This shows that Wikipedia is progressing towards becoming less dominated by Europe and North America and integrating the entire world more, including a growing number of languages with new or weak written traditions. The Middle East grew into a major area for Wikipedias. There are 4 major Wikipedias: Hebrew with 50,499 articles, Turkish with 42,162, Arabic with 22,098 and Persian with 17,307.
One year ago, 3 had more than 10,000 articles, 2 more than 1,000 and 1 more than 100. The total article count was 63,235. South East Asia, including 5 states in Indochina and 6 states in the Indonesian-Philipine archipelago, also grew into a major Wikipedia area.
These include 9 state language Wikipedias with 83,328 articles, up from 39,690 one year ago. Of these, 5 major Wikipedias are Indonesian with 47,748 articles, Thai with 17,853, Malay with 16,592, Vietnamese with 13,027 and Tagalog with 5,856. They are Tetum , Khmer , Burmese and Lao.
One year ago, the total article count was 46,996. The 4 biggest Wikipedias are Georgian , with 13,494 articles, Uzbek with 5,305, Azeri with 4,213 and Tajik with 4,018. One passed 10,000 articles for the first time this year.
One year ago, no Wikipedia from these countries had more than 5,000 articles. The total article count was 7,064. Indian subcontinent Wikipedias took great strides forwards in 2006: 22 Indian subcontinent Wikipedias of the countries of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and the Maldives have 78,890 articles and 8,528 registered users.
The 3 biggest Wikipedias are Telugu , with 26,114 articles, Bengali with 12,790 and Bishnupriya Manipuri with 11,760. During 2006 those two Wikipedias grew rapidly to Hindi 4,616 articles and Urdu 3,934. One year ago the article counts were 1,092 and 638.
In addition to the 3 that passed 10,000 articles, 7 have passed 1,000 and 8 passed 100. One year ago, no Wikipedia from the subcontinent had more than 2,300 articles. The total article count was 10,507.
American language Wikipedias advance in 2006: 16 American language Wikipedias for the first time together passed 10,000 articles. Today they have 11,234 articles and 1,839 registered users. This includes 3 American languages of European origin with 8,271 articles and 373 registered users.
The greatest American language Wikipedia is Haitian with 7,038 articles. Other european origin languages are Pennsylvania German with 1,185 articles and Papiamentu.
Sims, 22, was shot to death in the 800 block of Montgomery Street. He was transported to the Inova Alexandria Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. There is no suspect description, and police have yet to determine a motive for the murder. City Helps Katrina Victims In the days after the Hurricane Katrina, the City of Alexandria sent firemen, police officers and city workers to assist in the rescue and recovery operation.
Now, months after the initial devastation, the city still has several employees working in the Gulf Cost region. A team of eight police officers traveled to Picayune, Miss. Two teams of 23 firefighters traveled to Hancock County, Miss. The New Orleans Emergency Management Center has several residents helping operations run smoothly, including two firefighters, two Information Technology professionals and one Parks and Recreation employee. In November, City Councilman Ludwig Gaines presented a proclamation honoring those employees who helped during the crisis. Housing Bubble?
The real estate market may be slowing. He pointed out that the vacancy rate in Alexandria was lower than the national average, creating a strong economy in the city that has been pushing up housing prices. He said that the past few years have seen a shift in the city — with new condominiums now outnumbering new apartments. As supply catches up to demand, Jinks estimated that the housing market would cool. Superintendent Rebecca Perry credited the improvement to the dedication of teachers, parents and students.
Perennial Opening Day race winner Loveland Ski Area could only sit idly by on the morning of October 12, as friendly competitor Arapahoe Basin turned its lifts a full nine days earlier than it ever had. It perhaps was appropriate this year, as The Legend celebrates its 60th year of operation this season. Well, in the case of Copper Mountain resident Rainer Hertrich — the only human in recorded history to complete such a streak — he found a five-dollar bill. On the county and municipal level, programs were established to enable fire mitigation and fire prevention planning. Homeowners worked to clear dead and dying trees from their properties, and a widespread Community Wildfire Protection Plan took hold across the county. But the more we know about the pine beetle epidemic, the more nuance it seems is needed in the debate. While beetle-killed trees grow in numbers, a new argument about a consequent rise in fire danger arose. Water, or lack thereof, was less of an issue this year, as the hydrological year between 2005 and 2006 was one of the wettest on record. And on June 5, Dillon Reservoir filled to capacity, and excess water spilled through the glory hole for the second year in a row. In other environmental news this year, a surge of run-off from an abandoned mine above Breckenridge threatened a number of species in April. The result of the mine run-off: the Blue River flowed a deep orange color right through downtown Breckenridge, though no long-term impacts to the ecosystems there could be reported. Finally, boosted water flows in the same Blue River were the goal of the Breckenridge Sanitation District with their proposed Blue River Pumpback Project — where a series of pipes and pumps would recirculate water flows normally lost to Dillon Reservoir back into the river further upstream. The year was marked with much progress on the project; funding was secured and scheduling and planning begun.

On Dec. The year in the courtsAs always, local courts were the scene for some of the most newsworthy events all year. One of the highest profile cases in years reached a conclusion in mid-July, when a federal judge sided with local police officers in a civil suit stemming from a botched meth raid carried out in a Frisco condo in 2004. The case, brought by former Frisco residents Kathryn Rhodes and Joshua Brudwick, asserted various search and seizure violations, false imprisonment, invasion of privacy, and other charges. But the judge in the case decided law enforcement acted properly, despite cops finding no conclusive evidence of methamphetamine in the condominium. The 2002 beating death of Cody Weiland was still making news in local courts in 2006, as two of the people convicted in the crime won adjustments to their sentences.
Robbins will be either be re-sentenced or face a trial sometime in 2007. Referenda and local questions dominate November election ballotThe ballot local voters interfaced with on Election Day this year was notable mostly for the number of specific questions they were asked to decide. The Colorado state election ballot was the longest and most involved in history. Aside from state questions dealing with gay marriage, immigration law, campaign finance, the minimum wage, as well as decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana, Summit County voters faced a number of critical questions. The vote triggers the establishment of a new multi-jurisdictional housing authority that encompasses the entire county. In Frisco, voters rejected the chance to land a consolidated campus of Colorado Mountain College on a small corner of the Frisco Peninsula Recreation Area. The vote was 55 percent to 45 percent opposed to the plan, and CMC afterward said they would pursue a new non-consolidated campus in nearby Breckenridge.

Simon Baron-Cohen Director of the Autism Research Centre, University of Cambridge I remain optimistic that for a good proportion of them [people with autism], it has never been a better time to have autism. Because there is a remarkably good fit between the autistic mind and the digital age.
