Image
Crittenden County School District has concluded its investigation regarding how a .22-caliber bullet – found by an elementary student Monday – ended up on a school bus.   After interviewing several students and watching bus video, school officials said it is impossible to determine how or when the bullet was brought onto the bus. "We feel  the action did not involve 'sinister intent' based on the information we gathered from video and student interviews," said Supt. Vince Clark. "The take-away from this incident is that we all have a role to play in providing safety and security for our students and community.

Further Confirmation Of Arctic Sea Ice Dramatic Fall

Image
Since early April, 2016, there have been problems with the sensor on the F-17 satellite that provided the data for many Arctic sea ice images. On April 12, NSIDC issued a notice that it had suspended the provision of sea ice updates. On May 6, NSIDC announced that it had completed the  shift to another satellite . The red dotted line in the image below shows data from the F-18 satellite from April 1 to May 15, 2016. The JAXA site also provides sea ice extent images, obtaining data from a Japanese satellite. They show that Arctic sea ice extent on May 15, 2016 was 11,262,361 square km, 1.11 million square km less than it was on May 15, 2012. The Cryosphere Today is still using data from the F17 satellite, showing some weird spikes. Albert Kallio has taken a recent image and removed faulty spikes, resulting in the image below showing sea ice area up to May 3, 2016. [ yellow line is 2016, red line is 2015 ] Importantly, above image confirms that Arctic sea ice in 2016 has ...
