A few bits of online news to check out. Our own Bill Gail contributed to this piece at Space News - A National Earth-Information Initiative. From Bill:

I co-authored the article with Molly Macauley (Resources for the Future) and Neal Lane (Rice University Professor) advocating for a ?National Earth-Information Initiative?. ?It proposes a two-year effort to look at fundamentally restructuring how NASA, NOAA, and USGS perform Earth remote sensing and distribute Earth information to the public.

Government Computer newsposted this quick look at some of the progress Virtual Earth has made over the past year.

And for fun, check out navdog.com, a new site that lets you search for local events and add your own. Its brand new so there isn't a lot of content in there yet, but looks like a well done application.
