Summervilles Nik Poland will represent Team USA at martial arts competitions this year.
Poland placed second in his age and weight class during the USA Tae Kwon Do National Team Trails held at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Jan. 9-14 to earn a spot on the U.S. Junior National Team.
Only the top two athletes from each class make the national team.
This is the equivalent of a football player being named a high school All-American, Ray Smith, Polands Grand Master, said. Now that Nik has proven himself he will be given more opportunity and exposure. They only hold team trials once a year so for the rest of the year every competition he attends, major or minor, he gets to wear USA.
Nik will train with Olympic team coaches Jean Lopez, Juan Moreno, Patrice Remark and Arlene Limas. Some of them already know Nik and the others will soon know him.
The team trials are by invitation only and only athletes who are gold medalists at the state level are considered. During the trails, athletes participate in five to seven matches per day.
By the time Poland reached the semi-finals, he was a little banged up.
I knew going in I was in for some physical matches, Poland said. My legs were really worn by that point and I felt the pressure because I knew what was at stake. I had to really battle to keep the guy off me but I did it and won 7-4.
In the closing seconds it occurred to me that I had made it, but it wasnt until the next day that I realized exactly what that meant and how awesome it was.
In the finals Poland lost to Connor Wilson, who has made the national team the past three years. Both athletes are planning to compete in the U.S. Open to be held in Las Vegas next month. Im excited because now I will have the second seed there, Poland said. Ill get a better bracket so Ill have a better chance at placing and I wont face Connor unless its in the finals.
Later this year, they will join the U.S. National Team for its training to prepare for the 2014 World Cup and other international events. Poland wont find out until later exactly which events the team will send him to.
Accompanying Poland at the team trails was his father, Mike Poland.
After Nik began making strides toward his goal of proving himself worthy of a spot on an Olympic Tae Kwon Do team, his father offered his full support and even took the steps to become a certified USA Tae Kwon Do coach.
You need credentials to get on the floor at these competitions and because of the costs involved it doesnt make sense for his Grand Master to accompany him to everything so I got my coaching certification, the father said.
That entailed coaching seminars, an exam and a lot of paperwork. His background also prepared him for the role coach.
Growing up, Mike participated in both martial arts and boxing. He continued to pursue both while in the Navy. He also helped three children rise to the rank of black belt.
His oldest son, Michael, and daughter, Morgan, are both third-degree black belts. Nik has a second-degree black belt and is working toward the third-degree ranking.

British actress olivia williams believed she'd blown it. Kevin Costner saw her videotaped audition for the female-lead role of Abby in his postapocalyptic epic The Postman and was impressed. Still, when he phoned the virtual unknown at her north London fiat and asked for a second tape, she said, "Well, um, no." Why? "I hate video," says Williams. "It's a denial of every artistic ambition to sit in a room with bad lighting and a stationary camera." After the call she thought, "At least I can tell my grandchildren that Kevin Costner rang once."
Actually, though, the postman always rings twice. Two days later, Costner arranged for Williams, 29, to fly to L.A. for an in-person audition, and she got the part. "Olivia has a lot of moxie, and that's very much the role of Abby," says producer Jim Wilson. "She doesn't take crap from anybody."
Never has. The daughter of two lawyers, Williams graduated from the University of Cambridge in 1989 with an English degree and later studied with the Royal Shakespeare Company. But after she struggled to find work, acting started to look like "a patently ridiculous career choice," and she was thinking of going to law school. Then Costner called. Her Postman part didn't pay much by Hollywood standards—$135,000—yet it has already done wonders for her résumé. She now gets stacks of scripts, she says, and is starring opposite Bill Murray in the upcoming film Rushmore. Not that life is perfect for the woman who recently ended an eight-year relationship with her college sweetheart. "Where in all this," she wonders, "am I going to get married?"

Historical Traveler Reviews Poinciana Sharm Resort & Apartments Sharm El-Sheikh
A wonderful holiday
A wonderful relaxing holiday. We hope to return very very soon.
Our holiday went very smoothly from start to finish. As we were arranging our own transport for the airport I was slightly concerned regarding costs of the taxis as there had been reports of people being charged ridiculous prices. However my concerns were completely unnecessary. Cab charges should be around 100 Egyptian pounds �10.00 sterling to the Creative Grand Sharm. Make sure you fix your price before getting in the cab.
On arrival at the hotel we were shown to our room within a few minutes. The rooms are of a good size providing your own free safety deposit box, tv, aircon and fridge. As we had arrived in the dark we thought it wise to eat in the hotel restaurant. Unfortunately this turned out to be the hotels only down fall. If we had been staying on an all inclusive basis rather than bed and breakfast I am afraid I would have been very disappointed we went back to our rooms slightly concerned and hungry.
