I have been using a wacom tablet with ArcGIS for the past 5 years and have found it to be incredibly useful. I have only used the Intuous 3 (A4) but the ability to program the 8 shortcut keys as well as the trackpads has saved countless repetitive hand trips to the keyboard - and when you are capturing a lot of little areas of data this can be quite some ...
You can customize the attribute editing to various data types (predefined lists, a range of values or a date). Select a layer. Right-click > Properties. In the Properties window, click the Field tab. Select any field you want your pre-defined classes. The Value Map option will ask for your pre-defined classification values. When you start adding ...
You should be using "Add Ring" tool to create a hole in the polygon. Just Select the "Add Ring" tool and digitize a hole inside the polygon. It will remove that part and create a hole.
This should do it and is a little simpler than the examples in the online help for UpdateCursor which is nevertheless worth a read. I've assumed your shapefile is in a folder called C:\temp and that structuretype is an integer field. If it is a text field just use "3" and "4" instead of 3 and 4. import arcpy features = arcpy.UpdateCursor(r"C:\temp\...
Take a look to OpenLayers for client side, it offers in a simply way all you seems need. As previously suggest to you by Dassouki, take a look to the example page: http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/ find for 'edit' For example: http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/editingtoolbar.html For server side I personally bet for OS project, IMO they are ...
Right-click the feature class in ArcCatalog and go to the Properties. In the Feature Extent tab, click on Recalculate. And voilà! I'm using ArcGIS 10.2.1
The best way is to convert this shape file to file-geodatabase and build the topology in ArcGIS for "Must Not Gaps" and "Must Not Overlap". Important thing in building topology is cluster tolerance. This is tolerance in which topology will remove/fix errors automatically after validating. So you should select this tolerance very carefully as big values can ...
Since you're not worried about simultaneous edits on features, I'd say that in theory you have nothing to worry about. The main danger w/ QGIS is that simultaneous editors can stomp on each other's edits without noticing ("last edit wins"). For data under active editing with multiple users you might want to at least keep track of history, which you can do w/...
Yes. Below is the default editor sample tweaked to use the Popup. Create a Popup, pass it to the map's constructor and then place the Popup's dom node as a child of the map. <!doctype html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=...
There are several steps I use. Ensure you are Data View NOT in Layout View (thanks MW) is easiest but don't necessarily try it second. copy the layer you need to edit, snap to and use for reference (as few as possible) to another document (for editing). make sure you don't have a definition query.
In the documentation, it is alluded to that you cannot edit data in a SQLite database from ArcMap: You can connect from ArcGIS to an SQLite database to create maps and perform spatial analysis on your data. However, the only place this appears to be explicitly stated by Esri is in the ArcGIS Discussion Forum: Yes; you cannot edit data in a SQLite ...
Generally, I also recommend using the spatial ecology tools as discussed by blah238. However, another method you could try would be to add an attribute called Random to store a random number: Then, using the field calculator on that attribute, with the Python Parser, use the following codeblock: import random def rand(): return random.random() See ...
"I tried 'integrate' already. It worked in terms of removing gaps, but also generalized all polygons according to specified cluster tolerance." The question is whether you want to keep the 'Grey' polygons separated as they are now. In order to NOT generalize the boundaries you might have to do this the long way, you could Union -> Spatially Select ...
You can accomplish this with a combination of QGIS and GRASS. Import your vector layer into a GRASS mapset ( Grass | File > Import Vector Data ) Open your mapset in QGIS ( QGIS | Plugins > GRASS > Open mapset ) Add vector layer from your GRASS mapset to your QGIS project ( QGIS | Plugins > GRASS > Add GRASS vector layer ) Use v.clean.snap ( QGIS | Plugins >...
GDAL/OGR has python bindings and a FileGDB driver, but it requires the FileGDB API SDK from ESRI (not free, but AFAIK free of charge).
Use the Plugins>Fetch Python Plugins and select: Rectangles, Ovals and Diamonds Edit your layer (polygon) and select a feature to rotate - click and hold on the edge and the shape will rotate.
In Snapping Options (Settings menu) enable snapping (better snapping to vertex only in your case as suggested in comments) for your layer, then using Split feature tool make a left click on the one blank space on side of the line, then make left click on the vertex where the split should occur and in the end make a right click on the blank space on the other ...
By default CSV layers cannot be edited. You have to save to a different format, e.g. Shapefile, before you can start editing. Update 2015-11: There's a new plugin that solves this issue called Editable GeoCSV. It can handle x and y columns for points or a WKT column. For more details see http://giswiki.hsr.ch/Editable_GeoCSV_QGIS_Plugin
Here's a python function that will select random features in a layer based on percent, ignoring current selection: def SelectRandomByPercent (layer, percent): #layer variable is the layer name in TOC #percent is percent as whole number (0-100) if percent > 100: print "percent is greater than 100" return if percent < 0: ...
If I understood you correctly, you have to move the selection anchor first: use edit tool and hold down the CTRL key drag selection anchor to the corner of your borderline More information in ArcGIS Help.
The location coordinates of your feature are stored in a geometry/shape field in the attribute table, not a text readable field you can adjust. You can store the coordinates as attributes, but they won't actually control where the point is. There are a few ways to address this: First, you could just make a table/spreadsheet/csv of your coordinate pairs. ...
Have you seen the SQL Spatial Tools from Sharp GIS? Or did you have more advanced requirements?
You are in for a world of hurt (but I know that part of the answer doesn't help). If you don't mind the reduced speed - put it on a network share where only a few users have write permissions to the file and the others only have read. From ESRI-L (in the comment below) Give all users full file permissions to the folder (allowing them to create, read and ...
I assume you are wanting to join two line segments into one line. This is how I did it ... Enable editing. Turn on snapping ( Settings -> Snapping Options ... ) Select the node node tool. Double click close to the end of one of the lines to add a node. Drag the node at the end to snap onto the the end of the other line Select both lines Merge their ...
'Long integer' won't produce decimals. Try floating point. For reference, this wiki link lists types of numbers.
The coordinates in the attribute table are numeric values that are not linked with the geometry. If you want to create a large number of points with exact coordinates, I suggest that you create a table with those coordinates, then use create an XY table event that you can merge with your existing shapefile. If you need to move just a few points, then ...
You can do this by selecting the drop down beside the trace tool in your Editor toolbar and selecting the right angle option as shown in the image below.
To revert to the ArcGIS 9 editing environment: "The setting is found in the Advanced ArcMap Settings utility, located in the \Utilities directory where you installed ArcGIS." From http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Reverting_to_the_ArcGIS_9_editing_environment/001t00000013000000/
In GRASS GIS, you can use v.edit's snap tool. snap: Snap vector features in given threshold There are options to snap to a node or a vertex.
I use mine all the time with ArcGIS Desktop. The learning curve isn't as steep as you'd think. It becomes much more natural to draw on the canvas than trying to use a mouse. I've noticed that ArcGIS 10 seems designed for the Wacom tablets so it makes it very easy to work with. My productivity goes up using the Wacom tablet, the quality of my work goes up ...

