figure out what has happened here - I deleted FOUR (4) posts that were identical to the one "bootman" is referring to and I sure as heck did not repost them.]
Now a question, "bootman:" Which alternative universe do you reside in where broadband speeds increase and prices DO NOT DROP?
Since day one of Broadband introduction here in the US, over time, speeds have significantly increased and prices have significantly dropped.
You need to re-read my post.
And please also re-read the comment from "deacongreg'" as well. He, like me, knows what he is talking about.
You will see 50 Mb downloads as part of a $100/month package in less than two years: I know for a fact Verizon will have this ready - They are now the largest Telco in the US with the most subscribers, so they will force other bundler's of Broadband and Video and Phone Service to follow them into the universe of higher speeds and lower prices.
Why? Because (1) They can do it; and (2) They have invested more in their Internet backbone and Internet infrastructure than anyone else. How many other comanies are running fibre to the home? You can count them on on just one hand and not use all your fingers.
I take it from your gloomy outlook the ISP you work for is not in a financial position to invest in their infrastructure and run fibre to your customer's homes.
So this means your company (1) Will have to borrow the money to do so itself (not likely in today's economy); or (2) You will have to ride someone else's network and accept a lower rate-of-return; or (3) Your company will become road-kill on the Information Superhighway and be acquired by someone with deeper pockets (The most likely scenario). Tell me, are you high enough up in the organization to have one of those "golden parachutes," or are you going to have to use the word "fries" in your next job?

Re: Not everyone wants to settle for less
When DSL was first introduced, it was not uncommon for many Telco's to charge Residential customers $50 to $80 a month for 1.5 Mb speeds and $30 to $40 a month for 256k to 384k speeds.
Now you can easily find 1.5 Mb for as low as $14.95 (Embarq, the former Sprint offers this, and Verizon is still offering this rate is some markets).
Same thing will happen with the 50 to 100 Mb speeds: They will be expensive for the early adapter, then the prices will drop and the higher speeds will be automatically added to your service as your service provider competes to keep you as a customer.
And you can always twist their arm and they will roll-over to keep you as a customer: I live in an Embarq area and pay $14.95/month for 1.5 DSL. When I called to cancel my service to switch to Charter's Broadband, I was offered a free upgrade to 5 Mb at no price increase and I didn't have to sign or agree to squat.
As for your comments about the price of bundles going up, it AIN'T GONNA' HAPPEN for SMART customers. My friend at Verizon tells me that yes, they plan to increase prices at the end of the two-year period, but they already have instructions to keep existing customers at their same rate if they ask for their service to be dropped. The regular service reps do not have access to the billing code that has to be inputted to do this, but the Customer Retention reps do.
That's why whenever you say, "Well, just cancel my service," you get switched to another customer service rep - You actually get switched to a customer service rep who can do a lot more for you than a regular service rep because they are a CUSTOMER RETENTION service rep and they get extra money for each customer they "SAVE," so they will be a lot more accomodating when you start telling them what they need to offer you to keep you. They have a LOT of leeway in what they can do for you and they don't have to get approval from no stinkin' supervisor: They are evaluated on their "SAVES" and dinged on their "LOSSES:" they are not dinged on what they had to give away to keep a customer. And I know what I'm talking about because I helped design some of these customer retention guidelines for Sprint/Embarq before I left them.
And if you're wondering why we or any Telco or good ISP does this, it is because we have numerous documented studies that prove it is significantly more profitable to retain an existing customer and NOT lose them than it is to hunt and gain a NEW customer. The last study I saw at Embarq showed it cost them about $400 to gain a new customer whilst there was no cost and a continuing revenue flow from keeping an existing customer. So ask yourself, what would you do to keep an existing customer? Yes, I thought so : )
So those who are sheep will pay the higher prices. Those who threaten to leave will be allowed to keep their bundle at their current price.
And you can believe I'll be on the phone again to Embarq tell them to "cancel" my service as soon as Charter has a significantly higher speed. And I know Embarq will roll-over again - They do NOT want to lose customers. And I am certain your ISP, if they are any good, does the same thing in their customer retention group. I'm only a "double-play" customer as Embarq only offers video via The Dish Network and I already had service with DISH and there was no financial incentive or advantage for me to roll my DISH service over to Embarq.
ISP's hate customers who do what I do, but they always cave and give us the higher speed with no cost increase or addition to our contract, if we even have one. It's called "Customer Retention."