However breakfast was a completely different story. There were plenty of options pastries, fruit, pancakes and fresh omelettes which were cooked in front of you. At lunch time we ate at the pool bar. Unfortunately for all inclusive people this was not included in your package. The food at the pool bar was very good but be warned the beer is expensive especially when the supermarkets sell beer.
We ate all our main meals in Naama Bay. All the food we ate in the bay was very good there is a good range of pasta, steaks and fish most main meals for two people including two beers cost us around 120 Egyptian pounds �12.00!
Back to the hotel, The pool is very nice and quiet large with a good number of sun beds. The hotel has a great service which provides you with clean beach towels for your sun beds everyday. You can also take these towels down the beach if you wish.
The beach is about a 10 min walk or there is a bus service if you are feeling a bit lazy these run quiet often ( Don't know as we didn't use it) There is also a jetty from the beach which you can snorkel off, however we recommend you take a boat trip to the reef we have never seen fish like it.
The hotel also has its own taxi service we used this every evening that we went into Naama Bay this cost 50 Egyptian pounds for the round trip you just tell them what time you wish to be collected and they were always on time. I must say that this is a better option then getting the blue and white cabs who would charge you 50 upwards each way.
All in all we had a brilliant time and we did not want to come back home.
I hope that this will be off some use to you. I would definitely recommend this hotel on a bed and breakfast basis.
Have a great time We wish we were going with you
Julia & Martin
i am a sinlge mum of 4 kids under 9 years, i booked a last min holiday over the phone on a whim, then excitedly looked up the place id booked.... my heart sank, i thought.. "what have i done"?
i can only assume the people who'd written the reports i read were staying somewhere else!
the creative grand sharm resort is FANTASTIC! the place itself is beautifull, well layed out, secure well maintained. now lets talk about the rooms (we stayed in two different rooms) first of all we had been booked into a room too small for us,(the fault of the travel company) as i sat in reception waiting to be moved i thought "here we go", the manager,Rafik, appeared and dealt with the problem quickly and more than efficiently, we were put in 2 large ajoining rooms. then, on the second week, we had to be moved due to the room being painted, Rafik said they were sorry to have to move us, and to compensate put us in a lovely 2 bed villa with private garden.
the rooms were thouroughly cleaned every day, fresh linen and towels, fresh flowers in vases and on my pillow!
we stayed 'bed and breakfast', the breakfasts were the only thing that made me want to leave my comfortable bed! what a marvellous selection, and such service with a smile. i miss it terribly!
the pool was second to none, with fresh big beach towels every day, which you could take out with you, and a poolside resteraunt, which i have to admit to only ordering pizza from, but i can assure you, it was lovely pizza, and it was brought to us at the poolside and to our room.
we booked a snorkelling trip to Tiran Island through Ibrahem, the resident diver, who made sure he came on the trip with us to help me look after the children. it was fantastic! ibrahem and the other crew gave us the most wonderfull day. (we'd done a trip to ras mohammed through CIAO CARLO, dont, u have been warned)
the security in the hotel are fantastic, they see you to your room late at night. i even recieved a messege at gatwick to make sure id got home safely!!!(thankyou ibrahim,police man)
sharm its self is great. yes you will get ripped off if you allow it, but you dont have to be on your guard all the time. treat shop owners with good humour and youll make a friend.
i was stranded in Na ama bay one night when my cash card wouldnt work, and a shop keeper, Mido, saw i was having trouble and he withdrew money from his own account to give to me, 200 L.E Would this ever happen at home?
as for the beach... what can i say.. el maya beach is great. the kids were taken out on the speed boat, pedelo and bananna and were looked after better than i would myself! mostufa, iman, mohammed, eman and everyone else are amazing, honestly.
i would highly reccomend this little piece of heaven to anyone.... im now making plans to move to sharm el sheikh for good!
as a single female with kids, i felt so welcome and safe there, i cant wait to get back.
if you haven't yet booked your holiday here, do so.. if you have, well done, you'll have a great time, tell everyone i said hello!
from Linza and
Georgie (9) Alfie (8) Laura (7) and Harrison (3)
MY WIFE MY 2 CHILDREN AGE 9 AND 4 AND MYSELF have just returned 19jan 06 after a 2 week stay after reading some of the reviews on this site i thought ouch OH NOOOO well let me tell u the hotel was fantastic the rooms are fab especailly room 304 -food was great loved it everyday -very clean- the staff are well just the best ive met- they deserve more money than there �35 per month yes per month i felt so safe in egypt with my family if u do any excursions book them with [star tours] near fantastia across the road where the reps in the hotel charge over double for the same trip honest,the creative grand sharm beach is great ,sharks bay is the best out the lot only just beating creative grand sharms beach.we want to go back NOW PLEASE GIVE US MONEY [SMILES]if u do go please please tell AHMED the resturant manager hello from daren liam and bethany
Here now
We are here at the creative grand sharm
I have read the reports and wonder if I am at the same hotel
It is a great hotel food great and a good selection
Room great pool area great staff great and very friendly.
