In materials science, a crystal is a solid in which the constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are packed in a regularly ordered, repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions.
The word crystal is a loan from the ancient Greek word κρύσταλλος (krustallos), which had the same meaning, but according to the ancient understanding of crystal. At root it means anything congealed by freezing, such as ice. The word once referred particularly to quartz, or "rock crystal". Most metals encountered in everyday life are polycrystals. Crystals are often symmetrically intergrown to form crystal twins.
The process of forming a crystalline structure from a fluid or from materials dissolved in the fluid is often referred to as crystallization. In the ancient example referenced by the root meaning of the word crystal, water being cooled undergoes a phase change from liquid to solid beginning with small ice crystals that grow until they fuse, forming a polycrystalline structure. The physical properties of the ice depend on the size and arrangement of the individual crystals, or grains, and the same may be said of metals solidifying from a molten state.
Which crystal structure the fluid will form depends on the chemistry of the fluid, the conditions under which it is being solidified, and also on the ambient pressure. While the cooling process usually results in the generation of a crystalline material, under certain conditions, the fluid may be frozen in a noncrystalline state. In most cases, this involves cooling the fluid so rapidly that atoms cannot travel to their lattice sites before they lose mobility. A noncrystalline material, which has no long-range order, is called an amorphous, vitreous, or glassy material. It is also often referred to as an amorphous solid, although there are distinct differences between solids and glasses: most notably, the process of forming a glass does not release the latent heat of fusion. For this reason, many scientists consider glassy materials to be viscous liquids rather than solids, although this is a controversial topic.
Crystalline structures occur in all classes of materials, with all types of chemical bonds. Almost all metal exists in a polycrystalline state; amorphous or single-crystal metals must be produced synthetically, often with great difficulty. Ionically bonded crystals can form upon solidification of salts, either from a molten fluid or when it condenses from a solution. Covalently bonded crystals are also very common, notable examples being diamond, silica, and graphite. Polymer materials generally will form crystalline regions, but the lengths of the molecules usually prevent complete crystallization. Weak Van der Waals forces can also play a role in a crystal structure; for example, this type of bonding loosely holds together the hexagonal-patterned sheets in graphite.
Most crystalline materials have a variety of crystallographic defects. The types and structures of these defects can have a profound effect on the properties of the materials.
Amorphous phases are also possible with the same molecule, such as amorphous ice. In this case, the phenomenon is known as polyamorphism.
For pure chemical elements, polymorphism is known as allotropy. For example, diamond, graphite, and fullerenes are different allotropes of carbon.
Since the initial discovery of crystal-like individual arrays of atoms that are not regularly repeated, made in 1982 by Dan Shechtman, the acceptance of the concept and the word quasicrystal have led the International Union of Crystallography to redefine the term crystal to mean "any solid having an essentially discrete diffraction diagram", thereby shifting the essential attribute of crystallinity from position space to Fourier space. Within the family of crystals one distinguishes between traditional crystals, which are periodic, or repeating, at the atomic scale, and aperiodic crystals which are not. This broader definition adopted in 1996 reflects the current understanding that microscopic periodicity is a sufficient but not a necessary condition for crystals.
While the term "crystal" has a precise meaning within materials science and solid-state physics, colloquially "crystal" refers to solid objects that exhibit well-defined and often pleasing geometric shapes. In this sense of the word, many types of crystals are found in nature. The shape of these crystals is dependent on the types of molecular bonds between the atoms to determine the structure, as well as on the conditions under which they formed. Snowflakes, diamonds, and common salt are common examples of crystals.
Some crystalline materials may exhibit special electrical properties such as the ferroelectric effect or the piezoelectric effect. Additionally, light passing through a crystal is often refracted or bent in different directions, producing an array of colors; crystal optics is the study of these effects. In periodic dielectric structures a range of unique optical properties can be expected as seen in photonic crystals.
Crystallography is the scientific study of crystals and crystal formation.
Inorganic matter, if free to take that physical state in which it is most stable, always tends to crystallize. Crystalline rock masses have consolidated from aqueous solution or from molten magma. The vast majority of igneous rocks belong to this group and the degree of crystallization depends primarily on the conditions under which they solidified. Such rocks as granite, which have cooled very slowly and under great pressures, have completely crystallized, but many lavas were poured out at the surface and cooled very rapidly; in this latter group a small amount of amorphous or glassy matter is frequent. Other crystalline rocks, the evaporites such as rock salt, gypsum and some limestones have been deposited from aqueous solution, mostly owing to evaporation in arid climates. Still another group, the metamorphic rocks which includes the marbles, mica-schists and quartzites; are recrystallized, that is to say, they were at first fragmental rocks, like limestone, shale and sandstone and have never been in a molten condition nor entirely in solution. The high temperature and pressure conditions of metamorphism have acted on them erasing their original structures, and inducing recrystallization in the solid state.