Shame to read that the dub's voice actors don't see to be up to the performance, and that the subtitles didn't show much effort.
Do you mean Carrie Savage's Hakufu? Or Cherami's character, Bachou?

|Though I don't like the Lab comment (Black Labs/mixes) because their my favorite animal (besides woman), it could be referring to the fact that many people might take fan service shows seriously because essentially T&A is their main purpose. Also, I don't think a person should exactly expect a fan service show's Eng. dub to be on the same level of a show like Bebop, FMA/FMA:B, AoT, etc.

I do like ikkitousen, but I just watched senran kagura, and I have to say I enjoyed it a lot better, mostly because the girls are cuter and more beautifull. I also think it looks nicer in general, and it has a bit of a storyline and some very cool action and humor to boot(y). I find it more attractive then ikkitousen, but that´s just my personal opinion.
I do believe every fan of ecchi and/or every true otaku in general should some day watch the classic first season of ikkitousen tough, being as famous as it is ^^

Was it intentional to have trashy, violent and sleaze(y) as both + and -?
For this show they would be positives for me because that is what I expect, and want, from Ikki Tousen.
The review confirmed that this is pretty much what I expected it to be.
I have not seen Great Guardians or XX yet, but I am looking forward to both of them.
They seem like good (relatively speaking) additions to the franchise.