Unusual Twilight Phenomena in Europe
Between August 21 and September 3, 2017, unusual twilight phenomena could be observed in widespread parts of Germany. In most cases, the sky turned into a bright yellow short after sunset. Some observers reported an increase of brightness when this yellow glow appeared. During the following 20 minutes, the colour changed into orange and later into red with the coloured part of the sky shrinking towards the western horizon. At the end, only a narrow red stripe directly above the horizon remained. Additionally, there was a very intense purple light even during the "orange phase". Many observers reported that the landscape also appeared in a bright yellow or orange coloured light.
At daytime, the sky appeared in a pale blue as if there was a layer of thin cirrostratus clouds. At low sun elevations, stripes and ripples appeared in this layer. Some observers felt reminded of noctilucent clouds by these structures.
In the mornings, these phenomena also appeared in reversed order.
Similar phenomena were also reported from observers in Austria, Hungary, the United Kingdom, Danmark and Iceland and showed up in several pictures by webcams in the Czech Republic.
More pictures and time lapses (e.g. 1–2) you can find in the Forum of "Arbeitskreis Meteore e.V.
These strange twilight phenomena were caused by the smoke of huge wildfires in Canada. The plumes of these fires ascended up to the stratosphere reaching altitudes of about 15 kilometres. Then they were transported over the Atlantic Ocean by the wind.
When travelling through the northeastern parts of the USA to observe the total solar eclipse which ocurred on August 21, Andreas Möller could take photographs of these plumes of smoke.

Third and fourth order rainbow
In the late afternoon of July the 7th 2017 there were strong thunderstorms in the area around Berlin, Germany. AKM member Andreas Möller was driving trough heavy rainfall, when suddenly the sun came out. His report:
On my way home, I could observe a beautiful bright primary and secondary rainbow. It was still raining heavily and my intension was to observe the area towards the sun. Therefore I turned into a side street and stopped in front of an old industrial area.
Location details:
- Ferdinand-Schultze-Straße 18, 13055 Berlin, Germany
- Weather: Strong rain
- Sun altitude: ~19°
- Date: 2017-07-07
- Time: 19:00 – 19:08 CEST
I took a lot of pictures in hope to get the third and fourth order rainbow. My equipment was a Nikon D750 with a Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 at 15mm. The rain was strong and I had problems cleaning my lens from waterdrops. Later at home, I started to process the pictures directly. Amazingly, I could discover the third and fourth order in almost all of the pictures I took.
The image processing did clearly point out a colorful third and fourth order rainbow.

- stack of 8 frames
- unsharp masking (USM)
- contrast and light adaption with Photoshop

Searching for Sub-Visual Atmospheric Structures in the Daytime Sky
On sunny, warm days the sun heats the Earth's surface and the air close to it. Periodically a parcel of air will rise from this area due to the warmed air being buoyant. This parcel is thought to rise in an elongated column of fairly large size such that several hundred tons of air are lofted skyward. In doing so many of the particles generated by Earth-bound processes (pollen, smoke, dust, pollution, water vapor, etc.) are brought with it. These particles are commonly known as aerosols. If the column reaches an altitude where the contained water vapor condenses then a cumulus cloud will form.
It is known that aerosols have a large effect on polarization of light, up to 30% or so. My first experiment in photographing these columns of air was to take 2 sequential photos of the sky with a linear polarization filter set to 90 degrees apart. Then in accordance with the article excerpt shown below and using an image processing program (Image Magik) I calculated the degree of linear polarization (DOLP) of each pixel from the formula given in the article. The resulting pictures are interesting and strange but do not show the expected structures.
I encourage others to make their own attempt at this goal as I am really a novice at image processing. No doubt there are many other ways of looking at this problem and I welcome all comments, thoughts and ideas. Thanks!
Excerpt from the article "Digital All-Sky Polarization Imaging of Partly Cloudy Skies" from Nathan J. Pust and Joseph A. Shaw
"It is our feeling that unseen aerosols and possibly thin clouds in what has recently been called the "twilight zone" between a cloud and the clear sky are reducing the DOLP in what appears to be clear sky. We believe that this effect on the sky polarization is directly related to the recently described observations of enhanced optical depth near clouds. In partially cloudy skies, we see DOLP reductions in clear sky areas between clouds that appear to be caused by subvisual aerosols and/or clouds. (Even though clouds appear to have hard edges, they are in fact surrounded by thin clouds.) Furthermore, these DOLP reductions show up in the clear sky long before we can physically see clouds in the sky."
To determine Degree of Linear Polarization (DOLP) in each pixel he uses this formula:
(Image1pixel value – Image2pixelvalue) / (Image1pixel value + Image2pixelvalue)
Then he normalizes and stretches the result so it fills the whole 8 bit range of 0 to 255 pixel brightness values.
Some of my resulting pictures:

