Green Badge of Honor

UP IN COLORADO'S LITTLE VALLEY AND BIG ELK MEADOWS SUBDIVISIONS, residents kept green ribbons tied to trees in front of their houses for months as proof that their homes had passed the brutal triage that took place during the Big Elk Fire in July 2002.
"The green ribbon was like a badge of honor for people whose property was deemed defendable," said Estes Park Fire Chief Scott Dorman. "When we go through a neighborhood threatened by wildland fire, we make rapid decisions on whether we think a house is defendable or not."
Justin Dombrowski, wildland fire management officer for Boulder, Colorado, explained the firefighters' perspective. 
"Basically, firefighters scout for a place to take a stand against the fire," he said. "When you talk about firefighters taking a stand, you can't take any chances. Firefighters look for fire-resistant home construction and spatial openings around a house where they can survive in that spot. We have to look at access and what kind of safety zones are available."
Despite Dorman's years of preaching defensible space to the community, and much to the dismay of many residents, 70 percent of the homes in Little Valley and Big Elk Meadows earned red flags during the triage. A red flag meant the home was not deemed defendable and that the fire department would not devote any resources to defend it.  
During the triage, firefighters looked for several things to determine whether the house would get a red or green flag. The distance of the vegetation from the home, the composition of the roof and the slope of the property all were major factors in deciding whether it could be saved.
"We also looked at the density of the vegetation, the structure of the house and whether there was accessibility for fire trucks," Dorman said. 
When there is a gentle slope to the property, there can be a distance of 30 feet between vegetation and the house. The steeper the slope, the further away the vegetation needs to be. Other considerations include water availability and the kind of fire that is moving toward the property. All of these variables must be calculated within seconds as fire crews make their rapid assessments. 
If a property fails just one of the criteria, it 
is usually red flagged. "Sometimes a special hazard also qualifies a home for a red flag," said Dorman. In one case, a property was red flagged during the Big Elk Fire because it had 18 fifty-five-gallon barrels of lacquer stored there.
Although not a single house burned in the Big Elk Fire, for days and weeks following the blaze residents streamed through the Estes Park Volunteer Fire Station to find out what they could do to keep from earning a red flag next time. "We've given a lot of advice to residents on what makes a good defensible space," Dorman said. 
As time passes, Dorman is concerned that Estes Park residents may again grow indifferent to wildfire mitigation. That's why he and his crew were hard at work preaching the mitigation message even before the last green ribbon was taken down.

QUESTION:
How can Jupiter have sulphuric gas clouds when sulphur is a solid?

ANSWER from Bob West on January 12, 1996:
Pure sulfur, as we commonly know it at the surface of the Earth, 
is a solid and does not form a cloud.  However pollution from cars 
and industry and volcanos put sulfur into the atmosphere as sulfur 
dioxide (SO2), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), 
which combine with water to form cloud droplets of sulfuric acid.  

The sulfur in Jupiter is well mixed in the atmosphere since the 
atmosphere extends to very deep levels where the temperature is 
several thousands of degrees and sulfur cannot exist as a solid.  
There is so much hydrogen in Jupiter's upper atmosphere that the 
sulfur reacts with hydrogen to form hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas.  
Nitrogen also reacts with hydrogen to form ammonia (NH3) gas.  
Observers have seen the spectral lines of ammonia, so we know 
ammonia is in Jupiter's upper atmosphere.  We have not seen the 
spectral signature of H2S, but we believe significant amounts of 
H2S are in the deeper part of the atmosphere where we cannot see 
with ground-based instruments.  Our belief is based on the observation 
that most of the elements (hydrogen, helium, carbon, and nitrogen) 
that we do see are roughly in the same relative abundance as in the sun.  

