Dusk at Wasatch, oil on canvas, 30" x 48" by Gary Ernest Smith
Oregon-born Gary Ernest Smith didn't mean to send down roots in Utah. "I came to Utah as a student and didn't intend to stay," he says. But decades later, Smith is still here. "I was seduced by the landscape."
Smith, a nationally known landscape artist, lives in a rolling wooded ravine near Highland where he has a panoramic northern view from his spacious studio. He points to the horizon, covered with tract houses.
"None of that was there when I built this house," he says. "It'll look like Los Angeles out there before we know it."
Smith's work is notable for showing the hand of man upon the land—freshly plowed fields, a hogan nestled in a red rock canyon, farmers with gimme caps set against the mountains. But it's obvious he doesn't find the suburban explosion around him charming. Smith's canvases, like Utah's landscape, are big and they depict a detailed emptiness. Furrows in the mud of a field, dusted with snow, flow toward the horizon.
"When it comes to landscape, I search for the essence," Smith says. "It's about the all-encompassing. When you look to the details, you miss it."
Although many contemporary art critics and curators have pronounced painting "dead" and landscape painting even deader, artists like Smith—and Mark Knudsen and Scotty Mitchell and Trent Call—continue to find their inspirational wellspring in Utah's red rocks, high mountains and miles of free and tilled fields. Phillips Gallery, the oldest gallery in the Intermountain West, shows contemporary art of all kinds: landscapes, figurative and abstract. "But a lot of what we sell is landscapes," says Hadley Rampton, the gallery's fine art consultant and an artist herself. She estimates half the gallery's sales are landscapes. "There's a tradition of landscape painting in the West and now you have a lot of different ways to paint a landscape. Landscapes can be representational but often they're just the starting point, the inspiration."

Utah's grip on artists' imaginations is nothing new. Since the 1850s (and long before, if you include Anasazi pictographs) the canyons and mountains have compelled a response from artists like Thomas Moran, Everett Ruess, LeConte Stewart and Maynard Dixon. Many of the early landscape paintings were representational, but as Rampton points out, "Every artist sees and feels something different in a landscape and that comes through in the art." Every painting shows the relation of the human to the landscape.
Early painters like Moran and Frederick Dellenbaugh were explorers as well artists; their depictions of the wonders of the West were instrumental in the creation of national parks. But the land compelled even early painters to try to convey more than just what they were looking at. "Bierstadt, for example, exaggerated everything," says Donna Poulton, former curator of Art of the West at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. "The early artists didn't just want you to know what it looked like—they wanted you to know what it felt like to be there." Moran, she says, changed the scenery in his paintings to convey the feeling of claustrophobia in the Narrows of Zion. Maynard Dixon's paintings show the "inherent modernism of the Utah landscape."
A young modern art curator recently complained that good contemporary art was hard to find in Utah because the overwhelming scenery turns everyone into landscape artists.
The anecdote amuses Smith, but he agrees: "You cannot not be influenced by what you are seeing in Utah." Still, he says, "Good landscape art is intellectual. You cannot be sensitive to your environment and not see the patterns" and "have a philosophic reaction to it." Some artists' paintings emphasize their reaction more than the landscape itself. Utah-born Doug Snow, successful in New York as a modern artist, retreated to Utah to create a unique abstract take on the land. Judges considered Snow's powerful landscape Conflict and Resolution on the wall of the Utah Supreme Court so disturbing that they ordered it covered with a curtain during hearings.
Snow told another artist, "This place is it. Art in this country would be a more meaningful force if more artists took advantage of where they are planted."
Union Overpass, oil on canvas, 30" x 48" by Gary Ernest Smith
Poulton says the Utah landscape can be frustrating to modern artists because "it's already abstracted." She recalls that before Robert Smithson created Spiral Jetty, the legendary land artist flew in a small plane over Southern Utah searching for a place to make an artistic mark. He came back dejected, telling his wife, "It's all so spectacular, there's nothing for me to do." In the end, he got over it to bulldoze 7,000 tons of black basalt into his iconic jetty, shaped in a spiral that echoes Anasazi pictographs.
The land had a similar impact on German surrealist Max Ernst. "If you look at Ernst's normal work, it is so bizarre," says Poulton. "But when he went to Bryce Canyon, he must have looked at this landscape and thought, 'I can't make this more abstract than it already is.' He was forced—in spite of himself—to paint a representational painting."
Artist Mark Knudsen says, "The best of Western landscape painters don't paint the desert because it is spectacular. They paint it because it is transcendent. The landscape of the West is, not just for artists but for many others as well, a key part of our existential answer. It is our passage to a world undivided."
Rampton herself is an artist who has been seduced by the landscape. An avid plein air painter, she says that painting is always a three-way dialogue between the painter, the subject and the painting itself. The landscape has a lot to say. And, as Smith says, "It demands a response."

