From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Dennis Bushyhead (March 18, 1826 – February 4, 1898[1]) was the Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation. He served from 1879 to 1887.
Dennis Wolfe Bushyhead was born near Cleveland, Tennessee.[1] He was the oldest son of Rev. Jesse Bushyhead[1] and Miss Eliza Wilkinson, who was from Georgian and of partial Cherokee ancestry. He went to school in 1833 at Candy Creek Mission, Tennessee, under the charge of Rev. Holland. In 1835 he went to the Mission School at Valley River in North Carolina and remained there for one year, where he was taught by the noted Baptist minister and close associate of Jesse Bushyhead, Evan Jones. In 1838 his father Rev. Jesse Bushyhead conducted a detachment of Cherokee, numbering 1000 people from the old nation to Beattie's prairie in the Delaware District (Indian Territory), and Dennis was among the party. In the following year, he attended Mission School at Park Hill,[1] Cherokee Nation, under the charge of Rev. Samuel A. Worcester. He remained there for one year, after which, in 1841 he was sent to college in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. In March 1841 he joined Chief Ross' delegation to Washington to attend the inauguration of General Harrison as President of The United States. Bushyhead remained in New Jersey for three years, completing his education at Lawrenceville in July 1844. He enrolled in the sophomore class at Princeton University, but found it necessary to return home when his father died.[2]
Dennis went to work as a clerk for Lewis Ross, brother of Chief John Ross, in October 1844 and remained in that position until the summer of 1847. He was elected as clerk for the Cherokee Senate in October 1847, serving for one year.[2]
In November 1871 he was elected treasurer of the Cherokee nation and held the position for four years, and was reelected to the post in 1875.
In September 1879, Bushyhead married a Mrs. Scrimsher from Fort Gibson. They had four children: Jesse C., Eliza, Catherine and Dennis Jr. His wife may have died early, because in October 1883 he married Eloise P. Butler. The couple had two children: James Butler and Francis Taylor.[3]

ClassicFan Canada Show all reviews | It starts off strongly with lavender and quickly the dry wood appears with the tonka and powdery iris. The dry wood is dominant and has a slightly Terre DHermes quality to it but more spicy/amber and the wood scent is much like opening a wood drawer. I like it and it definitely deserves to be in the lavender pantheon. Its main character is to be like candy-blue lavender with wood and incense. The lavender really hangs in there despite the boldness of the other notes. The sillage and longevity are great and towards the dry down the incense is nicely sweet and balanced. This would be perfect for the winter. If you want more wood plus incense and less vanilla than this would be your choice over Caron pour un Homme and vice versa if you love vanilla. This is very well done. 23rd November, 2014 |
RUDOLFO512 United States Show all reviews | Gris Clair is a beautiful blast of Lavender. The initial spray is lavender and incense. In the dry down I can still smell the lavender but in a very soft way. It also leans towards woody notes. I can wear this in the daytime, in the heat and feel comfortable with it. 02nd October, 2014 |
Zosia Canada Show all reviews | Thanks so much ClaireV for your Gris comments. Your mention of "old electric bar heaters" suddenly brought back a childhood memory of using an old iron on my brothers' cotton shirts. That "hot iron" smell is the elusive element in this haunting creation. It is beautifully blended though and a joy to wear. 16th September, 2014 |
ClaireV Ireland Show all reviews | Gris Clair is one of those unusual scents in the Serge Lutens that is free of the dried fruits and syrup signature that haunts the line. In fact, it is so sparse and crystalline that one would be forgiven for checking the bottle twice just to be sure. 17th July, 2014 |
Zgb Croatia Show all reviews | Quite an ingenious lavender scent. 15th June, 2014 |
Way Off Scenter United States Show all reviews | Oh joy! A lavender scent that doesn't turn into stuffy-old-man soap! I love fresh lavender in the garden, but tend to steer away from lavender scents. Unless they have strong animalic components - like Jicky or Ungaro II - they become oppressively soapy on my skin. Not Gris Clair. 15th June, 2014 |

5 Best Cities If You're Looking for a Girlfriend
Third-best: Irving, Texas
This 213,000-population city outside Dallas gets the nod mostly because it's got lots of newly arrived singles.
Unmarried people who've lived in Irving for less than five years make up 15.6% of the city's total population, placing the community in the 88th percentile nationwide for that category.
