Bias (solid) and ±1 sigma variability (dashed) of CloudSat-AIRS cloud top height differences for V4 (black) and V5 (red), and for the upper (top panel) and lower (bottom panel). Improvements to cloud retrievals were obtained in V5 over V4, which are more apparent in the upper cloud layer comparisons. In fact, the high height biases for low clouds decreases by 1-4 km and the low height biases in high clouds decreases by 0.5-1.0 km.

About AIRS
The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder, AIRS, in conjunction with the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit, AMSU, sense emitted infrared and microwave radiation from the Earth to provide a three-dimensional look at Earth's weather and climate. Working in tandem, the two instruments make simultaneous observations all the way down to the Earth's surface, even in the presence of heavy clouds. With more than 2,000 channels sensing different regions of the atmosphere, the system creates a global, 3-dimensional map of atmospheric temperature and humidity, cloud amounts and heights, greenhouse gas concentrations, and many other atmospheric phenomena. The AIRS and AMSU fly onboard NASA's Aqua spacecraft and are managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, under contract to NASA. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

Can you find the difference in these two cartons of orange juice? Try looking at how many ounces there are in each carton, in the lower right hand corner. Tropicana shrunk their juice once again. I complained to them when the 96 oz. container became 89 oz., and now they did it again!
I usually check these things myself, but this one I found by checking a consumer website. The "official" explanation? Well, there was a freeze in Florida, see, and the oranges all froze, which made for a shortage of oranges, which made them have to choose between raising the price or "shrinking" the amount of juice in each carton. Which would be a good explanation except for two things:
1. Tropicana uses a LOT of Brazilian oranges in the juice (right on the back of the carton!).
2. Florida's Natural (100% Florida oranges) has NOT "shrunk" their juice.
And most of all I get annoyed when companies say that they would have to raise the price if they didn't put less product in the containers. Hell, if I was paying $2.99 for 64 ounces, and now I'm paying $2.99 for 59 ounces, they DID raise the price.
Oh, and notice that the cartons are nearly identical in size!
i liked this one, the way the black swamps over the disc... but you can still see the ring round the center.
Raccoon in top photo is from the east coast of North America while the raccoon in the bottom photo is from the west coast. There definitely seems to be regional differences in appearance to me. Looking at raccoons from Stanley Park (difference of about 40 miles from my place), they look pretty much the same as mine. And all my raccoons look very similar. Wthout any identifying scars, bad eyes or other features, I can't tell who's who.
Raccoons on the east coast look quite different to me & I think anyone looking at these two photos would agree. I can't say if the look of the top raccoon is typical. It's of a raccoon mother who visited Gale's (yeimaya) place & her photo too, of course.
What I've seen that looks different are (I'll use my raccoon to point out differences since she's typical & I don't know if Gale's is).
West coast compared to east coast:
- ears are further apart on top of the head
-ears are less furry
- face looks broader
- less of a ruff around the side of the face
- a bit darker vertical facial streak extending to meet the nose in a solid band (can be seen better in my Water Baby photo) www.flickr.com/photos/judesjewels/7632644222/
I find it hard to quantify what's different exactly but it's like facial recognition - alter a familiar face in some small ways & suddenly, it looks like a different person. It's what I've found when I look at raccoon photos of others here on Flickr. Either they look 'familiar' or they don't. Where raccoons that live in the middle of the continent fit in, I couldn't say.
Has anyone else noticed that raccoons look a little different depending on where they're found? I'd love to know, please!
The Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour Comes to Philadelphia
An Inspirational Journey for an Inspirational Young Man
The power of one individual to make a difference cannot be measured in words, but in actions. John Ellis, a 17-year-old from Pensacola, Fla., was diagnosed with hepatitis B in 2006. Instead of being discouraged by this devastating medical diagnosis, John turned the news into an opportunity to raise awareness about hepatitis B. With a passion for cycling and a desire to help raise funds to find a cure for the disease, John contacted the Hepatitis B Foundation (www.hepb.org) with an idea to organize an East Coast cycling tour. Today, John’s idea has become a reality! The Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour, sponsored by the Hepatitis B Foundation, is a 1,100 mile journey which began on June 2 at John’s high school in Pensacola and ended in Philadelphia on June 23 – John’s 18th birthday!
A group of Hepatitis B Foundation researchers, staff, supporters, friends and family joined John and his riding companion and best friend, Jamaal Warren, for the last leg of their journey from Conshohocken to Kelly Drive in Philadelphia. John and Jamaal were welcomed at their Kelly Drive finish line by the Hepatitis B Foundation; Philadelphia’s Fralinger String Band Mummers; O’Liver, the Hepatitis B Foundation’s mascot; friends and family from Philadelphia and Pensacola and many more. ABC 6’s Health and Medical Reporter, Ali Gorman, served as the event emcee and Councilman Greenlee presented John with a citation from the city of Philadelphia. Dr. Timothy Block, Co-Founder of the Hepatitis B Foundation and Dr. Baruch Blumberg, Nobel laureate who discovered the hepatitis B virus also participated in the event program congratulating John for his extraordinary accomplishments.
About John Ellis and the Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour: John Ellis is an extraordinary young man. He was a healthy teenager, when the results of a routine blood test revealed that he had hepatitis B. This news came just two weeks before his 16th birthday and John recalls emotions of, “being incredibly scared because I didn’t know what having hepatitis B would mean for me.” His fear was further fueled by his doctor who told him that he would eventually need a liver transplant. John’s world was turned upside down. He was frightened and also confused as to how he could have contracted this potentially fatal disease; he had received the hepatitis B vaccine in middle school.
John turned to the Hepatitis B Foundation to learn more about his disease. The Foundation is the only national nonprofit organization solely dedicated to finding a cure and improving the quality of life for those affected with hepatitis B worldwide. Hepatitis B is the most common serious liver infection in the world. It is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) that attacks liver cells and can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer. The virus is transmitted through infected blood. In the U.S., 1 out of 20 persons (or 12 million Americans) have been infected with HBV.
Armed with information about hepatitis B and with a conviction to improve his health, John gave up a junk food diet and began exercising. He purchased a $50 bike from a local bike store and started riding it everywhere – to school, to work and just for fun. “I knew I wanted to ride for a cause. People need to become more aware about hepatitis B and how it affects us,” said John. John has shown us courage in the truest sense of the word. He is approaching his chronic hepatitis B diagnosis with a positive attitude and embarking on this cycling tour to prove to himself that he can overcome obstacles placed in his path. Knowing that there is no cure for hepatitis B does not dampen his spirits. “If I believe in my heart that things will work out for the best, then who’s to say I’m not cured,” said John.
Sponsors of the Cycling Tour include NutriSystem, CP Commercial Printing, Monster Graphics, Bikes Plus (Pensacola, Fla.), Fox Rothschild LLP, High Swartz LLP, Newman’s Own Organic, Clif Bars, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

