Nat Geo Mag Guardian of a Ghost World:
Unforgiving Land
The Fremont culture arose before A.D. 400 in the hardscrabble region that is now most of Utah and parts of nearby states. Despite the dry, unforgiving climate, they managed to cultivate corn, beans, and squash along waterways like Range Creek and the river from which they get their name.

NASA World Wind Plug-In (KMLImporter)
KMLImporter support extended ... I've extended KMLImporter placemark with lots of small and not so small features.
Most notable are support for folders and icons from disk. This means that you can now simply extract a KMZ file with a tool like WinRAR, KMLImporter will then be able to find the extracted icons when you load the extracted KML.
There have been lots of small fixes regarding styles, so just about any KML with icons should load now
A new version is available at http://www.twobeds.com/shockfire/WW-Rel/KMLImporter7.zip

Earth and space get top priority at Big Island summer camps
By K. T. Cannon-Eger
It isn't even spring yet it's time for parents and youngsters to make plans for summer camp. Several outstanding opportunities are available on the Big Island for students.
Future Flight Hawai`i celebrates its ninth anniversary with three summer programs: residential for grades four through seven, day exploration for grades three through six and family for grades two through four.
The residential program, scheduled for July 11-16, "is an intensive, space-themed program designed to catalyze student interest in science, technology and the future as well as make them aware of careers in science and technology," said Art Kimura, program director. "During the program, participants explore space science through 20 team-oriented learning modules. Then, applying their newly acquired knowledge, they are assigned to a mission crew and explore a simulated Mars landing site at Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park."
Training will include modules on robotics, life support, geology, biospheres and communications among others. An alien rendezvous will occur toward the end of the session. Housing and meals will be at Kilauea Military Camp.
The day exploration program is set for June 21-25, at UH-Hilo and offers a sampling of training modules from the more extensive residential program. Among possible activities are biosphere construction, robotics, pneumatics, life support and geology.
The family program, scheduled for the weekend of July 16-18, at Kilauea Military Camp and Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park.
Parents and students will participate "in the intensive, educational program involving a rigorous schedule of activities, which is conducted well into the evening," Kimura said. "In addition to the activities, a major activity will be a field trip to a lava field."
Future Flight Hawai`i is part of the Hawai`i Space Grant College of the University of Hawai`i. For more information on fees and schedules, contact Kimura at:
art@kalama.doe.hawaii.edu or telephone (808) 934-7261 or write Hawai`i Space Grant College, 2525 Correa Road, Honolulu HI 96822. Registration is on a first come, first served basis.

Matthew Fontaine Maury
7 Jan 2005 by W. R. King
Maury—Matthew Fontaine Maury—was born in 1806 in Fairfax just north of Richmond, ... in this one-time capitol, Maury was the “pathfinder of the seas,” not only a competent navy man but a hero of Commerce and the creator of Oceanography. ...
In the Physical Geometry of the Sea, which in ’55 outsold it seems even Shakespeare, (Maury) that it was Psalm 8:8, “the birds of the air, the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas,” that provided the spark to his intellectual fire, for at that time he realized that God, though seated in heaven, had left His mark elsewhere, too.
