Atmospheric gases scatter blue wavelengths of visible light more than other wavelengths, giving the Earth’s visible edge a blue halo. At higher and higher altitudes, the atmosphere becomes so thin that it essentially ceases to exist. Gradually, the atmospheric halo fades into the blackness of space. This astronaut photograph captured on July 20, 2006, shows a nearly translucent moon emerging from behind the halo.
Technically, there is no absolute dividing line between the Earth’s atmosphere and space, but for scientists studying the balance of incoming and outgoing energy on the Earth, it is conceptually useful to think of the altitude at about 100 kilometers above the Earth as the “top of the atmosphere.” The top of the atmosphere is the bottom line of Earth’s energy budget, the Grand Central Station of radiation. It is the place where solar energy (mostly visible light) enters the Earth system and where both reflected light and invisible, thermal radiation from the Sun-warmed Earth exit. The balance between incoming and outgoing energy at the top of the atmosphere determines the Earth’s average temperature. The ability of greenhouses gases to change the balance by reducing how much thermal energy exits is what global warming is all about.
Greenhouse gases aren’t the only part of the Earth system that influence the energy balance. The percent of incoming sunlight the Earth system reflects (the Earth’s albedo) is a key climate factor since whatever is reflected can’t go on to warm the planet. Clouds, such as those blanketed the earth int he image above, snow, and ice have the biggest influence on how reflective Earth is. When any of these factors change, Earth’albedo can change. Since the late 1990s, NASA satellites have been observing the top of the atmosphere with sensors known as CERES, short for “Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System,” and scientists have been using the data to look for signs of change in the amount of energy the Earth reflects or emits.
Because snow and ice are so reflective, scientists have long expected that melting of snow and ice in the polar regions will accelerate climate warming by reducing the Earth’ albedo. Atmospheric scientist Seiji Kato of NASA’s Langley Research Center and several teammates have used a suite of NASA and NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) satellite observations to investigate whether this feedback is already underway. The team compared reflected sunlight, clouds, and sea ice and snow cover at polar latitudes from 2000-2004. What they found was a bit of a surprise: while snow and ice in the Arctic declined, the albedo didn’t change. To read more about the team’s investigation, read the Earth Observatory feature story Arctic Reflection: Clouds Replace Snow and Ice as Solar Reflector.
Astronaut photograph ISS013-E-54329 was acquired July 20, 2006, with a Kodak 760C digital camera using a 400 mm lens, and is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations experiment and the Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, Johnson Space Center. The image in this article has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet.

At the burrito place there was this girl that had no regard for showing her crack, when in reality it was more of a muffin top - Downtown Chicago
This is something I have in mind for long time.
I remember my father helped me make “homemade” computer desk years ago. It was so cool back then. Few months ago, my friend got used commercial type desk from store and it was awesome. It gave me some ideas where I can do similar for less.
Countertop
Home Depot and Lowe’s are perfect place to shop around. Lowe’s are only one that offers several different color on countertop such as green, black, tan, etc. Home Depot only offers one color. I got tan colored 8-feet countertop. They also have 4, 6, 8 and 10 feet countertop in stock. I drilled two holes on it where all wires can goes there.
I got a pair sidebar template. It was relatively easy to install – I had to use iron to heat it and it get attached to sidebar. It’s only $15 dollars.
Cabinet
We did look at wood-type cabinet for around $125 dollars but it required stain paint and craps. However we saw nice metal 2-drawer cabinet at Sam’s Club for $82 each. We got two of them. Office Depot and Staples have them too but they are over $100 each however they carry all colors while Sam’s Club only offers putty type ones.
I spend about $250 on this huge multimedia desk – plenty room for 2nd person to sit next to me.
2 - Hirsh 2-Drawer Commercial Vertical File (putty) - $82 each plus tax
1 - Countertop type (tan-marble type) 8-feet long - $70 plus tax
1 - Pair of sidebar template (color matched) with extra wood and nails - $15 plus tax
What do you think?

Writer / Social Media Journalist / Multimedia Producer
Student Co-Op Opportunity
NASA invites students working towards degrees in journalism, communications, media relations, science writing, interactive journalism, or broadcast journalism, to participate in our science storytelling program – before you graduate.
You’ll gain on the job experience as you work with a leading team of writers and multimedia producers to create and share content from some of NASA’s most exciting missions: mind-blowing results from the Hubble Space Telescope; breaking solar storm imagery and the emerging field of space weather; new views of the moon from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter; and major stories on our changing planet from NASA’s Earth observing fleet of satellites.
Students wishing to explore the intersection between print, broadcast journalism and social media environments are particularly encouraged to apply.
DUTIES: Writing, editing, pitching, recording, creating, crunching, captioning, surfing, shooting, feeding, porting, posting, designing, updating, networking, texting, tweeting, playing, mashing, and exploring. You’ll collaborate on sophisticated communications campaigns and work on web features, press releases, newsletter articles, press conferences, media interviews, tweet ups, satellite media tours, and video news releases.
REQUIRED: Program is open to both graduate and undergraduate students in matriculated academic programs. Excellent writing skills and personal participation in social media communities required. Experience in newsroom, web, video and multimedia environments desired. We are especially interested in students who are able participate in the program for a minimum of a year. You may work on an alternating semester or quarterly basis and are expected to spend a minimum of three semesters/quarters on the job prior to graduation. This can include a summer tour. You are expected to meet the same employment standards as permanent employees. Applicants must be US citizens and have a strong academic record.
NASA GODDARD CO-OP PROGRAM: This unique program is designed to give promising undergraduate students the opportunity to gain practical experience complimenting their academic studies. You’ll be provided with challenging assignments that are aligned with your academic studies and personal interests. We seek highly motivated undergraduates in variety of fields including journalism, science writing, multimedia production, and corporate communications.
GRADUATE STUDIES: Our graduate studies Co-Op program looks for highly motivated students. Students selected for this program should be entering either their first or second year of graduate studies following this assignment.
Apply: Send a resume and cover letter to Goddard Multimedia [goddard.multimedia@yahoo.com]. Please include the position title “NASA Co-Op” in the email header.
DEADLINE: For best results, apply before January 6, 2012.
APPLY: send resume and cover letter to goddard.multimedia@yahoo.com

Simple multimedia tools to create great content. A note pad, optiFlow pens, colored flag tags, Mp3 recorder/player, Flip video camera,laptop computer, CD/DVD media disks and for tired eyes a magnifier glass. Also the picture taken with a digital camera. These tools will not break the bank and get the job done.
