Events, Tech Library, and More!
Whether you're at a bus stop waiting for your next ride or in the garage working on your next project, cell phones have become a greatly needed accessory for our lives. It seems more and more you can't go anywhere without seeing someone on their cell phone or being on one yourself. The upside to it is companies are now starting to create apps to better fit your personal experience with your phone. Eastwood now offers an app that allows you to check out the latest Eastwood events, look at photo galleries, and get coupons on Eastwood products. We decided to download the app and break down the 12 features that it offers.
As of November 19, 2013, the events page shows you three different events, their dates, and times. For instance, "Black Friday Deals" is listed as happening on November 29, 2013 and goes from 12:00am-12:00pm. If you hit that specific event you get the option of what the event is about, comments on the event, who is attending, and a gallery showcasing photos from it. Of course right now the only section that is filled out is "about," but we expect to see more once the event occurs. Pretty neat feature if you're interested in getting involved.
Car Cam
"Add a picture of your car, a cool car you spotted at a show, or Eastwood products in action!" This feature allows you to pull up photos from your phone and share them with Eastwood on their website, social media page, and print.
You will be taken to Eastwood's blog which feeds are all dated in order so readers can keep up with the latest Eastwood happenings.
The gallery will show you lots of cool photos that Eastwood has taken. So far there are about 20 photos in the gallery and they're all from the 2013 SEMA Show. You have the option to save these photos or even share them with your friends via email, Facebook, and Twitter.
Fan Wall
This is for all of you fans out there who want to share your hot rod or hauler and write a comment. To add something, you have to login to Facebook or Twitter first and then you're set. People can also reply to the threads that you post much like other social media platforms. Posts can be viewed by location and you can even find other like-minded enthusiasts near you.
Social Media
Social Media gives you the choice to either view the Eastwood Facebook page or Eastwood Twitter. This is great for people who want to follow either of them.
If you enjoy watching videos with the latest tech, drag racing, and burnouts, then you'll want to check this out. The feature takes you directly to the Eastwood YouTube channel where you'll get access to drag racing, restoration projects, how-to's, and more.
These are web alerts that Eastwood sends out. You can share these items via email, Facebook, Twitter, and SMS. If you hit the timeline option, you can see what's been posted and can view the items on the website or through the app itself.
QR Coupons
Eastwood is giving away coupons that you can scan with your phone by using the camera. Simply check in 3 times using this feature and you will receive a coupon that can be used for Eastwood products.
Tech Library
This is a great feature for anyone who is working on a project car or truck. The four categories are: Paintings & Coatings, Welding & Fabrication, Auto Body, and Tools & Equipment. Each can be separately selected and include how-to's, buyers guides, FAQ's, and specific articles that will help guide you in the right direction.
Live Chat
Customer Service 2.0! Live Chat allows you to speak with Eastwood employees regarding general information, billing, and shipping. First you need to fill out your name, email, the title of your problem, and the problem description. You then can choose the priority of your issue and submit a ticket. An Eastwood rep will be happy to help you out once they can answer your ticket.
About Us
The last feature of this app is the About Us which gives you the main store location along with all of the store's contact information.
This is one app we think that will sit very well with you, so the next time you're out and about be sure to download the Eastwood app and remember to keep the hobby alive.

1. Using a dry erase marker, place a dot where you would like to drill your holes (to appear as thread holes on a button) on the underside of the plastic lid.
2. Drill your holes gently and not too forcefully. If you press too hard or use a fast speed too quickly, you may crack your lid. Be sure to hold onto your lid with your other hand to hold it in place. Use safety when working with hand tools.
3. Run cording or string into your lid holes and secure with a knot (and glue if preferred).
4. Fill your jar with buttons.
These fun button jars make wonderful gifts for anyone who sews or uses buttons for crafts.
They are perfect to add to a child's hope chest.