Newport Beach Waiting 6 Months For Check from Obama Campaign
Content here to stay updated on the latest from Foster Friess
Let's ask those rich people for donations then stick 'em with the bill!
In case you were wondering, it costs somewhere to the tune of $35,000 to post security for a presidential visit to a private home in an upscale California community. Oh and the taxpayers end up paying for it. Did the Obama campaign forget to mention that?
In February, President Obama visited Newport Beach for a fundraiser, but neither his campaign, nor his party, has reimbursed the city for their troubles.
Mitt Romney, on the other hand, sent his check to Orange County right after his visit.
Is this nitpicking? Maybe, assuming the campaign eventually sends the money. But it just shows the level of disregard and carelessness with which the Big Government crowd views money.

The study of economics deals with the issue of scarcity. Questions on what to produce, how goods and services will be produced and how produced goods and services are distributed in society, represents the kinds of questions economists deal with on a daily basis. In other words, economics explores how do we use scarce resources to satisfy unlimited wants in society. The study of economics utilizes historical data, theoretical models and empirical evidence to explain the behavior of individuals, firms and nations in producing and consuming goods and services.

> Mortgages
One of the biggest reasons people get into financial trouble is
by refusing to admit when there's a problem. Even when signs are
readily apparent -- missed credit card payments or difficulty meeting
end-of-month bills -- most Canadians prefer a stoic, "I can
handle it," approach.
But if you're having trouble coming up with the cash
to make your mortgage payments, it's time to get your head out of
the sand.
"You should call your lender right away,"
says Josée Gosselin, a mortgage expert with Mouvement Desjardins
in Montreal. "It takes a long time to build up a credit history,
but it can vanish in an instant."
Gosselin should know. She has 16 years of experience
in the credit approval business, and during that time she's learned
to spot trouble early. And like most Mouvement Desjardins credit
experts, she's been doing a pretty good job.
Desjardins runs one of the most efficient mortgage
operations in the country. Only 0.25 percent of the company's $41
billion in outstanding mortgage holdings are in arrears compared
to 0.33 percent of the $539.9 billion that were owed to Canadian
financial institutions as a group at the end of 2002.
So if you're looking for advice, you can't do much
better than Gosselin. And her advice is to act fast.
"No financial institution likes to be surprised
by a missed payment or a bounced cheque," she says. "But
if you call your adviser in advance, something can usually be worked
Like most of the financial services lenders we talked
to, Gosselin is reluctant to give detailed advice. "It's hard
because every case is different," she says. "That's one
of the reasons that good communication [with your lender] is so
According Gosselin, most typical short-term problems
-- such as an accumulation of credit card debt -- can be handled
through a consolidation loan. Debt consolidation usually stretches
out payments over a longer period of time and typically has the
added benefit of being carried at lower interest rates.
Another option available to many borrowers is the
"skip payment" option, which is built into many mortgages,
according to Jim Rawson, sales manager at mortgage broker Invis.
Desjardins does not offer a skip-payment option, but in practice,
they will allow it in special circumstances.
A much more common alternative at Desjardins is to
allow the customer to simply make interest payments on the outstanding
debt, skipping the principal. This small relief can be a big help,
particularly when a mortgage is in its later stages and the principal
comprises a significant portion of the payment.
In any case, if you have to skip a mortgage payment,
you should take it as a signal that all is not well with your financial
planning strategy. One good option, says Jannick Desforges, who
handles legal affairs at Options Consommateurs, a Quebec-based consumer
rights association, is to visit a nonprofit credit counselling
"Most provinces have them, and they will generally
provide budgeting advice free of charge," says Desforges.
Longer-term challenges
If you face longer-term financial imbalance, from unforeseen expenses
or a significant drop in pay, there are number of options available,
says Rawson.
Banks will generally show significant flexibility
in increasing your amortization period, especially when a consumer
has a built up a certain amount of equity in his house. An amortization
extension is a fairly routine occurrence, although you will be charged
a nominal fee.
If you are really hard up, you can also opt to refinance
your home. Refinancing enables you to take out new money on your
mortgage by borrowing against increases in your house's value and
your equity in it, which may have built up over the years.
However to get refinanced, you'll have to have your
house re-appraised and revisit the notary, so there will be additional
fees involved.
Act early
The bottom line, says Gosselin, is that both consumers and financial
institutions have everything to gain by acting early when financial
difficulties are in the air.
"There is nothing worse than having to foreclose
on a mortgage," says Gosselin. "Very often, there isn't
only one person living in the house, which means a lot of people
are affected."
Banks also often lose money on a foreclosure because
of high carrying costs, legal fees and the fact that repossessions
are, by definition, sold as quickly as possible, which does not
always coincide with a hot resale market.
"It's much better to plan ahead," says Gosselin.
"That way everybody wins."

