RIP Tom Dowler
i got the news today that my great-grandfather, Tom Dowler, died peacefully this morning at 0920. he was very old and suffering from the advanced stages of dementia, so the family has been expecting this for a while, but i guess you can't ever prepare properly for this kind of shit.
we called him Farver - that was all we could pronounce out of "great-grandfather" as tiny kids. he and my great-grandma Doll-Doll lived very close to where i grew up, just a couple of blocks away, and they were always involved with us, always happy to see us when we came to visit. they'd break out the biscuit jar and let me eat as many ginger nuts as i could cram into my face, and they kept a stock of proper Schweppes lemonade for us. Farver would press a pound coin into our hands as kids, when it was a fuckton of money to us, and grin and tell us to go and spend it all at once. later on as i left for the University he'd give me a tenner when he saw me, even though they don't have very much money to live on. he would always bear hug me and tell me, "Stay lucky, kid. Be good."
i was lucky enough to get a proper goodbye, which was more than i managed when my gran died. lucidity was incredibly rare by last Christmas day, the last time i saw him, and i thought it had been gone completely for quite some time. for the most part, it had. he was still cheerful, and we (me, my ma and my nan) opened his presents with him in the care home and made sure his giant pillowy bed was comfy, just sort of chilling and fetching the occasional drink and talking shit with him. he was the nurses' favourite guy in the whole place. they'd just changed his bedding, given him his meds and made sure he was okay, and we'd come back in to hold his hands and make sure he fell asleep knowing there were people there with him. before he went under he looked straight at me and said, "It's okay, kid, I'm still your Farver." i gave him a hug and he fell asleep.
he was a good person who did some bad things and some really fucking good things. he fought in the Second World War, driving an amphibious tank called a duck, and helped liberate the camp at Flossenbuerg. he was also a good friend of the Kray twins. he never spoke about this - to us, he was just Farver. he loved us.
i can't say he's in a better place, but he's not suffering any longer. recquiescat in pace.

NZ tourism operator chases slice of multi-day cruise market
22 February 2012
Key NZ tourism operator chases slice of burgeoning multi-day cruise market
Leading New Zealand tourism operator Real Journeys is ramping up its multi-day cruise offerings on the back of the burgeoning cruise sector and domestic interest.
The company is significantly increasing the number of its Fiordland and Stewart Island Discovery Cruise sailings and adding three and four day short-cruise variations.
Chief Executive Richard Lauder says Real Journeys are realistic, but also encouraged by the exponential growth being experienced by the Cruise market.
"Our multi-day Discovery Cruises won't directly compete with the cruise sector, however there is going to be a slice of the market that wants something more experiential and intrepid and that's where we can really deliver.
"We are particularly focused on the Australian and domestic markets because our customer feedback tells us there are people in these regions that have a desire to not just glimpse, but explore and experience the untouched beauty and rich histories of Fiordland and Stewart Island," says Lauder.
Discovery Cruises operate with a maximum of 32 passengers on-board the purpose-built Milford Wanderer – which has been designed along the lines of a traditional sailing scow. Specialist nature guides accompany every sailing to advise on the geography, history and wildlife and host guided walks and water activities.
Lauder says the new shorter cruise options are tailored specifically for more time poor people.
"Kiwis and Aussies are often keen to explore their own wilderness regions but lack the time, our new shorter cruise options cater for these markets with all the benefits of our standard Discovery Cruise offerings."
The Discovery Cruise season runs from April to December. Fiordland options include four and five day itineraries focused on Dusky Sound, or five and seven day options that extend into Preservation Inlet. Stewart Island is offered in a six day itinerary including Port Pegasus, Port Adventure and Paterson Inlet and a new shorter three day option.
Some Fiordland cruises include helicopter transfers. Fiordland cruises depart from Manapouri with transfers available from both Queenstown and Te Anau. Stewart Island cruises depart from Bluff with transfers available from Invercargill.

How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body (WILLIAM J. BROAD, 1/08/12, NY Times Magazine)
On a cold Saturday in early 2009, Glenn Black, a yoga teacher of nearly four decades, whose devoted clientele includes a number of celebrities and prominent gurus, was giving a master class at Sankalpah Yoga in Manhattan. Black is, in many ways, a classic yogi: he studied in Pune, India, at the institute founded by the legendary B. K. S. Iyengar, and spent years in solitude and meditation. He now lives in Rhinebeck, N.Y., and often teaches at the nearby Omega Institute, a New Age emporium spread over nearly 200 acres of woods and gardens. He is known for his rigor and his down-to-earth style. But this was not why I sought him out: Black, I'd been told, was the person to speak with if you wanted to know not about the virtues of yoga but rather about the damage it could do. Many of his regular clients came to him for bodywork or rehabilitation following yoga injuries. This was the situation I found myself in. In my 30s, I had somehow managed to rupture a disk in my lower back and found I could prevent bouts of pain with a selection of yoga postures and abdominal exercises. Then, in 2007, while doing the extended-side-angle pose, a posture hailed as a cure for many diseases, my back gave way. With it went my belief, naïve in retrospect, that yoga was a source only of healing and never harm.At Sankalpah Yoga, the room was packed; roughly half the students were said to be teachers themselves. Black walked around the room, joking and talking. "Is this yoga?" he asked as we sweated through a pose that seemed to demand superhuman endurance. "It is if you're paying attention." His approach was almost free-form: he made us hold poses for a long time but taught no inversions and few classical postures. Throughout the class, he urged us to pay attention to the thresholds of pain. "I make it as hard as possible," he told the group. "It's up to you to make it easy on yourself." He drove his point home with a cautionary tale. In India, he recalled, a yogi came to study at Iyengar's school and threw himself into a spinal twist. Black said he watched in disbelief as three of the man's ribs gave way -- pop, pop, pop.After class, I asked Black about his approach to teaching yoga -- the emphasis on holding only a few simple poses, the absence of common inversions like headstands and shoulder stands. He gave me the kind of answer you'd expect from any yoga teacher: that awareness is more important than rushing through a series of postures just to say you'd done them. But then he said something more radical. Black has come to believe that "the vast majority of people" should give up yoga altogether. It's simply too likely to cause harm.Not just students but celebrated teachers too, Black said, injure themselves in droves because most have underlying physical weaknesses or problems that make serious injury all but inevitable. Instead of doing yoga, "they need to be doing a specific range of motions for articulation, for organ condition," he said, to strengthen weak parts of the body. "Yoga is for people in good physical condition. Or it can be used therapeutically. It's controversial to say, but it really shouldn't be used for a general class."

