Article: Beaver-mediated methane emission: The effects of population growth in Eurasia and the Americas
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Globally, greenhouse gas budgets are dominated by natural sources, and aquatic ecosystems are a prominent source of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. Beaver (Castor canadensis and Castor fiber) populations have experienced human-driven change, and CH4 emissions associated with their habitat remain uncertain. This study reports the effect of near extinction and recovery of beavers globally on aquatic CH4 emissions and habitat. Resurgence of native beaver populations and their introduction in other regions accounts for emission of 0.18–0.80 Tg CH4 year−1 (year 2000). This flux is approximately 200 times larger than emissions from the same systems (ponds and flowing waters that became ponds) circa 1900. Beaver population recovery was estimated to have led to the creation of 9500–42 000 km2 of ponded water, and increased riparian interface length of >200 000 km. Continued range expansion and population growth in South America and Europe could further increase CH4 emissions.AMBIO A Journal of the Human Environment 12/2014; · 2.97 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Industrial activities in the oil sands region of Alberta, Canada have resulted in greatly elevated emissions of SO2 and N (NOx and NH3) and there are concerns over possible widespread ecosystem acidification. Acid sensitive soils in the region are common and have very low base cation weathering rates: the median base cation weathering rate estimated for 63 sites using PROFILE was just 17mmolcm(-2)yr(-1). Deposition of S and N in throughfall was approximately twice as high as deposition measured with open collectors and could be as high as 360mmolcm(-2)yr(-1) within 20km of the main industrial center, although deposition declined logarithmically with distance from the industrial activities. Base cation deposition however, mostly exceeded the combined inputs of S and N in bulk deposition and throughfall, particularly during the summer months. The potential for soil acidification at a site close (<3km) to the largest mine was assessed using the dynamic ecosystem acidification model, MAGIC (Model of Acidification of Groundwater in Catchments). Despite very low base cation weathering rates (~6mmolcm(-2)yr(-1)) and high (~250mmolcm(-2)yr(-1)) acid (S+N) deposition at the site, soil base saturation and soil solution pH and molar Ca:Al ratio were predicted to increase in the future assuming acid and base cation deposition constant at current rates. This work shows that despite extremely low soil base cation weathering rates in the region, the risk of soil acidification is mitigated to a large extent by high base cation deposition, which in contrast to S emissions is derived from fugitive dust sources in the mines, and is poorly quantified for regional modeling studies.Science of The Total Environment 06/2014; 493C:1-11. · 3.16 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]

ABSTRACT: In boreal regions of the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, there is concern over emerging acid precursor emission sources associated with the oil sands industry. Base cation weathering rates (BC(w)) and steady-state critical loads of sulfur (CL(S)) were identified for upland forest soil plots (n=107) in 45 ecodistricts according to a new method for approximation of BC(w) in the region. This method was developed by regression of simple soil and site properties with BC(w) calculated through application of a soil chemical model (PROFILE). PROFILE was parameterized using detailed physicochemical data for a subset (n=35) of the sites. Sand content, soil moisture and latitude emerged as important predictive variables in this empirical regression approximation. Base cation weathering varied widely (0.1-8000mmol(c)m(-3)yr(-1)) across the study sites, consistent with their contrasting soil properties. Several sites had lower rates than observed in other acid-sensitive regions of Canada owing to quartz dominated mineralogy and coarse-textured soils with very low surface area. Weathering was variable within ecodistricts, although rates were consistently low among ecodistricts located in the northwest of the province. Overall, half of the forest plots demonstrated CL(S) less than 45mmol(c)m(-2)yr(-1). Historically, the acidification risk in this region has been considered low and monitoring has been limited. Given the very low CL(S) in many northern ecodistricts and the potential for increased acid deposition as oil sands activities expand, soil acidification in these regions warrants further study.Science of The Total Environment 08/2012; 437:165-72. · 3.16 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Freshwater lakes are known to release carbon dioxide (CO(2)) and methane (CH(4)) to the atmosphere; however, the importance of lakes in global nitrous oxide (N(2)O) budgets is not yet known. Further, despite the abundance of small lakes on the landscape, neither emissions of these gases nor their drivers are well described. Dissolved concentrations of CO(2), CH(4) and N(2)O greenhouse gases were related to water chemistry, hydrology and catchment characteristics in order to identify factors controlling gas concentrations for 121 small Irish headwater lakes (median area: 2.0ha) in relatively undisturbed catchments; lake-atmosphere gas fluxes were also calculated. The majority of lakes were supersaturated (relative to the atmosphere) with CO(2) and N(2)O while CH(4) was above saturation in all lakes. Dissolved gas concentrations were correlated with land cover (rock, forest and grassland), deuterium excess (an indicator of hydrologic character) and lake organic carbon concentrations, although dissolved CO(2) exhibited few significant relationships. Principal components analysis indicated that higher levels of CH(4) and N(2)O supersaturation were exhibited under different conditions. Methane supersaturation was highest in low elevation catchments with an evaporative hydrologic character and high organic carbon concentrations. In contrast, lakes characteristic of N(2)O supersaturation were low in carbon and located in more rapidly flushed higher elevation catchments. Estimated fluxes of CO(2), CH(4) and N(2)O to the atmosphere averaged 14, 0.36 and 1.3×10(-3)mmolm(-2)d(-1), respectively.Science of The Total Environment 12/2011; 410-411:217-25. · 3.16 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Immobile element-based weathering estimation methods assume that Zr (or Ti) is an immobile element, and that weathering rates of other elements can be estimated according to the enrichment of Zr in weathered horizons relative to an unweathered parent material. This approach was used to estimate base cation weathering rates for 33 soil profiles on acid-sensitive terrain in north-eastern Alberta. Zirconium generally showed enrichment within the rooting zone, but the deepest (subsoil) samples were not always associated with the lowest Zr concentrations. Weathering rates estimated with the Zr depletion and Pedological Mass Balance (PMB) methods were generally low (ranges: 0–51 and 0–58mmolcm−2yr−1, respectively); however, low base cation oxide concentrations and heterogeneity within soil profiles complicated weathering rate calculations and net base cation gains were calculated for several (six) sites. Evaluation of the Zr depletion and PMB weathering estimates against those calculated with the process-oriented PROFILE model at a subset (n=9) of the sites indicated the estimates were poorly related, with PROFILE rates typically being higher. The effects-based emissions management strategy for acid precursors in this region requires spatial coverage of soil properties (including weathering rates) across a large area, but the apparent limitations associated with the immobile element based methods in this region: identifying representative parent soils and deriving weathering rate estimates comparable to more robust methods are arguments against their candidacy for future use.Geoderma 10/2011; 166(1):189-197. · 2.51 Impact Factor - Journal of Limnology. 08/2010; 69(1s):201.

