if you're teaching earthquakes any time soon, please read Tim Goodman's
review of "10.5" at

        http://digbig.com/4bdks

and if you have the stamina, watch this new miniseries Sunday and
Monday on ABC (Bay Area, anyway). This film sounds likely to join the
ranks of "Volcano!," "Core," and "The Abyss" as opportunities to test your
students' logic, critical thinking, and understanding of basic physics.

Pass the popcorn --