First prototype of Galileo ground segment
In a major step in the ground segment development of the Galileo program, the first stage of the Galileo System Test Bed (GSTB-V1) has been completed. It supports experimentation on the critical performances behind the services to be delivered to users by the final Galileo system.
The GSTB-V1 processing centre has been set up at the European Space Agency (ESA-ESTEC) in The Netherlands. The aim is to solve the issues surrounding positioning, timing and integrity by making use of existing navigation data. These data are collected from a globally distributed network of sensor stations established in co-operation with the International GPS Service and Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) community.
A GSTB-V1 website (www.gstb-v1.esa.int) is now online for specialists in the field of navigation and integrity. It provides GPS measurements and associated generated core products. This data provides invaluable feedback to the Galileo development teams in terms of confidence in achieving the performances of the operational system and consolidation of system design allowing mitigation of the development risks and acceleration of the schedule to meet the time to market.
A European consortium lead by Galileo Industries is carrying out the GSTB-V1 project. In a workshop they ran at ESA-ESTEC last week they presented to the user community the validated results coming out of the commissioning period: the Galileo broadcast navigation message meets the demanding target accuracy of 65 cm, the experimental Galileo System Time is accurate to within less than 1 microsecond with the Universal Time Coordinated and provides the required target stability. This is a solid basis on which the integrity experimentation can start in support of the design of the Safety of Life service.
GSTB-V1 is the first stage of the Galileo System Test Bed (GSTB). The second stage (GSTB-V2) consists of two experimental satellites. These are being built by Galileo Industries and Surrey Space Technology Limited respectively and are planned for launch by end 2005.
Galileo is an initiative of the European Commission and the European Space Agency. Galileo will be a global navigation satellite infrastructure under civil control. It will ensure European sovereignty in future traffic management services and many other application areas.

SimCity residents might have to put their city-building dreams on hold.
A reboot of the popular video game launched on Tuesday in North America and it has been rife with bugs and connectivity issues, leaving fanboys waiting for hours before they can begin building their cities. The game was released in Europe on Wednesday and in the U.K. on Thursday.
Gamers have taken to Electronic Arts' forum to air their grievances about overloaded servers, error messages and the unimaginable -- losing entire cities.
U.S. & World
"That I can't play at 7am in the morning two days after launch because the servers are 'full' seems ludicrous" wrote one user on EA's forum.
Amazon temporarily stopped selling the digital version of the game. And while they continue to sell the boxed version, the online retailer is warning potential buyers of its issues.
"Many customers are having issues connecting to the SimCity servers," the note says. "EA is actively working to resolve these issues, but at this time we do not know when the issue will be fixed."
SimCity requires players to be connected online to play the game so they can share resources with other players. This is unlike other games where players can play portions of the game offline if there are Internet issues, according to USA Today. This feature also safeguards the company against software piracy.
The problem is exacerbated by the lack of resources needed to accomodate the surge of gamers logging on for a highly anticipated and popular video game, according to CNET.
SimCity is a simulation game where players, or "mayors," are tasked with building and maintaining a virtual city. The game was first launched in 1989 and has inspired different versions sold worldwide.
Senior Producer Kip Katsarelis issued a statement on the forum to assuage users lobbing complaints.
"We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and enthusiasm from our fans which has made it even more upsetting for us that technical issues have become more prominent in the last 24 hours" he wrote on Wednesday. "We are hitting a number of problems with our server architecture, which has seen players encountering bugs, and long wait times to enter servers. This is, obviously, not the situation we wanted for our launch week and we want you to know that we are putting everything we have at resolving these issues."
But as of Thursday, the complaints kept pouring in with many asking for refunds and compensations in the form of additional special buildings.
"EA launched what was supposed to be one of the most anticipated games of 2013, and it doesn't even work properly," one person wrote. "Here's an idea: shut all servers down until you actually get it fixed, and those of us who have already purchased the game, compensate us with the European buildings pack upon actually getting the game to where it works."

|Scientists say carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere are shooting up faster than anyone predicted. What does that mean for climate change -- and for plans to limit carbon emissions? Several new papers take a new look at the issue -- with one arguing that it might be time to scrap the Kyoto Protocol and look for a new approach to curbing gas emissions. Another paper argues that even though there is still a large degree of uncertainty in climate change predictions, climate scientists may never be able to predict atmospheric conditions with a much higher degree of certainty -- and so governments should be moving to immediate action, not planning more research before taking action. In this segment, Ira talks with researchers about greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.

