Algorithms that use remotely-sensed vegetation indices to estimate gross primary production (GPP), a key component of the global carbon cycle, have gained a lot of popularity in the past decade. Yet despite the amount of research on the topic, the most appropriate approach is still under debate. As an attempt to address this question, we compared the performance of different vegetation indices from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) in capturing the seasonal and the annual variability of GPP estimates from an optimal network of 21 FLUXNET forest towers sites. The tested indices include the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), Leaf Area Index (LAI), and Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation absorbed by plant canopies (FPAR). Our results indicated that single vegetation indices captured 50–80% of the variability of tower-estimated GPP, but no one index performed universally well in all situations. In particular, EVI outperformed the other MODIS products in tracking seasonal variations in tower-estimated GPP, but annual mean MODIS LAI was the best estimator of the spatial distribution of annual flux-tower GPP (GPP = 615 × LAI − 376, where GPP is in g C/m2/year). This simple algorithm rehabilitated earlier approaches linking ground measurements of LAI to flux-tower estimates of GPP and produced annual GPP estimates comparable to the MODIS 17 GPP product. As such, remote sensing-based estimates of GPP continue to offer a useful alternative to estimates from biophysical models, and the choice of the most appropriate approach depends on whether the estimates are required at annual or sub-annual temporal resolution.
Understanding the mechanisms of global climate change and improving our predictions of possible future climates requires accurate quantifications of carbon uptake by terrestrial vegetation. Gross Primary Production (GPP), the amount of carbon assimilated by vegetation through photosynthesis over time, fundamentally influences the carbon cycle and human habitability of our planet [
Historically, scientists have tried to explain the spatial and temporal patterns of GPP by exploiting its relation with vegetation biophysical metrics such as Leaf Area Index (LAI) [
For global-scale studies of GPP, satellite data have the advantage of providing continuous, repetitive, and consistent observations of vegetation dynamics. The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR, available since 1981 and originally designed for weather monitoring) has been widely used for long-term analysis of global vegetation dynamics [
Concurrent with MODIS, participants in the global FLUXNET network of micrometeorological towers with eddy covariance instrumentation have recorded land-atmosphere exchanges of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy at hundreds of diverse sites [
The development of these two data streams—MODIS and FLUXNET—has led to extensive tests of the ability of remote sensing to approximate GPP, especially at local scales. Among the MODIS products, the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI)—an optimized vegetation index developed from NDVI [
Although past research seems to have established the seasonal correlation of GPP with EVI at individual flux tower sites, questions still remain whether or not the relationship is consistent across sites, whether it is superior to the other existing satellite metrics of vegetation abundance and structure (NDVI, LAI, and FPAR), and whether it lends itself to estimating annual GPP. Although there are now a number of process-based models for GPP estimation, the use of a single satellite-derived metric still has great appeal for ease of application, assessing the effects of uncertainties caused by poor quality input data, and simplifying the exploration of the underlying mechanisms of vegetation responses to climate change and variability. In this study we analyzed and compared how well four MODIS vegetation products relate to short-term and annual GPP estimated at a network of ideal-quality FLUXNET sites.
Our overall approach was to compare a suite of remotely-sensed vegetation metrics to GPP estimated at a quality-screened subset of the FLUXNET sites. In the following sections, we describe: (1) the selection and processing of MODIS data stored as subsets for the FLUXNET sites, (2) the conceptual basis of the MODIS products, (3) the processing and selection of FLUXNET data, and (4) our analytical approach.
Collection 5 MODIS Land Products Subsets for FLUXNET sites are readily available from the Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory [
We retrieved Collection 5 MOD13Q1 (NDVI and EVI) and MOD15A2 (LAI and FPAR), and Collection 5.1 MOD17A2 (GPP) (hereafter referred to as MOD13, MOD15, and MOD17, respectively) for the period 2001 to 2008 (
We only used data from years in which MODIS data were at least 80% complete (
MOD13 is the 250 m, 16-day composite NDVI and EVI product, derived from MOD09 reflectances. Even though vegetation indices are a unitless metric of vegetation greenness, they are widely used as monitoring tools because of the simplicity of their formulas. NDVI is defined as:
Among all vegetation indices, NDVI is the most widely used for monitoring and modeling vegetation dynamics [
EVI empirically corrects for aerosols with the reflectance in the blue band (ρblue, 459 to 479 nm) and adds L (1) as a background brightness correction factor. G (2.5) is the gain factor and C1 (6) and C2 (7.5) are band-specific atmospheric resistance correction coefficients.
We used the MOD13 quality assurance fields to identify the presence of snow, in which case we set the values of both NDVI and EVI to zero.
MOD15 is the 1 km, 8-day composite LAI and FPAR product [
MOD17 is the 1 km 8-day average GPP and is based on a light use efficiency (LUE) model [
We used standardized Level 4 FLUXNET data provided by AmeriFlux and CarboEurope networks. The Level 4 FLUXNET data include meteorological and eddy covariance flux data and estimated GPP (note that we use "GPP" interchangeably with "Gross Ecosystem Production", though a small difference in photorespiration exists between the two). Level 4 data contain GPP derived from estimated Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) by different methods (two different storage term calculations and two different gap-filling methods). The storage term required for the estimation of NEE was either provided by each tower principal investigator (original) or estimated by a standard method assuming that CO2 concentration measured at eddy flux measurement height is constant within the canopy (standard). The gaps were filled either by the Marginal Distribution Sampling method [
The partitioning of the measured NEE fluxes into GPP and Total Ecosystem Respiration (TER) was based on a temperature-dependent exponential model of TER estimated based on nighttime NEE data. GPP was finally obtained as the sum of NEE and TER according to Reichstein
