NASA Transfers Operational Control of Environmental Satellite
 
 
WASHINGTON -- The Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite, a partnership between NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), was transitioned to NOAA operational organization control Feb. 22. The transition marks the next step of the mission that supports NASA's Earth science research and NOAA's weather forecasting missions.

Suomi NPP continues the observations of Earth from space that were pioneered by NASA's Earth Observing System. The satellite's five instruments are providing scientists with data to extend more than 30 key long-term datasets. These records, which include observations of the ozone layer, land cover, atmospheric temperatures and ice cover, provide critical data for global change science.

"Suomi NPP is an important asset for NASA, NOAA, and the nation," said Michael Freilich, director of the Earth Science Division in NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. "As a true collaboration in which all partners benefit, Suomi NPP measurements are supporting researchers and weather forecasters alike."

Suomi NPP also collects critical data for our understanding of long-term climate change while increasing our ability to improve weather forecasts in the short term. NOAA meteorologists are incorporating Suomi NPP information into their weather prediction models to produce forecasts and warnings that already are helping emergency responders anticipate, monitor, and react to many types of natural events.

"Satellites like Suomi NPP are critical to the National Weather Service's mission and improved decision support services," said Louis Uccellini, director of NOAA's National Weather Service. "These polar satellites provide an important dataset for the global Earth-observing system and will lead to improved forecasts out to three days in the future and beyond."

The Suomi NPP mission is a bridge between NASA's legacy Earth-observing missions and NOAA's next-generation Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS). Suomi NPP carries groundbreaking new Earth-observing instruments that JPSS will use operationally. The first satellite in the JPSS series, JPSS-1, is targeted for launch in early 2017.

NASA launched Suomi NPP Oct. 28, 2011, from California. Since then, the JPSS program based at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt., Md., has been helping maintain the Suomi NPP instruments in addition to providing the ground system, with NOAA institutional organizations providing operational mission support. The NOAA operations group now assumes responsibility for Suomi NPP.

Suomi NPP instruments observe key attributes of the Earth, including measurements of cloud and vegetation cover, ice cover, ocean color, and sea and land surface temperatures. The suite includes the Visible/Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS); the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS); the Clouds and Earth Radiant Energy System (CERES); the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS); and the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS).

"Observations from Suomi NPP are helping to advance science and to increase the accuracy of short-term meteorological predictions," said James Gleason, Suomi NPP project scientist at NASA Goddard. "ATMS data are being used by the National Weather Service in their forecast models. And OMPS data continued over 30 years of ozone hole measurements helping the community put this year's smaller ozone hole in perspective."

Suomi NPP observes Earth's surface twice a day, once in daylight and once at night, flying 512 miles (824 kilometers) high in a polar orbit. The satellite sends its data once an orbit to a ground station in Svalbard, Norway. The information is transferred via fiber optic cable for processing at NOAA's Satellite Operations Facility in Suitland, Md. Data products are archived at the NOAA National Climatic Data Center in Ashville, N.C.

Suomi NPP is named in honor of the late Verner E. Suomi, a meteorologist at the University of Wisconsin who is recognized widely as the father of satellite meteorology.

Anyone who doubts fiscal cliff impacted US economy is living in a fantasy-land




However you slice the data, the US economy struggled more than expected in Q4, led by a drop in defense spending
Business emotional

