The spring blooms of the North American desert are long since over, but the same cannot be said everything. In England, spring is just arriving, in a tumult of wind and fog and rain and the occasional bright sunny day. I just moved across one continent and one ocean and have been given the distinct pleasure of experiencing spring twice.
Here are two small scenes from my second spring.
First, a field of rapeseed (a.k.a. canola, or Brassica napus). The crop flowers in early spring, and turns entire landscapes a brilliant shade of yellow. This kind of monoculture agriculture often has immediate downsides for local biodiversity and provisioning of ecosystem services like pollination. It is a high price to pay for the beauty of these brightly painted fields.
Second, a Japanese cherry (Prunus serrulata) in full spring bloom. The species is commonly planted, and in spring they cover the ground with a carpet of soft petals. On my first trip to a tropical rain forest I was very impressed by the wide number of species that bloomed before putting out leaves – it took a long time before I remembered that many temperature species like cherries take the same strategy. In the days since I took this photo, the flowers are gone, and bright green leaves have already flushed and begun to expand.
I will probably get a third spring when I head to the Rockies for summer fieldwork – I am effectively journeying to places with longer winters and delayed phenology faster than the planet's annual orbit cycle can bring warmer conditions to them. It is my favorite part of year, and I am lucky to get to see it so many times.
Think of a community populated by saguaros, prickly pears, and agaves – do you imagine a warm place or a cold place? These species are warm-adapted, so a guess that the community is warm is a reasonable one. But what if the community were actually cold and snowy, like below? This would reflect ecological disequilibrium, a mismatch between the niches of species and the climate observed in a community.
Disequilibrium seems unreasonable – we do not expect to find bananas growing in Siberia – but it is not impossible. And this possibility challenges several areas of ecology that we all rely on. Computer models projecting species' geographic distributions in the future assume that species have an instantaneous response to environmental change; similarly, paleoclimate reconstructions based on fossils or pollen also assume that communities' past compositions reflect past climates.
Rapid climate change or slow species change can result in disequilibrium. Species may persist in place even as the climate changes away from their physiological tolerances; alternatively, a rapidly changed site may remain un-colonized by physiologically appropriate species because they have not yet had the time to disperse there, e.g. after glacial retreat following the last Ice Age, as seen above. These are just a few of the possible scenarios that can result in more modest versions of the Siberian banana or snow-covered agave scenario. But how would we know if they were occurring?
We just published a new paper in Ecology (PDF reprint here) that explores ecological disequilibrium. We build a mathematical framework that lets us measure the strength of disequilibrium in a community, then test the framework in hundreds of forest communities across North and South America (data from BIEN). It comes with an associated R package, comclim, that lets other investigators assess disequilibrium in their own datasets.
What did we find? That most communities are actually in equilibrium with present-day climate. This is re-assuring for the assumptions of many current ecological models. But we also found that about a quarter of the communities we examined show strong lags with respect to present-day climate. We were unable to find strong explanations for why this subset of communities were out of equilibrium, providing an important problem for future research to focus on. We also found that disequilibrium will only become stronger under future climate change scenarios, suggesting that some of our equilibrium models will require modification in order to make accurate predictions for the future. Overall, I think the paper shows that communities' response to climate change can be lagged and idiosyncratic, a message that underscores the complexity of interpreting past ecological change or predicting future change.
This paper did not come together in a simple way. It began as an idea of mine to better reconstruct paleoclimate from species occurrence data, an idea that was funded by the Danish National Research Foundation and that ultimately sent me to visit the Center for Macroecology, Evolution, and Climate in Copenhagen. I originally decided to go not because of the science but because I wanted to escape a difficult personal situation at home. Once I arrived, my hosts and I soon realized that our proposal was not viable, as it assumed a level of ecological equilibrium for which we had no evidence. We re-oriented the project towards measuring disequilibrium instead. It took two years of visits to Denmark to finish major work on the project, and countless rounds of revisions and peer review to get it published. Three years later we have a product that I am proud of, and that bookends several important chapters in my life. I don't think that the me who wrote the original proposal would quite recognize the me or the final paper that came out of this adventure.