ABSTRACT: Spatial and temporal variability in surface water chemistry, organic soil chemistry and hydrologic indicators were investigated at three poor-fen complexes in two boreal catchments in Northern Alberta to provide insight into the dominant controls on surface water chemistry. Improved understanding of these controls is required to enable prediction of runoff chemistry in the region under changing atmospheric deposition conditions. Surface water chemistry exhibited considerable variability; within each fen conductivity, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and Cl− tended to decrease and pH tended to increase with increasing distance from the lake edge. Variations in evaporative isotopic enrichment in 2H and 18O, expressed as deuterium excess, were used to distinguish between throughflow waters and those that were more evaporatively enriched. Throughflow surface waters were more acidic primarily due to higher concentrations of DOC and NO3−. Exchangeable base saturation and pH of organic soils were strongly related to surface water chemistry at two of the fen complexes, demonstrating the capacity for cation exchange to influence surface water chemistry. Fen surface water concentrations of most elements and DOC increased during the summer period (between June and August), while pH of water decreased. Evaporative concentration of the surface waters was a dominant driver, with surface water temperature increasing at both catchments. Localized groundwater discharge was an important contributor of base cations to the fens, while the organic soils are sinks for atmospherically deposited SO42−, N and Cl−.

ABSTRACT: Mineral soil and fibric peat from acid-sensitive western boreal catchments in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region of Alberta, Canada were evaluated for their ability to adsorb and release SO(4)(2-). Laboratory batch studies indicated that SO(4)(2-) adsorption in mineral soil from both the A and B horizons exhibits a limited response to elevated SO(4)(2-) concentrations, with the slope of initial mass isotherms <0.2 for all soils, likely due to low iron and aluminum oxide content. Although S retention is the dominant process in peat soils in the region, drought simulations in the lab using fibric peat collected from a poor fen exhibited as much as a five-fold increase in SO(4)(2-) concentration after drying and rewetting. Given the limited SO(4)(2-) adsorption capacity of mineral soils and the potential drought-induced S release from peatlands in this region where increased S deposition is expected, further investigation of acidification impacts is warranted.Journal of Environmental Quality 01/2010; 39(3):1108-12. · 2.35 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]

