Please, sometime today, take a moment of silence to remember these seven names:

Colonel Rick D. Husband, Commander William C. McCool, Lieutenant Colonel Michael P. Anderson, Captain David M. Brown, Dr. Kalpana Chawla, Commander (Dr.) Laural Blair Salton Clark, Colonel Ilan Ramon

Our thoughts are with the loved ones of the crew of the Space Shuttle Colombia.

*sigh* Happy Chinese New Year, everyone...
