   Individuals, organizations, and nations operate on principles or lose
   their way.  When the way is lost, what is the path back?

   "Enduring Principles for Changing Times," Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Cowell
   Theater, Fort Mason, San Francisco, 7pm, TONIGHT, November 9.  The
   lecture starts promptly at 7:30pm.  Admission is free (a $10 donation
   is always welcome, not required).

   NOTE:  It's open house at the Long Now Museum & Store for a wine and
   conversation reception following the talk.  We're in Building A next
   to the Greens restaurant, just 100 yards from the Cowell Theater.  Map
   [1]here.

   This is one of a monthly series of Seminars About Long-term Thinking
   (SALT) organized by The Long Now Foundation.  Free audios and my

   NEWS:  Last chance to wave goodbye to the Rosetta disk.  In 2004 the
   European Space Agency launched a "Rosetta Space Probe" to physically
   explore a comet.  On board is an early copy of Long Now's [7]Rosetta
   Disk with 2,000 human languages micro-etched in nickel.  Last February
   the Rosetta craft flew by Mars.  And now: "Europe's Rosetta spacecraft
   is rapidly approaching Earth for a close flyby on Nov. 13th. The
   gravity assist maneuver, bringing the probe only 5301 km above the
   Pacific Ocean, will fling Rosetta toward its 10-year destination:
   Comet 67/P Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Amateur astronomers with mid-sized
   backyard telescopes and CCD cameras can observe the approach; Rosetta
   is a 18th magnitude speck of light in the constellation Lynx:
   ephemeris."  The craft will reach the comet in 2014 and remain with
   its 2.5-mile-diameter nucleus as long as the comet lasts.  How long IS
   that?

   You are welcome to forward this note to anyone you think might be
   interested.