The idea was to create a visual gem along the shores of Lake Champlain, a vibrant cultural centerpiece on what had been an industrial waterfront. But designers and architects had an additional goal: They wanted to create a showcase for a greener way of life. ECHO at the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain in Burlington, Vt., is just such a jewel.
The 28,000-square foot science center is the first Vermont project certified as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) site. In everything from the paint and building materials to the toilets in the restrooms, ECHO not only teaches the public how to live a more environmentally friendly life, it demonstrates.
ECHO, which stands for Ecology, Culture, History and Opportunity, is dedicated to keeping Lake Champlain pristine. Bren Alvarez, a partner in Smith-Alvarez-Sienkiewycz Architects, which designed the center, says that a sustainable approach was the only conceivable option for a building on a prominent waterfront site.
The color palette for the project echoes the environmental theme. At the heart of the design was the decision to rely on natural materials, colors and light. Skylights and huge windows let sunlight illuminate much of the center, where a freshwater aquarium and a shipwreck exhibit are the star attractions. Metals are mostly unpainted. Woods are left with their natural finish. The 18-color paint palette, mostly deep shades of red, gray, blue and black, draws from the natural hues of the surrounding region.
"We were very dedicated to the use of natural color," Alvarez says. The rich, dense red, for example, evokes native stone.
Clean Air First
Before colors were chosen, the first requirements for paints and coatings were that they be water-based and meet strict VOC (volatile organic compound) standards. When Mike Talbot, president of Finishing Touches Painting, won the bid for the ECHO project, he turned to Jim Reid, the Sherwin-Williams representative for the Vermont area. Sherwin-Williams' Harmony® Interior Latex Low-Odor Coatings with zero VOCs met the stringent LEED requirements, while also delivering high performance.
"We used Harmony whenever possible," Reid says. About 90 percent of the walls were painted with Harmony, although some surfaces required other coatings. High-traffic areas were sealed with a water-based polyurethane, Sherwin-Williams Wood Classics, while exposed metal surfaces were protected with Sherwin-Williams' low-VOC Bond Plex Acrylic Coating.
The green message is carried throughout the $14.5 million project, says Katrina Roberts, director of external affairs. Environmentally friendly features include fiber-optic day lighting, a solar thermal system for water heating, auto-dimming fluorescent lights and recycled materials. Even in the restrooms, visitors are presented with environmentally friendly choices, such as a button they can push to conserve water when they flush.
ECHO's design also showcases the natural beauty of its setting. The open space is full of light, cut by sharp angles and graceful curves, while windows offer views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains. "It's a thoroughly modern space, yet very Vermont," Roberts says. "It's special, without being shiny."
Making the Choice
Choosing "green paint" means making the environmentally conscious decision to use a water-based, low- or no-VOC formula. VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are petroleum-based solvents that are present in most conventional paints. Sherwin-Williams' Harmony® Interior Latex Coatings offers a zero-VOC, low-odor alternative, while still delivering a durable finish.
To use them most effectively, consider the following:
- Low-VOC paints often dry more quickly. This isn't a problem for most professionals, but can be a challenge for amateurs.
- Although Harmony is available in more than 1,000 colors, some very deep shades in the ECHO palette were not available, according to Mike Talbot, president of Finishing Touches Painting, the Vermont-based contractor that worked on the ECHO project. To achieve those deep shades, Sherwin-Williams ColorAccents Interior Latex was tinted with Sherwin-Williams Envirotoner Colorant. ColorAccents is low-VOC and meets LEED guidelines.
- Earth-friendly coatings were well worth the effort on the ECHO project, Talbot says, and green fits well with Vermont, a state known for its clean air and water. He says the low-odor, high-performance Harmony coatings stand on their own merits. "The products are great; we use them even on projects that don't require them."