We have travelled all over the world and have had good hotels and not so good
But this place rates in my top 10
It is the 1st time in egypt and it certainly will not be our last
If anybody is worried about coming to sharm dont it is very safe and a great place to come too
Creative Grand Sharm Resort Good Value
I made the same mistake as the reviewer,I did not read my contract properly. I assumed it was a hotel but it is a resort, equal to three stars but not the 5 at the Ibortel Grand Sharm which stands in front of it on the beach. The rooms were good, very clean,towels and bed linen every day. Beach Towels every day which you could take out of the resort. The resort had access to two beaches, one by bus or walk the other down by the old town. A free bus service to both, but in fact you could walk quicker to the beach near the hotel than wait for the bus. We only had breakfast and it was fine. Reports were that the dinners were ok. The only people who appeared dissatified were on a all inclusive package which appears to be poor beacause there was quite a wide range of guests and the resort had to control who got what. Also there was no late night food.
The pool bar food was good but this closed about 6pm
With regard to alcohol and wine this is expensive, by local spirits and set yourself up for the night so that you do not have to buy too many when out.
We had fillet steak dinners for two, which came to less than the cost of a very modest bottle of red wine. a Bottle of their Gin �4.00 sterling. Beer appears to be reasonable.
The weather was great and we would go back to this resort. Naama Bay is better for the young as it is more like a structured resort, but keep in mind many of the hotels had rooms on both sides of a very busy road. Even the biggest so if you are paying a lot make sure your room is allocated on the beach side if you have children.
In general the people are very nice,but be very careful when changing money,carefully separate the notes into each value and count them in front of the teller at all times. The receipt will be right giving you the amount due as it would be illegal to falsify this but it appears that some will try to short change you. When the count is completed and you find a shortage another note will appear to make it up.
Beware of the jokey value place on some service as it may be ten times more than it should be, and if you payed this, that would be just great.
One shop keeper tried to keep 10 Egyption Pounds in change by offering a ten note and asking for 5 change
but not offering the further 10 that was due to make up the 15 from a 50 note.
Taxi drivers always ask for 50 regardless, half this at least old town to Naama bay 20 to 35 no more.
always negotiate the price before getting into the car.
Always have the correct cash for taxi's as some may say on arrival 30 dollars or euro's or demand more than agreed. Throw down the agreed amount and get out.
No road signs so getting about using car hire could be difficult. It also appears that they cannot be trusted with roundabouts so they have a weird road system which greatly increases the distances you have to travel.
Security appears to be high all hotels have police and security guards on the gates with some form of metal detectors. Regular roadside checks with groups of armed police, but not threatening.
In general a very interesting and enjoyable holiday
best weather yet for December.
Sorry its so long but it may help some
Very clean apartment
We are 2 women from Denmark,who just have spent 3 weeks at this hotel.We enjoyed it very much-the staff was very kind and the cleaning of the room in top.
The 2 beaches of the hotel very good,and the buses both to the beaches and to Sharm and Nama Bay went very precisely.
We did not use the restaurant at the hotel,but the prices seems to be Ok.In general Habada was very cheap.
The supermarket 247 and the big Sheik Abdella lying very close to each other in Habada were cheaper than most supermarkets and had much more to choose from.
Besides there was a very cheap place to bye bear,wine local alkohol etc.and a bakery in this area.
We had stayed in Naama Bay earlier,but were very pleased vith staying in Habada and next time we plan to stay at this hotel again.
Good Time
We had booked a two week holiday at the Creative Grand Sharm after reading a view review had a few reservations.
I can safely say that I had a thoroughly enjoyable time at the Creative Grand Sharm. The staff were all helpful and friendly, the room was very clean and all the grounds were well kept.
The hotel is not directly on the beach but you do have access to a private beach which is a short walk away through their sister hotel. The hotel does provide a bus for people who may find the walk in the heat difficult! You do not have to take the bus! The beach is worth a visit as it had a fantastic reef!
I would recommend taking Egyptian Pounds instead of dollars as all the prices in the restaurants etc are in Egyptian pounds. This also means that you will not get "ripped off" when they try to figure out the price in another currency!
The food in the hotel isn't brilliant, however there are plenty of restaurants across the street, or you can take the free shuttle bus into Nama Bay which has endless restaurants and bars if you are willing to leave the hotel and explore!
As for alcohol, it is a Muslim country so alcohol is a bit on the expensive side. It was about �2.00 for a bottle (large) of the local lager and a little bit more for Heineken. The Spirits are more expensive but we just got our spirits from Duty Free and had a few drinks in the room before we went out!
The hotel is not as "posh" as the other hotels around it, but then you get what you pay for! You must also remember that it is a completely different culture and things are done differently. If you want things to be at the same as back at home then Egypt is not the place for you.
