[email protected] PAGE 2 | JIB SHEET Commodore’s Comments Nicole Ferry August has been rocking along at PYC. Have you seen the new pool bar? No more will you have to get out of the pool, dry off and do the same for your children to order food/drinks from inside. One of the newest additions to our staff is Trici, our poolside bartender. Trici will be poolside on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. We have stocked the bar with a huge selection of drinks that are just perfect for pool lounging. A huge “THANK YOU” to Greg Spitzer for building the bar! It is everything our Board ever dreamed of for PYC, a dream that began more than 13 years ago. A small reminder: Please wear a cover-up and shoes if you come into our Club (kids too). Don’t forget. You can’t be dripping wet. We would like to maintain our new carpet as long as possible. I hope that you were able to join us for our second Seafood Fest on Friday, August 9th. It sold out, with us serving right at 140 members. I ate frog legs for the first time! Who knew? They really do taste like chicken! Chef Artie never disappoints and the entertainment was fantastic (Photos, Page 9). Upcoming is our Labor Day Celebration. We will have waterslides for the kids, a cornhole for the older ones and a free Americana Buffet. Be sure to make reservations! It’s a good day to be a PYC member. Again, don’t forget to mark your calendar for October 18th. We are having a Ladies Dinner Dance. It is so named for a long- time tradition that Commodore’s spouse would organize the dance with a theme to raise money for a selected project. Imagine my husband’s surprise when he realized it was all on him! Ha! Thank you to Karen Allen and Ruth Smith for helping Chris plan what should be a great evening with friends. It will be a casino-themed black tie event with a tent outside. Entertainment will be provided by the band “Paperchase.” We wish to thank each and every sponsor, thus far. As I write this, we anticipate adding more. This should be a great Friday night event you won’t want to miss! NOTE: This is not on Saturday, in order to avoid SEC/ACC football. Geaux Tigers! (See Ladies Dinner Dance Ad & Sponsor List on Page 10.) Lastly, I hope you have found “sunshine and salt” this summer. I have now sailed, I should say raced, in 4 regattas this summer. It is really an experience. One thing to note, for those of you who are still fighting the “I know I should learn to sail” feeling, everything “stays in the boat.” Nothing exists outside it. So, for those of you who have crazy kids (like mine), or who have hectic jobs, sailing is for you! This summer, we had the most kids in Sailing Camp ever; but - now that summer sailing is over, amazing Sailing Director César Travado has more free time for private and group lessons. When we were hunting for a sailing director, I never imagined that we would find someone who has made such a positive impact on our Club. Thank you to our team of members who found him. This summer, he has increased our Junior Campers to 265 and our Adult Summer Sailing participants to 21. Ok, one more thing. Thank you to our Fish Class sailors who competed in Mobile at the Summer Regatta. The winning skipper, Neil McMillan, presented me with a hat like those awarded to his winning crew! You will be seeing me wearing it at PYC. Again, “Sunshine and Salt!” Protecting our youth! Jaws Night - “Shark Patrol” My new hat! Thanks, Neil! PAGE 3 | JIB SHEET Vice Commodore’s Comments Johnny Smith The new bar at poolside is now complete with the granite counter top and tile facing that matches the pool furniture. It looks great! The bar is doing a brisk business and is a great addition to the pool area. Thanks to Commodore Ferry for pushing this project through and to Greg Spitzer and his crew for building it. The permitting for the repairs to the concrete decking between the crane and south bulkhead, as well as the erosion problem at the east marina, have been finalized and a contract signed with Dale’s Marine Construction to perform the repairs. We are happy that repairs will begin soon. A new gutter system is being installed on the east-facing porch before the end of August. This will allow more of the porch to be used when its raining. The Hospitality Committee will purchase two crepe myrtle trees for the driveway area in honor of Ann Owczarczak. “Persistence” Update: Troendle Marine, at Pensacola Shipyard, is now performing repairs on our new Race Committee Boat “Persistence.” Delays have been caused by the unusually wet weather we’re experiencing, but we expect to have the boat in the marina and ready to enter service by mid-September. As a reminder to all members, if