ABSTRACT: Industrial activities have proliferated across Canada's Athabasca Oil Sands Region in recent years, stimulating concerns over the impact of atmospheric sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions on acid-sensitive terrain. Upland jack pine forests have been identified as possibly the most sensitive ecosystem in the region but despite high emissions of SO2, sulfur (S) deposition is relatively low across much of the region. The response of forest soils at 11 locations that exhibit low estimated weathering rates (< 10 mmol(c) x m(-2) x yr(-1)) was simulated for the period 1900-2100 using a dynamic hydrogeochemical model assuming no change or doubling of S deposition. The model predicted minimal impact on soil base saturation (BS), but a decline in soil solution base cation (BC) to aluminum (Al) ratio (BC:Al). The regional effects-based emissions management framework uses modeled changes in these two parameters relative to site-specific chemical thresholds to trigger actions to reduce S emissions. Modeled changes in BS are insufficient to invoke a response. Under base case conditions, modeled BC:Al reaches the chemical threshold at two and three sites within 15 and 30 years, respectively. Under conditions of double S deposition, seven sites are simulated to reach the threshold within 30 years. Nonetheless, the chemical thresholds are stringent relative to critical chemical criteria used elsewhere and the impacts of acidic deposition in the region are anticipated to be limited.Environmental Science and Technology 08/2009; 43(15):5844-50. · 5.48 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Sixteen boreal lakes in northern Alberta were sampled for a suite of water chemistry parameters, including dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2), using a headspace gas analysis technique. The lakes encompassed a wide range of pH and alkalinity but had very high dissolved organic carbon (DOC) levels (11–36 mg L−1) and were supersaturated in CO2 with respect to the atmosphere. While the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) is regularly estimated from pH and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), pH was related to pCO2 at only 13 of 16 lakes and overall pH in combination with DIC was a poor predictor of pCO2. Similarly, despite very high DOC levels, pCO2 was unrelated to the DOC concentration of the lakes. Stepwise multiple linear regressions improved the prediction capability for the entire data set, when compared to simple regressions. Both physicochemical (alkalinity, temperature) and landscape descriptors (lake area, peatland relative area) were important predictors of pCO2. The best regression model included lake area, peatland relative area, and water temperature, and was better able to predict pCO2 than relationships based on DOC, and pH and alkalinity, but lakes with high pCO2 (> 1000 µatm) remain under-predicted and are likely subject to additional factors controlling pCO2 that were not considered in this analysis.Canadian Water Resources Journal 01/2009; 34(4):415-426. · 1.22 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In contrast to other lakes studied in Cape Breton Highlands National Park (Nova Scotia, Canada), our paleolimnological results indicated that Glasgow Lake has been impacted by acidic deposition starting in the early 1900s. Based on analysis of diatom assemblages, the lake experienced a decrease in diatom-inferred lakewater pH from a pre-industrial pH of ~5.8 to a current pH of 5.3 (2000–2002 measured mean pH=5.0) as well as a decrease in diatom-inferred Gran-alkalinity. In this study, diatom-based paleolimnological techniques were used in conjunction with a dynamic biogeochemical model (MAGIC) to assess both the timing and extent of the acidification trend, as well as determine a probable explanation as to why this lake, and none of the other 15 Cape Breton Highlands lakes studied for paleolimnology thus far, acidified under a peak non-marine sulphate deposition load of 43.6 mmolc m−2 year−1 in the mid-1970s. Steady-state models estimate that Glasgow Lake had the lowest buffering capacity of six study lakes and estimated critical sulphate loading of <1 mmolc m−2 year−1. MAGIC also estimated a loss of charge balance alkalinity from a pre-1850 value of 38 μmolc l−1 to a low of 12 μmolc l−1. While no evidence of biological recovery has been recorded, MAGIC estimates an increase in charge balance alkalinity to 27 μmolc l−1 in 2002 in response to decreased SO2 emissions. Of the five other lakes that were modelled, all showed trends towards more acidic states and subsequent increases in charge balance alkalinity; however, the empirical paleo-diatom approach applied to these lakes showed no evidence of acidification. Thus, Glasgow Lake has the lowest buffering capacity among the Cape Breton Highland study lakes and serves as a sentinel of potential acidification trends and recovery in this region.Hydrobiologia 11/2008; 614(1):299-307. · 2.21 Impact Factor -
Article: Modelling acidification, recovery and target loads for headwater catchments in Nova Scotia, Canada