50 Years Ago
From the Vineyard Gazette editions of February, 1958:
In a most orderly and well conducted town meeting on Tuesday night, Tisbury voters disposed of an annual warrant containing thirty-nine articles, appropriating a budget of $450,544.08, and completing the whole annual business in three hours. The assemblage, totaling no more than one-third of the town's registered voters, the estimate falling somewhat short of 300, held to the line with regard to the recommendations of the town finance committee, rejecting the proposal to purchase additional land for another fire station. It did vote to purchase a fully equipped police cruiser of the station wagon type, equipped with ambulance facilities, radio and other necessary equipment, the whole to cost $3,600. Yet even conservative as the voters were, and it could not be charged that unnecessary spending was favored, an eight-dollar boost in the tax rate is anticipated, bringing it up to $55 per thousand, and this without reckoning possible payment of the town's share of the Steamship Authority deficit.
A total budget of $364,121.30, to be raised by taxation, was voted on Wednesday night in Oak Bluffs, the principal departmental budget being as follows: general government, $21,550; police department, $13,775; fire department, $11,537.50, health department, $20,220; for the highway department for general maintenance, $42,675; public welfare, $82,850, including $68,000 for old age assistance; school department, $97,392.50; library $4,110; recreation, $6,400; cemetery department, $2,075; water department, which budget is appropriated from departmental revenue, $52,456.25; Regional school apportionment, $23,811.46; and interest and maturing indebtedness, $27,233,25. A rise of possibly twelve dollars in the tax rate is anticipated bringing the figure to $56 on a thousand for the ensuring year.
A tax rate of about $51 is foreseen as a result of the action of the annual Edgaratown meeting on Tuesday evening. The 1957 rate was $42. The sharp increase in state assessments and county tax is partially responsible. The approximate figure of $51 does not take into account of any assessments for the deficit of the Steamship Authority. Little discussion marked the meeting, which was concluded in an hour and a half, almost breakneck speed compared with the pace of many annual town meetings in the past. The principal departure from the recommendations of the finance committee was voting of $7,350 for resurfacing part of the herring creek road. A requested expenditure of $7,500 for a Trapp's Pond opening, opposed by the finance committee, was voted down.
A tax conscious West Tisbury voted down a new fire truck and the acquisition of pond frontage at its annual town meeting last night. The most frequently heard argument in the two and a half hour long meeting was, "It's a good idea, but can we afford it?" With this sentiment, the new fire truck was lost, although the ballot vote was favorable 56 for to 41 against. The article required a two-thirds vote, since it involved borrowing money for longer than a year. The defeat of the pond shore acquisition was influenced by an offer by Kenneth Jones to let the town use some of his land on the pond shore. The tax rate, while it could not be accurately estimated, was guessed at in the neighborhood of $40, even with the rejection of the fire truck and pond property. This was due to increased school costs, state and county expenses, with school expenses alone up some $8,000.
The town of Chilmark became the owner of the Chilmark Community Center building Monday night when the voters went overwhelmingly to purchase the structure and land from the Chilmark Community Fund Inc. for $18,000. The purchase was the largest item of business in the one and a half hour annual meeting. In the process, they voted to accept the recommended expenditures of the board of selectmen, totaling $47,526.84; they voted to spend $12,000 for Chapter 90 roadwork; to appropriate an extra $500 for making improvements and for landscaping the town cemetery at Abel's Hill; $4,000 for the maintenance of the fire department and its equipment; and they voted to appropriate $1,500 for improving the small boat landing at Hariph's Creek Bridge. In the matter of the regional school district assessment, it was voted to pay at the moment only the amount certified before Dec. 31, 1957, $4,338.8.
3/13/1958: With little debate, Gay Head voted a budget that will total somewhat in excess of sixty thousand dollars, cleaning up the warrant of twenty-two articles in four hours flat, including close to half an hour for a coffee break at noon. This budget figure does not include $13,000 for a fire house, which is to be financed by a bond issue. Article 14 dealt with the three referendum questions relating to the Steamship Authority deficit, to the repeal of the present law and ending of the present Authority, and third, the setting up of a new Island controlled Authority. In line with all the other Vineyard towns, Gay Head voted overwhelmingly in favor of the referendum questions concerning the Steamship Authority.

BenQ W1200 HD DLP projector
End of the rainbow?
Path to enlightenment
The W1200 will throw a 65in picture from just 2m and is bright enough to comfortably go larger if you have the room. One sop to its budget price is the lack of a vertical lens shift option, so you'll need to have a reasonably straight projection path. However an auto keystone correction function works well and there's manual keystone correction if you need to make more adjustments.
More living room than boardroom
With its default settings, the projector is a tad noisy. The DLP cooling fans generate around 27dB of grumble. However, engaging the lamp's Economic setting reduces this to just 22dB. There's no significant brightness hit in a light controlled dark room.
Power consumption also falls by 20 per cent. This is quiet enough to be masked by a decent sound system when you're watching movies. Lamp life is quoted at 4000 hours in eco mode. Replacement is a user friendly job.
This is not a difficult projector to calibrate. Within a few minutes I was happy both with its black levels and clarity.
The 4,000 hour bulb will get you through about 2,500 movies
This BenQ delivers bright, ziggy reds and yellows, courtesy of TI's BrilliantColor processing. The vibrancy of these hues may be too much for some cinephiles, but I thought they looked great, particularly on the Blu-ray animation of Chico & Rita. The W1200's picture is also low on noise, with effortless gradation – the latter courtesy of a not-to-shabby 10-bit colour processor.

The internet (all hail the internet), as great as it is, cannot replicate every corner of human interaction. And the fact is that even this on-line community for Solid Edge does not touch every need of every user. Having dealt with CAD users now for about 20 years, I can tell you that users come in all stripes. Some do not use social media or the internet for work. Some will not use personal time for work topics. Some will refuse to talk to salesmen.
So what if we created a face-to-face user group in your city that meets at lunch time. A group run by users for users. Where all you get is technical info, no sales pitches. Maybe we buy your lunch and give out some Solid Edge swag. We put you in touch with Solid Edge development executives. And the meetings are free. Just show up and take as much technical help with you as you can absorb in two hours.
Well, that's exactly what we're doing. In Cincinnati. On April 13. From noon to 2 pm. At the Milford, OH Siemens facility. Sign up using Meetup.com.
This new group will be led by Matt Johnson, one of the most knowledgeable Solid Edge people you will ever find, inside or outside of the company.
Just as a teaser, this will be the first city of three where we will be seeding new user groups this spring.
Here are some details of the meeting:
So sign up for the inaugural meeting of the Cincinnati EdgeGroup. There will be on-going opportunities for leadership, public speaking, and interaction with Solid Edge employees. EdgeGroup will let you meet with other Edgers in a pressure-free setting where you can learn and share with others interested in the same things.
The Meetup.com service matches people's interests with face-to-face group topics. It is one of the ways we have chosen to find people interested in Solid Edge and related topics. If you prefer not to join Meetup.com, please register by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
THIS is so darn awesome!....makes me wish I was a local!!
International groups are coming ...
Sounds like someone just volunteered to lead his local group, @SeanCresswell.
No worries there @swertel,....not quite the same scale of people here though.
I am definitely keeping my ear-balls peeled for how to execute a similar event package here though....you'd be keen to be a guest speaker, right?
Big Matt will be a cool "emcee"! Good luck guys and build a strong community!
Absolutely @SeanCresswell. I've always been looking for a reason to spend a whole day sitting in a cramped metal tube.
But let's make it for next "summer" not this summer. The family vacation is already planned for this summer and I'm sure my wife would be upset if I didn't turn a trip to the southern hemisphere into a family vacation.