Beauty can sometimes be found in complexity, in intricate twists and turns, and hidden messages. In rarer, yet often more stunning fashion, true beauty can be found without so much effort…It simply exists. It shines in an indescribable way and with an unconcerned sense of self.
It is in looking at the true essence of something that we can learn so much about the world and our place within it. As the layers peel away to reveal the delicate inner core, there is a real sense of connection with something fundamental, something real.
Art in all its forms can reveal something pure and unashamedly unique, whether that be in print, image, dance or song. Elmore Leonard does this with words, Bill Callahan does this with song and Andrew Zuckerman does this with photography.
A recent addition to my ever expanding collection of photographic books is Andrew Zuckerman's sublime 'Creature'. Often animal photography swings between extremes – from sickly sweet and painstakingly posed, to stock standard portraiture that lacks in style and substance. Thankfully Zuckerman is a freakishly talented artist with the ability to transcend all such problems.
With each animal shot against a startling white background, the uncluttered, unpretentious photographs allow the viewer to enter into a visual dialogue and peer through a hidden window into the creature world. In inviting us into their world, Zuckerman lets the animals simply speak for themselves.
With his collection of subjects ranging from lions, to bears, elephants and leopards, this book is a visual feast for all animal lovers. The detail and clarity captured by Zuckerman is startling and inspirational, leaving the eyes hungry for more. He is everything I would ever want to be as a photographer.
If clean lines and pared back photographic imagery is your thing, then Creature is the book for you. Aside from Creature, Zuckerman does a lot of other pretty amazing things with his photography, so some time spent at his website is well worth the visit.

- Great product! Review by Shelby
Price Value Quality
I used a similar product by Dermalogica in the past, so I decided to give this a try. It works just as well as their brand, and it's much more cost effective! I use this every other night and my skin has never looked better.
The best part is that a little bit goes a long way. A small amount will cleanse my face and neck, and it rinses off very well leaving no residue. My moisturisers and serums go on better, making those products more effective as well.
Spend the money. It's well worth it!

I used to wash my face with flash foam from BioElements but made the switch. I wasn't sure if I was going to like the powder form and I was finally seeing results from Bioelements. The results I saw from the DPC was fast. I think I saw improvements in my skin within the first three weeks. I'm about a month and a half in and my skin is close to flawless. I love how a little of the product goes a long way. My skin is left feeling subtle and clean. I never experience any tightness or irratation. It's my new staple and I'm never changing. This product is worth every penny!

- Dry cleanser? Surprised by the whole concept! Review by Susan
Value Quality Price
I love this cleanser! I bought it for flying, because it is dry and doesn't weigh much. My other glo cleansers are in larger bottles that are not great for travel. (I refuse to check a bag and hate to pay the high price for travel size products. Me, cheap? No, I just like a good value.)
Back to the cleanser...it is different. Be prepared. However, my skin feels smooth and clean after every use. It is excellent for removing my mineral foundation. It exfoliates and deep cleans.
It takes very little to be effective. I shake a small amount into the palm of my hand and apply with fingertips in a circular motion. It dissolves from the granular state and smoothes the entire area without drying or leaving residue. Rinses like a dream. Skin feels refreshed and accepts next product well. (I use several of the Glo serums at least once a week.)
My skin is dry, but my granddaughter who is 11 and my daughter, 28, like it, too. They have oily and combo skin respectively. I think my son would love it. It has no discernible odor, but since it is a granular product, I don't recommend sniffing it to check.
Sometimes, I mix a few grains of this and use over the Hydrating Cleanser and have a custom scrub. This is my go-to cleanser now.

