UT System tackling statewide physician shortage
AUSTIN – In order to ensure all Texans continue to have access to health care, The University of Texas System is taking critical steps to address the state's physician shortage.
Two of these key initiatives include establishing new medical schools and increasing the number of resident slots across the state – both of which will have a significant impact on the state's health care and economy.
"We don't have enough doctors, and that's going to affect everybody," said Dr. Kenneth Shine, executive vice chancellor for health affairs. "We have an urgent need for physicians."
In a report to the Board of Regents today, Shine said Texas currently ranks 47th in the nation based on the number of primary care physicians per 100,000 people.
And it's only going to get worse given the state's fast population growth, the increase in chronic diseases such as diabetes, and the retirement of the baby boomer generation of physicians.
The UT System, which already has four medical schools, is working to establish a medical school in both Austin and South Texas, and both of these communities already are aggressively soliciting more resident spots for post-medical school training, Shine said. Austin, which currently has 214 resident slots, will have 264 within the next three years. And residency slots in South Texas are expected to grow from 33 to almost 150 within the next few years.
The challenge is finding the funding to pay for resident training, which can cost a hospital $120,000 to $150,000 per position. The state Legislature dramatically reduced funding for residency programs during the last session, and the federal government, through Medicare, will only pay for new resident programs.
"We'd like to restore state funding for those programs and provide additional funding to stimulate hospitals to add residency positions," Shine said, noting that he already is working with lawmakers on a funding proposal.
Because physicians typically practice where they do their residency, the state needs to offer enough resident spots for all graduates of Texas medical schools and then some, in order to increase the state's physician population, he said.
Texas already is doing a great job of attracting and keeping residents. In fact, of those students who attend medical school and complete their residencies in Texas, 80 percent (third highest in nation) will stay in Texas to practice. A remarkable 62 percent (second highest in the nation) of Texas medical school students who go out of state to complete their residencies come back to the Lone Star state to practice.
The Austin medical school will graduate its first students in 2020, and the first students on the South Texas track through UT Health Science Center at San Antonio are scheduled to graduate in 2018. In addition to training much-needed physicians, both medical schools will benefit their communities by providing jobs and bringing in millions of dollars of funding for research, which potentially could create more jobs, Shine said.
Statewide, Texas medical schools and teaching hospitals have an economic impact of more than $35.8 billion, which is fifth highest in the nation, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.
About The University of Texas System
Educating students, providing care for patients, conducting groundbreaking research and serving the needs of Texans and the nation for more than 130 years, The University of Texas System is one of the largest public university systems in the United States, with nine academic universities, six health institutions and a fall 2012 enrollment of roughly 216,000. The UT System confers more than one-third of the state's undergraduate degrees and educates nearly three-fourths of the state's health care professionals annually. The UT System has an annual operating budget of $13.9 billion (FY 2013) including $3.1 billion in sponsored programs funded by federal, state, local and private sources. With more than 87,000 employees, the UT System is one of the largest employers in the state.

Pure Vinyl LP recording & editing software
These are the questions that Rob Robinsonmusician, audiophile, software programmer, and former Bell Communications Research Scientist (he was responsible for designing their first scanning tunneling microscope)asked himself in 2002. Robinson has answered them all with Channel D's Pure Vinyl recording and editing software for Apple Macintosh computers, and has continually revised, updated, and tweaked the program since its launch in June 2006.
For instance, because hard-drive storage was still relatively expensive when Robinson first envisioned Pure Vinyl, he built the program around burning to CD-R and DVD-R discs. This meant that the editing functions (track starts, stops, splits, etc.) occurred only in less-than-full resolution. Today, with each terabyte of storage costing around $100, Pure Vinyl edits, stores, and plays in up to full 24-bit/192kHz resolution directly to and from a computer's hard drive. The Pure Vinyl software will only run on Macs with OS10.5 or later and is available at an introductory price of $229, which will rise to $299 at some point in the near future.
Necessary Hardware
The minuscule electrical output of an analog signal from a moving-coil cartridge needs to be boosted before it can be converted to digital and equalized in the digital domain. Of course, you could use your current phono preamplifier and record an equalized signal to hard disk, but then you wouldn't get to experience Pure Vinyl's digital RIAA correctionnor would you be able to avail yourself of all the equalization curves provide by Pure Vinyl, of which there are almost too many to count.
When I first wrote about Pure Vinyl in the March 2009 "Analog Corner," Robinson recommended using a good microphone preamplifier to provide the appropriate amount of flat amplification. But even without RIAA compensation, the cartridge still requires the optimal resistive loading, so he supplied his customers with pre-loaded RCA-to-XLR adapters. While that's still a viable if limited option, Robinson has now designed and manufactured, in America, four standalone Channel D phono preamplifiers, two of which I auditioned for this review: the AC-powered Seta Nano ($1599) and the battery-powered Seta Model L ($3799, or $4798 with internal RIAA compensation module).
Whether you use your own phono preamplifier or one of the Setas to rip LPs, you're also going to need a good 24-bit/192kHz-capable soundcardor, if you're using a laptop, a good outboard A/D converter. When I first wrote about Pure Vinyl, Robinson suggested I buy for my Mac G5 tower an L22 PCI soundcard ($675) from Lynx Studio Technology. I did. Unfortunately, should I upgrade to a new Mac, that card will be unusableApple has changed the internal interface. Love those computers! Given how little used computers fetch, I've decided that when the time comes, I'll just keep the old one and use it as a music server and D/A converter.
So to jump with both feet into the Pure Vinyl world, you're looking at an investment of around $5000 for the Seta L preamp, the software, and a suitable soundcard. Or, using your own phono preamp and an inexpensive converter, you can get started for a few hundred bucks.
Open Channel D
The final version of Pure Vinyl v.3.0, which performs hi-rez 24/192 recording and editing, should be available by the time you read this. Once you've downloaded and installed it in your computer's applications folder, and either added an internal soundcard or connected an outboard USB one (Channel D has a list of devices it has tried with Pure Vinyl here), you'll need to configure the computer's AudioMIDI Setup and the soundcard's supporting software.
If you're not friendly with computers, the task can be daunting, in part because it just is, and in part because Robinson has written the instructions almost exclusively in the passive voice.
Double-click the Pure Vinyl icon that you've placed in your dock and, unlike other powerful programsyou can make and eat a sandwich while waiting for Photoshop to openPure Vinyl quickly opens on the desktop. You'll see a virtual LP with a blank label, above which scroll the three available functions: "Click LP spindle to record," "Click iTunes icon for music server" (more about that later), and "Drag and drop Pure Vinyl recording to play."

