Hi GO-ESSP - We've got a crew using the Amazon Turk system to look  
for our friend, Jim Gray, who has been missing at sea for several  
days now. If you can lend an eye, so to speak, please do so. Charlie  
summarized it well; I've included his email below.

>> Friends-
>>
>> Many of  you know Jim Gray has been missing since Sunday evening,  
>> and yesterday the Coast Guard suspended its search.  A growing  
>> body of fresh satellite imagery is being put into Amazon's  
>> Mechanical Turk system so that people can search and mark small  
>> tiles of satellite imagery.  This allows hundreds to thousands of  
>> people to help examine these many large images.
>>
>> You can participate by going to the site below.  Prior to  
>> participating you'll need to set up an Amazon Mechanical Turk  
>> account (it is free).  You do not need to be an expert to help.   
>> Just having sharp eyes is enough.
>>
>> Please pass this on to others- we expect to continue getting  
>> images through the next 24-36 hours from both aircraft and  
>> satellite cameras.
>>
>> Thanks-