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The response of twenty acid-sensitive headwater catchments in Nova Scotia to acidic deposition was investigated for the period 1850?2100 using a dynamic hydrochemical model (MAGIC: Model of Acidification of Groundwater in Catchments). To ensure robust model simulation, MAGIC was calibrated to the long-term chemical trend in annual lake observations (13?20 years). Model simulations indicated that the surface waters of all twenty catchments acidified to the 1970s but showed subsequent recovery (increases in acid neutralising capacity (ANC) and pH) as sulphate deposition decreased. However, under proposed future emissions reductions (approximately 50% of current deposition) simulated ANC and pH will not return to estimated pre-industrial levels by 2100. An ANC of 20 ?molc L?1 and pH of 5.4 were defined as acceptable chemical thresholds (or critical chemical limits) for aquatic organisms in the current study. Under the proposed emissions reductions only one catchment is predicted to remain below the critical limit for ANC by 2100; three additional catchments are predicted to remain below the critical limit for pH. Dynamic models may be used to estimate target loads, i.e., the required deposition reductions to achieve recovery within a given time. Setting target loads at approximately 30% of current depositions would allow three of the four lakes to reach the chemical criteria by 2030. In contrast to the generally good prognosis for surface waters, soils lost an average of 32% of estimated initial base saturation and recovery is estimated to be very slow, averaging 23% lower than pre-acidification levels in 2100.Hydrology and Earth System Sciences 01/2007; · 3.64 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Critical loads are strongly dependent on the rate of release of base cations from the soil matrix. This study compares five commonly used methods for estimating weathering rates at five acid-sensitive catchments across Nova Scotia, Canada. Three of the methods (Zr Depletion, Clay Content, and the PROFILE model) are based on soil profiles and consider only the rooting zone, whereas the two remaining methods (the soil acidification model MAGIC and catchment Mass Balance Deficit) are catchment-based, and account for contributions from all soils within a catchment. Each weathering estimate method resulted in similar values among the five catchments, indicating similar sensitivity to acidic deposition among the study areas. Base cation weathering estimates were very low using the three soil profile-based methods, with rates varying from 3 to 13 mmolc m− 2 a− 1. In contrast, catchment-based methods predicted base cation weathering rates an order of magnitude higher (60 to 155 mmolc m− 2 a− 1), possibly due to spatial heterogeneity of the soil deposits, and contributions from deeper soil (till). Critical load (sulphur and nitrogen) estimates using the profile-based weathering rates indicate that critical loads for forest soils are currently exceeded at all catchments by 23 to 61 mmolc m− 2 a− 1. Predicted future reductions in acidic deposition should reduce the magnitude of critical load exceedance, but will not result in the catchments reaching a non-exceeded state.Geoderma 12/2006; · 2.51 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The chemical response of 20 headwater lakes in Nova Scotia to reduced acid deposition was investigated using trend analysis, and the need for further reductions was assessed using two steady-state, critical load models. Significant decreases were observed in the concentration of nonmarine sulphate (SO42–) and hydrogen (H+) at four wet deposition monitoring stations across Atlantic Canada since 1984. Dominant trends in surface water were decreasing SO42– concentrations, with little improvement in alkalinity and H+. Based on the Steady State Water Chemistry (SSWC) and First-order Acidity Balance (FAB) models, and using a critical chemical limit for acid-neutralizing capacity of 20 µmolc·L–1, critical load is exceeded at 9 and 13 of the 20 study lakes, respectively. Application of the SSWC model suggests that sulphur (S) deposition must be reduced by 37.3 mmolc·m–2·year–1 from 1997 levels to prevent critical load exceedance at 95% of the study lakes. Using the FAB model, the minimum reductions in nitrogen and S deposition necessary to protect 95% of the study lakes are 32.7 and 42.1 mmolc·m–2·year–1, respectively. Additional reductions beyond those proposed for 2030 are required to minimize critical load exceedance and promote recovery in alkalinity and pH of surface waters at the study catchments.Nous étudions la réaction chimique de 20 lacs de sommet de bassin versant en Nouvelle-Écosse à une diminution des précipitations acides à l'aide d'analyses des tendances; nous évaluons aussi la nécessité de réductions additionnelles à l'aide de deux modèles de charge critique à l'état d'équilibre. On observe depuis 1984 des réductions significatives des concentrations de sulfates (SO42–) d'origine non marine et d'hydrogène (H+) à quatre stations de surveillance des précipitations humides réparties dans le Canada atlantique. Les tendances dominantes dans les eaux de surface montrent une diminution des concentrations de SO42– avec peu d'amélioration de l'alcalinité ou de l'H+. D'après les modèles SSWC (chimie des eaux à l'état d'équilibre) et FAB (bilan d'acidité du premier ordre) et avec une limite chimique critique de capacité à neutraliser les acides de 20 µmolc·L–1, la charge critique est dépassée respectivement à 9 et 13 des 20 lacs étudiés. L'application du modèle SSWC indique que les précipitations de soufre (S) doivent être réduites de 37,3 mmolc·m–2·an–1 à partir des niveaux de 1997 afin d'empêcher le dépassement des charges critiques dans 95 % des lacs étudiés. Selon le modèle FAB, les réductions minimales de précipitations d'azote et de S nécessaires pour protéger 95 % des lacs étudiés sont respectivement de 32,7 mmolc·m–2·an–1 et de 42,1 mmolc·m–2·an–1. Des réductions plus importantes que celles proposées pour 2030 sont donc nécessaires afin de minimiser les dépassements de charge critique et de favoriser la récupération de l'alcalinité et du pH des eaux de surface dans les bassins versants étudiés.[Traduit par la Rédaction]Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 07/2006; 63(7):1504-1514. · 2.28 Impact Factor