The Magic Fountain of Barcelona is one of the collection of waterfalls and ponds on Avinguda Maria Cristina, which stretches from the Palau Nacional to Plaça Espanya in Montjuïc.
This spectacular fountain is the main and most important of the fountains and is very popular because of its water arrangements, sound and lighting shows. It comprises 2,600 litres of pumped water per second into its three concentric pools, water that is pumped back thanks to its recirculation system, lowering so the water consumption and being more eco-friendly. Though its connection to the groundwater network of Montjuïc Mountain, the Magic Fountain and the three upper waterfalls are supplied with water coming from subsoil level.
This Fountain was built for the 1929 World Fair by Carles Buïgas on the site where The Four Columns by Josep Puig i Cadafalch had stood before being demolished in 1928. Using extremely artisanal methods, up to thirty water arrangements could be used with different colours. In the 1980s music was added, and shortly before the 1992 Olympic Games it was completely renovated and despite of this, the fountain still has a large part of the original mechanisms.
The Fountain is just a couple of metro stations away from Be Mar, Sound and Ramblas or a 15m walk, so if you want to go for a late afternoon/night walk, here a good suggestion!
From 30th April to 30th September:
Thursday to Sunday: 21h – 23h30

Midwest Living Review
Opened in 2005, this $3 million, 15,000-square-foot facility in downtown Medora is a thoughtful tribute to a way of life that seems a million miles away to anyone not familiar with North Dakota's wide open spaces and rugged badlands. Permanent and traveling exhibits honor the role horses have played in the lives of trail drivers, homesteaders, ranchers and rodeo stars who have called North Dakota home (and the Native Americans who preceded them). Visitors start with a film and wind their way through an exhibit space that includes full-size horses and bison, clothing worn by cowboys and Native Americans, a re-created wagon, old photographs, beautiful saddles preserved under glass and fine art celebrating the cowboy culture. New in 2010, the museum acquired a vest that's currently undergoing DNA testing to determine whether it belonged to Sitting Bull, the Lakota chief and holy man who defied U.S. settlements in the Dakota Territories. A gift shop gives visitors a place to peruse books about Western culture and handmade jewelry. We couldn't resist a genuine leather vest (complete with a Medora sheriff's star) and chaps for a young boy's Halloween costume, complete with fringe and, of course, made in the U.S.A. Admission charged.

American Dream
Persistent inequality, stubbornly high unemployment, outsourced jobs, skyrocketing college tuition and
stagnant income growth have Americans anxious about the future. Has
the American Dream -- the
belief that anybody who works hard enough can move up the economic ladder -- become
merely a talking point for politicians? How does a nation with increasing
diversity and inequality keep the dream alive? Despite two long economic
booms in the 1980s and 1990s, the dream has been fading for many Americans:
In Pursuing the American Dream: Opportunity
and Exclusion Over Four Centuries (University Press of Kansas,
2004), Southern Methodist University Political
Scientist Cal Jillson explored the origins of this
cherished American ideal and the modern impediments to achieving
it. With up-to-date
studies showing
how the dream has changed over time, Jillson recommends ways to keep
it alive in the 21st century, among them:
Jillson is at work on a revised edition of his classic Pursuing the American Dream. The revised edition will appear in late 2016.
Since 2004, the American Dream has slipped further beyond reach for tens of millions of middle class and working class Americans. Jillson says that while his view of the American Dream has darkened over the past dozen years, a clear-eyed view of what the dream has meant historically will help us find a way forward. The goal of the revised Pursuing the American Dream is to help light that path.
Scholars and teachers of American Political Thought may be interested in how Jillson uses Pursuing the American Dream in his teaching. No satisfactory American Political Thought text is available, so Jillson uses Pursuing the American Dream to show how American Political Thought, and the American Dream as its central organizing idea, have adapted and evolved over the course of American history. Individual chapters cover American political and intellectual development from first settlement through the Founding period and the eras of Jackson, Lincoln, the Roosevelts, the 1960s, and on into our own time. The new edition of Pursuing the American Dream closes with an examination of the ambiguous impact of Barack Obama on the American Dream and a detailed set of policy prescriptions for keeping the Dream alive and, one hopes, vibrant for this and future generations.
Pursuing the American Dream is Jillson's sixth
book. It can be ordered from the University Press
of Kansas by phone at 785-864-4155 or from their website at http://www.kansaspress.ku.edu.