Law School Admissions / Re: U Penn or Northwestern?« on: June 23, 2008, 01:01:55 PM »
You're right, EarlCat. It's not even on offer this fall--but people who start in fall 2009 would finish with us. I know they interviewed employers who said they don't care, but I can't imagine this being a "positive" for employers. Or for the students who do it, actually. Or for Northwestern's reputation. It just seems like a bad idea all around.
Northwestern's 2 year JD is in response to requests by employers for just such a program. This article has a pretty comprehensive analysis of the program and how the Dean arrived at the decision to offer it. http://www.elsblog.org/the_empirical_legal_studi/2008/06/nwu-laws-2-year.html
And while I'm biased because I go to NU, I did choose NU over Penn, after getting off the waitlist unexpectedly at Penn. I love NU because of the people and I really can't imagine a better group of people with which to go to school. At the end of the day I think the schools are pretty similar in terms of quality,so you should pick wherever you feel most comfortable.

Fairfax County and VDOT have put together a two-day hackathon on transportation and mobility. Teams are invited to use publically available datasets to solve pressing transportation issues.
Smart cities offer more and more real-time information
provided by sensor networks and traffic cameras. This information can be
very valuable for transportation planing and analysing user behaviour.
For instance, knowing which parking spots are currently available close
to my destination is very valuable in order to reduce the travel time
and thus, maximize the resource usage and minimize the traffic load. The
future development of this information is usually uncertain (i.e.
non-deterministic). However, algorithms for routing applications should
consider that new information will become available during travelling
along the computed path. In order to exploit the provided information to
a full extend, it is not sufficient to compute a static route or travel
plan because the optimality of the plan might degrade as the state of
the environment might consistently change.
In order to plan transportation and understand observed trajectories in
smart environments, it is necessary to compute action policies instead
of static routes. A policy provides the most promising action for all
situations and in particular, the encountered situations. Analogously,
it makes sense to understand human behaviour based on the sequence of
decisions in the encountered situations. To compute and analyse
policies, the field of reinforcement learning already provides a rich
set of tools.

"Industry 4.0" is shorthand for what the World Economic Forum calls "the Fourth Industrial Revolution." The invention of the steam engine and construction of railroads brought the first industrial revolution in the 18th century. A second industrial revolution began in the 19th century with the advent of mass production. Digital computers heralded a third industrial revolution beginning in the 1960s. Today, the drivers of Industry 4.0 include "a ubiquitous and mobile internet, smaller, cheaper, and more powerful sensors, and artificial intelligence and machine learning." Industry 4.0 is manifest in an Internet of Things that's connecting billions of devices, and is likely to attract trillions in spending, in the coming decade. Many IoT devices "know where they are can act on their locational knowledge." Foresman's and Luscombe's proposed Second Law of Geography claims that spatially enabled things have increased financial and functional utility. This increased utility, they argue, creates the basis for a spatially enabled economy.
However, other thought leaders worry that the Fourth Industrial Revolution may threaten many of today's workers with "technological unemployment." Not just the IoT, but international finance, social media, other human activities generate an unprecedented and ever-increasing volume, velocity and variety of data. Some foresee that human analysts and their employers will rely increasingly on machine learning and artificial intelligence to cope with the data deluge. Many already do. A body of research by economists, tech leaders, and forward-looking historians anticipates fundamental disruption of traditional employment by increasingly capable machines. This presentation will consider the implications of the IoT, and broader trends in data-driven discovery, for GIS work and workforce development.

The Dyslexic Edge: Alternative Pathways to STEM Excellence
Currently in the United States, 15-20% of our students have dyslexia, yet our elementary school reading curriculum is not appropriate for these learners due to the fact that they, "…simply are not able to categorize the sounds of language or connect sound to meaning in the same way as other students." (Marshall, 2013) In the early grades especially, the curriculum takes up the majority of learning time, The average elementary school spends 520 minutes per week on Language Arts, and only 352 minutes per week on math instruction. (McMurrer, 2008). This leaves students with dyslexia feeling isolated and unintelligent, ultimately losing confidence and the joy of learning. Faced with less than ideal prospects, these students are denied access to so many pathways to success and in some cases turn to a life of crime evident in the fact that 48% of our current prison population is dyslexic.
Simultaneously, these students are not exposed to subjects that many of them would excel in, namely science, math, engineering and technology, or STEM. Moskal (2014) states, "some researchers speculate that these brain differences, which result in challenges to language development, may provide dyslexic students with an advantage in STEM." Referencing Davis and Braun (2010) in "The Gift of Dyslexia", Moskal explains the difference between two-dimensional and three-dimensional reasoning, the latter used by many dyslexic students in problem solving. Dyslexic students are more flexible in their ability to look at problems from different angles without changing their own position, a skill which is helpful in physical science but creates reading challenges in that a change in angles quickly turns a "b" into a number of other letters.
So, what if instead of shuttling these students through the door leading to poverty, limited opportunity, and in some cases prison, we slid that door closed and opened one leading to a life filled with following their passion? Come learn how we can change the tide for these students not only so they can reach their full potential but also so that all of us can benefit. We will discuss briefly what dyslexia is before moving onto how we can better teach students from K to Workforce and do our part here in Northern Virginia to create alternative pathways to STEM excellence.
Krista K. Gauthier is the founder and Executive Director of Sliding Doors STEM & Dyslexia Learning Center, an innovative after-school program for children with dyslexia in grades 1-5. Krista first conceived of Sliding Doors (or SDSquared for short) when, as a parent of a child with dyslexia, she noticed that the access she was able to provide her daughter in both remediation and STEM enrichment was denied to so many for a variety of reasons. Also, in taking this journey with her daughter, Krista realized that people with dyslexia are uniquely suited to excel in STEM fields. She knew that helping ALL children with dyslexia reach their full potential could help us all by funneling them onto STEM pathways and encouraging them to take their place as our future innovators.
Krista has over 10 years of experience in education, both as a teacher and as a researcher in educational theory and curriculum. Krista holds a Bachelor's Degree in Literature from Boston College and a Master's Degree in Literature from Northeastern University. Krista used those degrees in her role as a high school English teacher in Denver Colorado and then began a PhD in Educational Anthropology at the University of Colorado Boulder with a focus on gender issues in education. At Boulder, Krista was the lead researcher on a National Science Foundation grant to help middle and high school girls pursue engineering. After taking time to raise her two daughters, Krista served as a development director for a NOVA Catholic School and most recently worked as the STEM Programs Director for a non-profit called RoboNation. Krista has taken this myriad of experiences to found and build Sliding Doors.

