Walnut/Distributed Computing/Naming conventions
From Erights
Naming conventions
In the examples up to this point we have been using a number of naming conventions. Here are some common conventions.
car -- an object that you can treat as a near object, using immediate calls or eventual sends as you wish.
carVow -- a car that will be near, available for immediate calls, once you resolve the vow inside a when-catch clause.
carRcvr -- a car that must be treated as a remote object, spoken to only with eventual sends, never with immediate calls, because although it might sometimes be a near car, it can also be remote, and only eventual sends are safe. As noted earlier, another way of denoting that a car may be remote is to use the ":rcvr" guard.
getCar(licensePlate) -- a function or a method that returns a local car (local to the object implementing getCar)
getCarVow(licensePlate) -- a function or a method that returns a vow for a car, not the car itself. If you are calling this method on a local object, once you resolve the vow, the car is local.
getCarRcvr (licensePlate) -- This method returns a car which the author of the method has reason to believe may be a remote car. Consequently, it is a warning that you should only interact with the returned object with eventual sends.
getCarVow(licensePlateVow, titlePapersRcvr) -- this method explicitly names the parameters licensePlateVow and titlePapersRcvr. Whereas the suffixes Vow and Rcvr are warnings when used in a method or variable name (warnings to avoid the use of immediate calls), when used as parameter suffixes they are commitments. In this example, the developer of the getCarVow method is making the commitment to users of the method that he will not make immediate calls on the licensePlate until he has resolved the plate in a when-catch block. And he is making the commitment that he will only interact with the titlePapers using eventual sends. In general, if at least one of the parameters for a method is either a Vow or a Rcvr, the method itself cannot return a near object: if the method must wait on eventual sends to gather the info to return an object, it cannot reasonably return the object immediately. No doubt, however, someone reading this will be the first person to invent a situation that breaks this general rule. We congratulate you in absentia.
makeCar (name) -- a carMaker that is local, can be immediately called, and makes cars that can be immediately called.
makeCarVow (name) -- an object maker like a carMaker, but which is dependent on construction that may only resolve eventually, so it can only send you a promise for the car.
makeCarRcvr(name) -- a local carMaker that may make the car on a remote system, and therefore the cars should be treated as Rcvrs.
carMakerRcvr(name) -- a carMaker that may itself be on a remote system, that should only be spoken to with eventual sends. Rather than having a very wordy term for remote Makers that make remote cars (which are local to the Maker), since such a Maker is almost always going to create cars that you must treat as Rcvrs, we use carMakerRcvr to also designate makers that we might be tempted to name "carRcvrMakerRcvr". This name, carMakerRcvr, is a first and only example you will see here of the more generalized naming convention used when constructors and authorizers and rcvrs are interrelated in a complex way. Rather than depending on a prefix that might refer to any chunk of the name, we stack up the descriptions as suffixes. Multiple levels of constructors and authorizers play an important role in achieving E's security goals, so while these complicated structures are uncommon in most of the code in a system, there are likely to be a few parts in a secure system where such naming conventions play a role.

نشریه انگلیسی زبان دیفنس نیوز از به توافق رسیدن ایران و امارات بر سر مناقشه جزایر سه گانه خبر داد. در این لینک:
UAE, Iran Reach Accord on Disputed Hormuz Islands
The United Arab Emirates and Iran have reached an agreement on the three disputed islands near the Strait of Hormuz, according to a high level UAE source.
According to the source, UAE and Iranian officials have engaged in secretive talks with the help of the Omani government over the past six months.
"A deal has been reached and finalized on the Greater and Lesser Tunbs," the source said. "For now, two of the three islands are to return to the UAE while the final agreement for Abu Musa is being ironed out."
"Iran will retain the sea bed rights around the three islands while the UAE will hold sovereignty over the land," he said. "Oman will grant Iran a strategic location on Ras Musandam mountain, which is a very strategic point overlooking the whole gulf region.
"In return for Ras Musandam, Oman will receive free gas and oil from Iran once a pipeline is constructed within the coming two years."
The source added that Oman's role will be important in the next chapter.
"Oman was given the green light from Iran and the US to reach deals that would decrease the threat levels in the region and offset the Saudi Arabian influence in the future by any means," he said.
The agreement was finalized on Dec. 24, the source said, during the visit of Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, Abu Dhabi crown prince and deputy supreme commander of the UAE Armed Forces, with Sultan Qaboos bin Said of Oman.
The strategically located islands of Abu Musa and the Greater and Lesser Tunbs are close to the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most important oil chokepoint. The islands were occupied by Iran's Shah Mohammad Reza Pehlavi less than 48 hours before the declaration in 1971 of the establishment of the United Arab Emirates.
The largest of the three Islands, Abu Musa, had been under joint administration of the emirate of Sharjah and Iran, while the Greater and Lesser Tunbs belonged to the emirate of Ras al Khaimah, according to official UAE records.
Last year, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Command inaugurated a naval base on Abu Musa. The source stated that the Iranian military on Abu Musa has already started to stand down.
"They are in the process of destroying their bunkers on the island," he said.
Furthermore, a senior US military official in December said that Iran has redeployed a squadron of Su-25 jet fighters off Abu Musa.
After the announcement of the P5+1 interim nuclear deal, UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed visited Tehran to discuss the islands issue, the source said. Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif came to Abu Dhabi the following week to meet with UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahyan and other senior leaders to further cement an agreement, he said.
The source added that there is a fear of a violent backlash in Iran to the deal.
Ali Vaez, senior Iran analyst for the International Crisis Group, said he is skeptical of the news.
"[Iranian] President [Hassan] Rouhani is in a fragile domestic situation as a result of hardline criticism of his conciliatory nuclear approach and outreach to the United States," he said. "Under these circumstances, any move perceived as undermining the country's sovereignty could turn into the last straw that breaks the Rouhani administration's back."
However, he said the Iranian government is genuinely seeking to improve its ties with its neighbors, and such a move has to be green-lighted by the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
"Such foreign policy agenda requires the supreme leader's blessing for its implementation," Vaez said. "But neither the Rouhani administration nor Khamenei would accept to capitulate to the demands of their neighbors for the sake of having a better relationship with them."
During Foreign Minister Zarif's visit in December, an invitation was extended to UAE's president Vice President Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid to visit Tehran. Earlier this week during an interview on BBC, Bin Rashid stated that he is for the lifting of the US-imposed sanctions on Iran and was in favor of bridging the gap between the two countries.
Before sanctions were imposed in 2007, trade between the UAE and Iran was valued between 36.7 billion dirhams and 44.1 billion dirhams (US $10 billion to $12 billion), according to the Iranian Business Council in Dubai. US Secretary of State John Kerry in November said that after the introduction of tougher sanctions in 2012, trade has dropped to a record low of $4 billion.

