Article: Atmospheric water in the vicinity of Tharsis volcanoes from OMEGA/Mars Express observations[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The OMEGA mapping spectrometer onboard Mars Express combines high spatial resolution (˜ 300 m/px at periapsis) and high S/N ratio (> 100 over the whole spectral range). The experiment is well-suited to study in detail the behavior of water vapor in specific regions. Here we focus our study on the Tharsis region and particularly on the four great volcanoes, which are known to be the sites of peculiar phenomena related to atmospheric water such as frequent cloud formation or vapor enrichment implied by the ISM/Phobos 2 observations. In our analysis we use the 2.56 micron band, which is the most sensitive and 3 - 5 times stronger than the other water bands in the OMEGA spectral range, and is expected to be free of mineralogical features. Our retrievals cover different seasons and local times, allowing us to study seasonal and diurnal variability of atmospheric water vapor. The water mixing ratio below the saturation level retrieved from the OMEGA data on the volcanoes is systematically higher than that above the surrounding terrain by a factor of ˜ 10. Corresponding column density ranges from 1 to 10 precipitable microns and strongly depends on the height of saturation level which changes from < 1 km to 10 km over the surface depending on season and local time. This behavior depicts a rather complex picture. The atmosphere over the volcanoes seems to be able to retain higher abundances of water vapor compared to the surrounding region, but the overall effect on column density is limited by condensation effects. The enhancement of water mixing ratio above the volcanoes can be qualitatively explained by the combination of transport by upslope winds and adsorption / desorption of water molecules by regolith on the volcanoes.

ABSTRACT: The enrichment of heavy elements on Jupiter discovered by the Galileo Probe can be easily explained if these elements were brought to the forming planet by low temperature solar composition icy planetesimals. These planetesimals would contain all the heavy elements in solar proportions, subsequently enriching the envelope equally, as observed in volatiles ranging from Ar to S. This simple model correctly predicted the ratio of C/H found by Cassini-Huygens on Saturn. It also explains the values of C/H found in other giant planet atmospheres, and leads to the observed values of D/H. For each planet, the mass of material required - about 8-12 EM - is remarkably similar, and is consistent with the requirements of the accretion-collapse model of giant planet formation. If this model is correct, it implies that these low temperature icy planetesimals were by far the most abundant form of solid matter in the early solar nebula.

ABSTRACT: The OMEGA experiment onboard the Mars Express satellite provides spectral maps of Mars in the range from UV to near infrared The 2 56 micron band of atmospheric water vapour was used to retrieve its abundance and to study spatial and vertical distribution of the gas This particular study focuses on the water vapour behaviour in the vicinity of the Martian volcanoes The earlier findings by the ISM Phobos experiment indicated anomalous increase of the mixing ratio on the slopes of Tharsis volcanoes The OMEGA measurements confirm these results that imply virtually constant column density of atmospheric water above the volcanoes and around them Early morning observations also showed that water vapour peaks on the south-east flank close to the summit This behaviour excludes uniform mixing of the gas within the atmosphere but rather favors the suggestion that the atmospheric water is confined to a shallow layer near the surface and its content is mainly controlled by the regolith