Difference in using DX at 200mm and FX with 300mm. These are SOOC JPG's. The only difference was scaling the size of the D90 to match the D750's output.
One would think that a 200mm in DX and a 300mm in FX would yield an identical image but it won't simply because of the difference in the actual projected image changing the relative size and position of the scene. This can be seen at the difference in the windows on the right, the size and position of the two houses on the middle in the back and specially the top window on the right.
This was also a good test for the sharpness of the 70-200 with an old lower resolution sensor and the sensor of the D750 with an good lens.

Their with and without shot cracks me up. Clearly when you filter out UV light the pictures are so much more fun.
subtle [ suht-l ] small but important:
Until I started banding mourning doves, I had not noticed the subtle differences between male and female adult mourning doves. How did I make it this long without noticing? When recording information after placing a band on a dove, you need to note whether it is immature (hatch year), or adult male or adult female (after hatch year). At first, the subtle colors of the male does not grab your attention. But after looking more closely, the blue cap is obvious, the rosy breast is noticeable, and the iridescence on the neck shows up when the male turns in the sunlight. After looking closely for all of this, it is no longer subtle, but obvious. Right? Then again, under different lighting conditions, it is pretty subtle.

If it wasn't obvious enough already, I did not do much reading on Pokemon B & W before it got released.
I decided to restart the game, since I was torn on what pokemon to get into my team and I already went through most of the game so I had no trainers to fight and nothing to do =/.
Ah well, I made my mind up and got my new team ready now, but this time I'm playing as a Female character.
But as for the for interface..everything was pink..and hearts everywhere, why hearts! gah XD
The Pink DS is my sister's and is running Pokemon White with a male character. The Black DSi is running Pokemon Black with a Female Character.
Only 40 years separate the two at O'Hare Station: CTA 2200s on the left and 5000s (test train) on the right
what do you think this is?

Survived by his wife, son and daughter, Charlton died suddenly of a heart attack at his Avalon home on 10 December 1975, and was cremated. His estate was valued for probate at $131,850.
Charlton's stroke was a four-beat, trudgen crawl, called by some at the time the single trudgen crawl. There was very little leg movement: the wide scissor kick was made horizontally at the end of the left arm drive with the body turned well sideways, then followed two or three vertical kicks. His powerful arms and withering final sprint made him a champion, despite the fact that he rarely trained, preferring to surf instead. In 1968 the new Sydney Domain baths were named after him and in 1972 he was honoured by the International Swimming Hall of Fame at Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States of America