Scaling from point measurements at the flux tower to the 1 km MODIS resolution is not trivial because the heterogeneity of the flux tower footprint can lead to a time-variant measurement bias. Ideally, we should use flux towers whose eddy covariance footprints are homogeneous over the MODIS pixel, but this condition is not often met. In some studies (e.g., Turner The tower was surrounded by homogeneous land cover for a radius of at least 500 m; Temporally overlapping coverage with the MODIS subset data existed; The gap-filled ratio was less than 20% for all 12 months in a year.
The only tropical forest AmeriFlux tower meeting the above requirements was in Tapajos, Brazil. To increase the sample size for tropical forests and improve the robustness of our analysis, we added four AsiaFlux tropical sites from Southeast Asia: Bukit Soehart, Palangkaraya, Mae Klong, and Sakaerat. Only annual GPP data were published for these sites in Hirata
To assess the degree to which the selected FLUXNET sites were representative of the climatic range of the global forested regions, we first generated a 1982 to 2005 average global climatology of temperature and precipitation. We used the Climate Research Unit (CRU) TS3.1 dataset [
We examined the relationship between flux tower GPP and MODIS products with reduced major axis regression analysis, which minimizes the sum of the product of deviations from the model along both the
The first question we asked is which MODIS product(s) best explains the short-term (
The second question we asked is which MODIS product(s) best explains the annual variations in flux tower GPP. We calculated the annual mean of each MODIS product as the sum of the available values divided by the total number of available values. We then analyzed the regressions between flux tower annual total GPP and the annual mean of each MODIS product for the data organized into the following groups: all sites, non-tropical sites only, and tropical sites only. Similarly to the short-term analysis, we varied the composite period from 8, 16 to 32-days. We did not composite MOD17 because this would have caused to neglect its biophysically-induced reductions (e.g., reductions induced by drought periods rather than by cloud or aerosol contamination) and therefore lead to an overestimation of annual GPP.
Although annually integrated vegetation indices are sometimes used for this kind of analyses (e.g., Goward
Short-term GPP was more highly correlated with EVI than with NDVI, LAI, or FPAR (
For all analyzed sites, the reference data of MOD17 GPP was most highly correlated with short-term flux tower GPP, both for deciduous and evergreen forests (
We plotted 32-day composites of MODIS products against flux tower GPP estimates for all the sites (
When all sites were analyzed at a 32-day resolution, annual mean NDVI and EVI showed comparable correlations with annual GPP (
LAI had the highest correlation with annual GPP, regardless of the compositing period length (
While several metrics showed promise in estimating annual flux tower GPP, annual mean LAI derived from 32-day composites had the highest correlation, explaining 88% of measured variance. The simple model is:
As a broader evaluation of the use of a simple approach to estimate annual GPP, we then applied
Finally, to assess whether our LAI-based GPP estimates were consistent with expectations relatively to climate, we plotted global annual GPP against mean temperature, annual precipitation, and mean diurnal temperature range (DTR) derived from the CRU TS 3.1 datasets. Our results for global forested areas show that the LAI-based GPP behaves as expected, with the highest values found in conditions of high temperature and precipitation and moderate DTR, while the lowest values are found in cold and dry climates (
LAI showed the highest correlation with annual GPP among the satellite metrics presented in this study (
The high correlation across different forest types can be explained by the functional convergence hypothesis [
Vegetation indices plots (
Our results suggest that simple models are viable approaches for estimating GPP, but that fundamentally different approaches should be used depending on the spatio-temporal scale of the analysis. Among the four satellite-derived metrics, EVI showed the highest correlation with short-term GPP (
However, when assessed at the level of either non-tropical or tropical sites to annual mean GPP, EVI had almost no correlation with annual GPP, while NDVI had significant correlation (
To check if these results depended on the assumptions made for winter LAI in the presence of snow, and hence the calculation of the mean values, we set the value of the snow-covered pixels to the annual minimum rather than zero. While this increased the correlations of NDVI and EVI (
Our analysis shows that the simple model for estimating annual GPP from LAI has comparable accuracy—at global scales—to the MOD17 GPP product (
At finer temporal resolutions, or for interannual variability, important differences may exist between the LAI-based GPP and MOD17, and we do not argue the two approaches are necessarily interchangeable. Indeed, in spite of errors and/or biases in input meteorology, upstream MODIS products, and structural issues with the algorithm itself [
In Section 2 we discussed the uncertainty introduced in the MODIS products by possible cloud contamination of the pixels and how to minimize it by temporally compositing the datasets.
In the case of MOD15, the propagation of algorithm uncertainties presents additional issues in the estimation of GPP. As described in Section 2.1, the algorithm uncertainty of LAI and FPAR was estimated through ground validation studies. Here, we assess the influence of MOD15 uncertainty on the GPP estimate through comparison with CYCLOPES [
Another potential source of uncertainty could be caused by the spatial resolution of the datasets. We used 250 m resolution data of MOD13, 1 km resolution data of MOD15 and MOD17, and flux tower point GPP data. We avoided the uncertainty caused by within-pixel spatial heterogeneity by applying a strict selective process to use only data for towers located over homogenous land covers, as described in Section 2. Also, Sims
Unfortunately, the number of tropical forest flux sites was very small compared to boreal or temperate forest sites. In this study, we used 4 sites in South East Asia and 1 site in South America. More data for tropical forest are needed to improve the GPP estimation over these regions, likely altering the regression for the tropics.
We analyzed the correlation of MODIS NDVI, EVI, LAI and FPAR products with short-term and annual GPP measured at eddy covariance flux towers. Our results show that EVI is useful for the analysis of short-term variations in tower-estimated GPP (
There are several concerns related to the uncertainty of MODIS products. These analyses were based on MODIS products, and different satellite products may be not able to get such high correlation between annual mean LAI and annual GPP. For the uncertainty caused by different resolution analysis, we minimized the influence on GPP estimate by carefully choosing the dataset not to include contaminated or heterogeneous data.