ABSTRACT: To follow the stunning success of Cassini-Huygens we propose a new mission to Saturn that will return the same fundamental information about this giant planet that we are already obtaining about Jupiter This will put us in a powerful position to refine models for the solar nebula and the origin and evolution of giant planets The Galileo Probe has given us the abundances and isotope ratios of krypton and xenon plus 5 of the 6 most abundant elements composing Jupiter The Juno Mission presently under development will provide the missing abundance of oxygen The Galileo data already show a surprising enrichment of heavy elements whose interpretation engenders new constraints on giant planet formation that may also change current models of the solar nebula Lacking comparable knowledge of Saturn's composition we cannot tell whether Jupiter is an anomaly or the norm Resolution of this issue obviously impacts our perspective on the formation of the newly discovered giant planets around other stars We can obtain the necessary information at relatively low cost by a multinational mission combining an atmospheric probe using Galileo and Cassini-Huygens inheritance with the microwave sounding capability developed for Juno One potential pairing would have ESA build the probe with a NASA heat shield while NASA builds the carrier with communications star tracker microwave antennas etc supplied by some combination of ASI and the space programs of other countries We will illustrate possible results of the mission
Article: Infrared imaging spectroscopy of Mars: H2O mapping and determination of CO2 isotopic ratios[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: High-resolution infrared imaging spectroscopy of Mars has been achieved at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) on June 19–21, 2003, using the Texas Echelon Cross Echelle Spectrograph (TEXES). The areocentric longitude was 206°. Following the detection and mapping of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 [Encrenaz et al., 2004. Icarus 170, 424–429], we have derived, using the same data set, a map of the water vapor abundance. The results appear in good overall agreement with the TES results and with the predictions of the Global Circulation Model (GCM) developed at the Laboratory of Dynamical Meteorology (LMD), with a maximum abundance of water vapor of 3±1.5×10−4(17±9 pr-μm). We have searched for CH4 over the martian disk, but were unable to detect it. Our upper limits are consistent with earlier reports on the methane abundance on Mars. Finally, we have obtained new measurements of CO2 isotopic ratios in Mars. As compared to the terrestrial values, these values are: (18O/17O)[M/E] = 1.03 ± 0.09; (13C/12C)[M/E] = 1.00 ± 0.11. In conclusion, in contrast with the analysis of Krasnopolsky et al. [1996. Icarus 124, 553–568], we conclude that the derived martian isotopic ratios do not show evidence for a departure from their terrestrial values.

ABSTRACT: As solar-system bodies are cold objects, the low-frequency range, from the far-infrared to the millimetre, is very well suited for the study of planetary and cometary atmospheres, especially with heterodyne spectroscopy. Important results have been obtained in the past with ground-based antennas (detection of an atmosphere around Io, new species in Jupiter after Shoemaker-Levy 9 collision, about 20 parent molecules in comets). Herschel is expected to bring a major contribution to the study of water in the solar system (water cycle on Mars, oxygen external source in the giant planets, activity monitoring of comets, search for activity in distant objects, D/H in Kuiper-belt comets). Herschel will also accurately measure the D/H ratio in giant planets, a key parameter for understanding their formation processes. Both Herschel and ALMA will be used for searching for new minor species in planetary and cometary atmospheres, and for measuring the diameters of many trans-neptunian objects. Finally ALMA will be best suited for building 3-D dynamical pictures of planets, satellites and comets.

ABSTRACT: Considering the possibility of outgassing from some localized sources on Mars, we have developed a one-dimensional photo-chemical model that includes methane (CH 4), sulfur dioxide (SO 2) and hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S). Halogens were considered but were found to have no significant impact on the martian atmospheric chemistry. We find that the introduction of methane into the martian atmosphere results in the formation of mainly formaldehyde (CH 2 O), methyl alcohol (CH 3 OH) and ethane (C 2 H 6), whereas the introduction of the sulfur species produces mainly sulfur monoxide (SO) and sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4). Depending upon the flux of the outgassed molecules from possible hot spots, some of these species and the resulting new molecules may be detectable locally, either by remote sensing (e.g., with the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer on Mars Express) or in situ measurements.
Article: Detectability of minor constituents in the martian atmosphere by infrared and submillimeter spectroscopy[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Spectroscopic remote sensing in the infrared and (sub)millimeter range is a powerful technique that is well suited for detecting minor species in planetary atmospheres (Planet Space Sci. 43(1995) 1485). Yet, only a handful of molecules in the Mars atmosphere (CO2, CO and H2O along with their isotopic species, O3, and more recently H2O2 and CH4) have been detected so far by this method. New high performance spectroscopic instruments will become available in the future in the infrared and (sub)millimeter range, for observations from the ground (infrared spectrometers on 8 m class telescopes, large millimeter and submillimeter interferometers) and from space, in particular the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer (PFS) aboard Mars Express (MEx), and the Heterodyne Instrument for the Far-Infrared (HIFI) aboard the Herschel Space Observatory (HSO). In this paper we will present results of a study that determines detectability of minor species in the atmosphere of Mars, taking into account the expected performance of the above spectroscopic instruments. In the near future, a new determination of the D/H value is expected with the PFS, especially during times of maximum H2O abundance in the martian atmosphere. PFS is also expected to place constraints on the abundance of several minor species (H2O2,CH4,CH2O, SO2, H2S, OCS, HCl) above any local outgassing sources, the hot spots. It will be possible to obtain complementary information on some minor species (O3,H2O2, CH4) from ground-based infrared spectrometers on large telescopes. In the more distant future, HIFI will be ideally suited for measuring the isotopic ratios with unprecedented accuracy. Moreover, it should be able to observe O2, which has not yet been detected spectroscopically in the IR/submm range, as well as H2O2. HIFI should also provide upper limits for several species that have not yet been detected (HCl, NH3, PH3) in the atmosphere of Mars. Some species (SO, SO2,H2S, OCS, CH2O) that may be observable from the ground could be searched for with present single-dish antennae and arrays, and in the future with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) submillimeter interferometer.

