The Weld County Sheriff's Office is investigating a suspected BB gun being shot from a car in the area of Weld County road 48.5 and 22, according to a news release.
About 3 p.m. Saturday, a resident in the area reported that a large window in her home had been shattered by gun fire, according to the release. She said a vehicle that fled the area at a high rate of speed was a "loud-sounding Honda or Japanese-style car."
Sheriff's deputies arrived at the home and determined that the window was indeed broken by a BB, but were unable to locate the suspect vehicle, according to the release.
An investigation is ongoing to determine if any other residences were targeted.
The sheriff's office asks anyone with information to call (970) 356-4015 ext. 2825.

CD-adapco is the world's largest independent CFD focused provider of engineering simulation software, support and services. We have over 30 years of experience in delivering industrial strength engineering simulation.
The need for repair rather than replace of gas turbine components is becoming increasingly important to operators in today's economic climate. The use of commercially available numerical analysis software, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element (FE) have become well established within Wood Group Light Industrial Turbines Ltd. They have allowed the business to be extremely competitive by being able to rapidly respond to a customers request for a repair which may involve a fluid structure interaction and/or conjugate heat transfer analysis. The software has also been used to study critical design limitations and to rapidly enhance reverse engineered parts. Two such cases are presented here: the repair of a compressor rotor blade airfoil and the changes made to an existing design of a cooling passage in a high pressure turbine rotor blade. Each analysis was completed in a very competitive time span.

He and about 400,000 others were having the times of their lives, listening to some of the greatest music acts of that or any time.
It was Woodstock. The real Woodstock. The one on Max Yasgur's farm.
"It was rainy. It was muddy. I was covered in mud," Schloss remembers. "I went skinny-dipping to get rid of the mud and I loved it it was a free, natural feeling. I felt the sun. I felt the air."
From that first innocent dip nearly 40 years ago, Schloss has adopted a full naturist lifestyle. This week, he is at Empire Haven Nudist Park in Summerhill, the organizer of the annual Northeast Naturist Festival.
About 300 nudists, or naturists, are at the southern Cayuga County campground through Sunday, partaking of workshops, games, sports, self-enrichment activities and mostly, fun and camaraderie.
There are couples, single people and families. There are children and senior citizens. There are people of varying races and religions. Some are tall, short or in between. Some have scars or even some parts are missing. Some have in-shape bodies, some may need to cut back on the potato chips a tad.
But they all have one thing in common the naturist lifestyle.
"Clothes suck," said Christiana Gaudet, of Florida, who ran a tarot card reading workshop at the festival.
"No, actually I can come up with something better to say than that," she said. "First, the fashion industry is a leading polluter, with dyes and the whole process of creating cloth. Then there's body acceptance. We all accept ourselves no matter what. And it just feels good it feels right."
Gaudet said she visited clothing-optional events in the 1980s. She met a man who she started dating.
"He said he was a card-carrying nudist," she said. "Then he whipped out his card to show me."
Leonard Lehrman, of Long Island, laughs. "I worried when you said, 'He whipped something out,' " he said to Christiana.
Laughter like this abounds at the naturist festival. Many of these folks have been coming to the festival for years more than 20 years for Schloss.
They are old friends. They laugh, play games, talk, eat, swim. No one pays attention to the nudity.
In fact, that's the point, Schloss said.
"Nobody cares," he said. "There are places where women go in and out of stores top free and no one bats an eye. Almost no one has a moral or ethical objection to it."
In a 2006 Roper Poll:
-- 74 percent of 1,000 asked said people should be able to nude sunbathe without interference from local officials on a beach accepted for that purpose.
-- 54 percent said local and state governments should set aside areas for nude sunbathing.
-- 25 percent admitted that they had either skinny-dipped or nude sunbathed in mixed company of men and women.
"I believe that most people who come here, within five minutes, they'd be comfortable," Schloss said. "It's a popular misconception that people care about this."
Julia Norris, of St. Catharines, Ontario, has used nudity to "heal and reclaim my life" after being raped and sexually assaulted. That might sound like a dichotomy, but she said it isn't.
"The nudity is incidental. I felt safe. It shows who you are as a person people can see your heart," she said.
Lehrman, who received his doctoral degree from Cornell and has worked in music, opera and theater for years, said he had other reasons for becoming involved in the naturist lifestyle.
"I became aware of the importance of nudity in political and artistic expression," he said, as he sat wearing a T-shirt with the phrase "I Don't Do Mornings" and not much else.
Since 2003, he has put together a music and theater production for Friday night of each festival and he'll do it all again tonight.
"The sophistication of the audiences here is amazing" he said.
Many of those attending the festival completely embrace the naturist lifestyle, living nude at home and anywhere else they can.
Schloss was a teacher in Rochester for more than 20 years and is now retired, owning a nudist resort in the West Palm Beach area. He said he sometimes goes a whole week without ever putting a stitch of clothing on.
"I've gone out and gotten in the car to go downtown and then halfway there, realize I didn't put anything on," he said.
Schloss said naturist parks and gatherings began in the United States in about the 1930s. He said there is a law that prohibits people from being nude in public, but it's only a violation not a misdemeanor or felony.
He said four women from the Northeast Naturist Festival were arrested in 2005 for baring their breasts going top free in downtown Moravia, the nearest village to the Empire Haven camp. Their charges eventually were dropped.
"Just look remember the covers of the Saturday Evening Post, done by Norman Rockwell? He painted children skinny dipping in a pond," Schloss said.
Then he spreads out his arms in both directions, showing off the place that is Empire Haven.
"This whole thing is Americana. For me, that's what it's all about," he said.