Green-rimmed cloud at sunrise
On June 14th, 2014, I could observe green flamelets at the upper rim of an altocumulus cloud from Mt. Zugspitze (2963 m above sea level). The cloud was located left from the rising sun, and the phenomenon lasted from two minutes before the visible sunrise until shortly after it. At the moment of the astronomical sunrise the green flamelets at the cloud vanished. Additionally, green and blue rims appeared at the sun's disk (see pictures 1 – 2).
I already observed a similar phenomenon a few seconds after sunset on September 24th, 2013, from Mt. Zugspitze. However, I could only take a single photograph of it. As there were seemingly no other reports about green cloud rims I decided to let the matter rest at that time. It was only after the second occurrence that I re-visited the case of the older observation.
When doing a new search for similar reports I encountered an observation from by Robert Wagner, January 7th, 2008, who also recorded green cloud rims during sunset on La Palma (2136 m above sea level).
No other documented observations could be found on the internet so far.
We cannot offer a complete explanation yet. It may be that the cloud edge, when illuminated from behind, acts as a separate light source and the green flamelets are then caused by the refractive dispersion of a weak mirage effect. This is consistent with the presence of blue and green rims at the sun, which indeed have been observed in all three cases. Furthermore, all observations were carried out from high mountains, from where the true geographic horizon already lies below zero elevation, and even the ordinary elevation shift due to refraction is already pretty high due to the long light path through the atmosphere.
More ideas and reports of similar observations are welcome in any case.

Edit 21th March, 2017:
I would like to add a video to this article, in which I was record the green rimmed clouds on the Mt. Fichtelberg/Ore Mountains on 20-12-2016.
Gloridescent clouds
As "Gloridescence" I define colored clouds in the antisolar area, where there is no visible connection to a glory.
The first observation of colored clouds at the antisolar point was made by Stefan Rubach on Mt. Großer Arber at Jan. 26, 2007. We suspected fragments of a glory, but we were not sure.
On Nov. 18, 2007, I made the first observation of my own and on Mar. 1, 2010 my second observation at Mt. Wendelstein (1835m).
At Mt. Zugspitze (2963m) I observed these colored clouds a few times and named them "gloridescent clouds" (and so far no one ever challenged this name).
On Apr. 25, 2015 I made my first observation of "gloridescent clouds" at Mt. Fichtelberg (1215m). Meanwhile we received more observations, one from the valley of Neckar river, one photo by Eva Beatrix Bora from Stavanger, Norway and some from an aircraft (1 – 2). From these we conclude that:
- Just as glories become more frequent with increasing observing levels (see this article), the frequency of "Gloridescence" also increases.
- At lower altitudes (i.e. in the area of low clouds), "Gloridescence" originates mainly from underneath of stratocumulus clouds.
- At higher mountains (e.g. Zugspitze, 2963m) and on airplanes, "gloridescent clouds" are more frequent and appear mainly in deeper cloud layers or single shreds of clouds.
Author: Claudia Hinz, Schwarzenberg, Germany
Frequency of glories from different observation levels
The combination of spectre of Brocken with glory and fog bow is named after the German Brocken mountain, even though it cannot be observed there too often. My colleagues from the weather station estimated a frequency of 2 or 3 observations per year at the top of the mountain. The phenomena much more frequently observed at higher mountains.
Since there is no reliable statistics about the frequency of Glories to date, I tried to obtain some tendencies from my own observations on various mountain tops.
I observed at three different mountain tops where I worked for a longer amount of time:
- Mount Fichtelberg, Ore mountains, 1214m (similar height as Mt. Brocken)
- Mount Wendelstein, Alps, 1838m (standalone rock)
- Mount Zugspitze, Alps, 2963m (main mountain chain of the Alps)
Fichtelberg I observed most frequently in the early morning hours without interferences. On Mt. Wendelstein the Glories often long duration phenomena, sometimes very colorful with impressive interferences. On top of Mt. Zugspitze the Glory was visible at every solar altitude, in most cases long duration, with impressive interferences an colors.
I tried to capture the frequency of glory statistically. Since I could not look at the same time periods, the statistics is an approximation.
These observations lead to the following conclusions:
- The frequency of glories increases with altitude (at my observing sites the number of glories increased by a factor of three for every 1000m altitude)
- The higher the altitude of the observation point, the more impressive are the glories! With increasing altitude of the cloud, the size of the droplet in the clouds decreases and interferences become more frequent. Because the smaller and more uniform the droplet size, the more impressive becomes the glory (Simulation of Les Cowley). In the best case, the glory transforms into interferences of a cloud bow.
- The duration of the phenomenon increases with the altitude, too. If the local conditions allow observations well below the horizon, the glory is possible at every solar altitude.

