	Squeezing in more open space / Mountain Xpress / mountainx.com
		The fee in lieu of open space is similar to wetlands mitigation, in which a builder whose development destroys existing wetlands must create new ones or pay for nearby wetlands to be preserved.
		Under the proposal, the open space for several adjacent developments could be pooled into a single nearby park, rather than requiring each individual parcel to include a fragment of it, as the current ordinance dictates.
		A parking lot, however, would not be considered open space – and, in a change from the present ordinance, neither would a mandatory buffer between conflicting uses, such as a factory and a housing development.

	SPACE.com -- Satellite Spots Turbulence-Producing Mountain Waves in the Stratosphere
		When masses of air flow over massive mountains, invisible waves often roil high into the stratosphere, affecting weather and mixing the chemicals that contribute to ozone depletion.
		Eckermann and his colleague, Peter Preusse of the University of Wuppertal in Germany, found that mountain waves come in a variety of forms, and not all of the waves make it to the stratosphere.
		Because mountain waves can change so quickly, and because computer models used to forecast weather always have a finite capacity for data, most models use estimates of the phenomena based on long-term characteristics.