GIS DATA DISCLAIMER: Every reasonable effort has been made to assure the accuracy of the data provided; nevertheless, some information may not be accurate. Montgomery County, MD assumes no responsibility arising from use of this information.
If you are already informed about the program, you may want to go directly to the following pages by clicking on any of these links:
The Neighborhood and Commercial Business District Concrete Replacement Programs are countywide and consist of the Division of Highway Services' routine maintenance of sidewalks, curbs and gutters and storm drain structure inlets and tops, as well as minor road repairs. In many areas, we are replacing asphalt curbing and sidewalks with concrete, and in some instances we are installing new concrete curbing, but, very rarely, sidewalks. Some projects may require prior study or design action.
These two programs are also linked to the County's Renew Montgomery Program. Renew Montgomery is a comprehensive program which coordinates Department of Transportation services to improve the infrastructure of mature neighborhoods. The programs all serve to enhance neighborhoods, ensuring a continuing high quality of life in Montgomery County.
What to expect:
The Division of Highway Services follows certain criteria when implementing our replacement/maintenance program. We consider concrete or asphalt that is sunken, holding water, off grade, or contains multiple cracks, to be in need of replacement. The County inspector assigned to the neighborhood is experienced in locating these hazards and defects in the public right-of-way. We respect our inspector's judgment as he/she is the County's frontline field representative.Should you wish to speak to or meet with someone other than the on-site inspector, you may call the Montgomery County Customer Service line at 311.
Our goal is to maintain the public right of way and we must be fiscally responsible in doing so. We apologize in advance for what may be a patchwork look, but this work is not done for aesthetic purposes. The new concrete or asphalt will change in appearance with time, weather and wear and will blend with the old.
During construction, you can expect some inconvenience from noise and large vehicular traffic on your streets. The daily work hours are from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Monday through Friday and, on rare occasions, on Saturday mornings, with very minimal noise. The total operation moves relatively quickly. In some cases, the crew may finish its work at your residence within a day.
The typical course of events:
Important information for homeowners
Montgomery County is not responsible for any items left or placed in the public right-of-way. Some commonly encountered items are sprinkler systems, electric dog fences and basketball hoops. The County does not provide permits for installation of such objects in the County right-of-way and, under the County Code, they are placed illegally. Miss Utility does not mark underground electric fences or sprinkler systems, so it is the homeowner/resident responsibility to let the Inspector know that these items are in place and to provide their precise location before digging begins. Neither the County nor the contractor will be responsible if these items are damaged. When we know what is there and where, our chances of success are greatly increased.
Your driveway or walkway
When we replace the sidewalk or curb that runs through your driveway, we will make a straight saw cut (mechanically or manually) across the driveway. Once concrete replacement or placement is complete, we will replace the damaged or cut portions of the driveway with like materials. Those materials will be gravel, stone, asphalt or concrete. It is extremely difficult to match new material colors to the old, because age and weather have a major effect on the appearances of the exposed aprons, driveways, and walkways. We can make no guarantees whatsoever regarding color match.
Work privately performed for residents
Montgomery County Government does not vouch for, do estimates for, or collect monies for our contractor doing work such as driveways or leadwalks, on private property. We can only recommend our contractor to you since he is already working in the neighborhood. You are encouraged to receive estimates from other sources for driveways and other appurtenances. The apron portion of your driveway will be inspected by the County inspector.

There is no shortage of work on the life and poems of Robert Lowell: Saskia Hamilton's collected "The Letters of Robert Lowell,'' Ian Hamilton's "Robert Lowell: A Biography'' being two of the largest and most famous. Memoirists from Norman Mailer to Eileen Simpson have offered their depictions.
The question remains: Who, in Boston literary circles, from the 1950s to the '70s, didn't know Robert Lowell?
Kathleen Spivack's "With Robert Lowell and His Circle'' — part memoir, part portrait of Lowell's classroom, era, and literary contemporaries — operates as a Venn diagram of the Spivack-Lowell relationship. Her life intersected with Lowell's from her early 20s (when she sat in on his now-famous Boston University workshop whose members included Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath) through her 40s (during his Harvard "office hours" — largely informal gatherings — and his well-publicized second and third marriages), up to his death in 1977.
It is, in her account, a surprisingly un-vicious circle she is welcomed into, despite undercurrents of misogyny and mental illness running through this flood of creative genius. Spivack came to Boston from Oberlin College to work with Lowell as a very young woman, and while moments of mania and cruelty erupt on Lowell's part, and egotistical frictions abound (between Sexton and Plath, Adrienne Rich and the Harvard establishment, Lowell and his students), her focus is on a public teacher and private friendship.
Spivack records Lowell's mix of generosity and obliviousness that endeared him to writer friends and students, and changed their perception of their craft. In his presence, postwar American poetry underwent rigors of a unique scrutiny: " 'What does this poem really mean?' Lowell urged, around the table from one student to another. It was like an examination, in which everyone was bound to fail." Star-studded gossip — Spivack playing ping-pong with Elizabeth Bishop or swimming in Sexton's pool — recalls Patti Smith's name-dropping in "Just Kids'': memories of a youth caught in the whirlwind of her time (here, unlike New York, infused with Puritanism), always in the shadow of Lowell's eccentric tutelage.
This was, as well, the pre-MFA age, though members of the circle must have had presentiments of change: "Poetry, it was felt, could not be 'taught.' Lowell's classes were known for the attempt." Lowell's grand vision of himself and his poetry lent itself to a crucible of talent, a cast of characters with (perhaps even in their time) a "bigger-than-Jesus" feel. Details about those characters are circumspect but revealing. Following Lowell's funeral at the Church of the Advent in Boston, Spivack reflects on various personages and how they coped: "Afterward there was a flurry of visiting as the mourners reassembled at the home of Robert Gardner. Elizabeth Bishop, Caroline Blackwood, and others fell apart. Elizabeth Hardwick did not."
To this day, Boston resonates with Lowell's presence: his house on Marlborough Street, the Grolier Poetry Book Shop, the Iruna (a favorite restaurant), Quincy House (home of "office hours''), Comm. Ave., the crimson brick of Harvard Square. Spivack's portrait offers a window on a man, a city, and a method for anyone not lucky enough to have taken part in those times.
The book may not ultimately shed new light on why so many poets of that generation committed suicide, or their struggles with gender or sexual orientation (the book's construction allows her to digress at will: contemplating, among other things, the mystique that surrounded certain poets after their deaths). Enshrinement, indeed, is Spivack's goal; she notes, "We were aware of living a great moment together: no one more than Robert Lowell, in his persistent investigation into literature and its relation to one's life." But this is Spivack's story — her young adulthood and midlife against a backdrop of crucial poetic moment.

