text: Avoid Roof Collapses from Snow on Agricultural Buildings December 19, 2012 06:22 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Davis Michaelsen Pro Farmer Inputs Monitor Editor Email Twitter With skies threatening snow over the nation's midsection today, and parts of the northern U.S. already strapping on their snowshoes, I am reminded of a dire warning from my grandfather, back on the farm. He told the story of the bull he lost one spring when warmer temperatures loosened heavy snow and ice pack on the barn's rooftop. The bull unfortunately had placed himself in harm's way and when the snowpack broke loose, the bull was killed by the weight of all of that snow and ice falling from the rooftop. The University of Minnesota Extension offers the following, timely advice: "By Larry D. Jacobson and Kevin A. Janni, University of Minnesota Extension ST. PAUL, Minn. (12/19/2012) -It looks like 2012-13 could be a year for the Midwest to get hit by heavy snow and ice storms, which can leave large amounts of snow and ice on roofs of agricultural buildings. The recent large snowfall left over a foot of snow and ice on roofs in central Minnesota, but fortunately most of that snow came off roofs during the warmer temperatures that followed. With colder temperatures expected, we cannot count on future snowfalls sliding off. Trusses and rafters must support the increased weight, or roofs may collapse. University of Minnesota Extension advises that even agricultural buildings with well-designed roofs cannot take excessive (greater than 4 to 6 ft.) amounts of snow. What is a "safe" amount of snow to have on your roof over an extended period of time? An educated guess for the upper Midwest (where snow loads are typically at least 20 lbs. per square ft.) would be 4 ft. of dry snow or 2 ft. of wet heavy snow and ice. The following factors affect the amount of snow that can build up on a roof: o roof pitch - snow will not easily slide off flatter roofs (3/12 pitch or less) o drifting - wind blowing snow around other buildings and trees can create huge snow drifts and uneven snow loads o "lean-to" or roofs on other lower buildings that "receive" snow or ice sliding off another roof above it o shingled or roof decks which do not shed snow and ice as easily as metal roofs o roof valleys or roof areas which collect a lot of snow What should be done if your building exceeds the above mentioned "safe" snow depths? The simple answer is to get it off as soon as possible. Generally, there is some time between a large snowfall event and possible structural failure. One way to remove snow from a roof is to physically get up on the roof and shovel off the snow. There obviously is a human safety concern of falling off the roof when working on a snow covered and icy roof. Use ladders, safety ropes and take necessary precautions. Hire a professional if possible. Other alternatives are the use of snow rakes or specialty tools that can be used from the ground or from portable scaffolding. Use extreme caution when working near overhead electrical power lines. Also avoid excessive scraping on the roof or trying to chip off ice. These practices can damage the roof and lead to leaks. There are other methods of removing snow and ice from roofs. One involves warming the inside of the building sufficiently with large heaters to melt the ice layer, and then waiting for the snow and ice to slide off. Obviously, a lot of heat is necessary for even a moderately-sized building, and it must be an open-trussed structure (no flat ceiling), and have an uninsulated metal roof. Caution is necessary to prevent large chunks of ice and snow that slide off the roof from falling on people, animals or equipment. For flat-ceiling buildings, putting heaters in the attic is generally not recommended because of the fire danger and the possibility of creating ice dams along the building's eaves. A preventive measure to avoid excessive snow on building roofs in future years is to have effective snow fences and or tree (shelterbelts) windbreak for farmsteads and/or agricultural buildings. Some of the buildings' roofs that have failed in past years were located either too close to shelterbelts and/or windbreaks or there were no protections for the buildings at all. When placing a snow fence or tree windbreak, remember that the protected area downwind will generally be 10 to 15 times the height of the shelterbelt or fence. Research in Canada has shown that an 80-percent solid fence distributes the snow more evenly and gives better protection downwind than a solid fence. (If 1 x 10" boards are used, you would vertically space them 2.5 in. apart or with 1 x 8" boards the spacing would be 2 in.) As an example, a 12-ft. high windbreak fence (80 percent solid) will protect from 120 to 180 ft. downwind. Most of the snow will drop within the first 30 to 40 ft. immediately downwind of the fence/trees or roughly within the first 25 percent of the protected area. Leaving an area or space for snow to accumulate is very important when locating a machine shed or livestock building downwind from a shelterbelt. If the building is too close it will be within this snow drop area, and if too far from the windbreak it will be outside of the wind protection zone. Hopefully, the 2012-13 winter will provide some opportunity for the accumulated ice and snow on roofs to melt or slide off, but if we receive above normal snowfalls with cold temperatures, monitor the snow load situation on agricultural buildings and take appropriate action. Check high risks areas and please be extremely careful.

