  PBS - The Voyage of the Odyssey - Track the Voyage - AUSTRALIA
This is Genevieve Johnson speaking to you from the Odyssey as we leave the temperate waters of southwestern Australia and head northwest over the gentle swell of the Indian Ocean toward equatorial waters and the Cocos Islands.
A vessel like Odyssey, because we are traveling to the remote parts of the globe, we can't get hauled out because of her size in places that we go to.
All in all, the Odyssey crew completed 5 research legs off Southern and Western Australia during which we collected a total of 38 sperm whale samples, 24 of which were from animals in the Southern Ocean.

 Odyssey the Band - Back in Time
Back In Time marks the band’s first return to the recording studio since 1983 when it was formed to record Ulmer’s landmark album Odyssey on Columbia.
Odyssey plays diatonic Harmolodic music, based on Ornette Coleman’s musical system in which harmony is free from the dictates of chord changes.
Because there is no bass player in the band, Blood’s guitar must occupy everything from the upper to the lower registers while at the same time acting as both a solo and rhythmic voice.

 SPACE.com -- Odyssey Spacecraft Generates New Mars Mysteries
After a full year of collecting science data, the Mars Odyssey spacecraft is in excellent health and set for at least another year-and-a-half of observing, a NASA official said Thursday.
Odyssey is also generating new mysteries that scientists hope the probe will solve during the remainder of its tenure in orbit around the Red Planet.
In one image, Odyssey's full capabilities began to shine as several observations were compiled to generate a scientifically intriguing color mosaic of the Ganges Chasma in the colossal Valles Marineris.

Odyssey Research was informed this month that our Bismarck Oncology research program at Mid Dakota clinic was recognized for being among the top 10 sites in the nation for its lung cancer research.
According to Penny Natwick, Oncology/Urology Project Manager, “This isn’t the first time Odyssey has been recognized for both the quality and quantity of its oncology research in Bismarck, but this is the first time for Shari Sanders, CCRC.
Sanders started oncology research at Odyssey at Mid Dakota Clinic in October 2004 and in her first 9 months screened hundreds of patients and randomized over 22 patients, which is about 2-3 patients a month on average.

 Amazon.com: Time's Eye (A Time Odyssey, Book 1): Books: Arthur C. Clarke,Stephen Baxter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
It's Earth-time 2037 and suddenly, for a few small groups of people, there is a huge upheaval in time, with the result being that people from all segments of Earth's history are thrown together in a crazy quilt patchwork made up of different time periods.
The armies of Alexander the Great and Ghengis Khan, separated in original Earth time by four centuries, come face to face in a bloody and brutal war instigated by one of the astronauts from 2037, who has a sort of "Man Who Would Be King" complex.
By the time I got to the last page -- which was not very long after I started this book -- I was wishing I had waited until the next volume was out so that I could go on reading and immediately find out what had happened to my favorite characters.

 A Time Odyssey
This book is quite different than the Space Odyssey books; I expect that in part, this is because it's not looking at the future so much as the past (what we see of 2037 isn't all that different than the present day).
But in Time's Eye, we have conflict between the cosmonauts and the Mongols (and I gotta tell you, the character of Sable is really unlikeable; makes you wonder how she got in the space program), between the cosmonauts themselves, and of course, the big meeting between the forces of Alexander and the Khan.
In the beginning of the book, the author's note indicates that this is not a sequel to the Space Odyssey novels, but rather a part of a series that is kind of askew of it; there is indeed something behind all of this, and we only get short glimpses of it.

 Odyssey Time Inc.
The Canadian warranty period for Seiko clocks sold by Odyssey Time Inc. is one (1) year from the date of purchase.
The response time of liquid crystals used in the displays on digital watches at temperatures below freezing is slow, and they tend to look very dark at high temperatures, but normal performance returns at normal temperature.
The good news is that although analogue watches may gain time, lose time, or even stop under the influence of powerful magnetic fields, they will usually return to normal time-keeping as soon as they leave the source of magnetism.

 Odyssey the Band: Back in Time - PopMatters Music Review
Odyssey was an oddity for a major label in ‘83—a time when Columbia’s major jazz artists were the then-young neo-con Wynton Marsalis and the comeback-flush-but-over Miles Davis.
Marsalis/Davis were a two-headed monster of commercial success: an Armani prodigy returning to the tradition atop one neck, and the coolest musician of all time slumming with late-career funk atop the other neck.
The music of the Odyssey Band (Ulmer now calls it Odyssey the Band) was a canny blend of Ornette Coleman’s Harmolodic style (picked up by Ulmer in Ornette’s electric Prime Time band), delta blues styling, a dash of country picking and folk strumming, and a tablespoon or two of world music spice.

First, sufficient time must be given between two successive discharges to allow the terminals to cool down.
Thus, although the ODYSSEY® battery may be kept on the shelf for two years at 25°C (77°F), if the temperature rises to about 35°C the battery may be stored for only one year before it needs a recharge.
In this test two ODYSSEY® battery samples were discharged at the 1-hour rate to 9V per module, then set aside for storage at 50°C (112°F) in a discharged condition for four weeks.

This reconstruction of Earth in effect makes the world a hotch potch of time where everything and everybody left is in an isolated pocket of their own time.
What time slip fans always like is how people cope in unexpected circumstances, how they can use their knowledge (often historical) to overcome the crises they face and in the case of military stories, how a few men with modern weapons can defeat overwhelming hordes of historical foes!

The twist is that the aliens don’t get their appendages dirty in the least: they smashed a planet into the sun; two millennia later this is supposed to make the sun give off a massive energy burst and destroy all life on earth.
This doesn’t seem plausible (wouldn’t the effect have been quicker given that the planet was 15 times the size of Jupiter?), but given the tedious elucidation of the scientific issues involved, the writers seem to have done their homework.
There were also plot threads left hanging that would have made it worthwhile if they’d been developed: the aliens’ motive, time travel, and the intentions of the three self-sufficient, all-seeing, all-knowing A.I. systems that were the best-developed characters in the book (since they were developed more by suggestion than by heavy narratorial focus).

The actual events described in the Odyssey take place over a period of about forty days.
Note that there are two time schemes in the Odyssey—the time which actually passes in the epic, and the time which concerns the events described.
  Notice that the first time scheme covers but some six weeks of the ten (or twenty) years of the events from the beginning of Odysseus’ voyage home (or the beginning of the Trojan war).

 Review of Arthur C Clarke and Stephen Baxter Time's Eye
So not surprisingly Time's Eye's opening premise is reminiscent of other work: in this instance Gordon R. Dickson's Time Storm (1977) which saw areas across the planet shift in time and the protagonists having to journey through this landscape.
Whatever the relationship, Time's Eye not only draws on 2001 but some of Baxter's other works, of which there are clear parallels with his 'Manifold' series and in particular Origin (2002), which I seemed to like more than Tony.
With more novels in the 'Time Odyssey' series to come this collection of work is sure to gather a following and momentum.