ABSTRACT: Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) has been suggested as a possible oxidizer of the martian surface. Photochemical models predict a mean column density in the range of 10 15 –10 16 cm −2 . However, a stringent upper limit of the H 2 O 2 abundance on Mars (9 × 10 14 cm −2) was derived in February 2001 from ground-based infrared spectroscopy, at a time corresponding to a maximum water vapor abundance in the northern summer (30 pr. µm, Ls = 112 •). Here we report the detection of H 2 O 2 on Mars in June 2003, and its mapping over the martian disk using the same technique, during the southern spring (Ls = 206 •) when the global water vapor abundance was ∼ 10 pr. µm. The spatial distribution of H 2 O 2 shows a maximum in the morning around the sub-solar latitude. The mean H 2 O 2 column density (6 × 10 15 cm −2) is significantly greater than our previous upper limit, pointing to seasonal variations. Our new result is globally consistent with the predictions of photochemical models, and also with submillimeter ground-based measurements obtained in September 2003 (Ls = 254 •), averaged over the martian disk (Clancy et al., 2004, Icarus 168, 116–121).

ABSTRACT: Hydrogen peroxide H2O2 has been suggested as a possible oxidizer of the Martian surface. However, this minor species has never been detected. Photochemical models suggest that H2O2 and H2O abundances should be correlated. We have searched for H2O2 in the northern atmosphere of Mars, on Feb. 2-3, 2001 (Ls = 112 deg), at a time corresponding to maximum water vapor abundance in the northern hemisphere. The TEXES high-resolution grating spectrograph was used at the NASA/Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF). Individual lines of the H2O2 ν6 band were searched for in the 1226-1235 cm-1 range (8.10-8.15 μm). Data were co-added for three different latitude sets: (1) full northern coverage (0-90 deg); (2) low northern latitudes (10-10 deg); (3) high northern latitudes (40-60 deg). From the absence of detectable H2O2 lines in each of the three co-added data sets, we infer an H2O2 2-σ upper limit of 9 × 1014 cm-2 in the first case, 1.2 × 1015 cm-2 in the second case, and 1.1 × 10-15 cm-12 in the third case. These numbers correspond to mean water vapor abundances of 30 pr-μm, 20 pr-μm and 40 pr-μm at the time of our observations. Our lowest upper limit is eight times lower than the value derived by Krasnopolsky et al. (1997) in the southern hemisphere in June 1988 (Ls = 222 deg); the mean water vapor abundance corresponding to their observation was 10 pr-μm. Our lowest upper limit is between 2.5 and 10 times lower than the values predicted by global photochemical models, also calculated for a mean H2O abundance of 10 pr-μm. In view of this, we have developed a new photochemical model which takes into account the actual geometry of the observations and the corresponding conditions of the water vapor abundance, dust and temperature in the Martian atmosphere, inferred from the MGS/TES data. Assuming an eddy diffusion coefficient of 107 cm2 s-1 in the lower atmosphere, the calculated H2O2 abundance is only a factor 1.5 greater than the observed upper limits.