It's pretty much what you'd imagine of a basement playroom: Shag carpet. Makeshift bar. Leather couch. A bunch of dudes hanging around, along with a couple of girls. But it's also peppered with instruments: A guitar. A drumset. A high-tech engineering system. A sign-in book.
"Welcome to my wreckroom," says Adrian Grenier.
To most, Grenier's persona is synonymous with the character he portrayed for eight seasons on Entourage: Queens-bred actor turned high-rolling womanizer Vinny Chase. And yet, in real life, Grenier lives in a surprisingly modest Brooklyn townhouse. He produces documentaries. He hangs out with a bunch of artists. He has an herb garden. And every Monday and Friday, he invites local musicians into his home, to record music in his basement — a kind of playroom-turned-professional-recording-space he calls, simply, The Wreckroom.
The Wreckroom is an attempt to give artists a platform — along with access to professional recording materials, and an outlet to release their music to the world. It's also, for Grenier, anyway, a kind of boyhood dream come true. "I've had fantasies since I was a wee tot of having my own studio," the 36-year-old tells Tumblr on a recent afternoon. "That's really what this is — the manifestation of a boyhood fantasy."
It's a point that doesn't easily get lost on a trip through the Wreckroom. The space's head producer, Giraffes guitarist Damien Paris, is Grenier's best friend since high school. Since the early days, when the boys were skipping class at La Guardia (you know, the Fame school) to jam, the quest for a studio space was never ending. The duo — two of the four-member squad that made up the UFOs (that's "Unidentified Funky Organisms") — first tried Adrian's high school bedroom (not exactly jam material). Then there was the loft at Damien's parents' house (it was OK). Their first real studio was a rat-infested basement near the Brooklyn Navy Yard, underneath a dry-cleaner. Later, it was in the spare bedroom of the friends' Williamsburg apartment.
Finally, there is now the Wreckroom proper, an official subset of Grenier's production company, Reckless. Since January, Grenier and his pals — Paris, along with an engineer (Brian) and a manager (Mike) — have put out a video every few weeks on their website, from bands that range from sibling rock group The Skins to electronic-sax trio Moon Hooch (featured in the clip above). The point: Share the space. Make music. Give that music away for people to enjoy.
"I've known many bands over the years, and everybody's trying to make it," says Grenier of his philosophy behind the space. "But if that never happens, they just have all this content that they're holding onto. So as a way to embrace new models of the music business, we were just like, 'Why don't we all just collectively come together and give away the content?'"
Welcome to The Wreckroom.

The Bachelorette's DeAnna Pappas and her fiancé Jesse Csincsak are already taking their relationship to the next level -- the Internet.
Days after Georgia real estate agent Pappas picked her snowboarder suitor as the winner of The Bachelorette -- and subsequently announced their engagement on the Bachelorette: After the Final Rose special -- the couple unveiled a new website, DeAnnaandJesse.com.
Underneath a goofy candid photo, the couple writes, "We created this special place on the Web to share our lives with you. We hope this site will enable family and friends, near and far, to stay connected. We look forward to sharing our family news and precious memories with you for years to come!"
What's next for the couple? According to their "What's New" page, they're keeping busy before their planned May 9, 2009 wedding in the Bahamas. Thursday, for instance, they'll be throwing out and catching the first pitch at the Dodger's game in Los Angeles. They're also appearing on MTV's hit dance show America's Best Dance Crew.
According to the website, a re-design of their eponymous site is already planned. "New site launching soon!" the homepage reads. "Check back daily for more info -- things are happening fast around here!" -- Jessica Gold HaralsonAdam Larkey/ABC