But according to the U.S. District Attorney, the public was never in danger as the bomb was actually made of inert explosives provided to 21-year-old Quaszi Mohammed Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis by an undercover FBI agent.
According to a criminal complaint filed in a Brooklyn court Wednesday afternoon, Nafis traveled to the U.S. from Bangladesh in January of this year for the purpose of conducting a terrorist attack.
Once in the country, Nafis sought out al-Qaeda contacts. However, one of the contacts he made turned out to be an FBI informant.
As Nafis planned his attack, an undercover FBI agent began working with him and eventually supplied him with 20 50-pound bags of what Nafis thought were explosives.
On Wednesday morning, Nafis met the undercover agent at a warehouse and drove to the Federal Reserve, where he parked the van and walked to a nearby hotel. Once there, Nafis recorded a video meant to be released after the attack in which he said "We will not stop until we attain victory or martyrdom."
Nafis then attempted to detonate the bomb using a cell phone device the undercover agent helped him build.
Throughout the morning, law enforcement officials monitored Nafis, even making sure that he wouldn't be stopped by counterterrorism units active in Lower Manhattan. He was arrested shortly after the failed attempt.
"The defendant thought he was striking a blow to the American economy. He thought he was directing confederates and fellow believers," said United States Attorney Loretta Lynch. "At every turn he was wrong."
If convicted, Nafis faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.

The quick eyes of Setu at Woikr.com (no doubt helped by being there just in time) has revealed a new face of Flipkart. It seems that the Indian e-retail store is opening a digital distribution service for music, called "Flyte". While the exact facts of the music store are yet to be revealed, the household online retail name wants to take up as much of the untapped market share of ecommerce as is possible in India. Considering that the brand is trusted, it would be nice to see digital music sales pick up in India which has long been known to be a pirate island.
Flipkart had acquired Mime360, a Mumbai based company that specialized in hosting streaming music for Indian labels such as Saregama, Universal Music and others. This, coupled with the fact that Flipkart had acquired rights to Chakpak.com's huge digital catalog, obviously points out to the launch of this music (and hopefully movies) digital distribution platform.
The biggest clincher of the entire episode would be the pricing scheme decided upon by Flipkart. To satisfy the Indian wallet, they must price it evenly at about Rs. 15 to Rs. 20 per song, offering discounts and the like to newly released albums and movies. From what had transpired on the Twitter account, it seems that the songs will definitely be 320kbps DRM free (!), and that an eBook store with ePub files will be implemented in the "near future". (You must know that by now I have a ":D" face)
@slackerninja All mp3s DRM free, 90% of the catalog at 320kbps (as opposed to 256kbps). The industry has matured… @failgunner @udayvirgarg
— Flipkart (@Flipkart) February 22, 2012
@Failgunner mp3, imminent future. ePub, near future. @slackerninja @udayvirgarg
— Flipkart (@Flipkart) February 22, 2012
Of course, the success of this entire venture depends on the end user. I am sure Flipkart has thought this decision through, but everything depends upon the non-pirating customer who believes that music actually carries a price and that the royalty money helps the musicians make more music. I really hope this works out for Flipkart and that a video game digital distribution with Indian prices starts up there!

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury's Will Smith saw an opening to bring more music into the community and took it, because he believes it is important to everyone to have music in their lives.
"It brings the community together and it's just very good, especially for a place like Middlebury that doesn't have much live music outdoors," he said. "It's a very quiet town and I want to get something going here."

"He was not charged in relation to the Forest Park incident," said Kevin Ryan, spokesperson for the Queens District Attorney's office.
It was around 9:25 p.m. on March 29 when the alleged attacker used a stun gun to debilitate a woman as she was jogging through the park. She was later taken to an area hospital for injuries sustained to her neck. A couple walking their dog distracted the assaulter who later fled from the scene.
While police detained Richard Kassebaum, 43, who was originally thought to have been the perpetrator, he was in fact tied to another sex assault on Sunday March 31 at a nearby laundromat on Woodhaven Boulevard and 86th Street at 4:45 a.m.
The Queens D.A. later confirmed that prosecution against Kassebaum has been deferred for the Forest Park incident. However, "He is being charged with sexual abuse at the laundromat," Ryan said.
The 102nd Precinct are still searching for a white male between the ages of 35 and 40, medium build and last seen wearing a gold hoop earing, navy blue sweatshirt, navy blue track pants with reddish/brown hair and facial hair over the weekend.
Councilwoman Karen Koslowitz said the attack should raise cognizance in the neighborhood.
"We have to make sure that everybody is aware that it's happening and they have to use special precaution," Koslowitz said. "Be aware of your surroundings."
Anyone with information regarding this incident are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), submit tips at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or by texting their tips to 24637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