Dan Walters: Activist government spawns corruption opportunities
Environmental groups claimed a major victory for the public interest four decades ago when voters, and then the Legislature, imposed tight regulation on the development of land along California's 1,000-mile-long coastline.
Projects within the "coastal zone" would be subject to oversight by a new state commission appointed by the governor and the Legislature.
However, as with all major political policies, the coastal-protection law had unintended consequences.
By restricting the supply of coastal land that could be developed, it raised the economic value of that land, and therefore created an incentive for landowners and developers to influence the regulatory mechanism.
A corps of lobbyists, many with connections to Sacramento politicians who appointed commission members, quickly offered services to developers. Meanwhile, there was a flurry of bills to redraw the coastal zone's boundaries to exclude certain lands from the commission's purview.
With stakes in the hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars, it's not surprising that scandals ensued. One coastal commissioner was nailed for taking bribes, a legislator was revealed to be seeking a coastal zone exemption for his own holdings, and several other lawmakers were found to be carrying exemption bills for others.
The situation was encapsulated in a memo that a coastal land lobbyist wrote to a group of Southern California landowners, describing the increase in value that their holdings would enjoy from a coastal zone exemption and itemizing how much money it would take in lobbying fees and campaign checks to get such a bill through the Legislature.
What happened on coastal land regulation was a perfect illustration of what one might call the dark side of governmental activism. A new regulatory mechanism, a new tax break, or a new subsidy – all with supposedly benign motives – also create new incentives for those affected to employ lobbyists, campaign contributions and other forms of political persuasion.
We have seen it not only with coastal regulation, but with "enterprise zones," with "redevelopment," and with countless tax breaks of various kinds.
A quarter-century ago, when the FBI conducted a sting investigation of Capitol influence peddling, agents posed as businessmen seeking special treatment of a shrimp processing plant, and the ruse worked because it sounded like business as usual to legislators caught soliciting bribes.
It apparently sounded legitimately illegitimate to Sen. Ron Calderon who, an FBI affidavit says, sought bribes from an agent posing as a movie producer and pleading for an expansion of the state's subsidy program for film projects.
When a new regulatory or subsidy scheme is proposed to supposedly benefit the larger public, we should always keep in mind that it may have a darker side.

Monday marked the beginning of National Newspaper Week, and you are invited to celebrate with us the significance of your newspaper and its place in our communities.
Monday marked the beginning of National Newspaper Week, and you are invited to celebrate with us the significance of your newspaper and its place in our communities.
Whether you rely on The Sun Journal to bring you the current events each day, the latest on your favorite sports teams, an exhaustive list of entertainment possibilities or the many ads and coupons found in each issue, it is a part of our lives.
Many of our parents have the clippings that appeared in the local paper announcing our births, graduations and marriages.
All the important parts of our lives � including the solemn task of letting friends and neighbors know when our journeys have ended � can be found in the pages of the local newspaper.
The significance goes far beyond the sentimental, though.
Newspapers � particularly those in our local communities � serve as watchdogs, alerting the public to the events and developments in government and how their lives might be affected.
And they give the government a quick and efficient way to communicate with the people through public notices and all the reporting that shares information the public needs and their officials have.
Times have changed over the past several centuries.
There have been changes in the way newspapers deliver the news. Advancements in technology make things like our websites crucial additions to our news gathering and information distribution.
While some people think websites have driven readership down, the opposite is actually true. The combined readership of the newspapers and their websites � as well as the many other delivery methods such as tablets and smartphones � have broadened the appeal of and access to their content. Newspapers are now read by seven out of every 10 adults, in large measure thanks to these technological improvements and the continued significance of the information they contain.
At the heart of the newspaper�s mission is the same basic function that has existed since the first one: gathering news about our local communities and getting that information to the people who care most about it and have the most to gain from it.
Newspapers and the communities need one another.
The newspaper cannot exist without the support of the communities it serves. And our communities would be much worse off without the newspapers they use for the exchange of information.
As we embark on National Newspaper Week, share with us this celebration of the American newspaper. The newspaper is more than a daily habit. It is part of the community that strengthens and improves the community.

