Simulation Base Analysis of TCP Reno and TCP Westwood Over IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
Mobile ad hoc networking has been a fast growing research area for the last few years. The need for a network when there is no fixed infrastructure is no more limited to military and emergency applications; ad hoc networks can include private and public applications as well. In ad hoc networks, wireless mobile computing devices can perform critical network topology functions that are normally the responsibility of the routers within the Internet infrastructure. Although, there are many kinds of protocols available today that are supported by fixed network infrastructure, they need adaptation before they can be useful in ad hoc networks no longer connected to the Internet infrastructure.

Col Mande
I have met you on a number of occassions but I have never asked you this question which bothers me everyday.You have narrated to us how bad M7 is and how he killed your Brother. But in 1987, NRA soldiers murdered UFM fighters in cold blood.
Many were picked from Mubende Barracks and taken to Lubiri, Kireka and other barracks from where they were tortured later on murdered.You Mande, Besigye, Muntu and others knew when these murders were being committed and all you did was to keep quiet.
UFM soldiers who were serving in Northern Uganda were locked up in a semi-trailer and suffocated. UFM/A Officers who were living in Bugoloobi flats were blind folded, tied three-piece( Kandoya) and then shot at a close range. One of theNRA soldiers who participated in these murders which took place in Bugoloobi is Jimmy Ateesa who you live with in Sweden.
Surely, why did you allow this to take place? Why did you only dessert M7 after he had started killing your relatives.Mande, You watched as Banyarwandas like Kagame, Rwigyema and Kaka were killing Baganda officers who had served in UFM/A. You even gave Paul Kagame a petty name ( Pilaato) because of his brutality against UFM soldiers has he hit them on the head with a short hoe at DMI.
I feel bad about what NRA did to Dr Andrew Kayiira and other UFM soldiers who were murdered for simply being Baganda.
You,Col Mande ,captured Gulu town during the liberation of Uganda. UFM/A captured Jinja, Mbale, and proceeded to Soroti via Kabera Maido. They joined Mande and supported him to flush out the UNLA in Gulu and when the guns went silent, your brigade(Col Mande's brigade) turned against UFM/A and started shooting them as if they were not humans.
We need something new. Something different. We need the Obama of our own. What makes M7, Besigye, Muntu and company think that we can't do without them.
We need a new charismatic person. We want Ogenga Latigo, Reagan Okumu, Betty Nambooze, Erias Lukwago and many others to come out and contest for the presidence.
Besigye, Muntu, M7, UPC etc must stand trial for murder.May the souls fo the UFM/A soldiers who were murdered by NRM/A rest in eternal peace.
RIP Andrew Kayiira.
Buhanga Herbert

Finding yourself in the job market can be an exciting and terrifying time. Whether a first-time job seeker or returning to the work force after a period of unemployment, personal responsibility or a job change, it can be bewildering. You may be unsure where to begin or you may even have too many options. �That can be just as confusing as not having any choices,� says Linda Rolie, owner of Career Counseling Services in Ashland and author of Catch Me When I Fall: Smooth Landings for Job Seekers.
A great place to begin is to develop a career plan that can be divided into specific action steps to move you toward your career goals. Peter Weston, director of Career Development Services at SOU, says a career plan can be broken into three main parts: exploration, understanding and action.
1. Know your options
The best place to begin looking at your career choices is by taking some time to assess your own personality and skills. �This may be accomplished through a variety of methods, such as reflection, individual or group career counseling and career assessments,� says Weston. �Questions like �What are my interests and skills?� or �What do I value in a work environment?� can be a good spring-board for further exploration.� There are a number of assessment tools available that help to identify both transferable skills and what Rolie calls �core competencies� � personal strengths and skill sets that will be assets in a job situation. It�s also the time to look ahead, as she asks, �Where do you want to be in seven years?� From these beginning steps, it will be much easier to look at job titles most suitable for you.
2. Find out more
Once you�ve identified some job avenues that interest you, both Weston and Rolie recommend doing some research. This may range from seeing what the job market is in that field to setting up an �informational interview� or job-shadowing session. Rolie always encourages this to get a clearer sense of the opportunities, physical demands and required skills from someone already working in that field. Weston concurs, �An informational interview with a professional in one�s desired field or job function can be highly beneficial in providing more information in facilitating career choices,� and points out that other benefits including building a network, internships, volunteer opportunities or even employment can result from this informational contact. This will also help you identify any training or education that may improve your future in that career. �A well-informed understanding of the job market, salary expectations and educational requirements strengthen one�s career plan,� sums up Weston.
3. Set your goals
Once you�ve assessed different job titles, it becomes easier to identify smaller steps that will move you forward. It may be that you only need to polish your resume to be ready to move ahead. �An authentic resume will open a lot of doors,� says Rolie and should be flexible enough to apply to a variety of job applications.
Rolie also says interview coaching can be very helpful. A lot of people are just lacking confidence, she says, while some just need to add a new tool to their skills box to step into a new career. An internship or volunteer opportunity in your chosen field can increase your experience and skills. Weston points out that each summer job, internship, or volunteer opportunity introduces and/or strengthens a person�s skill set, and makes them more marketable to employers.
And that is the goal of any career plan. �I�m always looking how to design a suitable fit between an employer and employee,� says Rolie. And a well thought out career plan is the road map that will lead to the best career choice for you.

Tamil Padam (2010) Movie Download
Tamil Padam Movie Download (2010)
Film: Tamil Padam (2010)
Cast: Siva, Disha Pandey, M S Baskar, Vennira Aadai Moorthy, Manobala
Direction: C S Amudhan
Production: Dayanidhi Alagiri
Music: Kannan
Movie Review : It's a brilliant idea, to make a mocumentary of Tamil cinema, and the very concept raises your expectations. Of course Hollywood has been experimenting with spoofing of films, in various genres, from the 1940s, with 'My Favourite Brunette' being the earliest, and the 'Scary Movie' series the latest.
Spoofs work largely on two aspects-- the ability to identify films which lend themselves to being poked at, and a variety of roles which showcase the done-to-death plots. Tamil cinema has plenty to offer in both areas. From the dialogues of 'Parasakthi', the mother sentiment first popularised by MGR, the performance-packed scenes in 'Thillana Mohanambal,' the larger than life roles of Sivaji Ganesan, immortal scenes such as the ones between Nagesh and Sivaji in 'Thiruvilayadal, the Kamal-Rajni combo when they played hero and villain and a thousand more.
The trick is to set up a teaser, a kind of spot-the film and the situation type of contest so that fans get into a tizzy for two-and-a-quarter hours, in trying to crack the clues. 'Tamil Padam' begins in Cinemappati, a fictional village where male infanticide is forced on the villagers. Why? Because all the village youth migrate to Chennai and within a year 'declare themselves as international superstars or future chief minister.'
Shiva (Shiva) a new born, however talks his way out of his impending death and is smuggled out to Chennai by 'Paravai' Muniamma who dons the role of his grandmother. And as the camera pans over Central Station, an auto driver raises the question, "Aren't there other landmarks?" Bingo!