ThIs sample was found via @Yinettesys's (credit) IDS sigs: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/929d622f3b36b00c0be1
The sample is up and alive, my analysis I posted in VT (see the comment tab): https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/73b0 ... 411634118/
Announced was 6h ago here: https://twitter.com/yinettesys/status/5 ... 6268604416
And detection ratio is still ZERO..
Anyway, the malware is new, spotted and saved/designed (firstly found) for a #0day , so I named it as Linux/Bash0day < (if you have better name..pls feel free to change.. )/* THIS is what I am afraid of for the ELF malware...sigh.. now you know why I yell ELF a lot!! The AV scanning performance for new ELF itself is ANOTHER 0day actually..*/
Basically the malware is backdoors to a CNC and remotely control (bot) with the busybox rooter attack. CNC info is in the analysis.
It scans for logins + tries to exploit via SCANNER (telnet?) on IPs & gained shell with an "overdue" busybox skids exec_code.. (often sighted in telnet flaw ref is here: https://isc.sans.edu/diary/Busybox+Hone ... nner/18055 ) and gain privilege of the admin/root (if possible).
The main course is : It does DDoS in TCP and UDP so does other attacks (JUNK, HOLD), with backdoor to its CNC.
So it is the "another" DDoS botnet story..
The binary wasn't clearly stripped, yet using silly decrypter, it looks like a "quicky" codings job in some parts, yet well-designed/crypted in many others, I think they prepared it a bit (for this kind of occassion) BEFORE 0day was publicly announced (still < 24day), since the 0day was found in about a week before and mostly is leaked to bad guys faster than good guys.
Answering twitter comments:
A: That SCANNER part is aiming IPs+sent "that" BusyBox codes to exploit (should be telnet..other protocol just doesnt work)..Maybe not a worm, but a morons who wanna build #botnet #DDoS'er upon #0day #bashQ: So, not a worm at least, though that's no consolation for public-facing systems
A: Aiming router for DDoS=2nd→Busybox sploit. WebServers=1st stage←no shellshock trace in #ELF (read: The actor is aiming web server to implement ELF to do the scanning of routers, PoC'ed by the busybox exploit in telnet which only affected routers/embedded linux/or MAYBE ANDROID too! for hack or DDoS or etc purpose which is the actor's end stage, in my opinion. This is backed up by the fact that there is no trace of #bash #0day CGI exploit in the binary ELF itself..I was eager to see that actually.Q: IMO, likely attackers will plant malware in web servers as 2nd stage
I think we will see many more on these will come up.. beware..
Feel free to add, comment, improve, critics, put more samples of the similars. I gotta rest, in hospital bed now, bye!

Group of Seven finance officials agreed on Saturday to redouble efforts to deal with failing banks and gave a green light to Japan's drive to galvanize its economy.
British finance minister George Osborne said the finance ministers and central bankers meeting 40 miles outside London focused on unfinished bank reforms, with signs that plans for a euro zone banking union are fraying.
Continue Reading Below
"It is important to complete swiftly our work to ensure that no banks are too big to fail," Osborne told reporters after hosting a two-day meeting in a stately home set in rolling countryside.
"We must put regimes in place ... to deal with failing banks and to protect taxpayers and to do so in a globally consistent manner," he said.
The emergency rescue of Cyprus after a near meltdown in March served as a reminder of the need to finish an overhaul of the banking sector, five years after the world financial crisis began.
Germany has come under pressure to give more support to a banking union in the euro zone. The plan could help strengthen the single currency area, but Berlin worries it may pay too much for future bank bailouts if it signs up to a scheme to wind up stricken lenders.
While the first step - to create a single bank supervisor under the European Central Bank - looks set to be in place by mid-2014, a second pillar, a 'resolution' fund to close failed banks, is in doubt. And there is little prospect that a single deposit guarantee scheme will ever see the light of day.
A senior U.S. Treasury official said the talks at the 17th-century Hartwell House zeroed in on the need not just for better bank supervision but also to clean up balance sheets so lending can pick up.
"There was a sense of urgency among the euro area participants," the official said.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble countered that the euro zone was no longer the main risk to the world economy.
As at previous international meetings, Japan escaped any censure for printing money on a scale that has pushed the yen sharply lower.
Osborne said the G7 - the United States, Germany, Japan, Britain, Italy, France and Canada - reaffirmed that fiscal and monetary policy should be aimed at domestic concerns, not currency manipulation.
"We will not target exchange rates," Osborne said. "I would say that the statement by the G7 of earlier this year was a successful statement and one that has been held to."
The yen hit a four-year low against the dollar on Friday, driven in part by Japanese investors shifting into foreign bonds, a move that had been expected since the Bank of Japan unveiled a massive stimulus plan.
But having urged Tokyo for years to do something to revive its economy, other world powers are not in a strong position to complain now that it is doing so. Then there is the fact that central banks such as the Federal Reserve and Bank of England have printed money in the way the Bank of Japan is.
Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said the G7 had leveled no criticism at Japan's monetary policy but Schaeuble said there had been "intense discussions" and that the situation would be monitored carefully.
Debate has also heated up about the need for governments to ease up on austerity, something Germany, Britain and Canada view with caution but Washington, Paris and Rome favor.
Osborne said there was less disagreement about whether governments should focus on debt-cutting or growth-boosting measures than is commonly assumed.
"Everyone is clear that there needs to be credible medium-term fiscal consolidation ... We also agreed that there needs to be flexibility," he said. "Growth prospects remain uneven and we can't take the global recovery for granted."
But his suggestion before the meeting that it should consider what more monetary policy could do to support economic recovery appeared to fall on deaf ears.
"There wasn't any call to do more," European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi told reporters after the meeting.
"It is quite clear that all central banks have done a lot, each one within its own mandate. So (the meeting) was just taking note of this ... All of us have really been active."
Several officials from visiting delegations questioned why Britain had called the gathering just three weeks after they and others met at International Monetary Fund meetings in Washington, but Bank of England Governor Mervyn King said the informal nature of the discussions had paid dividends.
"Freed from burden to agree a communiqu��, the principals engaged more with each than I can recall before and as a result genuinely made real progress in taking forward some of the questions and issues that are facing the G7," he said.