Binary double rainbows
In past years I have done spot light rainbows when the rain was a fine mist. After seeing the results of a nice fog bow my LED flashlight made and since I had two I thought why don't I try doing two at once. So I turned both lights on the hi-power mode which yielded a very bright beam of light and both lights were placed on fence posts 2 meters apart. I angled the lights so the beams crossed and at the point where they crossed is where I placed the camera. I took a shot was blown away by the results! There it was two full circle double rainbows crossing one another. I took quite a few shots before I was getting chill and wet. Just think if you landed on an Earth like exo-planet orbiting a binary star system and upon exiting your space craft you look up and see twin suns shining above then you hear a rumble of thunder. You retreat into your ship for shelter and later the storm moves on but its still raining but you look on the opposite side of the sky and see two double rainbows displaced a few degrees apart and the bows would cross one another. These flashlight binary double rainbows show how rainbows would look to civilizations living on Earth like Exo-planets orbiting double, triple, or even quadruple star systems. Next time I will use 3 and 4 LED flashlights. On the nights I was doing these bows the wind was blowing and I could see the primary bow in particular would move from side to side and one pic even shows that it could be twinned!!!

Commonly spread Ice Wool
On February 2nd, 2016, we made an excursion to the Anna Tower together with my daughter´s form. The Anna Tower is located in the Deister hills, a small range of hills at about 20 kilometres southwest of Hanover. Its highest elevation ist Mt Bröhn near the Anna Tower with about 405 metres above sea level. We startet from the Nienstädter Pass at 277 metres above sea level. The car park there is covered with gravel and normally rather muddy, but that day it was frozen and hoar frost glittered everywhere. When we startet our excursion, the weather was bright and sunny. But as soon as we left the car park, I noticed a fibrous thing of brilliant white just beside the path which leads along the top of the range. At first sight, it looked like a sheared piece of wool from a sheep. But for me it was clear what it was: ice wool!
Up to then, I knew ice wool only from descriptions, and although I had been looking for it for years everytimes there was a light frost, I never found some. And now I found it right beside the path, without having searched for it! After having given others a hint on that phenomenon and explaining it, I took some photographs and then continued my way – slowly and even slower, because there were more and more tree branches which showed ice wool. After having found 10 of these ice wool formations, I roughly counted them, but when I reached 50, I stopped counting. It made no sense, because there was too much. I found a place where at least 20 branches and twigs with ice wool laid around. Not every ice wool formation was well defined, but there were also some very bizarre ones among them!
I arrived at the Anna Tower about one hour delayed. The weather was nice, but it was not really clear. There was a distinct inversion with a pronounced layer of mist, but without any mirages. I think, for this the hill is not high enough. (At really clear conditions you can see Mt Brocken in the east and the Porta Westfalica in the west from the Anna Tower).
Three weeks later, on February 27, I succeeded in finding ice wool at the Nienstädter Pass again. This time I was prepared better and brought a retro adapter to make macro photographs. Thus it was possible to take detailed pictures of the ice wool. Some parts of it had structures which reminded of chains of bacilli. Other parts just looked like shiny and transparent hair. The augmentation effect of the lens with retro adapter was not strong enough to unravel the structures here.
Background information:
Ice wool is a physical and biological phenomenon which mainly appears on rotten and decayed wood in deciduous forest with mixed types of trees. It forms hairy ice curls of a brilliant white which remind of candyfloss. Sometimes it looks like paintbrushs with the uppermost parts cut away, others look like wool from a sheep, others remind of minerals or lichen. And sometimes it looks just like a thrown away paper tissue and is often mixed up with this from the distance. But it has always this hairy and cristalline structure which sometimes looks like chains or if it was covered with sugar.