Carlson: Yo-Yo Ma brings injured Marine back to music
Last weekend, I found myself at the most moving musical performance I've ever seen. It was completely unexpected.
It happened at the Aspen Ideas Festival. Please don't roll your eyes at the thought of a Rocky Mountain version of Davos Man, that species of climber who jets to hard-to-reach places for frenzied networking, chilled chardonnay and competitive tweeting, all under the cover of intellectual edification. The heaviest lift of the day was deciding between "What Can Iraq Tell Us About the Future of Democracy in the Middle East?" and "The 21st Century Diplomatic Toolbox: Soft Power, Economic Statecraft, and Technology."
As I was weighing those options, grace intervened. On Friday morning, I decided against opening my mind to world peace and instead opened my eyes and ears to Yo-Yo Ma, the world's foremost cellist, who was appearing on a panel with the humdrum title "Arts, Veterans, and Health Care."
One reason to go was that I'd missed Ma's performance at the opening session. Friday's session wouldn't be an encore. Ma would be just one of four panelists answering a moderator's questions, Aspen's regulation format.
Still, Ma on any subject is better than a fellow from the Council on Foreign Relations. At the session, much of the talking was left to a U.S. Marine, Lance Cpl. Timothy Donley. He had been a guitar player until February 2012, when an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan took both legs, depriving him of a lap, and maimed an arm. Now, thanks to Ma and Musicorps, a group of volunteer professional musicians, Donley began singing with the famed cellist last year as he was recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
For Donley, who had locked himself away upon his return from Afghanistan, performing with Ma has been part of a long journey back to life, one without the career he planned or the family he hoped to have. At times, he thought he couldn't go on and resisted the extended hand of professional musicians who wanted to help. After many pleas, he finally said yes, began voice lessons, and his despair began to lift.
Ma was on the panel because of his decision to use his gift to do more than fill concert halls around the globe. Healing through music is why he's now as likely to be playing in Danville, Ky., and Akron, Ohio, as in Paris or Rome. As part of Musicorps — founded by the composer Arthur Bloom, who was also on stage — Ma helps give injured veterans something to live for through music. The group has done wonders with state-of-the-art prosthetics that allow a pianist who has lost a hand to play Beethoven.
Ma's been playing for 53 years — his "tiger parents" started his lessons at age 4. By age 7, he had played for President John F. Kennedy. As he entered middle age (here in the story, he pats his potbelly), he realized he could keep amassing wealth and honors — including 16 Grammys, the Glenn Gould Prize and the Presidential Medal of Freedom — or he could expand his commitment to helping others. He founded the Silk Road Project, which supports integrating art into life, a goal he also is pursuing as the 2013 artist-in-residence at the Aspen Institute.
This is how Ma found himself in a small auditorium in Aspen, sitting in a straight-backed chair, having discovered in the second half of his life a much deeper level of happiness. At the end of the discussion, Ma took up his cello, Bloom moved over to a piano, and Donley wheeled himself to the microphone. Ma played "America the Beautiful," Donley sang the second verse in his strong tenor voice, and then the audience joined in.
There is still a lot of pain in Donley's life. But today he feels richer than any Davos Man: "I'm a 21-year-old kid on stage with Yo-Yo Ma, right? How much better does it get?"
When the music stopped, there was a pause as the audience swallowed its tears, and then a standing ovation — for Donley for thriving, for Ma for playing and for themselves for having the good fortune to witness a moment of such unexpected joy.

Name of Project: A Day in the Life of Students/a photo journal
Goal: The goal of this project is for students to learn about a typical day in the life of other students similar in age from different parts of this country as well as other countries. We would like this to be done in photographs as we have really enjoyed looking at pictures of your communities. For this project, a student or students take pictures of a typical day for them. This can include the morning routine at home followed by the routine at school and then any after school programs or sporting events. It would also be nice to see what their routine at home is once their day is complete. It is my hope that students will find that we are all more similar than different in how we go about our day.
HOME AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DAY1. What does your bedroom look like in your home? Do you eat before you leave the house? Does your family sit down together for breakfast or is everyone in a hurry? What time does your day begin?
SCHOOL2. At school, what is your routine for the day? How many different classes do you have in one day? Do you have the same teacher all day or different teachers? What does your classroom look like? Do you use textbooks? It would be good to have a picture of each class you attend.
3. What do you do when the school day is over until you arrive back home?
HOME AT THE END OF THE DAY4. What are your rituals and routines at the end of the day until it is time for bed? Do families spend time together? Do you get home early or late? Do you eat a meal together? What time do you go to sleep on a typical day? Do you have any rituals before you go to bed? Is this time family time or do you communicate with friends even after you get home?
5. Do you do anything special on weekends? Do you observe holy days? If so, where? Are there special weekend activities you participate in on a regular basis?