There are some, like Joe Weisenthal of Business Insider, who disagreed with my argument earlier about the responsibility of the fiscal cliff vacillation in Washington for the weak fourth-quarter performance of the US economy.
Joe, for instance, argues that the drop in business inventory was expected, and that businesses spent more money on software, which shows some measure of confidence despite the fiscal cliff. He calls worries about the fiscal cliff the result of the "Confidence Fairy", which seems to bless certain economic outcomes with the alleged sparkledust of business confidence. But like Santa Claus, the Confidence Fairy is not real, according to Joe.
There are a couple of major problems with Joe's argument that the fiscal cliff had no effect on GDP.
The first problem is that one of the biggest contributors to the drop in GDP was the huge drop in defense spending. There would have been no other reason for such a big drop except for the fiscal cliff. So, if nothing else, the fiscal cliff, by hurting defense spending, affected GDP by at least 1.3 percentage points. As RBC analysts wrote today:
"The slowing in overall GDP growth in Q4 largely resulted from a moderation in the pace of inventory building, weakness in net trade, and an outsized drop in the often volatile government defense component that may have reflected precautionary cuts ahead of the so-called fiscal cliff."
Joe also maintains that business spending on equipment and software actually increased. This is true. That kind of spending jumped by 12.4% in the last three months of the year – "the third-biggest jump since the economic recovery started in the middle of 2009", as the Wall Street Journal points out. Joe reasons businesses would not have spent that money unless they believed the economy would be good, so the fiscal cliff must have been a fake concern.
But that may be based on only a shallow reading of the numbers. I would say just the opposite: business spending is a false friend as far as measures of growth go. It does not predict confidence. Very often, it predicts that businesses do not trust consumer demand to rise, and that they plan to squeeze more out of existing workers.
Here's how that works: Business spending started going up two years ago. The expectation was that businesses were investing in themselves to ramp up in response to greater demand for their products. That would eventually result in more hiring.
But business spending has not actually signalled greater demand or more hiring. Instead, it's a sign that businesses are squeezing more work out of their workers. That means they have to update their machines or their software - often after years of putting it off. But it doesn't trickle down to the rest of the economy – or at least, it hasn't for nearly two years.
So I would respond to Joe by saying that business spending is not a sign of confidence – it's a sign of the opposite, that businesses plan to continue squeezing more out of their workers without hiring more. Only when businesses really start to hire on a grand scale can we believe they believe that the economy is strong enough to support more demand for products from consumers. But business leaders have been complaining that the demand just isn't there; that doesn't appear to have changed, in their opinion.
Another way you can judge that the fiscal cliff definitely had an effect: Business investment in buildings fell by a significant amount – 1.1% in the fourth quarter alone. Any real estate investment requires a pretty good understanding of what tax rates will be. Since the fiscal cliff caused businesses to be completely unsure of what their tax rates would be, we can also attribute the drop in business investment in buildings to the fiscal cliff.
Lastly, Joe argues that the fiscal cliff was irrelevant because the drop in inventories was largely expected. That's true about inventories, but it's an issue of quantity. The inventory numbers were not expected to drop so low. In most economic numbers – as with company earnings – the major issue is not the drop; it's the surprise of it. Was it expected? If so, it means that our understanding of the economy is on track. If not, it means there is a contradiction in our premises and there is a reason to dig deeper.
So it is with inventories. If inventories dropped by such a surprising amount, it doesn't mean that retailers are selling more than expected; it means that they're probably afraid to order more, because they're worried about demand. What leads to this conclusion is that retail sales were not particularly good, except for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. People did most of their shopping early in the season and then didn't keep spending.
You have to wonder why inventories dropped so much; you would need a shock of some sort to explain it. The fiscal cliff is one such shock; Hurricane Sandy could be another. But it's very hard to argue that businesses were confident, based on that surprising plummet in inventories.
Joe also points to consumer spending as a signal that the fiscal cliff had little or not effect on the economy. This really doesn't make a dent; consumers were largely unaware of the fiscal cliff and did not factor it into their thinking, according to numerous polls. The key to judging the effect of the fiscal cliff is to look at what businesses are thinking; they were the ones who were educated about the issues and who have any kind of control over the levers that move the economy.
Consumers showed evident fatigue about Washington's reindeer games and just went about their business; their behavior is largely divorced from the fiscal cliff debate of last year. (Though it is likely that consumers will react to the increase in the payroll tax this year; it's less money in their paychecks.)
Another issue that Joe brings up in support of his point against the fiscal cliff is another, separate measure: durable goods orders. These are big, heavy items, and when those orders rise, it's generally a good sign for the economy. Orders jumped by 4.6% in December, which is significant.
But this number, too, is misleading. As the Wall Street Journal notes, the rise in durable goods was not because businesses were suddenly full of confidence. Instead, "the rise was fueled by stepped-up spending on aircraft and defense products, two volatile categories that can obscure the real picture." In fact, if you take out transportation equipment, the Journal notes, durable goods order rose only 1.3%. That's good news, but hardly a sign of business confidence going gangbusters.
The fiscal cliff certainly put a dent in the economic numbers, at least for the fourth quarter. It certainly did not help them. Confidence does not come in fairy form, but it does count, because human beings are not automatons. The biggest mistake economists make is to assume that all decisions are economically rational; we know that for a fact to be untrue, though. People make irrational decisions, and some of those people are CEOs. If they feel fear, they won't spend money. In fact, that is the threat that CEOs have been making for years in response to Washington policy and regulation.
The fact is, that there are very few economists who would dismiss the effect of the fiscal cliff out of hand. The economy clearly received a shock in the fourth quarter. Polina Vlasenko, a research fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research, noted that the fiscal cliff was one of the factors holding back the economy in the fourth quarter, enough to require a recovery:
"As the economy recovers from the effects of Sandy and the fiscal impasse in Washington, we expect to see a rebound in growth in the first quarter of 2013. This forecast is supported by the fact that consumer spending, the main driver of the US economy, continues to grow steadily."
The Confidence Fairy does not exist. But what does exist is the very real effect of Washington policy changes on very real taxes and very real government spending. Washington was talking about extreme, tangible changes worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
Any CEO or business owner who would have ignored that and blithely continued to spend would have been an impractical business person. There is no sparkle dust that will distort that reality.