Syd now has a second OS. I'm not sure if that means she has a split personality or just a new set of skills. *Imagines Neo looking mildly awed and saying "I know kung fu"* I had about a week after most of my exams before my last one, and this morning I finally sat down and made this happen. Honestly, setting up the folder with a build (Froyo), up-to-date kernel, rootfs and RIL only took a few minutes (see Introduction to Android - SD Card - xda-developers for easy setup instructions). I couldn't make rel_path work, but it boots fine with the build in the root directory so I gave up. But otherwise the first boot took longer than the actual work I put into setup. XDAndroid still is not fully functional. There are bluetooth issues, 3.5mm jack issues (for the CDMA Rhodium users), speakerphone issues, wifi issues (it works, you just can't shut it off from within xdandroid to save power -- turning off just makes it so you can't use it, it still sucks power), you have to use an alternate driver for usb host mode, and some sleep issues I don't fully understand, including GPS preventing it from entering deep sleep, and as a result, the LED is tasked for informing you of what sleep level it is in, not for notifications. But they've made a ton of progress since I first swore I would test it out. I dropped a donation in the xdandroid tin with a note that there's more coming if 3.5mm gets added on. For whatever that's worth. I'm looking forward to playing with Froyo all the same and seeing what the android marketplace has to offer and where Google Voice integration is at. There are Gingerbread builds, but Froyo is the most stable, so that's what I used. Because this runs off the SD card, there is no need to do a hard spl unlock or make any modification to the phone. xdandroid is working on a version that can initialize hardware without WinMo's help, but frankly, for as long as quirks remain, I prefer this method. For all the caveats, it doesn't feel like a hack once it boots up. I quickly and smoothly (more smoothly than in winmo ) got in, set up wifi, signed in to the market, downloaded 3g watchdog (thanks hook ) with apndroid, kindle, aldiko, an Amazon bar code scanner, looked at mobilenoter played a little angry birds rio (which did crash, maybe just because my hardware is ancient), set up weather info and looked at other stuff I've been drooling over and was on my way. It all felt fairly smooth. I'll play with it some today, but I may not get much more time with it until the weekend after this one. I have family coming into town this weekend and one more exam, but if you have any "must trys", do tell. For now, this is like having a whole new phone. EDIT: Made an install guide that is more streamlined than the one I linked to above for mobileread, thought I'd post it here as well for any googlers. Steps to install XDAndroid on a Touch Pro2: FRX07 arrived on 7/15/11. No updating steps necessary. Download here, follow the 5 easy steps and enjoy.
I became hooked on dual-booting between WinMo and Android on my Tilt2. Now I love it even more on my HD2 running a Cyanogen derived Gingerbread ROM. You'll love being able to play with Android, but still have the stability of WinMo when there's work to be done. Enjoy!!
Interesting concept; but it sounds like a huge number of compromises are required. If there are BT issues, audio jack issues, WiFi issues, etc.; doesn't it defeat the purpose?
Depends on what the purpose is, I suppose. It's not ready to be my main OS yet, but I'm thrilled I installed it to play with <-- my purpose. The winmo application library gets a little more stale every day. Now, thanks to xdandroid, I have a device that can read checked out overdrive titles, has an xkcd browser, kindle, a more stable general epub reader, a better Bible reader, something that can tell you what song you're listening to, full onenote access etc, and I haven't even scratched the surface yet. On top of that, I get to try android before I buy, not in some store with annoyed personnel glaring at me, but at my own pace. Also I don't use bluetooth at all, the wifi issues are only issues if you want to turn the radio off to save power (which would be more of an issue if I were going to run Android all the time, but isn't much of one when I'm just booting in to play around), and I don't use the 3.5mm jack all the time. If they do get the last of the kinks worked out, I could see this extending Syd's lifespan considerably. And thanks Radon, I most definitely will.
Syd is still proud of her old skill set, so I try to be diplomatic. Edit: A few wrinkles so far. Typically launching the android browser causes a crash. Don't plan to pursue it, will probably just download opera or skyfire or something like that. I also can't get through the Google Voice setup. It tells me it is unable to get through the voicemail setup, no matter how often I retry, and if I try to skip the step, the application locks down -- can't go forward or back. I think I'll uninstall Voice and then get it again from the market, see if that helps. I was looking forward to seeing what it can do. Edit 2: Got GV working by installing fresh from the market. Opera Mini seems nice. Typed up this edit the first time from Sydroid, and liked it all the way until I hit save and my edits failed to make it through. But it seems to detect where I'm pressing much better than my winmo opera does, less zooming necessary, it's just quicker and easier. Might try reading tonight, but Aldiko doesn't want to turn pages with my arrow keys, which is kinda my way. Might try FBreader or something like it.
Messing around with android ports on these older phones definitely falls in the the "Why? Because I can" category. On the TP2's; android is definitely not yet a daily use OS, but just as Mi An is doing its a no-cost method of getting to experience and play with an alternate OS.
Mi An, try Dolphin Browser. It's a lot of browser, but it's excellent and more powerful than the standard android one.
Dolphin is on my todo list. I was try to think of the names of some of the browsers I read about, and that one slipped my mind. Thanks QF I didn't read in Sydroid last night. I tried FBreader and Aldiko, and neither would let me turn pages with the arrow keys. On the up side, both are more stable than my current winmo reader (opening books cause freda to crash), faster and more fully featured (the dev has moved on to WP7 development). I think both readers allow you to turn pages with the volume buttons. I'm not opposed to tinkering, if I could find a aebuttons plus sort of analog for android that would allow context-sensitive button remapping, maybe that would do the trick for me.
Does Kindle work with the arrow keys? I am 90% sure that the D-Pad on my Droid flips pages in Kindle...
Just to be clear, I admire the effort and it's interesting to read about; but there seem to be serious gaps, not just an issue of it not being and 'everyday' OS. As for BT and jack, that means no headphones at all. Plus, if it is that hobbled, it's hard to have a fair opinion as to what Android is like; but there is value in making the effort. It's especially cool that it runs off a memory card. That seemingly increasingly common option is great.
@QF, Haven't tried it. My 100% purchased library of books may or may not be in its original format. Not super comfortable giving Amazon a peek at what I may or may not have done there. @Varjak: For me, yes it means no headset at all. However, most TP2 users don't have a 3.5mm jack (GSM versions are the majority, none of them have one), and all of us could use a headset that plugs into the usb port instead (which I don't have and won't buy). I imagine that is part of the reason the devs haven't gotten around to that yet, because there is one option for headphones and most users already have it. Edit: got my library card up to date today, and am checking out my first overdrive book. Pain to set up everything initially, but my first overdrive book is in: The Highly Selective Thesaurus for the Extraordinarily Literate (If I were extraordinarily literate, would I really need a highly selective thesaurus? Seems like this is for the not so extraordinarily literate.). I actually just discovered the overdrive console does have a WinMo version though, so not as big a deal as I thought. The console also won't let me have the keyboard out while the screen is in portrait mode -- my preferred reading orientation. But it will let me turn pages with the arrow keys. I look forward to kindle lending if kindle will let me read that way.
Kindle will turn pages with the arrow keys, but I couldn't see an option to put the screen in portrait with the keyboard open. Went to the market to find something to rotate the screen, but all I could find were apps that toggled auto-rotate, which doesn't stop the screen from going to landscape when the keyboard opens. I couldn't find much in the way of button remapping either. I'll try and dig around xda later and see if there are solutions outside the market. So some readers (aldiko and fbreader both IIRC) will give me the right screen orientation for my preferred book-form reading layout, but won't let me turn with the arrow keys, and the others (kindle, overdrive) will let me turn with the arrow keys but won't let me lock in portrait mode. I'm contacting Aldiko to see if it is a feature they'd be willing to add.
You can lock the Kindle orientation, but it might only lock based on the accelerometer and not the keyboard. But if you didn't already try it, open the Kindle app, and flip the whole phone horizontal then vertical. A little lock should appear, click it, and that should lock you into vertical orientation. (I'm doing this from memory so that's why I'm a bit fuzzy). I don't know if this would override the keyboard slideout, but it's worth a shot! (and let me know if it works!)
Yay, it worked. Mine actually didn't respond to flipping, but when I opened the keyboard and then closed it, the little lock icon was there. I just hadn't noticed it before, and it does prevent all orientation changes. Thanks. This doesn't solve all my reading issues, but at least I have one fully functional reader.
Glad it worked! I know it appears based on signals from the OS, just glad it popped up for you. Agreed that the Kindle app isn't a 100% full featured heavy lifting app, but it's stable, has a very good library, is quick, and doesn't take up a billion mb on your memory. For pure "I want this to be unique to just how I read" style ebook reading, Aldiko can't be beat, but it does have some funkiness w.r.t. arrow keys/d-pads. I think you can remap volume keys but those might be on the wrong side for you to comfortably use instead. Isn't Android fun though!
I'm using Moon+ reader from the market now. Screen lock and arrow key page-turning are both go and ready for launch. I'm still working on getting the backlight to turn off on the keyboard. Couldn't do that in winmo6.1, and I refused to upgrade to a flawed vzw 6.5 rom just for that registry entry. It can be done in android, it's just hard to tell if it's doable at this stage of the xdandroid build. Market app backlight off won't do it. I found this, I do have that file at that location, but it's already set to '0', so I'm not sure what to do next. But if I do figure it out, that'll be a cool bonus.
Ok Mi An... which ver of XDA are you running? I'm back on my Tilt2 for a while since HD2 decided to jump into Batlimore Harbor this morning.

