The Antarctic Sun, October 29, 2006 October 29, 2006 Ozone hole breaks two records Season marks 20th anniversary since fi rst Antarctic visit to study depletion Peter Rejcek Sun staff It’s not the sort of record you like to see broken, particularly if you live in the Southern Hemisphere. Scientists from various agencies and universities measuring ozone depletion over Antarctica say this year’s annual ozone hole not only matches the largest hole in area on record, but it is also the deepest that’s ever formed. On Sept. 24 of this year, the Antarctic ozone hole reached a one-day record of 29.5 million square kilometers, an area that spans the entire continent and spills over into parts of Australia and South America. That’s roughly the same size as the record-setting hole that appeared over the region in 2000. But the vertical disappearance of ozone Peter Rejcek / The Antarctic Sun is even more pronounced than in previous Jennifer Mercer, left, and Wiesje Mooiweer prepare ozonesondes for a balloon flight in the Crary Science and Engineering Center before a launch on Oct. 15.

Web address: AntarcticSun.usap.gov October 29, 2006 The Antarctic Sun • 3 New lab shows USAP from a different angle By Steven Profaizer Sun staff In a land where boxy, military-style buildings rule, the triangular TerraLab at Palmer Station is a dramatic departure from the architectural roots of the U.S. Antarctic Program. And with 12 different science projects compiling data in the 134- square-meter building, it also represents one of the highest concentrations of sci- ence on the continent. “The initial spec was that TerraLab was just going to be big enough to house the new International Monitoring System equipment [for detecting nuclear deto- nations and seismic activity],” said Rob Edwards, who was laboratory supervisor at Palmer Station during the early plan- ning stages of the facility. “But it then got enlarged so that it would include existing geophysical projects at Palmer.” This new plan allowed for the geophysi- cal experiments contained in two older labs — T5 and Clean Air — to be consolidated with the International Monitoring System (IMS) equipment under one roof. “T5 was dilapidated and needed some work done to it anyway,” said Cara Sucher, Christina Hammock / Special to The Antarctic Sun laboratory manager at Palmer Station at the TerraLab sits on a hill overlooking Palmer Station. The new building now houses the science time of construction. equipment that was contained in two older labs, as well as new monitoring equipment. The Clean Air Lab was in no better shape.

  • Kachemak Bay, Alaska: an Exploration of People and Place
    Kachemak Bay, Alaska: An Exploration of People and Place Exhibit Evaluation I had not realized the commitment and value of each individual to the community. -Visitor Prepared for the Pratt Museum by Visitor Studies Services 2004 Kachemak Bay, Alaska: An Exploration of People and Place Exhibit Evaluation by Wendy Meluch of Visitor Studies Services, 2004 Abstract Extensive research of the exhibit, Kachemak Bay, Alaska: An Exploration of People and Place shows it to be popular and effective with visitors on every communication and affective goal set forth in the Exhibit Master Plan. Research also finds that Community Collaborators who helped to create exhibit elements found the experience deeply meaningful and satisfying, meeting every desired cognitive, affective and behavioral outcome established for the collaboration programs. Pre- and post-test surveys of the exhibit as a whole, and specific elements in it, and two observational studies in the exhibit involved nearly 600 visitors to the Pratt Museum. In most studies, Travelers and Area Residents used distinct survey instruments and are considered separately for analysis. Over 30 Community Collaborators responded to lengthy questionnaire forms, sharing deeply personal experiences and revelations about their participation. ii Acknowledgements Just as the Kachemak Bay Exhibit could only be birthed by extensive collaboration among many talented and smart individuals, so this research was born of the cooperative efforts of many capable people. Betsy Webb, Curator of Collections at the Pratt Museum and wearer of many other hats as well, was instrumental to every phase of this research. The hundreds of visitor surveys could not have been conducted without Gale Parsons and Shannon Riley, and their careful guidance of the Museum’s summer interns.

Then came eight days sitting on the beige, sixties-style carpet of my grandmother’s living room, staring at the corn-to-every-horizon through the window, listening to my mother insist she would never leave Ohio, that she would retire right where I had been born. Grandma Marie would nod sleepily, her head popping up to exclaim, “I jus’ wish you kids weren’t gone half s’much,” before tucking her chin once more. Even as a child I knew these were not “vacations,” at least, not the way my schoolmates used the word—excursions to the Rocky Mountains or San Francisco, to Virginia Beach, New York City or Disney World.

All rights reserved. Author permissions are required to reprint all or part of this work. www.twilightzonemuseum.com * www.facebook.com/twilightzonemuseum Preface At this late date, little has not been said about The Twilight Zone. It’s often imitated, appropriated, used – but never remotely matched. From its quiet and decisively non-ostentatious beginnings, it steadily grew into its status as an icon and televisional gemstone…and not only changed the way we looked at the world but became an integral part of it. But this isn’t to say that the talk of it has been evenly distributed. Certain elements, and full episodes, of the Rod Serling TV show get much more attention than others. Various characters, plot elements, even plot devices are well-known to many. But I dare say that there’s a good amount of the series that remains unknown to the masses. In particular, there has been very much less talk, and even lesser scholarly treatment, of the second half of the series. This “study” is two decades in the making. It started from a simple episode guide, which still exists. Out of it came this work. The timing is right. In 2019, the series turns sixty years old.

  • TZPT128 Nothing in the Dark
    This is the transcript of The Twilight Zone Podcast for deaf or hard of hearing fans of The Twilight Zone. I hope it will be of some. Please bear in mind that these notes are made for me to riff on and read from, so the style and cadence may be different from if they were written for an article, and much as I've tried to clean them up they may be rough round the edges in places. Best Wishes – Tom Elliot The audio version of this podcast can be downloaded HERE Nothing in the Dark Introduction: In the multiverse that is The Twilight Zone, I often try to make sense of why it does what it does. Why some are punished while others aren't. It's easy to see why the cosmic justice dished out to some is “deserved” but then every now and then something happens seemingly for no reason at all. It's in our nature as humans to try to make order out of chaos, and in our nature as fans, to try to join the dots – to create continuity where there perhaps is none. In this show, the only true constant is our host Rod Serling. And you could argue that Rod Serling isn't a character in the show but I would argue differently. There is Rod Serling the writer who comes on-screen after the story has finished and tells you what's coming next week. But then there's The Rod Serling who introduces and closes out our episode with beautifully phrased insight and poetry.

Includes the collection of articles on “How the tent city ruined night time beach access for everyone.” Compiled by Derek Harbaugh January 6th, 2015 1 “Fun, but watch out at night” Reviewed January 6, 2015 NEW The boardwalk has lots of colourful shops and cafes - we had a great lunch at the Venice Ale House (ordered a coconut water which came in a real coconut, lovely surprise!) We stayed in Marina del Rey and walked through Venice to get to Santa Monica - it was a fairly long walk (around 4 miles) but we really enjoyed taking in the scenery on foot. However, after the sun set we didn't feel safe and witnessed quite a few fights and confrontations going on. Beware! Visited September 2014 “Mixed feelings” Reviewed January 5, 2015 NEW I was saying at a hotel close to venice beach. The boardwalk has some nice shops and eateries , along with many street vendors. It can has performers, tattoo artists, street artists vying for your attention and that can be fun.