U.N. report: Uranium traces found at site in Syria
(CNN) -- The U.N. nuclear agency said it found traces of uranium from samples retrieved at a Syrian site suspected to be the location of a nuclear site, according to a report posted Thursday on the Institute for Science and International Security Web site.
The site was bombed by Israeli aircraft in September 2007, and the report said Syria says the missiles that destroyed the building at the site were the source of the uranium particles.
The International Atomic Energy Agency's report said that the uranium particles "are of a type not included in Syria's declared inventory of nuclear material" and that "there is a low probability that the uranium was introduced by the use of missiles."
But "the presence of the uranium particles," site imagery and procurement information "need to be fully understood," it said.
Syria needs to provide more information and documentation about "the use and nature" of a building that was bombed and its procurement activities, the report said. And Syria "needs to be transparent by providing access to other locations alleged to be related" to the site.
In the report, IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei urged Israel and other states to make relevant information available to the agency and agree to the IAEA sharing the information with Syria.
In November, the agency asked Israel to provide information in response to Syria's claims that its munitions could have been the source of the uranium particles.
Israel said in a December 24 letter that "it rejects Syrian claims on the matter" and that "Israel could not have been the source of the uranium particles found on the site of the nuclear reactor."
In November, ElBaradei confirmed that his agency found traces of "man-made uranium" at a site in eastern Syria. IAEA inspectors collected soil samples from the Al-Kibar site in June.
ElBaradei said at the time that a report would be issued.
He added that the findings do not necessarily mean the Syrians were building a reactor and cautioned against rushing to judgment. But he urged more "transparency" from the Syrian government in its dealings with the IAEA and deplored the "unilateral" Israeli bombing of the Syrian site.
Syrian authorities have reacted angrily to accusations that they were building a nuclear reactor. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moualem suggested that any trace of uranium unearthed at the military site in eastern Syria came from Israeli bombs.

Happening in O Town
The Past week and a half in O-Town has been Poppin' to say the least. I've been doing my best to get around the town and see what everyone has been up to and here is what I found…I sort of feel like a sl%t for wakeboarding but it's all for the sake of keeping you up to date on the newest hotness in the sunshine state.
Watson's – On my quest to Watson's place I found myself in the midst of a video shoot with Australian filmmaker Josh Robinson. Josh is in town for the next month and a half living at Watson's pad with Chris O'Shea and shooting on a daily basis for his follow up film to "Canvas" which was just released a couple of months ago. Joining us for the day was Collin Harrington who was amped to be home for a while and focusing on riding. Chris O hit some huge wrapped backside spins off the double up as well as a wrapped heel 7 straight to toe 9 off the wake. I'm guessing Watson's MASSIVE wake had a little something to do with it because we were riding as if we'd been taking wakeboard steroids that day.
Clear Lake – My next venture was a quick set with Ruck that ended up turning into an Australian wakeboard day with riders like Scotty Broom, Mitch Langfield, Sam Thompson, Dean Smith and a few other's who's name I could not understand because I don't speak Australian. Haha! Just kidding. It all started when Ruck and I made our way over to Collin Harrington's dock and noticed that the boat was gone, so Erik volunteered to "taxi" me out to the riding boat and sign me up for a riding time. It felt like we were at a country club signing up for a tee-time simply because there were about 8 guys all waiting to ride. Needless to say this "quick" set with Ruck turned into a photo shoot for the Australian wakeboard magazine. Shot-out to Sam Thompson who has some serious style behind the boat.
Murray's – The final leg of my Orlando wakeboarding tour took me to Shaun Murray's Property to wakeboard with Keith Lyman who is temporarily keeping his boat on lake Narcoossee next door to Shaun's pad. While I didn't actually get to ride with Shaun himself I did get to sla him a high five as well as his daughter Haley. Joining us on the boat for the riding session were Aussie ladies Amber Wing and Haley Smith. We had great talk's about the facebook and it's effect on relationships and also got to see Amber's minute long handstand. Don't tell the girls but I managed to aqua-dook in the lake as the boat came around to pick me up without anyone noticing. You know what they say…practice makes perfect. Haha! Gross but totally awesome at the same time right!?