Ice wool is caused by the activity of funguses which decompose rotten wood. During this process, water is set free which gets out of the dead wood through capillaries and freezes at temperatures around or slightly below 0 °C, forming these hairy ice structures. This works as long as the wood itself does not freeze. Contrary to hoar frost crystals, ice wool is formed by liquid water from the wood freezing outside while the atmosphere is not involved. It is not long ago that the process could really be clarified.
Ideal conditions for the formation of ice wool are given when after a period of mild weather with (light) rain the sky clears off at night allowing frost on the ground. So, when you have to scratch the ice off your car windows, there is also a chance of encountering ice wool in the forests. It can be found from October until the beginning of March, except during very cold periods. Best places to find ice wool are under oak and beech trees and maybe also under some larches. Other conifers are not suitable.
But you also need some good luck when looking for ice wool, just as it normally is not wide spread. Similar to the appearing of mushrooms and toadstools, there seem to be good and bad years. Even if the conditions may apparently be perfect, you will not automatically find ice wool. Locations also seem to play an important role as I could see for myself a short time ago. While ice wool was rather abundant up there along the path on the top of the range, I could not find any of it in the Deister forest near my home, although the tree population there is not very different from that at the Nienstädter Pass. Also here lots of branches and twigs in all stages of rotting are lying around, but there is not a single trace of ice wool to be found.

Olea europaea pollen corona
During the days of the 12th Light & Color in nature meeting (May 31st-June 3rd, 2016) in Granada, Spain, I noticed almost constantly a diffuse aureole around the sun, appearing against the background of a clear sky:
previous picture unsharp masked
All photos were cropped to a common viewing angle of 15° x 15° and the color saturation was increased.
Because of the dry and often cloudless summer weather we had back then, it seems unlikely that any kind of water drops did cause the phenomenon. On the other hand, the angular radius was way too small for Bishop's ring, which at first seemed to be a plausible option as we had observed some haze towards Africa shortly before our plane landed in Malaga on May 30th.
No pronounced color pattern was visible to the naked eye, nor through a gray filter, but the saturation increase in the image processing revealed a typical corona structure with alternating colors. Thinking of pollen as possible scattering particles, the large amount of olive trees (olea europaea) in Andalusia immediately comes to mind. Furthermore, we witnessed ourselves that the olive trees were blooming these days when we visited a grove at Monachil in the vicinity of Granada – some of the visitors' shirts or backpacks got covered with green dust after coming too close to the trees.
The olive grove at Monachil with the Sierra Nevada in the background (June 2nd, 2016)
A blooming olive twig from a tree in this grove (June 2nd, 2016, photographed by Hironobu Iwabuchi)
In order to check this hypothesis I looked up the shape and size of olive pollen: They are almost spherical with a mean polar diameter of 20.1 µm and mean equatorial diameter of 21.5 µm. For most of the observations, the sun elevation was high enough to simply approximate the pollen as spheres of 21.5 µm in size. I calculated the resulting corona from the solar spectrum using simple diffraction theory (which at this particle sizes is justified):
Both the photograph and the simulation (right hand side) were cropped to a field of view of 10° x 10°. For the simulation, I assumed a relative spread in the pollen size (standard deviation of a Gaussian distribution divided by the mean diameter) of 15%, convoluted the result with the sun's disk and added a gray background. It matches the photograph quite well, though the contrast of the natural corona remains lower than that of the simulation. Maybe there were other scattering particles with a broader size distribution present, which added another, rather colorless aureole "layer" on top of the pollen corona, thereby diminishing its contrast. Surprisingly, I could not find any previous reports about "olive pollen coronae", though the phenomenon should be quite prominent during the right season in the olive-growing regions.