Everything gets boring if it goes on long enough. That includes sleazy violent trash.
It seems to me that each season past the first never really captured or extended what the first season had. There was a sense of mystery and remoteness of the "enemy" schools that is just gone from seeing too much of it. Also the Hakafu character doesn't work as well as it used to -- the total ditz vessel of invincible power who is terrified of her mother even though she trolls her. Lastly, the artwork degenerated after the first season.
If they do another season I doubt I'll watch it.
ha ha.

Hi Gary,I would go with Phil's suggestion for Lithium grease. Unless you plan to use the legs under water, and under high pressure, in which case I would follow the lead of the scuba techs .The important thing is that the grease last a long time and not evaporate, and not thin out and drip down the legs. Lithium grease seems to fit the bill.I think photos would be helpful! There are at least two "How To" Gitzo cleaning guides on the net, but targeting the older models. It would be nice to have high res close-ups of the leg bushing setup for the newer 6x collars. A lot of people are confused about how the new collars disassemble and reassemble.After two years my GT3541LS legs are getting a bit sticky. I need to spend an evening doing this chore myself . Compared to my older G1228 I got a lot of mileage out of my legs before needing this, and I shoot around salt water a lot. I think (in my case) it is accumulated salt residue that causes the stickiness.

Much appreciated Neil,I will now try and source some white lithium grease here in Australia,I have a bit on my plate ATM but will photograph each step when I get started, first find the grease!I have been in extreme heat and very dusty and sandy areas so I guess it all takes it toll, as for the salt, even though I have accidental insurance, I would hate everything to topple into the water, even the head for that matter,At least this project wont fly away Regards,Gary
#7. "RE: Servicing a Gitzo?" | In response to Reply # 6
In the USA Lithium grease is sold in hardware and automotive stores.My issue was not salt water immersion, but I think the long term settling of salt air on the legs. Dust and sand is even tougher though. A little TLC every now and then should get it back to new

Tks for the heads-up Phil,I have tracked down some this morning, (my time),Not sure if it is white yet but being delivered tomorrow,As long it is not black, I guess it will be OK,If the grease I ordered does not look the best, will go to a bicycle shop,Regards,Gary
#12. "RE: Servicing a Gitzo?" | In response to Reply # 10
The Gitzo grease supplied with newer tripods is black.I'm trying to say that this grease is not rocket science. All it does is make the collars turn a bit more smoothly and maybe minimize corrosion. This is not a wheel bearing in your automobile or some other machine part doing 2000 RPM .Whatever you ordered is probably fine . If you use it (sparingly!) and have trouble with it dripping or oozing out the collar then you may want a thicker grease, for example.
#14. "RE: Servicing a Gitzo?" | In response to Reply # 12
Tks Neil,I agree about the rocket science comparison, initially, I was inquiring just in case carbon fiber or parts supplied with the Gitzo had a "reaction" problem,Further research has found that lithium grease is most probably the best option for the job, especially the large temperature range it can be used for which should deter locking-up or becoming too softWe had a national holiday today. Anzac Day), to remember our fallen soldiersI should have the grease in a day or so, then the fun begins Will gladly show some images of the progress, (low res, D700 only 12mp )> NeilDo you think a separate thread for the process with the images?Regards,Gary

Slow connectionSorry for the double post
#16. "RE: Servicing a Gitzo?" | In response to Reply # 15
What double post ? Yes, a separate tear down thread would be perfect. We'll keep this one to advanced grease chemistry Good point about the temp variations. That is along the lines of my drip comment. Wasn't thinking about the cold end, though.However, in the future I think that only 24 or 36 mpx images are acceptable, even for web size documentary photos for something like a tripod tear down. We have our standards here.(that from a photographer bound and determined, for once, to actually wear out a DSLR (his D700D300) and not succumb to the latest and greatest )I know, resistance is futile, but so far I'm on track with that plan! We'll see how I'm doing next week!We need a 12 step program for this. In a separate thread, of course!
#17. "RE: Servicing a Gitzo?" | In response to Reply # 16
Tks Neil,As would have it,The grease was shipped in from out of town,Your guess is right, wrong stuff! It was lithium spray!The supplier was very apologetic, and hopefully, the "real" stuff will arrive soonWhile I am waiting, I am also going to take a trip to one of our larger bicycle shops tomorrowNext time I will look for some "unobtainium" in advance Yes I determined to get some, because, in 12 months time I will have a good idea of how the lithium grease is performing, Nikonians will be the first to know if it does not cope with our (Aust), temperatures, I don't have to deal with snow but our summers will sure be a testRegards,Gary