2020 Dodge Challenger Preview And News
2020 Dodge Challenger. There is virtually no idea of SXT research for the year 2020 Dodge Challenger, both formal and limited. However, a large number of this particular assumption consists of unloading Hellcat and having a potential plant that Dodge can use for new development; V6, V8, in-series 4, Turbo or supercharging is certainly a comprehensive self-tuning for investigation. For all experiments and factors, nothing is known about the changes that occurred in Dodge Challenger 2020. In addition, it is more likely to be developed when the Alfa Romeo stage "Julia", which means a much smaller scale, lighter weight and extra weight The most significantly effective rebuild can be Dodge Challenger 2020. A reputable Dodge organization in any case goes missing from the awesome 12 cars several weeks within a year outside. The new 2009 Halcat product, Dodge Challenger, is an excellent additional version and continues to anticipate the download. The company's special offers have reinforced the requirements for how to present a brand new model; this just demonstrates the type of selectivity in the car.
The first striking in Dodge Challenger was initially proven in the 1970's, so the organization appears to maintain a vintage expert program despite the fact that the exterior appearance is modified. One of the many changes that might have a great exterior look is the 2-spherical lighting around the entrances and rear backgrounds of the checked rectangle as well as the sturdy, compelling LED lights. The clearest illustration of redesigning lighting is the progress in knowledge. In addition, the new type of 20-inch composite wheels is likely to be given high-quality Pirelli tires for exercise including health and fitness. Then, 2020 Dodge Challenger The new Hellcat can also be designed to locate the hood and cover, with reminders at the top of the guards and dodgers. For the part of the internal work surface, an amazing way of measuring the heart is likely to be achieved. This goal is much more.
Often this is the real truth is that this work imagines an interior surface that reduces 5 passengers with Alcantara and in an annex, the cowhide seats in Napa will grow to be much more complete every day, ensuring compatibility. You will discover a kind of display, which is completely sailing from the steamboat effectively like a cell phone to the skid based on the leather steering wheel, which is interesting. Gizmos considering that the security structure, as well as the configuration of the GPS edge cutting system, are likely to be correct within the changes. But not least, even so, not much less important, people who have increased your online prejudice and three-dimensional display, look disdainful. 2020 Dodge Challenger Hellcat A new product or service can be kept in the brain, and this type is required only because the new growth is expected to be equipped with a Wi-Fi network in the signal warehouse and other sizes 8.4 inches. View 3D screens. That this will probably be the strongest filmmaker.
As for the flat parts, it's basically a shepherd because Dodge will definitely become the essential V8 engine, which is likely to be a great V6 to flip this coronary artery into the screen, after he said Dodge would introduce turbocharged turbochargers. The light electric motor still needs to be a 300 impact. However, it may not soon be appropriate for its ideals – there is no range of differentiation to help prevent them from saying they usually say.
However, there are very few excellent details to be determined if this new 2020 Dodge Challenger Hellcat is delivered electronically, yet it is quite appropriate that it can provide charges starting at $55,000.

The financial cost of planning for children with special needs is eye-watering. In the direst circumstances, the average lifetime cost for dealing with autism or a related disorder is around $3.2 million per individual, with 60% requiring adult services, according to the Autism Society.
Penta has written extensively about trust structuring that incorporates the cost of caring for children with disabilities, recently in "Creating Special Trusts For Challenged Kids." Still, the emotional toll of losing you, the doting parent, could get lost in the substantial financial and legal planning you've already done.
Tanya Harvey, senior counsel with a specialty in advising families with special needs kids at law firm Loeb & Loeb, says most parents forget to prepare the new guardian for the lifelong challenges of caring for their child, after they are gone.
"Yes, no one can take care of your child like you – or know all the things that you know about them," Harvey tells her clients. "But when you die, it is going to be really challenging for your child, because they have relied on you their whole life." The key to making the transition smooth: prepping the guardian by drafting a letter of intent. That's a fancy legal term for a kind of detailed road map for your child and chosen caregiver, after you have passed.
Harvey recalled a grandmother who had assumed responsibility of her granddaughter. The child was born with special needs because the mother had a drug problem and was unfit to care for the child. When the grandmother was diagnosed with colon cancer though, at the age of 55, it was decided that her sister, who had never had any children of her own, would assume guardianship.
Harvey suggested the grandmother draft a letter of intent in which she began recording the 11 year old's daily routine, medications, friends or relatives important to his life, his doctors and anything to make the transition to the aunt as smooth as possible. "By the time she passed away, we had a whole notebook, sort of like the letter of intent on steroids, so that her sister could maintain a sense of continuity going forward," Harvey said.
A letter of intent, therefore, is not a legal document but a practical run-down of routines to smooth the path of your child's future. The question to ask: 'If you were suddenly to become incapacitated or die, what would you want your child's guardian to read that night, so they can step-into the shoes of the parent and make the transition as easy as possible?' The letter of intent is an evolving document, Harvey said, that a parent should revise once a year to keep track of any new developments, like new medications or activities the child is involved in.
So what do you need to look for when selecting a guardian? Harvey says it's important to understand that there are two types of guardian, with one ideal for the person and one guardian for the property, also known as the trustee of the estate. Most of the time it's good practice to separate the two, Harvey says, because you're looking for two different skill sets.
The guardian of person might be caring, but could be perhaps tempted to put an unnecessary addition on their house or take the child and family on a lavish trip to Europe on the trust's dime. A system of checks and balances that separates both functions, therefore, avoids these conflicts of interest. Another smart practice is to select a guardian from both the father and mother's side, to maximize the number of people in the child's life.
It's important to remember that giving family members, in particular siblings, control of the purse strings is dicey business and could change family dynamics. Harvey has a client, in his early 80s, whose son is mentally handicapped and now living on his own, after the father's ex-wife passed. The son can mow the lawn and take care of the house, but is not financially independent. The father comes over to review bank statements and pay the bills once a month, but he is starting to worry who will care for him when he passes. His other sons have their own families and children to care for; one just went through a messy divorce and the other is married and very career oriented.
Harvey explained that siblings can become resentful of their sibling with special needs. Though they love their brother or sister, the years of playing second fiddle to their parent's love and attention could make them jealous. In the aforementioned case, Harvey convinced the father to hire a local social worker to begin looking after the son because, in the past, the brothers have not stepped-up to help. Her hope is that by relinquishing the significant responsibility of caring for their brother's month-to-month needs as caregivers, that they will naturally become more involved in his life and perhaps become trustees.
"Selecting the guardian of your child will dictate their quality of life after your passing," Harvey said. It's just as important, therefore, to find the right caregiver as it is to provide peace of mind financially.