Mahasiswa Universitas Triskati Lebih Baik Dalam Membangun Teamwork Dibanding Mahasiswa Lain
11 Januari 2010 07:00, 07:00
Ir. Gerard De Fraiture (Saxion University)
Mahasiswa Universitas Triskati Lebih Baik Dalam Membangun Teamwork Dibanding Mahasiswa Lain
Wikke Novlia, ST dari jurusan Teknik Lingkungan diwisuda pada bulan Oktober 2009 yang lalu merupakan lulusan terbaik dari program studi Teknik Lingkungan Fakultas Arsitektur Lansekap dan Teknik Lingkungan Universitas Trisakti dengan IPK 3,77. Di samping gelar Sarjana Teknik, yang bersangkutan berhak atas gelar Bachelor of Environmental Technology, yang diperolehnya dari Saxion University Netherland di Belanda dengan predikat Cum Laude. Selain itu, ia juga memperoleh juara pertama (The first prize Saxion Award) dalam kategori the best research final report dan juara pertama (first prize) untuk penelitian yang diselenggarakan oleh asosiasi professional di bidang air (Waternetwork) di Belanda. Berikut ini adalah wawancara dengan Ir. Gerard A.M. de Fraiture, Senior Lecturer Environmental Sciences, The Nederland, pembimbingnya semasa ia kuliah di Belanda dan pendapatnya tentang Wikke Novlia:
What do you think about Trisakti University?
I don't know a lot about Trisakti, the only I know when I speak to student I know they are very good students, maybe that what I know, when I walk in and out the building and I met a lot of people, rector, the dean and they are very nice people, good contact, the students are very advance very good, very eager and intelligent.
What do you think about the quality of students?
What I missed last Saturday was they are very modest, and in our culture when I ask her (Wikke Novlia) for instant how do you feel about yourself, she can't get a real feeling, she is too shy. She is modest. My opinion about her and I know her very well after one year teaching that she is a brilliant student, very good in working in group with other people. She can take responsibility. When I turn it what she miss maybe the personal think in communication, show your feeling that you are disappointed or perpetual happy or she looks always happy.
I talked to her too, she is now graduated from the bachelor level and she is already in master level. She has only to prove it. So I always say the cream in the milk when you milk the cow you sip the milk the cream cut up, so we speaking what she is doing she cut up. Now she is going back to do Saxion with me the internship, so she get again the chance to do thing one year and she get support from Saxion and I work with her experience and I think maybe after that year, I personally I think for student after 4 years she goes few years for works experience and then back for the master.
What do you think about Indonesian and Asian students?
I gave already my opinion about that in my presentation, it seems very talented and I only see maybe the top students and I don't see the student with GPA of 2, maybe they are not here, they already go out, I don't know, the student I see, I always I have big a problem to select and my advice to university is, please give them more responsibility engage for instance the final issues thru internship. Maybe new for teacher try to grow to the process so when all the student come together at the end of the year and to Indonesian students I always ask what is the biggest difference between the education and alert, and the always say here we can interfere our own responsibility and you see as junior professional not as student with know nothing, now you are junior and I expect you can do this. This is about Indonesian student. If we give them responsibility, they have to make their future, if the environmental is not very good it is up to you, I am 62, the next generation to improve it.
How many students from Trisakti?
I already have five my colleagues, I guest and I am not overview now, this year 13 or 14 students from Indonesia Gajah Mada, Diponegoro and ITS from environmental engineering, urban and regional planning and civil engineering and out of that 8-9 from environment engineering. We have now cooperate with four Indonesian Universities, in my view that I am not include the teacher, in my view 13 students is a lot for one nationally, when you have about 20 nationalities in one group, 13 in one group but we have to see experience this year, so it could be next year 2,3,4 but not 10.
What do you think and opinion about Indonesia in general?
I use the word my student always say my beloved country. This is not my country but I like this country, I like the people, I like the food, I like the smell, I like all. It is the pleasure and be here. And when I came here and I make the planning and in one week we go raft, half of a day here and in the plane to Bandung or Semarang, and at the end of the week I don't know what I did in Thursday, it so fast. I take one day for the university, one day for traveling, and it is very quite, and at the end before we go my wife said to me one more day it is long but now we already Monday, Tuesday and nearly a week here. I don't feel that I'm finished already. I like to be here maybe after that I like to see my pension again.

One of the most popular Windows accessories around is the Calculator and here in Windows 7, the calculator gets a surprisingly major update and its first serious functional refresh since way back to Windows 95. So let's launch the Calculator from the Windows Orb or Start button. Let's just type in 'calc'. That's going to display one program starting with calc. That's the calculator and when we select it, it's going to pop up on our screen and the first thing you might notice is it probably looks a little bit bigger than you're used to, and that's because it's getting ready for those brand new multi-touch compatible displays that are on the way.
You're going to be able to press the calculator buttons right on the screen like you got a real calculator. But it's the different modes of operation. You can now choose from that makes the calculator worth exploring. Let's click the View button. You'll notice Standard is selected and it's the default or basic view you're probably accustomed to. You also have Scientific. Scientific still exists like it did in previous versions. You get all of these extra buttons and you're going to need to know what you're doing with this particular mode. Let's go back to View and choose a new one called Programmer.
In Programmer mode, you've got a couple of things that you're going to be seeing and a number of different options for conversions and different modes as well. Let's just play around a little bit. We'll type in the number 128. So it appears here in the display. This is using our language known as the decimal language but we can convert it using this mode to hexadecimal, for example. This is great for programmers. 80 is the equivalent in that language and if you're wondering what computer see when we type in characters like 128.
Well, we can change to another mode such as Byte, for example. Down below, you're going to see the ones and zeros that make up the number 128 in the decimal language or 80 in the hexadecimal language. This is what the computer sees. Go back to View. One last one is Statistics. This is also like the Programmer mode, in that, you're going to need to know what you're doing with these types of modes of operation because you are not going to find a lot of explanation on how to use the calculator modes.
So if you're into statistics, you'll know how to use these buttons down below. Let's go back to View now and change it to Standard. Now we also have, not just the different modes of operation, but some additional options that will allow us to change the additional information we can work with on the right-hand side. Let's go back to View. You can see we're working in Basic here. We have got Unit Conversion. Now over on the right hand side, next to our standard calculator, we have the ability to convert things.
For example, Angles, which appear by default on this button, change the type, for example, to Temperature. Now down below, we can enter a value. Notice Degrees Celsius appears. So today we're expecting a high where I live of 26 degrees C. I'd like to know what that is in Fahrenheit. I'll go down below, change Degrees Celsius, to Degrees Fahrenheit, and you can see our high today. It's going to be 78.8 degrees. Nice little feature.
So lots of different types to choose from. If you want to convert to other metric system or length, for example, and you'll notice we have got lots to choose from here. Let's say we wanted to convert 12 inches into centimeters. I think you've got the idea, so 30.48 cm is what you'll find on the typical ruler. Now I also have date calculations. Let's go up to the View menu, go down to Date Calculation. Notice the keyboard shortcuts on the right-hand side as well.
Now we can calculate things like the difference between two dates. All we have to do is select those states. We can type them in, or use a little calendar buttons. Let's say from today to next month, later on in the month. The difference in days we click Calculate. It is 57 days. You can also see 1 month, 3 weeks and 6 days. We'll also check out the templates for things like gas mileage, lease and mortgage estimations. Click View, go down to worksheets and you'll see them all here.
So if you are trying to figure out a mortgage, for example, you'd choose Mortgage. What do you want to calculate, your Monthly payment? What's your Down payment needs to be. Let's go with Monthly payment, and we'll just try some values here. Let's say the Purchase price of the house is $350,000 and we got a Down payment of 120,000. And the Term. Let's go for 25 years, and the interest rate we're going to get right now, let's say, is 5.25.
When we click Calculate, we are going to see that our Monthly payment is just over $1378. Nice little feature built into the calculator. So we'll close that up. When we returned to the Calculator, this is the mode we'll be in so whatever you leave in it is and what comes back the next time you launch the calculator, and although the calculator rarely receives a lot of attention in Windows, this time around in Windows 7, the enhancements are too numerous to ignore.