Library JournalArguing that "the disappearance or death of God is a substantial part of this century's philosophical and literary legacy," Friedman (Hebrew, comparative literature, Univ. of California, San Diego) probes what he calls three mysteries: the gradual disappearance of God in the Hebrew scriptures, a topic recently considered by Jack Miles in his God: A Biography (LJ 3/1/95), a book Friedman refers to approvingly; Nietzsche's dictum, "God is dead," relating it admirably to the works of Dostoyevsky and the problem of ethics without God; and the mysticism of the Kabbalah and the Big Bang theory. Avoiding the type of Zen and... approach that degrades both religion and science, Friedman offers a credible discussion of contemporary physics and the return of the divine, doing no disservice to either but actually enhancing the relationship between them. For general readers as well as specialists.Augustine J. Curley, Newark Abbey, N.J.
Disapperance Of God, Theby Richard Elliott Friedman
Friedman probes a chain of mysteries that concern the presence or absence of God, including the connection between Nietzsche and Dostoevsky who each independently developed the idea of the death of God.

Editorial Reviews
Steve Schroeder"The Disappearance of God", at once scholarly and popularly accessible, is packed with wonderful insights into scriptural narrative, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, and cabala. Friedman notes that the narrative structure of Hebrew Scripture is marked by a disappearance of God--God's hiding of God's face to see what our end will be--that corresponds to an increasingly important role for human beings, a "coming of age" in Bonhoeffer's apt and often cited phrase. Each of the three parts of the book addresses a mystery related to the title (the disappearance of God in Hebrew Scripture, the death of God and madness in Nietzsche, and the relationship of religion to science), but it is the one mystery of the title, the disappearance of God, that binds the whole together. The disappearance is akin to what Thomas Sheehan earlier referred to as "the absolute absence of God," and it points Friedman toward a concluding moral reflection in which he maintains (as does cabala) that the structure of morality inheres in the structure of the universe. God's absolute absence is a paradoxical revelation: "There is some likelihood that the universe is the hidden face of God."

