Hilton Pond 03-22-07 (Yellowbelly Turtles)
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek070322.html
We got lots of feedback about our recent "Signs of Spring"
installment--especially our comments about Yellowbelly Sliders
sunning on a fallen tree--so "This Week at Hilton Pond" we're
revisiting the turtle topic.
The photo essay for 22-31 March includes numerous close-up photos
of Yellowbelly Sliders, hints for how to sex them, and questions
about their eyes and "turtle flies."
As always, we include a tally of all birds banded or recaptured.
This week's installment also includes numerous phenology notes--such
as our first Ruby-throated Hummingbird of the season--and a photo of
a principal cause of pollen in the Piedmont.

Apollo 13, We Have a Solution
http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/apr05/2697
This detailed 2005 article describes how saving the Apollo 13 spaceship,
which was launched on April 11, 1970, and returned to earth on April 17, 1970,
after a forced cancellation of its lunar mission, was the result of
years of preparation,
not a hurried improvisation. Includes background about the spacecraft,
technical problems, and the important role of prior emergency simulations.
From IEEE Spectrum magazine, published by Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers(IEEE).