Staff writer
Rachael Naerebout is taking her love for fishing and turning it into a bait and tackle store to open sometime mid-April near Marion Reservoir.
The store will be on her property 2 miles north of the reservoir on 230th Rd. She hopes to offer a full range of hunting and fishing supplies.
"There used to be places around the county where you could get different types of bait and hunting supplies," she said. "It's getting harder and harder to find. Getting ahold of bait is tricky, and we have to go out of town oftentimes to get all we need. This way there's one place people can go to get live bait and worms."
Naerebout and her husband both love to fish and hope the store will be a destination for others who enjoy the pastime.
"I want it to be a store to supply the things people want," she said. "I want and hope people to let me know what they want so we can stock it."
She said that if anyone has anything special they want her to stock to contact her via Facebook.
"Once the store opens we will have a suggestion sheet at the checkout counter so people can write what items they'd like to see on the shelves."
Her goal is to be at least partially open by mid-April and be fully operating by May, in time for summer camping and boating weather.
"We had been thinking about doing this for several years," she said. "After we moved closer to the reservoir I thought why not?"
She said the shop being so close to their home would allow her to get things done around the house and still be open when people need items. She said her two sons and husband will also help with the store, but she will be the main one running it.
"My husband is an avid hunter, so I'm not sure how often he'll be in the store," she said. "It'll be mostly me, but I'm pretty excited about it."

Stratospheric Ozone Layer Depletion and Recovery
NOAA's role as a steward of the atmospheric environment has enabled it to play a central role in enhancing our understanding of the ozone layer and ozone layer depletion, and in gauging the effectiveness of measures taken to restore the ozone layer to its original strength. NOAA is charged to track the amount of ozone in the stratosphere (referred to here as the "thickness" of the stratospheric ozone layer, and the atmospheric burden of ozone-depleting compounds and their alternatives. NOAA additionally provides fundamental studies of the atmosphere and atmospheric processes to further our understanding of stratospheric ozone depletion and of the potential for recovery the ozone layer.
Antarctic "ozone hole". Total ozone values are shown for high southern latitudes as measured by a satellite instrument. The dark regions over the Antarctic continent show the severe ozone depletion now found in every spring. Minimum values of total ozone inside the ozone hole are close to 100 Dobson units (DU) compared with normal springtime values of about 300 DU [...]. In late spring or early summer (November- December) the ozone hole disappears as ozone-depleted air is displaced and diluted by ozone-rich air from outside the ozone hole.
What is the Stratospheric Ozone Layer and Ozone Layer Depletion?
Most ozone is found in a layer more than 10 kilometers (6 miles) above the Earth. This stratospheric ozone layer prevents the Sun's harmful, high-energy radiation from reaching Earth's surface.
Ozone in the stratosphere is constantly being created and destroyed by the action of light and photochemistry. The thickness of the ozone layer depends upon the balance of many different processes. The accumulation of chlorofluorocarbons and other ozone-depleting gases in the atmosphere as a result of human activities have altered this balance so that the ozone layer has become depleted. The depletion has been dramatic over certain regions of the globe since the 1980s, such as above Antarctica during September- October, but is less severe in other regions.
Why is it important?
The ozone layer acts as a shield for the planet that prevents dangerous radiation from reaching the biosphere, where humans, plants, and animals reside. The small amount of this high energy, ultraviolet radiation that normally reaches Earth's surface is responsible for sunburn, skin cancer, cataracts, and damage to genetic material. The depletion of ozone in the ozone layer results in increased amounts of this damaging radiation reaching Earth's surface and an increased occurrence of these problems in humans and other living beings.