Fifty-one per cent would vote to leave the European Union while 49 per cent prefer the status quo. Today's poll broadcast by Sky News must give us all pause for thought.
That being said, the results of the survey come with a significant health warning from Survation, the company who carried out the work, who state:
"A great deal of this opinion, however, is subject to change. 61% of 'OUT' voters would reconsider if certain key policy areas were renegotiated for the UK. Meanwhile 80% of current 'IN' voters would consider leaving if certain aspects of potential future EU integration were forced on the UK, being made to join the Euro chief among them."
"Part of the uncertainty almost certainly stems from a lack of awareness of the EU and what exactly it means for the UK. Only 17% and 13% of respondents recognised a picture of the European Commission President José Manuel Barroso and European Council President Herman Van Rompuy respectively, compared to 71% who recognised German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Clearly awareness of the EU's institutions is very low in the UK, when compared with awareness of the politics of other prominent European countries."
"Similarly only 37% of respondents correctly guessed from 6 options that there were 27 countries in the EU, which suggests only around 25%, actually knew the correct response rather than guessing. 12% of respondents thought that there were as many as 36 countries in the EU. Meanwhile, of people who were not sure how they would vote in a referendum, the most common reason given was that they were "not sure what an 'out' vote would actually mean for the UK in terms of our new relationship with Europe".
The EU debate more than almost anything else I have encountered over many years of political activism suffers from lack of clarity and lack of knowledge. For instance, voters do not really know what powers David Cameron seeks to repatriate. Even the debate on the 130 odd justice and home affairs measures which led the headlines not so long ago seems to have now disappeared into the long grass, possibly a deliberate ploy by Home Secretary Theresa May.
David Cameron is tellingly very quiet on other repatriation possibilities, mainly because they are just that – possibilities. As regular readers of this blog will know, I have long believed that unilateral repatriation is a complete non-starter. Why on earth would the 26 other EU member states agree to something demanded by only one of their number? 26:1 seems to me improbably long odds.
However, we should not rule out meaningful reform of the EU and its institutions. Reform from the inside is the only way Britain can go, though I concede that progress is often painfully slow. However, change does happen. The Common Fisheries Policy has been amended to do away with the ludicrous demand that certain fish be discarded and thrown back into the sea. As far as the European Parliament is concerned, we now have powers to co-legislate along with the EU member states. There is a long list of treaties from Maastrich to Lisbon which have amended the way the EU operates. This is how reform will happen, not by David Cameron having a hissy fit and taking his bat home, and we need to be there to protect our national interest.
The Labour Party is committed to a hard headed and patriotic case for EU reform. First out of the starting blocks will be a call for restraint and reform of the EU budget together with measures to stimulate growth and jobs across the continent. To this end Labour will look for agreement to appoint an EU Commissioner for Growth.
Since immigration is the number one public concern regarding the European Union, Labour will put in train talks to reform the transitional arrangements setting the terms for immigration from the new member states while at the same time seeking to reform the payment of family related benefits to EU migrants. There will also be a demand that the EU collect data on EU migration flows.
And Labour will also work to abolish the Strasbourg circus, whereby MEPs traipse to the Alsatian capital twelve times a year amid much expense and disruption.
The Survation survey shows an extremely low level of knowledge about the EU across the population of the United Kingdom. I passionately believe we as a nation need to address this. Ignorance is never blissful and, whatever your point of view on the EU, I do not believe anyone can defend the current situation whereby people don't have the tools to actually know what is happening in an institution this country has belonged to for 40 years.

Joint Polarization Experiment
NSSL Polarimetric Radar Case Study Page
Doppler Radar and Remote Sensing Research
WSR-88D Open RDA Development Project
Engineers at the National Severe Storms Laboratory are currently working to develop a polarimetric NEXRAD Doppler radar. Polarimetric technology should be available for installation into the national radar network in 5-10 years.
Click here to view animated GIF images that depict differences between non-polarimetric and polarimetric radars.
Weather radars transmit short pulses of radio waves at a rate of approximately 1000 pulses per second, with each pulse lasting only about a millionth of a second. After each pulse, there is a short time period during which the radar is not transmitting. Rather, during this time the radar is listening for a "reflected signal" from the cloud. This reflected signal is the result of the energy from the transmitted pulse interacting with cloud (cloud water and cloud ice) and precipitation (snow, ice pellets, hail, and rain) particles. A small portion of the power is then returned to the radar, received by the antenna, and analyzed by the radar signal processor to determine an estimate of the rain or snow rate.
Doppler radars have the added capability of being able to measure a frequency shift that is introduced into the reflected signal by the motion of the cloud and precipitation particles. This frequency shift is then used to determine wind speed.
Here, we discuss topics that will hopefully lead to a better understanding of polarimetric radar design, operation, and capabilities.
Other than the Doppler frequency shift, there are essentially two processes by which the cloud and precipitation particles interact with the radar's power and phase (position of the wave crest). The first is backscattering. The second is a propagation effect.
Given the wide variety of precipitation types, shapes, and sizes of cloud and precipitation particles, it is easy to see how the interpretation of reflected radar signal can become quite complicated. Listed below are just a few of the complicating factors:
Figure 1a: Example of the structure of a horizontally polarized radio wave. The electric field wave crest is oriented in the horizontal direction (blue in this figure). The magnetic field wave crest is oriented in the vertical direction (white in this figure).
Figure 1b: Example of the structure of a vertically polarized radio wave. The electric field wave crest is oriented in the vertical direction (red in this figure). The magnetic field wave crest is oriented in the horizontal direction (white in this figure).
As can be seen in Fig. 1, the electric and magnetic fields are oriented at 90 degree angles to each other. This concept is important for understanding what is meant by polarization. That is, the polarization of the radio wave is defined as the direction of orientation of the electric field wave crest. Thus, in Fig 1a, the polarization is horizontal since the electric field wave crest (shown in blue) is aligned along the horizontal axis. In Fig. 1b, the polarization is vertical since the electric field wave crest (shown in red) is aligned along the vertical axis.
Polarimetric radars gain additional information about the precipitation characteristics of clouds by essentially controlling the polarization of the energy that is transmitted and received.
Since polarimetric radars transmit and receive two polarizations of radio waves, they are sometimes referred to as dual-polarization radars. The difference between non-polarimetric and polarimetric radars is illustrated below:
Figure 2a: Non-polarimetric radars, such as NEXRAD, transmit and receive only horizontal polarization radio wave pulses. Therefore, they measure only the horizontal dimension of cloud and precipitation particles.