Q: The Passive Keyless Entry (PKE) system and alarm on my '96 C4 don't seem to be working properly. I was talking to some other Corvette owners at a car show recently, and they thought my PKE unit itself might be defective, since my key fob works fine. I would like to repair the system myself, since my local dealer wants more than $100 just to look at the car. Can you tell me where the PKE unit is located? Also, do you know if replacing it is a pretty straightforward job?
- DeWayne
Via the Internet
A: All '93-'96 Corvettes were factory-equipped with Passive Keyless Entry. Let's start with a general overview on how the car's Universal Theft Deterrent System (UTD) works. This system provides an audible warning using the vehicle's horns in the event of an unauthorized entry through either door or the hatch. If such an entry is detected, the PASS-Key (Personalized Automotive Security System) and FEDS (Fuel Enable Data Stream) system will disable the vehicle by not allowing the engine to crank and preventing fuel from being delivered to the injectors.
Although a separate system, PKE is a vital part of the car's theft-deterrent strategy. The system has two modes: passive and manual. The passive mode allows the doors to lock and unlock as you walk toward or away from the vehicle. The manual mode allows you to unlock the doors as you would with any other key fob. However, to set the alarm in the manual mode, you'll need to manually lock the doors using either the auto lock on the door or the key.
In the passive mode, the PKE receiver senses the transmitter located in the fob and automatically locks or unlocks the doors at a preset distance from the car. (Even in this mode, the user also has the capability to manually operate the door or hatch lock by pushing the corresponding button on the transmitter.) The transmitter sends out unique digital identification and operation codes that are only recognized by its corresponding receiver.
When the transmitter is in close enough proximity to the receiver, the two will be in constant communication to determine where the transmitter is and how to respond. Once the transmitter is out of range, the system waits five seconds, locks the doors, arms the UTD system, and beeps the horn.
Replacing the PKE Transmitter Battery
If your transmitter isn't working, the first thing to check is the transmitter battery. Let's go over the process of replacing it.
1. Insert a pocket screwdriver or dime-size coin into the slot on the back of the transmitter and gently pry apart the two halves.
2. Gently pull the battery out of the transmitter and then clean the inside of the transmitter with a spray contact cleaner. This procedure is similar to cleaning the mouse on your home computer.
3. When replacing the battery, inspect the transmitter for broken prongs. This is a common failure with Corvette transmitters.
4. Put the new battery in the transmitter; use a CR2032-type or equivalent. The battery is held in place by two retaining clips and can be difficult to install. The easiest method is to hook it into the bottom retaining hook first and then press it into the top hook.
5. Reassemble the transmitter.
6. Test the transmitter.
A weak battery will cause the range at which the PKE operates to be reduced. If you have noticed that you need to be closer to your vehicle for the transmitter to function, it's possible that the battery is getting weak.
Replacing the battery in your transmitter will not require the transmitter to be reprogrammed to the PKE receiver. However, a new transmitter or any additional transmitters will need to be programmed.