RPI is at #22 - big, big match tomorrow at Hilton vs. #1 Texas. A victory would do wonders for both our ranking and RPI standing.
Tomorrow is going to take the best effort of the year, and it would really be a benefit for this team.
"Cómo te va", dijo el murguista a la muchacha. Que lo cortó con su mirada indiferente Le dijo "Bien" y lo dejó como si nada Nuevamente... La princesa... Se perdía entre la gente (Jaime Roos)
It would be a terrific win. But doubly hard with last year's win. Catch Texas sleeping a bit at the end of the season? Again? Maybe already thinking about turkey and pumpkin pie? It will be tough. Win or lose, how the team "plays" this match will be really important and really interesting. Can they compete? It will be over quickly, maybe in more ways than one, if they come to play and compete only at the level as the last couple matches. They really need to step it up. Go Cyclones!

Two months ago, 10-year-old Takuya's mother was tragically killed, leaving the boy, his baby brother Minoru, and his father behind. With his father working to support the family, raising Minoru becomes Takuya's responsibility, even though the boy is just a child himself. And with having to clean, do laundry, pick up Minoru from daycare and to try constantly to stop his sibling from crying, Takuya constantly changes between loving his relative and resenting him. Still, he'll try his best to be a caring big brother to Minoru, as his mother would have wanted it that way.