A generous outdoor patio is the choice seating on warm days; broad umbrellas shade diners from the sun. The restaurant offers monthly menus devoted to regional Italian food---Sicilian one month, the Amalfi coast the next---but there are good options on the standard menu as well, including chicken cooked over a wood-burning rotisserie.

Latest Virunga Mountains Stories
By Daniel Trotta NEW YORK (Reuters) - The upcoming movie remake of "King Kong" might outrage some serious scientists, but one expert in gorilla conservation sees the fictional ape as an inspiration.
Rwanda's president joined villagers and conservation workers on the edges this national park Saturday to name 30 rare mountain gorilla babies, in what the country hopes will be an annual ceremony for one of its biggest tourist attractions.
A two-year joint ESA and UNESCO project to chart the habitats of endangered mountain gorillas with satellites came to a fruitful finish in Paris, with end-users receiving final maps and geographical data products for use in the field. Less than 700 mountain gorillas remain alive today.
Satellites provide a bird's eye view of planet Earth, and the space-based vantage can be extremely useful to people interested in viewing out-of-the-way places. Conservationists, for example, must monitor far-flung areas in need of protection. It's a race against time for the mountain gorillas.

Ancient Greece : a Political, Social, and Cultural History (99 - Old Edition)by Burstein Donlan Pomeroy
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments. Publisher Comments:Written by four leading authorities on the classical world, Ancient Greece: A Political, Social, and Cultural History introduces students to the history and civilization of ancient Greece in all its complexity and variety. The most comprehensive and balanced history of ancient Greece that covers the entire period from the Bronze Age through the Hellenistic Era, it integrates the most recent research in archaeology, comparative anthropology, and social history with a traditional yet lively narrative of political, military, and diplomatic history. The authors show how the early Greeks borrowed from their neighbors but eventually developed a distinctive culture all their own, one that was marked by astonishing creativity, versatility, and resilience. The book goes on to trace the complex and surprising evolution of Greek civilization to its eventual dissolution as it merged with a variety of other cultures. Using physical evidence from archaeology, the written testimony of literary texts and inscriptions, and anthropological models based on comparative studies, the authors provide an account of the Greek world that is thoughtful and sophisticated yet accessible to students and general readers with little or no knowledge of Greece.
Featuring 19 maps, more than 80 photographs, and numerous selections that highlight a variety of primary source material, Ancient Greece is an indispensable text for courses in ancient Greek history. Table of ContentsList of Maps