Salmonellosis is an infection with bacteria called salmonella. Salmonella can grow in a variety of places such as water, raw meat, seafood, certain pets, and eggs.
Salmonellosis is caused by ingestion of a strain of bacteria called salmonella. After the bacteria are ingested, within 6-48 hours they will pass through the stomach to the intestine where inflammation occurs and spreads.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your risk of getting salmonellosis include:
- Eating raw or undercooked meat, poultry, eggs, fish, or seafood
- Eating unpasteurized dairy products
- Eating other contaminated foods
- Drinking contaminated water
- Handling reptiles, especially turtles
- Taking antibiotics
Having a compromised immune system, such as in:
- Elderly persons
- Infants
- People with HIV/AIDS
- People with low stomach acidity, such as those who take medication that reduces stomach acid
If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to salmonellosis. These symptoms may be caused by other, less serious health conditions.
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal cramps
- Fever
- Vomiting
- Headaches
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may test your stool or blood to confirm presence of the bacteria
Over-the-counter medications or oral rehydration solutions may be used to treat the symptoms of salmonellosis. The symptoms will usually improve on their own within 2-5 days. If symptoms are severe, talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
- Rehydration therapy— Oral or IV fluid replacement is needed; electrolytes may also be added to the solution.
- Acetaminophen or ibuprofen—Over-the-counter pain relievers may be used to reduce fever or treat headaches and other pain.
- Antibiotics—These are required only in severe cases where blood infection may occur. Antibiotic use in non-severe cases does not improve a person's outcome. It may cause the bacteria to stay longer in your system.
To help reduce your chance of getting salmonellosis, take the following steps:
- Frequently wash hands and surfaces.
- Wash hands and cutting boards with hot soapy water before and after handling raw foods.
- Wash utensils thoroughly after using them on raw meats, fish, or poultry.
- Do not use the same cutting boards for raw meats and raw vegetables.
- Do not drink unpasteurized milk.
- Drink bottled or purified water when traveling.
- Cook all foods to appropriate temperatures.
- Place foods in the refrigerator promptly.
- Wash hands after handling reptiles.
- Certain medications, like those to reduce stomach acid, may increase your risk for salmonellosis. Talk to your doctor about this risk.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."

Gas tanks have become a subject of interest recently because of how much it costs to fill our tanks. As our Corvette's go-juice becomes more precious, it's appropriate to examine the hardware that holds and protects the gasoline. The tank itself is mostly hidden from view and keeps a fairly low profile in the maintenance category. Primary reasons for replacing a Corvette gas tank are rust damage (from inside or out), collision damage, and cosmetics (as in restoration).
The appearance of rust damage on or in gas tanks is a puzzler to some people. The tank was unpainted from the factory, but the silver-colored sheen of its surface looks somewhat similar to galvanized or galvanic plating. And the surface acts like it has some form of rust-preventative coating-entire areas can be rust-free, even though adjacent areas suffer from extensive corrosion.
The name of the coated steel used for gas tanks is Terne steel. This type of steel was primarily selected because of how the upper and lower halves of gas tanks are made. Each half is pressed from a flat sheet of Terne-coated steel. More specifically, each half is deep-drawn and the lubricity of the coating helps the steel slide on the tooling as the steep sides are formed. Terne steel has a dull gray finish from its coating, which consists primarily of lead with a little tin. Another attribute of this particular coating is it provides good corrosion protection when in contact with petroleum fuels.
Original Corvette tanks were made of Terne steel and had no zinc (galvanize) or nickel coatings according to Gary Whiting, president, Quanta Products LLC. The Quanta reproduction tanks are made with Ni-Terne steel, which has an additional flash coating of nickel applied to the steel before the traditional Terne steel lead-tin coating is applied on top. The underlying nickel coating provides a greater measure of corrosion protection.
We cover what's involved in removing and replacing a C2 or C3 gas tank and its related components.
For those readers who don't need to replace their tanks, there's a sidebar above on how to easily vacuum water and debris from the inside of the tank. This prevents corrosion or rust-through from the inside and helps keep down-stream parts, such as the carburetor and engine, clean and happy.