Great Hotel
Just got back from 2 weeks staying at the Creative Grand Sharm and have found it to be an excellent hotel especially for the price.
There are 2 Grand Sharm Hotels, this one is the Creative Grand Sharm and the other is the Ibrotel Grand Sharm. The Ibrotel hotel is nearer the beach and from the outside looks a little nice but is more expensive.
Our room was excellent; there was a TV, Fridge, Safe and hair dryer in the room as well as excellent air conditioning. We did not have dinner in the restaurant as there is a free shuttle bus, which takes you to the nearby town (5km) of Naama Bay where there is loads of places to choose from. We did however have lunch and breakfast in the hotel and although it got a bit boring as there wasn't much choice the food was reasonably priced and of good quality.
The swimming pool was large but there were not enough sunbeds around it, these were always "reserved" with a towel before 8am but there were always sunbeds at the beach, which is a much better place to spend the day anyway.
I do not agree at all with the points raised in the review from the American guy. The only problems he seemed to have were the rum was too expensive - It's a Muslim country, alcohol (especially imported stuff) is expensive, it is the same everywhere in the country - and the exchange rate wasn't good - PAY WITH LOCAL CURRENCY!!! - they are doing you a favour by accepting USD so give them a break.
You do not need to catch a bus to go to the beach, the beach is 5 mins walk away; the bus is a free courtesy bus for the elderly, kids, or lazy Americans who have trouble walking in the heat.
Good Value
We booked this holiday on a late deal and cost very little.
Our bathroom was the main complaint as it stank of sewage and the shower was freezing.
We had an all inclusive package the food was fine but got dull after a few days.
The in house 'club' was very dated and not great.
Although it was very friendly and good value for money.
If you are looking to lay in the sun and snorkel this place is fine! wild nights out you need to travel
Beware Bait and Switch.Horrible place
Well, if you go here after this, you have been warned!
FIRST AND FOREMOST, there is TWO Grand Sharm Resorts. The XXX Grand Sharm, and the "Creative" Grand Sharm. Now if you make the SAME mistake I did and book through a tour company like Travel Bargains, you will get their bargain, and your misery. I actually asked the rip off salesman if this was a 4 star ON the beach, and he assured me it was. Well, it wasn't. It was the suspiciously like named "Grand Sharm" that s off a transit road, stuck approximately one mile behind the REAL Grand Sharm (which really id look like a nice hotel). First clue when arriving at night was the drop off in the driveway of what looked like a roadside travel lodge.
The lobby was the second clue for the guest to go "Oh no, I've been had!" It is a tiny room off of the driveway. Third was the ridiculous rip off exchange rate the hotel offered. 76 cents worse than the real exchange rate.
First night we arrived at about 9 PM and the room still wasn't cleaned. They were friendly enough, but when we went for dinner, the ONLY open restaurant was either the very overpriced and underwhelming buffet, or their tellingly abandoned outdoor caf�. We tried it and the food was disgusting. Ordered a rum and coke. The waited reported they didn't have rum. But they had Bacardi! He was clueless that it was the same. He brought a can of coke and a glass with approximately 1 cm of rum. I objected and they said any more would be a "double". I surrendered and said to leave it alone. When the bill came and I was charged 9 USD for the joke of a drink I was shocked.
Having been to Egypt before I knew that you will get ripped off at any and every turn, and you have to be careful, but drinks are genuinely expensive here. I tried to make the best of being ripped off, but the next morning when I got up and headed for the beach and learned you had to take a bus to get to the beach (which is really the REAL Grand Sharm resort's beach) I realized I could not stay here.
The only decent thing was the pool was OK.
After a conversation with a VERY inflexible Thomas Cook representative, I was left with a decision. So I relocated myself to the Jolle Villa Movenpick in Sharm Na'am Bay. A GREAT hotel well worth the few extra dollars!
Stay AWAY from this flea trap! I learned. If you want to save a few dollars, arrange a bargain flight, but SELF arrange at a KNOWN good hotel.

Australia victory opens lead
Watch highlights of Australia's victory over England at Lord's
By Rob Barnett
Australia moved two points ahead in the Women's Ashes with a tense, at Lord's in the opening one-day international.
The tourists' 203 for eight on a slow and sun-baked pitch proved too much for Charlotte Edwards' side, who were dismissed with 15 balls of their innings unused.
It moves Australia to four points while England have two, with 10 still available from two more ODIs and three Twenty20 internationals.
Australia's spinners strangled the hosts, who were reasonably placed at 99 for one in the 28th over when Sarah Taylor and Edwards were going well. Yet Taylor was lbw for 22 to slow-left-armer Jess Jonassen, who then had Lydia Greenway caught behind.
Off-spinner Erin Osborne made the most telling breakthrough when she induced a nick behind from Edwards, attempting to cut on 61, that left England 142 for four in the 38th.
