a KQED exclusive: the Internet Archive joins a network of federally recognized libraries that archive government records and make them accessible to the public. i wrote about how that affects Archive's legal challenges and what it means to be a library in the digital age www.kqed.org/news/1204942...

Upgraded to 7.0 earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

QuakeSky activated
