While the info is being sorted, its really too early to declare whats going on (even though I have an opinion forming) there is some funny stuff going on regarding this embarrassment. Gotta have fun:

The Secret Life of Climate Researchers

Narrator

Our very planet depends on them. Yet they remain nature's most elusive scientific species, inhabiting some of the world's most delicate and daunting academic environments. But thanks to new breakthroughs in high speed cameras and email files, metascientists are finally beginning to understand their mysterious behaviors and complex social interactions. Tonight on Iowahawk Geographic: step inside the Secret Life of the Climate Researchers.

iowahawk - The Secret Life of Climate Researchers

Interesting article on behaviors of parents, kids, and society trying to increase social diversity and acceptance.

Snippets from article (note: there is no context in these snippets and they cannot be commented on without reading the surrounding text):

"We all want our children to be unintimidated by differences and have the social skills necessary for a diverse world. The question is, do we make it worse, or do we make it better, by calling attention to race?

Bigler's experiment (blue and red shirts) seems to show how children will use whatever you give them to create divisions—seeming to confirm that race becomes an issue only if we make it an issue.

When the kids turned 3, Katz showed them photographs of other children and asked them to choose whom they'd like to have as friends. Of the white children, 86 percent picked children of their own race. When the kids were 5 and 6, Katz gave these children a small deck of cards, with drawings of people on them. Katz told the children to sort the cards into two piles any way they wanted. Only 16 percent of the kids used gender to split the piles. But 68 percent of the kids used race to split the cards, without any prompting. In reporting her findings, Katz concluded: "I think it is fair to say that at no point in the study did the children exhibit the Rousseau type of color-blindness that many adults expect."

Moody included statistical controls for activities, sports, academic tracking, and other school-structural conditions that tend to desegregate (or segregate) students within the school. The rule still holds true: more diversity translates into more division among students. Those increased opportunities to interact are also, effectively, increased opportunities to reject each other. And that is what's happening.

Immediately, the children began to chatter about the stunning development. At the ripe old ages of 6 and 7, the children had no doubt that there was a Real Santa. Of that they were absolutely sure. But suddenly there was this huge question mark. Could Santa be black? And if so, what did that mean?

Even Babies Discriminate: A NurtureShock Excerpt

Found this site looking for wisconsin glaciation info. Lots of good maps and info contained within the articles.

Main Site:
Ground Water Atlas Archive

Clicking an area will bring you to that areas index. From here you can read the report or drill down to other areas. Example, clicking regional summary will bring you to the page and at the top will be additional links. Clicking the
Preview and download Regional summary figures--

will bring up the list of figures and images used. Heres where I found the cool stuff. Each region is slightly different in its content, but there are maps of geology, info on underground geothermals, and surprising for me, a nice pic of the glaciation areas like the one below:

A thread for videos of extreme skill displays. No broken bones or maimings please.

The kid showed me this one. Extreme Sheepherding. I love trained border collies and the fireworks at the end are great!

Extreme Sheepherding

This is using googlemaps to produce php queried markers with info windows.

function initialize() {
      if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
        var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
        map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
        map.setCenter(new GLatLng(45.8598, -92.6010), 11);
}
//Switched stuff here and ALMOST got what I wanted
    function createMarker(point, html) {
      var marker = new GMarker(point);
      var html = loc;
GEvent.addListener(marker, 'click', function() 
{marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);
});
return marker;
};

<?php
//connection stuff
//Then my isset stuff
//Then query stuff
if (!$result2)
{
echo "no results ";
}
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result2))
{
echo "var point = new GLatLng(" . $row['lat'] . "," . $row['lon'] . ");n";
//Switching stuff here prevents any google map from showing
echo "var marker = createMarker(point, '" . addslashes($row['loc']) . "');n";

echo "map.addOverlay(marker);n";
echo "n";
}
}
}
mysql_close();
?>
} 
//]]>
</script>

If I edit this line:
var html = loc;
to
var html = "loc";
it prints loc in the info window.

I have tried numerous variations on that line and cannot get it to produce the correct data in the info window.

When I view source on the page its showing the query is pulling the correct data in a list like this (I colored the data which is not showing in the info window):

var point = new GLatLng(45.845924,-92.625931);
var marker = createMarker(point, 'refuge');
map.addOverlay(marker);

Where its red, its showing up as loc in the infowindow if I put var html = "loc". If I leave it as loc, the markers and the info window do not show.

Any clues? Its gotta be something simple.