Soon after, the batting powerplay yielded just 18 runs and the last six wickets went for 34 as Jonassen returned limited-overs-best figures of 4-38 and Osborne took 3-39.
Edwards and Arran Brindle had steadily added 63 by the 19th over on a slowing surface until Brindle holed out off Osborne for 21. Twenty-five from last week's Test centurion Heather Knight was England's only other double-figure score besides Edwards' and Taylor's.
Australia's 203 for eight owed much to 56 from Meg Lanning, although Katherine Brunt impressed with 3-29 and Laura Marsh with 2-27.
Having won the toss on a gloriously sunny day, it seemed Australia had been limited to a below-par total in the first match to be steamed live by the ECB.
Brunt had Rachael Haynes caught and bowled in the first over and Jess Cameron held at square-leg soon after.
Opener Lanning, who regularly hit fours over the infield, led a strong riposte with 56 from 64 balls. She shared a sprightly 74-run stand with skipper Jodie Fields until being caught at mid-on off Marsh.
Marsh similarly had Fields held at mid-off for 32 before England limited their opponents to 28 in the batting powerplay, during which Alex Blackwell was run out for 23.
The hosts continued to chip away in the closing overs when Jenny Gunn became England's leading ODI wicket-taker with her 103rd scalp.
Speaking after the match, Marsh said: "At the halfway mark we were very confident with the run-chase and set a good platform at the start, but unfortunately lost some key wickets at crucial times.
"We need to step up and take responsibility; there were some good contributions at the top of the order but I think we can all hold our hands up and say we can do much better than that.
"Katherine Brunt led the attack well and everyone contributed with the ball, which was great. We would back ourselves to chase that total and everyone is very disappointed."
She added: "We will assess what went wrong but we will also take the positives; we bowled really well and we'll be looking to move on to Hove and perform much better there on Friday."
England Innings
5:43pm - AUSTRALIA WIN BY 27 RUNS! WICKET! Colvin b Jonassen 3; Eng 176 all out - Holly Colvin is bowled by Jonassen as Australia complete victory with 15 balls to spare. They go to four points in the series, two ahead of England albeit with 10 more available.
5:40pm - WICKET! Brunt st Fields b Coyte 3; Eng 173/9 - Katherine Brunt goes down the pitch but is beaten and Fields does the rest. Australia are on the brink of victory. England need 30 from three overs.
5:35pm - WICKET! Beaumont b Jonassen 9; Eng 170/8 - The right-hander attempts to sweep but is bowled round her legs by the impressive spinner, who takes her second wicket of the over and third in all.

I am by no means an expert on ferry crossings. Most of my experience in this area comes from childhood trips to France or Spain from the UK, and memories in this area are fairly vague, usually involving my olfactory sense.
The smell of fuel, the smell of old sick, the smell of the sea. Ferries have not, for a long time, been a mode of transport that I have seen through a romantic viewpoint, being about the destination, and not about the journey.
Recently however, my thoughts on ferry crossings have been radically overhauled, as a result of the journey I took between New Zealand's North and South islands, across the Cook Strait, from Wellington to Picton, a trip that clocks in at a little over three hours.
I should point out that circumstances were clearly conspiring to force me to enjoy the trip. Presumably the ferry gods of old were looking down on me and deciding to bless me with an unusually pleasant voyage.
So the weather, which is pretty much the make or break for a ferry trip, was incredibly good. There is a saying about mill ponds. I have never sailed on a mill pond, so I can't really know if the saying is accurate, but if a mill pond is a glass like environment where the thought of a wave is about as far from your mind as you can imagine – then this was the state of the sea on the day of our crossing. Nary a breath of wind was pushing through the air, and even the clouds had taken the day off, replaced by blue skies from horizon to horizon.
Our sailing was in the afternoon, onboard the Bluebridge ferry, which I have to say was also a rather convivial experience. A large passenger deck, equipped with incredibly comfortable reclining chairs, and even flat screen TV's showing a range of films. Not a bad option for passing a trip if the weather was poor – although in our case, the weather was so good that we spent much of the trip on the open air viewing deck on the top of the ship.
The Cook Strait itself is not that wide – the distance from North to South island is a mere 20km at it's narrowest point – so much of the time is spent winding through the incredibly picturesque Tory Channel and Queen Charlotte sound.
Here the ferry seems to pass impossibly close to the land as it meanders its way up the sound to the final destination of Picton. Houses dot the shoreline, mollusc farms are passed, and fishing boats ramble on past the hulking might of the ferry.
The Sound itself takes up at least 40% of the journey time, and is the sort of trip I would happily pay to go on as a scenic voyage, so having it included as part of my transport was rather handy.
If you don't have a vehicle, there are other ways to get from New Zealand's North island to it's South island. But if the weather is good, and you aren't in a hurry, then I can very much recommend the ferry option. It's not particularly expensive, and the experience is very much worth it. Two companies operate this route, Interislander and Bluebridge, and it's worth shopping around as prices fluctuate based on season and your requirements.

