NASA has blasted into the new year by not only landing a robotic vehicle (the Rover Spirit) on the surface of Mars, but also by transmitting the best photographs ever captured of the red planet. With that, Spirit is now preparing to meander about the surface of Mars and collect specimens of rock and soil -- the return of which is anxiously awaited by scientists worldwide. Spirit landed and made its first transmissions to earth earlier this week. And, as was planned by NASA researchers, Sprit had landed almost directly in what looks to be an impact crater, now nicknamed Sleepy Hollow. Researchers are excited to explore that area and the many other craters and rock debris located there. While the planet appears to be quite desolate, Spirit will soon be joined by its twin, Opportunity. Opportunity is expected to land next week on another part of the planet before beginning its own exploration.

The first site takes visitors to NASA's official Mars exploration site. Located here is all sorts of information on the mission's purpose, a timeline of events, updated photographs sent by Spirit, press releases, and resources for teachers and students. The two news sites offer reviews of the mission. The first is a detailed site from NPR.org and provides visitors with several stories that have been dedicated to the mission. The second of these is a review of the photos of Mars sent from Spirit. The fourth site is dedicated to the geology of Mars. This site, from Albert T. Hsui at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, is a great reference for delving into the details of Mars geology (as was known pre-January 2004). The next site is from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and provides a great description of the search for water (or the past presence of it) on Mars. Discoveryschool.com offers the next site which provides a great collection of teaching resources for educators wishing to bring Mars into the their classrooms. The final site, from BBCi, totes itself as containing "everything you need to know about Mars exploration." And, it lives up to its claim pretty well. This site offers a different perspective from the NASA mission by offering a look into the European Space Agency's Express Mission and the subsequent landing of the ESA version of the Spirit and Opportunity, the Beagle II.

AP - A labyrinth of caves left by 1800s sandstone miners along the Mississippi River has long been a forbidden and sometimes deadly thrill for teenagers, who ignore the keep-out signs and thwart the city's best efforts to seal off the passages. On Tuesday, the caves again proved lethal: Three teens died, apparently of carbon monoxide poisoning, perhaps from a fire smoldering inside the caverns.

Exploring an International Minimum Wage 01/17/2004 10:48 PM
I've looked into the concept of a minimum wage, finding many proposals. Some are based on the US minimum wage, or on an average of national minimums. Some are just arbitrarily set without explanation. These proposals often quintuple the salary of workers in poor countries. Here's a more conservative proposal based on a combination macroeconomic/commodity approach. Also, an explanation of the economic purpose of minimum wages.

AOL Subscribers Dropping Fast, Still
Exploring Sale 01/05/2004 06:10 AM
Remember the boom times when AOL would issue a press release every few months about them adding another million subscribers? It seems they aren't so proud heading back down the other side of the slope. The latest subscriber numbers for AOL don't look too good, and while Time Warner continues to insist that AOL is not for sale, the rumors are heating up again. The company lost 600,000 subscribers between September 2002 and September 2003. While they've been signing up some new subscribers to their broadband offering, they make a lot less money off of each of those subscribers. They also admit that they expect to lose a lot more subscribers, and some analysts are wondering why they don't seem to have any kind of plan to stop the losses. Meanwhile, others are predicting that someone like Microsoft or Barry Diller's InterActive Corp. may want to step in and buy AOL - but it's probably still a little too pricey for what they'd get.

Sprint Still Exploring Wireless
Broadband Offerings

Sprint Still Exploring Wireless
Broadband Offerings 05/25/2004 04:03 AM
Most people have assumed that Sprint was going to wait out this round of wireless broadband offerings (especially after they had so much trouble with their last attempt at a fixed wireless offering) and then look to leapfrog folks like Verizon by going straight to an EV-DV-based offering that would offer higher speed wide area wireless broadband while also giving them the ability to upgrade their voice network with the same equipment. However, as the buzz gets stronger about all the new wireless broadband offerings, people are starting to wonder if Sprint won't be able to wait that long and, instead, will jump on board with a different broadband wireless technology that's ready now. One analyst declared that Sprint would definitely follow in Verizon Wireless' footsteps and look to offer a nationwide EV-DO offering that would offer speeds in the 200 to 500 kbps range, but do little to advance their voice offering (the DO is "data only" as opposed to the DV, which stands for "data voice"). Sprint quickly responded saying they haven't made a decision yet, and are still looking at both EV-DO and EV-DV and Flarion's FLASH-OFDM technology that has been getting so much press lately with Nextel's trials (which, while being much faster in terms of data rates leads to other issues, such as it being quite a different beast to deal with from their other offerings). Still, it's looking like the wireless carriers, who had been hoping to stay on the wireless broadband sidelines a little longer, are beginning to realize that they need to be making their bets pretty soon, or there may be nothing left at all.

Microsoft Says It Is Exploring the Sale
of Slate Magazine 07/23/2004 06:09 PM
Microsoft, which earlier this week announced a one-time cash dividend worth $32 billion to its shareholders, said today that it was exploring the sale of Slate, a pioneer in digital publishing. According to company executives, Microsoft is considering a sale of Slate because the model of creating a Web magazine of cultural criticism and political analysis to attract visitors to its MSN Network has little business salience in an age dominated by search applications. And the site's small size limits its ability to meaningfully contribute to Microsoft's revenues.

Exploring New Roles for Community Technology Centers: Can CTCs Serve as Nonprofit Technical Assistance Providers?
http://www.compumentor.org /ctcstudy/

CompuMentor Report Examines the Capacity of CTCs to Provide Technology Assistance to Nonprofits. Over the past several years, much discussion has taken place in the nonprofit sector and particularly in the community technology movement around the evolving roles of community technology centers (CTC). One idea that has received significant attention is whether CTCs may expand their roles to act as nonprofit technology assistance providers (NTAPs).

With the support of the AOL Time Warner Foundation, CompuMentor took a closer look at this issue and published its findings in the report "Exploring New Roles for Community Technology Centers: Can CTCs Serve as Nonprofit Technical Assistance Providers?" CompuMentor's interest in this subject came from two vantage points. First, as an NTAP we understand there is a very large unmet need in the nonprofit sector for technology support services. Second, as a provider or services and technical assistance to CTCs, we know that sustainability is a huge challenge.

The key findings of the report, conducted by Rem Hoffmann, include:

* Although CTCs are perceived as tech-savvy organizations, they may not have the capacity to function as NTAPs.

* Technology skills are only one of five categories of qualifications necessary to serve as an NTAP. Others are mission congruency, business capabilities, the ability to subsidize the cost of providing service, and position in the community. While a number of CTCs meet some of these qualifications, very few meet all or most of them.

* NTAPs reported that fundraising to subsidize the cost of providing services was critical to succeeding. The report found that it costs much more to provide these services than nonprofits are able to pay, which directly contrasts the perception that CTCs acting as NTAPs can generate earned income to support their other programs.

There appears to be a small subset of CTCs that can offer NTAP services. The paper concludes with a recommendation to conduct further research of new models for NTAPs and CTCs to partner to deliver services to community-based organizations.