I hope you'll give the paper a read and see if it challenges you to think about climate change in some new ways!
After six years of living in Arizona, I had never visited the Grand Canyon. That finally changed this year. It was a marvelous ecological experience. The descent into the canyon is a journey back in time that ultimately reaches basement rocks that are nearly two billion years old. And it is also a journey through climate space, from the cold forests of the rim to the warm deserts of the river.
The top is covered by conifer forests – pictured here is the Colorado piñon (Pinus edulis).
Five thousand feet of elevation change covers a temperature differential of at least ten centigrade degrees. Looking down from the top, it is hard to imagine such a radical climate change could be tucked into the narrow bottoms of the rock layers.
But things change – here, about halfway down, western redbud (Cercis canadensis, blooming magnificently in purple) and other less hardy species begin to appear.
Further down the narrow side canyons begin to transport surface water. Dry ridges host warm desert-adapted species like Agave utahensis, but the wetter areas are able to support riparian species like cottonwood (Populus fremontii).
And then, magically, the river appears – the hidden architect of the canyon, the gathering place of water from these narrow side-canyons and also for hundreds of miles in every direction.
Walking alongside the river from its banks, I was impressed by its force as an ecological actor – to provide life and take it from such a wide portion of the continent, to cut down five thousand feet of rock in a few scarce million years, to so provide habitats for such diverse species, and to serve as a dispersal barrier for the many animals and plants (and people) stranded on either side of the rim.
Visiting the canyon after six years of thinking about ecology was undoubtedly a richer experience than if I had gone on the first day I moved to this part of the world. It is a marvelous teacher, and one that I am sure will continue to teach me.
Since 2011 I have logged at least 152,590 air miles. This corresponds to 98,300 kg of carbon emissions at an approximate conversion rate of 0.2 kg C / km (LIPASTO 2009) – and probably more significant when accounting for radiative forcing (IPCC). Almost all of this has been work-related travel – journeys to field sites, trips to conferences, and transitions to new jobs. Carbon emissions have been one of the major costs of my work to better understand ecology and climate change. And I know I am not alone.
Is it all worth it? It's an important question, and one that I have been thinking about for the past few years as my travel has accumulated. A recent paper by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research (Le Quéré et al., 2015 – covered by Nature) calls for scientists – especially environmental scientists – to reduce the amount of flying we do in our work. They argue that scientists need to lead by example – we fly far more than most people do, participate in the public conversation on climate issues, and so have an important opportunity (or moral responsibility) to make more environmentally friendly choices. Why should we be exempt from contributing to the emissions targets our countries have set? Is trust lost in the scientific community when it does not abide by its own proscriptions? Flying less is a difficult proposition for me, for many reasons that are thoughtfully outlined in the Tyndall Centre paper. I have fieldwork in other countries or remote areas that are nearly impossible to get to via other methods, or would take sufficiently long intervals that my work would no longer be feasible. For example, reaching South America from North America is nearly impossible without air travel, because there is no road or train line that crosses eastern Panama, and boat travel takes weeks. In order to share my research, build collaborations, and get new ideas, I have to attend conferences and meetings, which are rarely close enough to home to be able to reach by other means. For example, my last job offer was the lucky outcome of a chance meeting at a conference – at a drinks session I would have not been able to attend virtually, and at a destination that would have taken four days to reach by train. I lose all of these benefits by not flying.
Yet, maybe I should. Maybe I should re-orient my science to have a more local focus, choosing field sites that are nearby, and only attending meetings that I can reach by public transit. I could rely on collaborators for foreign work, and attend far-away meetings virtually. I try. I took a Greyhound bus to my last job interview. The other year I was living in Copenhagen and was invited to give a talk in Aarhus – so instead of even taking the train, I cycled there. But it took a whole day that I could otherwise have used for working. If I took this minimalist approach to all my work, I might soon have very little work left. I think there is an essential issue with the kind of work that ecologists and climate scientists do. Tropical forest ecology requires tropical forest ecologists. That is, knowledge and change do not come freely; rather, they come at the cost of hard work, and that work often has a large carbon cost. Our carbon emissions are hopefully a price that we pay to invest in our futures.