Hail needs to get large enough weight-wise so it can overcome the updraft in the thunderstorm.
This weight will vary from storm to storm because the strength of each storm and its updraft are different in each storm.
If the updraft becomes really strong, it can actually push the hail up through the top of the thunderstorm.
Everything is dependent of the storm's strength.

What do abbreviations, abnormal psychology, Camelot, Central America, the earth's atmosphere, gladiators, the nervous system, the Supreme Court and the volume of a cube have in common?
They all were subjects of questions faced by quiz bowl competitors during Seneca/Wyandot/
Put-in-Bay/Sandusky Area High School Quiz Bowl League's double-elimination tournament at First Lutheran Church Thursday.
Article Photos
Quiz bowl teams from Hopewell-Loudon High School (left) and Clyde High School participate in the tournament's championship match Thursday afternoon.
Clyde High School finished first in the tournament, defeating Hopewell-Loudon High School, 140-60. Columbian High School finished third after losing to Hopewell-Loudon, 85-75.
Hopewell-Loudon dropped to the consolation bracket after losing to Columbian but came back to defeat Columbian to qualify for the championship match.
"It was intense, just the fact that it was back and forth and everything all day," said David Beleny, a Hopewell-Loudon junior.
Theresa Lucius, Hopewell-Loudon's quiz bowl coach, said she thinks her team's goal was to place first in the tournament. But, she said, the team has had to leave before lunch in the past, and it was good to stay after lunch during this year's tournament.
"It was exciting because we've never done this well before," said Jenna Gosche, a Hopewell-Loudon junior.
Melissa Detwiler, Clyde's quiz bowl coach, said her team's goal heading into the tournament was to place first.
"It was exciting," she said.
During the championship match, Clyde senior Josh Marty scored nearly all of his team's points. Detwiler said it is common for him to keep answering questions correctly.
"He's pretty outstanding," she said.
In the regular season, Clyde had won the league's north division with a 7-1 record, and Hopewell-Loudon had won the south division with a 7-2 record. They are to compete in the Ohio Academic Competition's regional contest April 21.
Fremont Ross High School, Mohawk High School and North Central Academy joined the league this year. Other schools that have teams in the league are Bridges Community Academy and Bettsville, Calvert, Carey, Fostoria, New Riegel, Old Fort, Put-in-Bay, St. Wendelin, Seneca East and Upper Sandusky high schools.