During the final week of June in the Palmetto State, the health of a large majority of state residents was likely greatly impacted.
For sure there was sleep deprivation, not to mention some rising stress levels and skipping heartbeats.
S.C. Sen. John Courson (R-Richland County), who noted he takes blood pressure medication, said another night might likely had done him in. He added quite likely the next day would have brought a vacant senate seat in the state legislature.
We really don't need the temperature, heat index and ozone forecast to tell us it's hot. All we have to do is step outside and get slapped with heat and humidity.
Weather forecasters could just hit rewind each morning for the next couple of months. But that is to be expected because it is summer – the time of the year that allows us to do so much of what we love to do outdoors – play ball, swim, camp, cook out and much, much more.
The United States of America will celebrate its 235th birthday on the Fourth of July. And since Independence Day falls on a Monday this year, most of us will have a long weekend to enjoy the federal holiday.
The midsummer holiday commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring America's independence from Great Britain.
It is a day of celebration, from the backyard to the pool, river or beach. Popular forms of celebration and observance include picnics, parades, cookouts, concerts, baseball games and family reunions.
Some issues we report on remind us of the arcade game, Whack-a-Mole. Take landfills, for example. This year, landfill issues have been big news in Lancaster County.
Area residents are in for a treat. In between Father's Day and the annual weekend of July Fourth celebrations is a significant date in Lancaster County.
The grand opening for the new Lancaster County Courthouse is 2 to 5 p.m Sunday.
The event is open to the public and area residents are encouraged to attend the grand opening.
Lancaster County Council will hold its final vote Monday, June 27, on the county's 2011-12 budget.
The $33,333,179 budget includes tax hikes of 1.2 mills in the county's general fund, a one-tenth of a mill increase in the University of South Carolina Lancaster fund and an increase of $5 in the county road fee.
Depending on which historical version you believe, the origin of Father's Day was based on the same premise – since there was a special day to honor mothers, father ought to have a day, also.
Sonora Smart Dodd is the name most associated with the origin of the special day. Dodd was listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909 when she came up with the idea. Her own father was the inspiration behind the idea. He was a Civil War veteran who raised six children on his own after his wife died.
Lancaster County District Superintendent Gene Moore knows a good thing when he sees it and doesn't mind saying so.
He's emphatic about retiring Superintendent Administrative Assistant JoAnne Mosier, noting the 34-year employee as one of the "best things about coming to Lancaster County as superintendent."
In her final 13 years at her job, Mosier also worked with former superintendents John Taylor and Dr. Pat Burns.
No matter who the superintendent was, Mosier worked with the same dedicated approach.
Our economy is chugging along and will continue to do so for a while. That's what a national economist told Lancaster County residents last month.
That bit of information was no real revelation for any of us. The signs of a sluggish economy – a stagnant real estate market with an abundance of homes for sale (many foreclosed), county unemployment rate of about 13.9 percent and an increase in numbers of people who need help with life's basic needs – have been apparent for while. And it doesn't appear to be getting better anytime soon.
Say or hear the initials "C.B." and quite likely the next name to come to mind, or be spoken, is Mathis.
C.B. Mathis became a household name not only in Lancaster, but also across the region and the nation.
"The name 'C.B.' became known, not only throughout our town, but throughout parts of the nation," said Tim Martin, who along with Mathis co-owned the real estate company C.O.R.E. Realty.
Mathis, a Lancaster native, died late last month, leaving a legacy of success in real estate as well as the world of pageantry.

Ever since I celebrated my 29th birthday for the 8th time, my Fall fashion taste in terms of color has been shifting ever so slightly towards all things earth tone with an occasional splash of color. Nowadays, what used to be black is chocolate brown, white is cream and color usually means subtle (emerald green, coral, curry, aubergine, camel,…). Generally, I think my Fall wardrobe is probably best described as classy & timeless. No screaming colors, no super wild patterns. Hence my new Fall bracelets… Enjoy!
Happy beginning of Fall!

Foreman Field parking area, 1950s
A sports stadium was constructed at the Norfolk Division in 1936. The stadium cost approximately $300,000; money was appropriated through municipal funds and from the Virginia Emergency Relief Administration and the Works Progress Administration (WPA).
During the summers, the stadium and a swimming pool in the Administration Building were used as a temporary summer camp for approximately 125 Norfolk boys and girls.
The athletic facility was designated "Foreman Field," named for A. H. Foreman, who was a member of the College of William and Mary's Board of Visitors and the Chairman of the Norfolk School Board. Foreman was an early advocate for the Norfolk Division, and was one of the people most responsible for acquiring the needed funds to build the stadium.
From the late 1930s through the 1970s, Foreman Field played host to a number of sports offered by the college, including track and field, baseball, football, soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey. Football was dropped in 1941, and track and field was dropped in 1982.
Although Foreman Field has been around since the 1930s, it has had its detractors over the years, especially after the football program was eliminated in the early 1940s.
ODU President, James L. Bugg, Jr. (1969-1976)
Bugg, interviewed in July 1998 by Julie Hale, recalls that during his administration,
"I suggested we pull down the stadium. I got into trouble for that."
Photographs of Foreman Field
from years past
In the 1970s and 1980s, Foreman Field was also used by Norfolk
State University for its football games and was host to the annual
Oyster Bowl, sponsored by the Shriners.
In 1979, the State Council of Higher Education
approved an expenditure of funds for the expansion
of Old Dominion University's athletic facilities,
which included a new artificial turf for Foreman Field.
In the 1980s and 1990s, baseball and soccer teams moved
from Foreman Field into their own stadiums. The baseball
stadium was completed in 1983 and the soccer stadium was
completed in 1990.
Foreman Field, 1980s
Up until the Ted Constant Convocation Center was completed
in 2002, Foreman Field served as a venue for concerts and
spring commencements. One notable concert was in 1974 when
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young played to an enormous crowd.
The stadium continues to serve as a home to ODU's field
hockey and lacrosse teams.

Ohh sh*t..............really? I swear I won that mutha f*cker???
Man, my mind is all over the place at the moment =
Life changing job applications with a deadline of this Sunday, un-employment cheques, having a total of $33 in our JOINT bank account, living with the in-laws still, 2 weddings for people I dont even like, kittens foaming at the mouth, looking after peoples children Ive never met before and changing diapers within the first 4 minutes of meeting them, my mother coming down from London to see me tomorrow at the EXACT time that the most important soccer game of the season is on..............its getting a little bit much.