But I do think we can do better. I agree with nearly everything the Tyndall Centre report outlines. We can develop local capacity, so fieldwork and projects are led by local scientists rather than foreigners. We can focus our work closer to home. We can travel only for essential fieldwork or conferences, putting off opportunities where our contribution will be small. We can do better on supporting virtual meetings, and locating physical meetings in countries that minimize total emissions (e.g. the International Biogeography Society).
I am still thinking about my own choices. I have already said no to several international conferences this year, attended one virtually, and am trying to concentrate most of my fieldwork within a thousand miles of where I hope to eventually have a permanent home. But this year I am still going to cross the ocean several times for different obligations, and still will go to some tropical sites so that I can know them by the time I write about them. It's a start. I hope I am investing my carbon emissions wisely.
Locating a research site inside a bombing range might seem crazy, but it is what my friend Max is doing for his doctoral research. He works in a portion of the Barry M. Goldwater Range in western Arizona managed by the Marine Corps Air Station Yuma. The area is relatively pristine and well managed because of the military presence, and active bombing hasn't been carried out nearby for years. Plus, the 'unexploded ordnance' signs help to deter the Border Patrol officers from driving all over his research sites. I recently had the chance to visit this place as neither scientist nor soldier, but rather as a botanical tourist.
The vast sand dunes west of the Mohawk Mountains are an extension of the Gran Desierto de Altar, primarily located in Sonora, Mexico. The environment looks harsh and inhospitable, but it actually holds a surprising amount of life. Stone artifacts and petroglyphs indicate long-term human habitation, but the place really comes alive after a good set of winter rains.
The dunes can store a large amount of moisture, and it is this moisture that in rare years enables a beautiful winter bloom. Plants that have persisted via roots or seeds for many dry years seize the available water resources and put all their effort into flowering.
Dusk is the time when these ephemeral blooms are most spectacular. Many species have flowers that only open at night – their pollinators are not day-active, and perhaps the heat of the day would lead too too much water loss in delicate petals. My favorite species is Oenothera deltoides, a white-petaled evening-primrose.
This species is visited by crepuscular hawkmoths (here probably Hyles lineata). At dusk the sky darkens with these hummingbird-size insects, and a soft flapping sound fills in the air. It is utterly magical, and one feels like an intruder into a hidden ecological dance.
The next morning a dusty sunrise came. With the heat of the day the flowers closed, and the moths were long gone. Many flowers looked bedraggled, and finished for the season. The spring bloom lasts for only a few days, and comes only in rare years. It is a marvelous secret for a bombing range to hold.
Rain in the Sonoran desert feels different depending on the season. Summer monsoon rains are violent events bringing thunder and downpours. Winter rains are more peaceful events, bringing cool air, low clouds, and steady drizzle. And for the rest of the year, there is no rain at all. Seasons have a very different rhythm here.
When a large winter storm passed through Tucson a few weeks ago, it felt like the world was changed. Dark grey skies, the smell of water and creosote on the air, and the sound of raindrops on tin roofs and hard rocks are some of the joys particular to this part of the world.
When there is rain in the mountains, the runoff flows into our canyons and washes. Because many of these surfaces are relatively impermeable, often with bedrock bottoms, the result is a series of flash floods – one of my favorite parts of desert life.
I went with a friend on an exploration of Bear Canyon in the front range of the Catalina Mountains. Normally this is a quiet canyon with seasonal flows, usually smooth and clear, no deeper than a few inches. Here you can see the canyon in spring – part of a Sierra Club ICO trip.
Here is what the canyon looked like after that winter rain. We made several crossings of the canyon in its safer and wider sections, but the water was swift and more than hip deep. Bouldery sections created long whitewater wave trains, and larger bedrock sections become fast-flowing flumes and waterfalls.
Further down the valley, where Bear Canyon meets Sabino Canyon, the scene was similar. Waters were high above riparian mesquite and sycamore trees, flooding a wide expanse of normally sandy and quiet terrain.