I have some understanding of the basic principles and techniques of canning but have never gotten into it. I missed the elusive 22nd Sugar High Friday event in August titled "Can you can", an event on canning jams and preserves. It looked like fun and would have been a good excuse to practice canning…oh well! The jams and preserves that 52 food bloggers made look absolutely wonderful. Check them out at Nicky and Oliver's beautiful blog Delicious Days.
Although I don't can, I eat. Here are a couple of preserves I purchased at Fauchon while I was in New York. The first is Strawberry with Rose Petals and the second Corsican Clementine Sweet Orange. You can see by the picture that I have been eating my way steadily through the Clementine. At US $11 per jar, these preserves can sure add up. I ended up spending US $36 on preserves. Yes, I know it sounds silly, but they are sooo good. I should probably practice canning, 'cause if I keep buying preserves and jams at this cost I will go broke. They were amazing on the soft buttery brioche that I devoured in two minutes after taking the photo. Yum.

The list of velvet-rope names who'll be performing, hosting tributes or providing paparazzi fodder at the Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas this week keeps growing.
The latest to sign on are Pasión Vega, the Latin Grammy-nominated Spanish singer, who'll be co-hosting the 13th annual Latin Grammy pre-telecast ceremony. That's for all of you who want to start tuning into Thursday's festivities several hours before the actual 8 p.m. awards ceremony, which will be broadcast on the Univision Network.
Vega's onstage backup at the House of Blues inside the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino will include Amaury Gutiérrez, the Mexico City pop band JotDog, Gian Marco and -- here's the surprise -- the Cuartetango String Quartet.
Actually, the Latin Grammys lately have been making a serious pitch to the black-tie segment of their listeners. Gustavo Dudamel, the Venezuelan musical director and principal conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, opened last year's Latin Grammys with a stirring symphonic performance by Venezuela's Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolivar of Calle 13's hit song "Latinoamerica."

The New York Times continues its downward spiral to oblivion:
The New York Times Co. reported a steep drop in third-quarter profits on Thursday, the latest gloomy earnings report in an industry battered by online competition and falling print advertising revenue.
The New York Times Co. said net profit fell by 51.4 percent in the third quarter to 6.5 million dollars, or five cents per share, from 13.4 million dollars, or nine cents per share, in the same period a year ago. …
Shortly after the release of its results, Standard & Poors said it was lowering the Times's credit rating to "BB-," or junk status, while Moody's Investors Service said it was placing it on review for possible downgrade.
Moody's changed the rating outlook for the company to negative from stable in July. A further downgrade would reduce it to junk status.
It's been said that the entire value of the New York Times Company is represented by its building in Manhattan–that the twenty or so papers the company owns, including the New York Times and the Boston Globe, have zero value. I'm not sure whether that's right, but if it is, Power Line is worth more than the New York Times–financially, as well as intellectually. We don't make much money, but we're in the black.

Phantoms are the height of precision pump markers. No hefty pump arms, slim - sleek - lightweight aluminum body, precision machined internal hammer & bolt system and hand-finished with excellent attention to detail!
The Phantom is a .68 caliber, pump action CO2 powered marker designed to fire paintballs as accurately as possible. The Phantom has an internal velocity adjuster that is accessed down the barrel with furnished adjuster rod. The hammer and bolt assembly has a built in anti-kink to reduce friction when in a cocked configuration. The pump arm is captured in the frame to eliminate openings in the gun body to help prevent dirt and debris from entering the mechanics of the Phantom. The bolt has "tuned port compensation" that redirects the blast of air evenly on the paintball to reduces distortion, which reduces paintball breakage. and improves the overall accuracy. The barrel is roller burnished and muzzle ported with channels and holes to reduce pop of the paintball and envelop the ball in a pocket of air. For those who never want to be seen, the distinctive sound of the Phantom is a quiet thud.