If St. Paul's Hospital were a patient, it would only survive in intensive care.
That's the assessment of Providence Health Care CEO Dianne Doyle, a former nurse there.
The hospital, founded in 1894, is proud of its past, but when it comes to infrastructure — including the almost 100-year-old Burrard building, still in use today — that history is not an asset, but a critical liability.
"We're on life support," said Doyle, who joined St. Paul's as an intensive care nurse in 1976 and was appointed CEO in 2006.
"The ability for our electrical system to support new equipment, the ability for us to have adequacy of space in our operating rooms," all are challenges, she said.
"We have one of our more vulnerable populations, our mental health patients … housed in the oldest part of our building. I don't think that reflects our commitment to providing excellent care."
According to a 2011 report, "St. Paul's is increasingly challenged by the age, condition and configuration of its facilities. Some hospital buildings are nearly a century old and all are at a high risk for system failure; they will not survive an earthquake or other major disaster."
Critical infrastructure, including elevators, wiring and emergency generators, is listed in "deplorable" condition, and "at risk for cataclysmic failure."
Wiring shorts, pipes leak and several areas contain hazardous asbestos. Only the Providence building is fully sprinklered. The hospital's elevators are more than 30 years old and average 40 failures a month. In February 2011, a key electrical conduit failed, plunging the hospital into complete darkness for a few seconds. Luckily, the emergency generators kicked in (they'd failed twice during testing) and it happened late at night when no surgeries were in session.
The event was seen as a wake-up call, and a warning. Shortly after, the government coughed up $1 million for electrical upgrades. Later that year, it funded a $17.2 million upgrade for St. Paul's elevators and electrical systems.
Doyle is grateful for the funding, but the CEO is working on a permanent solution: a $610-million plan to modernize the hospital, adding a 228,000-square-foot tower on the site of the old Comox building, bringing buildings up to code and creating new patient and research spaces, with the goal of completing work between 2014 and 2020.
Surprisingly, Doyle, a senior executive in health care for 25 years, said her hardest job is not funding a major upgrade, but simply keeping St. Paul's staff doing their best in a clearly sub-par environment.
"What I don't want to see is that this progresses to a point where our staff become so distracted by that and so frustrated by needing to work in an environment that is so challenging and doesn't enable their excellence that they begin to lose hope and begin to lose their focus on excellence … or leave," she said.
"We don't want to in any way say to our community that your safety is in jeopardy. The reality, however, is our ability to continue to keep that commitment becomes more and more challenging the longer ... we are expecting our staff and our physicians to deal with very challenging space and facility needs."
St. Paul's staff are not alone in bemoaning hospital conditions.
The province's own facility condition index, compiled in 2003/04, labelled the Burrard, Comox and MacDonald buildings and boiler plant's seismic risk assessment levels "extreme." The Comox building was deemed "unsuitable for any occupancy."
As a result, there are very real concerns about St. Paul's viability in the event of a natural disaster.
Bonnie Maples, the hospital's corporate director of strategic renewal and capital assets, has little faith in the Burrard building in the event of an earthquake. It's not impossible that it could collapse, crushing the emergency department within.
"The centre block has virtually no lateral resistance ... certain elements will definitely fall off the building. Whether it actually does pancake down, it would have to be a fairly sustained earthquake. But there would be sufficient structural damage that you would have to tear the building down," said Maples, an architect by training.
That would render the hospital – which handles 20 per cent of Vancouver Coastal Health's acute care and emergency volume – useless in a crisis. The report states bluntly: "Should a major disaster, electrical or other infrastructure failure take [St. Paul's] out of service, core health services in Vancouver would be in chaos." Especially if bridges go.
As she talks about seismic risk, Maples leads a tour through the bowels of the old building, into low-lit basement corridors a century old. Ancient pipes run overhead; at one junction a rusted paint can hangs from the ceiling catching leaks.
Down the hall, an antique claw-foot tub catches water from pipe tests. The fluorescent light and sickly green paint make the area look disturbingly like a setting for a horror movie. One half expects a body.
"This looks like a scene out of a Frankenstein movie or something, but they actually use the tub for testing pumps," Maples explained. Next to it is a door to the decommissioned boiler room, where water leaks in from outside in big pools on the floor, mould clings to corners and a sign on the door reads: "Danger: Asbestos. Cancer and lung disease hazard."
These grim conditions aren't confined underground.
On the first floor of the sunny Comox building next door, Maples stands in a cavernous space now used as a makeshift office-furniture morgue. She points to a crumbling pillar made of clay tiles and mortar – a nightmare to renovate and so brittle that in the event of an earthquake, it is expected to shatter. To underscore her point, Maples whips off her high-heeled shoe and smacks the wall. Shards go flying.
Compounding St. Paul's aging infrastructure issues are the cramped quarters. The hospital maintains it doesn't have room to adequately treat patients, especially as it focuses more on cost-saving outpatient care — it's seen a 33-per-cent growth in outpatient care in the past five years and a 24-per-cent increase in day surgeries.
Currently, these services are spread among 50 different departments in 19 locations on nine floors. A hospital study found a central location could reduce wait times by 40 per cent.
Meanwhile, the population of the downtown peninsula is projected to rise to 100,000 residents by 2021 (an increase of 61 per cent from 1996), with another 173,000 employees expected to come downtown each work day (up 28 per cent from 1996), not to mention more than a million tourist visits annually.
Within the larger Vancouver Coastal Health area, the population is expected to increase 23 per cent by 2030, with seniors, who generally require more care, accounting for much of the growth.
Doyle wants St. Paul's to be there for the patients of the future.
"There is an increase in families who are living in the downtown area raising their children … who are expecting [St. Paul's]to be here for them to deliver excellent care now and into the future," said Doyle, who had her own three children at St. Paul's. "In order to sustain excellence into the future," she added pointedly, "St. Paul's Hospital needs to be renewed."
That will take money. And though the St. Paul's Hospital Foundation will kick in about $50 million raised from private donors, the bulk of the $610-million needed will have to come from the province.
In 2010, then Minister of Health Services Kevin Falcon expressed support for a renewal of St. Paul's after a previous plan to move the hospital to a new site at False Creek was scrapped following opposition from the public and the Save St. Paul's Coalition. But that setback cost the hospital valuable time and the government $2.4 million in property taxes on land that in the end wasn't used.
Recently, the government has committed to spending $2.3 billion on capital health-care investment over the next three years and — like a patient in triage — St. Paul's is desperate to get to the top of the wait list.
Doyle said there have been productive talks, but no promises.
"We've had a series of meetings with the members of various sectors within the government. Every signal has been for us to continue with an expectation that renewal will happen, but at this point, we don't have an approved project," Doyle said.
When asked about a timeline for St. Paul's, the office of current Minister of Health Services Mike de Jong played coy, stressing they've invested $90 million in upgrades for St. Paul's since 2001.
"We are currently weighing our capital priorities, including St. Paul's Hospital, against the government's other capital priorities before we can make any further comment," the Ministry said in a statement. "However, we want to reaffirm that this project is a priority for our government."
Save St. Paul's Coalition spokesman Brent Granby, who's been working with the group since 2005, said investment in the hospital is a key concern for West End residents and he argues it will save the province money in the long run.
"Having St. Paul's so close gives people in the downtown peninsula a lot of comfort," Granby said.
"I see St. Paul's as being really central to urban health. One of the great things about the new plan is they're putting an emphasis … on ambulatory care, increasing their capacity to treat people as outpatients, which is way more cost-effective. I think it's really critical they invest in the hospital now."
While they wait, Doyle focuses on what St. Paul's staff strive for, no matter the conditions they work in: compassionate care.
She recounts stories of staff who have gone the extra mile to accommodate weddings in intensive care units and to organize memorial services for families in the hospital. And she tells of patients who come back years after life-saving procedures to thank doctors and staff.
"We have hundreds of stories like that," she said. "There truly is that commitment to a holistic approach, seeing people not as a patient with a disease entity, but seeing somebody as an individual who has a life history … It's a privilege for us to interact with people at these vulnerable times in their life. I think of it personally like a sacred trust."