Reports of coyotes on Sullivan's Island prompted police to issue an advisory Saturday night urging residents to protect vulnerable pets and not leave food laying around outside.
"There have been several sightings of coyotes on the island recently," the police department said.
As a result, town staff will contact the state Department of Natural Resources to discuss how the situation should be handled, the advisory states.
"We'll see what DNR says," said Andy Benke, town manager.
Benke said the island has deer, raccoon and possum but he has not seen a coyote.
"They are so quick you don't know if it's a dog or a coyote," he said.
He said an island resident called police on Saturday to report the sighting of one or more coyotes.
An example of a vulnerable pet would be a small cat. Pet food and open garbage should not be left out, he said.
Fire and Rescue Chief Anthony Stith said he had not seen a coyote. Police Chief Danny Howard could not be contacted.
Last summer, coyotes were seen at Patriots Point and other spots in Mount Pleasant two years after 14 were trapped in response to attacks on dogs. The town put up signs at Memorial Waterfront Park advising that coyotes may be present.
Coyotes resemble German Shepherds but have a fox-like appearance. They have moved into every county in the state. Nearly 30,000 are trapped or shot by hunters annually, according to the DNR.

After six weeks of waiting out globe-engulfing dust storms, NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers have resumed driving across the planet's surface.
With the improved energy supplies, mission managers said Spirit and Opportunity are back on schedule to do science. During the storm, both rovers stood still and cut back normal communication to conserve energy.
"Weather and power conditions continue to improve, although very slowly for both rovers," said John Callas, project manager for the mission at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
Despite the energetic progress, the rovers aren't out of danger yet. Dust that was lifted into the air "could take months" to clear, said rover Project Scientist Bruce Banerdt. "There is a lot of very fine material suspended high in the atmosphere," Banerdt said, noting that the dust is accumulating on the rovers' energy-gathering solar panels.
Rover panoramic camera scientists said that the sun was nearly blotted out during the peak of the dust storm, as shown in an image released today. Although 99 percent of direct sunlight never made it to the rovers' solar panels, indirect sunlight glowing through the dust charged the rovers' batteries enough to warm and protect delicate circuits from snapping.
Scientific schedule
Now that the storm is clearing, rover scientists are eager to roll Opportunity inside the 2,400-foot-wide (730-meter-wide) Victoria Crater and scope out its inner slope.
"This is a magnificent crater with a lot of exposed bedrocks and walls showing geologic detail with extensive layering that makes the team geologist very happy," said Thanasis Economou, a senior scientist at Chicago's Enrico Fermi Institute. "What you can see is amazing."
Opportunity's descent was delayed when the dust storms began in mid-June. Mission managers, however, are still deciding when to continue the much-anticipated crater dive.
Meanwhile, Spirit's microscopic imager has been sprayed with dust from the storm to slightly reduce its image quality. The team is experimenting with ways to try dislodging dust on the lens and is planning to drive the rover onto a platform informally named "Home Plate."
Looking up
Both rovers will start a new atmosphere-monitoring project using their Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) instruments, which engineers initially designed to examine rocks and boulders on the surface. The APXS instruments will measure argon, which the orbiting Mars Odyssey spacecraft discovered is responsible for mixing the thin martian air between summer and winter.
Scientists hope the rover's finer measurements from the ground will reveal some climatological secrets of Mars.
"It gives you a way of inferring aspects of the Martian circulation that you can't observe at all with any other instrument that's out there," said Ray Pierrehumbert, a planetary geophysicist at the University of Chicago in Illinois.

Brief History and Timeline
Classes in civil engineering have been offered at MIT ever since the Institute opened in 1865, just after the Civil War. Since that time, the department's name and curriculum have changed several times in keeping with the evolving needs of humanity.
The course was first called Civil and Topographical Engineering and the focus was on surveying and building infrastructure: roads, railways, bridges, canals and drinking water systems. In 1889, Civil Engineering merged with Sanitary Engineering, and in 1892 the name of the department was changed to Civil and Sanitary Engineering. In 1934, the Building and Engineering Department was absorbed into Civil and Sanitary Engineering, and early in the 1960s, Sanitary Engineering was dropped from the department name. In 1992, the department was renamed the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, in recognition of the new combined discipline and its added emphasis on environmental chemistry and biology.
CEE Department Heads
Markus J. Buehler
A Timeline of CEE History
Twenty-first Century
2015: CEE at MIT has developed a new vision that focuses on "Big Engineering," which reflects our focus on systems with large-scale tangible and visible impact on people and sustainability.
2010: The Concrete Sustainability Hub is established to study cement at the nano and molecular levels with the goal of designing a "green" cement that will require lower CO2 emissions in manufacturing and be lighter and more durable.
