Hi Charlie -
I am searching images when I can. I have passed this on to many other mailing lists. I am praying that it works. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to help.
Regards - Mary

There are now some 40,000 images at the MTurk site (URL below) and mid-day today another batch of imagery will arrive from a fly-over just completed by the Canadian space agency.
Plenty of work for people to do if you want to help out. Jim disappeared on Sunday evening so time is running out.

Friends-
Many of you know Jim Gray has been missing since Sunday evening, and yesterday the Coast Guard suspended its search. A growing body of fresh satellite imagery is being put into Amazon's Mechanical Turk system so that people can search and mark small tiles of satellite imagery. This allows hundreds to thousands of people to help examine these many large images.
You can participate by going to the site below. Prior to participating you'll need to set up an Amazon Mechanical Turk account (it is free). You do not need to be an expert to help. Just having sharp eyes is enough.
Please pass this on to others- we expect to continue getting images through the next 24-36 hours from both aircraft and satellite cameras.
Thanks- CeC