Howard Spence is a cowboy star, a screen legend that a movie can be built around. He plays a straight-shooting symbol of fortitude, the kind of man you'd want at your side when all hell breaks loose. In real life, however, Howard is a yellowbelly who flees adult responsibility like a prairie dog spooked by a rattlesnake, and a lout whose idea of recreation is a bottle of Jack and two teenage Jills.
The tension between the iconic lone ranger and the skittish recluse inside him is the mainspring that propels "Don't Come Knocking." A funny, melancholy hybrid of family drama, road picture and farce, it begins with Howard (Sam Shepard) riding his horse at a heroic gallop. He's actually running away from his latest film, unable to fake his way through another vacuous session of make-believe. But he's so noble-looking that he makes skedaddling appear valiant. We're alternately drawn to his broad-shouldered charisma and repulsed by his asinine behavior.
Howard hides out with his mother, bunking in a basement room decorated with his high school memorabilia. Things could hardly be more humiliating for a 60-year-old man, but they get worse when he finds Mom's memory book, a collection of scandal-sheet clippings about his trysts, drug busts and crackups. She also drops the bomb that Howard has a 20-year-old child from a long-forgotten fling in Montana.
While a private investigator seeks to shanghai Howard back to the set, the actor takes off through the dusty West in search of the offspring he never knew he had. Howard is embarking on his first real adventure, the kind that entails a furious purse-whipping from an old flame rather than a barroom brawl with breakaway chairs.
The trail leads to Butte, Mont., a tapped-out mining town that is, if not literally the middle of nowhere, probably less than an hour away. He reconnects with his ex-lover (Jessica Lange) and meets their headstrong son (Gabriel Mann). Compications multiply when a young woman claiming to be his daughter (the infallibly interesting Sarah Polley) joins his clan.
Howard half-realizes he must shed his fake persona and prove himself a competent family man, and he'd never get there without the spiritual guidance of the women in the story. But even as he stumbles and slips, he's taking the first clumsy steps in the right direction.
"Don't Come Knocking" is a 20-year reunion for Shepard and German director Wim Wenders, whose earlier collaboration on the similarly-themed "Paris, Texas" is one of the essential films of the 1980s. The new film is lighter, more hopeful and more visually arresting. (Franz Lustig's luminous cinematography deservedly took top prize at the European Film Awards.) It walks a fine line between sentimentality and satire, but rarely stumbles, thanks to a cast that is captivating to hear and watch.
Lange's trajectory from delight at once again seeing her long-lost lover to banshee fury at his emotional unavailability is wonderful to behold. Shepard, who usually plays archetypal heroes, has written himself a honey of a part that allows him to dump the gravitas and act like a lunkhead while retaining a core of sincerity.
The film ends on a charming grace note that leaves open the issue of whether Howard will ever get his act together. "Don't Come Knocking" is restrained -- and charitable -- enough to permit viewers to draw their own conclusions. If only all midlife crises were so upbeat and entertaining.
The setup: A cowboy movie hero (Sam Shepard) is dumbfounded to learn he has a 20-year-old son from a long-forgotten fling.
What works: The film's warmth, its bittersweet comic tone and affection for its flawed characters are touching but never sappy.
What doesn't: Tim Roth, playing a private investigator on Shepard's tail, is an interesting figure with too little screen time.
Rating: R for language and brief nudity.

Anoka-Hennepin schools hit with another bullying lawsuit | The Republic
15 Aug
ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Anoka-Hennepin School District is being sued again over the alleged bullying of a gay or lesbian student.
Minnesota Public Radio News reports (http://bit.ly/qN6kYj ) a new lawsuit filed by the National Center for Lesbian Rights says school officials failed to help a 15-year-old student at Jackson Middle School.
The lawsuit claims the teen was being harassed and physically assaulted by fellow students because of her sexual orientation and perceived gender nonconformity.
Executive director Kate Kendell says the center is also representing five other students in a similar lawsuit and will ask to have the two cases consolidated.
The lawsuit seeks punitive damages and asks that the district to change its policies to prevent harassment on the basis of sexual orientation or gender.
School officials have said the district's anti-bullying and anti-harassment policies cover sexual orientation.

Released: May 04th, 2007
Running Time: 80 Min.
Company: Back End Productions
DVD Extras: Still Gallery(ies)
Mary Carey, Mya Luanna, Satine Phoenix, Mike Horner, Vanessa Lane, Mindy Main, Lee Stone
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
What would have happened if Mary Carey had won her second campaign for governor — hilarious sexual hijinks, that's what.
Here's a campy "what if" movie that shows us how things would have been if Mary Carey had unseated Arnold Schwarzenegger with her second gubernatorial campaign in California. Quick summary: there would be a lot more sex in the Governor's mansion. The script is funny if dialogue heavy, but porn just isn't the venue for topical political satire.
Mary Carey, playing herself as Governor-elect, starts things off by introducing Nick Manning as her new Lieutenant Governor. She fucks Manning at the Governor's Mansion, then hooks up with Vanessa Lane for a sexy girl/girl that ends up being a photo-op for the press.
Lee Stone plays the "Governator," using a decent Austrian accent that he maintains even while banging Mindy Main.

OpenBSD General Other questions regarding OpenBSD which do not fit in any of the categories below. |
Thread Tools | Display Modes |
Playing DVDs
I gathered from OpenBSD Faq 13.9 (can't post link) that it's possible to play DVDs, with or without mounting them. When I do
$ xine /dev/cd0c Quote:
$ sudo chmod a+r /dev/cd0c Code:
$ sudo mount /dev/cd0c /mnt/dvd; $ xine /mnt/dvd Quote:
I have similar problems when trying to use dvdrip in that mounting works but reading directly from the DVD drive doesn't. Does anyone know of any resources to get 'raw' (i.e. no need to mount) DVD playback/ripping working? Thanks in advance for any help/tips/pointers |
I use mplayer for DVD playback, I believe it requires manually installing a few of the DVD libraries for navigation and content descrambling (..libdvdcss).
For accessing devices directly, you should always avoid the block devices, use /dev/rcd0c instead and set a cache value for your player.. most have it. There is typically no need to mount a DVD, generally the players and associated libraries work better accessing the drive themselves. For DVD ripping dvdbackup port seems to work well, and can be useful for confirming the proper libraries have been installed for accessing the drive. I do believe that read and write access is required for negotiating encryption with the drive, but, I haven't confirmed this. Good luck, |
I use "ogle". pkg_add -iv ogle. on the command line: sudo ogle. is all it takes to watch a dvd on my OpenBSD box -- version 4.7.
Ogle is indeed possibly the best DVD player around. MPlayers lacks the support for Chapters or at least it did in the past. That being said the thing that really enables you to watch DVDs is libdvd. Sometime if you try to watch the DVD from the different region code you might find useful to have around libdvdcss.
Thanks Oko, but I don't do much ripping.. the stuff I do backup I typically convert to XviD, usually television shows.
I notice an unusual step, DVD movies typically use MPEG2 already.. it makes little sense in your pseudo-script to encode it to MPEG4(..divx/xvid) and then back to MPEG2. Perhaps the might find some of the steps useful though, there are plenty of useful tutorials online for using mencoder/ffmpeg to do video converting. |

