STORY IN SHOWCASE COREY BAUMGARTNER 2 WEDNESDAY, AUGUSt 18, 2021 news Iro N COUNTY ToDAY 'Police Dogs and Hot Dogs' event helps support retiring K9s by Corey Baumgartner IRON COUNTY TODAY Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Ryan Bauer welcomed everyone to the annual Police Dogs and Hot Dogs event last Monday in the Cedar City Main Street Park.. It was sponsored by the Iron County Friends of Police K9, a group dedicated to helping provide continuing care for police dogs when they retire from active duty. When a police K9 dog retires their handlers normally pay for their after-service care, which includes medical and nutritional costs—which can be quite expensive. Through this fun fundraiser, the Friends can help pay for that care. “We want them to have a good, safe and comfortable retirement,” expressed Sgt. Bauer in speaking of each dogs dedicated service to their handlers and law enforcement.

    Howard J. Garber Letter Collection This collection was the gift of Howard J. Garber to Case Western Reserve University from 1979 to 1993. Dr. Howard Garber, who donated the materials in the Howard J. Garber Manuscript Collection, is a former Clevelander and alumnus of Case Western Reserve University. Between 1979 and 1993, Dr. Garber donated over 2,000 autograph letters, documents and books to the Department of Special Collections. Dr. Garber's interest in history, particularly British royalty led to his affinity for collecting manuscripts. The collection focuses primarily on political, historical and literary figures in Great Britain and includes signatures of all the Prime Ministers and First Lords of the Treasury. Many interesting items can be found in the collection, including letters from Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Browning Thomas Hardy, Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, King George III, and Virginia Woolf.

It’s not very big - just a box a metre wide with folded solar panels attached - and six strong men could lift it. It weighs less than 370 kilograms, compared with thousands of kilos for Ariane’s usual customers’satellites. So it should pose no problems as an auxiliary passenger. SMART stands for Small Missions for Advanced Research in Technology. They pave the way for the novel and ambitious science projects of the future, by testing the new technologies that will be needed. But a SMART project is also required to be cheap - about one- fifth of the cost of a major science mission for ESA - which is why SMART-1 has no launcher of its own.

  • In Situ Observations of the Preexisting Auroral Arc by THEMIS All Sky Imagers and the FAST Spacecraft
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 117, A05211, doi:10.1029/2011JA017128, 2012 In situ observations of the “preexisting auroral arc” by THEMIS all sky imagers and the FAST spacecraft Feifei Jiang,1 Robert J. Strangeway,1 Margaret G. Kivelson,1,2 James M. Weygand,1 Raymond J. Walker,1 Krishan K. Khurana,1 Yukitoshi Nishimura,3 Vassilis Angelopoulos,1 and Eric Donovan4 Received 6 September 2011; revised 25 January 2012; accepted 6 March 2012; published 5 May 2012. [1] Auroral substorms were first described more than 40 years ago, and their atmospheric and magnetospheric signatures have been investigated extensively. However, because magnetic mapping from the ionosphere to the equator is uncertain especially during active times, the magnetospheric source regions of the substorm-associated features in the upper atmosphere remain poorly understood. In optical images, auroral substorms always involve brightening followed by poleward expansion of a discrete auroral arc. The arc that brightens is usually the most equatorward of several auroral arcs that remain quiescent for 30 min or more before the break-up commences. In order to identify the magnetospheric region that is magnetically conjugate to this preexisting arc, we combine auroral images from ground-based imagers, magnetic field and particle data from low-altitude spacecraft, and maps of field-aligned currents based on ground magnetometer arrays. We surveyed data from the THEMIS all sky imager (ASI) array and the FAST spacecraft from 2007 to April 2009 and obtained 5 events in which the low altitude FAST spacecraft crossed magnetic flux tubes linked to a preexisting auroral arc imaged by THEMIS ASI prior to substorm onset.