Catfield Fen – again
I have previously blogged about Catfield Fen on 30 May 2012, 22 August 2012, 10 September 2012, 30 September 2012 and 6 August 2013. These things do drag on don't they? Many readers of this blog emailed the EA on this subject last year – for which I thank you, and for which I have a feeling Catfield Fen would thank you if only a Fen could.
What's at issue here is whether permission should be given for water abstraction for farming that may be causing the drying out of a wetland of European nature conservation importance in the Norfolk Broads. The Environment Agency is supposed to be deciding this issue and it is taking a very long time about it – and in that very long time the water abstraction continues.
Here is the EA website with lots of relevant, although slightly impenetrable, details here (for the whole kit and caboodle) and here (for links to the documents from which I have taken extracts for this blog).
Natural England have now given EA some advice on the appropriate assessment of the impact of water abstraction on Catfield Fen. Here are some key excerpts:
- The appropriate assessment concludes that you are able to ascertain that the proposal will not result in adverse effects on the integrity of any of the sites in question. Having considered the assessment, it is the advice of Natural England that it is not possible to ascertain that the proposal will not result in adverse effects on site integrity. Natural England advises that the assessment currently does not provide enough certainty to justify the assessment conclusion and that the EA should not grant the abstraction licences at this stage.
- The Appendix 4 assessment concludes that there will be no damage to the Upper Thurne Broads and Marshes or Ant Broads and Marshes based on technical assessment and conclusions presented in the appropriate assessment for The Broads SAC, Broadland SPA and Ramsar. It is the advice of Natural England that it is not possible to ascertain that the proposal will not result in damage to the SSSI's. As with the appropriate assessment Natural England advises that the assessment currently does not provide enough certainty to justify the assessment conclusion and that the EA should not grant the abstraction licences at this stage
- Our key concerns are:1) Natural England has clearly stated in our advice to the EA that the impact of the abstractions should be compared to the naturalised scenario, however the assessment is based on the assumption that the hydrological regime was acceptable in 1986 and therefore uses the historical abstraction scenario in 1986 as the baseline. This is a fundamental issue and affects the whole assessment.
2) Natural England does not believe the assessment has been sufficiently precautionary for the Habitats Directive in terms of the targets set and the risk categories within the risk
matrix. In particular we disagree that a 5cm or less breach for water levels (related to
threshold for non-drought summers) is a low risk.
3) Based on our concerns outlined in points 1 and 2 above we do not agree that "abstraction is sustainable in terms of maintaining the conservation status of the designated features…"
4) The assessment does not clearly document the conclusions of no adverse effect alone and in combination.
5) Whilst the invertebrate communities are mentioned in table 3.1 (appropriate assessment
p15) as sensitive features and the conclusion of the assessment 8.7.1 (p78) mentions the Broadland Ramsar designation, the assessment does not provide any consideration of the SSSI and Ramsar designated invertebrate communities that are very sensitive to subtle changes in water chemistry across the mosaic of habitats on the site. Although we do not have any hydro ecological guidelines for the invertebrates, Natural England advise that the Appropriate Assessment uses a precautionary approach that recognises changes from a naturalised baseline.
In other words (I may be simplifying a bit): water abstraction cannot be ruled out as an important factor leading to the drying out of these sites which are designated under EU and domestic legislation and we think you've done it all wrong anyway! All that 'can't be sure it isn't having an impact' stuff is important because the precautionary principle means that the benefit of the doubt, if there is any, should go to the environment.
It's a very polite letter, but it tells EA that unless they have some better evidence, based on better methods, then they shouldn't be allowing water abstraction to continue. And to simplify some more – NE have found some balls at last!
The Broads Authority are getting more involved in this issue too – probably because of increasing fears that water abstraction is having a widespread impact on the hydrology of the area.
The Broads Authority commissioned Prof Ken Rushton (who wrote the textbook on the subject – literally) to review the EA Groundwater Summary Report. Here are some extracts from Prof Rushton's review:
- There are several limitations in the approach adopted including:
- • an unsatisfactory analysis of test pumping and a failure to explain how the radial flow model results are incorporated in the NEAC model,
- • failure to take note of field information, for example ground surface elevations and the elevation of the base of the rooting zone,
- • conceptual models which fail to take account of certain conditions in the fens such as ponding,
- • unsatisfactory representation of hydrological conditions at the surface of the fen including ponding.
- • failure to critically compare field and modelled hydrographs to identify reasons for differences,
- • in certain locations there are insufficient groundwater head hydrographs to asses the ability of the model to reproduce field conditions. Piezometers into the Crag underneath the fens are essential for a check on the adequacy of the model responses and also for identifying changing field conditions.
- • failure to appreciate the implications of the results for different grid sizes which show that it is necessary to have a fine grid to represent features such as individual drains in the fens and their effect on groundwater levels within marsh blocks.
and here is another by way of summary:
- Since the above approach has not been followed, results from the modelling are not reliable.
Prof Rushton thinks, again I may be simplifying a little, that EA have a useless and pretty worthless model, it seems. You can tell that by the way he uses the words 'failure', 'insufficient', 'fail', 'unsatisfactory' and 'limitations'.
The Broads Authority interpret Prof Rushton's report in a similar way to the way I do as they summarise the situation as follows:
Summary of Areas of Concern
A. An inadequate groundwater model development process has been followed, failing to use the Environment Agency modelling guidelines;
B. More detailed conceptual models required, especially for the fens;
C. Inappropriate mesh spacing of groundwater model – Technical Note prepared for the Environment Agency indirectly demonstrates that the 200m mesh spacing model cannot reproduce important processes within fens;
D. Lack of sufficient suitable observed groundwater level data to confirm the reliability of the model;
E. Need to develop a computational methodology for representing actual groundwater and surface water conditions in the fens;
F. Given the shortcomings of the conceptual models and computational modelling, the results from the modelling are not reliable and should not be used for licence determination;
G. Errors and assumptions about site hydrology of Sharpe Street Fen;
H. Anecdotal assessment of the role of site management without reference to
Broads literature;
I. Gaps and lack of consideration of water level and Ellenburg values;
J. Lack of ecological evidence to base the 1986 abstraction as acceptable.
Now this is all technical stuff – but what it means is that EA shouldn't be consenting water abstraction that might affect Catfield Fen and it ought to be reviewing all other similar consents that might affect the Norfolk Broads or other similar wetland sites because the EA models are not reliable. Under these circumstances there may be lots of abstraction licences that should be terminated.
In fact, unless EA can come up with a pretty robust defence of their position it rather looks as though they don't really have a clue. Again, I may be simplifying a little.
I have huge admiration for Mr and Mrs Tim Harris, who own Catfield Fen, and who have battled hard, and at some considerable expense, to protect the wildlife gem which they own. Wildlife NGOs have been a bit slow to get involved, Natural England has only recently found a spine and some balls, and the Broads Authority possibly could have got involved quicker too. But things are now moving, very slowly, towards what might just be a sensible conclusion.
EA – we are watching you with interest to see what happens next.
And it will be worth keeping an eye on the NFU too – they will soon be harrumphing about feeding the world no doubt. There are a lot of vested interests at stake here, and a few backs that may want to be covered too.