Comforts Zones and Risk Tolerance
The length of this document defends it well against the risk of its being read.
– Winston Churchill –
I'll keep this story short, then, with a few photos -not risqué, just risky.
Risk Tolerance and Comfort Zone – two concepts to think about now and then. At our house, The Car Guy is working hard to get back into his Comfort Zone, which for him is freedom from pain, and getting his neck brace off. (See A Perfect Storm.) Once that is achieved, he can start to think again about what his Risk Tolerance will be when the motorcycle is repaired!
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
– Anais Nin –
We live in an area of the country called Hail Alley. These white lilies have been in my garden for ten years or more, and without fail they get hit by hail either just before they bloom, or just after. That doesn't stop them from blooming as best they can, though. Plucky little flowers.
The concept of reducing risk is not new. People have been managing risks in some form since human beings first decided to keep their hands out of the cookfire.
– Risk Management – BC Fire Academy –
Summer bonfires (with marshmallows) at the cabin. The grandchildren are old enough now to whittle sticks with sharp knives and use said weapons for tasks that bother timid adults. (This is the best I can do for a bonfire photo – I was never at the cabin on the evenings the extended family had a bonfire. It was just that kind of a summer.)
Adventure without risk is Disneyland.
– Doug Coupland –
My nephews little boy has a bike now and while he can't keep up with the big kids on their bikes, he can sure park it where they do. He wears a helmet, of course, but the pot holes in the roads at the cabin have unseated him on more than one occasion, and he can show you the bruises to prove it.
I'm stepping out of my Comfort Zone today – I'm going to the dentist. Yes, I am a risk taker! How about you?
40 thoughts on "Comforts Zones and Risk Tolerance"
I'm not a risk taker but I get talked into things easily. Got talked into a 17 mile bike ride once and even though it was all downhill, I felt wildly adventurous and managed to fall and get a big bruise. Great bragging rights! You would have to talk me into doing it again though. Love this post! You are so clever and the pics are perfect! 🙂
I take risks if I know I have certain skills to cope in a basic way. Moving twice in my life from 1 province to another was a huge risk because lst time I left a job and had to find a job in next province.
2nd time, I accepted a job offer in another province. But knew no one living in the place where I am now. What helped is my partner's knowledge of the city where he spent 2 years.
I guess I do take a risk daily by cycling but I don't overthink this. I also plan my routes to avoid very busy/dangerous areas. But that's not always possible.
My partner is taking risks..whenever he bikes solo across North America. Right now, he's going across the U.S. At his age, it's probably riskier than most people would do it.

Love hotel operators lose some loopholes
Several years ago, according to Sankei Shimbun, a group of children on their way to elementary school in Osaka's Nishi Ward reported to their teachers that they saw a naked man waving from the window of a building which bordered on school property. The school reported the incident to police who investigated and found that the building was actually a love hotel, though it didn't necessarily look like one.
As a cultural fixture, love hotels supposedly fill a need for sexual privacy that many couples can't secure in crowded, cluttered Japan, and with a specific commercialized service. All the special features of love hotels are designed either for discretion or for enhancing the implied sexual interlude, no matter how brief. It is because love hotels offer such a service that they fall under legal guidelines that differ from those for other commercial accommodations and which apply to the fuzoku eigyo-ho (law for businesses that affect public morals) that went into effect in 1985. According to this law, love hotels cannot be operated within 200 meters of school property, and Sankei says that the building in Nishi Ward has been the source of other complaints: cars emerging suddenly out of the curtained parking lot and fliers for sex services littering the area where kids can pick them up.
This particular business is what is called a giso (fake) love hotel, meaning that it looks like a regular hotel but operates as a love hotel. Regular hotels do not fall under the fuzoku eigyo-ho, even if couples use them for sexual trysts. So how does one distinguish a love hotel from a city or business hotel, or even a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn)? Apparently, it all has to do with structure and features. According to the fuzoku eigyo-ho, if a hotel has no kitchen and no lobby; or if its operators install vending machines selling "adult goods" and its guest rooms have features such as glass-partitioned bathrooms, rotating beds and ceiling mirrors, they qualify as love hotels. However, according to a non-profit organization called Zenkoku Giso Rabu Hoteru Nakasu Kai (The Group to Remove Fake Love Hotels Nationwide), fake love hotels have taken advantage of the wording of the law, which implies that businesses must have both special structures and special features. If either doesn't apply, it doesn't meet the legal criteria for a love hotel. When operators build their hotels, they include lobbies and kitchens so that they can qualify for registration as a regular inn or hotel under the ryokan gyo-ho (commercial inn law), and then after they receive certification they remodel the place with the usual love hotel fixtures, though usually only with regard to the interior so as not to attract too much attention from neighbors. Several years ago the National Police Agency said it identified about 3,600 fake love hotels operating throughout the country. The real number is undoubtedly higher.

Sunday Meditation, 9-12am
Weekly sitting practice for new and experienced meditators.
"When we realize that we cannot catch hold of phenomena at all, that is what is known as "absolute truth." There is an absolute quality to the fact that we cannot fool ourselves. We can try to fool our teacher, who tells us to sit, and we might think that we can fool the dharma, the teachings, which say, 'Go sit. That is the only way.' But we cannot fool ourselves. We cannot fool our essence. The ground we are sitting on cannot be fooled."
-Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

