An Integrated and Collaborative Approach for NASA Earth Science Data
Earth science research requires coordination and collaboration across multiple disparate science domains. Data systems that support this research are often as disparate as the disciplines that they support. These distinctions can create barriers limiting access to measurements, which could otherwise enable cross-discipline Earth science. NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) is continuing to bridge the gap between discipline-centric data systems with a coherent and transparent system of systems that offers up to date and engaging science related content, creates an active and immersive science user experience, and encourages the use of EOSDIS earth data and services. The new Earthdata Coherent Web (ECW) project encourages cohesiveness by combining existing websites, data and services into a unified website with a common look and feel, common tools and common processes. It includes cross-linking and cross-referencing across the Earthdata site and NASA's Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAAC), and by leveraging existing EOSDIS Cyber-infrastructure and Web Service technologies to foster re-use and to reduce barriers to discovering Earth science data (http://earthdata.nasa.gov)
Helminth species richness in wild wood mice, Apodemus sylvaticus, is enhanced by the presence of the intestinal nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus
We analysed 3 independently collected datasets of fully censused helminth burdens in wood mice, Apodemus sylvaticus,
testing the a priori hypothesis of Behnke et al. (2005) that the presence of the intestinal nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus
predisposes wood mice to carrying other species of helminths. In Portugal, mice carrying H. polygyrus showed a higher
prevalence of other helminths but the magnitude of the effect was seasonal. In Egham, mice with H. polygyrus showed a
higher prevalence of other helminth species, not confounded by other factors. In Malham Tarn, mice carrying H. polygyrus
were more likely to be infected with other species, but only among older mice. Allowing for other factors, heavy residual
H. polygyrus infections carried more species of other helminths in both the Portugal and Egham data; species richness in
Malham was too low to conduct a similar analysis, but as H. polygyrus worm burdens increased, so the prevalence of other
helminths also increased. Our results support those of Behnke et al. (2005), providing firm evidence that at the level
of species richness a highly predictable element of co-infections in wood mice has now been defined: infection with
H. polygyrus has detectable consequences for the susceptibility of wood mice to other intestinal helminth species

Creative Solutions for Emerging Child Care Needs
Harnett County has one of the fastest growing populations of families with children ages birth to 5 among rural counties in North Carolina. Collaborative partnerships have addressed this emerging need through the creation of Cooperative Extension\u27s Child Care Resource and Referral Program. This progressive, educational effort meets the unique needs of Harnett County families through six initiatives: comprehensive training; referral line; child care data base; resource library; development of new child care; and newsletters. Results include 11,033 providers trained, 4,707 new child care spaces created, and 81 family child care homes increasing quality indicators