excellent analysis Mark.
I think this provides sufficient data information and expert opinion for a complaint to be taken to the European Commission against the UK Government on failure to implement the Habitats Directive with regard to The Favourable Conservation Status of Catfield Fen and also the wider implications for other ground-water driven ecosystems protected under the Habitats Directive. The obvious people to take this complaint would be the site owners, and they would best approach an NGO with legal expertise to supprot them in their complaint. Client Earth comes to mind, although RSPB, with their "all nature" agenda also have the wherewithal.Likes(10)Dislikes(3)
Catfield fen is the only place I have seen a wild otter. Also several swallowtails. In such places precautionary principle should hold.

Stopping abstraction here would set a precedent for other sites affected by water loss, which is probably most of them. It is too big a move given the lobbying and government control of EA.
My concern is - why can't the Natural England stop the abstraction here? I do not find anyone these days that knows what Natural England are there for. They seem to move the goalposts often, again in response to government pressure, I believe.Likes(3)Dislikes(3)
At this link dated 22 April 2014 - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/catfield-norfolk-abstraction-licences/catfield-fen-norfolk-abstraction-licences - it says this: "Since April 2011, Natural England have re-surveyed the site and used new ecological data to come to a view on its condition. Their latest advice is that the Fen is no longer considered to be drying out, but that there is evidence to suggest a change in the ecology and that the reason for this should be investigated."
This is at odds with the statement in the letter from James Pereira in March 2013 "the drying out itself being an established and agreed fact". So what is the truth?Likes(4)Dislikes(2)
You seem to be concentrating on abstraction and ignoring the altered management of the fen. Could you explain why managing the fen differently has not changed the fen itself and that this in fact exhibits a greater observable correlation to the facts than abstraction.Likes(0)Dislikes(0)
Filbert, I think Natural England is going through their previous positions on European Site issues and providing updated positions that are more acceptable to their clients and customers.
I believe this may be being driven by something called the High Risk Casework Panel. My understanding is that this panel decides how Natural England will comment on impacts affecting sites where the case work is assessed as high risk to Natural England's reputation and ultimately its future existence, as opposed to high risk of damage or destruction to wildlife or nature. But I'm very happy to be corrected by any NE people lurking anonymously around this blog.Likes(5)Dislikes(3)
A panel of weasels - surely not? The quote from gov. says re-survey and new ecological data. Would that be policy-based evidence they have collected? I was hoping for some new temporal evidence concerning a long tube and a dipstick.Likes(4)Dislikes(1)
Hi mark
just spent a weekend working on the main bit of Catfield Fen which is owned by Butterfly Conservation and is now managed by the staff from the adjacent RSPB Sutton fen site. With the rest of the Cambridge Conservation Volunteers we took our annual autumn pilgrimage to the fen to clear scrub from the most critical parts of this amazing wildlife-rich fen. We were discussing the abstraction problems, and the concommittant acidification of the water, the increase in sphagnum and the decrease in vital broadland fen plants and invertebrates.
The locals are still worried about the water abstraction, and I think the battle continues to drag on over the renewal of the licence, to the detriment of this site and no doubt others if the precedent is set.Likes(0)Dislikes(3)

The always-rugged Seminole District schedule got ramped up Friday night as Liberty tried to stay perfect by taking out the class of the Seminole the past two seasons, the Brookville Bees.
Liberty got out to a 2-0 start to the season for the second straight year, hoping to make it a 3-0 start against Brookville. The Minutemen won their first two games by a combined 39 points, thanks to an effective option-style offense.
As for Brookville, the visiting Bees are adjusting to a new head coach in Marshall Schmitt, and trying to fill the shoes of 28 seniors who graduated off last year's state championship team.
The Liberty Minutemen were looking to defeat Brookville for the first time since 2009 in a Seminole District match-up, whereas the Bees were looking to hand the Minutemen their first loss of the season.
After a scoreless first quarter with four turnovers, the Minutemen got on the board in the second. Austin Porter got it to Dustin Hiner, who broke free for the 54-yard touchdown run. They went for two to make it an 8-0 lead.
Liberty added to it two minutes before the half when Porter keeps it himself and stretched for the pylon for the 7-yard score. And with a big goal line stand from Liberty right before the half, the MInutemen took the momentum and a 15-0 lead into the locker room. The tide turned in the third though, thanks in a big way to Ben Hogg. He was on the receiving end of a 24-yard touchdown to make it a 15-7 ball game.
"He's one of the best receivers in the area and he can go get it. Good job on his part," Brookville head coach Marshall Schmitt said.
Just 90 seconds later, Liberty pushed the lead back to 15 with a 70-yard touchdown run from Hiner. Now 22-13 later third, Hogg intercepted Porter's pass for his second pick of the game. Then on the first play of the ensuing driver, it's Hogg again. A 28-yard touchdown catch and the Bees are back in business, down by just two points heading into the four.
"It was very crucial. We had to bring it within at least a touchdown by the 4th quarter because we know anything can happen in the 4th quarter," said Hogg, who had four touchdowns and two interceptions.
Brookville kept it rolling and took their first lead of the game when Alan Gutierrez nailed the 38-yard field goal to put the Bees up 23-22 with 8 minutes to play. Liberty kept its composure and with 3:30 to play, Devin Carper went across the goal line for the Minutemen touchdown. With the two-point conversion, they went ahead by 7. Brookville put together a late drive and with under 15 seconds to play, Neal Reynolds found Hogg for the 23-yard touchdown, making it 30-29. The Bees went for two and the win. Guess whose number they're calling? Ben Hogg hauled in the two-point conversion, and that is your ball game. Brookville with the Liberty 31-30 win.
"We've been preaching come together as a team and at halftime we made a decision that we were going to come together and we were going to get this win one way or another," Hogg said. "We didn't know how we were going to do it but we knew we were going to come together to get the win. It's not just me because we've got a hell of a line and we got a quarterback that can throw the ball on the money and it was all of us coming together. I made some catches but Phillip Watts made some runs, Andrew made some runs, Josh had some blocks. We all did this. It was not one person. This was not a one person win."
Liberty head coach Chris Watts: "We responded but there were several chances to make a play at the end of the ball game and we just didn't do it. When we needed to make a play there at the end we didn't and when they needed to make one they did and that's the bottom line."
Brookville beat Liberty for the fourth straight year, handing the Minutemen their first loss of the season.