In 2014, Harald Edens reported ten cases of photographically detected natural quinary rainbows, recorded during 2009-2013 in New Mexico, USA, at altitudes of 1.8-3.2 km. These and some newer observations can also be found on his website.
So far, no reports from other locations have been published. In the German observers' network, we analyzed many candidate photographs showing bright primary and secondary rainbows, but from most of them no reliable traces of quinary rainbows could be extracted. Such analyses are not easy, as the quinary signal is weak compared to the neighboring secondary rainbow, and processing methods such as unsharp masking can cause a leakage of colors into Alexander's dark band. Furthermore, the processing operator will experience disturbing afterimage issues from the intense renditions of the primary and secondary on the screen after a couple of minutes.
Despite these difficulties, we now believe that we have identified three cases of genuine quinary rainbows. In cases 1 and 3, the quinary could be extracted from several photographs. Nonetheless, in order to keep this blogpost brief, we restricted ourselves to show only one image (or the results from one polarization series in case 1) per observation. We chose a straightforward processing method (= only increasing contrast and saturation, no local filtering such as unsharp masks) similar to the one applied by Harald Edens to allow for an easier comparison with his results. Alternative processing routes will be presented at a later stage.
1) April 22nd, 2012, near Göttingen, Germany (51° 31' N, 9° 58' E, altitude 250 m), 19:16 CEST, sun elevation 10.2°, photographed by Frank Killich after a moderate shower
The original intention of Frank Killich was to use the primary and secondary rainbows as test objects for a home-built photopolarimetric setup made from a Canon 20D camera and a linear polarizer precisely rotatable by a stepper motor. By recording four successive images at polarizer positions of 0°, 45°, 90° and 135° with respect to the vertical, it is possible to reconstruct the first three components of the Stokes vector for each viewing direction (pixel coordinates) and color channel (red, green, blue) individually. These images can be numerically combined to reconstruct the unpolarized intensity (= the ordinary photographic result without a polarizer) and, moreover, the linearly polarized portion of the recorded light distribution (= the total intensity with the unpolarized background removed for each pixel). In the case of rainbows, this corresponds effectively to a subtraction of the radial (weak) component from the azimuthal (strong) polarization component equally all along the visible part of the circumference. As known from theory, also the quinary will be easier to detect in such a polarization contrast image.
Unpolarized intensity as calculated from the original images, f = 22 mm:
Unpolarized intensity, increased saturation and contrast:
Linearly polarized portion as calculated from the original images:
Linearly polarized portion, increased saturation and contrast:
The expected broad bands of green and blue are clearly visible in the processed linearly polarized portion picture, and might be slightly visible also in the unpolarized intensity.
The other two photographic observations were carried out without any polarizers, i.e. only the unpolarized intensity information is available in these cases.
2) March 20th, 2013, near Pforzheim, Germany (48° 56' N, 8° 36' E, altitude 312 m), 16:21 CET, sun elevation 21.1°, photographed by Michael Großmann after an intense shower
Original (Canon EOS 450D, f = 22 mm):
Increased saturation and contrast:
A slight green/blue hue is visible inside the secondary at and slightly above the horizon.
3) May 15th, 2016, Mt. Zschirnstein, Germany (50° 51' N, 14° 11' E, altitude 560 m), 19:57 CEST, sun elevation 6.2°, photographed by Alexander Haußmann after a moderate shower
A description of this observation (without discussing the quinary rainbow) can be found here. The images shown here are cropped from a fisheye photograph.
Original (Pentax K-5, f= 17 mm, cropped):
Increased saturation and contrast:
Again, a slight green/blue hue appears close to the horizon.
At this point it is of course not possible to draw any statistical conclusions about the frequency of detectable quinary rainbows. However, it seems worthwile that every rainbow observer re-examines his photographical treasure trove for previously overlooked rarities, even if no polarizer enhancement was involved during photographing.