- 20 Questions and Answers About Ozone
What do we know about ozone depletion and recovery?
The stratospheric ozone layer has become substantially depleted throughout much of the globe since the 1980s because of enhanced human production and use of ozone- depleting chemicals, such as chlorofluorocarbons, halons, and others, during the 20th century. UV radiation increases in areas where the ozone layer has thinned. Ozone-depleting chemicals include those that contain chlorine or bromine and that are not easily removed from the atmosphere by chemical degradation or dissolution in clouds and rain. Atmospheric observations of these chemicals during the latter part of the 20th century showed dramatic increases that could be directly traced to the amounts produced by humans. By 1980, the amounts of chlorine and bromine from these chemicals soon far surpassed the smaller amounts of atmospheric chlorine and bromine arising from natural processes. The abnormally high quantities of atmospheric chlorine and bromine began altering the balance of ozone in the stratosphere so as to dramatically thin the ozone layer. Since the 1980s the most severe ozone layer depletion has been regularly observed over Antarctica during spring, when ozone levels drop by over 95% and UV radiation reaching Earth's surface increases substantially. Less intense depletion of ozone occurs above the Arctic and in mid-latitudes of both hemispheres.
Global total ozone changes. Global total ozone values decreased by an average of a few percent in the last two decades, as measured by satellite instruments. In the top panel, global ozone changes are compared with average global ozone found in the period of 1964 to 1980. Between 1980 and 2000, the largest decreases occurred following the volcanic eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991. In the 1997 to 2001 period global ozone was reduced by about 3% from the 1964- 1980 average.
In the bottom panel, ozone changes between 1980 and 2000 are compared for different latitudes. The largest decreases have occurred at the highest latitudes in both hemispheres because of the large winter/spring depletion in polar regions. The losses in the Southern Hemisphere are greater than those in the Northern Hemisphere because of the greater losses that occur each year in the Antarctic stratosphere. Long-term changes in the tropics are much smaller because reactive halogen gases are not abundant in the tropical lower stratosphere.
As a result of the discovery of ozone depletion and the scientific advances that delineated its causes, efforts to reduce the production, and ultimately the atmospheric concentrations, of ozone-depleting chemicals were begun in the late 1980s through the ratification of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer by many countries across the globe. This international Protocol and its subsequent revisions and amendments have resulted in a turnaround in the atmospheric abundance of most ozone-depleting chemicals. While atmospheric levels of ozone-depleting chemicals were rapidly increasing before the Protocol was ratified, emissions of nearly all of these chemicals have declined substantially and atmospheric levels of most of these gases have decreased in the intervening 2 decades.
Measurements show that depletion of the ozone layer steadily worsened during the 1980s and most of the 1990s, but more recently as atmospheric amounts of chlorine and bromine have stabilized, a further worsening of ozone depletion appears to have been avoided. In the mid-latitude stratosphere, for example, the decreases in the ozone layer seen in the 1980s and 1990s have not continued.
Continued declines in ozone-depleting gases are expected to allow for a recovery of the ozone layer, but not until the middle of the 21st century. The long time scale for this recovery arises because ozone depleting gases such as chlorofluorocarbons are only removed from the atmosphere by natural processes at very slow rates.
Halogen source gas changes. The rise in effective stratospheric chlorine values in the 20th century has slowed and reversed in the last decade (top panel). Effective chlorine values combine the measured or projected abundances of chlorine-containing gases with those of brominecontaining gases in a way that properly accounts for the greater effectiveness of bromine in depleting stratospheric ozone. As effective chlorine decreases in the 21st century, the potential for ozone depletion from halogen gases will also decrease. The decrease in effective chlorine values is a result of reductions in individual halogen source gas emissions. The emissions decreased because of the Montreal Protocol, which restricts production and consumption of manufactured halogen gases. The changes in the atmospheric abundance of individual gases are shown in the lower panels using a combination of direct atmospheric measurements, estimates of historical abundance, and future projections of abundance. The increases of CFCs, along with those of CCl4 and CH3CCl3, have either slowed significantly or reversed in the last decade. HCFCs, which are being used as CFC substitutes, will continue to increase in the coming decades. Some halon abundances will also grow in the future while current halon reserves are being depleted. Smaller relative decreases are expected for CH3Br in response to restrictions because it has substantial natural sources. CH3Cl has large natural sources and is not regulated under the Montreal Protocol.
What don't we know?
Progress continues on reducing atmospheric amounts of chlorine and bromine so as to allow for the recovery of the ozone layer. Continued declines in emissions of chlorine and bromine gases are necessary for a full recovery of the ozone layer- but will occur only with strict adherence to the restrictions outlined in the fully revised and amended Protocol. Furthermore, future levels of bromine and chlorine depend upon natural processes removing these gases from the atmosphere as they have in the past, despite changes in atmospheric temperatures, circulation, etc. Hence, there exists uncertainty in how the levels of bromine and chlorine will change in the future.
If by 2050 bromine and chlorine returned to the levels present in 1980 and every other aspect of the atmospheric environment were unchanged, we would expect a full recovery of the ozone layer. Other aspects (temperature, winds, etc.) of the atmospheric environment and chemicals other than halocarbons can also influence the ozone layer. Changes in these features have been observed and will undoubtedly continue to change in the future. Because the interactions between ozone, temperature, mixing rates, water vapor (and other chemicals) are complex and multi-faceted, accurate predictions of the future ozone layer's health in the face of predicted or unexpected changes are difficult. Changes in ozone depletion may also affect climate change, and many of the chemicals involved in ozone depletion and their substitutes also can influence climate. These interactions at this time are very uncertain. Efforts are currently underway to explore the range of potential future atmospheric conditions and how they might influence the health of the ozone layer.
What is NOAA's role?
NOAA is responsible for monitoring the stratospheric ozone layer and ozone-depleting gases and it plays a large role in making the fundamental measurements of other atmospheric variables (water vapor, nitrous oxide, aerosols, etc.) that influence the ozone layer. NOAA scientists are leading efforts in assessing alternative chemicals for possible use as replacements to ozone depleting gases through laboratory study. NOAA is also responsible for synthesizing this information to allow for a comprehensive picture of the ozone layer, its changes, and how it might change in the future.
As a result of these activities, NOAA has led the effort to guide the recovery of the ozone layer, to ensure the recovery proceeds as expected, and to note areas or action that might allow a faster recovery or hinder recovery. Measurements of ozone-depleting gases provide a means by which adherence to international protocols can be assessed. Measurements of ozone allow one to discern if the policy actions are having their desired effect. Studies of potential climate change effects (e.g., changes in temperature, circulation, or the abundance of other chemicals) allow for much less ambiguity in accurately attributing any observed changes in the ozone layer to their appropriate cause.
These NOAA activities constitute a large part of the global scientific effort to understand stratospheric ozone depletion and recovery. NOAA's scientists not only are involved in maintaining a large portion of the world air sampling and measurement network, but also provide the calibration necessary for an integrated network and serve on several advisory groups and expert committees for assuring quality control, improving understanding, and identifying future needs. Only through careful management and interpretation of accurate, high-resolution measurements can we manage our environmental resources efficiently and effectively.
What will we need to know in the future?
Ozone depletion is still at its peak-ozone levels in many regions of the global are as low as they have ever been. Indications of a recovery are beginning to be seen, though we've a long way to go before the problem can be regarded as solved.
- Continued monitoring and process studies of ozone and ozone-depleting gases are required if we hope to be able to discern if the ozone layer is recovering as expected, or whether additional actions are necessary to ensure the recovery of the ozone layer.
- Continued scientific advances in understanding processes and their simulation in atmospheric models are needed to understand how secondary influences will affect ozone. This is particularly important as the burdens of Cl and Br diminish. These include the influences of a changing climate, altered air mixing and transport rates, energy exchange, and changes in the composition of the atmosphere (e.g., water vapor, methane, nitrous oxide, aerosols, etc.), all of which can influence stratospheric ozone.
- Only through additional study and incorporation in improved models will we accurately predict how the interplay of the multitude of factors affecting stratospheric ozone layer will respond to declines in chlorine and bromine.
What are the benefits for society of NOAA's activities?
NOAA's activities are focused on ensuring a recovery of the ozone layer so that it once again provides protection to all life from the Sun's harmful UV radiation. These activities can guarantee that the efforts heal the ozone layer stay on course and do not become sidetracked by unknown and unforeseen events or occurrences. Through its meticulous monitoring of the atmospheric composition and scientific expertise in understanding processes and modeling, as well as the search for CFC alternatives, NOAA provides much of the global scientific foundation for understanding the ozone layer and its changes.