The clear cold weather we've been having is the perfect time to look for the northern lights. Local photographer Dennis Anderson has been shooting the aurora all over Alaska, but his images from the Homer area are my favorite (find more of his fantastic work at auroradude.com). We get less of the red colors than they see in the far north, but the greens and yellows and blues that wind their way through the sky here perfectly reflect the sea and snow of the landscape below. At the Homer Nutcracker faire this past weekend, my husband and I stopped to chat with him at his booth (see Dennis' response at the end of this post, let's just say he clears up a few things!) and his photographs reminded me of something we had been working on at the bakery.
Stained glass cookies are a beautiful way to dress up cut out sugar cookies. Just smash up any hard candy and sprinkle in the holes of your favorite shape. Bake as usual.
We love these maple butter cookies, so good they'll make you see stars.
(or if your lucky, the northern lights!)
Aurora Update:
Dennis just sent me a note after reading over my post to correct me on my aurora facts. I have always seen mostly green and yellow lights here and was told by someone long ago that it was because we were so far south and that the lights were related to the cold, but he tells me:
"Even though the auroras are visible more frequently further north, the percentage of colorful shows is lower. we actually get more colorful shows down here. They are still quite rare, but one reason is that the colorful events are related to powerful solar flares.The strong geomagnetic storms resulting from these flares, and there coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, drive the auroras further south so even though we don't get auroras as often, when we do they are more likely to "count". Another reason has to do with the angle of the charged particles entering the atmosphere. Further north the angle is more direct and further south the angle becomes less direct so the the particles end up taking more time to penetrate the thin air. This also contributes to more red emission. Most all of my colorful shots are taken right here on the Kenai rather than further north with very little exception.
Another mis-conception is that the auroras are in some way is related to the cold. In reality, there is no direct relation as auroras occur all year. We just are not able to see them during the brightest summer months but I have seen them from late July to late May from Homer. Clear skies and darkness are all that is required (and a little solar activity). Of course, in the winter clear skies usually mean cold so that is how people come to relate the two."
That's two urban, er, I mean rural, myths debunked for me...thanks, Dennis!
Aurora Update #2
An anonymous commenter left me a link to an interesting site where you can view the northern lights while they are happening! Here it is: The Aurora Max Project.
Thanks to you, Anon...but one question...where did your comment go? First it was there, then it wasn't! Regardless, I appreciate the link, very cool website.

Varifocal lenses provide a convenient way to combine distance, intermediate and near vision in one lens. The distance vision area is in the top part of the lens and is aligned with your pupil so that the power gradually increases as you look down the lens until you reach your full reading strength near the bottom of the lens. Varifocal lenses are generally preferred to bifocals as they offer a greater range of natural vision and from the outside look like single vision lenses making them more cosmetically appealing.
Our varifocal Lenses are available in a choice of materials from conventional plastic through to our high performance 1.74 lens.
These can be enhanced with many different options from anti-reflection coatings to fast-reacting transition lenses.
This is the most common type of optical lens.
If you require vision correct for either distance, reading or computer work this is the option for you.
If you need correction for 2 of the above, so distance and reading for example.
Either Varifocal or Bi-Focal lenses will be required
This is for everyday use which is often worn continuously.
Varifocals may be an option, if you have to remove your distance prescription glasses to read or do close work.
Select this option if you need no correction of your vision, but would like to wear designer glasses with non-prescription lenses.
Our non-prescription lenses are made from the same high-quality lens materials as our prescription lenses.
Tint Option Photo Brown

Trading Standards' anti-cold calling campaign off to great start
Trading Standards told me their anti-cold calling campaign is already off to a great start, with hundreds of thousands of people downloading the "WARNING" notice to put in their windows.
TV presenter Gloria Hunniford is spearheading the campaign, and she has met many people who have been conned by unscrupulous tradespeople.
As she explained to me, the worst case she has come across is a man who lost more than half a million pounds, after trusting conmen who persuaded him to have a huge amount of unnecessary work done to his house.
Thankfully, the criminals are now behind bars, but the victim only got back a fraction of the money stolen from him.
- ITV Report
Guide to steering clear of cold callers
Conmen gained trust by showing sympathy to couple
The conmen gained the trust of the elderly couple by offering condolences for their daughter and son-in-law. They had photograpahs in the room of both of them.
There were also photos of Harold's mum receiving a telegram from the Queen on her 100th birthday and a picture of the ship he served on during the Second World War - a mine sweeper that took part on D-Day.
The conmen then started doing a bit of work on the wall and said there was a problem with a bush near the house; the roots were affecting the foundations and urgently needed to be removed. They then insisted on being paid £3000 in cash.
VIDEO: Elderly couple scammed by conmen
Second World War veteran Harold Trace, 86 and his wife Joyce, 82, from Ashford in Surrey, were scammed out of £3,000 by conmen who took advantage of their vulnerability - their daughter had died of cancer the month before, their son-in-law the year before, leaving their granddaughter orphaned.
The conmen used the death of the couple's daughter to gain their trust. Three men arrived at their house in September last year. They claimed to be from the company that had painted their house over 20 years ago; they wanted to check everything was ok at no charge.
They left saying everything was fine and Harold gave them a £5 tip for their time. Shortly afterwards they returned to say they had noticed the wall was unstable and urgently needed work. Harold and Joyce welcomed them back into the house and offered them tea and biscuits.
Call for people to get tough on cold calling
The theme of this year's National Consumer Week is 'cold calling - don't buy it!'
The Trading Standards Institute is calling on people to get tough on cold calling which it says is not in decline and vulnerable people are being targeted.
It has created stickers to put on your door to tell rogue traders to go away. If they refuse to go away it then becomes a criminal offence. People are then encouraged to phone the police.

Sorry about the relative sparseness of the long swear-word-filled rants you've come to expect of us! There's good stuff in the works. Meanwhile, do not miss Lindsay's chart and accompanying analysis of some of the communication breakdowns between FA and anti-FA types. It's simple and really illuminating. Damn, I love it when people apply logic and analytical thinking!
1 thought on "Quick hit: FA and opposition, in chart form"
The malnourished are mostly incapable of consistent logical and analytic thought because they're too busy obsessing over food. I think that was Ancel Keyes. With the percentage of people who've recently been on a diet, I think that explains a lot.

New Jersey RV dealers reported strong sales during the 3rd Annual NJRVDA Fall RV Expo, held September 21-23 at Six Flags Great Adventure, a new location for the show.
According to a press release, sales were up approximately 20% compared to previous years, with many first-time buyers taking advantage of aggressive pricing from the dealers at the show, hosted by the New Jersey Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (NJRVDA).
Organizers said that dealers were upbeat on the move to Six Flags as the venue would allow the event to grow year by year while also offering attendees the opportunity to enjoy the Fall events at the amusement park.
D.P. Ball Advertising of Chardon, Ohio, handled the marketing initiative for the second year in a row and reported that participating dealers agreed that, because of show's success, they will continue to offer show deals on their lots through Oct. 20.
Sales were across-the-board with lightweight trailers and fifth-wheels rating as the most popular purchases while motorhomes dealers also experienced strong sales.
"The momentum is there and dealers are prepared to continue to offer buyers bargains in order to clear out both new and pre-owned inventory from their dealerships in time for new factory orders that will be arriving in the winter," said Ball, who has specialized in advertising for RV dealers for nearly three decades.