Colourless, crystalline, toxic carboxylic acid found in many plants, especially rhubarb, wood sorrel, and spinach. Because it forms soluble chelates with iron, some of the iron in these plants is not available nutritionally. However, this property makes it useful for removing blood and rust stains, cleaning metals other than iron, and flushing car radiators. Oxalic acid and its salts (oxalates) are used in many chemical processes.

In general, dicarboxylic acids show the same chemical behaviour and reactivity as monocarboxylic acids. The ionization of the second carboxyl group occurs less readily than the first one. This is because more energy is required to separate a positive hydrogen ion from the doubly charged anion than from the single charged anion.
A mnemonic to aid in remembering the order of the common nomenclature for the first six dicarboxylic acids is "Oh my, such great apple pie!" (oxalic, malonic, succinic, glutaric, adipic, pimelic).
When one of the carboxy groups is replaced with an aldehyde group, the resulting structure is called a "aldehydic acid".
Common name | IUPAC name | Chemical formula | Structural formula |
Oxalic acid | ethanedioic acid | HOOC-COOH | |
Malonic acid | propanedioic acid | HOOC-(CH2)-COOH | |
Succinic acid | butanedioic acid | HOOC-(CH2)2-COOH | |
Glutaric acid | pentanedioic acid | HOOC-(CH2)3-COOH | |
Adipic acid | hexanedioic acid | HOOC-(CH2)4-COOH | |
Pimelic acid | heptanedioic acid | HOOC-(CH2)5-COOH | |
Suberic acid | octanedioic acid | HOOC-(CH2)6-COOH | |
Azelaic acid | nonanedioic acid | HOOC-(CH2)7-COOH | |
Sebacic acid | decanedioic acid | HOOC-(CH2)8-COOH | |
Phthalic acid | benzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid o-phthalic acid | C6H4(COOH)2 | |

The review period is coming and i decided to write an entry to inform about the Webviz project. Till now the first output of the project is a proof of concept work[1] (requires WebGL supported browser, tested on Firefox 5 and Firefox 4, on other browsers i don't guarantee it works fine).
The figure displays the visualized data. The elevations corresponds to the geograpical malware numbers. The more malware detected the higher peeks are represented with changing color.
We are realizing that the Forensic Challenge 8 - "Malware Reverse Engineering" - is really difficult to solve because right now we received just 5 submissions. For this reason we decided to extend the submission deadline again to July 31th.
Those who already submitted a solution before June 30th are granted the possibility to submit again thus taking advantage of this one-month extra time. Moreover a few extra bonus points will be assigned to them.
Have fun!

Forensic Challenge 8 "Malware Reverse Engineering" put up by Guido Landi and Angelo Dell'Aera from the Sysenter Chapter is in full swing. Submissions are due by June 30th, so if you want to participate, you have 4 days left. We award little prizes for the top three submissions! Hope to see your submission.

The Honeynet Project
One of the very first Android malwares, Geinimi has been analyzed in the application sandbox DroidBox that is currently being developed. The project is part of GSoC 2011 in collaboration with Honeynet and as a master thesis. The Geinimi application uses DES encryption, and it's possible to uncrypt statically the content, see picture below.
Taking a look at the first submissions it seems like the Forensic Challenge 8 - "Malware Reverse Engineering" - is quite difficult to solve. For this reason we decided to extend the submission deadline to June 30th.
Have fun!

The Honeynet Project
Today Apple unveiled the next generation of OS X, Lion and new iOS 5. Among the features, I'm concerned about two features: AriDrop and iCloud.
Visualization is a niche area especially at the security analysis. As mentioned in a well-known sentence; "A picture is worth a thousand words". The importance and the power of the visualization in the security area stands out with the ability to define multi-dimensional data with a single shape. When addressing the creating a mesh tiled 3D view on an Earth map, i was reading about the geoweb application development. A geoweb application consists of some components.
This summer, I will be dealing with the malware analysis distribution from a visualization perspective at a timeline and geographic basis. To collect data related with malwares, I installed the Dionaea, which is a successor of Nepenthes. The documentation of the Dionaea is plain and easy to follow. I chosed Debian Squeeze to install the honeypot on it. Installing the base system from netinstall CD and following the documentation was enough till i got an error message during the compiling process of Dionaea.
I am pleased to announce the next forensic challenge: Forensic Challenge 8 - "Malware Reverse Engineering".
The challenge has been created by Angelo Dell'Aera and Guido Landi from the Sysenter Honeynet Project Chapter.
Submission deadline is June 15th and we will be announcing winners around the third week of July. We have a few small prizes for the top three submissions.
Have fun!