Day 5 of Olympic water polo is in the books. The eye-opener was an 11-11 tie between Montenegro and gold-medal favorite Serbia, which can possibly turn the tide for the top spot in Group B. The U.S. beat bottom-dweller Great Britain 13-7 to remain perfect and move to the top of Group B standings with six points. Serbia is a close second with five and a plus-28 goal spread.
The toughest matches for the U.S. approach, as they face Serbia next and close group play against three-time defending champion Hungary, who beat a physical Romania squad 17-15 to earn its first win in group play.
The match between Serbia and the U.S. is expected to be a clash of styles, as Serbia dons a high-octane offense, the best in the Olympics with 46 goals scored in three matches, as well as a massive plus-18 goal differential. The U.S. has surrendered the fewest goals in their group with 22, thanks to a defense that is capable of blanking teams for an entire quarter, fueling its offense because of it.
Croatia had a convincingly strong outing to beat Italy 11-6, now sitting atop Group A standing with six points. Spain beat Australia 13-9 despite a five-goal performance by Billy Miller. Greece rose to third place in Group A with an 11-4 win over last-place Kazakhstan, raising its goal differential to plus-five.

At the time of writing on a bright spring morning, the word on the wires is that the Pope is considering coming to Ireland later this year for an upcoming Eucharistic Congress. He has been invited by the Irish hierarchy.
He is a very wise old man, and I'm sure that at the end of the day he will decide not to come. The time is not opportune at all.
How times change! The huge and emotive Eucharistic Congress of the last century was one of the most iconic events in the entire history of the new Irish nation.
It was garnished by the golden voice of Count John McCormack, it demonstrated how bonded church and state were at the time, about every citizen in the land dropped joyfully to their knees in the mighty rally in the Phoenix Park and at the other events. Old people talked about it all their lives.
Nothing came close to that Congress as a spiritually enriching and defining event until the last Pope's visit to Ireland over 30 years ago now. I covered that trip and there was no doubt but that Ireland joyously and wholeheartedly welcomed a Pontiff who radiated hope, serenity and even a genuine holiness.
He trailed a cloak of peace behind him in what were troubled political times, and warmly energized both his church and the island. Millions turned out to welcome him.
The days he spent in Ireland were very special. Everybody was wearing a smile. Statistically even the national crime rate dropped to almost zero.
But that was before the Catholic Church effectively imploded horrifically in our faces. I can recall, even as a hardened hack, being touched to the marrow by the performances of Bishop Eamon Casey and the showbiz priest, the late Father Michael Cleary, at the celebrations in Galway and Knock especially.

Vatican queried by Irish group 'Count Me Out' on laws of leaving church
Top ten reasons why some Irish have no real clue about America
Cruelly, both of them were to be shortly touched by the first of the far worse scandals that have since wracked the church to its foundations.
Few of us then knew what a pedophile was. None but the hundreds of victims knew of the horror of the widespread child abuse by pedophile priests across the land.
Even worse was the fact that we knew nothing then of the absolutely vile cover-up operations which the church leaders were operating to protect their organization's reputation.
Casey and Cleary were very petty offenders by comparison with some of the dreadful deviants whose crimes we learned about much later.
It is indicative of the new atmosphere between church and our state that Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny could know clearly there would be very widespread support nationally for his government's recent decision to close down our embassy in the
Vatican on, they said, cost grounds.
There have been few complaints about that since. Who would have thought such a decision could ever have been taken in our lifetimes by any taoiseach? And clearly with the implicit support and approval of the overwhelming majority of the people.
It has to be acknowledged that it took great political courage for a novice taoiseach and practicing Catholic to take the action he did. But he acted against a background of an under-estimated backlash against the church which dominated political action in this Republic for so long and so powerfully.
He acted against a backdrop of sharply falling church attendance, of continuing evidence of scandals, especially relating to child abuse in the past, and the clinching evidence of clerical vocations, once a torrent, now slowing down to a trickle.
Already there is a shortage of working priests in a country which was for so long capable of sending regiments of young missionaries all across the world.

Amendment 23 announces that the MOST U.S. Guest Observer Program will not be solicited in ROSES-10. This step is taken out of necessity to accommodate pressures on the Astrophysics Division's budget and reflects a strategy to apply constrained resources efficiently towards the highest priorities of the 2010 Decadal Survey of Astronomy and Astrophysics and the Astrophysics Division.
The MOST U.S. Guest Observer Program was designed to support the acquisition and analysis of new scientific data from the MOST (Microvariability and Oscillations of STars) observatory through a partnership between NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The MOST mission is designed to conduct photometric studies with high precision sufficient to perform stellar asteroseismology studies and other variability analyses of stars and exoplanet systems.

Komick, NM, Costa, MPF, Gower, J (2009). Bio-optical algorithm evaluation for MODIS for western Canada coastal waters: An exploratory approach using in situ reflectance. REMOTE SENSING OF ENVIRONMENT, 113(4), 794-804.
AbstractBiophysical and above-water reflectance measurements collected in 2006 were used to evaluate the OC3M, standard GSM01, and a modified version of the GSM01 algorithms for estimating chlorophyll-a (chl) concentrations in the Strait of Georgia, located off the southwest coast of Canada. The Strait was generally a case 2 water body, transitioning from chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) dominant in the central region to possibly particulate dominant in Fraser River plume regions. Results showed that the OC3M algorithm was somewhat effective (R-2=0.550) outside the most turbid areas of the Fraser River plume. However, a systematic overestimation of lower chl concentrations was found, which may have been related to the higher CDOM absorption observed throughout the Strait. The standard GSM01 algorithm had moderately good agreement with measured CDOM absorption (R-2=0.593) and total suspended solids (TSS) concentrations (R-2=0.888), but was ineffective at estimating chl concentrations. Localized characterization of the CDOM absorption, through a hyperbolic CDOM model, improved the modified GSM01 results with slightly better agreement with measure CDOM absorption (R-2=0.614) and TSS concentrations (R-2=0.933). When the modified GSM01 algorithm was limited to regions with lower combined CDOM and non-algal particulate absorption (a(dg) (443)< 0.7 m(-1)), it was more effective then the OC3M algorithm at estimating chl concentrations. This suggests that a threshold value on the a(dg) (443) or b(bp) (443) estimated by the GSM01 algorithm may be beneficial for limiting turbidity influence on the algorithm. The further reinterpretation of phytoplankton absorption from the modified GSM01 algorithm with a two-component phytoplankton model resulted in a chl relationship with an R-2=0.677 and a linear slope closer to one.