The United States Geological Survey monitors many streams, including this one. Today, as I write this, the flow rate is only 2.4 cfs (cubic feet of water per second). The day I took the previous photos, the flow was 1290 cfs – almost a factor of 600 higher. This flood wasn't even a very large one – it was produced by only approximately two inches of rain – fairly average for a winter storm.
Rarer much larger storms can raise flow rates by factors of 100,000 – these floods are the ones that transport immense quantities of sediment, scour and downcut further the canyons, and disperse animals and plants to entirely new habitats. One of these days I hope to see one of these landscape-transforming flows.
The day after this storm, sun returned to the desert; two days later, flow rates were nearly back to baseline; by midweek, the rivers were dry again. Just another day in the desert.
The Sierra Ancha Wilderness is a rugged landscape of deep canyons, and seemingly a difficult place to live. Yet for two centuries this area was inhabited by the Salado people, a group potentially related to the northern Pueblo culture that populated the wider area. Floodplain agriculture and mesa hunting provided resources, while populations were concentrated in stone pueblos and cliff dwellings. These people and their culture began to fragment in the early 1300s and disappeared completely by 1450, leaving behind traces of their life only in archaeological evidence such as ceramics and charcoal and the occasional stone structure.
Last weekend I went in search of some of these abandoned cliff dwellings. Some are well-protected and easily visited, but others keep their secrets close. Our long and dusty journey into the mountains down a dirt road brought us to an uncrossable stream, and we set off on foot to explore some of the canyons you see in the background of this photograph.
Scrambling up these steep canyons, I began to wonder at the logistics inherent in a cliff lifestyle. Unreliable water sources, cliff-side traverses and loose slopes, and multi-mile walks to agricultural floodplains. Why live in such an inhospitable and difficult-to-access place?
We climbed up through bedrock and cliff ledges. The cliff dwellings remained hidden, well protected by the canyon's sharp turns and sheer sides.
And then one appeared. On the north side of the canyon, a set of stone and mud structures appeared, perched underneath a small indentation in the rock where two stratigraphic layers came together.
Crossing the canyon directly was impossible – a deep chasm with sheer cliffs separated us. We instead traversed the ledge further up the canyon, behind a waterfall, and then made a final scramble up.
The buildings was of stone and mud, with large wooden beams used as roof and floor supports. Here you can see a 700-year old handprint preserved in the mud, indicating the work-intensive method of construction.
Another nearby canyon, much narrower, held an even more impressive surprise. The approach was through the bedrock of a stream and up slippery manzanita-choked slopes. A final bend in the canyon revealed a fortress-like structure, balanced carefully on a narrow ledge.
The logistics of construction seemed nearly impossible. Long journeys would have been needed to carry rock and mud from the floodplain below, and the long pine timbers used as cross-beams and floors for these multi-level structures would have had to been carried from elevations thousands of feet higher on the upland mesas.
Defending these places would have been a simple task. The dwellings had a wide view of the canyon and no access routes except along a single narrow ledge. Nearby seeps could have provided water, and the cliff overhang prevented access from above.
The beams used in construction date somewhere between 1280 and 1350 A.D., established via tree-ring methods led by the archaeologist Emil Haury at the University of Arizona. His 1934 investigation into this region (The Canyon Creek Ruin and the cliff dwellings of the Sierra Ancha) remains one of the most in-depth studies of the region, involving long field expeditions under conditions far more challenging than we experienced. This Arizona State Museum publication records more recent information.
So what happened to the Salado people? No one is completely sure, but it seems likely that a series of extreme climate events (several long and prolonged droughts) in the early 1300s made their lifestyle inviable (e.g. Waters et al., Graves et al.). Perhaps the cost of acquiring resources to support a complex civilization outweighed the costs, as Joseph Tainter had earlier suggested in The Collapse of Complex Societies. In the end, all that remain to use are ruins and mysteries.
A few miles brought us back to our car, and an easy gasoline-powered trip out of the desert and back home. On the trip back out, I began thinking about what these silent places meant to me. And I think they felt like a warning to us – and to our resource-intensive lifestyle in the contemporary southwest.
In the first photograph of this post (actually taken on the way home), you may have noticed a piece of paper left on the car windshield. Someone else was apparently thinking the same thing about the ease of travel and life in the desert.