If sulfur is also as abundant as it is in the sun, hydrogen sulfide 
and ammonia would react in Jupiter's upper atmosphere to form 
ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH).  Ammonium hydrosulfide would exist as 
a gas at a pressure in Jupiter's atmosphere higher than about 1.6 bars 
(roughly, 1.6 times the pressure at sea level on the earth).  
At lower pressure (higher altitudes) Jupiter's atmosphere is cooler 
and the gas molecules condense to form solid particles of ammonium 
hydrosulfide.  These particles form clouds, just as water molecules 
in the earth's atmosphere condense to form water ice clouds 
(the cirrus clouds) at high altitudes on Earth.

reorganization which has been long overdue.  Some of these groups have employed the word "politics" with an evil connotation and intend it to apply to a likely lack of ability or worthiness in the Governor and members of the Legislature elected by the people. In so doing, many of these pressure groups have and are employing the most nefarious tactics of the political pressure group^ the very evil from which they allege to be protecting the people and the particular cause which each espouses.
The State Constitution and the general purpose of the Council and P.A.S. reorganization plans look towards a chief executive who, in the public interest, is clothed with both the authority and the responsibility for the efficient operation of government.  The elected Legislature establishes the policy and authorizes the expenditure of public funds for administration.  The elected Governor is the chief administrator who is responsible for the proper execution of legislative policy and expenditure of appropriated money.  Both are subject to election and other controls residing in the people.
It is the considered opinion of the Council that the reorganization of the executive branch is essential to economy and efficiency in state government.  While we commend the P.A.S. report, it is the sincere opinion of the Council that the areas where this report and addendum departs from that of the P.A.S.; the Council has been guided primarily by motives of practicality.  A comparison of these reports will reflect the close correlation between what may be termed P.A.S. "abstract thinking'1 and Council "practicality".

 By the Chief, Allocations Branch:
 
 1.  In response to a petition filed by Dale A. Ganske d/b/a L. Topaz Enterprises, Inc.
 ("Topaz"), the Commission has before it for consideration the Notice of Proposed Rule Making,
 13 FCC Rcd 12590 (1998), seeking the allotment of Channel 290A at Missoula, Montana, as that
 community's fifth local broadcast service.   Topaz filed comments reiterating its intention to apply
 for Channel 290A at Missoula, Montana.    No other comments were received at the Commission
 in response to this proposal.
 
 2.  We believe the public interest would be served by allotting Channel 290A to Missoula,
 Montana, as it will provide the community with an additional FM broadcast service.  Channel
 290A can be allotted to Missoula, Montana, in compliance with the minimum distance separation
 requirements of the Commission's Rules without a site restriction.   Since Missoula is located
 within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border, concurrence of the Canadian
 government has been obtained for this allotment.
 
 3.  Accordingly, pursuant to the authority contained in Sections 4(i), 5(c)(1), 303(g) and (r)
 and 307(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.61, 0.204(b) and
 0.283 of the Commission's Rules, IT IS ORDERED, That effective November 16, 1998,  
 
 
 
 
 
 the FM Table of Allotments, Section 73.202(b) of the Commission's Rules, IS AMENDED for the
 community listed below, as follows:

 4.  A filing window for Channel 290A at Missoula, Montana, will not be opened at this time. 
  Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for this channel will be addressed by the
 Commission in a subsequent order.
 
 5.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That this proceeding IS TERMINATED.
 
 6.  For further information concerning this proceeding, contact Kathleen Scheuerle, Mass

valuation. Some of the merchants were of Rouen, some of St. Malo; some were Catholics, some were Huguenots. Hence unceasing bickerings. All exercise of the Reformed Religion, on land or water, was prohibited within the limits of New France; but the Huguenots set the prohibition at nought, roaring their heretical psalmody with such vigor from their ships in the river, that the unhallowed strains polluted the ears of the Indians on shore. The merchants of Rochelle, who had refused to join the company, carried on a bold, illicit traffic along the borders of the St. Lawrence, eluding pursuit, or, if hard pressed, showing fight; and this was a source of perpetual irritation to the incensed monopolists.
Champlain, in his singularly trying position, displayed a mingled zeal and fortitude. He went every year to France, laboring for the interests of the colony. To throw open the trade to all competitors was a measure beyond the wisdom of the times; and he aimed only so to bind and regulate the monopoly as to make it subserve the generous purpose to which he had given himself. He had succeeded in binding the company of merchants with new and more stringent engagements; and, in the vain belief that these might not be wholly broken, he began to conceive fresh hopes for the colony. In this faith he embarked with his wife for Quebec in the spring of 1620; and, as the boat drew near the landing, the cannon welcomed her to the rock of her banishment. The buildings were falling to ruin; rain entered on all sides; the court-yard, says Champlain, was as squalid and dilapidated as a grange pillaged by soldiers. Madame de Champlain was still very young. If the Ursuline tradition is to be trusted, the Indians, amazed at her beauty and touched by her gentleness, would have worshipped her as a divinity.   Her husband