Have you ever heard a relatively tame looking station wagon driving down the street that sounds like 500 lawnmowers running in unison? Well, chances are, that station wagon is not modified, it just has a seriously damaged (or absent) muffler. Even the smallest, quietest gasoline powered vehicles can sound like a sick Harley-Davidson without this part.

Landis Chisenhall's Conventional-Looking Coupe Isn't So Normal Underneath. We're Here to Find Out How it Really Works.
Every car is a compromise—even (and especially) those built by car companies—so to expect anything different from hot rod builders would seem naive, at best. Yet Jack Chisenhall's car projects throughout the years have been seemingly uncompromising, given how hyper-planned they've been. Jack's like a wedding planner on bath salts when it comes to establishing and then fulfilling all of the crazy, self-imposed standards his projects need to meet. Take, for instance, his '53 Studebaker (HRM, Mar. '95). Once completed, it had to be driven to Bonneville and then run 200 mph before he deemed it complete. And he had to do it with the A/C on full blast, because Jack owns Vintage Air, the largest manufacturer of air conditioners for the performance aftermarket.
The plan for his son Landis' '36 Ford three-window coupe began with the requisite—though some would say overreaching—goals. After a seven-year buildup, those goals made this car a perfect candidate for HOT ROD's Flog Test. Jack and Landis set the parameters, but we provided the opportunity to see if it's just so much hot air (or, in this case, cold air), or if it's really firing on all eight.
Landis, a college student majoring in sound engineering, has plenty of seat time in a variety of go-karts, so naturally he wanted the old Ford coupe to handle less like an old Ford and more like his karts. Once you go there, you can forget the stock-type buggy spring suspension and lever shocks, and you'll need to stiffen the chassis and tie in a rollcage—and add some beans. The parameters expand exponentially once you stray past the intended mission of stylish, mid-'30s basic transportation—which gets pretty dull when you've been on your back an inch off of the ground shooting around rubber cones at 110-plus mph. So Landis' coupe has been agonized over, adjusted, fine-tuned, and feathered. It's exactly what he and Jack originally intended; it may not be the perfect car to you, but based on how the Chisenhalls approach projects, it's as close to perfection as anything that rolls.
Starting with a fairly decent three-window, the Chisenhalls knew they wanted to use a stock frame but with modern suspension components. Says Jack, "We weren't trying to be fancy, we just didn't want to bolt a C6 suspension into the frame and call it done—that won't work." So why not build a tube chassis? Continues Jack, "Landis plans on having this car forever, so he wanted the option of unbolting the body for potential rust or service issues many years from now." See what we mean about long-term goals?
"We weren't trying to be fancy, we just didn't want to bolt a C6 suspension into the frame and call it done— that won't work." — Jack Chisenhall
CAD data from GM for the Corvette pieces allowed the guys to build the chassis on the computer. Says Jack, "We could do this without the CAD, but we'd only be close. Since we could get the CAD data, I wanted to start that way." The chassis received boxed rails, narrowed in the rear for larger Ford GT tires on Budnik wheels. A cradle was constructed to accept a narrowed Pontiac Solstice front suspension located a couple of inches ahead of the stock axle centerline, using C6 Corvette hubs supporting 14-inch Baer rotors and 6S calipers activated by a Tilton pedal assembly with a driver-adjustable brake-bias bar taking the place of a proportioning valve. A Woodward power rack, Detroit Speed coilovers, and a Schroeder antiroll bar round out the front-end mods.
Out back, a limited-slip C5 Corvette transaxle was narrowed, with LG Motorsports coilovers and 14-inch Baer brakes added. As to the independent suspension, Jack says, "We didn't want a race car—we wanted a car that would work on the road and do well on a road course. You don't need independent suspension if all you want is a good road-course car."
The engine is a Mast Motorsports fuel-injected, 416ci L99 that has been moved aft, and with the heft of the transmission moved rearward in the form of a transaxle, the coupe has a weight bias of 57 percent to the rear. Not your typical hot rod Ford.
A 4130 rollcage ties into the frame, including braces that run through the firewall on both sides of the engine compartment. The Steve McQueen Green body bolts to the chassis using crush tubes going through the frame and into the 'cage. Says Jack, "The frame thinks it's a unibody. This thing is really rigid." Nestled around the rearend, between the framerails, are twin ATL fuel cells. Ahead of this are partial bellypans relieved for the exhaust and Ford GT mufflers to eliminate microwave tendencies inside the car. Hidden under one of the pans is a three-quart Accusump bottle set at 9 psi.
On the exterior, the car was left much as it started in '36, with the exception of the aluminum three-piece hood featuring Eric Vaughn's louvers, Bobby Walden's top insert ('36 was the last year for fabric inserts from Ford), upside-down '51–'52 Dodge taillights, and tubular nerfs front and rear. The lowered headlights use '35 Ford lenses and trim rings, and stock horn holes now duct air to the brakes. Behind the perfect '36 grille is a panel that ducts air into the engine-oil and power-steering coolers.
The interior features a '40 Ford dash filled with Classic Instruments, a Budnik leather-wrapped wheel, leather-trimmed Recaro seats, a Kicker sound system, and an onboard fire system. Oh, and Vintage Air A/C.
Since this is a Chisenhall car, if it's hot outside, it's a requirement that the air conditioning be running as close as tolerable to full blast, no matter what the car is doing. So keep in mind that throughout our three-day sojourn, the air was set to 11—even on the dyno. Jack and Landis had previous plans during our testing days, so they sent the car out from their home base of San Antonio, with friend George Hagy to handle driving and flogging chores.