Figure 2b: Polarimetric radars transmit and receive both horizontal and vertical polarization radio wave pulses. Therefore, they measure both the horizontal and vertical dimensions of cloud and precipitation particles. This additional information leads to improved radar estimation of precipitation type and rate.
Engineers at the National Severe Storms Laboratory are currently working to develop a polarimetric NEXRAD Doppler radar. Polarimetric technology should be available for installation into the national radar network in 5-10 years. It should be noted that a polarimetric upgrade does not replace Doppler technology. Rather, it complements it. Doppler capabilities give information on cloud motion. Polarimetric capabilities give information on precipitation type and rate.
Some of the fundamental variables measured by polarimetric radars, and a short description of each, are listed below:
Rainfall Example
As a simple example of how a polarimetric radar can give additional information on precipitation type and rate, let us examine a hypothetical rain event. When compared to snow, for example, rain is a very simple precipitation type. Well, suppose it were raining and you somehow had the magical ability to suddenly stop the rain from falling, go outside to grab a cubic meter of air (including the suspended rain drops), and then take it all inside for examination. Once inside, you start removing the individual rain drops, examining each of their sizes, and adding up the total water content to get an estimate of the rain rate. For the sake of this discussion, lets assume that the first time you do this you find a few very big drops, no small ones, and get a rain rate of 0.5 inch per hour. You wait 15 minutes and then repeat the experiment. But this time you find a large number of very small drops and no big ones. But, much to your surprise, you again get a rain rate of 0.5 inch per hour!
How can this be? The number and average size of the rain drops has changed dramatically but the rain rate has not. It is because, in the first sample, the rain water was concentrated in a very small number of large drops and, in the second sample, the rainwater was concentrated in a very large number of small drops. Yet, since the reflected power returned to the radar is heavily weighted towards the largest drops (discussed in an earlier section), the power returned to the radar from the first sample might be as much as 10 times greater than the power returned to the radar from the second sample! As you can see, if you are strictly using the returned power to estimate rain rate, you might end up with either a significant overestimation or a significant underestimation of the rain rate. It would all depend on the dominant drop size. This can be a severe limitation of non-polarimetric radars.
Now suppose we have a polarimetric radar. So far, we have been assuming that rain drops are spherical in shape. In reality, that is only true for the very smallest drops. For bigger drops, drag forces as they fall through the atmosphere causes a flattening effect that results in an almost "hamburger bun" type appearance for the very big drops. If we had a polarimetric radar, we would measure differential reflectivity. That is, we would first transmit and receive a horizontal pulse of energy. This would give us an indication of the horizontal dimension of the drop. We would then transmit and receive a vertical pulse of energy. This would give us an indication of the vertical dimension of the drop. Combined, we could use this information to get a measure of the average drop shape and, in turn, dominant drop size. This could be used to refine the radar rain rate estimate.
Of course, understanding polarimetric radar power returned from oddly shaped snow, ice crystals, hail, and regions that contain mixtures of precipitation types can get quite complicated. But in each case, polarimetric radars allow us to obtain more information on the overall precipitation structure of the cloud.
The improvements associated with polarimetric radars comes from their ability to provide previously unavailable information on cloud and precipitation particle size, shape, and ice density. With this in mind, just a few of the potential applications of polarimetric radar data are listed below.
Another problem that frequently plagues radar measurements is the presence of anomalous propagation (commonly referred to as AP). AP refers to a "ground return contamination" that sometimes occurs in the radar data when a warm layer of air forms above a cold layer of air. This phenomena, which is called an inversion layer, essentially bends the radar beam back towards the ground resulting in a ground return contamination that makes it very difficult, at times, to distinguish the location and intensity of clouds and precipitation. Polarimetric radar signatures also aid in the elimination of AP.