2008: The Center for Environmental Sensing and Modeling (CENSAM), an international collaborative research program initially headed by Professor Andrew Whittle, is founded. Many researchers from CEE, other MIT departments, and universities in Singapore are developing environmental sensor networks to monitor air and water quality continually, pervasively around the globe.
2002: CEE and EAPS launch Terrascope as a project-based, team-oriented learning community for freshmen with coursework and research focused on a single environmental/Earth-systems problem each year.
2000: The first Traveling Research Environmental Experiences (TREX) trip is offered to Course 1 undergraduates during the January Independent Activities Period. Through TREX, students have gained hands-on fieldwork and research experience doing work in the Florida Everglades, Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, and Lake Pontchartrain, La., after Hurricane Katrina.
Twentieth Century
1995: Professor Moshe Ben-Akiva's MITSIMLab traffic modeling and simulation system is used to test and refine the real-time electronic monitoring and surveillance systems for Boston's Big Dig, setting off a transformation in the field of traffic management systems analysis and driving-behavior modeling.
1994: The Master of Engineering is established as a new model of graduate education. The nine-month, practice-oriented program prepares graduates to enter engineering practice in high-performance structures, water quality engineering or geotechnical engineering.
1992: Course I becomes the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and adds an undergraduate curriculum in Environmental Engineering Science.
1988: Professor Sallie (Penny) Chisholm and colleagues discover Prochlorococcus, the smallest and most abundant oxygen-producing organism on Earth. Chisholm developed this ocean microbe into a model system for environmental microbiology, and led the expansion of Parsons Laboratory research into that area.
1983: Professor Steven Lerman becomes the first director of Project Athena, a large-scale experiment to develop innovative educational uses for computers and graphics. Athena integrates personal computers, servers and printers into a single system and provides campus-wide email and other network-based services.
1982: Frederick Salvucci, the Massachusetts Secretary of Transportation, begins planning the Big Dig, a project to move Boston's Central Artery underground and extend I-90 to the airport. Salvucci is a Senior Lecturer at MIT 1979-82 and 1991 to present.
1976: Professor Jerome Connor is the first to apply finite element modeling to fluid circulation, in models of the Massachusetts Bay and Boston Harbor. These and later models by Senior Research Associate, Dr. Eric Adams, are used to design Boston's Deer Island wastewater outfall.
1973: Professor Francois Morel initiates efforts to understand cycling and impacts of metals in aquatic environments. His 1984 book, "Principles of Aquatic Chemistry," integrates fundamental chemistry principles into environmental quality studies.
1973: The MIT Center for Transportation Studies is established as an interdisciplinary research center with Professor Paul Roberts as its first director. In 1979 the Master of Science in Transportation program is offered.
1970: Professor Peter Eagleson's textbook, "Dynamic Hydrology," establishes hydrologic science as a geophysical science, ushering in a new era for the discipline.
1970: Hydrodynamics Laboratory adds two floors and is renamed the Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory. Research expands into the aquatic and environmental sciences under the leadership of Professors Arthur Ippen and Donald Harleman.
1969: Structures faculty members write an open source computer programming language for structural design called STRUDL, which continues to be modified and widely used today. STRUDL revolutionized the practice of structural engineering.
1968: Professor Allin Cornell writes a seminal paper on Earthquake Risk Analysis that lays the foundation for the entire field of risk and reliability in natural and man-made hazards. Research in this field is a mainstay of the department through the mid 1980s.
1966: Course I first offers 1.00 Information Systems, teaching computer approaches to engineering problems. It is immediately popular with undergraduates throughout MIT. In 1981, the name changes to Principles of Computer-Based Engineering Problem Solving.
1961: Professor Charles Miller develops COGO (Coordinate Geometry System), ushering civil engineering into the computer age by making it possible to write software to solve engineering problems using object-oriented language. Miller and others go on to develop ICES (Integrated Civil Engineering Systems) to integrate software packages.
1959: Led by Professor Robert Hansen, the Structures Faculty works with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to design bomb-resistant structures during the nuclear scare of the Cold War years. This work led to publication of the groundbreaking book, "Structural Design for Dynamic Loads."
1954: The Monsanto House of the Future, set in 1986, was designed and built by MIT architecture faculty with engineering by Professors Albert Dietz and Frank Heger and others in Civil Engineering's Plastics Lab.
1953: Building Engineering and Construction, Course XVII, becomes a division of Civil and Sanitary Engineering.
1950: A new Hydrodynamics Laboratory opens under the direction of Professor Arthur Ippen with the help of Professor James Daily. Both men are fluid mechanicians recruited from Caltech.
1946: The first research laboratory to study the fundamental properties of plastics as construction materials is established by Professor Albert Dietz of Building Engineering and Construction.
1942: Courses in surveying are expanded to meet the needs of the armed forces. Professors work on special war research projects. Civilian undergraduate enrollment plummets and the Sanitary Engineering undergraduate major is dropped.
