Die von Herrn Sarrazin angestoßene Debatte dürfte wohl an kaum einem in Deutschland unbemerkt vorbeigegangen sein. Fast jeder fühlte sich berufen, etwas dazu zu sagen, und fast jede Meinung kam dabei auf den Tisch. Sa bedeutet natürlich, dass auch ich als ausgebuffter [...]

"All our bags are packed, were ready to go..."
We are headed back to land now. There is a lightheartedness about the ship as people realize they are almost home to loved ones and things they miss doing or having. We are also coming together as a JR family, as seen in this [...]
A new study published online in Journal of Geophysical Research - Planets, concludes that tests conducted by the University of Arizona's Phoenix Mars Lander, show that "soil examined by NASA's Viking Mars landers in 1976 may have contained carbon-based chemical building blocks of life."A [...]
Quick, think of a place in the world where a transform boundary has formed a seriously big fault line, a place where folks are waiting for the "Big One", a place where a magnitude 7 quake is not considered the "Big One" (and think of how people don't really want to think about [...]

Tricia Arnold frequently delights me with her illustrations. When I first learned of her stuff last year, I thought it had a timeless quality and a charm that harkened back to the cartoons I grew up watching. Sure enough, she's just wrapped up "Don Bluth Month" at her blog. Makes sense!Here's her [...]