Have you been searching for the perfect overhead breeze creating fixture for your modern food prep area that continues to convey the present atmosphere while matching well with your current lamps and decor? Begin shopping for kitchen ceiling fans, also called over island fan lighting, while keeping in mind that cooling your house is an essential part of guests feeling comfortable and relaxed in reception to your conviviality. Ensure you are taking all of the necessary actions to guarantee accurate length and width measurement of your living room to begin gathering information towards an intelligent purchase. Kitchen ceiling fans, whether they are Hunter for great rooms or small enough for tight quarters, they are necessary to create a relaxing breeze through your modern house.
Modern Air Moving Over Island Fan Lighting
Choosing kitchen ceiling fans for your home requires consideration of many different factors, like matching your lamps, before making a final purchase decision. Over island fan lighting offers the biggest solution to one of the most important elements, other than the air circulating ability for a small fan, the capability to provide improved ambience and a restful presence for friends and guests. Kitchen ceiling fans come in various types and sizes providing satisfaction whether they are to be combined with existing lamps or flush mount options are needed for installation within tight quarters. The over island fan lighting also matches very well with other living room décor like Hunter designs, antique, and modern pendants.
Ceiling Fans with Lighting for Your Kitchen
Getting a new ceiling fan with a light for your kitchen is easier than organizing two fixtures in one area. Don't try to decorate with separate accessories to cool and to brighten your island. Choose one elegant fixture that allows the best of both worlds. Get the combination of cool air and soft comforting light while conserving valuable ceiling space.
Saving the treasured territory above your head is easy in any room in your home. Get a ceiling fan for your bedroom to update your personal area. Designs range from airplanes for your children, antique and rustic for classic décor, and even tropical and nautical for a beach scene. If you are looking for ceiling fans with lights and don't know what kind to get, browse around!
Lighting is another important factor to consider when shopping for kitchen ceiling fans. If your kitchen needs extra light, you will want a fan that comes equipped with sufficient lighting to fit your needs. We have a huge quantity of fans with lighting in its catalog, as well as fans without lighting. While lighting does bring the added convenience of improved ambience for your kitchen the extra electricity that is consumes is a tradeoff that might push you towards an Energy Star compliant kitchen fan. Just as important, match your wet or damp space to a stylish efficient indoor outdoor hanging fixture to cool your porch or patio.
Have you been having problems opening your pantry and cabinets while you are cooking or having all of your important work papers blow away from a sudden overpowering wind draft? Small ceiling fans will provide the much needed balance between a beautiful hanging fixture and sufficient air movement without being overwhelming to the chef's tight quarters. The cramped area surrounding the food preparation counter can cause clearance issues with headroom as well as maneuverability while cooking for your family and friends. Flush mount ceiling fans are sleek looking, low profile fixtures commonly used to create wide open kitchen areas that allow for a cleaner visual appeal and more efficient space utilization.
Every product page on the Del Mar Fans & Lighting website comes with complete and thorough Energy-Star compliance rating information to ensure you have an abundance of knowledge to make the most educated decision on your vital pendant light or fan purchase for your house. Although they are an efficient and practical way to cool one of the hottest rooms in your home, indoor outdoor ceiling fans also provide ventilation in the extreme weather outside of your normal living space. With several years of experience in the business and many customer testimonials touting our service, there is abundant testimony behind Del Mar being the ideal place to educate yourself about DIY home décor and repairs. When design ideas for kitchen lighting is the topic there is only one place to find friendly, knowledgeable customer service, fast and free shipping, and a huge selection of fixtures and accessories to personalize the ambience of your home all in one place filled with valuable information.

The Ark Linux team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the KDE centric desktop distribution Ark Linux 2006.1 - including KDE 3.5.4, Amarok 1.4.1, Kopete 0.12.1 with a hotfix for connecting to ICQ after the latest protocol change, a fully KDE-ified OpenOffice.org 2.0.3, and X.org 7.1.1. Another highlight in this release is the KDE based "rpmhandler", a tool that makes installing 3rd party packages easier than ever before.
Ark Linux 2006.1 is available both as an installation CD and a Live CD.
Ark Linux is a Free Software project that exists and grows only because of the help of many volunteers that donate their time and effort. Ark Linux is always looking for new volunteers and contributions, whether it is help with coding, bug fixing or reporting, helping with support, writing documentation, translations, promotion, money, hardware, etc. All contributions are gratefully appreciated and eagerly accepted. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Suggestions to increase participation in Ark Linux
Here are some suggestions for increasing participation in Ark Linux development:
2) Set up commit log mailinglist so that developers know what other developers are doing (avoids duplicate work, increases efficiency, etc).
3) Set up a user mailinglist so that users can discuss problems, wishes, and ways to promote Ark Linux.
Make sure you host the archive locally and at the Mailing List Archive:
I realize that you have forums and a nifty web IRC app, but those aren't substitues for mailinglists that people can *subscribe* to and *search* the archives of.

Re: Suggestions to increase participation in Ark Linux
Getting the lists archived at marc in addition to in the forums is a good idea though - will do!

Re: Suggestions to increase participation in Ark
Getting lists archived by marc is unfortunately not easy. I've asked them twice to archive our Amarok mailing lists (now hosted @ KDE), but never got a reply.