Chassis Dyno and the Quarter-Mile
Quarter-mile passes at Auto Club Famoso Raceway near Bakersfield were numerous, with the disappointing times averaging 107 mph in the high 13s. Hagy's frustration and suspicion that the engine was running rich were confirmed the next day when we strapped it to Westech Performance Group's dyno in Mira Loma, California. At 5,000 rpm, the horsepower to the pavement was 368—rather anemic for a tweaked LS, and not at all what the crate engine was capable of. We figured Jack probably used the biggest A/C compressor he could, but we doubted it was scavenging this much horsepower. While not expected to affect skidpad and autocross times the next day, the lackluster numbers created untold cellphone calls between Hagy, Chisenhall, and Mast. Suspicions led to the ECU module, inaccessible without major disassembly.
Multiple Autocross Thrashing
At the former El Toro Marine Base, we borrowed the Camaro Performers magazine autocross. Here, Hagy cranked through the course with a great time of 01:10.3, proving the versatility of the coupe's handling. In perspective, that's a significant 4 seconds quicker than a base Mustang GT on our track. But how is it in the real world of tar seams, offset pavement, and potholes?
Real Cold, Real Street
We drove it around the old paved highways surrounding Famoso and found the coupe to ride and handle like a new Corvette with panache. Smooth and quiet, but not boring, the tracking was straight and the feel through the wheel positive but not requiring extra effort. Short-wheelbase cars tend to be choppy regardless of how they're suspended, but the ride exhibited only a minimal amount of chop, feeling solid and smooth as a polished rock. It was neutral, and even-keeled, during hard cornering or braking. On this 90-plus-degree day, the only uncomfortable aspect of the ride was the air conditioning set to "meat locker," because that's how it felt, and Hagy refused to adjust it even slightly warmer, citing orders from Jack.
Dyno Deux
Jack wasn't going to let the car's trip to California be its only chance to shine. Back in San Antonio, he started diagnosing the engine's decided lack of power, and determined it was a timing issue—but with modern variable valve timing, timing issues mean more than ignition. The Mast L99 engines make full use of the factory's dynamically adjustable cam timing, though it was discovered that, when Jack bolted the water pump to the engine, a standard bolt used in place of a flush bolt resulted in damage to the cam phaser. With the hex bolts, there was about a .090 crash, rendering the phaser inoperable and causing the cam to lock into the retarted position (the variable-valve-timing L99 uses a different water pump than the non-VVT LS3). The timing was fixed throughout the powerband without the ability to advance or retard. This seemingly limited the rpm capabilities (another dyno run in Texas found an extra 1,000 rpm), with the rejuvenated LS3 putting out 520 hp to the rear wheels at 6,000 rpm. With 7,000 miles on the clock before our tests, Jack never had the car in a situation where hard acceleration was necessary, or even questioned. HOT ROD's full-phalanx flog brings out the worst, as well as the best, in our test cars.
In the end, we chalked up the coupe as yet another cool car from the Chisenhall clan.
Fast Facts
There were two coupes available from Ford in 1936: the five-window with 107,472 produced in both Standard and Deluxe, and the Deluxe-only three-window, of which 21,446 were produced.
Total 1936 Ford production was 930,778.
All Fords in 1936 came with 85hp flathead V8s.
Vintage Air did all engineering and supplied HVAC system components for the Ford GT.
HOT ROD Flog Test Results
Performance as Tested
Rear-Wheel Horsepower: 519.7 at 6,050 rpm*
Rear Wheel Torque: 503.0 at 4,500 rpm*
Time on the HOT ROD Autocross: 01:10.3
Quarter-Mile: 13.28 seconds at 118.78 mph*
60-0 Braking: 140 feet
*These dyno numbers were generated in Texas after a cam-timing issue was solved, initially resulting in poor horsepower during official testing. Unfortunately, the dragstrip numbers are from before the fix.
Competence in its Intended Purpose: This is a tall, heavy old coupe that feels far more agile and light. Jack and Landis laid out their goals and hit them squarely.
Ranking: 10
Performance vs. Potential: The independent suspension, chassis stiffness and 500-plus horsepower do not compromise the grocery-getter manners around town. This is a multipurpose exercise satisfying everything a performance car is supposed to do—especially for a 60 year old car built with much more pedestrian goals. However, we can only score based upon our actual testing, bringing this ranking down a few notches.
Ranking: 8
Dares to be Different: Honestly, most prewar hot rods are not built with such far-flung parameters. So from a build perspective, it rates a 10. Outside, it's a mildly smoothed off '36 coupe. Landis didn't want a spaceship, so the goal was to retain as much classic-cool as he could.
Ranking: 6
Fabricated vs. Bolted Together: Again, internally it's all fabricated or highly modified; externally, it's almost a straight bolt-together. We're very impressed by the planning and CAD assist.
Ranking: 8
Fit and Finish: It's on par with anything gleaming in a BMW or Mercedes showroom.
Ranking: 9
Cool Factor: If by "cool" we mean ambient—give it an 11. Though '36 Fords are cool, at a Goodguys event lacking over-the-top gimmicks, it might not be the coolest coupe in the crowd, which we're sure is just fine with the Chisenhalls.
Ranking: 7
Bang for the Buck: Jack knows what he wants so a lot of this car was farmed out to professionals. Could Jack and Landis do most of the work themselves? Yes. Did they spend to get better than their combined efforts? Ditto.
Ranking: 6
Practical Streetability: It felt, sounded and smelled like a new BMW. Old-car gremlins like a choppy ride, tank-like visibility, and noise were happily on a holiday.
Ranking: 10
Overall Score: 8