Your manager came through, and your eight-year-old workstation whose hard drive you've replaced twice and with the cooling fan that sounds like a small commuter jet has been replaced. You have a brand spankin' new machine sitting at your desk, a blank slate eager for your scribbling, and empty vessel waiting for you to start pouring cool stuff into it.
So, what comes next?
In your experience, what are the must-have programs that you need to install before your workstation is ready for your use, regardless of what project you're working on?
Must-have Programs
... - Moshe
page (which boggles my mind why Chrome doesn't have that), no Right-Click -> View Background Image
menu option (see the complaints here: code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=746). - Urda
A good visual compare and merge tool.
On Windows: Beyond Compare [1]
Sadly, I haven't found anything as good for OS X.
[1] http://scootersoftware.com/All platforms:
, *NIX find
, sed
, head
, tail
, cat
and most of the other tools that you use to make life at the command-line bearable)diff
and grep
on Windows platforms all by itself, apart from being a fantastic editor. - Gaurav
An application launcher like Executor [1] or Launchy [2].
[1] http://www.executor.dk/CCleaner, for keeping the machine new.
anyone using Windows
;) - imgx64
A lightweight PDF reader that doesn't try to take over your computer.
[1] http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/index.htmlGit.
All my projects are in version control, and using it is now so automatic that I feel uncomfortable writing code without a version control system.
No matter what I'm doing, I always need:
Particularly Process Explorer
[1] http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/default.aspxULTRAMON [1]
This is really useful if you have dual monitors.
[1] http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/I am assuming this is a Windows machine and that it does not have any of the usual crap-ware installed by default. I am also assuming that you company has MS Office installed so you don't need an email client, word processor etc. The list below are all freely available and mostly open source -
Most of these applications are available as portable apps that you can install on a flash drive from Portable Apps [1]. I normally keep them on the flash drive and copy them over to the new machine and run it from there.
It's convenient since they can be easily moved from machine to machine, so you get up and running faster :-)
If you have the following software installed please uninstall or disable them.
Some that people haven't mentioned:
Emacs with org-mode.
I used to be a Linux/Mac user, and when a new work environment imposed the use of Win XP, my productivity fell drastically. I'm not blaming the OS, it's just that functionality I've grown to rely on were no longer available.
I've since brought my productivity back up to speed, thanks to the following apps:
For Mac: Quicksilver [1]
There's a Windows version too but the Mac version is much faster if I'm not mistaken.
[1] http://quicksilver.en.softonic.com/macGuake [1], a terminal for the gnome desktop, which pretty much acts like a quake terminal.
[1] http://guake.org...plus half the stuff already said. I've tried so many times to make an all-in-one install disk, but it never works out.
edit: sorry, had to remove most of the hyperlinks. I am not yet worthy!
[1] http://www.manictime.com/Because not every problem happens when you have a debugger attached
[1] http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspxZoneAlarm firewall.
Ecco Pro [1]
I know there are much better outliners out there, and I've got several installed, but there's something about Ecco that makes me more creative when I'm mapping out a new high-level design.
Also, props to Microsoft for allowing an app from 1997 to still run flawlessly on an OS released over a decade later.
[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecco_ProTortoiseSVN [1] with Beyond Compare [2] as a comparison tool.
[1] http://tortoisesvn.net/PDFCreator, for printing to pdf
I use Ninite.com [1] to generate a batch installer for all of my essential applications (Firefox, CCleaner, Revo Uninstaller, etc).
[1] http://ninite.com/(All of these are Windows apps. The question doesn't specify operating system.)
Music player such as Winamp or Songbird

VMware Workstation only, because I do all work in virtual machines.
The software on a physical host is completely irrelevant for me--it may be a clean & empty Windows 7 or minimal Fedora installation--for obvious reasons I don't care.
Great freeware tool that extends your taskbar aver multiple screens and adds multi monitor support.
[1] http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/landing_chrome.html?hl=enI've got a shell script prepped that installs the following on my machine:
When I'm not within my usual haunt (Visual Studio) I'm usually working away in UltraEdit [1] which is a great text editor, I've used it for years and its never failed me. Got everything I need, but not bloated like other editors.
Other than that, Beyond Compare, UltraMon, Paint.net and FileZilla are other apps that are first to get installed on a clean machine.
[1] http://www.ultraedit.com/Alarm Clock Type Programs
Any alarm program that can run on my computer with a really annoying buzzer ring has the win for me.
LaTeX distribution, for times when Office just doesn't cut it. I prefer MikTeX Portable, can carry it with me as I tag along.