No links seem to be working...
I tried to grab the iso, via ftp, http, and then torrent, for the live cd, and then the install iso, and none work. Are the servers getting bashed right now? Why are the torrents missing?
Thanks, I'm anxious to check out the release, and appreciate your efforts with dvdrtools :)

Re: No links seem to be working...
the isos are nowhere to be found. Usually it's the other way around, the isos find their way to the mirrors and everybody scrambles to get them before the official announcement. In this case, we have an announcement and no isos.
By oggb4mp3 at Thu, 2006/08/03 - 5:00am
Re: No links seem to be working...
Yes, we made the mistake of making the announcement after everything was ready on our server, without waiting for the mirrors to catch up (and due to traffic limits, all downloads are from mirrors).
Next time we'll know better. ;)

Re: No links seem to be working...
Still MIA, though the regular install torrent is there.
By Joseph M. Gaffn... at Thu, 2006/08/03 - 5:00am
Re: No links seem to be working...
Looks like the combined load of rsyncs from the mirrors, seeding the torrents and the website were sufficient to get the box into heavy swapping (it's not quite dead -- still responds to ping and 1 char/minute over ssh, too slow for a quick fix though).
We're currently working on a fix (switching to a more lightweight CMS, rate-limiting rsync even for mirrors), everything should be ready soon.
(Yes, we're aware of the fact that we shouldn't be doing all those things from the same box, and particular not from a low-end box like ours, and especially not one we don't have physical access to --- but we have to live with what we can get for $0).

Speaking of dvdrtools, I'm currently working on a rewrite that uses QtCore -- and as usual, contributors are wanted...

Anyone have more info on rpmhandler? I'm curious as whether its just (not that this might not be useful) a frontend for something else or a real management system like apt-rpm/smart. I must admit I haven't looked too hard (only google and the ark website) but I haven't found anything on it. I'll probably download the live cd in the first instance as I don't have a spare machine to play with at present and so that won't be possible to play with it as a package handler.
Ark looks quite interesting, it's been on my list of distros to check for a while.
By Simon at Thu, 2006/08/03 - 5:00am
Re: rpmhandler
rpmhandler is a simple application that handles the rpm mimetypes in Konqueror -- if you click on an rpm (or a set of rpms) on a website/ftp server/local filesystem, it launches a frontend that grabs the package through KIO and then installs it.
The backend work is done by rpm.
For packages in our own repositories, we use apt/kynaptic (and are currently playing with adept -- it's almost working).
By Bernhard Rosenk... at Thu, 2006/08/03 - 5:00am
Re: rpmhandler
Ah, right - thanks for the info. It sounds like it could be quite useful, especially for someone coming from windows and used to clicking to launch an installer. The issue (I'm sure you're aware of) is if there are dependencies to be met - though I guess the user can easily enough install them with apt-get or kynaptic if they're in your repositories. It would be nice if all that could be transparent though. Smart which I use on suse since 10.1 can accept an arbitrary url for a package and install it with dependencies, but only via the command line.
I've played with adept a bit (though mostly just used apt-get) setting up kubuntu on a housemate's pc and adept is looking promising
By Simon at Thu, 2006/08/03 - 5:00am
Re: rpmhandler
rpmhandler doesn't handle dependencies for now (if there are dependency problems, it displays them and offers cancel and ignore options).
smart has some interesting features, but I don't like its implementation at all - to start with I think it's a bad idea to write a low-level tool like a package manager in python (I'm not opposed to python in general -- just for things like a package manager: how do you use a python based package manager to repair an installation where python of one of the loads of libraries it uses is broken?).
We've been thinking about copying some features of smart to apt (or alternatively reimplementing smart in C++) though.
By Bernhard Rosenk... at Thu, 2006/08/03 - 5:00am
Re: rpmhandler
Yeah, I was really surprised when I first looked into smart and saw python mentioned, it does seem inappropriate for such a fundamental system tool. I'm very encouraged by your suggestion of using apt to assist with dependencies in rpmhandler if necessary. suse has an install with yast option following click on (only local, I think) rpms but this seemed like overkill so i generally just tried a command line install with rpm and went to yast if dependencies were an issue. A lightweight tool that uses just rpm if there are no dependencies has a lot of potential.
Downloading Ark linux now, so I'll have a play in a bit. I'm looking for something quite light and very much desktop oriented for a laptop (that I haven't bought yet) and this certainly looks interesting.

KDEfied OO.org
Nice but the icons have too different sizes and the esp. the selected carriage return is to large. It creates no good impression because of these small design flaws.
By knut at Thu, 2006/08/03 - 5:00am
Re: KDEfied OO.org

Looking at the icons, they al have the same size.

Re: KDEfied OO.org
OSdir's screenshots are from a very old release (a release candidate of 2005.1 -- more than a year old).
It still looks similar, but not exactly the same.
And fully KDEified is not just about icons, it's also (and even more so) about KDE file open/close and print dialogs, using the KDE widget style, integrating with KAddressBook, etc.

To login or not to login?
Hi, while using the previous version of Ark, i noticed two strange things:
1 - Ark does not create any passwords, so you can't login as user, nor as root.
2 - there is a root console in K-menu. When starting it, one will be prompted for a root password.
By AC at Fri, 2006/08/04 - 5:00am
Re: To login or not to login?
> 1 - Ark does not create any passwords, so you can't login as user,
That is because we think most desktop users don't want to bother with accounts, they just want a system that works out of the box and doesn't need them to switch users every time they want to do something that requires root
Since we think that some people will definitely want a more traditional user setup, we aren't taking out the normal login/logout functionality -- it's just not active/useful in a default install.
> 2 - there is a root console in K-menu. When starting it, one will be
No, it doesn't prompt for a root password -- not unless you've created a new user account first and are using that, without giving it privileges to launch root konsoles without password. (You use the included "kapabilities" tool to grant root access to certain applications to different users).
A FAQ entry explaining what to do if you've killed the default user without setting up a proper replacement is here:

Re: To login or not to login?
Thanks for your reply.
Given the fact that my system behaved differently then the way it should behave, i figured that there must be something wrong with my installation.
Thanks again

