Nice piece in today's Santa Fe newspaper on the Redfish presentation  
to SFI and city/county officials...

Redfish presentation at SFI yesterday

Cool!

It was really delightful to have Tom Cova, Redfish/FRIAM, SFI, the  
Santa Fe Police, Fire, and City Council all in the same room!  I  
think SFI was delighted too, because they've been looking for a way  
to have effective "outreach" into the community, and this could  
provide an opportunity.

Several of Tom's papers are pointed to on the project web site:
   http://www.redfish.com/wildfire/
Tom is the researcher into Fire and Emergency planning who's been  
pointing out interesting ways for us to bring computational methods  
into the project.  He also has great practical skills uniting geeks  
with emergency response folks.

Must be a slow news day.  The story made the front page of the
Albuquerque Journal North  today, too.  Congratulations.

Less slow news day, I think, than (for once) public servants doing a  
fine and thoughtful job.  It was a riveting presentation, and I was  
very pleased to think my own fire department is in the lead of such  
planning.

Then I came home to my houseguests, one of whom is a former astronaut  
now working on the issues of deflecting asteroids that might hit the  
earth.  Many of the same questions--who pays?  Is evacuation a  
sensible tool (presuming that we can't get that tractor into space to  
nudge the asteroid out of collision orbit)?  And who pays for any of  
those alternatives?

"These days, from time to time, the public libraries launch an effort  
to get children together with books, and signs bloom on their walls  
saying
Read to Succeed!  This seems singularly wrong-headed, since few seven-
year-olds care about their future job categories, or at least no  
seven year old you'd want to know.  The signs ought to say Books: The  
Way Out."
