Just a reminder...the EAC sponsored Craft Fair will be held this Friday (11/13) from 11:30-1:30 in the Mesa Lab Lobby. The Craft Fair will feature a wide array of crafts constructed by NCAR/UCAR staff, their families, and friends. Some of the types of crafts you will see include jewelry, clothing, candles, rugs, woodwork, quilts, herbal crafts, dried flower arrangements, Native American crafts and jewelry, paintings, and ornaments. The Foothills Lab Craft Fair will be held next Friday, 11/20. There are still a few spaces available for crafters at both locations. If you (or your friends or family members) wish to sign up for a table, contact Joan Chiszar at x8908, jchiszar@ucar.edu, or Inger Gallo at x8403, gallo@ucar.edu.

If your haven't tried the mat classes, enjoy your first class free. Come and join us! Feel free to jump in at any time. No need to wait until the beginning of a session. Foothills Lab: Monday, 26 October through 30 November 11:00-12:00 Thursday, 15 October through 19 November 12:00-1:00 Mesa Lab: Tuesday, 10 November through 15 December 11:00-12:00 The cost for each session is $36. If your first class is complementary, deduct $6. Drop-in rates are $7 per class. Mat classes are non-impact, designed to build strength and flexibility, with focus on articulating the joints of the body. Working from the core (abdominal area) can alleviate back strain. We will also address using the body efficiently and moving with the breath. It's like having the owners' manual for the body! *All references to Pilates are historical in context and not affiliated with the Pilates Studio or Pilates, Inc.

UCAR's home page, UCARWeb, now links directly to UCAR Newsbriefs, a single, concise page that presents the latest happenings from our institution. UCAR Newsbriefs is a digest of short descriptions of NCAR, UCAR, or UOP news of broad interest to internal and external readers. Topics might include research results, instrument deployments, educational initiatives, or new Web sites. Each newsbrief links to a fuller explanation of the news item--either a Web-based article or a relevant home page. Anyone within UCAR may submit a newsbrief. The page is moderated by the UCAR Communications office. Newsbriefs are posted on the working day following submission and typically run for 60 days, after which they're sent to an archive page. Note: events that are only of internal interest, such as seminars or staff social functions, should be publicized through the announcements and calendar sections of This Week at UCAR (http://www.ucar.edu/communications/thisweek) rather than through Newsbriefs.