Diabetes War: Community TV
Richard Cohen:
Dr. Robin Goland is co-director of the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center at Columbia University. Father Andrew Fornal is a chaplain at Columbia University and has type 2 diabetes. Dr. Goland, explain to us the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Robin Goland:
Type 2 diabetes is an enormous problem in this country and all over the world. All forms of diabetes cause the blood sugar, the glucose, to be high. About 24 million people in the United States have diabetes. About 90% have type 2 where insulin, the primary hormone that moves the sugar into the cells for fuel, doesn't work normally. The other 10%, they don't make insulin normally, so they're lacking insulin and that's why their blood sugar is high.
Now the epidemic that we read about is really type 2, isn't it?
Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are increasing in incidence. Type 2 diabetes is really exploding. This is the form that's most tied to growing older, growing heavier, and not doing enough activity or exercise.
Again, for those who don't quite understand, what does the illness do to you?
Poorly controlled diabetes over years, even if the patient feels fine, poorly controlled blood sugars can lead to blindness, to amputation, to kidney failure, to heart attack, and to stroke. The good news, though, if you know you have diabetes, is that we can help people keep the blood sugar close to normal and prevent those complications.
Explode a myth for us. Is type 2 diabetes a lifestyle disease?
Both types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, start out by being genetic. If you don't have the genes for those diseases, you don't get diabetes. So there are several myths. One is that the patients brought it upon themselves. Not true. Although it is true that once you get it, there are a lot of things you can do just by changing how you eat and changing how you exercise to make it better. Another really important myth to explode is that type 2 diabetes is somehow the kinder and gentler form of diabetes, that "oh my goodness, thank goodness that I don't have the juvenile type 1 dangerous form of the disease." No form of diabetes is good. It would be really good to cure both types of diabetes, but type 2 diabetes is just as concerning as type 1 diabetes.
How does it correlate with the increase in obesity that we read about?
So the rise in obesity in this country and all over the world almost exactly parallels the rise in type 2 diabetes. We've estimated that if we can stop this epidemic of obesity, which is not easy to do, we could eliminate 60, 70, 80% of type 2 diabetes. Another really important statistic is if you find out that you are at very high risk for diabetes, if you have pre-diabetes -- your blood sugars are creeping up but not quite yet enough to give you a diagnosis of diabetes -- we know that if you exercise just a little and change your diet just a little, lose just a little weight, you reduce your risk by 60%. So that's huge. It's just really hard to do.
But why is it so hard to do?
Well, because people are pretty set in their ways. They develop their habits and I could give you some examples of people who have trouble putting themselves first. Often we take care of other people, we take care of our families, we take care of our parishioners, of our patients, and ...
Are you talking about anybody in particular?
Perhaps ...
Father Andrew?
What kind of a patient are you?
I'm a terrible patient.
There's always in my mind that I should be for somebody else, and as a pastor of the church, as a priest, this inclination is very strong, and so sometimes I try to -- I'm neglecting myself and my health. It is in giving time to the other person. And so that's why I'm the terrible patient.
What should Father Andrew be doing that he's not doing?
Well, we try to meet people where they start, and that's why in order to be a good caregiver for somebody with diabetes, it's important that there be access to a whole team: the doctor, the nurse, the nutritionist, a psychologist, 'cause it's complicated. This is not going to be a five-minute office visit because how people eat and how they view illness, how they view their impact on preventing something that has no symptoms, that might not happen for 10 years. We have to get to know each other and we have to figure out what he can fit into his life and do what he loves doing and still remain healthy. And everybody's different.