A3-ID32426: Calibration and Data Quality
Oral presentation
Calibration and Intercalibration of microwave radiometer time series: Status and plans for Dragon-4
1Space Science and Engineering Center, University of Wisconsin – Madison, US; 2Earth and Environmental Sciences, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, US; 3Informus GmbH, Berlin, Germany; 4CAS Key Laboratory of Microwave Remote Sensing, National Space Science Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China
The Microwave Radiometer (MWR) flown on Envisat, ERS-1 and ERS-2 provides a nearly uninterrupted time series of microwave observations over a period almost 21 years between 1991 and 2012. This dataset is complementary to other microwave datasets. From 2011, the Atmospheric Correction Microwave Radiometer (ACMR) on HY-2 provides similar measurement.
Firstly, we report on our efforts towards a fully inter-calibrated and validated physical retrieval of TCWV and LWP for MWR. We will address issues related to satellite inter-calibration, homogeneity of the derived time series of brightness temperatures, observation-simulation biases, and provided first results of fully physical retrievals.
Secondly, an outlook on ongoing and planned activities within Dragon-4 will be given and the importance of the results in light of the upcoming Sentinel-3 mission and the HY-2 series will be discussed.

The Generation of Sensor Independent Radiometric Product for Field Calibration and its Application Demonstration
1Academy of Opto-Electronics, CAS, China, People's Republic of; 2Key Laboratory of Quantitative Remote Sensing Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing,China; 3Wave Interaction & Propagation Section (TEC-EEP), European Space Agency, Noordwijk, The Netherlands
Calibration and validation (Cal&Val) is one of the most important means for assuring satellite payload performance and data quality. It could guarantee the accuracy of the retrieved information, make the remote sensing data consistent and traceable, and maintain the sensor performance during the operational phase. The challenges in the Cal&Val include the lack of consistent remote sensing (RS) product assessment standards, the uncertainties introduced by atmospheric effect, as well as the gaps in non-synchronous measurements between satellite observation and in situ measurements. In this project, great achievement has been done in carrying out cooperative research on the high-frequency optical calibration with the aid of the Radiometric Calibration Network (RadCalNet) activities and permanent targets over Baotou site in China.
(1) Development of automated radiometric calibration system and its operations. On benefit of RadCalNet and the cooperation of the Cal&Val experts from European and Chinese intuitions in the DRAGON programme, the automated surface spectral reflectance measurement system has being developed and installed over four permanent targets with different reflectance in Baotou site, which can automatically and traceably acquire the target characteristics and atmospheric parameters. In consideration of the land surface variety and the adjacent effect, the TOA radiance is simulated with the input of a background reflectance driving the MODTRAN, and the Level 1 BOA reflectance product is generated according to the input files defined by RadCalNet data center.
(2) Automated radiometric calibration demonstration for Chinese and European satellites. The data portal for standard product service has been established under the leadership of ESA, and now is in operation. Since the late last year, ESA have organized test users to calibrate their satellites using the RadCalNet standard products over four demonstrated sites. Among them, the predicted TOA radiance over Baotou site is compared with the observations of Sentinel-2a, ZY-3, GF-1, etc. This is not only important to validate the calibration capability of Baotou site, but also would greatly benefit improving the calibration accuracy of optical sensors, and assuring the data consistency from different sensors.
(3) The uncertainty analysis on the standard radiometric calibration product. The calibration uncertainty over Baotou site include the following aspects: 1) Traceable accuracy and measurement repeatability of the automated measurement system, traced to the primary standard of NPL through the transfer calibrator; 2) Non-uniformity and BRDF effect of the ground standard targets; 3) Measurement errors of typical atmospheric parameters, which are given by AERONET since the sun-photometer Cimel CE-318 in Baotou site has been included in AERONET; 4)Adjacent effect, caused by the point spread function (PSF) of the imaging system and the multiple scattering among surface and atmosphere; 5) Uncertainty aroused by radiative transfer calculation of MODTRAN, which is simulated based on Monte-Carlo theory.

1Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, People's Republic of; 2University of Chinese Academy of Sciences,Beijing, China; 3Belgium Institute for Space Aeronomy, Brussels, Belgium
A ground-based MAX-DOAS and a Bruker IFS 125HR have been deployed in Xianghe Station, Northern China, of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and another Bruker IFS 125M has been installed in Xinglong Station. The MAX-DOAS has been running for more than ten years, providing a large number of high quality data of NO2, SO2, etc., for deriving their trends, and for validating the satellite products of OMI, GOME-2, and SCIMACHY. In Xianghe station, CIMEL sunphotometer, gas analyzers, automatic meteorological station, and a 100-meter tower can provide aerosol optical properties, air quality status, and meteorological conditions in the planet boundary layers. The two Bruker FTIR instruments in Xianghe and Xinglong stations aim at providing the greenhouse gas such as CO2, CH4, N2O, and for validation of GOSAT, OCO-2, and TanSat products in future. The FTIR in Xinglong station has been operating for more than one year, and some data has been obtained, which has been used for validation of GOSAT products.