The proposed Rules are totally inadequate and wrong-minded.
     
re: 248.1 Paragraph (a) -- The only acceptable rules will be those 
which begin from the premise of "OPT IN", and *not* "opt out".
     
The proposed Rule only serves to further place the burden of privacy 
protection on the consumer, rather than on those who would violate 
that right to privacy.
     
re: 248.1 Paragraph (b) -- The scope is too narrow.  By restricting 
the scope to only "financial product[s] or service[s]", the Rule 
allows for loopholes whereby a company could offer a product or 
service, claim that it was not "financial" in nature, and thereby be 
free to disclose the private information about its customer.  Recent 
changes in laws which now permit financial institutions to engage in 
virtually any other (i.e.: non-financial) business activity ensure 
that this sort of violation will almost certainly occur.
     
re: Section 248.4 Initial Notice to Consumers of Privacy Policies and 
Practices Required
     
There is a serious timing problem with the proposed Rule.  An 
institution could easily process a new customer account and begin 
dissemination of that customer's private information before the 
customer even had the opportunity to "opt out".  The proposed 30-day 
period is inadequate in any number of normal situations (e.g., people 
being on vacation, etc.)  Once the information has been released to 
the public or to any other party, the effect cannot be "undone". This 
kind of timing problem clearly illustrates why OPT IN is the only 
acceptable approach to privacy protection.  There is no possibility 
of a timing problem when "opt in" is used, since the financial 
institution would not be permitted to act until a positive notice of 
permission had been received from the consumer.
     
re: Section 248.5 Annual Notice to Customers
     
Again, this is inadequate and places the burden of continuing to opt 
out on the consumer.  A consumer's choice to "opt out" must be 
permanent and revocable only by a subsequent instruction from the 
consumer to the contrary.
     
re: Section 248.9 Exception To Opt Out Requirements for Service 
Providers and Joint Marketing
     
There must be NO commercial exceptions; only law enforcement should 
have the right to examine private, personal, information, and then 
only by written authorization in the form a search warrant issued 
from a basis of probable cause.
     
re: Paperwork reduction
     
OPT IN is inherently more efficient than any "opt out" approach.  No 
annual/periodic notices are required.  
     
In addition, excessive numbers of requests from financial 
institutions requesting that customers allow them to release 
information should be treated as harrassment.

Greetings from the PDE 2005 organizers!
 
Good news:  we had an overwhelming response to the call for abstracts.
 
(Bad news:  our abstract acceptance notifications were somewhat delayed.)
 
More good news:  we sent out the notifications yesterday, and the
preliminary program is now available (see the attached pdf).
 
*** URGENT NEWS:  the hotel deadline is this week (March 19)! ***
We strongly encourage you to make your hotel reservations today or tomorrow
(the GIT Hotel fills up fast, so there is a likelihood you will not be able
to get a room there after this deadline).
 
Yet more good news is there are opportunities to sponsor workshop student
scholarships, the student poster contest, webcasting, social events, and so
on.
 
Please see the workshop website for hotel and sponsorship specifics:

EASTERN THIRD OF THE COUNTRY...WHILE A BROAD RIDGE RESIDES OVER THE
WESTERN U.S.  AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD INTO
THE AREA TODAY AND WILL SETTLE OVER THE CWA TONIGHT.

A STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC WILL TRANSLATE
EAST OVER THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST SATURDAY MORNING...THEN INTO
THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.  THE BROAD UPPER RIDGE WILL
FLATTEN AND TRANSLATE EAST AHEAD OF THIS WAVE...CULMINATING IN TEMPS
WARMING AROUND 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL SATURDAY AND NEAR RECORD
LEVELS ON SUNDAY.  A PACIFIC COLD FRONT WILL FOLLOW IN THE WAKE OF
THIS FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE TROUGH.

ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL DROP SOUTH INTO THE WESTERN U.S. AS
A STRONG RIDGE BUILDS NORTH IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC.  A BROAD UPPER
TROUGH WILL RESULT OVER MOST OF THE U.S.  LOWER HEIGHTS DURING THE
WEEK SHOULD KEEP TEMPS CLOSER TO NORMAL VALUES.  THERE IS SOME
DISAGREEMENT AMONGST MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ON HOW MUCH cP AIR WILL MAKE
IT THIS FAR SOUTH...BUT WILL NOT CHANGE LATTER PERIODS MUCH DUE TO
THIS UNCERTAINTY.  MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ALSO BREAKING OUT SLIGHT POPS
OVER THE EASTERN CWA THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.  NOT SURE ENOUGH MOISTURE

MISSION CONTROL CENTER
STS-67 Status Report #3
Thursday, March 2, 5 p.m. CST
Activation and calibration of the Astro-2 ultraviolet telescopes are
continuing slightly behind schedule following a steering jet leak that
has twice forced closure of the instruments protective doors.
The leak is in a reaction control system thruster designated R4R, a
jet in the right aft orbital maneuvering system pod that is aimed to
the right of the shuttle. Flight controllers worked with the crew to
close the manifold that supplies oxidizer and fuel to that jet, which
effectively stopped the leak.
The doors on the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope, the Wisconsin
Ultraviolet Photo- Polarimeter Experiment and the Ultraviolet Imaging
Telescope were first closed to protect the instruments from any
remaining oxidizer coming out of that jet after the manifold was
closed. Once the thruster's propellant lines had been evacuated, the
telescope doors were reopened. The doors were briefly closed again
while residual propellant downstream of the closed manifold
dissipated, but are now open and all scheduled operations have
resumed.
During the period the doors were closed, flight controllers and the
crew used the time to complete a number of other activation and
calibration activities that did not require the telescopes to acquire
celestial targets.
The failed jet, which is not being used to position the orbiter for
its science operations, is not a safety hazard in any way, and does
not affect the mission duration. The flight control team is looking at
options in dealing with the jet, but has not yet decided whether any
additional actions will be necessary.
The Red Team -- Commander Steve Oswald, Pilot Bill Gregory, Mission
Specialist John Grunsfeld and Payload Specialist Ron Parise -- is now
on duty. The Blue Team -- Payload Commander Tammy Jernigan, Mission
Specialist Wendy Lawrence and Payload Specialist Sam Durrance -- is in
its sleep shift.
Endeavour is in an orbit with a high point of 190 nautical miles and a
low point of 188 nautical miles, completing one orbit every 91
minutes.

The riding boa8 would come round about nixie  clock to. see it you had gone to bed or not. If they could steal a chicken or pig and kill and cut it lip, this one gould take a piece and that one would take a piece and they would burn the cotton to keep down the scent. The rider would come round in 3\ine and ~Tu1y too when they thought the people would be hunting the watermelons.
~ When the soldiers came, the niggers run and hid under the beds and the soldiers came and poked their bayonets under the bed and shouted,  Come on out from under there   re free ~
~ ~ ~ ~.~----~---~----- Destructiveness of Soldiers
	~The soldiers would tear down the beehives and break up the ~ioke
hou8es. They wasnt tryin to git nothin to eat. They was just destroy ing things for devilment. They j~illed all the stoppers out of the molasses. They cut the smoked rosat down and let it fall in the molasses.
Rations
	Every Saturday, they would give my father and his wiTh halt a gallon of molasses, 80 much side meat. And then they would give halt a bushel ot meal I reckon, Whatever they would give they would give ~m right out or the ~noke house. Sweet potatoes they would give. Sugar and cotres theyd make. There wasnt nothing 1bout buying no sugar then.
(t
how the Day Went
	The riding boss would come round before the day broke and wake you up. You had to be in the field before sun-up-that is the man would. The woman who had. a little child had a little mors play than the man,