Only in Arizona.

Video Outlines Upcoming Curriculum Changes at CMU's Tepper School of Business
Mar 19, 2012 | 0 comments
Late last year, the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University announced that it will roll out a new curriculum next fall incorporating more training in leadership and writing. These represent important shifts for a school best known for its heavy focus on teaching quantitative skills. As part of the new curriculum, Tepper first-year students also will have more training in core subject areas before recruiters arrive on campus.
In a new video posted to the Tepper website this week, Mike Trick, senior associate dean of education, talks about the new MBA curriculum and how it builds on Tepper's deep allegiance to business fundamentals and data analysis while helping better prepare first-year students for interviews with recruiters.
"Businesses want interns to be useful right away and therefore our curriculum has to provide useful people right from the get-go," Trick says, noting that recruiters have begun coming to campus earlier and earlier. "The problem for us was that when people were coming in [to interview] for internships, they [students] knew the fundamentals but they didn't know the specifics of marketing or finance," he continued. In response, Tepper has tried to move a few core courses up earlier and has introduced a new intensive pre-program called BaseCamp providing an integrated overview of business and how the core disciplines and business functions work together.
Robert Dammon, who became dean last May after serving for 27 years as a professor of financial economics at the school, is spearheading the changes to Tepper's curriculum as well as embarking upon an ambitious fundraising effort to build a bigger building to accommodate Tepper's growing class. He told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in a recent interview that he hopes to expand the MBA program by as much as 50 percent, to 300 students, in order to take advantage of economies of scale.

Every once in awhile (ok, well; often) a client will pass along a news story that's so far off the mark that it makes me go Super Saiyan. Here's the latest one:
Cereal and Milk is the New Sports Supplement, Says Study.
Briefly, the new study looked at using a whole foods source - in this case, skim milk and Wheaties - to replenish muscle glycogen vs. a sport drink (probably Gatorade - the full study is available here ). The end result? Milk and cereal worked just as well to replenish muscle glcoygen and even better at promoting protein synthesis than the sports drink. In other words, Wheaties builds more muscle and refuels your muscles just as well as Gatorade (!). So we should all be having a bowl of Wheaties after our workouts, then; right?
Yeah, not so much.
Let's break this down in a science-y way:
We know from years and years of research that ingestion of carbohydrates post-workout speeds refueling of muscles by supplying muscles with the very fuel they need - glycogen (sugar). Both the Gatorade and the Wheaties contain carbohydrate; hence they both work well to replenish muscle glycogen stores. No mystery there.
Now the issue of protein synthesis (read: building muscle): We know from Jeff Volek's research that ingestion of carbohydrate alone actually retards protein synthesis - it results in a net negative nitrogen balance - while a combination of protein and carbs accelerates protein synthesis. Cereal and milk contains some protein along with copious amounts of carbohydrate; hence it worked to build muscle better than the Gatorade. Mystery solved.
I applaud Dr. Kammer's efforts to promote eating real foods as opposed to food supplements. Where the problem lies is in making the mental leap in saying that you should have cereal and milk as your post-workout nutrition. Yeah, it contains (scant) protein - but what about all that carbohydrate? Why not, say, eggs and fruit? Or chicken and a sweet potato? Or a post-workout shake a la John Berardi with 2 parts carbohydrate to each 1 part protein? Why skim milk and Wheaties?
Oh, because the study was sponsored by General Mills.
Why does this ruffle my feathers so?
1. News outlets consistently misreport the latest food findings. They either distort the findings to make them more newsworthy (creating an unnecessary confusing maze of nutrition for the layperson) or flat out get it wrong.
2. It's dreadfully difficult to get most people to eat enough protein. If they aren't worried about the purported (false) health risks of consuming meat, they (incorrectly) think that eating a salad with one chicken breast is "enough protein." By the way, please don't be this person.
Here's an alternative: Tell people to eat a mix of protein and carbohydrates after exercise (and how much). They're smart; they can figure things out on their own.

Pam, your definition is completely in sync with how CSC views social business. Kudos to tackling a tough topic but not avoiding the defintion!