Research on Calibration, Validation and Retrievals on Satellite-based Microwave Instruments
National Space Science Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, People's Republic of
Global monitoring of precipitation is important because of its significant human consequences. However, the multiplicity of hydrometeor types and their small- and large-scale spatial inhomogeneities make accurate measurements difficult. For example, rain gauge measurements are significantly impaired by wind, poor global coverage, and the non-uniformity of rain. Both ground-based radars and passive microwave satellite sensors sense precipitation aloft and are generally unable to discern how much of that precipitation evaporates before impact.
The paper develops a passive sub-millimeter precipitation retrievals algorithm for Microwave Humidity and Temperature Sounder (MWHTS) onboard the Chinese Feng Yun 3C (FY-3C) satellite. The retrieval algorithm employs a number of neural network estimators trained and evaluated using the validated global reference physical model NCEP/WRF/ARTS, and works for seawater. NCEP data per 6 hours are downloaded to run the Weather Research and Forecast model WRF, and derive the typical precipitation data from the whole world. The Atmospheric Radiative Transfer Simulator ARTS is feasible for performing simulations of atmospheric radiative transfer. Rain detection algorithm has been used to generate level 2 products. Retrievals are reliable for surface precipitation rate higher than 0.1 mm/h at 15km resolution, which is in good agreement with those retrieved using the Precipitation retrieval algorithm version 1(ATMP-1) for Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) aboard Suomi NPP satellite.
Meanwhile, calibration and validation between similar instruments onboard different satellites are also important to ensure the validity of observations and accuracy of precipitation retrievals. In the ongoing work, we are going to carry out the calibration and validation among FY-3C MWHTS, FY-3B MWHS and ATMS.
Lab Evaluation of Nitrogen Dioxide Spectral Analysis of the Environmental trace gases Monitoring Instrument
1University of Science and Technology of China, China, People's Republic of; 2Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany; 3Meteorological Institute, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany
The Environmental trace gases Monitoring Instrument (EMI) onboard Chinese high-resolution remote sensing satellite GF-5 is an imaging differential optical absorption spectrometer, expected to be launched in September of 2017. The EMI instrument will measure earthshine radiances with the wavelength range from 240 to 710 nm at moderate spectral resolution (0.3-0.5nm) at nadir. The EMI is tasked with quantitatively measuring global distribution of tropospheric and stratospheric trace gases such as NO2, O3, and SO2. The prelaunch calibration phase is essential to acquire necessary knowledge on the properties and performance of the EMI instrument as well as support data processing and retrieval. This work focus on nitrogen dioxide retrieval from on-ground measurements of gas cell and atmospheric scattering light, and an evaluation of the performance of the EMI instrument from the retrieval.

This was one of the first meetings for the Music City chapter and it was great to get in a group as it was just starting. After about 10mins of chat I realized that these were my kinda people...hexies, white space, and designer names ran amok in the conversations.
Our generous sponsor Burgundy Buttons (a local fabric retailer) owned by Leah brought GOODIE BAGS! She's a rockstar. They were filled with samples of the Java fabric line designed by Deb Strain for Moda. This was a great line full of great brown and teal combos...Just perfect for mug rugs! Burgundy buttons has a great mug rug challenge going on right now! We all worked on our mug rugs for a few hours and chatted about quilts. Perfect for a cloudy/rainy Saturday. I finished mine on Sunday:

Allison Tant cant find a major candidate to run against Jeff Atwater and Adam Putnam. Right now, theres only one major Democratic challenger running against a sitting Florida senator. Few Republicans in the Florida House are facing credible Democrats.
But Taddeo-Goldstein is trying to put up a fight in South Florida. On Tuesday, she announced every Miami-Dade Republican in the Florida House would face competition this year. Seven Democrats filed to run for seats currently held by Republicans on Tuesday -- with some of them offering somewhat credible threats to sitting House members.
House District 105: Carlos Pereira filed to run on Tuesday against Carlos Trujillo. Pereira is well-known in the area for his work in the community and he leads the Venezuelan-American Democratic Club. But this is a Republican district where Rick Scott beat Alex Sink by 10 percent back in 2010 and the GOP has an advantage over Democrats when it comes to registered voters. Trujillo had raised $104,525 by the end of April but hes burning through his cash, already spending $76,250. Still, hes a proven fundraiser and this is a pretty strong GOP district. Trujillo should have the edge here.
House District 110: Democrat Nelson Milian is running against Jose Oliva. Milian has an interesting background in technology and business, even launching a summer camp to tie technology to the arts. But that wont be enough here where Scott beat Sink by 20 percent and Oliva is sitting on $160,000. Milian is a major underdog against Oliva and this one seems out of reach for the Democrats.
House District 111: Democrats are turning to former prosecutor and Marine vet Mariano Corcilli for the seat being vacated by term-limited Eddy Gonzalez. Corcilli has a strong resume but this is a district where Scott ran over Sink by 30 percent and Republicans have a heavy advantage in registration over the Democrats. Miami-Dade Republican Party Vice Chair Bryan Avila is the favorite here over Anthony Alexander and Alberto Amador in the primary. Even with a primary, Republicans have a strong advantage here.
House District 115: On paper this should be a competitive race as Army vet Kristopher Decossard runs as a Democrat against Michael Bileca. Sink edged Scott here despite there being more Republicans here than Democrats. Bileca has only raised $67,000 and has relied on $45,000 in loans. But hes kept his burn rate low, spending less than $11,650. If Decossard can raise some funds, he can make a race of this, but Bileca is the favorite here.
House District 116: This race will garner the headlines even if it doesnt look that competitive. Juan Cuba is the executive director of the Miami-Dade Democrats and was a key leader in South Florida for Barack Obamas campaign. Cuba is taking on rising star Jose Felix Diaz and that is a tough assignment. Scott beat Sink here by 20 percent and Republicans have a large registration advantage over Democrats. With Diaz sitting on more than $106,000, he has a clear edge no matter what Cubas background includes.
House District 118: Omar Rivero knows how to use online outreach for politics, creating an online community with more than 300,000 activists. But Frank Artiles wont be an easy out. The Miami Republican has around $76,000 on hand and Republicans have a solid edge over Democrats in party registrations. Rivero will be hard-pressed to make a fight here.
House District 119: Teacher Milagro Ruiz has an uphill climb against Jeanette Nunez in this solid Republican district. With more than $147,000 already in the bank, Nunez has a big head start in the money chase in this district where Scott beat Sink by 6 percent. Ruiz has a slim chance at best of beating Nunez.
To their credit, the Democrats seem to understand the challenge they have on their hands.
"We know this will be an uphill battle, but it's a necessary one, Cuba said. We couldn't be more excited to offer voters of Miami-Dade a better choice than the status quo -- and to hold the Republican incumbents accountable for their lack of leadership on issues important to their constituents.
But at least the Miami Democrats are keeping the Republicans occupied. The same cant be said of other Democrats across Florida.