"Cassini is the second largest inter planetary probe working and researching on planet Saturn. Cassini has assigned an essay and has asked that which of the three targets should be the priority to gain scientific benefits from. Of the three targets set by Cassini, the most fascinating to study and learn and gather scientific knowledge from should be the target 1- Pan. Named after the God of shepherd- Pan is the innermost of the Saturn's known moons located within the Encke gap of Saturn's A-ring. It holds very important position being a shepherd moon, having effect of sculpting the rings giving them sharp edges and creating gaps between them, to learn more about its behavior as a shepherd would be not less than a treasure, as it is responsible for keeping the Encke gap open and free of particles. M. R. Showalter discovered this moon, which is closest to Saturn, orbiting at 13.8 hrs- the fastest, to carry on his discovery and know about the influence of Pan on Saturn and the mystery in being so fast will be informative. Pan is vital in maintaining the particles in horse- shoe orbit, due to the coincident orbit of pan with Encke's gap ringlet. Pan orbits within its main rings and helps sweep materials out of a narrow space Known as Encke cap. Another appealing cause to learn about Pan is eccentricity of its orbit causing its distance from Saturn to vary by 4 km and its orbital inclination causing Pan to move up and down The study of pan's enigmatic walnut shape would tell us about other moons and history of Saturn and Earth plus other solar systems at large; it will also give a chance for extra solar astronomy. It would be a great chance to investigate the interaction of pan with Saturn's magnetosphere and ring systems, if Cassini would keep advancing on Pan.
Scientist of Cassini-Huygens mission should quest for organic materials, hydrocarbons, methane and nitrogen on Pan, which could be an initiative to do initial space engineering and get fuel out these elements. By studying it evolutionary history and about the catalysts found in Pan's atmosphere we can get clue about the biochemical reactions leading to life on Earth and possibility of survival on other Planets. Pan should be explored more to reveal the untold things, such as- geological characteristics and geological history of Pan, different physical processes that created surface of Pan, composition and distribution of Pan and its internal structure and most significantly find the environment potentially habitat able for life. Chemical laboratories on Pan could be established and long lasting mysteries of Earth could also be solved.Cassini should take more valuable images of Pan, having appreciable information about the processes, such as, vertical displacement occurring in the rings and shadows cast by moons due to their orbital inclination. Effects of gravity of Pan on Saturn could be a point to ponder for scientists. Acknowledging the benefits of exploring Pan would enormously increase the scientific treasure of knowledge."

Willis remains box office king
Bruce Willis remains a die-hard at the box office.
Willis' action sequel "A Good Day to Die Hard" made a strong showing at the weekend box office by raking on $25 million.
Including its early release on Thursday for Valentine's Day, the film has already posted $33.2 million in earnings.
The movie comes 25 years after the original "Die Hard" and six years after "Live Free or Die Hard," the hit that resurrected the franchise centered on Willis' relentless New York City cop John McClane.
The previous weekend's No. 1 movie, "Identity Thief" starring Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy, finished a close second with $23.4 million to lift its haul to $70.7 million.
Debuting at No. 3 with $21.4 million was "Safe Haven," starring Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel in an adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel about a woman who flees her abusive husband and takes up with a sensitive widower. Since opening on Valentine's Day, "Safe Haven" has taken in $30.3 million.
"Escape from Planet Earth" opened at No. 4 with $16.1 million. With a voice cast that includes Brendan Fraser, Jessica Alba, Sarah Jessica Parker and Rob Corddry, the movie follows the adventures of aliens captured by the U.S. military.
Making a weak debut at No. 6 was the teen fantasy "Beautiful Creatures," which pulled in $7.5 million for the weekend and $10 million since opening Thursday.
Baldwin denies making racial epithets during rant
New York City police are investigating harassment complaints made by actor Alec Baldwin and a New York Post photographer after an altercation.
Photographer G.N. Miller said the former "30 Rock" star yelled racial epithets and other insults when he was trying to take pictures of the actor outside his Manhattan apartment.
Baldwin maintains he hollered at the photographer, but never said anything racist. He called the allegations "outrageous."
Baldwin called police and filed a harassment complaint Monday after the incident. The photographer later filed a cross-complaint.
Fergie's pregnant with her first child
Fergie's actor husband Josh Duhamel tweeted about the news with joy, saying: "Fergie and Me and BABY makes three." This is Fergie's first pregnancy.
The 37-year-old Fergie and 40-year-old Duhamel married in 2009. She joined the Black Eyed Peas when the group released its third album, "Elephunk," in 2003. The foursome is known for its pop-inspired hip-hop tunes like "My Humps," "I Gotta Feeling" and "Boom Boom Pow."
Duhamel has appeared in the "Transformer" films and most recently in "Safe Haven."
Smith admits she's never watched 'Downton Abbey'
Millions of people have watched Maggie Smith on "Downton Abbey." But she's not one of them.
The 78-year-old actress, who portrays Lady Grantham in the popular PBS series, told "60 Minutes" that she hasn't watched the drama because doing so would only make her agonize over her performance. She said she may watch it someday.
Smith told Steve Kroft that what she takes from the role is "the delight of acting."
She has three Oscars, two Emmys and a Tony Award, but said the "Downton Abbey" role has given her more public recognition than anything in her career.
DiCaprio pressures Thailand to ban all sales of ivory
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio has called on the Thai government to ban all ivory trade in the country, as part of a global campaign to tackle the illegal wildlife crimes.
International conservation group World Wildlife Fund officials said DiCaprio sent a personal e-mail to his friends and supporters to encourage them to sign a petition addressing Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra over the wildlife trade.
In the e-mail, DiCaprio called on the Thai government to take the lead on elephant conservation by shutting down the ivory market.
Although Thai law prohibits sales of African tusks in the kingdom, ivory from domesticated elephants can be traded legally.
Activists say the loophole encourages massive quantities of African ivory to be illegally imported to Thailand each year.