Continuing Education: Graduate Student ACCESS Survey, Fall 2004
The Graduate Student ACCESS Survey was designed by the Division of Continuing Education and the Graduate School to collect data that could be used in improving the transition program for students moving from ACCESS to graduate school. A web-based questionnaire, consisting of multiple-choice and open-ended response items, was administered in November 2004 to currently enrolled degree-seeking graduate students with valid email addresses who had taken any ACCESS courses within the last three years. Students who requested a privacy flag on their records were not included in the population.
To encourage students to respond, an opportunity to win one of four $250 scholarships was offered to those who completed the web-based questionnaire by November 18, 2004. A total of 103 students responded, for an overall response rate of 35%. Response rates over sub-populations varied considerably.
In addition to results for the entire population results are provided by gender, class level, and college. A list of all open-ended responses is also provided. These are organized by questionnaire item, college, and class level.

Obama signs bill providing funds for North Carolina to protect land
FRANKLIN, NC — President Obama signed legislation last week that will be used to purchase private land and give the public access to a gorgeous waterfall in Pisgah National Forest. The funding will also be used to expand the Uwharrie National Forest, give North Carolinians more fishing and hiking opportunities and protect wildlife habitat.
"Because of this funding, there is finally public access to Catawba Falls," said Brent Martin, a conservationist in The Wilderness Society's North Carolina office. "Western North Carolina hasn't received land funding for almost 15 years, so it's a pretty big deal for us."
A partnership comprised by The Land Trust for Central North Carolina, Foothills Land Conservancy and The Wilderness Society helped make this possible. Rep. Heath Shuler (D-11th), Rep. David Price (D-4th), Rep. Howard Coble (R-6th) and Senator Kay Hagen (D-NC) also pushed hard for access to the waterfall and the additional land in Uwharrie National Forest.
Jason Walser, the executive director for the Land Trust for Central North Carolina, said waterfalls are a "shared cultural heritage for North Carolinians" as the state has several dozen remarkable falls.
Now that Obama has approved the funding, nonprofit organizations such as the Trust for Public Land and The Nature Conservancy will work with the federal government to acquire the land.
Below are details from the new legislation that fully explain the benefits for the people of North Carolina.
- Pisgah National Forest: Located on the major highway to the Blue Ridge Mountains and western North Carolina, the tourism from the waterfall will help economic development of Old Fort and McDowell County. Additionally, the project will protect the high water quality of the Catawba River and open its pristine trout waters to anglers.
- King Mountain/Uwharrie Tract: King Mountain is the highest point in the Uwharrie National Forest. The protection of the King Mountain property will provide a vital link in the historic Uwharrie National Recreational Trail. Filling in the gaps in the Uwharrie Trail will protect significant wildlife species, provide for recreational opportunities, and maintain a scenic view in this rapidly developing area. Located in the Barnes Creek and Poison Fork watershed, the property hosts rare and endangered mussels, a Piedmont Monadnock Forest, as well as a federally endangered plant, the Schweinitz's Sunflower and a state rare species, Piedmont Indigo Bush.

Perfect as a snack with red wine, these supremely cheesy and crusty little muffins have shredded cheddar folded into the rich batter and sprinkled on top. If miniature food is not your thing, you can also use this recipe to make 12 standard-size muffins and bake them for about 20 to 22 minutes.
Total Time:
Level: Moderate
Yield: 3 dozen mini muffins
- 1 c. buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1¼ c. all-purpose flour
- ½ c. yellow cornmeal
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. each of baking soda and sugar
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 2 tbsp. Chopped chives
- 2 tbsp. Spanish green olives
- 1¼ c. shredded farmstead cheddar cheese
- 6 tbsp. unsalted butter
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line three 12-cup mini-muffin tins with paper or foil liners. Alternatively, lightly butter and flour the cups, tapping out any excess flour.
- In a small bowl, whisk the buttermilk with the egg. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with the cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Whisk in the chives and olives and 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar. Add the buttermilk mixture and the melted butter; stir just until moistened. Spoon the batter into the prepared tins and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Bake the muffins for about 16 minutes, or until golden. Let cool in the tins for 10 minutes before serving.