I have discovered that this world is harsh, cruel and nasty enough without writing off entire classes of individuals on the basis of their colour or national origin. There are enough people in the world who can be judged on the basis of their actions that we don't need to judge others merely on the basis of their colour or nationality.

I'm obsessed with…. this Zac Efron eye candy
Click "more" to read the article. You can also enjoy it at GQ.com.
THERE ARE BOBCATS AROUND. SIXTY-EIGHT-POUND BOBCATS. Or that's what the sign taped to the gate at the head of the trail says, anyway. And some amateur naturalist has written a note on the sign, pointing out that sixty-eight pounds is "more than double the previous world record of 28 pounds." Another sign, a little to the left, pleads for the safe return of a missing black poodle. Zac Efron pauses, scans all this, says, "Yeah—that dog's dead."
There are bobcats around, but Efron is not afraid of them. He unlocks the gate and we start walking up the trail, into the foothills of the Santa Monicas. He lives somewhere around here, in the circa-1947 Case Study house that his singing/dancing/basketball-dribbling appearances in three zestfully clean High School Musical movies—and on countless officially licensed lunchboxes and toe socks and flip-flops and I ♥ TROY messenger bags—bought. It's built ten feet off the ground, hidden in the trees, so every morning, when his iPhone alarm wakes him up with a randomly selected song—today it was the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Hypnotize," the one with the Biggie, Biggie, Biggie, can't you see? chorus—and before he does anything else, before he takes a piss even, he can walk out onto his terrace and greet the sun, the way he likes to, without it showing up all over goddamn TMZ. It's also close to this trail we're on now, where Efron takes his exercise these days. He used to go to Runyon Canyon, but the last time he went up there a gentleman in Gucci loafers and head-to-toe camo gear oh-so-subtly took his picture a few hundred times.
It's one of those L.A. days that feel like an ostentatious gift. A breeze blows clouds across a chroma-key blue sky; it's so quiet you can hear loose sediment trickling down the canyon wall. Efron's in a blue T-shirt, muscle-ropy arms exposed to the sun, hair crammed under a gray stocking cap. We take the hill, he talks about his twenty-first birthday—he expected his friends to get him booze; they mostly bought him books—and the way Darren Aronofsky's camera trails the wheezing side of beef that is Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler.We talk about Sean Penn, whom Efron met a couple of awards seasons ago.
"He was, uh, not in top form," Efron says. "Or maybe he was in top form. He was in rareform. Anyway—he told me to go skydiving. That's all. Just—'Go skydiving.' "
He kinda can't believe he gets to meet these people. He went to the Oscars last week with Vanessa Hudgens, who was his love interest in High School Musical and remains his girlfriend in real life, although he will never utter her name in our presence, and when he wasn't onstage—and he rarely wasn't, because the Academy, desperate to inject the show with youthiness, kept shoving him back out there to sing or dance or present something—he didn't know which incredible famous person to embarrass himself in front of first. It's Robert De Niro! It's Sean Penn, drunk as a slab of tiramisu, dispensing gnomic Sean Penn wisdom!
Before long we're at the top of the trail, all of L.A. laid out before us like God's own craft-service spread. Efron pushes his long Japanimation-character bangs under his cap, out of eyes as blue as the shallow end, points out Melrose Avenue, the modernist pancake stack of the Capitol Records Tower, the Cinerama Dome sitting there like a golf ball whacked hard into Sunset. Yesterday it rained and washed the crud out of the sky, and today the view is high-def. You can see all the way to the ocean. We sit on bare terra-cotta-colored dirt, contemplating.
"It's crazy, all the stuff that happens down there," Efron says. "It's the American dream. I mean, it's beautiful. But it's so fucked-up. Up here, everything's green. And down there, it's crazy."
Efron comes here a lot. "You can forget where you are for a minute," he says. "And theyhaven't figured out that I come here yet."
By "they," you mean—
"Photographers. Yeah."
How's that going for you?
"Pretty well, actually," he says, kicking a white-Conversed toe in the dirt. "I've kinda got it figured out. I just pull in to the lot at"—he says the name of a movie studio, then asks me not to print which one it is—"and they can't follow me. The first time I did it, they weren't going to let me in. The guy at the gate was like, 'What are you gonna do for me?' I said, 'What do you want me to do?' He's like, 'I got kids.' And I was like, 'Well, I got a poster in the trunk!' It's smart to keep some swag in the trunk, just in case."
Do you keep a lot of High School Musical stuff around?
Efron laughs. "In the house? Oh, hell no," he says. "It's in the garage. And then a lot of it's at my parents'."
You'll probably want the Troy doll someday, we say, or the board game. When you're 60. You could open a place up, like Burt Reynolds's museum, where they've got the Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit.
"Paul Newman had one of those," Efron says. "He had a barn where he kept all that stuff, and that's where he'd hold his meetings. I can't imagine how intimidating that would be to have a meeting there."
He's been getting into Newman's films lately, he says. Him and Steve McQueen. When-men-were-men kind of actors, and guys who never seemed to put a foot wrong, careerwise, despite not appearing to give that much of a shit about anything but the work.
When Efron talks about these guys, or when he talks about meeting De Niro and how all the "dedication and hard work" De Niro had put into all those great roles was written in the lines of De Niro's face, or when he talks about how the movies of the '70s were better because they didn't test-market everything, you get the feeling he just wants to say the right thing. That he wants to make sure we know he knows that everything he's done up until now—the basic-cable ratings record set by the second High School Musical TV movie, his decision to take a smallish role in Hairspray that winked charmingly at his own decidedly retro teen-idol persona, even his leap into the world of PG-13 movies with the winningly goofy old-dude-becomes-young-dude comedy 17 Again—means exactly jack, cinematically. That at least for now, he does not yet have the kind of history a man can hang in a barn.
You get the feeling he knows he should be saying this, to the men's magazine. That he knows a career built almost exclusively on the squealing ardor of preteen girls, on choreographed dance numbers set to expository pop tuneage so perkily inoffensive it makes early 'NSync sound like Howlin' Wolf, is something a man has to live down before you can, y'know, call him a man. He seems like he wants to pass a test. And yet he's not wrong. Cool Hand Luke is awesome! Compared to the movies of the '70s, the movies of today look like cheap, mercury-contaminated Chinese toys! And Steve McQueen and Paul Newman? They were awesome!
"I mean—they lived here," Efron says, gesturing out at the city, clearly meaning not Hollywood the place but Hollywood, the state of being. "They made it through all this."
Plus—look at this view. Nice pigeonhole, if you can get it.
BACK DOWN THE HILL. Efron's talking about 17 Again. "It's very transitional, y'know? I didn't wanna alienate the fans that had been around for so long," he says. Then he adds, self-mockingly: "The fans, who've been around for so many years."
Efron's Audi is a kiln. He starts the car and Spoon's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga picks up midsong. The words look! safe to move? blink on the video screen in the dash. It's like a little koan for the cautious celebrity. An empty bottle of something called 5-Hour Energy ("hours of energy now…no crash later") rattles in the console coin holder; in the compartment between the front seats, there's an extra stocking cap—this one's black and white—in case Efron leaves the house without one. We're going to go get some coffee, maybe a sandwich.