Minimizing the Risk of Trans Fats
The best way to minimize the risk of trans fats is to choose foods that have little or no trans fats present. Choosing lower fat dairy products and lean meats helps reduce total fat and any small amounts of trans fat naturally present in these foods. When it comes to pre-packaged foods and fast foods:
- Read the Nutrition Facts table on food labels and choose foods with no or minimal trans fat.
- Look for products with no added trans fat, or ones with the least amount of trans fat.
- Choose a soft margarine that is non-hydrogenated and trans fat free.
- Avoid fried foods and breaded foods as much as possible.
- Look for Health Check products in the grocery store.
- Look for restaurants that are part of the Health Check Restaurant program.

Hi: 14° Lo:7°
DURAN Duran star Simon Le Bon launched the Children's Air Ambulance.
The dad-of-three, who is a patron of the charity, flew into the helicopter's base at Coventry Airport before visiting one of its fund-raising charity shops in Warwick.
The Children's Air Ambulance (TCAA) will transfer critically-ill youngsters from general hospitals to intensive care units across England and Wales or help move specialist teams to give children lifesaving treatment and care.
The singer said: "This is a fantastic new service that is desperately needed throughout the UK because each year, thousands of seriously ill children need urgent care at specialist hospitals.
"However, at the moment, they can face long road journeys, which could be detrimental to getting the lifesaving help they need.
"This service relies completely on charitable donations from the general public. It is my intention to do all I can to raise the profile of TCAA and to help raise the money that is so crucial to keeping the service running."
The service needs a further £545,000 before it can fly its first mission with £134,000 required per month to maintain the service.
This money will be spent training staff and kitting out the helicopter to launch the country's first dedicated air ambulance service for critically-ill children and babies.
Andy Williamson, chief executive of The Air Ambulance Service, said: "It's a hugely exciting day for us.
"We have the helicopter, the pilots and the team and we're ready to go – our focus now is to secure the funds we need to get off the ground.
"The organisation is funded solely through the generous donations received from the public and vital support from corporate sponsors - without any Government or National Lottery funding - so we're urging the country to get behind the service to help us reach our £545,000 target."
The Children's Air Ambulance will operate under the umbrella of The Air Ambulance Service (TAAS), which runs the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance, and the Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance.
To donate visit thechildrensairambulance.org.uk or call The Air Ambulance Service on 08454 130 999.

2001 Volkswagen GolfVisitor, Troutdale, OR, May 24, 2010 21:34This is my first and last Volkswagon. Bought it at 80,000 miles. Engineered great, but built like crap. 10,000 miles later: had to replace alternator, belt tensioner, brake line hose came out of its holder and rubbed up against the caliper spilling brake fluid all over, moonroof leaked water, after tearing apart I found out that two of the four drain hoses to the moonroof came out of their holders and were pouring water directly into the car flooding the floorboards. Other volkswagon owners I know have sludge build up in their engines between oil changes in addition to their engines burning oil. I also have had to replace a taillight, something I have never had to do in any car I have ever owned. I have owned a Toyota, Ford, and VW, oddly enough the Ford was the best car I have ever owned; go figure.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

2000 Volkswagen Golfvxguard, Mount Airy, MD, July 23, 2009 07:182000 VW Golf, TDI - July 2009, 211K miles and going but not without some issues. Low ratings on Electrical & Lights due to the cracked headlight connector and the constant need to replace the headlight bulbs probably due to overheating. Low rating on A/C due to the fact that I haven't had A/C for the past 5-years and don't have the cash to get it fixed. Love the MPG, I average 51 miles per gallon and get over 775 miles per tank. Replacing the timing belt and associated hardware every 60K miles is a 6-8 hour job in the home garage and saves around $1,100 each time but worth the trouble to save the cash. Don't try this unless you have the talent and the tools, it's not like changing a fan belt! The car drives great, pulls strong and loves the hills and highways. It wants a 6th gear real bad. Around town it drives like a slot car, quick, peppy and agile. I'd buy another.RookieFlag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

Worst of the Anti-Mormon Web
Few anti-Mormons are as obnoxious as Kurt Van Gorden.
(By the way, if anyone knows his middle name I would
love to know it.) Here Van Gorden titles his essay
Man Progress to Godhood? Hey Kurt, did you find
all those "omnis" in the Bible, or did you
get them from some creed? For more information on
Kurt Van Gorden, see Dan Peterson's review of Mormonism.
I always like to read the letters that Sandra Tanner
publishes in The
Salt Lake City Mess. (Or maybe that is "Messenger.")
I wonder about the folks
who leave the Church over something like Covering
up the Black Hole in Mormonism? (This links to a fun, if irreverent,
review by Tom Nibley.)