College Hockey:Clarkson Outlasts St. Lawrence
Kolu, Traylen Key Golden Knights
POTSDAM, N.Y. — Rookie Max Kolu scored his first collegiate goal and sophomore Dustin Traylen made 36 saves to lead the Clarkson Golden Knights to a 3-1 victory over the St. Lawrence Saints in front of a Cheel Arena crowd of 3,817.
"It's incredible to get this win," Traylen said. "It would have been overwhelming to have lost."
"For me, this was very nerve-wracking," said Clarkson coach George Roll of his first experience as head coach in the North Country rivalry. "It is a relief that it's finally over."
In the other locker room, a veteran of many a Clarkson-St. Lawrence battle knew what to expect.
"It was an awesome hockey game," said Saints coach Joe Marsh. "There was a lot of emotion. It was a fast game, a hard working game."
Despite 13 combined power plays, seven in the first period, the game was scoreless through 20 minutes, with few scoring opportunities. However, two things became crystal-clear right away — the netminders were sharp and referee Tim Kotyra was going to call everything.
"There were a lot of penalties," Marsh said, "but it wasn't nasty. There was a lot of discipline. It was a good effort — a clean game."
"It was a struggle," said Roll, "to get any flow with all of the penalties. It was not chippy, but that's the way he chose to call it.
"The calls were hockey calls and not about being undisciplined. Last Friday we had [Tim] and he let things go. Tonight he called a lot more. I think we thought that because of last week, he'd call it the same way tonight. But he didn't."
And Kotyra would be heard from again before the game was decided.
Clarkson (5-3-3, 2-2-1 ECAC), meanwhile, jumped on the board first at 13:45 of the second period when Kolu, the Finnish native, notched his first with the Knights on an excellent setup by linemate Tristan Lush.
After Jean Desrochers poked a loose puck into the left corner, Lush picked it up and skated behind the St. Lawrence net. Instead of continuing around the cage, however, he centered the puck back to the left side where Kolu was set up at the bottom of the circle. His one-timer, at 13:45, beat Saints' netminder Mike McKenna, who like all others in the arena, had not expected Lush to make the pass.
St. Lawrence (3-8-3, 2-3-0) had a fantastic opportunity to tie the game later in the period when Kotyra became the center of attention.
The Knights were on the power play and preparing to line up for a defensive zone faceoff when they realized they had only four men on the ice. As the forwards stood signaling the bench for an additional skater, rookie defenseman Matt Nickerson jumped over the boards only to have Kotyra wave him away and whistle Clarkson for delay of game.
After a brief stint of four-on-four play, St. Lawrence took control of the action while on the ensuing power play. With just over a minute to go in the period the Saints' leading goal scorer, T.J. Trevelyan, found himself alone to the left of Traylen with a wide open net. Unfortunately for St. Lawrence, the puck bounced as it approached Trevelyan's stick and his shot rolled wide.
"We're getting better at it," said Marsh about the Saints' power play. "We need to find ways to do more. It's been our Achilles' heel."
Entering the third period with a lead would normally make a team feel somewhat at ease, but not Clarkson. Going into this contest, the Knights were 2-2-2 when leading after 40 minutes.
Just 1:05 into the period, however, Clarkson gave itself some breathing room when Mac Faulkner redirected Mike Nagai's point shot off the far post for his seventh of the year.
The endless trips to the penalty box finally came back to haunt the Knights at 4:44 when St. Lawrence's John Zeiler notched his fifth of the season. Trevelyan attracted the attention of three Clarkson skaters at center ice before dishing an excellent outlet pass across the ice that hit Zeiler's stick in full stride. The sophomore faked his way around a Clarkson defenseman before making a move on Traylen that allowed him to wrist the puck into the net.
Traylen was up to the task on every other shot he faced, though, making some key saves in the third period as St. Lawrence increased its pressure on the Knights.
"He's been pretty good all year," said Roll, "but he was outstanding tonight. Without him, we don't win. He was the best player out there."
The game remained 2-1 until late in the third period when Kotyra once again made his presence felt. With McKenna pulled for an extra attacker and St. Lawrence controlling play, the Saints prepared for a faceoff deep in the Knights' zone. As a fresh player hopped onto the ice for a late change, Kotyra waived him away and called St. Lawrence for delay of game at 19:10.
"I feel pretty bad about that," said Marsh. "I have to take the blame. Apparently, our bench had been warned, but I didn't realize that. It's my fault. It's important that if I'm running the bench, I should have been told. But I'll take the blame."
The penalty took all momentum away from St. Lawrence and, 36 seconds later, Desrochers skated in alone from the red line for the empty net power play goal — his fourth tally of the year.
McKenna finished the game with 29 saves. The Knights were 1-6 on the power play, while the Saints were 1-7. Clarkson, which beat the Saints for the first time since the 2002 ECAC playoffs, and St. Lawrence return next weekend to being travel partners as they visit Harvard and Brown.

Fatima Spar's Vienna
Fatima Spar Is A Musician Who Has Won Acclaim By Combining Balkan Melodies With Swing And Jazz. We Asked Her About Vienna, Where She Has Lived For 16 Years.
How has Vienna influenced your music?
There are no Viennese in our band, Fatima Spar and The Freedom Fries. The band members are Turkish, Irish, American, Serbian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian and Austrian. But our music was born in Vienna. The city introduced me to musical styles I hadn't been interested in before and musicians with whom I wanted to play.
How does one tour Vienna through music?
Although Vienna is known more for classical music, it's a perfect city of music in every sense. It's full of venues making music of every kind from pop and jazz to ethnic and electronic. Students flock to the conservatories from all over the world. Because it is in the heart of Europe, lots of musicians, from upcoming bands future to world famous artists, give concerts in Vienna.
Fall in Vienna… What's it like?
Our fall is short but sweet. The streets are deserted when summer ends and the schools open. Strolling down streets covered with a colorful carpet of fallen leaves is a source of peace and inspiration for artists.
Famous for its gardens and fountains, Schönbrunn Palace has 1200 rooms.
The 18th century Karlskirche stands out for its interesting architecture.
The garden of the Hofburg Imperial Palace.
The colorful dwellings called Hundertwasserhaus.

Health Insurance Premiums: Up or Down?
An opening tussle at the White House health summit centered on one of the most vexing aspects of the health overhaul: will the Democrats' bill lower insurance premiums?
Sen. Lamar Alexander (R., Tenn.) touched off a debate with President Barack Obama, saying that the Democrats' bill wouldn't actually lower most consumers' insurance costs. The president replied that the Congressional Budget Office, the nonpartisan scorekeeper on Capitol Hill, had found the Senate bill would lower insurance premiums by 14% to 20%. As to the criticism that it could send premiums up, he said, that's only because certain consumers would be buying more-comprehensive coverage. "They didn't say that the actual premiums would be going up," Obama told Alexander.
The actual impacts of the bill are more complicated. Overall, the report that the president cited found that, for most Americans, the Senate bill would keep their insurance premiums roughly the same. Employees of small firms would effectively see their insurance premiums unchanged, while workers at large firms would see something between unchanged and slightly lower premiums under the bill, according to the analysis, which was released in late November.
More than half of people buying their own coverage would qualify for the new insurance tax credits, available to families of four earning up to $88,000 a year. Those credits would significantly lower their health-insurance costs, leaving them paying 56% to 59% less than if no bill were passed.
The wrinkle in whether this would actually increase premiums is that consumers buying policies on their own with a new insurance exchange would be required to buy plans that, on average, are more generous than the ones they currently have. Because of that, they would pay higher premiums, the report found.
So overall, the bills would mean that more consumers would pay less for their insurance.