Down through the steep street maze of Laurel Canyon. Efron squeezes the Audi past a yoga-holically thin woman leaning into the window of a parked car. He checks her out. We clock him checking her out. He (maybe) clocks us clocking him checking her out, exhales a verdict—"Tooooooooo skinny"—and turns his attention back to the road. He plays tour guide. Here's where he almost hit Kathy Griffin with his car. Here's where one of those oversize-load house trailers came out of nowhere. He scraped a stone wall, fucked up his rim. Oh, and that house, right there? "That's where fuckin' Britney Spears stays," Efron says. "You can't drive by there because of all the paparazzi."
(There appears to be no paparazzi there today. Maybe he's making fun of her.)
In 17 Again, Efron plays Mike, a high school basketball star who blows the big game and winds up thirtysomething, dejected, headed for a divorce. Then the universe intervenes, in the form of Brian Doyle-Murray as a magical janitor; Efron becomes a teenager again, goes undercover at his old high school, meddles productively with his high-school-age kids' messed-up lives, and tries to save his marriage.
In a way, it's a strange choice—Efron is trying to prove that he's ready for more adult roles by playing a grown man trapped in a 17-year-old's body. But it's also a smart choice—a family-friendly comedy that doesn't skew straight tween, an ensemble vehicle he can drive but doesn't have to carry. The great Leslie Mann, of Judd Apatow's crew, plays his wife. The great Matthew Perry gives a performance as Efron's droopy-dawg adult self that is best described as good-sportsmanly, when you consider that the part requires him to embody a younger, handsomer actor's total failure at the game of life. And yeah, it's notCool Hand Luke. It's heartfelt, it's pretty funny, it's a step on the path to something else.
And Efron gets this. "A guy I worked with recently told me, 'You have to earn the right to hold a gun.' And that completely made sense. Can you imagine me running around with a gun in a film? I noticed the second I started that the things you want to be involved with are always just out of reach. Most parts you'd want, people won't really consider you for, because you have to earn that respect. The things people do want you for are usually not things you want to do. At one point, somebody said to me, 'What do you wanna do? A cool crime drama? Do you wanna shoot up heroin? We'll do anything you wanna do…the Musical."
Efron says he's never taken an acting job to get paid. That there are no commercials for frozen minibagels on his reel. And when music-business people came to him after the second High School Musical broke all those records, when they offered him the chance to do an album, he declined. It just seemed like a teen-idol thing to do.
"It's such a fine line," he says, "between being famous for who you are personally and for your films. And I've been on the wrong side of it my whole career."
He was worried about 17 Again. He worried about it becoming nothing but a dumb teen comedy slapped together to showcase his charms. It wasn't until he met with director Burr Steers that he felt like it could be something more. Steers—best known for the Salingerian coming-of-age dramedy Igby Goes Down—didn't talk about him taking his shirt off in the movie. Steers talked about story, about character, how it could be a real film. Steers got the job.
Then, on the set, Efron says, "he messed with my head a little bit. There were scenes where I had to be pissed off, so he'd be a total asshole all morning, to make me a little bit on edge. I had no idea what he was doing until after the movie was over. I just thought he was a huge asshole. But it turns out he's incredibly smart. He doesn't just give you what you want to hear and tell you that you're doing a great job. It's a different kind of love and support."
Efron still talks his career decisions over with his parents. They met at a nuclear-power plant near Arroyo Grande, a few hours north of Los Angeles. Efron's father was an engineer. His mother was a receptionist. His dad was analytical, logical, deeply left-brained—Efron says he's still the smartest guy he knows. His mom was spiritual, passionate. "She was at Woodstock," Efron says. "She lived an exciting life. She still hasn't divulged all the details." Neither of them had any showbiz in their background. But when he started auditioning professionally—after doing tons of "bad community theater" and catching the eye of an agent—they supported everything, drove him back and forth to L.A., even though he didn't book much real work. As long as he kept his grades up, Efron says, "they could have cared less how many auditions I tanked.
"They're both pessimists," Efron says. "They'll give it to you real. They don't blow you up with excess confidence. I didn't grow up thinking I was the greatest kid in the world. And they completely believed that there was a one-in-a-billion chance I would ever be successful. And that was ingrained in the back of my head: I will fail. I'm going to fail. They managed my expectations. I was always prepared to fail. So it was kind of confusing when things started to work out."
You didn't have a plan for that.
"No," Efron says. "That was the one thing I wasn't prepared for. This wasn't supposed to work, y'know? There's 150 guys that are just like me, except more talented, and they probably deserve to be out here. It's a fluke."
But if you were so sure it wasn't going to happen, why did you keep doing it?
"If I knew I was going to fail?" Efron says. "Because it was fun? I don't know. That's a good question."
He thinks about it for a second. (We're out of the car now, drinking coffee at a patio table in front of a little country store/deli in Laurel Canyon, a stone's throw from the restaurant where Efron had his last birthday party.)
"I never half-ass anything. And every time I do, it always comes back to haunt me. Whatever I'm focused on is what I will succeed at. When I was in school, I told myself I'd get good grades, and I got great grades. And when I started doing this—you learn. You can't help but recognize what the people that are better than you do. Every film is a challenge. You have to acquire new skills. You have to put your ass out there. And that's what I wanna do next."
You can tell this is what got him here, what drove him through the endless basketball drills and dance rehearsals High School Musical required—this sense that the work was a challenge and that the challenge was necessary. Sure, he's cute as a damn button—but he's pushed himself this far with the iron will of a mathlete bent on crushing his crosstown rivals. Whether this is going to be enough to get him into better films—as opposed to just bigger ones, which will undoubtedly come—remains to be seen. Better films demand certain intangibles, stuff an actor can't necessarily pull out of himself by buckling down and studying hard. He could smack the ceiling of his talent and that'll be that. But it won't be for lack of drive.
In the second High School Musical—the one where, through various creakily miraculous plot contrivances, all the leads from the first movie end up with summer jobs at the same country club—there's a scene where Efron, as high school basketball star and musical-theater prodigy Troy Bolton, sings and dances alone on a well-groomed golf course the color of lime Jell-O. The song is called "Bet on It"; it's the moment in the film when Troy realizes he's lost the trust of his friends and has to stand up to the country club's big jerk of a manager and force him to let the guys from the basketball team perform in the country club's annual talent show. But first he has to dance. He has to dance angrily. And the number that follows is easily the greatest Angry Dancing moment in recent film history. Efron clutches his head in frustration, falls on his knees as if cursing capricious gods, hits a golf ball right into a water trap. The scene serves almost exactly the same narrative purpose as Kevin Bacon's legendary warehouse dance scene in Footloose, the previous high-dudgeon mark for cinematic Angry Dancing; you can see why there was a Footlooseremake in development for a while as a vehicle for Efron, with High School Musicaldirector Kenny Ortega attached. (Efron has decided not to do the film.) But when we talk to Efron about his work ethic, what we realize is that "Bet on It" may be the closest the junk written for him to sing in these movies has come to expressing something that's really there inside him—namely, steel. I'm not gonna stop, he sings. That's who I am. I'll give it all I got. That is my plan.
And that is his plan, y'know?
Efron isn't embarrassed about High School Musical, by the way. He says if he had it all to do over again, he'd do another one for free. He does get embarrassed, though, when he starts explaining what it was like when acting finally did get in the way of his schoolwork, when he found himself torn between his ambitions as a performer and the life of a normal high school kid. "I was really fucking confused," he says. "This is so stupid, but it was kinda like…"