WASHINGTON - Americans for generations have come to depend on door-to-door mail delivery. It's about as American as apple pie.
But with the Postal Service facing billions of dollars in annual losses, the delivery service could be virtually phased out by 2022 under a proposal a House panel was considering Wednesday. Curbside delivery, which includes deliveries to mailboxes at the end of driveways, and cluster box delivery would replace letter carriers slipping mail into front-door boxes.
The proposal is part of broader legislation by Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, designed to cut costs at the cash-strapped agency by up to $4.5 billion a year. The Postal Service had a $16 billion loss last year.

Your wiki is a dump
11 December 2013
I freaking hate wikis.
Note that I'm not talking about things like Wikipedia or Bulbapedia (my two favorite wikis). Those are maintained by fanatics and are generally up to date. As long as you're not on a controversial article, you're probably safe to show it to someone to prove that they're wrong about something.
But wikis need fanatics. They need people that will get het up over proper format for an article, or point out where you need a citation. They need people who are passionate about a certain topic who will haunt their pages and immediately check any change.
You know where we have wikis without fanatics? Our workplaces.
These commons are tragic
I've yet to hear of a tech company that operates without some sort of wiki. Maybe they've called it something fancier, like an enterprise dynamic document management system, but it's still a wiki. Everyone can run around editing stuff. It doesn't matter if you wanted to call it something more business-like. At the end of the day, you have yourself a wiki.
But corporate wikis are like the company fridge. Eventually, they get nasty. You get to the point where you know when someone opened the fridge, because you can smell it down the hall. There are terse emails and passive-aggressive notes, but none of that cleans the fridge. Why?
Because it is everyone's responsibility, and therefore no one's responsibility.
And that's one of the features of wikis that drive me insane. Everyone can edit and maintain pages, so therefore, no one does. The health of the wiki is rent asunder because everyone assumes someone else will take care of the accumulating garbage.
What does a healthy wiki look like?
There are those that insist that wikis will always be a dump, as if this were a feature of wikis themselves. That's not true. Wikis with fanatics tend to be fairly healthy. They're more like a fridge with a few suspicious delivery boxes than a full-on disaster area.
So, what are the features of a healthy wiki?
- Search isn't broken. I should be able to find what I'm searching for with relative ease. I should be able to do this using just a few search terms, and not by breaking out advanced search. Advanced search is a sign things are going wrong.
- The contents are accurate. I shouldn't have to email someone to find out if a page I found is still accurate. No, a warning that the page is deprecated is not helpful.
- The contents are relevant. Every page should be immediately relevant to at least one user of the company. And not in a 'gosh, remember when we had that crazy dev set-up' kind of way. That person should need the information on that page to do their job today.
Bad habits
So how do we get into this mess where our wikis are completely useless? Well, we have some bad habits.
You don't need to keep everything forever.
You really, really don't. I swear. No one will care, two years from now, how we had search set up on those test environments that we ended up taking down and never using again.
I know that one of the features of wikis is keeping tons of information in one place, but you know what another feature of wikis is? Page history. If someone really needs to know about that (and you're following better practices), they can find it.
No one makes sure that what's there is actually accurate.
I've run into this so many times. I find the instructions on how to do something on the wiki. I try them out. They don't work. I have never had instructions on a corporate wiki work the first time. I usually have to grab someone to figure out what in our crazy set-up is breaking. That's when I find out that the instructions would never have worked. They either skipped steps, made assumptions, or were completely out of date.
Why was it out of date? Who knows! People either had their own instructions for setting up this feature, had gotten used to the missing steps, or had figured out how to do their job without it. No one passing by ever fixed the instructions, probably because we were so relieved just to have the feature working finally.
You put everything in the wiki. EVERYTHING.
Nothing drives me more mad than looking for the documentation on how Widget X works, only to find nothing but meeting notes about Widget X. Maybe, if I'm lucky, I find the actual documentation about Widget X on the third page of results.
There are so many things that do not belong on the wiki. They clutter search results. They make sections difficult to navigate. They give you more crap to maintain. Your wiki is a dump because you treat it like one!
You let too many people into the wiki.
Many companies have only one wiki. So useful! Everyone can search everyone else's stuff and find answers across divisions! Oh, and we only have to buy one copy / keep one installation updated.
But this leads to organizational issues. One group may use the wiki as a dumping ground for meeting notes. Another may use it to document how their system works. Yet another might use it to discuss what they might want to include in their architecture. And then there's that one group that puts cookie recipies up.
Also, the more people you have, the more diffuse the blame. If there are five wiki users (and no fanatics), there's not that much blame to go around. Everyone has to pitch in. If there's a hundred? No one is at fault because everyone is microscopically at fault!
You only have one wiki
People. You'll buy everyone at your company MacBook Pros and Cinema Display monitors, and you won't stand up one more wiki? Really?
There are free ones and they can be run off a thumb drive. I'm sure you can find the money and hardware somewhere.
Good habits
So what are the good habits of wiki maintenance? Sure, it would be nice to get some fanatics in here to take care of this for us, but let's be real. It's a corporate wiki. We're going to care more about who's turn it is to bring in donuts, and what they're stocking in the soda machine.
Break off into groups
The most effective wiki set-up I ever was immersed in was one where we broke off into groups. Design had their group. The Python people had theirs. Java had their own as well.
We could all check out each others wikis, but for the most part, we worked in our own. This kept the numbers down on each wiki. I believe each one had fewer than a dozen people who were active participants. The one I worked on daily had five people. This meant that there was tons of blame to go around if things went wrong, so we tended to hold our edits to a higher standard.
Decide what goes into the wiki
Maybe a group really does need to keep track of meeting notes forever. That's fine! That's a use case for that group, and they can feel free to put those notes in their wiki. Maybe they even have a wiki just for meeting notes.
My group tended to want things such as install instructions and notes on our architecture. We had notes about dealing with production issues, and important contact information. We kept our discussions to our mailing list, our meeting notes on a shared drive, and used our wiki as a snapshot of how stuff works today.
The front page is important
On most wikis, the front page is the most neglected page. Before my old group buckled down, we had:
- Projects that had been canned over a year ago
- Emails for people that had left two years ago
- Mailing lists that had been moved to another service, with a different subscribe email address
- Phone numbers to phones that had been given to other people, sometimes on different contracts.
- For some reason, a previous version of the page, saved beneath the current version of the page, like a dying man clinging to a raft.
My first act in the great razing was to remove all of that and post something more sensible. We had links to important pages within the wiki, but very little information on the page itself that would change. Why would we post that in multiple places and invite entropy in?
Decide on a structure
Structure is highly important. New pages should be made with caution, because every page you create makes the wiki slightly harder to maintain.
If it's a technical wiki (and not a CYA wiki, which is what I call meeting note wikis), you probably want to have one page for getting your development environment up and running. That page should forever be the go-to for figuring out how to get everything working on your local. Another page might be dedicated to troubleshooting search (note, not SOLR. Search. You may change what you use for search one day).
Basically, the idea is to have every page be the one place to update information about a certain topic. I should be able to bookmark that page and go back to it, and get the most recent information about that topic. That's how wikis work. How would you feel if you bookmarked the page on, say, Voyager, only to discover that someone had made a page called 'Voyager - New page' and started putting updates only on that. There would be a Wikipedia revolt.
History is your friend
You know how we're just updating that one page with relevant information? That means we have to remove the information that's no longer relevant. But fear not, wiki citizen. That information is not gone. It's merely resting in the page history.
Should anyone care how we were doing things a year ago, they can look it up. If they want to see who decided to move remote the database setup from the install instructions, you can check that out. It's like having the world's most boring time machine.
No one is fixing that page when they have a deadline
Remember that no one is ever going to stop in the middle of a crisis and start fixing the install instructions. There are fires to be put out, deadlines to meet, and metrics to massage.
So, accept that this is a part of human nature and find a way to work around it. One way you might do this is dedicate time to cleaning out the wiki. Just like you probably ended up assigning someone to clean out the fridge, you'll probably need someone to run through the wiki to make sure it's up to snuff. They should verify:
- Any instructions work
- Groups and SME lists don't reference people who have left
- Phone numbers and emails are accurate
- Working groups are accurate
- The architecture actually reflects what you're using
You probably want to have this duty rolled around various groups. I strongly recommend a bounty so that it doesn't get a vague nod before it's passed on. My office has the ability to pipe in sound. I may ask that our bounty be the ability to pipe in one song of our choice at lunch time.
Note that I'm a remote employee. This makes the option that much more fun, though.