Fans of Casey Kasem are sad this morning to hear the news that the television and radio personality has passed away. On Sunday, Entertainment Weekly shared the news that he passed away on Father's Day after a long battle. He has been ill for a while now but they have not revealed the actual cause of death as this time. Just a few days ago a judge revealed that they would be able to stop giving him the feeding tube that got him liquids and food.
The news came out straight from Casey's daughter Kerri. She shared it on social networks. Her father was surrounded by his family and passed away on Father's Day. Kerri shared the news that he was surrounded by family and friends when he passed away. This is amazing that things worked out that way considering the family has been at odds for a while. During part of the time when he was sick, Kerri wasn't even allowed in to see her father.
Casey Kasem was survived by his four children and his wife Jean Kasem. Casey was best know for his voice and you could never miss it if you heard him. He had the America's Top 40 radio show for almost 20 years. He also did voices for characters on several shows including "Scooby Doo." He played the role of Shaggy.
People shared that his first name was really Kemal. He retired back in 2009. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2006. Ever since then his health has been going down. His children said that his wife Jean Kasem was keeping the children away from him while he was ill and this continued the entire time. Luckily it sounds like they were all able to get along well enough in the end so that Casey Kasem could be surrounded by his family and friends as he passed away on Father's Day.

Reporter Christine Show says that many of the people with whom she's speaking at the Lake Square Mall say it's their very first time shopping on Black Friday.
At JCPenney, which had been open since 4 a.m., the crowd was pretty light.
Jacqueline Willis, of Tavares, said she'd been inspired to come to her first Black Friday by sales advertisements on television.
"I decided to get up and come out and see what I can find. I usually sleep during this time but I wanted to get some things and save," she said. "I'm saving a lot more this Christmas"
She already has bought some towels and undergarments — for herself
At Sears, the electronics department was the most crowded place in the store, as shoppers sought flat-screen TVs and cameras.
Shelley Ogburn, from Jacksonville, who had been visiting her parents in Lake County, always hits Black Friday sales, but said she's spending less this year.
"I want to conserve," she explained.
Joey Barton, 27, of Leesburg, had never been to Black Friday, but woke up early hoping to find a deal on a new plasma TV.
"I gotta do it to get to save some money," he said.

A hole in the ozone layer
Par Sophie Mouge. Correspondent aboard the Aurora Australis
Big areas of pack ice are surrounding the ship… For those of us present on the bridge this morning, this allows us to spot the first emperor penguins of the voyage!
Emperor penguin stranded on an ice floe.
This is the largest species of penguin, reaching 1.2 m in height. These birds are able to dive as deep as 560 meters for up to 20 minutes, and they have been shown to sometime feed on the bottom at depth under 400m. They eat mainly fish and sometimes squid. After mating, the males spend most of the winter in the rookerie on the fast ice, incubating their eggs. Male and female then alternate duties of brooding the chick and travels at sea to feed and bring food to the chicks.
The same emperor penguin in a horizontal position.
To keep from losing too much time breaking through the ice, the Voyage Leader and scientists decided to move the CASO program's CTD sampling areas. So we are traveling alongside the pieces of sea ice.
Pack ice around the Aurora Australis.
Scattered sea ice around the Aurora Australis with an iceberg in the background.
We often spend time on the helideck, which is close to our working rooms an dallows us to enjoy the permanent show of the Antarctic landscape around us, without straying away from our work for too long!
Scattered sea ice around the Aurora Australis.
Move around the ship we frequently spot Mark (researcher) and Emily (student) working in their prefab: because there is so little space for all the equipment, their laboratory is situated in a prefab on the deck where they can get the 110 v electrical current. Both of them work at the University of Washington at Seattle, in the US.
Emily inside the laboratory on the helideck.
Inside, Mark and Emily also use the samples brought up by the CTDs and are busy measuring the amount of CFCs in the ocean.
CFCs: Chlorofluorocarbons are gases that were created by humans for refrigeration! They include, for example, freon, the gas that used to be the cooling fluid in refrigerators and air conditioners. The 1987 Montreal Protocol banned production of CFCs.
Since the CFC were banned in 1987 the initial volume has been decreasing by just 1% per year…
Why are Mark and Emily interested in CFCs?
Because of the discovery in 1985 of a hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica, caused precisely by CFCs, which act by breaking two ozone molecules (O3) into three molecule of oxygen (O2). CFCs were emitted into the atmosphere in industrialized countries, then transported over the South Pole by atmospheric currents. During the southern winter, an enormous eddy, called the polar vortex, forms and concentrates the CFCs in the stratosphere (10 to 50 km above the Earth's surface).
Ozone at that altitude is a gas that is very useful to all living creatures because it absorbs UV rays, protecting organisms from their damaging effects (genetic mutations, for example, causing skin cancer in some of the most southerly countries of the world). Harvey Marchant mentioned yesterday that many planktonic organisms were dying because of the impact of UV in surface waters.
Why are Mark and Emily interested in CFCs in the Southern Ocean?
Gases are exchanged between the atmosphere and the ocean surface. That is how CFCs enter the water.
Experimental method:
Gases are dissolved in water. To separate them out, Mark and Emily inject the water into a machine that extracts the CFCs from the water.
Mark holds a syringe of sea water.
Sea water is injected into a machine with a syringe.
We are measuring three kinds of CFCs:
- CFC-11: CCl3F
- CFC-12: CCl2F2
- CFC-113 : CCl2FCClF2
They are apportioned using gas chromatography, which measures the amount of each CFC. Chromatography is a method of chemical analysis by which the components of a mixture are separated.
Here is an example of a graph of the data after they are processed:
Change in CFC-11 as a function of depth - CLIVAR data - X access: quantity of CFC in picomoles/kg. Y axis: depth in meters.
What does it show? The quantity of CFC is greater in surface waters then diminishes significantly starting at 200 meters down. Below 3,000 m, the quantity of CFC rises again.
What can we deduce? Agitation on the ocean surface lets the CFCs penetrate and dissolve in the water. That is why they are found mainly in the ocean surface.
Schematic of the concentration of CFC-12 as a function of pressure (hence depth) – CLIVAR data – The schematic groups data from the Southern Ocean along a profile and shows the existence of two zones that are rich in CFCs: the surface and the depths close to the bottom.
So what explains the presence of CFCs in deep waters that have no a priori connection with the surface?
Mark explains that Antarctic water plunges from the surface to abyssal depths, taking the CFCs with them. This current is well known to oceanographers as Antarctic Bottom Water.
Nice view from the CFC lab!
Humans created CFCs that created the disaggregating of the stratospheric ozone that protects us from UV. Cases of skin cancer have been established as fact in the most southern countries of the world. Since CFC production was stopped in 1987, the initial volume has diminished by only one percent a year.
But as the proverb says, "Every cloud has a silver lining." CFCs now serve as markers for oceanographers to track the movement of water masses in the ocean.