Curiosity Mars rover finds soil similar to Hawaii's
Nasa's Curiosity rover has found soil on Mars to be similar to Hawaii's after sifting and scanning its first sample on the Red Planet.
The robot's CheMin instrument shook out fine particles of soil and fired X-rays at them to determine their composition.
These sandy samples should give clues about Mars' recent geological history.
As had been theorised, much of the sample is made of weathered "basaltic" materials of volcanic origin, like that seen on the islands of Hawaii.
The sample seems to contain dust carried from afar by Mars' global-scale storms, as well as coarser sand of more local provenance.
The £2.6bn mission put Curiosity on the floor of Gale Crater, a huge depression on Mars' equator, on 6 August.
It has since trundled more than 480m (1,590ft) to the east toward a spot called Glenelg, a place that satellite images indicate is an interesting junction between three different geological terrains.
But it has been paused by the Curiosity team at a region dubbed "Rocknest" to get its first taste of Martian soil.
This first analysis served to "cleanse the palate" of the rover's sample collection systems, which may have brought contaminants from Earth that would skew its chemical view of the Red Planet.
But with that out of the way, Curiosity accomplished another first: the first-ever use of a technique called X-ray diffraction on another planet.
X-ray diffraction is a well-established approach on Earth, in which X-rays are shot into samples that are made up of crystalline materials.
The precise ways in which the X-rays bounce off the crystals gives clear information as to their chemical makeup, and good hints as to their structure.
The CheMin experiment first sieves down a soil sample, separating out the components smaller than 150 micrometres - about the width of two human hairs.
It then gives this sifted soil a shake while firing X-rays at it, examining just how they propagate.
The team says the sample contains "significant amounts" of the minerals feldspar, olivine and pyroxene.
"So far, the materials Curiosity has analysed are consistent with our initial ideas of the deposits in Gale Crater, recording a transition through time from a wet to dry environment," said David Bish, co-investigator on the CheMin experiment.
In the weeks since its arrival on Mars, the rover has already put its ChemCam and APXS instruments to work examining larger rocks, including a never-before-seen specimen reported earlier in October.
"The ancient rocks, such as the conglomerates, suggest flowing water, while the minerals in the younger soil are consistent with limited interaction with water," said Dr Bish.
The next step was to deliver soil samples into another ground-breaking experiment within the rover – Sam, or the Sample Analysis at Mars instrument.
Sam will look for the presence of organic, or carbon-containing, molecules that should give hints about the prospects for life on the Red Planet both now and in the distant past.

Sheriff Dana Lawhorne and members of the Sheriff's Office recently participated in several special events memorializing the September 11 tragedy and honoring public safety personnel.On Sunday, September 8, the Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities saluted the City's first responders with a ceremony and series of football games. Sheriff Lawhorne and Deputy Charles Poarch represented the Sheriff's Office at the "First Responders Cup Day" organized by DRPCA's Sports Section. The ceremony, hosted by Mac Slover and also attended by Fire Chief Adam Thiel and other members of the Fire Department, was held at the George Washington Middle School athletic fields. Each year, in recognition of the September 11, 2001, attacks, the Alexandria Titans Youth Football Program plays Arlington County youth teams for the First Responders Cup. Alexandria won the competition and will retain the First Responders Cup for the next year.On Tuesday, September 10, Clyde's restaurant in Alexandria paid tribute to the region's first responders, treating them to a cookout and live entertainment outside its Mark Center location. Sheriff Lawhorne and Sheriff's Office staff joined Police Chief Earl Cook and Fire Chief Thiel, members of their agencies, as well as the Department of Emergency Communications and law enforcement agencies from across Northern Virginia. Clyde's first began this annual tradition in the days after the September 11 terrorist attacks to recognize the dedication of local first responders.Then on Wednesday, September 11, Alexandria hosted its annual September 11 Remembrance Ceremony at Market Square. The Combined Public Safety Honor Guard presented the colors and Mayor William D. Euille, Sheriff Lawhorne, Chief Cook and Chief Thiel provided brief remarks as part of the ceremony which also featured the signing of Harold L. Blackford, Jr., and a rendition of "Taps" by Fire Lieutenant Matt Craig. City Manager Rashad Young and representatives from the City's public safety agencies memorialized the lives lost at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Somerset County, Pa., with the "Return to Quarters" bell-ringing ceremony. The entire program can be viewed online.