For the second straight year, the Crew opened the season on the road with a two-goal loss.
Last year, a 3-1 defeat at D.C. United wasn't a foreshadowing of things to come. The Crew rebounded to post four straight shutouts and eventually made the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season, although they were eliminated by Colorado – the same club that defeated them Saturday night – in both years.
With that in mind, revenge might have been a motivating factor heading into Saturday's game at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. If it was, it wasn't enough to turn the tide as the Crew lost to the Rapids 2-0.
"We have to be more aggressive," Columbus coach Robert Warzycha told MLSsoccer.com in a phone conversation after the match. "We were late to the balls all game."
Beyond the scoreline, it was an ominous start for the Crew.
Midfielder and US Olympic hopeful Dilly Duka left the match in the 12th minute with an apparent hamstring injury.
"I think he could be out for awhile," Warzycha said. "I don't know if it would have made a difference, but [Duka] would have put us in good position to score."
Also, captain Chad Marshall, who has a long history of concussions, went to the sideline early in the match after a knock to the head, but returned and was the Crew's most effective offensive threat with several good headers.
Otherwise, Columbus were goal-challenged in part because of an inexperienced midfield. Rookie Kirk Urso got the start in defensive midfield and first-round SuperDraft pick Ethan Finlay replaced Duka.
"I think they felt some pressure," Warzycha said. "They had some good moments, but they also had some bad moments."
The match also marked the debut of two high-profile offseason acquisitions. Midfielder Milovan Mirosevic went the distance and had a 30th-minute shot saved by Rapids goalkeeper Matt Pickens. Forward Olman Vargas came on for midfielder Tony Tchani for the final 23 minutes.
Mirosevic, who was fouled four times, and Vargas, who suffered one, each received yellow cards as welcoming gifts to MLS.
"Milo was probably fouled five or six times, so he couldn't let it go. The same with Vargas," Warzycha said. "It's a good sign. The guys are fighting and aren't going to be pushed around."
The Crew have two weeks to regroup for the home opener March 24 against the Montreal Impact.
"We have to figure it out," Warzycha said. "We will."

These days, it's easy to forget Northstar was once a Tahoe underdog. Especially when après-ski—after you soared down "seamless groomers," riffled through powdery woods and hit one of the ultra-hip terrain parks—means getting bubbled by jets in a two-person copper tub at the Ritz-Carlton spa while gazing at big vistas.
Not feeling so ritzy? Enjoy a few drafts around the firepits at the Overlook while the kids skate for free in the Village. Dinner? Epicureans like Manzanita, where San Fran power chef Traci Des Jardins might just visit to admit "I became a chef because I thought it would be a good way to support my dream of being a ski bum."
Bums whose lifestyles involve less foie gras, however, appreciate slices from Rubicon—and the value-priced "Stay and Ski Free" deals. In other words, Northstar's trademarked ethos of delivering "a good day" to all and finding fresh ways to do it is working. While some dislike the trek from parking to Village to the actual skiing—and lovers of true double-blacks still should go elsewhere—more converts love the innovative ways this "mellow mountain" turned "top notch resort" delivers great times to many different styles of skiers. Think Beaver Creek meets Deer Valley with a come-one-come-all California attitude. —S.R.

A woman spat and pulled the hair of police officers as they tried to arrest her for being drunk and disorderly, a court heard.
Anna Varetto, of Coral Grove, Leigh, was arrested after officers found her lying down in the doorway of a club in the town and concluded she was drunk.
They tried to help her up but the 23-year-old became aggressive and began pushing an officer away from her with her foot.
Ann Deakin, prosecuting, said: "As a result she was arrested. While in custody she was searched by a female detention officer. The defendant grabbed the officer's hair so hard that she pulled several clumps from her scalp. She also assaulted another officer by spitting in her face and on her clothes."
The court heard Varetto had been diagnosed with a borderline personality disorder last year and had been drinking to cope with the condition while she waited for treatment.
The probation service said she could not remember the incident and black-outs were typical of the condition, especially when coupled with the alcohol she had consumed.
Her condition meant Varetto struggled to maintain relationships and drank because it gave her confidence to go out and socialise, the court heard. Varetto had not drunk since the incident and was working to achieve abstinence with alcohol services.
Bob Toppin, defending, said: "She is a very pleasant young woman to deal with. I don't know how you measure remorse but if you could I could offer you gallons.
"She is humiliated. I don't think I have ever represented anyone more embarrassed about an incident and of losing her good name.
But out of the incident there has been a wake-up call. When I told her she spat at an officer she was absolutely appalled.
"It is never an excuse but people can become dramatically different after consuming a great deal of alcohol."
Varetto was given a 12 week community order with a 7pm to 7am curfew. She must pay £75 compensation to each officer, £85 costs and an £85 victim surcharge.