ABSTRACT: The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) satellite, operated by ESA in 1995–1998, has provided a very significant contribution to our knowledge of planetary atmospheres. The main results of ISO observations of the giant planets and Titan can be summarized as follows: (1) a new determination of the D/H ratio; (2) the discovery of an external source of water, and the detection of CO2 in the stratospheres of Saturn, Neptune and Jupiter; (3) the detection of new hydrocarbons in the stratospheres of Saturn (CH3C2H, C4H2, C6H6, CH3), Jupiter (CH3C2H, C6H6) and Neptune (CH3, C2H4); (4) the study of NH3 and PH3 in Jupiter and Saturn, and the determination of 14N/15N in Jupiter; (5) the detection of H2O in the deep troposphere of Saturn; (6) the observation of H3+ in Uranus. ISO spectra of Mars have provided information about the water vapor content and the composition of aerosols.

ABSTRACT: Several observational programmes were conducted with ISO (Kessler et al., 1996) aiming at the investigation of the near- and far- infrared spectrum of the satellites of the giant planets. Thus, Jupiter's satellites Callisto, Io and Ganymede were explored mainly with the spectrometers, while the spectrum of Titan, Saturn's largest satellite, was investigated thoroughly by all the instruments. The analysis of the data has provided original and precious information on the satellites' surfaces and Titan's atmosphere in particular.

ABSTRACT: Although there is no evidence of active outgassing on Mars today, tantalizing clues to the possible existence of "localized" outgassing sources, the hotspots, may exist. A tentative detection of formaldehyde (CH2O) "locally" in the north equatorial region from the Phobos spacecraft in 1989 (1) and the indications of recent ground water seepage and surface runoff particularly at the middle and high latitudes(2) are two examples. Ground-based observations have failed to detect formaldehyde. Those observations were, however, "global", i.e. averaged over large areas, usually the disk or the hemisphere. Therefore, localized outgassing sources may not be ruled out. If the Phobos result is correct, the relatively short lifetime ( ~13 hrs) of CH2O would require a nearly continuous source of methane (CH4) in the detection region. Other than methane, sulfur species (H2S, SO2) are the likely principal outgassing species. Once in the atmosphere, these molecules and their photoproducts would react with the known martian molecules, producing new species. Starting with the current "global average" upper limits of CH4, SO2 and H2S of, respectively, 0.02, 0.1 and 0.1 ppm, and progressively increasing their abundances above possible hotspots, we calculate the abundances of the new molecules. We find that the introduction of methane into the martian atmosphere results in the formation of mainly formaldehyde, methyl alcohol (CH3OH) and ethane (C2H6), whereas the introduction of the sulfur species produces mainly SO and H2SO4. Depending upon the flux of the outgassed molecules from possible hotspots, some of these species and the resulting new molecules may be detectable locally-for example with the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer on Mars Express.

ABSTRACT: We have searched for H2O2 in the northern atmosphere of Mars, on Feb 2-3, 2001 (Ls = 112 deg.), at a time corresponding to maximum water vapor abundance in the northern hemisphere. The TEXES high-resolution grating spectrograph was used at the NASA/Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF). Individual lines of the H2O2 nu 6 band have been searched for in the 1226-1235 cm-1 range (8.10-8.15 mu m). Data have been co-added for three different latitude sets: (1) full northern coverage (0-90 deg.); (2) low northern latitudes (10-40 deg.); (3) high northern latitudes (40-60 deg.). From the absence of detectable H2O2 lines in each of the three co-added data sets, we infer an H2O2 2-sigma upper limit of 7 1014 cm-2 in the first case, 2 1015 cm-2 in the second case, and 1015 cm-2 in the third case. These numbers correspond respectively to mean water vapor abundances of 30 pr-mu m, 20 pr-mu m and 40 pr-mu m at the time of our observations. Our lowest upper limit is ten times lower than the value derived by Krasnopolsky et al. (1997) in the southern hemisphere in June 1988 (Ls = 222 deg.); the mean water vapor abundance corresponding to their observation was 10 pr-mu m. Our lowest upper limit is about 10 times lower than the values predicted by global photochemical models, also calculated for a mean H2O abundance of 10 pr-mu m. However, taking into account the actual geometry of the observations and the corresponding conditions in the Martian atmosphere, the calculated H2O2 abundance becomes close to the observed upper limits by assuming an eddy diffusion coefficient of 107 cm2s-1 in the lower atmosphere of Mars.

