Hi Barb, Let me see if I can help with your question: It is true that when you go to the updates section, the journals are not isolated for individual printing. The purpose of this section is to call attention to some interesting journals that are going online. However, much like the files you mention on LFA, we have a team section on Live from Mars in which we have biographies of the individuals and their journals listed individually. If you want to print a jounal by itself, go to the file of the writer at http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/mars/team and at the top of that file you will see "My Journals". There just like on LFA you will find just the journal for printing out. If you have any problem with it, please let me know.