Tanglewood is rich in history, beauty, and southern charm. Tanglewood's story lies not only beneath the surface, but can be experienced as an ongoing living process. The property now known as Tanglewood Park was part of land claimed by Sr. Walter Raleigh for Queen Elizabeth on March 25, 1584. John Cartaret, 2nd Earl Granville acquired a sixty mile stretch of land in western North Carolina in the early 1700's known as the Granville District, granting land to those who had established surveys. William Linville, who settled with his family from Virginia and Pennsylvania by 1747/1748, acquired seven grants along the Yadkin around the shallow ford. More European settlers arrived in the Yadkin River Valley, including William Johnson, an immigrant from Wales. In 1757, ten years after Linville built a cabin on it, and just four years after the Moravian settlement of the Wachovia Tract in the nearby communities of Bethabara and Salem, Johnson purchased the mile square central portion of what became Tanglewood from the William and Ellender Linville.
After obtaining the property, Johnson built a fort overlooking the Yadkin River to protect his family and neighbors from attacks during the French and Indian War. Currently, this spot is marked by a monument just south of the Manor House. In 1765 he died and is now buried on the highest hill in the area called Mount Pleasant. In 1809 a simple frame church was erected next to his grave and remains today as one of the park's architectural attractions. Although services are no longer held there, many people are united in marriage at the Mount Pleasant Church each year.
In 1859, James Johnson had the eighteen-room Manor House built on a hill in the center of the estate. The house was a gift of love to his daughter, Emily, for a wedding present. Two wings were added later.
The Johnson heirs sold their property in 1921 to William Neal Reynolds, brother of tobacco entrepreneur R.J. Reynolds. At that time the Tanglewood tract was enlarged to over 1,100 acres and the Manor House expanded to twenty-eight rooms. Mr. Will, as he was called, raised and raced thoroughbred harness horses and established Tanglewood Farm as a home to some of the country's finest pacers. In the Manor House, Mr. Will had a special room dedicated to his trophies, called the "Trophy Room." A fire that started mysteriously in a trophy room display case in 1980 did considerable damage, but the room has been restored. The room is surrounded by plaques and horse photographs. It is obvious that Mr. Will was a horse lover, and this tradition is carried on with Tanglewood Farm. Trail rides, hayrides, and carriage rides are available by reservation.
Today, the Manor House is a Bed & Breakfast Inn with ten guest rooms, sweeping staircases, the Trophy Room, 20's Room, and Rock Fireplace Room. These facilities are used for weddings, meetings, and overnight accommodations. It is rumored that Mr. Will's spirit makes friendly visits to the house from time to time.
Mr. Will's wife, Kate, a horticultural enthusiast, began the extensive native and ornamental plantings at Tanglewood and employed German master gardener, Mr. Frank Lustig, who continued her plans and his life's work. He contributed the 800-bush Rose Garden on the Manor House lawn, the Arboretum behind the house, and the nearby Fragrance Garden to the Estate. For 60 years, even after the death of his employers and their gift of the estate, Lustig poured his talents into Tanglewood. He is buried in the graveyard at Tanglewood next to the historic church.
In 1951, the Reynolds willed the Tanglewood property to the citizens of Forsyth County to share as a public recreational park. The couple had no children. The Reynolds willed the property as a gesture to have others benefit from the beauty, elegance, history, and recreation their country estate had to offer. Thus, Tanglewood Park was born. The public recreational facility is owned by Forsyth County.
The combination of its streams, woodlands, and grassy pastures with the traditions of its architecture, horses, gardening, and wide range of recreational activities make Tanglewood an ideal countryside park to visit over and over again. Whether your journey brings you on business or pleasure, we offer something for everyone.
There are several stories on how Tanglewood was named. One version is that, while strolling through tangled underbrush where timber had been cleared, the name occurred to Kate Reynolds.
Another version is that the heirs to the Johnson family had noticed the tangled undergrowth. Kate Reynolds read Tanglewood Tales by Nathaniel Hawthorne frequently to her children, and named the family farm Tanglewood. Apparently, Mr. Will asked if the name could be continued after his possession of the property, and the Johnson heirs said they would be honored.
Both stories are told, no one thus far can prove either one. The reader should decide which story they prefer to believe. Kate Reynolds wrote this poem about Tanglewood:
"The seat of creeks and mighty trees,
Of fertile soil and balmy breeze . . .
Twould fill a page, had I a book,
To tell the joys of Tanglewood!"

White Papers and Application Notes
Dynamic Structural Modelling of Wind Turbines Using COMSOL MultiphysicsC. Van der Woude, and S. Narasimhan
University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada
This paper presents a study of a wind turbine subjected to wind and seismic loading, carried out using COMSOL Multiphysics. The dynamic properties and response of wind turbine structures are of interest, as recent developments in wind energy have led to the design and construction of increasingly large and flexible turbine structures. A typical turbine structure model was created in COMSOL and transient simulations were carried out under wind and earthquake excitations. It was found that the structural responses due to seismic loads have significantly different characteristics from those due to wind loads, and warrant further study.

Red Sox - 010 301 000 - 5 9 1 Angels - 200 002 002 - 6 7 2Alfredo Aceves, in his first appearance after serving a three-game suspension for "conduct detrimental to the team", recorded his eighth blown save of the season. No one in major league baseball has blown more saves this year.
After pitching a clean eighth inning, Aceves hit Erick Aybar in the foot with one out, and then walked pinch-hitter Alberto Callaspo on four pitches. Mike Trout singled home the tying run (on an 0-2 pitch) and Torii Hunter's sacrifice fly to center brought home the game-winner.
Boston led 5-2 at one point. Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered in the second, cutting the Angels' lead to 2-1. The first five Red Sox batters reached base in the fourth: Dustin Pedroia singled, Jacoby Ellsbury singled, Ryan Lavarnway walked, James Loney singled (2-2), and Salty singled (3-2). Another run scored on Ryan Kalish's double play grounder. In the sixth, Ellsbury singled, stole second and continued to third on a throwing error, and scored on Lavarnway's sac fly.
Buchholz (7-6-4-3-5) faltered in the first and sixth, but between those two Los Angeles rallies, he had a stretch in which he retired 16 of 17 batters. He gave up solo dongs to Trout and Albert Pujols. (Trout is now the youngest player in history to hit 25 homers and steal 40 bases in a single season.)
Podsednik, LFMauro Gomez was named the International League's Most Valuable Player. He hit .310/.371/.589 in 426 plate appearances, with 24 dongs.

To Read: Gordon Edes: "Red Sox Need To Redefine Strategy"
Adrian Gonzalez says Fenway's left field wall hurt his hitting style, and he believes the media took undeserved shots at him because of his low-key attitude.
What took my power away was the Green Monster. I used to hit line drives that way and they would be doubles. ... [The Boston media] didn't like that I was a calm person. I won't throw my helmet, I won't scream, I won't use bad words if I strike out. That's what they want over there.In the wake of the recent mega-deal with the Dodgers, it may be significant that the Red Sox have placed Daisuke Matsuzaka on waivers. Dice will be a free agent at the end of this season.