ABSTRACT: Rapid granular flows have applications to many geophysical phenomena, such as snow avalanches and rockfalls. Kinetic theories are available which describe these flows as a continuum, based on an analogy between the motion of molecules in a gas and the motion of the particles in a granular flow. The governing equations arising from these theories are similar in structure to those which describe the conservation of mass and momentum in a compressible Newtonian fluid, but are supplemented by an expression for the conservation of fluctuation energy. We have developed a shallow layer, depth-averaged model from these equations for exploring the evolution of a rapid granular flow down a slope. In the process of depth- averaging, approximations have to be made about the functional form of certain terms. For example, it is necessary to express the total dissipation of fluctuation energy (due to inelastic collisions) in the layer as a function of mass flux, mean velocity, and mean fluctuation energy. In order to achieve this, we have determined some general relation- ships from numerical investigation of depth profiles of steady, non-developing flows down an inclined plane. The predictions of this model for the evolution of a rapid granular flow down a slope will be presented.

ABSTRACT: The ISO/SWS 1997 observations of Titan in the 600-1400 cm-1 range, where emission bands of CH3D and of methane exist, were analyzed using a radiative transfer code and an atmospheric model as described in Coustenis et al. (2001). From the best fit of the 7.7 μ m methane band we obtained a nominal temperature profile which we used - assuming values of the CH4 stratospheric abundance in the 1-3.5% range (the nominal value is 1.9%) - to find: CH3D = 6.7+2.9- 1.9 10-6 and hence a D/H ratio of 8.8 +3.2-1.9 10-5, with most of the uncertainty due to the ignorance of the exact methane abundance value. The ISO CH3D abundance and the D/H ratio are in good agreement with results from ground-based observations by Orton (1992), who found a D/H ratio of 7.75 +/- 2.25 10-5, and by Coustenis et al. (1993) who reported similar values from data obtained in 1992 with IRSHELL/IRTF and calibrated against the Voyager observations. Recently, by re-calibrating this data with ISO, we find a CH3D / CH4 measure of 3.2 10-4, from which we find a preliminary best fit value of D/H to be about 7.9 10-5. This work is in progress and aims to improve the D/H ratio determination significantly by combining all the data. Indeed, it appears that we may be reaching a consensus on the D/H value. The Voyager 1 value (Coustenis et al., 1989), of 1.5 +1.4-0.5 10-4, is higher, but still compatible with the upper limits of the ISO and IRSHELL data. Based on these results new constraints may be set on cosmogonical scenarios such as the one proposed by Mousis et al. (2001) which suggests among other that the atmospheric CH4 is continuously replenished by outgassing from the interior of Titan. References: - Coustenis, A., et al., 1993.

Article: Past and Future Space Observations of Titan in the Infrared and Submm Ranges: ISO, CASSINI and FIRST[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: After a first view of Titan obtained by the Voyager missions in the 1980s, Saturn's largest satellite remains a mysterious object. In particular, its lower atmosphere and surface are still largely unknown. The degree of complexity achieved by the chemistry in its stratosphere has not been clearly evaluated by previous space missions, due to low spectral resolution and/or sensitivity. With ISO, in 1997, we have enhanced our knowledge of the chemical composition of the atmosphere, but have failed to acquire full scans in the submm range, where the Saturnian straylight was too important. The CIRS instrument aboard the Cassini mission will considerably increase our knowledge in 2004, but may well be complemented by FIRST observations in 2007, thanks to the higher resolution and sensitivity that PACS, SPIRE and HIFI have to offer.

