Shorty (crater)

Shorty is a feature on Earth's Moon, a crater in the Taurus-Littrow valley. Astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt visited it in 1972, on the Apollo 17 mission. It is the location of the famous "orange soil". It is about 110 meters (120 yards) in diameter and up to 14 m (15 yd) deep.

To the east of Shorty are Victory, Camelot, and the Apollo 17 landing site. To the southeast is Brontë. To the southwest are Lara and Nansen.

The crater was named by the astronauts to honor the genre of the short story, particularly those of Richard Brautigan and J. D. Salinger.

Under Soil and Dirt

Under Soil and Dirt is the debut studio album by American rock band The Story So Far. Prior to the album's release several songs were made available for streaming.

Background

The Story So Far formed in Walnut Creek, California in 2007. The band consisted of Parker Cannon on vocals, Kevin Geyer and Kevin Ambrose on guitar, Ryan Torf on drums, and Kelen Capener on bass. Ambrose parted ways with the band when he went to college in 2008 and he was replaced by William Levy. In March 2010 it was announced the band had signed to Pure Noise. Two months later the band released an EP, While You Were Sleeping (2010). The band supported This Time Next Year in November. The band went on tour with The American Scene in January 2011.

Composition and recording

Throughout the writing and recording process the band listened to Transit's Keep This to Yourself (2010). All of the band members "loved [Keep This to Yourself] and thought it was next level", according to Capener. The band thought that the "14 awesome, solid" songs were "fucking badass" that they "want[ed] to do", according to Levy. Levy and Geyer would listen to Elliott Smith, The Weakerthans, Wilco, Mother of Mercy, and Black Breath while driving. Levy described Under Soil and Dirt as "Pop-Punk, with lyrics about Girls and growing up; grooviness, lot of energy." Capener said the album isn't "really in your face, but at the same time, it is. It's an honest record, it packs a punch". Levy found it difficult to write material since Capener lived an hour away and Cannon living six hours away. At the time, Capener had a job and was in college.

Roam (public transit)

The Town of Banff, in Banff National Park in Alberta's Rockies, Canada, launched a new rebranded local bus system called Roam in June 2008. There are three routes connecting the town, Tunnel Mountain, the Banff Springs Hotel, and the Banff Gondola. Service is provided using four hybrid Nova buses, each decorated with scenes from the National Park, featuring either a grizzly bear, elk, mountain goat or wolf.

Cash fare is $2 for adults and $1 for seniors and children under 13, with children under 5 riding for free. A $5 Day Pass provides unlimited travel for that day. Tokens can be bought in advance at a reduced rate and a Smartcard is available for one, three and six month periods.

Formerly known as Banff Public Transit, the town has had some form of public transportation since 1994, contracted to a variety of private operators. On May 31, 2008, local tour bus company Brewster Inc., took over operation of the revamped system, using the newly acquired fleet.

The Bow Valley Regional Transit Services Commission (BVRTSC) was formally established on 21 April 2011, to provide passenger transportation services in Bow Valley, which includes the municipalities of Canmore, Banff and Improvement District No. 9, and assumed responsibility for Roam public transit services. On December 3, 2012, regional transit service between Banff and Canmore began.