President reignites Falklands row

Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner reignited the row over the Falkland Islands
Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner reignited the row over the Falkland Islands
Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has reignited the row over the future of the Falkland Islands in an open letter to David Cameron calling on him to relinquish British control.
The letter, published as an advert in the Guardian newspaper, says that Argentina was forcibly stripped of the Malvinas - the Argentinian name for the islands - in "a blatant exercise of 19th-century colonialism".
The 59-year-old president, who made several calls for the return of the islands during last year's 30th anniversary of the two countries going to war, urged the Prime Minister to abide by United Nations resolutions she says back the Argentinian cause.
"One hundred and eighty years ago on the same date, January 3rd, in a blatant exercise of 19th-century colonialism, Argentina was forcibly stripped of the Malvinas Islands, which are situated 14,000km (8,700 miles) away from London," she said in the letter, copied to United Nations secretary general Ban Ki-moon.
"The Argentines on the Islands were expelled by the Royal Navy and the United Kingdom subsequently began a population implantation process similar to that applied to other territories under colonial rule. Since then, Britain, the colonial power, has refused to return the territories to the Argentine Republic, thus preventing it from restoring its territorial integrity. The Question of the Malvinas Islands is also a cause embraced by Latin America and by a vast majority of peoples and governments around the world that reject colonialism."
Mr Cameron and Ms de Kirchner clashed over the Falklands when the pair came face to face at the G20 summit in Mexico last June. He rejected her demand for negotiations over the sovereignty of the islands and told her that she should respect the result of a referendum next year, when the Falklanders will vote on whether they wish to retain their ties with Britain.
The Argentine president had earlier taken her demands to the United Nations, appearing at the annual meeting of the little-known UN Decolonisation Committee on the 30th anniversary of Britain's ousting of an Argentinian invasion force from the Falklands. She used the occasion to reiterate Argentina's opposition to any more wars and to criticise the Prime Minister's decision to mark the day by flying the Falklands flag over his official 10 Downing Street residence.
In December Argentina protested at Britain's decision to name a vast swathe of Antarctica Queen Elizabeth Land, with its foreign ministry handed a formal protest note to British ambassador John Freeman in Buenos Aires. The area, which makes up around a third of the British Antarctic Territory, is also claimed by the South American country.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said that the Falkland Islanders "are British and have chosen to be so".
"They remain free to choose their own futures, both politically and economically, and have a right to self-determination as enshrined in the UN Charter," she added. "This is a fundamental human right for all peoples. There are three parties to this debate, not just two as Argentina likes to pretend. The islanders can't just be written out of history. As such, there can be no negotiations on the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands unless and until such time as the islanders so wish."

