This is a working link for the first of the sites in the JPL announcement:<br /><br />http://anserver1.eprsl.wustl.edu/ <br /><br />All science data are here.<br />Well designed, but I haven't found any color images yet.<br />Maybe none will be posted.<br /><br />Anyway, this site will be invaluable !!! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em>I feel better than James Brown.</em> </div>

Thanks for the links. I saw the announcement at Space Daily, but they didn't give a link.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to finding some of the image data that hasn't been released before. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="3" color="#ff9900"><p><font size="1" color="#993300"><strong><em>------------------------------------------------------------------- </em></strong></font></p><p><font size="1" color="#993300"><strong><em>"I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. Unsuccessful rebellions, indeed, generally establish the encroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions as not to discourage them too much. It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government."</em></strong></font></p><p><font size="1" color="#993300"><strong>Thomas Jefferson</strong></font></p></font> </div>

I'm sorry. The one I linked to has a capital "B", the real one has a lower case "b". I have the file on disk and when I googled on it I pasted the first link I came to. If you google on bell_2003.pdf and read some of the links you'll get an idea what it's about. There were links to it on all the spacey website forums about six months ago. Unfortunately all the links point to the same place and that link is dead. The only internet space I have access to doesn't like files that big. <br /><br />If people pm me with an e-mail address or snail mail address I can try to send it as an attatchment (if their e-mail account accepts files that big and mine sends them) or mail them a cd. It's a pretty good paper so it's worth the effort if you like that sort of thing. Sorry that's the best I can do.<br /><br />I'm sorry for the mess. I've been looking and revising this post all day. I hate it when the good stuff disappears for people like me.<br /><br />You might have access to this! I found it on his website at Cornell. The .pdf I mentioned is a copy of this.<br /><br />James F. Bell III: Publications as of March 2004<br />First Authored Peer-Reviewed and Submitted Publications<br /> <br />21. Bell III, J.F., S.W.

No worries bobw,<br />we will find the pdf, one way or another <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em>I feel better than James Brown.</em> </div>

You are right! I was trying to backtrack the google link but I never came to a search function. I decided to go straight to the Arizona State University home page and use the one there. They moved the file a bit but this link works for me.<br /><br />http://europa.la.asu.edu/greeley/courses/pdf/pdf_gw/bell_2003.pdf<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
