The focus of this database is to provide full text access to older issues of journals. Examples of titles in JSTOR are: Biometrika Ecological Applications Ecology Journal of the American Statistical Association Limnology and Oceanography Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London Series A Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Science SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis You can access JSTOR from the Info Resources page of the Library website at http://www.ucar.edu/library/resources.html.

The Mesa Lab's exhibits, tours, and science store have a limited
advertising budget, but that doesn't stop us from thinking of ways to
help publicize our educational outreach to the public.
If you'd like to help spread the word about the science learning
opportunities we offer through the visitor program, we've come up
with one relatively quick and easy way you can lend a hand.
You can help vote NCAR's visitor program one of the best things to do
in Boulder. Voting online takes just a few minutes; you have until
August 2nd to cast your ballot.
How to participate:
The ballot and instructions for Best Services, Faces & Places are
available in current copies of the Daily Camera and online at
http://cfapps.thedailycamera.com/BocoVote/Ballot_2.cfm
(or http://dailycamera.com/vote brings you to an introductory page
where you will also find a separate ballot for Best Shopping).
You can vote for an organization in up to 3 categories. We're
recommending these 2:
Best Place to Entertain Kids: NCAR tour
Best Place to Go on a Hot Day: NCAR tour
You might then want to pick a 3rd category for NCAR that you think
appropriate.
Then - IMPORTANT - vote for other favorite "services, faces, and
places" in at least 8 more categories (7 more if you picked NCAR
3 times) to fulfill the ballot's MINIMUM REQUIREMENT OF 10
CATEGORIES.
Finally, here are 2 suggestions for categories to add to next
year's contest:
Best 2005 Category to Add:
Best Educational Exhibit/Tour Program
or
Best Place to Take Out of Town Guests

Schedule of classes Mesa Lab: Wednesday, 11 August - 15 September, 12:00 -1:00 Foothills Lab: Thursday, 12 August - 16 September, 12:00 - 1:00 The cost for each session is still $48. Drop-in rates are $10 per class, for those with Pilates experience. If you have never tried Pilates, your first class is free! Join us anytime. Mat classes are non-impact, designed to build strength and flexibilty. Strengthening the abdominals and shoulder areas can alleviate and prevent problems. Pilates mat classes are the perfect travel and home exercise. All you need is your body and a mat. No props or equipment necessary! If you have injuries, I recommend that you contact me to evaluate whether this class is right for you. I can teach you modifications of the exercises as necessary. Please call or email and let me know you plan to attend.