Jan 16 Posted 3 years ago
Pam, where the pharmeceutical industry is concerned, I like your thoughts - - especially about people, mindset and especially about integration.
As pharmaceutical companies are getting more involved with spcial media what i see is that social media is many times beinbg viewed as another tactic. It is not an integral part of the strategy. One way this is exemplified is the desire to find an ROI for the specific social media tactic. The more successful companies are entering the social media arena in a small way, but integrating it with a bigger strategic initiative and measuring an improvement of the whole.

One of the first things that this blog says to me is that Social media is all about faking first and then reality second but the successful people on SM are always real and that does not mean posting stupid stories or outlandish activities. It is possible to eat spaghetti with a sppon but you need to do a few things first like cut the spaghetti into bite sized pieces. And SM requires the same planning. So does doing business. True success is always about people

Great post, Pam! Love that you pointed out a successful social business cannot begin online! BTW - my Nonny taught me to eat spaghetti with a fork AND a spoon! :)

Haydn - I was going to include links to some of your work as you know I am a big fan of what you have been up to recently :) However, I ran out of time and wouldn't have done you justice.
Yes, let's definitely hook up this week and discuss. Would love to see the infographic. I am working on another piece and want to reference and link to some of the best pieces out there with a goal of getting a real conversation going for those interested.
I'm in the office all week so let me know what works and we'll make it happen!
Have a great rest of your Sunday!

In the game i like using a couple of moves. I like hesitation crossover. In and Out on fast brakes. Scissor dribble when i'm sizing up opponents, and step dribble to creat space to keep from getting a "Five second...." violation. I also like Jab - stepping with an unused dribble, and head faking with a used dribble when being guarded or when isolating.

Newspaper Obituary and Death Notice
San Diego Union-Tribune, The (CA) - January 28, 1998
Terence McArron, 76 decorated WWII vet, 30-year postal worker
Terence Bennett McArron remembered every bombing mission he flew over Nazi-held territory during World War II. The flight he remembered most was the one that left his bomb bay sloshing with aviation fuel.
"He was returning to England in a B-17 and was the co-pilot," said his son, Patrick McArron of San Diego. "His Flying Fortress had taken some hits, and the tanks were punctured.
"He said it was a wonder he survived the landing without the plane blowing up."
Mr. McArron later was awarded the Air Medal for demonstrating "courage, coolness and skill" on that and other flights during the war.
Mr. McArron died Jan. 17 from pulmonary fibrosis at his home in La Mesa. He was 76.
The youngest of nine children, Mr. McArron grew up on farms in Missouri and Kansas. He graduated from Mount Shasta High School in Northern California in 1939 and began studies at San Diego State.
World War II interrupted his college plans, and he enlisted in the Army Air Forces in June 1943. He became a B-17 co-pilot in the
401st Bomb Group
, 613th Squadron, 8th Air Force.
After receiving an honorable discharge in November 1945, he went directly into the Air Force Reserve and retired from that service in 1972 with the rank of major.
He married Rosemary Anne Bauman in 1945 in Sioux Falls, S.D., and then resumed his studies in economics at San Diego State, graduating in 1948. In 1946, he began a 30-year career with the U.S. Postal Service, working in Serra Mesa, Coronado and Logan Heights and at the former Main Post Office on E Street downtown.
Mr. McArron was an avid fisherman and loved to travel with his wife and their poodle. He enjoyed working on his computer and used it to write an autobiography about his military service based on 160 letters he wrote to his parents during that time.
"Every Wednesday he would meet at Miramar Naval Air Station with friends from the military and his former pilot class for lunch, where they would hash over stories about 'The Big One,' " his son said. "He is still survived by his pilot, W.H. Ford of Kerrville, Texas."
Along with his son, he is survived by his wife of 52 years and 14 nieces and nephews. The family suggests donations in his name to a favorite charity.
A memorial service is scheduled for 2 p.m. tomorrow at Salli Lynn Chapel at Greenwood Memorial Park. A reception will follow at the family home. Ashes will be interred at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery.

