UN Provides $600,000 "satellite imagery system" to Determine Sudanese Border
The head of the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Sudan donated a "satellite imagery system" worth $600,000 to the Ad hoc Technical Border Committee, the group who will produce a border for the troubled country.

Old Poll, New Poll
A few weeks back I did a very self-serving poll trying to get what/how many geo blogs readers of this blog frequent. My real goal: to figure out if I should "dupe" stories well covered elsewhere. The good news, even with a small sample of 28, is that most of you keep an eye on other blogs.
Results:
My regular geoblog reading habits best match:
65% A few select geoblogs
22% Planet Geospatial blogs plus other geoblogs
8% Just this blog
8% Planet Geospatial blogs
0% Read no geoblogs regularly
