Good to see the UAF mentioned again. The Gov's budget includes funding the university budget 17% over what was requested, with the university now looking at expanding the curriculum. The anthro dept. has been active inside Alaska, and will no doubt gain some more in the new budget. The Geophysical Institute has been partly funded from international corporate funds and partly from Fed and State funds and is a significant scientific and academic institution for arctic studies worldwide.

I thought of you when I ordered the book, Maps Of The Ancient Sea Kings, Charles Hapgood. I remembered that you're a fan of his. I've just begun reading the book, interesting. Wish I knew more about the construction of maps though.