Just in time for Halloween: This week, Dark Horse Books is releasing a new, 25th anniversary edition of Bernie Wrightson's Frankenstein.
I am resisting the urge to post a ton of drawings from the book, but there is no monitor in existence large enough and sharp enough to accommodate the size and the fine details of Wrightson's Frankenstein art. Images here are mere glimpses, very heavily cropped. You'll have to seek out the book to fully appreciate the art.
Bernie Wrightson fell in love with Frankenstein, like most of us, through the magic of the Karloff movies. As a kid, he tried to read the novel, found it opaque, incomprehensible. As an illustrator and a comic book artist, Wrightson often drew Karloffian Frankensteins, and he would eventually contribute a memorable take on the character, the Patchwork Man, for the Swamp Thing comic he co-created with writer Len Wein. Then, one day, irresistibly drawn, Bernie Wrightson returned to the novel, to be captured, finally, by the depth and the sweep of it, and to make a momentous decision. He would illustrate the novel, faithfully, as written by Mary Shelley. A self-imposed challenge, a personal mission, the job would take seven years to complete.
The result, first published in 1983, is a masterpiece. There are no definitive illustrated versions of Frankenstein. Many artists have attempted the task, and all are interesting in their interpretations, but Wrightson's version is magnificent by any standard and certainly stands with the best, up there with the genius of Lynd Ward's woodcuts.
In large, panoramic, black and white drawings, engraved in busy pen and ink, Wrightson captures the scope, the scale of the story. It's a wonderful tale to illustrate with its period costumes and majestic landscapes. Wrightson attacks it all in rigorous and dramatic detail. The action switches from Alpine glaciers to windswept fields, to fractured Arctic wastes. There's a heavily rigged sea vessel plying under churning skies, a snowbound cemetery, a study stacked with an impossible number of books. There's massive architecture, soaring windows with endless drapes and monumental doors 20 feet high.
Frankenstein's primitive lab is literally bursting with hundreds of crowded bottles and retorts, strewn books and curled parchments spilling out of chests and off packing crates, baskets and nets full of instruments, discarded skulls, and the scientist's grisly work lying on a rough slab under beams hung with pulleys and chains.
The detail is incredible, every scene rendered fully, down, it seems, to every blade of grass. And then there's the true measure of the book: The interpretation of The Monster.
Wrightson follows Mary Shelley's description to the letter. Here, personified, is the wretched giant whose skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing… his watery eyes… his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
Wrightson's death's head Monster is perfectly realized, and then some: Wrightson is resolutely on script, accurate to Mary Shelley's description, but there's more here, there's a clear connection to Wrightson's original inspiration. Look closely; this Monster is "played" by Boris Karloff. The hooded eyes, that unmistakable lower lip. It's Karloff all right. Wrightson, brilliantly, brings Karloff full circle, back to Mary Shelley.
Long out of print, hard and expensive to find, Bernie Wrightson's Frankenstein is available again in a beautiful done hardcover from Dark Horse Press, with an introduction by Stephen King. Don't miss this one.
The book arrives in comic shops on October 29 and it's available right now through The Frankenstore.

Well i am not sure what is different with current update in PR as i think quality and natural backlink was always important
Start creating backlinks by doing directory submission.
Also start Article submission and Social bookmarking of your website.
Go for link building also for quality links.
Social media is also important, Start facebook, twitter, linkedin, stumblupon postings by creating account of your webpage in these websites.
These task really helped you out in increasing the page rank of your website.
Post blog comments in a quality blog/site which is having good page rank.
you have two chioces: the first is do some backlinks by yourself. this is a little bit difficult if you do not know how to do it. and the other is find a SEO company to help you do it. all you should do is waitting for traffic and share revenue with SEO guys.
if you want find SEO guys, i can help you. haha, my help is free:p
if you do not know some backlink skills , just tell others help you. i know some guy very good at this. PM me🆒
The most important way to increase Page Rank is increase your quality and high PR backlinks and use only quality content and always make backlinks from your niche.
Create High PR backlink, Submit quality and unique article then submit article directory, relevant Forum posting, Social bookmarking that's all. Increase your PR and traffic.
It is not so easy. You can spend years for creating content and links and the PageRank of yours to be not that high.
Search engine optimization (off-page) is the only method to increase your page rank and to get traffic from the search engines. Before proceeding with the off-page optimization, make sure that for which keywords you would like to work. I think Google adwords keyword tool can help you in deciding the right keywords for your website and its pages.

Vintaj Spring Rain ContestPosted by Kevin on March 14 at 11:52 pm
UPDATE: The contest winners have been chosen, and will be announced on April 18th! Stay tuned to the blog for the results!
A few weeks ago, the designers at Vintaj picked out some of our beads to use in their "Spring Rain" theme. They made some fantastic pieces using a combination of their own items and the beads we sent. The color scheme they chose was so beautiful and their designs turned out so well, that we thought it'd be fun to turn their Spring Rain theme into a Lima Beads design contest!
We've packaged these items into kits that you can purchase below. Here's how it works: purchase a kit, design some jewelry, and add it to the Lima Beads design gallery and be sure to select "Spring Rain 2012" from the seasonal options at the bottom. The people with the 3 most popular designs will each win a Lima Beads gift certificate. Full details are available below. Happy designing!
Embellish your design
As you'll see in the pieces Vintaj designed (below), they chose to use patinas to color the piece of Arte Metal from the kit. They also chose to use ribbon in their bracelet. For the contest, it's OK to make these sorts of additions, as long as the majority of your piece is composed of items from the kit. For example, you could use leather cord or chain in place of ribbon. You could color your metal with gilders paste, acryllic paint, or just leave it alone. It's up to you!
Here are a couple of designs from Vintaj that were inspired by the "Spring Rain" theme. See all Spring Rain designs as they're uploaded.
Official Contest Rules
- To enter your design in the contest, you must start with one of the two kits above. We have a limited quantity available… when they're gone, they're gone!
- You can make anything you want–a necklace, bracelet, earrings, or anything else. Just make sure that about 75% of your design is made up from the items in the kit.
- To submit your design to win, you need to add it to our Design Gallery. Make sure to choose "Spring Rain 2012″ from the seasonal options when you upload your design–that's important! When you're finished, your design should show up with all the other Spring Rain designs.
- There will be three winners. First prize is a $100 Lima Beads gift certificate. Second prize is a $50 gift certificate. Third prize (you guessed it) is a $25 gift certificate.
- Winners will be chosen based on a combination of how many times their design was viewed and favorited–the most popular designs win!
- All designs must be submitted to the gallery by 11:59pm on April 15th. The winners will be announced a week later.
- The MOST IMPORTANT rule is this: Be yourself, get inspired, and have fun!