The Washington Post is intensifying its push for cuts to Social Security and Medicare apparently hoping for action in the lame duck Congressional session. Today a story in the news section told readers:
"On entitlements, Obama has offered significant changes to Medicare, including letting the eligibility age to rise from 65 to 67."
The passive tense in this sentence might confuse readers. President Obama proposed raising the eligibility age for Medicare from 65 to 67. This is not something that happens absent his effort to stop it, like the rise of the oceans due to global warming. Obama would be the agent of this increase in the age of eligibility. Experienced reporters and editors usually would not make this sort of mistake.
The next sentence tells readers:
"He has also supported applying a less generous measure of inflation to Social Security benefits."
Okay, does everyone know what this means? I suspect that only a small minority of Post readers understands that "applying a less generous measure of inflation" implies a cut in the annual cost of living adjustment of 0.3 percentage points. This cut would be cumulative so that after being retired 10 years a beneficiary would see a cut of approximately 3 percent, after 20 years the cut would 6 percent and after 30 years it would be 9 percent.
Newspapers are supposed to be trying to inform their readers. It is difficult to believe that the Post's terminology in this sentence was its best effort at informing readers of the meaning of this proposal. It is perhaps worth noting that this proposed cut in benefits is hugely unpopular.
At another point the Post discussed the contours of the budget dispute and told readers:
"one of the sticking points remains relevant: Although Democrats wanted to increase the tab [revenue increases] for taxpayers by $800 billion, Republicans wanted at least some of the money to come from economic growth, ...."
A real newspaper would write the second part of this sentence:
"Republicans wanted to claim at least some of the money would come from economic growth"
Undoubtedly both Republicans and Democrats would be happy if the government got additional revenue as a result of more rapid economic growth. The difference is that the Republicans want to score the additional revenue as part of the budget agreement, making assumptions about the impact of lower tax rates on growth that may not be warranted by the evidence. Most Post readers probably would not understand this fact.

Current Law Students / Re: Socrtaic Method an act of scholarly mischief?« on: October 08, 2009, 09:43:59 AM »
The socratic method is arguably the best method teaching, reason being that it leads to a conversation between the prof or lecturer and the student. At the end of the conversation a reasonanble student should then realise that the law is a rule that should be followed not a question of maybe something is right or wrong.
I couldn't disagree more. In my opinion, it's such a poor form of learning. I suppose it has some room to be used on a limited basis during the class room, but not dominate the discussion. A combination of socratic method, lecture, and student participation is a better approach. Just my two cents.

You know... at one point... Best was going to send me a free kite... I am glad I donated it to a Toby raffle... so I don't have to deal with lame PAC type accusations...In addition you kind of ask youself..why can one person get free kites whereas the next does not? I've been a faithful customer (already bought 6 kites from Best) most of them I have had to wait for an extended period of time...at some point it is enough.

Just last week, I sang the praises of PGP alum James Rebhorn, a man who gets hired to play the slimiest of the slimiest slime and then darn if he doesn't make the character not exactly likable but at least somewhat... understandable. When Bradley Raines took the stand in Springfield to explain why he beat and raped his stepdaughter, Rebhorn managed to make the man sound nuts... but sympathetic, too. Still trying to figure out twenty-plus years later how he did it.
Now comes this item from Hoosier country HeraldBulletin.com, which raves about their native son:
Rebhorn is continuing to add credits to his name.
From daytime television stints on "Guiding Light" and "As the World Turns" to prime-time television shows like "Law & Order" and "The Practice," Rebhorn, an alumnus of Madison Heights High School, has dominated the small screen. He has also played large roles in Hollywood blockbusters like "Basic Instinct" (1992), "Independence Day" (1996), "The Game" (1997), "I Love Trouble" (1994), "Carlito's Way" (1993), "Meet the Parents" (2000) and "Cold Mountain" (2003). Viewers can catch Rebhorn playing a judge in the new Tina Fey comedy "Baby Mama," in theaters now. (Ed. note: IMHO, neither primetime nor the big screen have come close to showing what Rebhorn at the top of his game is capable of. They tend to cast him as The Bad Guy. No depth, no nuance.)
Also mentioned in the piece is multi-Emmy winner David Canary (Adam, AMC), who started his daytime career on PGP's Another World and Search for Tomorrow.

A British man has struck a deal to avoid extradition to the US on copyright infringement charges for creating a website that directed users to popular entertainment content reproduced without legal permission.
A High Court judge in London was informed yesterday that Richard O'Dwyer of Sheffield, England, will travel to the US within the next two weeks to sign an agreement that will settle his copyright infringement case, according to his mother, Julia O'Dwyer, who confirmed report on the hearing by the BBC. She said she was advised by legal counsel to not comment further, adding she was preparing to go to the US.
O'Dwyer, 24, is expected to pay a small sum in compensation and agree not to violate copyright law again, the BBC reported.
In 2007, O'Dwyer created a site called TVShack.net, that contained links to popular movies and television but did not actually store the content. US prosecutors allege the site generated more than $230,000 in advertising revenue. When he ran TVShack.net, O'Dwyer was a student at Sheffield Hallam University studying gaming software development and interactive media.
In July 2010, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) seized the TVShack.net domain name as well as six others for alleged copyright infringement. The site's domain name was registered in the US, although it was hosted in the Netherlands.
Prosecutors alleged the site encouraged users to add links to other content that infringed copyright, reminding users they were saving money by using TVShack.net to view content.
In a June 2010 press release, US federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York alleged that TVShack.net "distributed" movies including "Sex and the City 2," "The A Team," "Get Him to the Greek," and "Iron Man 2," notching as many as 486,000 visitors in May 2010. After TVShack.net was shut down, O'Dwyer launched a new domain, TVShack.cc, but it was also shut down around November 2010.
O'Dwyer was charged with copyright infringement, conspiracy to infringe a copyright and criminal copyright infringement. The US filed an extradition request with the UK, which was approved in January. The extradition request was another sign of the increased aggression with which US prosecutors are pursuing copyright infringement cases.