Vitriol, thy name is Akinori Iwamura.
The former Tampa Bay Rays second baseman, ensconced as a $4.85 million player in Pittsburgh since the Pirates traded for him this winter, is mostly hitting leadoff, was an intriguing deep-league fantasy sleeper before the season began, and has poisoned the well. If you've owned Iwamura on your NL-only or deep-mixed-league team these first two months, you need very little provocation to insert curse words between the man's first and last names.
Yet as we close out May, Iwamura is a poster child for the luckless player who will, almost certainly, turn things around. Granted, even in the best of times he's not a great mixed-league option; the last time he played a full season, he posted a .274 batting average with six homers and 48 RBIs. But check this out: Iwamura's batting average on balls in play (BABIP) so far in '10 is an impossible .187. That means when he actually hits the ball into fair territory, he's gotten a hit just 18.7 percent of the time. That's nuts. By way of context (and more on this in a moment), Iwamura's career BABIP, including 2010, is .331. The way his luck is running right now, you could put nine blind guys out in the field and the ball would still find their gloves.
By way of context, last season exactly one player (Ian Kinsler) finished with a BABIP below .250 (his was .241). Two seasons ago, four players (Paul Konerko, Kevin Millar, Mark Ellis and Nick Swisher) were below .250, though the lowest of those BABIPs was .244. This awful luck from Iwamura won't last. Provided the sore hamstring that limited him last week doesn't become a lingering issue, he will start hitting baseballs that actually find turf. He will start scoring runs. And he will, probably, steal double-digit bases.
Of course, for batters, BABIP isn't a be-all and end-all statistic. While the average major leaguer's BABIP resides somewhere around .300, it's important to realize that there are many, many exceptions to this mean. Many players (often speedsters) post career BABIPs of around .320. And many other players (often lumbering thumpers) never see their career BABIPs climb above .280. So don't look at a player's BABIP by itself; always compare his current BABIP to his career number. By that reasoning, it's a lot more sensible to expect a 2010 bounce-back from Derrek Lee ('10 BABIP: .250; career BABIP: .321) than it is Carlos Quentin ('10 BABIP: .225; career BABIP: .252). With that in mind, here are the 10 players whose current BABIPs are below .250 who have the biggest "delta" from their career BABIPs. As a result, these are batters you'd most expect to produce much higher levels from this point forward (and who accordingly make good buy-low candidates). And please note that all statistics are through the games of Sunday, May 23:
Data courtesy of FanGraphs.com
While we're on the subject of unlucky hitters, let's see if we can find some other candidates: batters who "should" have more homers than they currently do. What we want here is fly-ball hitters who aren't hitting homers at nearly their career rates, under the assumption that at some point, they'll advance to their more typical homer-per-fly-ball (HR/FB) rates. If you can pick up or deal for players who fit this description, you may be able to make a dent in power-category deficits.
For the purpose of this exercise, I looked at batters who've hit fly balls at least 35 percent of the time they put a ball in play in 2010; historically, this isn't an absolute mandate for a power hitter (Joe Mauer hit 28 dingers last year while hitting fly balls "only" 29.5 percent of the time), but it's a pretty generous rule of thumb and we have to put a stake in the ground somewhere. Then I looked at the "delta" between each player's current HR/FB rate and their career HR/FB:
Data courtesy of FanGraphs.com
This isn't a guarantee that each of these guys is going to hit 30 taters the rest of the way. Far from it. There are sometimes very understandable reasons for a player deviating substantially from his career HR/FB rate. In the case of Sizemore, we can assume it's because he's been injured. Maybe with Bay it's the change to a non-homer-friendly home ballpark. (It's worth noting that Bay was tops on this list until Sunday night, when he blasted two dingers against the Yankees.) With Helton and Chipper Jones, maybe they've simply become different players near the ends of their long careers. Nevertheless, I absolutely expect most of the players on this list to make up for two months of relatively poor power with some bopping production, and soon. And considering that each of them appears on both of my "unlucky" hitting lists, the two guys you might most want to acquire are Cubs teammates Aramis Ramirez and Derrek Lee. Better times are ahead for those guys.
Now, while we're on the "luck analysis" kick, let's turn our attention to starting pitchers. In my experience, the best numbers to sniff out bad luck for underperforming starters are BABIP and strand rate. Because pitchers face a wide variety of hitters whose BABIPs average out to around .300, we can expect the average starting pitcher to post a BABIP of .300; pitchers whose BABIPs are substantially below .300 have been lucky, while pitchers with BABIPs way above .300 have been unlucky. By way of context, in 2009 only five starters (Aaron Harang, Jason Hammel, Ricky Nolasco, Carl Pavano and Derek Lowe) featured BABIPs of .330 or higher, and none of those were above .340. In recent years, we occasionally have seen a pitcher sit as high as .350, but it's rare. Here are the "unluckiest" pitchers so far in '10, at least by way of BABIP:
Data courtesy of FanGraphs.com
I'll grant you that Harang's presence on this list both in '09 and '10 gives one pause, and I'm not ready to say the guy isn't just a meatball machine in a bunch of his outings. But there are some good fantasy pitchers here. Beckett is on the DL, of course, but his velocity has mostly been fine, and there's an argument to be made that he's been more unlucky than terrible (though that 7.29 ERA certainly is an eye-opener). Shields, Slowey, Floyd, Matusz these are good pitchers who have probably deserved better; right now, neither Slowey nor Floyd nor Matusz resides inside the top 75 starting pitchers on ESPN.com's Player Rater, while Shields, remarkably, has been the No. 13 starter in fantasy. Man, how well has that guy pitched, to be able to overcome his poor BABIP luck?
Finally, strand rate is another number that tends to regress to the league average. Strand rate is the percentage of baserunners a pitcher leaves on base. Some folks swear that certain pitchers are unilaterally more effective when the bases are packed with runners, but statistical analysis generally indicates that this isn't true; in general, around 71 percent of runners are stranded. While there definitely are some pitchers who will consistently deviate north or south of that number, they don't typically deviate by massive amounts. Extreme midseason outliers tend toward correction; starters with strand rates well below 71 percent tend to see that number climb (i.e., more runners stranded) as they become "luckier," and starters with strand rates well above 71 percent tend to experience the opposite. (For instance, Livan Hernandez's strand rate is currently 97.5 percent. I'll go out on a limb and say that won't continue for the rest of '10.) Here, then, are the "unlucky outliers" so far this season:
Data courtesy of FanGraphs.com
I'll leave you with this thought: if a starting pitcher appears on both these lists, I feel relatively comfortable things are going to even out for him soon. Last year, my poster child for this analysis was Ricky Nolasco; even as the Florida Marlins were sending him to the minors because his top-line numbers looked awful, I was calling him a wise buy-low target (or free-agent pickup), and in the second half of '09, he went 7-2 with a 4.39 ERA, a 1.12 WHIP and 105 strikeouts in 94 1/3 innings. Last Friday, I went on TV and called Floyd my favorite buy-low in baseball right now, then he had to go out Saturday and whiff seven and allow one run in 6 1/3 innings, making my endorsement of him here look like Monday morning quarterbacking. But regardless, Floyd, Beckett and, yes, even Lohse and Feldman look undervalued right now. I expect all of them to grow "luckier" soon.