Resorts, authorities: respect the rope
At the beginning of February, a snowboarder ducked a rope at a local ski area, heading into closed territory in search of fresh powder, even as people around him called for him to stop.
On the far side of the boundary, he triggered an avalanche. The 30-year-old was able to escape injury, but not law enforcement. He was later caught by the Summit County Sheriff's Office and ticketed for skiing in a closed area.
Authorities and ski resort representatives have partnered putting out the word to skiers and snowboraders to respect the ropes at local ski areas and to remain away from closed terrain, especially in the wake of recent storms, which loaded a weak-based snowpack with new weight over the last several weeks.
"With significant storms and new snowfall, we know the temptation to duck ropes is high," Breckenridge Ski Resort spokeswoman Kristen Petitt Stewart said. "However, terrain closures – whether in bounds or out of bounds – are all about guest safety. An area may be closed due to avalanche danger or other safety concerns."
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.
If you don't follow the rules, your comment may be deleted.

Conor Jackson had three hits and an RBI, and Graham Godfrey pitched seven innings to win in just his second major league start for Oakland.
The A's ended a six-game losing streak against the Giants and have won three straight under interim manager Bob Melvin.
Cody Ross homered for San Francisco but the Giants couldn't overcome Lincecum's fourth straight shaky outing and a sputtering offense that continues to misfire with runners in scoring position.

Just to say hi
Sorry for replying to you so late. Thanks so much for your reply. I am also not in favor of a leg bag, mainly because I have Spina Bifida and tying a bag with myself won't be feasible for me. Currently I am on vesicare and that is working like magic. I still have to cath every 3-4 hours, but even that is a huge improvement than the hourly caths I had to go through before this pill.
I would think about the surgery in a year or so. My doctor is not in favor of putting me through any surgeries right now. I don't know why. He doesn't give me the reason.
Hope you are doing good. And ya, Happy New Year

Top quality pro tuba in BBb.
The model 5433 5/4 "The Grand BBb" Tuba is modern marvel in brass manufacturing. They appear in major symphonies across the world and are preferred by many of the world's great tubists. It is a dream professional instrument, made in the USA after many decades of the prevailing wisdom being that truly great tubas were for the most part only being produced in Europe. Case and mouthpiece are not included with this instrument.
For years tuba players, band and orchestra conductors and sound engineers have agreed that the quintessential and defining tuba sound was that produced by the historical J.W. York and Sons tubas. It is a sound that disappeared along with the old York craftsmen and the long lost J.W. York and Sons secret live metal formulas. The legendary tuba sound was the secret trademark of the famous J.W. York and Sons, "House of York" of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Due to poor record keeping, along with the sale of the company in 1940, experts agreed the sound would probably never be perfectly recreated. J.W. York and Sons had possessed significant expertise in the characteristics of the brass alloys as well as in instrumental design and construction. All of this expertise was lost.
However, after more than fifty years of trial and error experimentation by numerous American and European musical instrument companies, the sound of the J.W. York and Sons tubas has finally been reproduced to a never-before imagined degree of exactness of tone and timbre in a modern day instrument. Zigmant Kanstul of Kanstul Musical Instruments is now able to recreate the magnificent sound qualities produced by the historic J.W. York and Sons tubas!
Two tuba-playing scientist-engineers and musical archaeologists have been instrumental in allowing this exciting development to take place. Tom Treece and Robert Carpenter - both respected and internationally recognized scientists and musicians in their own rights, had been wrestling independently with the puzzle for years. The two men eventually met, and later teamed up with Zig Kanstul to conquer the mystery once and for all.
With the assistance of the U.S. Copper Development Association and the cooperation and contributions of music industry and scientific experts, Treece and Carpenter began a period of qualitative and quantitative experiments, including a year-long series of laboratory tests of brass samples taken from eight original J.W. York and Sons tubas from the early 1900s.
Utilizing the research of Treece and Carpenter, new data of molecular structure regarding the properties of the original brass, and his own usual adherence to the exactness of the physical integrity of airflow and resistance, Zig Kanstul is now able to recreate the magnificent sound qualities produced by those historic J.W. York and Sons tubas!
These "Zigmant Kanstul" tubas are currently being hand tooled and and hand crafted at the Kanstul plant in Anaheim, California, and are now being offered to the market. Before shipment, each instrument is tested by a professional tuba player.