Oybak, Emel (1993) Palaeoecological studies of selected mires in the Craven District of West Yorkshire with special reference to the late Devensian period and the Ulmus decline. PhD thesis, University of Leeds.
uk_bl_ethos_491725.pdf Download (9Mb) |
(1) Percentage and absolute pollen diagrams are presented for a lowland site, Sniddle Moss, and two upland sites, Thieves' Moss and Sunset Hole, in the Ingleborough Region, the Craven District, north-west Yorkshire. (2) The analysis of the earliest sediments of Sniddle Moss and Thieves' Moss suggests the existence of a Lateglacial sequence. A reconstruction of the regional vegetational succession mainly based on the Sniddle Moss 4 data reveals that at first a very open vegetation and a species-rich calcareous grassland were formed. The spread of juniper scrub preceded the expansion of tree birches. It is tentatively inferred that the early part of the Lateglacial is interrupted by a phase of deteriorating climate and that the relative warmth of the Lateglacial Interstadial gives way to a further and more prolonged deterioration. The climatic deterioration of the Younger Dryas Period is clearly registered by the decline of thermophilous taxa and the local severity of conditions demonstrated by the increased abundance of chianophilous taxa and other montane herbs in the profile of both Sniddle Moss (4) and Thieves' Moss (2). (3) The ensuing amelioration in climate at the beginning of the Flandrian (early and middle) is traced. (4) It is suggested that the woodland vegetation was being managed by the local Mesolithic and early Neolithic population prior to the first classical elm decline of the Atlantic/Sub-Boreal transition (c. 5000 BP). (5) Pollen analysis involving continuous sampling across the elm decline at Sniddle Moss (9) and Sunset Hole permitted a detailed reconstruction of the vegetational changes and the observation of the nature of the elm curve. A chronology for Sniddle Moss (9) is provided by radiocarbon dating. The initial recovery of elms is dated to 4710±45 BP and the second elm decline to about 4520 BP. The possible factors contributing to the first classical elm decline and the changes in the elm curve immediately following the first decline are considered.

Recap | Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
Head Coach Frank Haith
Opening Statement
"I thought we got off to a little bit of a slow start but when we put Kadeen (Green) and Steve (Moore) and Mike Dixon in the ballgame I think we went on a 20 point run. Those guys were instrumental in that, in terms that they brought the energy necessary for us to have the kind of game we wanted to have on the offensive court, not just on the defensive end."
On Marcus Denmon "Well if he's open I want him to shoot [the ball]. I don't know any other way to say it than that. Marcus is a terrific player and I did tell him before the game that he would play about 20 minutes regardless of the score. I think he probably figured that he'd better get his clips up early. He shot the ball very well, I think he's a great shooter. I've been around the ACC and some really good guards and he's right there with them. He's efficient, very efficient, in terms of shots he's so solid in what he does and how he scores and transitions too."
On three pointers
"I don't think so, we stress getting the ball inside. Obviously we can score in transitions, that's something we're really used to and really good. But I really got our guys to understand that we've really got a run offensive here, really moving the ball. "
On Kadeem
"I thought he played really, really well and that was encouraging and we need that out of him tonight. Kadeem is a guy that if he's able to help us he can and it gives us another guy with some size."
On the pace of the game
"Like I said earlier, we're comfortable playing that kind of game but as we move on to some of the other teams we play, we've got to be a run offense. I've stressed that with these guys because I thought we we're playing in transition all ballgame but we really need to learn how to play half-court offense."
Senior Marcus Denmon
On what the team got out of the game
"Going out there and getting everyone that feel of playing in front of the fans, getting reps and getting that feel for the home game. It also allows us to give some other guys quality minutes on the floor. They can get out there and play against someone else. These guys we feel are going to have to help us this year and these games gives them a chance to get that practice."
On the difficulties of settling down in the half-court offense
"Coach allows us the freedom offensively to play up and down. On the defensive end we will pressure the ball full-court, we do different up-tempo things. But right now we are adapting to playing this style of play, even though it is a fast-paced and up-tempo game, it is a little different."
On the importance of him shooting well
"To be honest, that's something my teammates expect from me. They see me working on my game every day in practice. But we have a lot of guys offensively that can score. The things that we work on every day to be consistent in because no matter how hard you work on, there's going to be some nights that you can't shoot the ball great. The things you can be consistent in is the defensive end, and that's something we have been trying to focus on. But I do believe that we have a lot of offensive abilities on this team."
Junior Michael Dixon
On the play of Kadeem Green
"I think he played pretty well. He came down with 11 rebounds, caused some drop-offs, things like that, what you want a big man to do. In this day and age it's not about a super-skilled big man, so if a guy can catch the ball, rebound, block shots and finish, he's a good big man. We're new to this offense as well as defense, so anytime we can go up against anybody else it's good."
On the difficulties of settling down in the half-court offense
"No, not at all. We've been working since the spring, and we've been putting the time in and of course there's always going to be some adjustment period. I feel we hit the ground rolling and we really have adapted to the new playing style on offense as well as defense."
On what the team needs out of Marcus this season
"Obviously Marcus is a big part of what we do. I think we contribute off him as well as he contributes off us. Marcus is a real unselfish player. We are going to need him to be pretty well every night. That's a lot to bestow upon someone, but I feel like he has the mental toughness and makeup to be able to do that. I feel like we have a good team--we have a senior-laden team and we are experienced. It shouldn't be too much weight on his shoulders because we are so experienced."
On his role as a spark plug
" I don't really like that word. I just feel like I'm a facilitator, and when scoring opportunities present themselves, I take them. I feel like I am a point guard but everyone knows I can score. I feel like I'm a pretty good passer as well. I do whatever it takes for the team to win, whether that's coming off the bench or starting. But I'm not really into the spark plug."

