Van der Woerd, HJ, Pasterkamp, R (2008). HYDROPT: A fast and flexible method to retrieve chlorophyll-a from multispectral satellite observations of optically complex coastal waters. REMOTE SENSING OF ENVIRONMENT, 112(4), 1795-1807.
AbstractWe present a generic innovative algorithm for remote sensing of coastal waters that can deal with a large range of concentrations of chlorophyll-a, SPM and CDOM and their inherent optical properties. The algorithm is based on the exact solutions of the HYDROLIGHT numerical radiative transfer model to support retrieval in optically complex waters with varying sensor wide swath viewing geometry. The algorithm estimates the concentrations by minimizing the difference between observed and modeled reflectance spectra. The use of a look-up table and polynomial interpolation greatly reduces computation time, allowing operational and near-real time processing of large sets of satellite imagery. Because the remote sensing reflectance was tabulated as a function of in-water light absorption and scattering, rather than actual constituents concentrations, the algorithm can be applied with any definition of the specific inherent optical properties of CHL, SPM and CDOM. A statistical measure for the goodness-of-fit and the formal standard errors in the fitted concentrations are provided, thus producing error maps with each thematic chlorophyll image, often lacking in most applications of innovative algorithms. The performance of the algorithm is demonstrated for multispectral observations of the North Sea, a shallow coastal sea with large concentration gradients in SPM (due to resuspension) and CDOM (from riverine influx). The standard errors of estimated chlorophyll-a concentrations ranged between 0.5 and 3 (mg to 3) for mean concentrations between 2 and 20 (mg m(-3)), quite acceptable results for these optically complex waters.

Like many families of the recently deceased, Burda and his loved ones wanted to donate Rohn's skin, tissue and organs to someone who needed them. But they were not allowed to do that because of a long-standing FDA ban on such donations from any man who has had sex with a man.

Chelsea Thomas' three-peat
Tiger pitcher earns third career 1st-team All-American honor
Add another amazing accolade to the collegiate resume of Chelsea Thomas.
Wednesday, the National Fastpitch Coaches Association named Thomas a First Team All-American. It is the third time in her career she has earned the honor.
The winningest pitcher in Mizzou history (111-31), Thomas was 24-6 in 2013 with a 1.16 ERA, which was sixth best in the nation.
She struck out 232 batters in 198.1 innings of work, a strikeout total that stands ninth in school history even after a season marred by numerous weather-related game cancellations. Thomas' efforts from 2011 (397 strikeouts) and 2012 (306 strikeouts) rank as the top two single-season marks.
Thomas was recognized as the Southeastern Conference Pitcher of the Year this season, adding to her two Big 12 Pitcher of the Year honors in 2011 and 2012.
Not only is Thomas a fantastic hurler, but she was also put on the All-SEC Defensive Team.
Thomas earned five SEC Pitcher of the Week awards in 2013, becoming just the second player in SEC history to win five weekly pitcher awards in a single season (Monica Abbott, Tennessee, 2005).
Thomas' recognition is the 10th All-America selection in seventh-year head coach Ehren Earleywine's tenure.

Bam Margera Posts A Photo Of Him Holding A Gun To His Puppy's Head, Then Apologizes
It was a fake gun, but the message could not have been worse. He also posted more photos with him holding the gun against human heads, which is also not funny. Now he has apologized for the whole thing.
1. Here are the series of photos he posted to Twitter a few days ago:
13. And the public apology that was stated during an interview at his home:
In Chester County (Pennsylvania), which has seen a number of cases of horrific animal abuse recently, SPCA spokesman Rich Britton called the picture "not funny" and said that, even for a shock comedian, Margera "missed the mark on this one."
In an interview Monday at his Chester County compound - home also to his six cats - Margera said that had he known about the incidents of torture, he never would have posted the photo.
"I think those people need to go down," he said of the abusers. "Just hurting another animal is rude, crude, and more."
Margera said that he doesn't even own a gun, and that the only time he ever fired one was at a clay pigeon at a sporting event.
Still, he said, sometimes a joke is just a joke.
"I feel like every follower I have on Twitter" - more than 800,000 - "knows my Jackass joking kind of humor," he said.
- Actor Gene Wilder, who starred in classics like "Willy Wonka" and "Blazing Saddles," has died at 83.
- California lawmakers have passed a bill that would require prison time for those convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious victim.
- Apple will unveil the newest iPhones on September 7. Expect a new dual-camera system and NO headphone jack 📱