The large number of wealth managers both at home and abroad makes it difficult for private individuals in particular to find the right partner. Ultimately, people are committing their own funds and they want a bank that understands their personal requirements and has tried-and-tested wealth management concepts. Independent tests conducted by various professional institutions provide a valuable guide to selecting the right partner.
"Convincing wealth management concepts based on a consistent strategy"
"LGT should always be considered by people who want their assets to be managed in Liechtenstein or Switzerland. Its concepts are convincing due to their consistent, inner strategy", concluded the Elite Report's editorial team in its recently published test journal "Die Elite der Vermögensverwalter 2012" (The Elite Wealth Managers 2012). Three experienced asset managers and 178 high-net-worth individuals posed as potential clients to test out 136 institutions selected from an initial pool of 348 providers. LGT counts among the "best of the best", which after thorough analysis made it into the final selection of the specialist jury from the 49 providers rated as "recommended". It was the only institution to be rated as a "leading private bank" in Germany as well as in Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Austria. The Elite Report praised the bank's international orientation and investment expertise in particular: "Clients with an international focus know and value this big institution. Promising investment opportunities are identified, analyzed and exploited in all markets," says Hans-Kaspar Schönfels, founder and editor-in-chief of the Elite Report. He continues: "The fund used by the owner family to manage their assets can certainly be interesting. But also in the area of classical portfolio management LGT is thoroughly reliable and has a large client base."
Recognition as incentive
H.S.H. Prince Max von und zu Liechtenstein, Group CEO of LGT, was delighted with LGT's latest top award: "Having already been rated best private bank in Switzerland by the business magazine Bilanz this year, the rating of the Elite Report confirms that we are among the leading private banks in German-speaking countries. It is especially in this difficult, volatile market environment that clients look for stability and quality and value our strategy based on tradition, innovation and a long-term perspective. These awards encourage us to keep improving. We aim to achieve good results whatever the market situation and to be a reliable and competent partner for our clients."
LGT Group in brief
LGT Group is an international private banking and asset management group domiciled in Vaduz, Liechtenstein. The company has been owned for eighty years by the Princely House of Liechtenstein. With around 1900 employees, LGT Group is represented in more than 20 locations in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. At June 30, 2011 LGT Group managed assets of CHF 88.1 billion. www.lgt.com

The material was too good to pass up.
Comedian Jon Stewart weighed in on the Donald Trump sign debate last night. Trump has been publicly feuding with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel over a new sign with his name on the side of the 96-story building he erected downtown.
The mayor has called the sign "tasteless," while the Donald has defended it as being "in the highest level of taste."
"As Americans, it's our duty to take sides on everything," said Stewart, who has his own running feud with Trump. Yet he said he was having trouble picking sides.
"It's a badger fighting a mongoose, I just don't know who to cheer for," he said.
The segment also featured Tribune architecture critic Blair Kamin, who called the sign a "wart" on the skyline and defended himself from Trump's insults. Trump has said, among other things, that he thought Kamin had been fired since he was absent from the Tribune for several months. The Pulitzer Prize-winner Kamin spent the 2012-2013 academic year as a Nieman Fellow at Harvard.
"You don't get it, do you?" Stewart riffed. "Donald Trump isn't impressed by Harvard or the Pulitzer. The only name that impresses Donald Trump is his own name."
Stewart marveled at Trump's obsession with the topic.
"Is there no slight small enough for you to just (expletive) let it go?" he asked.
After showing numerous other Trump buildings emblazoned with his name, Stewart concluded the city should not have been surprised.
"Chicago, I have to say, this is on you," Stewart said. "Did you not think Donald Trump was gonna put his name on the building you let him build?" It's what he does! Have you been to New York?"

Air-Ice Chemical Interactions - IPY coordinated studies
Project DescriptionThe polar atmosphere is often considered both pristine and simple. However, there is a strong dynamic between the lower atmosphere and ice surfaces. Over the polar plateau, production in the snowpack controls the chemistry of the lower atmosphere. Halogen chemistry over the sea ice zone depletes boundary layer ozone, and causes mercury deposition. Persistent organic compounds undergo a distillation which leads to their deposition in polar regions. Biochemical processes in open leads play a major role in formation of cloud condensation (CCN) and ice forming nuclei (IFN), and through cloud formation this process may play a vital role in ice-albedo climate feedbacks.
The IGBP projects, IGAC and SOLAS, have jointly endorsed a task, ?Air-Ice Chemical Interactions?, to determine the importance of these processes, and assess how they would alter with a warming climate and shrinking cryosphere. IPY offers a unique opportunity to determine the spatio-temporal pattern of chemistry and processes from the ice surface through the boundary layer, including cloud formation, by linking various field activities carried out in the same year. AICI-IPY will provide an overall framework, arrange supporting laboratory and modelling studies and integration of remote sensing data, and organise synthesis meetings. This work will support and link these more focussed field activities:
Polar plateau intensives: studying the influence of the snowpack, and boundary layer structure, by measuring concentrations, fluxes and processes at sites with different characteristics. Summit, Greenland has a long pedigree in air-snow studies, and this will be extended under AICI-IPY. The ANTCI group at South Pole expect to carry out further campaigns in IPY. AICI-IPY scientists will aim to add activities at Concordia (Antarctica).
The Arctic Summer Cloud-Ocean Study (ASCOS) will focus on the processes that control boundary layer clouds north of 80ºN, looking at CCN, IFN, and investigating marine biochemical and boundary layer meteorological processes that control their numbers. ASCOS expects to use the Swedish icebreaker, drifting from North Pole during summer 2007, and this will provide opportunities for synergy with other parts of AICI and related projects.
In the sea ice zone, both Arctic and Antarctic studies of gas phase chemistry are planned. The Arctic studies will mainly be hosted by the related project, OASIS (Ocean-Air-Sea Ice-Snow Interactions ? EoI 344). OASIS contains ambitions both wider (biogeochemistry) and narrower (Arctic ocean/coast) than AICI, and will submit a separate detailed plan to IPY. POLARCAT (EoI 244) will provide some vertical context in the Arctic through aircraft campaign. Counterpart Antarctic coastal studies are already planned in Dronning Maud Land.
To provide an overall context for the intensive campaigns, AICI-IPY will determine the year-round spatial distribution of at least that most important molecule, ozone, in the boundary layer. No picture exists of the scale of ozone production and depletion, and its concentration in the boundary layer is not amenable to satellite observations. This work will link other AICI studies, using sensors deployed on autonomous platforms and buoys. AICI will coordinate individual polar operators to fill gaps on the map in the Antarctic and over Arctic land, while OASIS will cover parts of the Arctic Ocean.