Cinderella shows up. You know the rest.

We shoot a specially designed chart in carefully controlled conditions and the resulting images are analysed using DXO Analyzer software to generate the data to produce the graphs below.
A high signal to noise ratio (SNR) indicates a cleaner and better quality image.
For more more details on how to interpret our test data, check out our full explanation of our noise and dynamic range tests.
JPEG Signal to Noise ratio
JPEG images from the Nikon D3200 show similar signal to noise ratio results to the D3100 up to a sensitivity of ISO 1600, above this value the results show a marked improvement.
The D3200 has a similar signal to noise ratio (SNR) to the Canon 100D for much of its sensitivity range, this means that images will have a similar level of noise - despite the D3200's higher pixel count.
Raw Signal to Noise ratio
TIFF images (after conversion from raw) from the Nikon 3200 are on a par with those from the Canon EOS 1100D and show improved results across the entire sensitivity range when compared with the Nikon D3100.
The D3200's raw files (after conversion to TIFF) compare well with those from recent competing cameras, beating the Sony A3000 and Panasonic G6 for much of the sensitivity range and only falling significantly behind the Canon 100D from around ISO 800 and higher.
JPEG Dynamic range
This chart indicates that the Nikon D3200's JPEGs have at least a 1EV higher dynamic range than the Nikon D3100 up to a sensitivity of ISO 400, above this value it maintains around 0.5ev better dynamic range.
Only the Sony A3000 manages to beat the D3200's impressive dynamic range at the lower sensitivity settings, but the other cameras get closer at the higher values.
Raw dynamic range
This chart indicates that the Nikon D3200 TIFF files (After conversion from raw) show a big improvement for dynamic range at all sensitivities over the D3100. At the lower end of the sensitivity range between ISO 100-400 the results show as much as a 2ev difference between the two cameras.
This graph shows how well Nikon has managed to maintain its reputation for capturing a wide range of tones with its cameras. The D3200 leads the way for most of the sensitivity range.

We were pioneers in the arts of poaching Russians and drafting obscure Swedes and playing a possession-driven game. Now we need to be pioneers in trading for defensemen when no one is trading for a defenseman.