It's hard to believe that only a few years ago, as a nursing student, I wore a starched-white uniform trimmed in deep burgundy tones. The outfit included a white pinafore smock, attached to the front of the bodice with large, white buttons. This smock was designed to serve as a kind of bib, unbuttoning from the uniform at the shoulders and waist for ease of laundering.
As a new nursing student, I was thrilled to don my first "real" nursing outfit, but I soon realized that I was definitely not headed for any glamour shots in that uniform. It never failed to attract comments, and a few comical looks, from experienced nurses.
I wore the uniform to clinicals for over a year before our school decided to upgrade (and join the rest of the 21st Century) to a more modern look. The new uniform colors did not change, but these were more burgundy than white, and the scrubs were much more modern in appearance.
I was certainly more comfortable, physically and emotionally, in this new student uniform. It felt good to blend in with the other hospital staff. I no longer had to endure comments or stares. And, I no longer spent my mornings ironing the smocking on that snow-white pinafore.
While I no longer felt conspicuous, I also experienced a bit of a let down with the new uniform. I sensed a loss of individuality. After all, non-descript uniforms like scrubs can make everyone look and feel the same.
That sense of a lost (or blended) identity not only impacts the individual nurse. It can also affect patients and their guests.
How many times have patients told you that they have trouble telling "who's who" among the staff? I often hear patients say that they don't know if they are talking to a nurse, a doctor, or a member of the housekeeping staff. And no wonder! We are all walking around in some kind of scrubs.
One of our most senior professors in nursing school fought to keep the original uniform intact. After we adopted the newer, scrubbier outfits, she would often shake her head in dismay and sigh, "I can't tell the patients from the nurses these days. They are all going about in their pajamas!"
Soon after graduation, I was pleased to discover that scrubs do not have to be boring. There is a huge assortment of scrubs available, from colorful patterns to tailored duds. Once again, I could feel unique in my work attire, without feeling too conspicuous.
Some of my colleagues refer to these as "designer scrubs" and stubbornly refuse to buy them. But, I like to think that these scrubs are both professional and unique. A nicely designed set of scrubs does not have to be expensive or gaudy.
We often hear that professionals should "dress for success." Like it or not, our appearance sends a message to others: our patients, their loved ones, and our colleagues. And, I feel better about myself when my clothes fit well, and are neat and clean and attractive – even when my clothes are scrubs.
But how far should you take it? I know nurses who iron their scrubs before every shift. While I would never go to work in torn or wrinkled clothes, I rarely resort to ironing my scrubs. In most clinical environments, scrubs will not stay pressed for long, and I don't want my clothes to interfere with my ability to "roll up my sleeves" and work.
Do you think that a well-pressed uniform is important? Does your facility require a certain color of scrubs for each service (e.g., pale green for OR or blue for food service)? Do you opt for "designer scrubs" if they're allowed?