Dissertation Title: Home and Away: Blogging emotions in a Persian virtual dowreh
Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics
Subject Language(s):
Persian, Iranian (pes)
Dissertation Director:
Martin Paviour-Smith

Peter Petrucci
Dissertation Abstract:
This study explores the creation of a virtual dowreh (family/social circle)
via Persian language weblogs among a group of Iranian migrants in
Australia. The motivation and inspiration for this study arose from my own
experience as a migrant. I became interested in looking at how the new
generation of Iranian migrants use weblogs to form digital diasporas and
why they publish their emotional experiences online, thereby adding to the
understanding of a relatively under-researched community.
The study draws upon a sociocultural approach in order to bring to light
the role of weblogs in the context of the most recent Iranian migration and
the way Iranian migrants use them to replace dowrehs disrupted by the
migration experience where they could perform cultural identities and
express and share their emotions. Using a grounded theory approach and
discourse analysis to blog posts, the study investigates the expression of
emotional challenges, expectations, and cultural performances of a group of
Persian diasporic bloggers.
The exploration of a diasporic virtual dowreh produced several interesting
results. The findings suggest the possibility of online community formation
via weblogs where Iranians could meet and perform cultural identities which
are not available to them in the host society. Two characteristics that
marked the virtual dowreh were the type of Persian language used and the
interaction between the bloggers and their audience. The analysis
demonstrated that interactions between the bloggers and their audience via
commenting functions were noticeably governed by Iranian notions of
politeness and other Persian rules of decorum and cultural practices. The
analysis also illustrated that the language used in the virtual dowreh was
a combination of written and spoken Persian, Internet jargon, weblog terms,
and concepts from the host society. Furthermore, the exploration of the
emotional challenges of the bloggers revealed that certain emotions such as
homesickness and self-conscious emotions were among the major sources of
emotion in the diaspora and indexed the bloggers' Iranian diasporic
identities online. The study concludes with the importance of weblogs for
Iranian migrants in creating virtual dowrehs where they could
practise/perform cultural identities and express and thereby share their
emotional experience.

Two Lebanese artists, along with 19 others, have recently been shortlisted for a prestigious international prize reserved solely for established artists under the age of 25. The winner receive 100,000$, 60,000$ of which is in cash and 40,000$ which must be invested in new productions.
Born in Ashqout, Lebanon, Architect Rayyane Tabet's received his MFA from the University of California, San Diego. His artistic submission was based on five prominent childhood memories re-created as experiences.
U.S born Marwa Arsanios received her MFA in London and is currently living and working in Beirut. Arsanios's art focus trends towards a politico-social discovery of a historical Arab world, reinterpreting buildings, events and publications in an artistic fuse.
Watch both of their videos and see what our Lebanese artists have to give. Here's hoping one of them (or Egyptian Basim Magdy - hurray, Arabs!) wins the competition and makes our nation proud.

False labor is a condition that females undergo during pregnancy, in which they feel they are about to give birth, but it does not occur.
In 2378, B'Elanna Torres woke up early in the morning on the USS Voyager and told her husband, Tom Paris, that their child was due to be born. The two went to sickbay and The Doctor scanned Torres with a medical tricorder. He found that she was experiencing false labor, which was common in Klingon-Human pregnancies. (VOY: "Endgame")