There are a lot of incidents being brought up prior to this, with the wolves (all neutered, bottle-raised males, I think six or eight of them) being aggressive to both keepers and visitors on occasion.
To give you the details: Kolmården is the biggest zoo in Scandinavia, and one of the things they were famous for was their wolf interaction program, when visitors could go in to the wolves. It sure helped to change a lot of people's mind about the wolves (they are still being hunted like witches in Sweden and the rest of Scandinava), but it does not seem it was handled very professionally.
I remember just a couple of months before the fatal incident, when a fifteen year old girl was bitten in her thigh by one of the wolves - the thing is she was afraid of DOGS, so for some stupid reason she or her family/friends got the idea she should practice on wolves? They picked up on her fear and bit her.
There WERE safety regulations. You were not allowed to have any food in your hands or pockets, and if a wolf grabbed say a scarf or something else you had hanging, you simply had to let it go, you'd never get it back. So keepers sure had no "control" if you will, of the wolves. What's mind-boggling to me is how they let a teenage girl with dog phobia go in there.
As for the fatal incident itself, not much was revealed. This was a 30 year old woman who was going in, alone and unarmed (standard procedure), to feed the pack of wolves she had known since puppyhood. The only safety protocol was a com radio to check in with every twenty minutes. Plenty of time for things to happen. It was when she did not check in that her lifeless body was discovered in the pen. The media was like I said, very quiet about the details, and I don't know how bad her injuries were.
It's reported she was feeling weak prior to the incident - difficult to keep her balance, dizziness, and so on, and that a weakness like this might trigger a predatory response in the wolves. I've long thought that simply stumbling over, near a pack of wolves in a feeding frenzy, would be a death sentence. And now we know she was not feeling well.
Some other incidents, written right now during the court proceedings and quickly translated by me:
The 7th of May 2011 one of the wolf guides was victim to an attack while visiting the wolves in the pen. In the raport it's described how all wolves were circling the keeper who had ended up on the ground. Farkas, the leader wolf shows a clear aggressive behavior towards the keeper.
"It's starting to really get out of hand", she writes. "Now they are so aggressive it's starting to get really unpleasant."
The keeper also describes how she, despite being alone, lacked communication devices.
And this one is just idiotic behavior from a visitor, who should not have been allowed in there in the first place (and I think it is the previously mentioned teenager):
The year afterwards, 2012, about two months before the fatal attack, the next incident is reported. A visitor becomes afraid of the wolves and screams and waves her arms. Her behavior triggers the wolves who bites her leg. One of the bites is so serious that the visitor has to be taken to hospital.
The keeper who was killed by wolves wrote herself a report on the 5th of May 2012. In the report she describes how one of the wolves bites a visitor in the arm.
They describe minor incidents, like one (said to be unreported) where a keeper was scratched in the face so she got "stripes in the face" (same has happened to be by my dog).
One keeper describes how one of the wolves, Volk, has changed his behavior and how he starts going after her clothes. "We were both a bit surprised", the keeper writes.
Well this one seems to me like obvious idiocy...
One reason for the keepers being alone in the pen is that it's been part of their work tast to feed the wolves who have a harder time claiming their place in the pack. They have then hidden meat in bags under their jackets to make sure the more dominant wolves don't take the meat from the subdominant. The wolves have on several occasions pulled in the keeper's clothing.
Banning visitors from having any food in their pockets was a good rule. So why on Earth did the keepers do something so stupid?
Prosecutor Linda Schön reads up a long row of different incidents. She's trying to paint the picture that it's been messy with the wolves in the pen. They have often lunged for keepers and visitors and been ripping in clothes. The guides write of how they feel discomfort with some of the wolves.
It is also very clear that the keepers were often alone with the wolves.
Of course the vast majority of interactions (30+ years) were perfectly safe and nothing happened, but the way they treated the wolves seemed reckless and like this was a tragedy waiting to happen.
But I want to hear from people who actually have experience with wolves and/or HC wolfdogs - what do you think about this?
There are plenty of videos of interactions on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_ ... %C3%A5rden

Homosexuality and the Christian
Modern distinctions: There are homosexual/heterosexual orientations (for which people are not responsible), and then there are homosexual/heterosexual practices (for which people are responsible). Homosexual/heterosexual practices which are anonymous acts of self-gratification are different than practices that are expressive of authentic human love between two people. Both homosexual practices and heterosexual practices are judged by the same standards.
The secular challenge to the Christian: "Sex is essential to human fulfillment. To expect homosexual people to abstain from homosexual practice is to condemn them to frustration and to drive them to neurosis, despair, and even suicide. It's outrageous to ask anybody to deny himself what to him is a normal and natural mode of sexual expression."
The modern theological challenge: "No where in Scripture is there a clear condemnation of a loving sexual relationship between two gay persons." "Scriptural authors never deal with homosexual orientation, and when they do treat homosexual activity, they never do so in a context of a loving relationship. They presuppose that they are dealing with a humanly destructive activity in the context of idolatry, prostitution, promiscuity, violent rape, seduction of children or violation of guests' rights." John J. McNeill "Homosexuality: Challenging the Church to Grow" in Christian Century (March 11, 1987: 246.).

Atmospheric Sciences & Global Change
Research Highlights
January 2012
Worldwide Water in the Balance
Tropical clouds hold clues for the global water cycle
The atmospheric force called the Hadley Circulation hugs each side of the equator and is part of the global atmospheric movement of moisture and warm air, affecting climate and weather extremes around the globe. See sidebar. Enlarge Image
Results: To study the wellspring of atmospheric water, you have to start with tropical clouds. Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory showed that global climate models are not accurately depicting the true depth and strength of tropical clouds that have a strong hold on the general circulation of atmospheric heat and the global water balance. Their analysis points to the need for model improvements to project water cycle changes in the 21st century. The research was published in the Journal of Climate.
Why It Matters: As the Earth's climate warms, the sources and availability of water are affected. But how well are those changes predicted in global climate models today? Scientists are working to understand how moisture "moves" through the atmosphere and causes precipitation around the world. Understanding how well climate models represent these processes will help reduce uncertainties in the model projections of the effects of global warming on the world's water cycle. Equipped with more accurate projection tools, policymakers can get a better grip on how the climate changes will impact future availability of water and extreme weather events.
Methods: Researchers Drs. Samson M. Hagos and L. Ruby Leung, atmospheric scientists at PNNL, surveyed tropical divergence in three global climate models, three global reanalyses (models corrected with observational data), and four sets of field campaign soundings. Their survey uncovered significant uncertainties in current climate projections of the intensity and vertical structure of the low-level convergence of moisture to and upper-level divergence of heat away from the tropics. These current uncertainties are also reflected in future climate projections by these models.
The research team divided the total circulation providing moisture for precipitation into three parts: deep-divergent, shallow-divergent, and non-divergent. They found that in the tropics and subtropics, deep divergent circulation is the largest contributor to net precipitation, or total precipitation minus evaporation. Further, all global circulation models studied portray this process as deeper and stronger than what is observed in field measurements.
"Inter-model differences in the present day climate simulations inevitably carry over to future projections of climate change," said Hagos, lead author of the study. "Identifying these uncertainties provides a strong basis for model improvements."
What's Next: Understanding how well climate models depict net precipitation gain was the first step. Next, scientists will work on correcting the representation of tropical cloud depth in global climate models to better project future climate change.