On Monday, President Sarkozy of France sent two Islamic extremists back to countries where they could have expected anything but a warm welcome.
The European Court of Human Rights, of which France, like us, is a member, was given no opportunity to voice its feelings on the matter.
Almamy Baradji was expelled back to Mali for preaching anti-Semitism and calling on women to wear the full veil — something that is now illegal in France.
Ali Belhadad, meanwhile — convicted of taking part in a terrorist attack in 1994 in Marrakesh that killed 14 people — was flown to his native Algiers after police discovered he had resumed contact with Islamic activists.
Compare this resolute action with the farce in Britain over the attempted deportation to Jordan of hate preacher Abu Qatada, which ended with him and his family recently being accommodated in a bigger, more expensive and more comfortable house than they were before.
Because Jordan has yet to promise not to do beastly things to Qatada if he is sent there, he must continue to live at the expense of the British taxpayer.
This may not be our last such humiliation. We await word from the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg as to whether we can rid ourselves of the equally loathsome Abu Hamza, wanted by the Americans to stand trial on terrorism charges.
Contrast that craven approach with France's express deportations this week. Already promising at least three more, President Sarkozy said: 'Those who make remarks contrary to the values of the Republic will be put outside the French Republic. There will be no exceptions.'
For all his faults — and for all France's — he and his country have a definite sense of themselves and their national identity. They are proud of their heritage and their culture.
When you think of the impossibility of David Cameron, or his puppet- master Nick Clegg, saying anything similar about British identity and values, you start to understand why Qatada and Hamza were not on a plane out years ago.
t is important, of course, to understand the context of recent events in France. In just 17 days' time — on April 22 — Sarkozy faces the first round of a presidential election. Until about three weeks ago, it was not looking remotely good for him.
His socialist challenger, Francois Hollande — who might pass as a rural bank manager — was far ahead of him in the polls.
Mr Sarkozy was doing so badly that he was in real danger of being beaten into third place by Marine Le Pen, who has done much to clean up the Front National that under her father was itself a repository of racism, anti-Semitism and various other bigotries.
Then came the shocking events of Toulouse, where an Islamic extremist proclaiming himself as an al-Qaeda operative murdered a rabbi and three Jewish children in cold blood. France, not always known for its sympathy for the Jews, was convulsed in outrage.
Mr Sarkozy — who himself has a part-Jewish heritage — articulated that outrage brilliantly. Putting aside any notions that it might be in bad taste to exploit such a horror for political gain, he proceeded to do exactly that.
If he wanted to keep his head above water politically, he had little choice.
His strategy worked. He climbed in the polls to put himself neck-and-neck with Mr Hollande and, in one poll, even sneaked just ahead of him. All in all, the public thought his response to the Toulouse outrage was just right.
The President did not stop there. He directed massive police resources to catching the terrorist, and having quickly succeeded in doing so, he promised further strictures against those do not share the values of the French Fifth Republic. A number of suspects were rounded up, and he proceeded with this week's deportations.
So Mr Sarkozy has demonstrated just how easy it is for a politician of the Right to improve an apparently catastrophic position by taking the sort of firm action on security matters that is supposedly second nature to conservatives.
Just as importantly, he has shown there is no compulsion to act as the poodle of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
He may yet lose the second round of voting on May 6 — current polling on a straight fight between him and Mr Hollande shows the socialist winning by 54 per cent to 46 per cent at least — but by identifying himself with the nationalistic instincts of the French people, he has put himself back into the contest.
Why on earth does our own Prime Minister not understand the need to stand up for comparable instincts among electors — many of them his natural supporters — on this side of the Channel?
If Mr Sarkozy can treat the ECHR with contempt to improve his standing with his voters, why can't Mr Cameron?
In the wake of the battering the Tories have faced over child benefit, the granny tax, the pasty tax, and jibes about 'government by chums', wouldn't it at least show he shares the values of his voters to order the immediate deportation of two extremists who hate Britain as much as they exploit it? And wouldn't it actually be the right thing to do?
When Qatada was released from prison and allowed to remain in Britain, the word in Westminster was that Mr Cameron would happily have marched him onto the next plane to Amman — but Nick Clegg had said he would not tolerate such disregard for the ECHR. It is all too credible.
Mr Cameron might also benefit from a study of Sarkozy's recent threat during a campaign rally to take France out of the Schengen Agreement, which allows free movement across EU borders, unless the number of illegal immigrants was reduced.
It was a bold political gambit, and one which struck at one of the central pillars of European integration.
Though Britain is not a signatory to Schengen, preferring — in theory at least — to take control of its own borders, it is hard to imagine Mr Cameron making a threat of equivalent gravity.
Until now, he seems to have been able to do little to address the continuing problem of mass immigration, which his Coalition partners, the Liberal Democrats, seem positively to encourage.
Last week, the independent Office of National Statistics published revised projections which showed that the United Kingdom population is expected to grow from 62.3 million in mid-2010 to 67.2 million by mid-2020. By 2034, the number of people living here will be up to 73.2 million, a rise of nearly 11 million over 25 years.
Already, Britain is one of the most densely populated nations in the Western world, yet by all accounts the pace of growth is only going to accelerate.
But the Prime Minister is desperate to avoid offending Mr Clegg, the old maids of the Civil Service, or the ECHR, even if it, for example, means harbouring dangerous terrorists in our midst.
He finds it acceptable, though, to affront his core vote, and millions of Christians, by suggesting that homosexuals should be allowed to marry.
It comes down to a question of will. Will is a quality people like in their political leaders. Causing others to doubt that he has much will at all won't do Mr Cameron any favours when he seeks re-election.
But it also comes back to the question of cultural identity. Perhaps it is because of outsider Mr Sarkozy's Hungarian-Jewish heritage that he looks for what General de Gaulle called 'a certain idea of France', embraces it, celebrates it and protects it.
It may be the cynical act of a politician desperate for votes, but it works.
If only Mr Cameron could bring himself to embrace and celebrate a clear British identity, and the historically-based values that stem from it, he, too, might do what is required to stand up for that country, and those values.