Say it!
"It was kinda like High School Musical."
He had this other life, where he'd go and do plays, which meant being around adults, people who seemed to have their shit together, people who were making a living being creative, and this made him able to not care when people—even his friends!—made fun of him about doing community-theater productions that involved singing and dancing in front of senior citizens.
And the weird thing is that this, basically, ironically, is the plot of the movie that made Efron who he is today. High School Musical is about a young man struggling to choose between high school sports and the temptation of musical theater, and finding the courage to do something his buddies think is totally gay, except it's a Disney movie and therefore it takes place in a universe where being gay does not exist, so Troy's buddies just say things like "You ever think LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal auditioned for their school musical?"
"It was the worst possible thing you could do in high school," Efron agrees. "Kids who are in musical theater tend to be self-confident in a quirky kind of way, and when kids who are really self-conscious see somebody doing that kind of thing, they try to bring them down. I used to do random things, man. When I was a kid? I dyed my hair silver, to look like SisQó in the "Thong Song" video. I just didn't give a fuck. I didn't care."
Somehow this reminds us: What's up with this story about you wearing false eyelashes? Is that for real?
Efron groans.
"If somebody can find any photo that shows me wearing false eyelashes," he says, "I will give them a fucking million dollars. That's bullshit."
"You know what, dude? A couple of times, when I was young, and I didn't know what the fuck I was doing—it's just what happens. Somebody's there, and it's their job. And they load you up with makeup. They don't do the girlie thing, but they, y'know, cover your zits. It didn't come from a self-conscious place—it was just what everyone did. And since then, people just constantly think I'm wearing makeup. It's a recurring theme. But fuck, man. I have never worn false eyelashes in my entire life."
He blinks a couple of times. Bat, bat—"That's all me."
What about, y'know, guyliner?
"No. Fuck, man," he says. "No."
Other things that aren't true: He isn't fighting with Justin Timberlake and Twilight's Robert Pattinson over the lead in Ohio, a movie about the Kent State killings. He's never even seen a script for that. He says he doesn't want to say what his next movie (after 17 Againand Richard Linklater's forthcoming indie Me and Orson Welles) is going to be. He says he doesn't know, which means he either doesn't know or doesn't want to say. We ask if it's the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean, as has been reported, or a big-screen version of the '60s cartoon Jonny Quest, and he is vague and nice about telling us he can't tell us. "I'm truly ready right now. I can't wait, dude. I'm going to do something—something cool. Something people aren't necessarily expecting."
The lady who runs the coffee cart brings a blond, very poised preteen girl in a white dress across the patio for an autograph.
"You are beautiful," Efron says to the girl. "What's your name?"
"Olivia," says Olivia.
"Nice to meet you," Efron says.
"Nice to meet you," Olivia says. "I'm doing High School Musical 2 in school."
(She's playing Sharpay, Ashley Tisdale's mean-girl diva character. It's one of the better parts in the second movie—she gets to sing about her Jimmy Choo flip-flops and mistreat people while Hudgens, as Gabriella, is stuck with drippy ballads and lines like "Promise is a big word.")
"My best friend," she says, "is playing Troy."
"Oh yeah?" Efron says. "Is he a good-looking guy?"
"It's actually a girl," Olivia says.
THE AFTERNOON SUN'S like a heat-beam from space; Efron's all the way at the end of the picnic table, scrunched into what's left of the shade. We're talking about Leonardo DiCaprio. They sat next to each other at a Lakers game not long ago. Floor seats. DiCaprio talked with his hand over his mouth, like a wiseguy trying to foil FBI lip-readers; Efron took his lead, covered his own mouth. They set up a lunch. He doesn't want to get specific about how the lunch went, but when we ask if he got tips from DiCaprio about flipping his teen-idol stock, Efron says no, not really.
"I thought I was gonna ask him questions," Efron says. "He ended up asking me questions, and in that, he told me a lot. He said, 'There's one way that you can really fuck this all up. Just do heroin. If you steer clear of that—the other obstacles you'll be able to navigate.' And that makes sense, dude."
Efron's not doing heroin. He cops to having enjoyed the rights afforded a 21-year-old on his birthday. He drinks in private, with friends. "Behind closed doors," he says, in a way that seems to close a door conversationally. He has not rounded up a Pussy Posse. You get the sense that he has calculated the potential fun quotient of these activities, weighed that against his long-term goals. Or that the undoubtedly kick-ass, CIA-assassin-school-grade media training he received at an impressionable age is still working.
"I wasn't programmed by Disney," Efron says. "It's common sense. If you're gonna be drunk with your friends, don't get wasted at the Chateau Marmont and hook up with some famous chick. It's not rocket science.
"I don't want to be famous for my personality. If anything, I keep that under wraps."
All this makes good sense. But by refusing to be out there in the mix, participating in the thermodynamics of Hollywood social life, Efron's placing a giant bet on his ability to stay relevant post–High School based on hard work and talent alone. He grew up in a Disney force-field bubble surrounded by shrieking girls; now it's like he's replaced that bubble with one of his own making. It protects him from dirt; it may also be protecting him from grit. He might have a better shot at some of those Penn-like roles if he were willing to let the world see a side of him that hasn't been carefully managed.
A couple of months ago, there were these pictures on the Internet of Hudgens and Efron posing with a fan in what appeared to be the adults-only section of a novelty store. Inflatable farm animals, Penis Pasta—the kind of naughty, bachelorette-party-gift items no one's ever put to serious use in the bedroom. This was covered on blogs as an embarrassing gaffe on Efron and Hudgens's part. The Disney couple saying cheese in the marital-aids aisle—they might as well have been Mickey and Minnie caught shopping for cock rings. But we venture a theory that this might actually have been good for his image—that it was the kind of fuckup that makes famous people seem less like robots and more like human beings. Human beings who have sex. Efron sort of grumbles noncommittally.
"That's a Halloween store," he says, by way of explanation. "You know those stores that pop up during Halloween? But there's always an adult section. And somehow there was a brilliant lapse in judgment, and I decided to take a photo with a fan, in front of a giant dildo or something.
"I don't know," he says. "Your parents see that stuff, y'know? My mom was like, 'Zac, what are you doing in a sex shop?' And I was like, 'Mom, it's not a sex shop.' My dad called me, and he's like, 'Y'know, Zac, just from now on'—it was literally straight out of American Pie—'if you're shopping for sex toys, don't take pictures with fans inside the store.' I'm like, 'Really, Dad? I'll take that into consideration next time I'm stocking up.' And then my friend is like, 'Next time why don't you take a picture holding a giant dildo? Really give 'em something to talk about.' "
Well played—he doesn't mention Hudgens, even though she's there in the pictures next to the Luv Ewes, too. Just as carefully, we ask about their status. You went to your manager's wedding in Kauai, we say. Everybody thought you were getting married.
"That was such bullshit," he says. "I'm definitely not getting married. In this business, you're either getting married or they want you to be pregnant. I'm not getting married until I'm 40. If ever. The thought never crossed my mind."
And then, after a few seconds in which he maybe calculates how this is going to sound to the girlfriend he doesn't talk about having, he says:
"Maybe not 40. Maybe not until I'm 30."