The sun may destroy Comet ISON
Comet ISON will reach perihelion, the closest point to the sun in its orbit, on Thanksgiving and it may not survive the encounter. If it does, we could be in for a spectacular view of the celestial object, as its close-encounter could cause the comet to break up a bit and elongate its tail, the signature beauty of all comets. Should it survive, those of us in the northern hemisphere should be able to see the comet in the east-southeast sky just before dawn throughout the first half of December. Both NASA and Slate have several excellent photos taken from observatories and by astrophotographers.

Out-of-this-world visitors show up in Antarctica
No, not aliens. The IceCube detector array in Antarctica has detected a total of 28 neutrinos, tiny high-energy particles travelling at the speed of light. Neutrinos are so small that billions of them pass through everything everyday without any hint of interaction. The IceCube array is made up of a series of photodetectors buried deep, 2 kilometers deep, in the antarctic ice. It detected the neutrinos using cherenkov radiation, picking up the incredibly small, brief flashes of light that occur when a neutrino comes into contact with the atoms that make up the ice. Based on the energy readings, the researchers have determined that the source of the neutrinos is outside of our solar system. You can read the study on Arxiv (pdf).

Neanderthal virus still present in our DNA
A new study published in the journal Current Biology compared DNA from our ancient, evolutionary cousins the Neanderthal and Denisovan with DNA collected from cancer patients. They found evidence of viruses that had infected the Neanderthal and Denisovan man present in the DNA of modern humans. Since the Neanderthal and Denisovan sub-species existed in tandem with modern homo sapiens, this points to the virus originating in our shared 400,000 year old, or older, ancestors.

Native Americans traced to Siberian boy
Another study, this time published in Nature, analyzed the DNA from a 24,000 year old Siberian boy and found two surprises. The first, especially when paired with the statue found at the grave site, suggests a migration from western Europe much further east than previously thought. Parts of the boys genome matched what is currently found in western Europeans. The second discovery, was that the boy shared a portion of his genome with Native Americans, suggesting further that a camp of peoples in the Siberian region made the cross over into North America during the last ice age. Further, the Siberian boy did not contain any DNA common to East Asian populations at the time, which Native Americans share a significant ancestry. So the meetup between this Siberian population, and the East Asian population, becoming what is now the Native American population, occurred after the boys death.

New Dino dwarfs mighty T-Rex
A new species of dinosaur was discovered in southeastern Utah, and researchers are saying the Siats dinosaur, named after a cannibalistic monster of Ute legend, would have dwarfed the monstrous Tyrannosaurus Rex. The specimen they found, though only a juvenile, is estimated to be 9 meters (30 ft.) long, where an adult t-rex would measure up to about 12 meters (40 ft). In a statement to Western Digs, Dr. Lindsay Zanno, a paleontologist at North Carolina State University who co-discovered the new species said "contemporary tyrannosaurs would have been no more than a nuisance to Siats, like jackals at a lion kill." Crucially, the discovery of Siats fills a gap between the Acrocanthosaurus, which ruled North America 120 million years ago, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which ruled about 68 million years ago. The Siatz fossil is dated at about 100 million years ago.

Pairing with the discovery of the Neanderthal virus, genome analysis suggests interbreeding between modern humans, Neanderthals, Denisovans and another, unknown population of early humans.
A paper, published in Nature Geoscience, is making the case that we are being too protective of Mars, and that we should re-evaluate our policies as they could be hindering a more active exploration of the solar system.
A collection of four different studies published in Science is taking a close look at the largest gamma ray burst ever recorded. The burst occurred earlier this year and lasted for 20 hours, with an explosion that had about 35 billions times the energy of visible light, three times the previous record.
About 600 miles south of Tokyo, a volcanic eruption has birthed some new territory for Japan. The island is only about 660 ft. in diameter and has yet to be named, as Japanese officials are waiting to see if it will stick around, or be reclaimed by the sea.
Another volcano, this time in Antarctica, has been discovered under 1 kilometer of ice. Researchers seem certain that it will erupt, though it is unlikely to completely melt through the ice sheet. Its eruption though, could speed up rate of ice-mass lost in Antarctica.
Randall Munroe, who creates the webcomic XKCD, has tried to figure out the furthest any human has been from every other living person.
The Week in Science takes a look at new discoveries, new technologies and new breakthroughs from every discipline. There are many each week that I can't include and more still that I didn't even see.