ABSTRACT: We present the far-infrared spectrum of Jupiter that was measured with the Short and Long Wavelength Spectrometers (SWS and LWS) aboard the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). The region between 38 and 44 microns was observed in grating mode, where the SWS provides a spectral resolution of about 1300. For longer waves up to 197 microns the LWS-FP (Fabry-Perot) was used to achieve a resolution of several thousand. The observations were made between 23 and 26 May 1997 during ISO's revolutions 554, 556 and 557. The Jovian spectrum in the far-infrared is compared to an atmospheric radiative transfer model using expected values for the vertical profiles of the atmospheric constituents. Rotational transitions of ammonia and phosphine are responsible for the absorption features observed: Strong ammonia absorption manifolds are obvious against the background continuum slope, appearing at 39, 42, 46, 51, 56, 63, 72, 84, 100 and 125 microns in both the data and the model. Also PH3 features are present at the expected wavelengths of 113 and 141 microns in both the data and the model. This is the first time that most of these far-infrared features have been detected. The ISO observations are therefore of interest for the preparation of the planned submillimeter studies of the atmospheres of the Jovian planets with FIRST.

Very interesting social commentary. I am a Grup. Without the husband and uber advanced 'cool' kid, YET.

In The Year 3000…
One of the many careers i would like to pursue if i had all the brain power and resources in the world to study anything i desired would be: Futurism. I would like to be a futurist, studying trends in all disciplines to forecast a realistic vision of what the future will look like in 20, 50, 100, 1000 years. How fascinating. Futurists get paid to study, write and lecture on the future. Good futurists are looked upon with respect, awe and even a little fear. They have permission and authority to delve into realistic sci-fi dreamings. Can you imagine spending your life daydreaming about the future?
From a fascinating 1989 artice in "Compute" Magazine on what computing in the year 2001 might look like:
If you're a novice telecommunicator, you may want to start with Prodigy (run by IBM and Sears), which is available in several metropolitan areas, including New York. Los Angeles, Washington, Baltimore, Atlanta, and Detroit. The service should reach 42 percent of American households by the end of this year and go nationwide by the early 1990s. Prodigy is easy to use and offers a panoply of features: online shopping, news, advertising, stock purchasing, electronic mail. You could sign on to a local BBS, or even tap into one of the giant databases such as DIALOG.
"A local BBS" hahha….

Million Dollar Homepage
Just an update on the million dollar homepage. Alex Tew has sold his last 1,000 pixels on ebay (BRILLIANT BRILLIANT) for $38,100. Kudos to Alex Tew on following through on an amazing idea, while also making some bucks at the same time.
Just some background: when i first read about his page last year, i immediately bought $100 worth of pixels for one of my websites verrrry early on. I've had tons of hits to my page as a result, and my page has been listed in other sites documenting the progress of the attainment of the 1 million. wow.
In The Desert
i am in the desert again. i was here a little over 7 years ago when i was doing my masters at PTS. in the desert is where i have no inspiration, no ideas, no spark. a dry, empty well. the good thing is I know God will fill it as He has done many times, but it is my lack of patience that makes it a tough time. back when i was at PTS i kept a poetry diary. i love reading through it because i what i wrote details exactly what i was feeling and records specific memories i would never recall otherwise. i call my poetry 'rbp' which is short for 'really bad poetry'. but i'm grateful for what i wrote and i read back on those poetry entries that were typed out in different fonts, printed, then cut out and pasted into a book. i realize i haven't written from feeling for a long time. i should start again. here is something typically expressive from the PTS book.
the well is dry
a drought felt
dust breeze
swirling sand
whistle pitch
in an instant
a constant flow
(this town took for granted)
a moment of pause
a drought felt
a dried
panic running
out of dream water
babies will die children will weaken
plants will wither fruit will sour
and know- the city mayors will meet
comes running
to look down
how to solve
the well dried
to bring back
flowing waters

Article Summary
A new backpack from Livestream called the Livepack puts a broadcast TV truck on your shoulders without the weight or cumbersome dimensions – but with the same broadcast capabilities. If you get A-list invitations that put you up close and personal with celebrities, or just fancy yourself as part of the paparazzi, this is a must-have device. The Livestream Livepack crams into a backpack the hardware unit to encode and transmit HD video, a Firewire cable, and six load-balanced built-in 3G modems in order to get the highest possible available bitrate. The system even comes with a dedicated IP address to stream to your Livestream channel - you'll be a professional roving reporter before you know it (as long as you can provide your own Firewire DV camera).