1938: Professor Arthur Ruge invents an electronic strain gauge, the SR-4, for measuring the movement of a structure during earthquakes. A form of the sensor is still in use today.
1931: The country's first hydraulic model that recreates tidal motion is built in the River Hydraulic Laboratory to study means of slowing tidal currents in the Cape Cod Canal, overseen by Professor Kenneth Reynolds.
1929: Professor Thomas Camp develops an undergraduate curriculum for Sanitary Engineering. Camp leaves MIT in 1944, but his more than 100 scientific papers on water and sewage treatment are still widely referenced today.
1926: Building Construction is established as a course of study, possibly the first in the country, and is run by Professor R. F. Tucker. The course emerged from Economics and Engineering Administration.
1925: The country's first academic program in Soil Mechanics is established by Professor Karl von Terzaghi, Over the next 85 years and particularly in the 1970s under the leadership of Professor T. William Lambe, the Soil Mechanics Faculty receives many accolades, including election of 14 professors to the National Academy of Engineering.
1917: Curriculum is altered to speed up the technical training needed by the armed forces during World War I. An expanded summer camp session provides military training to sophomores in all majors.
1916: Civil and Sanitary Engineering moves to the Institute's new Cambridge campus.
1912: Alumni purchased land in East Machias, Maine, to create a permanent home for "Tech Camp," the Civil Engineering Survey Camp which ran annually through the summer of 1953. The summer sessions provided more than three generations of civil engineers with invaluable field experience. Between 1888 and 1912, CEE conducted summer surveying classes in different locations in the Boston area.
Nineteenth Century
1892: Course XI and Course I merge to become Civil and Sanitary Engineering. The Sanitary Engineering course of study was organized in 1889 at the urging of Professor William Thompson Sedgwick.
1889: The hydraulic tank is fully installed in the top floor of the Institute's new building at Trinity Place, Boston, the first step in creating the Hydraulic Laboratory.
1887: The Lawrence Experiment Station, the first wastewater treatment research plant in the U.S., is built in Massachusetts, based on work by Professor William Thompson Sedgwick, who carries out research at the plant.
1873: Civil Engineering switches with Mechanical Engineering to become Course I and drops Topographical from the name.
1872: Professor John Henck and 12 students explore and study many of the main bridges in the United States.
1865: The first classes are held on the Boston campus. Course II Civil and Topographical Engineering offers classes in mechanics, surveying, geodesy and structures.
1861: MIT's Charter is accepted by the state legislature just two days before the Civil War starts. The war causes a delay in plans for the Institute, but in 1864, the scope and plan of education is written with Civil and Topographical Engineering as Course II.

FALLUJAH, Iraq - Targeting Americans with new audacity, insurgents hiding in a date palm grove shot down a Chinook helicopter carrying dozens of soldiers heading for home leave Sunday, killing 16 and wounding 20 in the deadliest strike against U.S. forces since they invaded Iraq in March.
Witnesses said the attackers used missiles - a sign of the increasing sophistication of Iraq's elusive anti-U.S. fighters.
Three other Americans were killed in separate attacks Sunday, including one 1st Armored Division soldier in Baghdad and two U.S. civilians working for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Fallujah. All three were victims of roadside bombs, the military said.
Sunday's death toll was the highest for American troops since March 23 - the first week of the invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein - and the attack represented a major escalation in the campaign to drive the U.S.-led coalition out of the country.
The giant helicopter was ferrying the soldiers on their way for leave outside Iraq when two missiles streaked into the sky and slammed into the rear of the aircraft, witnesses told The Associated Press. It crashed in flames in farmers' fields west of Baghdad.
"It's clearly a tragic day for America," Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said in Washington. "In a long, hard war, we're going to have tragic days. But they're necessary. They're part of a war that's difficult and complicated."
Like past attacks on U.S. forces and a string of suicide bombings that killed dozens in Baghdad the past week, U.S. coalition officials blamed either Saddam loyalists or foreign fighters for the strike outside Fallujah, a center of Sunni Muslim resistance to the U.S. occupation.
President Bush, who was at his Texas ranch Sunday, refused to personally comment on the attacks. He spent the day out of public view - a "down" day between campaign appearances Saturday and Monday.
L. Paul Bremer, the head of the occupation in Iraq, repeated demands that Syria and Iran prevent fighters from crossing their borders into Iraq.

by Ogden Tanner
Tanner has produced a dazzling book that highlights gardens across America, from the intimate backyards of Boston's Beacon Hill to the wildflower fields of the Midwest to the cactus gardens of Arizona. It was not until the 1940s that postwar prosperity enabled middle-class Americans to buy their own homes—and plant gardens. At the time, landscape architects from the Harvard School of Design were developing the natural California Style using local topography and plants. After that, notes Tanner, "Gardens were no longer romantic pictures to stroll through or admire from living room windows, but places in which to live." (Viking, $40.00)