Please, please, please stop with the brain farts in the last minute of the games. This team can win if they'd stop this bs.
Posted 07 March 2014 - 08:47 AM
Not a good way to send Lids up to the rafters. Non clutch 3rd period goaltending and serious breakdowns on defense in overtime seem to be an ongoing trend. Very, very tough season for us fans to deal with. Now that's 2 straight opponents we've outplayed and we have gotten only 1 point out of it. Well at least Legwand played well I thought. Hurts to say it but I think there's too many teams battling for that 8th spot and we are one inconsistent bunch this year. This team is gonna need to grow a pair just to make it.
Posted 07 March 2014 - 08:51 AM
Didn't watch the game but just looked at boxscore ... Legwand -2, was he really that bad? Looks like Howard has got to play better for us, not that many shots on him.
No Legwand was probably one of the better Wings on the night. He showed some jump and setup Franzen with a great chance early on. Gus and Mule both had a bad night which was more of what brought the play down. Both goals were really because of Franzen. A crazy bounce off the end boards that the Wings have used for years and Franzen doesnt have Duchene's stick tied up for an easy tap in -1. Then on the second Franzen gets outmuscled by Duchene around the back of the net and he centers it where its knocked in when Kronner cant handle Parenteau -2. Legwand was also in on the pressure that setup Jurco's goal. He initially had an assist but it was taken away but his pressure on the forecheck with Sheahan was what got the puck out in front after a dump. All in all Legwand was extremely solid for only showing up 12 or so hours before.
Sure its disappointing they lost in OT but the team is playing solid coming out of the Olympic break despite being down there top two players. They get a win tonight and they will have taken 7/10 pts since the break. They do that every 5 games the rest of the way and they are in the playoffs easily.

Fortunate enough to go to the game last night. Obviously the whole Nick tribute was spectacular. Great to see him and great to see all the guys there supporting him. Felt lucky to be there.
I thought Legwand looked pretty solid. Handles the puck well and had an aggressive forecheck. Think he's going to fit it nicely.
Need to bury our chances. Also I'm not sure why MacKinnon had enough time to make a sandwich back there before firing that feed for the GWG, but perhaps special teams circumstances need some work.
Tough loss but glad they got the point and hope they can bounce back tonight.

Rafalski left, Stuart left, Lidstrom left, and non of them were replaced. Holland is lucky Dekeyser fell into his lap.
Posted 07 March 2014 - 09:05 AM
I won't completely bury Jimmy for the game winner, but it's two poor games in a row. Dude is getting paid 5.3 mil a year and is sitting on 13 wins and we're in March. Gus will get us 2 points tomorrow, but if Howard doesn't get his head removed from his ass, we're toast. Hank and Pav.... miss ya.

Posted 07 March 2014 - 06:46 PM
I agree. I love Jimmy but he's not answering the bell...He can't even say he's just waiting for the playoffs like Ozzy did~as we might not make em blahhhhh
If we don't make the playoffs Howard should assume a big part of the blame. I don't care how many times the D leaves him out to dry he needs to get it together. His statement that getting one point last night was a good thing is pathetic. Babs too. Are we reduced to this - finding good things in a loss? That's what losers say, not proud competitors. If so, we are doomed and probably deserve to end the streak.
Posted 13 July 2014 - 11:36 PM
I'll be recording the FSD feed and will have it posted somewhere, probably on the site I run....maybe youtube as well.

Read more about RAF Methwold in the MHG's 2010 A4 27 page booklet, available from the group. Contact us for further details.
At the end of the 1930's as the possibility of war with Nazi Germany grew ever stronger
the Air Ministry began to look for new sites to expand the number of airfields in
East Anglia. Farm-
As war progressed there was increasing activity at the airfield, new
buildings were erected and there was an increase in personnel who remained on the station. Glebe House (opposite the Brandon Road entrance, now demolished) was requisitioned on the Feltwell Rd site (off the Lodge Road entrance) and in Glebe Wood which was festooned with Nissen huts.
'and so in 1938 Methwold Airfield was born!
The Methwold site offered camouflage cover for aircraft from a number of woods and plantations as well as room for grass runways and military buildings. With the closure o f a minor road between Methwold and Feltwell, the demolition of farm buildings and the removal of the tower of the old windmill, it wasn't long before Methwold was operational and became home for a while at least to a variety of bomber squadrons.

How Do Public Announcements Affect the Frequency of Trading in U.S. Airline Stocks?
Sylwia Barbara Nowak
International Monetary Fund (IMF)
November 19, 2008
Centre for Applied Macroeconomic Analysis Working Paper Series 38/2008
This paper examines how news releases, key microstructure features of market activities and crude oil futures returns affect trading frequency in U.S. airline stocks. Using the autoregressive conditional hazard framework of Hamilton and Jorda (2002), we show that on average, trading intensity spikes prior and consequent to macroeconomic announcements, but decreases around firm-specific releases. We find that market microstructure variables have a small yet significant effect on trading frequency, with high trade volume and narrow bid/ask spread inducing higher trading intensity. Strong evidence is provided to indicate that the intraday crude oil futures returns are relevant for model.