New Active Directory Documents for IT Pros
I've seen several posts on the new "authentication assurance" feature coming in Windows Server 2008 R2. The term we decided to go with is authentication mechanism assurance because it is actually the authentication mechanism that is assured. Authentication mechanism assurance uses certificate policies that are mapped to security groups. The certificates that are issued from the policy grant users who use them to logon additional group memberships in their access token. The expected scenario for using this feature is that a user with a smart card or token device (e.g. USB token) logs on using a certificate (issued from a policy mapped to an administrator defined security group). With this addition group membership added to the access token of the user account a distinction can be made (through that group membership) that indicates the user logged on using a specific type of certificate. This allows resources on the network (and elsewhere) to be secured as normal (using group memberships in the access control list), but has the ability to effectively distinguish that the user logged on with a smart card, USB token, or some other type of certificate logon method. Since the administrator can map different types of certificates (using different certificate policies) to different group memberships, it is also possible to distinguish the type of certificate.
As an example, consider this scenario: Three certificate policies
Now assume that these policies are mapped to three different security groups:
Now consider there are three different types of smart cards (they could all be the same type of smart card). Imagine they are categorized differently as in they have different colors or stickers indicating the following):
Now resource administrators could secure resources in this way:
Such a configuration would allow users who logon with Confidential smart cards to access the resources secured for Confidential Users. The users who logon with Secret smart cards can access the resources shared to the Secret Users group. The users who logon with Top Secret smart cards can access the resources shared to the Top Secret Users group. The users who logon using a username and password will not be able to access any of the resources described above.
Therefore, the authentication mechanism assurance allows administrators to secure resources (including applications) such that only users who logged on with a certificate based mechanism are granted access. Further, whether the user is able to gain access to specific resources also depends on the type of certificate (indicated by the certificate template and policy) that the user presents during logon.

The second edition of "Industrial Toxicology" is an even better reference book than the first, which appeared in 1949. In the new edition seventy-nine organic and one hundred eighty inorganic materials are listed, an increase of seven and forty-six listings, respectively. The same format is followed, in which the substance is discussed under the headings of characteristics, uses, toxicity, and analysis. Each is followed by a short pertinent bibliography. The material presented is up to date. It is objectively brief and usable.
The present edition includes appendices that enhance the value of the book. Of particular interest is a table of detoxication end-products. Another compares toxicities of various substances. The nontoxicologist using this book will find the introduction of considerable help in orienting him into the field of industrial toxicology.
The first edition has been a standard reference in the field. A new edition is welcomed. Industrial physicians will find

Real estate group Chas Everitt International has put up R30 000 to boost the Friends of St Francis Fire fund and provide better equipment and training for the local volunteer fire company.
The donation comes after a huge fire destroyed 75 buildings, which, according to the Kouga municipality, included 68 houses and six flats, in St Francis over the weekend, leaving the community devastated and struggling to come to terms with the effects.
"Our volunteer firemen under the direction of Keith Donaldson, along with the local NSRI members, did an exceptional job in helping to fight Sunday's blaze and get it under control without any loss of life or serious injury," says local Chas Everitt franchisee John Cooper.
Cooper says they are proud of all of the NSRI members and grateful to Keith and his volunteers for all the work they do and sacrifices they make to help and protect the community, which doesn't have a municipal fire or rescue service.
"They are real heroes but they don't even have proper protective gear such as masks and boots let alone enough equipment, so we are donating R30 000 and asking other local businesses to contribute too, to help keep them safe while they are unselfishly helping others."
Meanwhile his agency has been working non-stop to contact and update the owners of the homes in its rental portfolio - many of whom don't live in St Francis – as well as the holidaymakers who had already paid deposits to rent some of the destroyed houses during the coming season.
Cooper is happy to say that although they offered to refund their deposits, every one they have contacted so far has said they are still determined to come to St Francis and have asked the agency to try to find them alternative rental accommodation.