I'm not being nasty or anything but Zac could do so much betetr then Vanessa I don't really like her being honestsorry to all the people who like her I'm just speaking my mind and also that's what I think :)

You're not dreaming, this is indeed the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Lucid by LG, and we are definitely taking a peek at its lovely user interface created by LG for the 2012 Spring season. Here in the first half of 2012, LG is providing us with a set of controls on this device (which is available now at Verizon, mind you) which allow control over your homescreens, separations between your apps in your app drawer, and a few bonuses - like the most obviously amazing widget ever created for Android. Let's have another look here at this top end of mid-range Android LG smartphone.
For those of you looking for a full review of the LG Lucid, aka Lucid by LG, you can take a peek at the post entitled Lucid by LG Review. Those of you who've already seen the review we've got of this device, do carry on - have another look here below! LG has over the past few years been changing the way they address LG little by little. The current iteration is made for what appears to be the office business professional due to its ability to set you up with several interface profiles, each of them with different home screens that contain different apps and widgets.
With these several faces for your Android experience, you'll have total control over what you're seeing at any given part of your day. You can even set timers on these different looks at your device based on when you switch from home to work or from school to play. Then there's the apps drawer: LG takes the divide and conquer approach to the always daunting apps drawer that's plagued the lover of massive amounts of Android apps for years. They've got separaters between categories as well as downloads, each of them expandable or collapsable on command.
Then there's the widget - you'll see it right away when you watch the hands-on video. It's a phone dialer that sits on your home screen. Finally you can do away with the pesky tapping of the icon in your apps tray and just swipe over to the screen that gives you the same abilities as the built-in app! Now if only Google would integrate a widget like this for all Androids - maybe someday!
You can now pick up the Lucid by LG at Verizon Wireless $79.99 on a 2-year contract if you buy it online - a deal!

A Little Owl
Category: Nature
Photo and caption by hedda ibarra
One morning I was walking and searching for something to take a good photograph and I was very fortunate when I found a little owl. There it was all alone, far away from it's nest but near to my lens, then I was astonished because of it's large and gold piercing eyes that were observing me all the time. It was the most gorgeous little owl that I have ever seen.

Heart Disease Health Center
Treatment for Heart Attacks Can Begin in the Ambulance
May 23, 2000 -- Researchers in Canada say that more patients who suffer heart attacks should receive a life-saving treatment with clot-busting drugs before they even reach the hospital, especially if they live far from the facility.
Furthermore, they say, too many heart-attack victims delay getting any kind of care because they don't realize they are having an attack.
The researchers, whose article on the topic was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, reviewed studies that looked at the survival of people who got the therapy -- called thrombolysis -- before reaching the hospital, in such places as an ambulance or mobile intensive-care unit, compared to those who got it at the hospital. Thrombolysis medications include tPA, which is also commonly given as soon as possible after people have had a stroke.
Led by Laurie J. Morrison, MD, director of research in the division of prehospital care at Sunnybrook and Women's Health Sciences Centre in Ontario, the researchers found that those who got the medication before hospitalization lived about 200 days longer than those who got it after arriving. They say this was especially important for patients who had to travel more than an hour to reach a hospital.
"My ultimate goal is to encourage people to think about this in a rational way," Morrison tells WebMD. Prehospital treatment can reduce deaths, she says, "and the impact where it will be felt is where the transfer is long, in rural communities"
Morrison says that health care providers in rural or remote communities should be able to perform this early treatment, given adequate training. "Prehospital thrombolysis is very expensive," she says. "There is a lot of time and training and education that is needed to maintain thrombolysis in the field."
She is conducting further studies to determine the value of early treatment with clot-busting drugs in an urban setting. The transit time to her own facility in Ontario, for example, averages around 20 minutes.
But another cardiologist tells WebMD that it would be impractical to set up systems to administer this treatment outside the hospital. "I think it is highly likely that outpatient therapy does confer some additional benefit," says David L. Pearle, MD, a professor in the department of medicine and director of the coronary care unit at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C. But, he says, the actual benefit is relatively small, as shown in these studies.