Submitted to: Seasonally Frozen Soils Symposium
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: June 12, 1997
Publication Date: N/A
Technical Abstract: Seasonally frozen soils occur over a large portion of the northern hemisphere and include some of the most productive and also the most fragile soils in the world. Research reported from twelve countries at the International Symposium on Physics, Chemistry, and Ecology of Seasonally Frozen Soils covered a wide range of topics and represented many disciplines. While our knowledge of frozen soils is vast, much remains to be learned. Future frozen soils research needs include: 1) measurement techniques; 2) changes in soil microstructure; 3) adaptation of soil organisms; 4) new simulation models and management tools; 5) interdisciplinary research; and 6) applied research for managing ecosystems. The big task for the future is to integrate knowledge gained through frozen soils research into useful tools for the development of new management systems for our global ecosystems.

EDMONTON - Edmonton's Valley Zoo says an independent veterinarian has ruled that moving the city's lone elephant could threaten the animal's life.
The vet, Dr. James Oosterhuis, says Lucy has breathing problems that would make travel perilous.
The city released the opinion ahead of a visit this week by game show host Bob Barker.
He and other celebrities, including William Shatner, have argued that Lucy's isolated existence is tantamount to torture.
They are urging that she be sent to live among elephants in a refuge in the United States.
Lucy is 34 - the average lifespan for such animals is 45 years.