Rolling clouds... Good and proper...



[Veitnam, Veitnam war 1960's]



Seems for man, around here? One day when pastures grope anew field, sorrows departure workings fulfil mans newer seekings, stander upon thee oh yaeh said detriment, for a fortitudes makings brethren known thy???

Amen, pastures anew and old...  Amen... Let he be the the maker of sin upon his plate where foughtings of virtue begosts thy plight... Amen verily said he. Travelling yonder... Amen.




“The Three Trillion Dollar War” talks about two types of war-related expenses: budgetary and social. Budgetary costs include operational spending on Iraq and Afghanistan, which they estimate will total from $1.7 trillion to $2.7 trillion. (Throughout the book, the authors put forward two sets of figures: one based on a “best-case scenario” and one on a far more likely “realistic-moderate” scenario.) This figure includes the expense of keeping armies in the field, paying veteran-related costs, replacing equipment ($400 billion for this alone), and paying interest on the vast debt we have incurred to fight the war. So far, Congress has actually appropriated $645 billion for Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001, plus the $200 billion Bush asked for in 2008. As the authors point out, this is more than the U.S. spends annually on Medicare and Medicaid combined. And the monthly “burn rate” to pay for the wars has gone steadily up, from $4.4 billion in 2003 to $16 billion today. This means that every American household is spending $138 a month on the current operating expenses of the wars.
The additional “social” costs that are not borne by the government are harder to calculate — and more controversial.

The Three Lists:
  • The Domestic, Unadjusted (for inflation) list of box-office champs is top heavy with recent films. Rankings may change daily with every new blockbuster release. There are few films that are classics or films from Hollywood's Golden Era in this list. Top-grossing, financially-successful films often rate lower in artistic achievement. Blockbusters, special effects wonders, films with sequels and expensive campaign and publicity ads fill many of the positions. (Notice that there are very few pre-1980 films in the unadjusted list.)
  • The Domestic, Adjusted (for inflation) list of box-office champs - with rankings that don't vary much from month to month (and therefore is not updated as regularly) - takes into account inflationary factors such as ticket prices and any re-issues or re-releases, and is more reflective of a film's actual appeal. [It is inflation-adjusted to the 2012 average ticket price of $8.02. Most pre-1980 pictures achieved their totals through multiple releases.] The escalating price of theatre tickets would otherwise bias a list of all-time blockbuster films to recent releases. See more details.
  • The Worldwide list of box-office-champs - in some cases, the gross earnings were made with multiple releases. Currently, only about a quarter of the films were not in the decade of the 2000s.

What is protein synthesis?

DNA replication fork.
Protein synthesis is the transcription and translation of specific parts of DNA to form proteins.
The following is a brief overview of how a gene (a section of the DNA molecule) serves as a template for the synthesis of a protein. The process can be split into two phases. Transcription occurs first, followed by translation.
•Inside the cell
•Heredity and reproduction
In this section:

Transcription

Transcription starts with an enzyme called polymerase copying the DNA sequence to a similar molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA). It replaces T with U (Uracil), a helper base, making it clear that the mRNA is a copy. The bases (A, T, G, C) on one strand of the DNA specify the order of bases on the new strand of mRNA (A, U, G, C). The DNA stays inside the nucleus, but the mRNA travels out into the cytoplasm.

Translation

Translation is the part of protein synthesis where the ribosomes in the cytoplasm use transfer RNA (tRNA) to attach to the mRNA and translate the bases into amino acids. tRNA molecules bring the specified amino acids that the ribosome links together to make a protein.