Great moist, spongy muffins. Love the flavor and how easy they were to put together. These stay in perfect condition for days after having been made. ZWT6
I have been making these muffins for over 30 years. This is a recipe from Elizabeth Alston's lovely book Muffins: Sixty Sweet and Savory Recipes ... From Old Favorites To New (Clarkson Potter, 1985). They are wonderful for brunch with fruit and a salad. These muffins will stick to any baking surface. You'll be very disappointed if you don't use foil liners.
These moist, savory muffins were a great combo with Swedish Scrambled Eggs for a light lunch today! Thanks for posting Michelle. Made for Zwizzle Chicks for ZWT6.

The Airhunterz Zip-Bak Bow is a foam arrow shooter in red, black, and camouflage colors. Kids love shooting arrows, but current safety regulations have meant that manufacturers can't make traditional bows with a long string. Zing Toys cleverly solves the problem by creating elastic loops and placing hooks on the foam arrows that make it easy for kids to draw back an arrow to send it flying. Just hook the arrow onto the elastic loops, pull back on the arrow, and release. Kids will be able to shoot the arrows up to 95 feet. The Airhunterz Zip-Bak Bow comes with two arrows: one with a suction cup tip so that it sticks to anything and another called a bounce-back arrow that will hit a target and bounce right off.
The Airhunterz Zip-Bak Bow gives kids the competitive fun of shooting a bow and arrow but in a safe way. With an easy-to-use bow and soft arrows, the Airhunterz Zip-Bak Bow is all about safe and classic outdoor fun.
The Airhunterz Zip-Bak Bow is for ages 8 and up.
Do not grab the arrows by the fins. You must grab them by the tail.
We thought that this was the best performing of the Zing bows, though they're all great.
The Airhunterz Zip-Bak Bow is also available in a blue and orange Air Storm version.
We recommend that adults supervise children when playing with the Zip-Bak Bow. Set guidelines on what is an appropriate target—no aiming at people or faces or at animals.