Hey, basically I bought an iPhone 5 on contract from 02 a few weeks ago, there was no real problems with the phone other than two simple things:
1) A dot on my phone app was constantly appearing saying I had unread voice mail on the server, however there wasn't actually any there at all, I checked constantly and it said it was empty.
2) Whenever I tried to phone someone, it would take a good 30-60 Seconds until it actually started to ring, and when it finally did and they answered, the phone conversations were practically impossible to manage due to the fact I was unable to make out a word the person was saying as it was like someone was turning the volume of the conversation up and down to the point it was as if they were whispering at certain points. Even if I had apparently perfect 3G signal.
I reported this to 02 who gave me a box swap as they said this was obviously a phone fault.
Surprise surprise, the issues not only remained on the NEW phone, but even MORE issues occured from it.
1) Along with the previous issues, now I was unable to do anything on my phone without 'Please sign into Apple ID' popping up repeatedly, no matter what I did, whether it was sign in or cancel it, it would pop up again and again. Not only this, the Apple ID it was trying to sign me in to was not even mine, it seemed to repeat the ID TWICE, which is extremely weird?
2) I am now unable to also do a lot of things, iCloud will not let me access it, coming up with a sort of error message every time I try. As well as that, I am ALSO unable to send Instagram photos to Twitter as an error message also pops up saying it is unable to connect.
P.S - I have tried all the common ways to solve issues, such as restarting ect.

Narrow Results:
Title: Pizza Problems: An Angle Investigation
This investigative lesson allows students to identify angle measurements as part of a larger angle. Students will deconstruct 180 degree angles into equal parts.
This is a College- and Career-Ready Standards showcase lesson plan.
Standard(s): [MA2015] (4) 25: Recognize angle measure as additive. When an angle is decomposed into nonoverlapping parts, the angle measure of the whole is the sum of the angle measures of the parts. Solve addition and subtraction problems to find unknown angles on a diagram in real-world or mathematical problems, e.g., by using an equation with a symbol for the unknown angle measure. [4-MD7]
Title: Angles
This is a student-narrated PowerPoint about angles. The student defines different types of angles such as right, acute, obtuse, straight, vertical, interior, and exterior. She also describes angle measurement and application of angle measurement. Standard(s):
[MA2015] (7) 12: Draw (freehand, with ruler and protractor, and with technology) geometric shapes with given conditions. Focus on constructing triangles from three measures of angles or sides, noticing when the conditions determine a unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle. [7-G2]
Title: Go Bananas over Angles!
Banana Hunt is an online interactive activity that can be used in a whole-class setting, cooperative groups, small groups, or with individuals. This fun website will have your students going "bananas" over recognizing angles. The interactive game ask, "How many bananas can you find in 10 searches?". The game has a large circle with an angle with a monkey on the end of one of the rays. Students will drag the monkey(ray) to the location of the banana by creating the correct angle. Students will press "search". If the students find the right location(angle) on the circle of the banana they will receive 10 bananas.
Standard(s): [MA2015] (4) 26: Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures. [4-G1]
Title: Measuring Distances and Angles
This site begins with a detailed tutorial explaining how we use distances and angles in the real world. There are 10 exercises to complete at the end.
Standard(s): [MA2015] (4) 24: Measure angles in whole-number degrees using a protractor. Sketch angles of specified measure. [4-MD6]
Title: ABC Teach - Measurement
These "Everyday Measurements" worksheets give students an opportunity to measure everyday objects and/or complete perimeter.
Standard(s): [MA2015] (5) 21: Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units. [5-MD4]
Title: Number and Operations Web Links
This collection of Web links, reviewed and presented by Illuminations, offers teachers and students information about and practice in concepts related to arithmetic. Users can read the Illuminations Editorial Board's review of each Web site, or choose to link directly to the sites.
Standard(s): [MA2015] (5) 26: Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties. [5-G4]
Title: Communicating about Mathematics Using Games: Playing Fraction Tracks
Mathematical games can foster mathematical communication as students explain and justify their moves to one another. In addition, games can motivate students and engage them in thinking about and applying concepts and skills. This e-example from Illuminations contains an interactive version of a game that can be used in the grades 3-5 classroom to support students' learning about fractions. e-Math Investigations are selected e-examples from the electronic version of the Principles and Standards of School Mathematics (PSSM). The e-examples are part of the electronic version of the PSSM document. Given their interactive nature and focused discussion tied to the PSSM document, the e-examples are natural companions to the i-Math investigations.
Standard(s): [MA2015] (5) 26: Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties. [5-G4]
