Ski for Light a week in a snowy utopia
While Kent's story is compelling, it is one of many claiming new life or rebirth at a Ski for Light week.

 AIArchitect This Week | Light Can Reduce Errors, Improve Outcomes in Health-care Settings
Joseph highlights studies that show that the amount of light is directly related to task performance, with better performance correlating with higher light levels.
Joseph says a 1981 study “shows that, if the amount and distribution of light are controlled, most everyday visual tasks (such as reading and writing) can be performed as well under artificial light sources (such as fluorescent light) as under daylight conditions.
Another positive outcome of abundant light in health-care settings is that it helps control the circadian system, a critical capability for workers and staff whose success depends on their ability to perform during night shifts.

  Chevron-Shaped UFO With Blinding Light Among Week's Sightings
There were blinking red and green lights directly on either side of the bright center light flashing in a regular pattern and appeared to be directly adjacent to the center light rather than offset from it.
It had two bright lights in the front like head lights and around it were little white lights with a few green and red.
The flashing lights were very bright, as they would flash on for a second, go off for about 1 and a half to 2 seconds, and then back on again.

  GLART Week4: Light and Material
There are three components of light color: Diffuse light -- the light rays coming directly from source Specular light -- the light reflected off a shiny surface Ambient light -- the light scattered off the environment Usually all three colors are similar.
A red light will illuminate a surface with red, the reflection will be red, and the scattered light in the environment will be a dim red.
Ambient describes how the light is scattered by the environment, which isn't really a property of the light at all, it's a property of the environment.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Bright light treatment of depression for older adults [ISRCTN55452501]
Evening bright light was selected as the best choice for volunteers who reported that they were falling asleep in the evening excessively before going to bed or who found themselves going to bed earlier than desired, who complained of early awakening, or whose baseline light-activity recordings indicated that they had these problems.
We have employed dim red light as a placebo, reasoning that because the light was dim and because the red part of the spectrum is relatively inactive biologically [49], there would be no substantial effect.
The primary test of the light treatment in correcting circadian phases was a contrast of the phase dispersion of aMT6s acrophases in the bright-light-treated group vs. the placebo group after 4 weeks of treatment, to test the hypothesis that light treatment reduces dispersion of circadian phases.

 Harvard Gazette: Light illuminates better teaching strategies
Light hopes that high school and college students will read his book and pick up information that will help them to make the most of their academic careers.
Light suggests that these papers simply summarize the main point of a lecture or discussion, raise any questions the student may have, and be anonymous, to relieve the pressure to perform that many students feel.
To Light, those two strategies - drawing in experts from outside Harvard and employing a number of researchers, rather than just one or two - undergird the validity of his research findings, and their chances for being successfully reproduced at other colleges and universities.

 KC Light Rail
Technically it may be the best light rail plan ever but if it fails to impress at least 50.1% of the voters in February it's a moot point.
In last week's public forum, project consultants noted that the voter approved route was problematic through this stretch due to some of the roads being only two lanes and the existing traffic congestion on Barry Road.
The City Council's Transportation and Infrastructure Committee held the light rail repeal petition again this week, missing the deadline for a November ballot.

 Light Therapy for Depression Treatment
Additionally, people responded within a week to light instead of several weeks with medications, and different medication trials were needed before an effective regimen was found.
But light therapy has little chance to be widely and properly used for a variety of ills, as long as it appears to the policymakers and grantgivers to lie uncomfortably between pharmaceutical company neglect (for obvious reasons) and the molecular reductionism of academe.
Light therapy is easy to administer in outpatient settings, lacks major side effects, and, importantly, is cost-effective.

 Market Should Get Lift From Light Data Week - Forbes.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
I have been pointing out for weeks that while our sentiment indicators were showing pessimism increasing to the same levels of past rallies, the sentiment trend had not yet reversed, and that was holding the market back.
Last week's short position for the group was only 2,127 contracts, the lowest reading (which equates to the highest short position) of the past year.
In summary, the market should build on last week's strength, as the upcoming economic calendar is light, meaning fewer data points to get in the way of investors and traders pulling the trigger to buy more stocks.