Companies Where Women Thrive: Sperry Van Ness
Bentley's PreparedU Project will periodically present profiles of companies that are helping themselves by helping women to thrive. Here, Diane Danielson, COO of Sperry Van Ness International Corporation, discusses how her organization advocates for gender balance in leadership.
Commercial real estate can be a tough industry to break into if you're a woman. It's a traditional, conservative market sector where 80 percent of professionals are white men with an average age of 57. But Kevin Maggiacomo, the 41-year-old president and CEO of Sperry Van Ness, decided to disrupt this status quo, not only by ensuring gender equity on his own team and in his C-suite, but by launching the grassroots 50/50 by 2020 initiative to advocate "healthy gender balance in leadership." Not just in real estate, but across all industries.
In this 2013 TEDx Talk, Maggiacomo spoke more about the role unconscious bias and institutionalization formerly played within his own hiring practices, and why he decided to change the culture at SVN to be more collaborative and gender neutral.
"Our growth strategy now brings a tremendous amount of honest intentionality to diversifying our organization, which gives women and minorities a strong sense of belonging," Maggiacomo said by email. "It's the right thing to do and the business case for gender balance is rock solid … not simply good marketing."
Part of this growth strategy for gender balanced, "creative, innovative, and diverse talent" included recruiting Diane Danielson as his COO in 2012.
"I've worked at a lot of companies in this industry and this is the first one that really walks the walk," Danielson said. "We have a diverse executive team: under 50 years old, female, even two South Pacific Islanders (one would be me) in leadership roles. Of the 15 new hires this year in our Chicago franchise, seven were women and two were minorities. Our top salesperson for 2013 was under 30."
Much like the 79 percent of male and 89 percent of female respondents in our PreparedU study, both Kevin and Diane are personally invested in helping women in their workplace succeed. So, we sat down with Danielson to find out firsthand what makes SVN a company where women thrive.

Bentley: Why is SVN one of the best places to work?
DD: Commercial real estate is based on results. If you're a woman and you're getting results, people take notice. We treat everyone equal and as grownups. It's in the work and not the hours logged. Everyone pitches in and works all hours when needed, but if they have something during the day like picking their kids up at 2:00 p.m., or going to checkups like one of our guys who has 1-year-old twins, that's encouraged. I applaud them for finding that balance. People can have families and still do great work and do well in business.
Bentley: How do you help female and male employees with the learning curve?
DD: We have boot camps and trainings, and we've seen a trickle-down effect from gender-balanced leadership, but we don't treat people differently. The women who make it in this industry make it really big because they work harder. When it's based on the numbers, it's not subjective. At other companies we've had to develop special programs for women, but here it's so equal that it's not an issue. It's refreshing to just focus on doing the work.
Bentley: How do you mentor, inspire confidence, and encourage your female employees to succeed?
DD: One of the first things I do with my female employees is encourage them to think bigger. Sure, they might be in this role now, but they won't always be, and I tell them what they need to do to get to the next level. I assume that my marketing director will be a CMO, and maybe because I assume it then she dreams bigger.
Bentley: Do you promote networking or other initiatives that specifically contribute to the professional development of women?
DD: Because it's so results driven, we tend to get natural networkers. Before I came to SVN, I was the founder of the first social network for businesswomen called the Downtown Women's Club. CREW (Commerical Real Estate Women) is where I now encourage our female employees to network, and we show all our employees how networking can increase sales. I mean, if you don't have 500+ connections on LinkedIn, why should we even hire you for a sales role?
Bentley: What kinds of things does SVN do to help women like you succeed?
DD: Kevin shares the stage. I've never met anyone with less of an ego who deserves to have an ego. He wants gender-balanced leadership, and you do that by not keeping your female executives in a back office. You do that by putting your women out there, in front of the public, at conferences and in front of the board. We hire people who are comfortable being the face of the company and we want it to look different from the rest of the industry.
Bentley: What can other companies could learn from your experiences about hiring, employing and/or retaining women?
DD: You can't just talk the talk. At the other 20 leading firms, other than two that have one female chief HR officer or one chief legal officer, it's very clear we're unique. We added our first woman to the board last year and are in the process of adding a second. Look at your marketing materials. Do they say: "Only older white guys need apply here?" You may have institutional barriers to recruiting. We've spent the money and time to actively reach out and make our team the one we want.