Are You a Member of the Designer Scrubs Set?
By Laura Webb, BSN-RN, MRP
3 comments:
I personally find that the cleanliness and neatness of the scrubs is more important - not talking about ironing them - but worn, faded scrubs are the worst. I wear my scrubs for 6 mos to one year then they are pitched and new ones ordered. I wear a very expensive brand of scrub as I like how they fit. I would love to see RN;s go back to an all white uniform instead of prints and colors.
- July 26, 2013 at 11:30 AM
I too would love to see nurses go back to an all white look. In my large metropolitan hospital, everyone wears the same color scrubs and patients constantly complain that they don't know who's who.
- August 6, 2013 at 5:56 AM
The hospital I just got hired on adopted a new "scrub-code" for all the departments. RNs can wear all ceil blue or white, OR green, CNAs wear navy, etc. Its funny because there are so many departments that there are still going to be such a large variety of different colors. I do however think it provides the facility a sense of uniformity. Something of which I think adds professionalism. And... ironing scrubs? I ain't got time for that :-)

Thirty-one-year-old Tom Decker was ambushed Thursday and shot twice while responding to a report of a suicidal man. He was married with two sons and two daughters.
His family on Saturday said the visitation would be Tuesday at 4 p.m. at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Cold Spring. The funeral will be Wednesday at 11 a.m. at Saint John's Abbey and University Church in Collegeville.
Below is a map of the procession map for Officer Decker. Out of respect, you are asked not follow this route exactly. However, you are able to watch from an adjacent street.
Up to 2,000 officers from around the country could attend Decker's funeral at St. John's Abbey and University Church in Collegeville. After the service, a procession will escort his casket through the community he served, and to St. Nicholas Catholic Cemetery in Luxemburg, where he will be buried.
Gov. Mark Dayton has ordered that flags at state and federal buildings be flown at half-staff until sunset Wednesday in Decker's honor.

Baseball Adopts Ray Fantel and Family Through Team IMPACT
This spring the Princeton baseball team won't just be warming up with training drills, they'll also be helping to warm the hearts of a special little boy and his family.
This past October the Tigers adopted five-year-old Ray Fantel, who suffers from spinal muscular atrophy type 1, and his family as honorary members of the team through their efforts with Team IMPACT, a group that works to improve the quality of life for children facing serious illnesses by pairing them with local sports teams.
Team IMPACT case manager Payson Sword explained, "For Team IMPACT kids, access to a team-based support system can be life changing—not to mention the smiles, laughter, and ability to look forward to the next practice or game instead of the next doctor's appointment or therapy."
When Ray and his older brother Ethan attended their first Princeton practice, they were presented with items they would need to root for their new teammates: t-shirts, megaphones, foam fingers, banners, sunflower seeds and bubble gum.
"The players really made the boys feel like a part of the team," said their mother, Marcy. "This has been such a positive aspect of both the boys' lives."
Getting involved and attending practices with the Tigers have been something the brothers look forward to. Players throw to Ethan in the batting cage and he participates in fielding and strength and conditioning drills, whileRay, who has never walked and cannot sit up without assistance, likes to lighten the mood during practice by driving his power wheelchair on the field.
The boys are not the only ones benefitting from the partnership. "Being part of Team IMPACT has been a tremendous experience for everyone associated with our team," said head coach Scott Bradley. "We have all really enjoyed getting to know the family, and our players look forward to the days Ray and Ethan come to practice. Watching how the Fantels live life is a great lesson for all of us. We look forward to sharing great memories."
Ray and his family look forward to cheering on Princeton when the team's home schedule opens on Saturday, Mar. 29 versus Harvard. The Fantels hope the community will join them in supporting a team focusing on not only runs, hits and strikes, but also in supporting one little boy who may never round the bases on his own but still plays with all his heart.

Special thanks to Team IMPACT for contributing to this story and Marcy Fantel for photographs.

I've just started knitting and I'm getting pretty good at it. I have a blog that serves as my baby book & random recollections. I want to start running after the kiddo is born and I am cleared to start new things.
As for new things...I used to write a lot. I've done some short stories that are floating around in my mind--they seem to link up in a novelish way, so I'm hoping to take up writing. I also got a great guitar and want to start learning that. I've asked for guitar lessons for Christmas. :)
Fact is, I get bored with stuff pretty quickly. I'll return to it in pretty short order, but I like to have a lot of things to learn about.
What about you? What hobbies do you have on your horizon?

