Back again: Still catching up on email, messages, and scanning what I missed last week. I have a long way to go, but will try to post some things during the week. Spent a lovely week in a log cabin in the mountains....cold and rainy, then sunny with hints of spring. I love the mountain views in winter...no leaves to block the vistas. Things happened. We are excited. More later.

Meanwhile, some research news:

Sheila Lennon and the Providence Journal have been providing invaluable help to people needing to know more about their local tragedy: The Station fire Web log has been posted outside the registration area of the Journal's Website. There's information from readers, on pyrotechnics, foam, information about victims, etc.

Poynter staff compiled previous links to Iraq war story ideas from the Morning Meeting column: Al's Iraq Meeting. These have been indexed for easy browsing.

Resource Shelf's Gary Price has created a new site for more detailed links lists, called Resource Shelf Extra. This one is devoted to patent databases/information.

San Jose Mercury News photographer Pauline Lubens has started a Weblog of her photographs and experiences covering the mobilization in the Gulf.

Newslib listserv correspondents posted links to War on Iraq experts: at Duke; at Vanderbilt; at Harvard.