Comment: Make lots of copies (Score 1) 499 499
None of the originals -- or even 2nd or 3rd generation copies -- of any ancient or classical era literature have survived to the present day. What kept the works from being lost is that there were lots of scribes making lots of copies, and spreading them around. People did this because they thought they were good, so they went to the expense of having a copy made.
For your pictures and videos, even if you're not thinking of keeping them around for thousands of years, do the same thing: Make copies and spread them around to people who want copies. Convert them to different formats, too (Try to keep some high-quality, non-DRM copies for the next format as well). Don't just think in terms of having a monolithic collection (like the Library at Alexandria) either. You want each grandparent, aunt and cousin to be helping you to curate a distributed cloud of record.
The "obvious" tool here would be The Cloud -- but be careful. None of Google, Yahoo!, Amazon, or Facebook really cares about your pictures; they care about the revenue they can make by keeping a relationship with you. They're kindof like ancient scribes. Let them help you with the making of the copies, but don't let any of them (or any subset of them) keep your only copy for very long.

I think that turning off the Internet is pretty much an admission that regime change is inevitable. A legitimate sovereign power can enforce its laws without completely blocking everything.
You might as well suggest that ballot boxes are dead tools because they haven't been used in Egypt in a few decades... but they aren't, and they'll probably be used again very soon.

Guy Banville, Ph.D. 1934-2011
A former Saint Louis University professor has passed away. Guy Banville, Ph.D., professor of marketing, died Aug. 2. He was 76.
|Guy Banville, Ph.D.
Dr. Banville joined the SLU faculty in 1975 as a professor and chair of the marketing department. In 1980, he was appointed associate dean of the University's School of Business and Administration, now the John Cook School of Business. Banville moved to Creighton University in 1982 to become dean of the College of Business Education.
Business school dean Ellen Harshman, J.D., Ph.D., who was hired by Dr. Banville, remembers his enthusiastic commitment to SLU and his colleagues.
"Guy was full of energy and ideas," Harshman said. "He was always working to make the school better. He was a terrific mentor to me. HIs positive spirit and good humor were tremendous assets to the school."
An alumnus of the University of Alabama, Dr. Banville earned his undergraduate degree in 1960, masters in 1961 and his doctorate in 1969. He also served as an instructor and lecturer at the university from 1967-1969.
Banville is survived by his wife of 55 years, Rolande; one son, Carl (Lisa); grandchildren Emily Kneller and Kevin Banville; and a sister Rejeanne Chase He was preceded in death by his parents Claude and Alma Banville and two brothers, Roger and Jean Claude.
A Memorial Mass was celebrated Monday, Aug. 8, at St. Andrew Catholic Church in Cape Coral, Fla.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hope Hospice, 2430 Diplomat Parkway, Cape Coral, Fla. 33909.

HiTechnic IRLink available
4 comments:
I'm a newbie so be kind to me. Do I have this right? You build an NXT robot w/ PF motors. The motors are hooked to their power supply as well as to the receiver via a cable. The IRLink is hooked to the NXT brick via cable. The NXT sends instructions to the IRLink, for ex: motors forward 50% power, the IRLink *beams* the instruction to the receiver, which then activates the motors.

Very close. The IRLink duplicates the function of the PF remote under control of the NXT. If I want the PF motor to go forward, I repeatedly have the IRLink send a "forward motor A" (or similar) command. One issue is that the IRLink doesn't continuously send the IR commands, and if the PF receiver doesn't get a signal, it stops the motors. So to run the motors, you must have a Loop in NXT-G that repeatedly sends a "motor forward" command from the IRLink.

So you could control the PF bulldozer or Dino with the NXT as well. So if you have to send a continuous signal from the NXT, would the PF motor work better for appendages rather than locomotion on the robot? Also, I was just reading the blog's Idea book about parallel sequences. Would that significantly slow down the processor?

Check out this blog entry back on 25 Sep 2007:
It works pretty well - the signal doesn't have to be completely continuous. Also check out Philo's webpage on the PF system as well (also referenced in his blog).

Golf and the Gilded Age at Newport Golf Club
Written by Edward O'Reilly on June 27, 2012 — Leave a Comment
It's probably no consolation for last week's heat wave but if you were a well-heeled New Yorker living in the late nineteenth century, you would probably be spending the sultry days of summer living it up in Newport, RI. Not surprisingly, the story of Newport and New York's richest dwellers is well documented at the N-YHS. […]