A lot of people don't realize that many shampoos, moisturizers, and another cosmetics are still tested on animals. Fortunately a new act, the Humane Cosmetics Act, would relegate animal testing for cosmetics to the history books.
H.R. 4148 would prohibit animal testing for cosmetics manufactured or sold in the U.S., and would ending painful tests on countless rabbits, mice, rats, and guinea pigs. Safe cosmetics can be made from thousands of existing ingredients. Plus, several non-animal safety tests are available for new ingredients. These non-animal alternatives are quick, safe, cost-effective, and often more reliable than animal-model testing.
The European Union and Israel have already phased out cosmetics animal testing, and we can too!
Please make a brief, polite phone call to your U.S. representative and urge him or her to support H.R. 4148. You can find your rep's name here.
Tell your rep: "I'm a constituent and I urge you to co-sponsor H.R. 4148 if you haven't already done so. This bill would prohibit animal testing for cosmetics manufactured or sold in the U.S."
After making your phone call (please do not skip that crucial step!), please send a personalized letter. The Humane Society of the United States has more information and a form that will help you to automatically send a message.

Dr. Koike's primary focus will be on technology and Fab operations at SanDisk's flash wafer development and manufacturing facility at Yokkaichi, where SanDisk has a strategic partnership with Toshiba
With more than 20 years of experience managing the development of emerging technologies on the corporate level, Dr. Koike, 53, will report to Dr. Randhir Thakur, executive vice president of technology and worldwide operations. SanDisk, through its partnership with Toshiba, has been the largest foreign investor in leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing in Japan in the past few years.
Dr. Koike will oversee the operation of SanDisk's existing investments at Yokkaichi and the development of Fab 4, a new joint venture between SanDisk and Toshiba called Flash Alliance, Ltd. Fab 4 is expected to be one of the largest and most advanced semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the world during the second half of this decade.
"Dr. Koike is a person of high integrity, who is widely known and respected internationally as an industry leader," said Dr. Thakur. "His ability to build and lead strong teams will be a great asset to SanDisk as we expand our presence in Japan with these new production facilities. We are excited to have him overseeing SanDisk's portion of this state-of-the-art NAND flash manufacturing complex. Dr. Koike's joining SanDisk to lead our Japan activities is a strong confirmation of SanDisk's long-term commitment to return semiconductor manufacturing in Japan to a world-class leadership status in the coming years."
Mark Hornstra, SDKK representative director and managing director, will retain responsibility for SanDisk's retail and OEM business in Japan.
Before joining SanDisk (Japan) Limited, Dr. Koike was a corporate chief engineer at Renesas Technology. Prior to that, he was President and CEO of Trecenti Technologies, Inc., the first 300mm wafer manufacturing company for volume production. He led his engineering team to successfully implement full single-wafer processing and dramatically reduced cycle time for both volume production and prototype manufacturing. He also served as chairman of J300E, a Japan consortium to standardize 300mm technologies, and closely worked with I300I and SEMATECH.
Previous to Trecenti, he held various management positions at the Semiconductor Division of Hitachi Ltd. for more than 20 years. These included general manager of the Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology Center. He started his career as a dry etching process engineer with Hitachi.
Dr. Koike earned B.S. and M.S. degrees in material science from Waseda University, Japan, and a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Tohoku University, Japan.
SanDisk is the original inventor of flash storage cards and is the world's largest supplier of flash data storage card products, using its patented, high-density flash memory and controller technology.

One of the daily challenges faced by the Royal Opera House's make-up artists is the need to conceal visible tattoos sported by singers, dancers and actors appearing onstage. Opera team leader Mathias Nacke and technician Cecilia Öberg shared some of their secrets.
'There are two products that we use, depending on what the artist is going to be doing onstage. Dermacolor is like a very thick foundation, and is sometimes used medically, to camouflage discoloration, birthmarks or scarring. It's expensive – a professional palette costs around £90 – but you can blend it to match any skin tone. It works well for performers who are not going to be moving too much onstage or getting close to other people – otherwise it can transfer onto costumes or rub off on other performers. It can be removed with an oil-based cleanser.
'For artists who are going to be moving a lot on stage, such as dancers, we need to use a waterproof product. Skin Illustrator is alcohol-based, and once it's dry it's sweat proof and won't rub off without an alcohol-based cleanser. It's even more expensive than Dermacolor – about £120 a palette – and is definitely a product that should only be used by professional make-up artists.'
This feature was adapted from a piece originally featured in About the House magazine, received quarterly by the Friends of Covent Garden.