Detroit's Anarcho-Transportation vs the Establishment TransportationTuesday, June 18, 2013
Andy Didorosi, the founder and CEO of the Detroit Bus Company, is an amazing and heroic entrepreneur. Almost a year ago, I blogged about Didorosi's Detroit Bus Company, a private bus service that is introducing Detroiters to anarcho-transportation and changing the way they think about transit systems.
Didorosi is expanding his gig, and quickly. He's branching out into Poletown (Hamtramck) and flirting with routes to/from nearby suburban areas. Sarah Schmid, who authored this article on Detroit Bus Company's expansion, notes:
Also in the data-collection stage is Didorosi's Take Back the Commute plan. This would be a route that carries suburban riders to their jobs in downtown Detroit. (Let me take a minute to acknowledge that this might sound headscratchingly simple to a resident of a city with functional public transit. Detroit is not that city. There's one bus system inside the city limits called DDOT and a separate bus system for the surrounding suburbs called SMART. Incredibly, the two systems don't coordinate with one another, which makes taking the bus in or out of Detroit a major pain in the ass.)
Didorosi is currently working to explore profitable routes from the 'burbs to downtown Detroit to serve those areas with his on-demand service so that he can fill the niche for the anarcho-youth and other downtown workers who are the new wave of Detroit boosters and hipsters.
One other market that Didorosi is currently exploring is occupied by the political machine monopolists who own the route to and from our Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport in Romulus (Wayne County). The ground transportation at this airport is controlled by one company that is in favor with the politicos in power – Metro Cars. I despise everything about this monopolistic monster called Metro Cars. Everyone here hates Metro Cars, including its service and the pricing scheme.
Outside of this one evil company, Metro Airport shuttle restrictions are horrid. Even the local hotels are blocked from offering a proper shuttle service because Metro cars has kissed the rotten ass of every crooked government official in Wayne County in order to hold onto its government-granted monopoly and keep hotels from serving their customers. Schmid notes the following:
Didorosi says that the newly established Regional Transit Authority has deemed a sensible bus route between the airport and metro Detroit a priority, but Didorosi expects the wheels of bureaucracy to grind so slowly that it could be years before that happens. Plus, because Metro Cars has the contract to provide ground transportation at the airport, any competing services are required to pay a fee every time they enter the airport property, which raises fares. "Metro Cars has a monopoly on land side transit, and that's fine—they paid their way in to make that happen," Didorosi says. "But in other cities, there's usually a public transit component to go along with it."
Didorosi is wrong – it's not "fine"; in fact, it's criminal, and this coercive act on the part of government raises costs and limits service choices for consumers. It's a fact that people here pick their friends up at the airport because friends don't let friends ride in Metro Cars.
Unfortunately for Didorosi, as the author points out, perhaps the only way around this monopolistic stronghold is a private-public partnership on the part of Detroit Bus Company that would allow for the potential to compete against the quasi-government Metro monopolists. He will likely be forced into some type of government alliance in order to get his business anywhere near the protected perimeter of our international airport.

Yay for getting orientation info!
Quote from: no634 on July 16, 2008, 06:06:25 PMYay for getting orientation info!I still haven't gotten mine -- maybe it'll come today. Does it tell you what section you're in?
another that said "Hey you can see your scholarship info on MyU or Onestop!"
Ok...If anyone can help a brother out finding an apartment for me and my wife. Moving around Aug. 18th or so, want to live in Uptown or Northeast (or near the west bank campus, if need be).If anyone has come across apartments that they've liked, but weren't quite right or whatnot, I'd appreciate some leads. Been checking Craigslist and other resources, but it's slow going and I won't get a chance to visit before signing the lease.Thanks!
So is anyone else planning to sign up for one of the Pre-Orientation projects with MJF?

WINNIPEG Manitoba (Reuters) - Four monkeys survived the Ebola virus after being injected with a vaccine that included Immunovaccine Inc's technology, the tiny Canadian company said on Monday, and the announcement sent its stock soaring.
The Halifax, Nova Scotia-based company said four monkeys received the vaccine and later survived a dose of Ebola virus that normally would have been lethal. Two other animals that did not receive the vaccine died within a week.
Immunovaccine, which had a market capitalization of about C$77 million ($70 million) as of Friday, is one of a handful of companies involved in testing potential vaccines for the Ebola virus, which has killed nearly 1,500 people in West Africa.
Its Ebola program started a few months ago, after the U.S. National Institutes of Health asked Immunovaccine to apply technology from the company's anthrax vaccine to Ebola. The work was part of NIH tests on possible antigens, substances that cause the immune system to produce antibodies against Ebola.
Unlike antigens in some other early-stage Ebola vaccines, Immunovaccine's antigen does not use a live virus to carry the vaccine into cells.
The company has not disclosed the nature of its antigen.
Generally, it "presents those vaccines to the immune system in a slightly different way so that the immune system processes the vaccine a lot better, and as a result produces stronger immunity to that target," Chief Executive Marc Mansour said in an interview.
He said the company is exploring options to develop the vaccine with various organizations, but would not identify them. Assuming it strikes the partnerships it needs to continue development, clinical trials could start as early as next year, he said.
Other companies testing Ebola vaccines include U.S.-based NewLink Genetics Corp, which holds the license for a vaccine developed by the Canadian government, privately held Profectus BioSciences and British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline PLC.
Immunovaccine is also developing therapies for cancer.
Its stock on the TSX Venture Exchange jumped as much as 44 percent after a trading halt, and was up 16.5 percent at C$1.13 in afternoon trading.