Hearing the chairman of the House Committee on Health and Aging discuss what will be done to prop up the five state retirement systems, it appears the recent in-depth series about public pensions published by Ohio's major newspapers has resonated with the Republican majority in the General Assembly.
"There's absolutely no room, philosophically or otherwise, to ask the taxpayers via school levies or income-tax levies or whatever the case may be, to foot a higher bill," said state Rep. Lynn Wachtmann, R-Napoleon. "In my opinion, I think the taxpayers are extremely generous already."
The newspaper series, published in The Vindicator, revealed that the retirement benefits for state workers are not only generally lucrative, but non-beneficiaries contribute a lot to them. There are 1.7 million active and inactive state pension-fund members, beneficiaries and other recipients.
Taxpayers' share
The employer's (taxpayers') contribution ranges from 14 percent of an employees annual salary for teachers and state workers to 26.5 percent for State Highway Patrol members.
Even so, the funds have been hard hit by the economic recession and rising health-care costs, which is why the Republican controlled General Assembly will be taking up legislation to bolster the plans.
According to the Columbus Dispatch, teachers, law-enforcement officers, state workers and other Ohio public employees must give up more than $16 billion to fix the funds.
Achieving balance
Most will have to work longer before they can retire, many will to pay more for their pensions, and some retirees will see reductions in their annual cost-of-living adjustments, the Dispatch reported.
With the Republicans in control of state government, including the governor's office, any suggestion of taxpayers helping to fill the gaps is dead on arrival. Indeed, earlier versions of the rescue plans could have cost taxpayers $1 billion.
The legislation state Rep. Wachtmann has introduced also targets the double-dippers — public employees who retire, collect pensions and then find other government jobs and earn salaries.
The newspaper series revealed just how extensively state employees are taking advantage of the absence of any legislation to prohibit the practice. But that will change if the Health and Aging Committee chairman has his way.
"We're going to look at more-comprehensive language that may specifically speak to double-dipping," said Wachtmann, as quoted by the Dispatch.
Who carries the burden?
While some of the leaders of the employees unions contend that the taxpayer contributions to some pension plans haven't increased in years, the reality is that in today's political environment the burden will be borne by the workers.
Republicans, including Gov. John Kasich, have found an issue that resonates with the people of Ohio.
A fly or a double dipper? Or in some cases Triple and quadruple dippers.
Public employees getting much sweeter health care and pensions than the private sector is coming to an end. Although employees in Boardman are trying to extract another few million from the taxpayers. To pay for their 20% more than peer communities largess.
believe me our pensions suck. i can verify that.
and we also pay alot for our health care. so pick on someone else for a change. when county and state jobs dry up so will the rest of the populations jobs.
then see where we will ALL be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talika laboratories, experts in specific care, have created Bust Serum, a comprehensive beauty package giving volume, lift and firmness to the breast.
Volume: gain one cup size in 6 weeks
The breasts are composed of varying amounts of fatty tissue which gives them shape and volume. Thanks to the virtues of mukul bark extract that has been used for centuries in Indian Ayurvedic medicine, Bust Serum fosters a targeted storage of triglycerides, thereby increasing breast volume. Tests have proved that 80% of women saw an increase of 2 to 4 cm (1 to 1 3/4 in) in 6 weeks.
Breast lift: +18%
The breasts are attached to the thorax by ligaments (Cooper's ligaments). With absolutely no muscle, their only support is the skin. Volume and weight variations erode skin elasticity, triggering a loss in curve and sagging.Thanks to the extract of kigelia africana , Bust Serum prevents the tissue from sagging and improves bust firmness and appearance. Clinical trials have shown +18% in breast lift.
The combination of kigelia africana, mukul bark extract, oat extract, peptides, raspberry seed oil from Chile and hyaluronic acid strengthens the skin's binding and hence tonicity, thereby tangibly improving its elasticity by 70%. Your breasts will be better maintained and developed as result.
Directions: Apply Bust Serum daily, morning or evening, to the base of the breasts and then massage in wide figure 8 movements from below the breast upto the neck line.
Active Ingredients: Mukul Bark Extract, Kigelia Africana, Hyaluronic Acid, Peptides.
Other Ingredients:Aqua (Water), Butylene Glycol, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Rubusidaeus (Raspberry) Seed Oil, Glycerin, Sorbitan Isostearate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Propylene Glycol, Kigelia Africana, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Polyacrylate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer, Benzyl Alcohol, Squalane, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut Extract), Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Menthyl Lactate, Parfum (Fragrance), Polysorbate 60, Commiphora Mukul Resin Extract, Dehydroacetic Acid, Carbomer, Polysorbate 20, Ethylhexylglycerin, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparben, CI 42090 (Blue 1), Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7.

Lanvin, Dior Homme, Paul Smith, and more take to the runway. See the first half of our recap here.
Mixing both classic suiting with more adventurous separates like striped tops and pants, high-top boots that mimicked those worn by boxers, and oversized coats made for a visually stimulating outing for Lanvin's Alber Elbaz.
Raf Simons
Leave it to Raf Simons to design a menswear collection that I imagine a lot of ladies, given its pulled-together streetstyle sensibility, would love to wear (and that's not a bad thing). Among the standouts were fitted sweaters done in saturated colorways, slim cropped at the knee pants, and cloche-meets-hoodie hats – some tops even had strands of hair fastened to the top-middle portion for a quirky effect.
Raf Simons
Dior Homme
Clearly inspired by military dress, Dior Homme was heavy on olive-toned looks when it came to both the fitted separates as well as the roomier ones, which included a variety of cape coats.
Dior Homme
Paul Smith
Given that Paul Smith's designs can often conjure up images of bright and vibrant colors, it may have surprised many to see nary a sign of color in the designer's menswear collection this season, despite the collection's nautical theme. In fact, aside from a few prints on tops, there were few marks of the season's inspiration with a slew of mostly closet staples making their way down the runway.
Paul Smith
One comes to expect the unexpected from Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci and this season, with his nose ring-clad models walking the runway in bold prints and even bolder cuts, the designer lived up to expectations. Kilts, leather leggings, and crystal embellishments were some of the touches that popped up in the stars and stripes America-inspired collection.