M.S.Ed. students range from recent college graduates to career-changers to young professionals with a few years' experience in higher education.
Led by Dr. Shaun Harper, Executive Director of the Center for the Study of Race and Equity in Education, the White House Summit on Educational Excellence brought over 400 educators, public officials, community members, and students to Penn to address ways to increase the number of Black youth who graduate from high school, and to empower attendees to prepare students for future success.
Exec Doc in Higher Education Management alumnus Thomas Bullock believes that one caring adult in student's life can forever change the course of their future. For the past two decades, Bullock has been that caring adult for more than two dozen students at The Georgetown Institute of College Preparation. Nearly every one of his students goes on to graduate high school and pursue to higher education.
The Center partnered with Salzburg Global Seminar and Educational Testing Service to host a five-day seminar from Oct. 11-16, in Salzburg, Austria. The director of the Penn Center for Minority Serving Institutions, Dr. Marybeth Gasman, co-chaired the first global meeting for colleges and universities serving traditionally marginalized students.
The U.S. must close persistent gaps in educational attainment among families from different income levels in order to remain globally competitive, but the growing reliance on student loans to pay the costs of higher education carries important downsides, according to a recent editorial in "The Hill" by Higher Education Division Chair and Penn AHEAD Director Dr. Laura Perna. The op-ed outlines key individual and economic consequences of the increasing reliance on student loans, and provides evidence-supported recommendations for federal policymakers.
While many look to the federal government for providing financial aid to increase college access, states are responsible for the lion's share of policies for raising the educational attainment of their populations. An article in "Inside Sources" by Professors Laura Perna and Joni Finney of the Penn GSE Higher Education Division stresses the need for state policy leadership, drawing from their in-depth examination of state policies presented in their 2014 book The Attainment Agenda: State Policy Leadership for Higher Education.

1. Introduction
[2] Carbon monoxide (CO) is emitted primarily from incomplete combustion during the burning of biomass/biofuel and fossil fuel, and is also the product of the oxidation of atmospheric hydrocarbons [Bergamaschi et al., 2000; Brenninkmeijer et al., 1999; Logan et al., 1981]. It is a chemically important trace gas in the atmosphere, and influences the oxidation capacity of the troposphere through reaction with the hydroxyl radical (OH) [Novelli, 1999; Novelli et al., 1992]. Because of its boundary layer sources and its lifetime of up to several months, CO can be used as a tracer for lower-tropospheric pollution and its transport to higher levels. Regular ground based measurements of CO are conducted at many locations around the world, importantly the NOAA and World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Global Atmosphere Watch networks. Results of CO monitoring are increasingly available, allowing for the construction of a more complete picture of CO on the global scale. Besides in situ measurements at the surface, great progress has been made to better characterize its variable distribution using satellite and aircraft observations [Brioude et al., 2008; Deeter et al., 2003; Heald et al., 2003; Matsueda and Inoue, 1999; Mühle et al., 2002; Park et al., 2009]. However, systematic, long-term, in situ measurements of CO in the upper troposphere (UT) are relatively rare. Only the use of passenger aircraft, namely the Civil Aircraft for the Regular Investigation of the Atmosphere Based on an Instrument Container (CARIBIC), Comprehensive Observation Network for Trace Gases by Airliner (CONTRAIL) and Measurement of Ozone and Water Vapor by Airbus in Service Aircraft (MOZAIC) projects, has led to a broader database in this respect [Brenninkmeijer et al., 2007; Matsueda and Inoue, 1999; Nedelec et al., 2005]. The large suite of trace gases and aerosol parameters measured by CARIBIC provides the means by which to identify the emission regions and sources of atmospheric CO.
[3] Mixing ratios of CO reported here were measured as part of the CARIBIC (www.caribic-atmospheric.com) research project, which is designed to conduct regular, long-term, long-range, detailed observations in the free troposphere and upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UT/LS) using a passenger aircraft. Observations are made using a fully automated instrumented container (1.6 tons) installed onboard a Lufthansa Airlines Airbus 340–600. Real time trace gas and aerosol measurements, collection of aerosol and whole air samples, and remote sensing measurements using DOAS are conducted on a near monthly basis [Brenninkmeijer et al., 2007]. For the period between May 2005 and March 2008, data are available from 40 intercontinental flights between Frankfurt and Guangzhou (FRA ↔ CAN) and 41 regional flights between Guangzhou and Manila (CAN ↔ MNL). As one of the most densely populated and fastest growing regions of the world, Southeast Asia has garnered considerable attention as a source of anthropogenic pollutants. Many research campaigns have examined certain aspects of pollution outflow from this region, but these campaigns are usually short in duration and highly specialized in focus, and as such are unable to provide long-term information about pollution reaching the UT. Here we focus on pollution events and air parcels with enhanced CO mixing ratios observed in the UT over the region between south China and the Philippines (Figure 1). In the present work we present an analysis of the entire period, spanning over 2 years. The objective is to characterize polluted air parcels using additional trace gases and attribute them to the different source regions and types of emissions.
