  • The Painted Desert Respite
    MJ APPROVED: TRAVEL The Painted Desert Respite The Saguaro, Scottsdale With its sandstone buildings and the rocky Sonoran desert surrounding it, Scottsdale, Arizona isn’t exactly known for eye-popping color. That’s why the Saguaro hotel, a 1960s motel renovated with vivid hues inspired by indigenous flora – not to mention mod design elements like solid-colored walls, light woods, and black-and-white photos of local cacti – makes a strong first impression. The 5.5.-acre property, however, offers more than good looks (as well as firm-but-comfy beds in spacious rooms with flatscreen TVs and iPod docks). It’s located in the city’s historic “old town” district and literally next door to the performing arts center, but inside the gates a party is going on. At least that’s one way to describe the lively, expertly DJ-ed pool scene, and you’ll want a room with a view of one of the two palm-lined swimming holes. ‘Iron Chef’ Jose Garces helms the in-house restaurant, Distrito, and he’s brought a Mexico City-style cuisine, full of bright flavors and fresh ingredients, to a spot that could have easily settled for another “New American eatery.” We frequented the area to tour Frank Lloyd Wright’s home and school Taliesin West, which is a short drive away, as well as to swing our drivers on some of the finest fairways in the southwest, especially at the Troon North Golf Club, which sprawls around natural ravines and boulders. Back at the hotel, which draws a hip, youthful adult crowd and may offer you a room with a cow’s skull on a side table, we enjoyed a powerful glass of rye at Garces’ bar Old Town Whiskey, which specializes in Americana-style spirits.

  • Terrestrial Impact Structures Provide the Only Ground Truth Against Which Computational and Experimental Results Can Be Com­ Pared
    Ann. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci. 1987. 15:245-70 Copyright([;; /987 by Annual Reviews Inc. All rights reserved TERRESTRIAL IMI!ACT STRUCTURES ··- Richard A. F. Grieve Geophysics Division, Geological Survey of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario KIA OY3, Canada INTRODUCTION Impact structures are the dominant landform on planets that have retained portions of their earliest crust. The present surface of the Earth, however, has comparatively few recognized impact structures. This is due to its relative youthfulness and the dynamic nature of the terrestrial geosphere, both of which serve to obscure and remove the impact record. Although not generally viewed as an important terrestrial (as opposed to planetary) geologic process, the role of impact in Earth evolution is now receiving mounting consideration. For example, large-scale impact events may hav~~ been responsible for such phenomena as the formation of the Earth's moon and certain mass extinctions in the biologic record. The importance of the terrestrial impact record is greater than the relatively small number of known structures would indicate. Impact is a highly transient, high-energy event. It is inherently difficult to study through experimentation because of the problem of scale. In addition, sophisticated finite-element code calculations of impact cratering are gen­ erally limited to relatively early-time phenomena as a result of high com­ putational costs. Terrestrial impact structures provide the only ground truth against which computational and experimental results can be com­ pared. These structures provide information on aspects of the third dimen­ sion, the pre- and postimpact distribution of target lithologies, and the nature of the lithologic and mineralogic changes produced by the passage of a shock wave.

One of the ways to achieve this aim is an application of the concept of ecologistics. While waste constitutes one of the main elements of ecologistics, it poses the most serious threat to the natural environment. The state’s ecologic policy for the years of 2002–2010 was a document to support the activities of communes aimed at environmental protection. Long-term objectives are to be realized within the framework of the Strategy of the Sustainable Development of Poland by the Year 2025. In this article, an attempt was undertaken of a critical interpretation of American and European views in this area. The possibilities of the optimization and polyoptimization of the behaviors of individual and group inhabitants in the context of logistics chains modelling were highlighted.

Partyzantów 27, 76-200 Słupsk, Poland e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The subject of this paper was analysis of the sort of accommodation base structure in Rowy with the evaluation of the dynamism of quantity changes in the scope of available accommodation base in the period 2001-2011. In addition the characteristics of selected features of tourist traffic in this place was carried out based on performed field research. Key words: Rowy, accommodation base, tourist traffic, tourist function INTRODUCTION Coasts are the main receptive areas of tourism both on the domestic and global level. It results from their seaside location and climate conditions which are the basis of development of recreational tourism (Agarwal and Shaw 2007, Hall and Page 2006, Matczak 2005, Szwichtenberg 2006, Rydz 2006, 2011, Parzych 2009). In connec- tion with the transformation of the economy in the nineties of the 20 th century im- portant changes in seaside towns of the Polish Baltic coast took place.

  • Aeolian Processes and Landforms
    Aeolian Processes and Landforms Ms. Deithra L. Archie, New Mexico State University Abstract I will present an overview of Aeolian processes and landforms on Mars. The overview will consist of two components. Component one is an overview of Aeolian processes and landforms on Earth and Mars, where the two planetary bodies are shown in Figures 1a and 1b respectively The second part of this paper will consist of image comparisons using satellite and MOC (Mars Orbiter Camera) images. Figure 1a Figure 1b Introduction Understanding the aeolian activity on the planet Mars and other planets begins with the study and knowledge of similar processes on Earth. Therefore, I will discuss the following: wind, particle entrainment and landforms found in the aeolian environment. This discussion will lead into my later discussion of the Martian sand seas and sand dunes. See Table 1 for a glossary of the terms used throughout this paper. In aeolian processes, wind transports and deposits particles of sediment. Aeolian features form in areas where wind is the primary source of erosion. The particles deposited are of sand, silt and clay size (see Table 2). The particles are entrained in by one of four processes. Creep is when a particle rolls or slides across the surface. Lift is when a particle rises off the surface due to the Bernoulli effect, the same mechanism which causes aircraft to rise. If the airflow is turbulent, larger particles are trajected by a process known as saltation. Finally, impact transport occurs which one particle strikes another causing the second particle to move. Erosional Landforms Wind eroded landforms are rarely preserved on the surface of the Earth except in arid regions.