Auto MAX-DOAS measurements around entire cities: quantification of NOx emissions from the cities of Mannheim and Ludwigshafen (Germany)
ABSTRACT We present Auto Multi-Axis (MAX-) DOAS observations of tropospheric NO2 carried out on circles around the cities of Mannheim and Ludwigshafen (Germany) on 24 August 2006. Together with information on wind speed and direction, the total emissions of the encircled source(s) can be quantified from these measurements. In contrast to recent similar studies based on of zenith scattered sun light (elevation angle of 90°), we use a MAX-DOAS instrument mounted on a car, which observes scattered sun light under different elevation angles (here 45°, and 90°). Compared to simple zenith sky observations, MAX-DOAS observations have higher sensitivity and avoid systematic offsets in the determination of the vertically integrated trace gas concentration. Auto MAX-DOAS observations are especially well suited for the determination of the total emission of extended emission sources (e.g. whole cities), for which typically no sharply defined plumes are formed. In such cases, the trace gas concentrations can be rather small and thus even small systematic offsets in the observed integrated tropospheric trace gas concentration can have a large effect on the determined total emissions. However, such measurements are still affected by several uncertainties which need to be further investigated and minimised. The largest error source is probably the variability and imperfect knowledge of the wind field. In addition – depending on the trace species observed – also chemical transformations between the emission sources and the measurement location have to be considered. In this study we use local observations within the encircled area to quantify and correct these errors. From our observations we derive a total NOx emission from the Mannheim/Ludwigshafen area of (7.2±1.7)×1024 molecules/s (or 17350±4100 t, calculated with the mass of NO2), which is in surprisingly good agreement with existing emission estimates.

Currently I have a C# program that takes speech using the MS Windows Speech Recognition (SR) System, converts it to text, sends the question as text to Worlfram Alpha, and then reads the text-based answer back using text-to-speech (TTS).
Unfortunately the computer can only recognize a list of predefined sentences and phrases that are defined in grammars that are input into the SR. I need the program to recognize any sentence without having to define an enormous grammar file containing every word in the English language. How can I have the program recognize any English phrase without having to define a grammar file that contains the rules for the complete English language? Is this possible?

Jefferson Adams is a freelance writer living in San Francisco. His poems, essays and photographs have appeared in Antioch Review, Blue Mesa Review, CALIBAN, Hayden's Ferry Review, Huffington Post, the Mississippi Review, and Slate among others.
He is a member of both the National Writers Union, the International Federation of Journalists, and covers San Francisco Health News for Examiner.com.
Most recently, Djokovic earned his first-ever U.S. Open tennis championship with a grueling 6-2, 6-4, 6-7 (3), 6-1 victory over Rafael Nadal that took 4 hours and 10 minutes to complete.
Djokovic, who had been hovering near the top of the men's world tennis rankings for several years, credits his most recent break through to a gluten-free diet. Djokovic adopted the gluten-free diet after testing by his nutritionist showed him to be gluten intolerant.
Because Djokovic cannot process the carbohydrates that were his most common fuel source, and he was forced to find alternative foods to provide the energy and stamina needed to prevail in long matches.
With just two losses this year coming to Roger Federer in the Semifinals of the French Open, and to Andy Murray in the finals in Cincinnati, Djokovic is having the best year of his career. He credits this change to his gluten-free diet.
"I have lost some weight but it's only helped me because my movement is much sharper now and I feel great physically," said an energized Djokovic, who has now beaten Rafael Nadal in five finals this year.
This shows that, while it is possible for people with gluten intolerance to excel in life, even while not getting proper nutrition, getting diagnosed and adopting a gluten-free diet can have clear and obvious benefits, and can, in some cases be the crucial difference in success.
The gluten-free community should keep their eyes on Novak Djokovic to see how a focused gluten-free diet can make a major difference for people who are gluten intolerant.

Each section of this site has it's own color.
I found it really fiddly to style each page and menu item the same color as the panel on the home page.
What I want to be able to do is make sure that child pages added by the site owner. Hopefully, no more top-level pages will be added and the site owner has strict instructions not to add any more!
So, can I add a class to child page h1 elements that will be consistent across the site and then style those headers accordingly?
I think I'll add another question about restricting top-level pages.