Folks, Guillame and Hugo have judged all submissions and results have been posted on the challenge web site. The winners are:

2. Fernando Quintero & Camilo Zapata
3. (3 submissions) Matt Erasmus, Joseph Kahlich and Kevin Mau
Congratulations to the winners!
With challenge 7 completed, we are getting ready to launch challenge 8 on May 9th. This challenge has been prepared by Guido Landi and Angelo Dell'Aera from the Sysenter Chapter and it deals with

Very good
- nice & clean room - breakfast - location is very strategic, near to shops and beaches - swimming pool. kids enjoyed it!
- none. very minor
Pool, rooms all lovely - would recommend to anyone.
The bathrooms look amazing but are just too hot and muggy. Can't cool down properly after a big day. Even a fan in there would be better than nothing.
The property is spacious, well layed out, with a wonderful garden and a fantastic chill area in the back around the "hidden pool". You are in for a treat if you book the private pool villa. Service was outstanding with Adam (front office manager) helping us out in a very difficult situation. Thanks again Adam!
The front pool area needs a touch up. Some of the villa facades need fresh paint.
Australian Group of friends travelling together, great location and amazing rooms, staff are very friendly and welcoming and have great facilities and beautiful buffet breakfast. We all really recommend this this place and will be revisiting again!
Ease of access to all Islands offerings Friendly staff Huge bathroom
Could hear all of upstairs movements
The service off the staff is great + the fact yoy van relax and get away from the main street if you want to. The facilities this resort has, are one of the best on Gili T.
the staff are very friendly, the facilities are complete, the breakfast buffet had a great selection of food, the location is perfect, right in between the surf/sunset spots and main beach for swimming; I also really like the concept of conserving fresh water by limiting the use with a faucet and ladle.
there was no hot water. Internet is very slow and sometimes not working at all. a lot of mosquitoes in the room.
The little villa was so trasinational but so familiar, and The swimminpool was so comfortable!!!
The swimming pool and jacuzzi, the nice cafes and lot of attractions around the hotels, helpful staff, nice staff and guests
we got room far from the hotel entrance
Pool facilities, buffet breakfast was great, outdoor shower area and close to everything
Wifi often cut out but very minor issue otherwise loved everything
The pools, and close to restaurants, bike rent
Staff wernt to helpful, the floors of the rooms were always dirty. The aircon wasn't cold enough, kept having bugs in the room. The bathroom is humid.
The Position is perfect, the food very nice, environment amazing!
Actually nothing in particular. ....
The location (1 min from center and best bars and restaurants in town), the beach, the pools and the diving club!
The cleaning room service took a very long time to do our room (more than half a day and we had to call the reception to request it!)
We liked the room with the big bathroom and shower, the pool and beach were very close, the food & hospatility were great.
Nothing bad to say, we loved the place.
- staff - location - breakfast choices - size of resort
We had pre-quested a room at the ground floor with shadowed terrasse in front plus a baby bed and had it approved. When we arrived we got top floor and no baby bed. The manager apologized and upgraded us for free to a private villa with pool.
The minibar was empty the whole holiday. It was 40 degrees in the breakfast room and area.
The positioning of the ladder to get from the bathroom area was a bit awkward and uncomfortable to go up/down.
Door to outside bathroom, small and had big gaps for mosquitoes to get in the room. Otherwise all good.
My partner and I stayed here recently and absolutely loved it! The location was great - it was so close to Seminyak square and all the main Seminyak attractions, but was located off the road so it was quiet at all hours of the day. We really enjoyed the private pool, kitchen facilities, and the fact that there were two rooms with a bathroom in each - if only we were travelling with another couple to utilise the other room! Furthermore, Melanie was an absolute gem! She made our stay more than comfortable from our first meeting to the moment we left. She was never without her warm smile, and she accommodated for all of our needs, including holding our bags until 7pm as we had a late flight out of Bali, at no extra cost. She organised a scooter for us at a great price and had it ready at the door for us. I would definitely recommend staying here for the location, facilities, cleanliness, and Melanie!
Perfect location to main street, restaurants, bars and beaches while still fairly quiet. Friendly and helpful staff with a yummy hotel restaurant, great pool and pool bar!
Wide gaps in bedroom doors let in mice and bugs, dirty and stained day bed, mould and cracks in bathroom.
Very disappointed , and although I go to gilli t a lot , we won't ever stay here again .
We booked our stay a long time ago , and was a nine day stay and the rate we paid seemed like a huge amount more than what was advertised on the booking website on the day we checked in and they said there was nothing they could do about it .
location, central, everything on walking distance quiet luxury room
friendly staff (we believe we made some life long friends with staff at Vila Ombak, we hope to see them again very soon) -swim up bar and the pool -we loved our number 2001 lumbung it felt like home to us - very quick room service - how clean the room was
- friendliness of staff - size of rooms/ huts - breakfast choices - location - cost

Polar Cub asks, "Mama, why?"
A polar bear cub asks his mother a multitude of "why" questions before he goes to sleep: Why is there a moon up in the sky? Why do we dream? Why are there stars in the sky? And why can't we see the stars during the day? Finally, once his Mama has explained everything to him, Mama ushers her little one off to sleep, explaining that she will sleep too, so she can dream about her dearest cub.