  • Petition to List the Relict Leopard Frog (Rana Onca) As an Endangered Species Under the Endangered Species Act
    BEFORE THE SECRETARY OF INTERIOR PETITION TO LIST THE RELICT LEOPARD FROG (RANA ONCA) AS AN ENDANGERED SPECIES UNDER THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT CENTER FOR BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY SOUTHERN UTAH WILDERNESS ALLIANCE PETITIONERS May 8, 2002 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The relict leopard frog (Rana onca) has the dubious distinction of being one of the first North American amphibians thought to have become extinct. Although known to have inhabited at least 64 separate locations, the last historical collections of the species were in the 1950s and this frog was only recently rediscovered at 8 (of the original 64) locations in the early 1990s. This extremely endangered amphibian is now restricted to only 6 localities (a 91% reduction from the original 64 locations) in two disjunct areas within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Nevada. The relict leopard frog historically occurred in springs, seeps, and wetlands within the Virgin, Muddy, and Colorado River drainages, in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona. The Vegas Valley leopard frog, which once inhabited springs in the Las Vegas, Nevada area (and is probably now extinct), may eventually prove to be synonymous with R. onca. Relict leopard frogs were recently discovered in eight springs in the early 1990s near Lake Mead and along the Virgin River. The species has subsequently disappeared from two of these localities. Only about 500 to 1,000 adult frogs remain in the population and none of the extant locations are secure from anthropomorphic events, thus putting the species at an almost guaranteed risk of extinction. The relict leopard frog has likely been extirpated from Utah, Arizona, and from the Muddy River drainage in Nevada, and persists in only 9% of its known historical range.

  • Environments of Intelligence
    Environments of Intelligence “An absorbing volume that integrates an extraordinarily wide area of work, with interesting observations and new twists right to the end.” Ruth Millikan, University of Connecticut, USA What is the role of the environment, and of the information it provides, in cognition? More specifically, may there be a role for certain artefacts to play in this context? These are questions that motivate “4E” theories of cognition (as being embodied, embedded, extended, enactive). In his take on that family of views, Hajo Greif first defends and refines a concept of information as primarily natural, environmen- tally embedded in character, which had been eclipsed by information-processing views of cognition. He continues with an inquiry into the cognitive bearing of some artefacts that are sometimes referred to as “intelligent environments”. With- out necessarily having much to do with Artificial Intelligence, such artefacts may ultimately modify our informational environments. With respect to human cognition, the most notable effect of digital computers is not that they might be able, or become able, to think but that they alter the way we perceive, think and act. Hajo Greif teaches at the Munich Center for Technology in Society (MCTS), Technical University of Munich, Germany, and the Department of Philosophy, University of Klagenfurt, Austria. His research interests cover the philosophy – and some of the history and the social studies – of science and technology, as well as the philosophy of mind.

    AUGUST 2011 United States Department of Agriculture Monitoring and Forest Service Evaluation Report Pacific Northwest Region Willamette National Forest Fiscal Year 2011 Ames Creek, Sweet Home, Oregon i AUGUST 2011 ii AUGUST 2011 Welcome to the 2011 Willamette National Forest annual Monitoring and Evaluation report. This is our 23th year implementing the 1990 Willamette National Forest Plan, and this report is intended to give you an update on the services and products we provide. Our professionals monitor a wide variety of forest resources and have summarized their findings for your review. As I reviewed the Forest Plan Monitoring Report I got an opportunity to see the work our specialists are doing in one place and I can’t help but share my appreciation with what the Willamette’s resource specialists are accomplishing. I am overwhelmed by the effort our professionals are doing to get the work done and complete necessary monitoring under declining budgets. Our specialists have entered into partnerships, written grants, and managed volunteers in addition to working with numerous local and federal agencies. We are in the community and hope you enjoying the forests. I invite you to read this year’s report and contact myself or my staff with any questions, ideas, or concerns you may have. I appreciate your continued interest in the Willamette National Forest. Sincerely, MEG MITCHELL Forest Supervisor Willamette National Forest r6-will-009-11 The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, and where applicable, sex, marital status, familial status, parental status, religion, sexual orientation, genetic information, political beliefs, reprisal, or because all or part of an individual's income is derived from any public assistance program.

  • APPLICATION NOTE Amplitude and Phase Characterization 3333 of Ultrashort Laser Pulses
    APPLICATION NOTE Amplitude and Phase Characterization 3333 of Ultrashort Laser Pulses Technology and Applications Center Newport Corporation “In order to measure an event in time, you need an even shorter event.” Rick Trebino, Inventor of Frequency Resolved Optical Grating. 1. Introduction As a consequence of the time-bandwidth uncertainty principle, ultrashort laser pulses carry significant bandwidth. If the spectral components that fall under the bandwidth of the laser pulse are time coincident (figure 1.1), the pulse is said to be at its transform limit. A transform-limited pulse implies that the pulse duration is minimized. Figure 1.2: The temporal relationship between selected Fourier components of a positively chirped pulse. the complete reconstruction of the electric field. Of these techniques, frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) is arguably the most straightforward and easiest to implement. As mentioned earlier, FROG allows for full phase retrieval of the input field without the ambiguity associated with autocorrelation. This note presents a simple, low dispersion, easy-to-use, general purpose FROG device that can be readily implemented on the Newport Long Scan Autocorrelator platform as described in Application Note 27. FROG is a general technique and can be employed in a variety Figure 1.1: The temporal relationship between selected Fourier components of a of experimental geometries, a few of which are listed in transform-limited pulse.