Irving also ranks in the 87th percentile for its ratio of young single women to young single men, with 109 unmarried females under 35 for every 100 unmarried males of the same age. The Texas community likewise places in the 76th percentile for single young women as a proportion of total population. Irving ranks only in the 48th percentile for walkability, though, and the 65th percentile for disposable income among single women. The typical unmarried female there makes $32,266 a year and pays $1,208 in monthly rent, leaving $1,481 per month for dates and other bills.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
A successful takeoff by new Jets logo
Sober, sensible design presents serious face for Winnipeg
In a city obsessed with its image, it's a relief to see the new Winnipeg Jets logo bears no resemblance to a cartoon.
The air force-inspired insignia unveiled by True North Sports & Entertainment on Friday may not have been greeted with universal acclaim, but even fans who aren't enthused by the retro-modernist image -- a silver jet on a red maple leaf within a stylized roundel -- can agree it presents a serious face on a city that hasn't always puts its finest visage forward.
Whether cultural snobs care to admit it or not, the Winnipeg Jets are the city's only international calling card. In many corners of the planet, the only reason ordinary people have ever heard of this medium-sized city is the former presence of a major-league hockey team.
Almost any Winnipegger who's travelled over the past 15 years has had the slightly embarrassing experience of being quizzed by a cabbie in Key West or Krakow or Krasnoyarsk about the departure of the NHL in 1996 and the prospects of its return.
This does not mean Winnipeg is nothing without the NHL. We did just fine when the league was still busy trying to woo NASCAR fans and we would continue doing well without it.
The majority of us no longer require the validation of the rest of the country or the continent in order to feel good about ourselves -- and the minority that remains insecure is increasingly inconsequential.
But the fact remains, Winnipeg is neither a significant tourism destination nor a major economic power. It's been 106 years since we were North America's fastest-growing city and it's time to get over the fact the railway boom of the early 20th century has ended and the Panama Canal exists.
Many of the things we love about our hometown today -- the cultural amenities, the easy access to the lakes and wilderness, the local tendency to speak plainly but politely -- will never be appreciated elsewhere, especially as our tourism authorities abandon attempts to actually market Winnipeg in favour of chasing after convention business.
So what we're left with, in terms of our image elsewhere, are jokes about our climate, a growing awareness of our violent-crime problem and the Winnipeg Jets.
We could spin the jokes on their head by reclaiming the cold as something we celebrate. If tourists venture to Death Valley in the summer to experience the unearthly heat, they can come to Winnipeg in January for the bone-shattering cold.
I have nothing useful to say about the gang violence except for the obvious: We have a hell of a problem that can't be fixed by police alone.
Which leaves us with the Jets and their mercifully grown-up new logo.
When the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim entered the NHL in 1993, both the name of the Disney-owned team and its goofy, cartoonish logo sent a message that pro hockey's long and proud history could be sold out for the price of an expansion fee.
Happily, Disney eventually sold what are now the much classier Anaheim Ducks. A message was sent to the league: Hockey is a serious business that can be merchandised without cute critters and cheesy cartoons.
When True North acquired the Atlanta Thrashers, there was some concern Mark Chipman's crew would hold onto the Manitoba Moose name and its cute-critter logo. When True North announced the team would be called the Jets, there was more hand-wringing about whether the club would revive any of the old WHA or NHL Jets logos, including the soulless design from the early 1990s.
The new logo unveiled Friday is neither a cute critter nor an attempt to repackage the past. In design terms, the new crest strikes an excellent balance: The image of the jet is immediately identifiable, which is important for the sake of merchandising, but it's also sufficiently abstract, which is important for the brand in the long run.
The military provenance of the image -- it's inspired by the roundels on Canadian air force planes -- should not prove problematic, even to ardent pacifists. Few Canadian football fans think military thoughts about the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (which of course were not named after any aircraft; the nickname was inspired by boxer Joe Louis, the Brown Bomber).
True North's Chipman is correct when he says the new logo brings a little more meaning to the Winnipeg Jets name. This won't translate to any greater awareness of Winnipeg's connection to the military and aerospace industry outside of this city, but the thoughtfulness is admirable.
And the design itself sends a good message to people who will never visit Winnipeg: It's a sober-looking, understated image that is not trying too hard to get anyone to look at it.
If there's anything this self-conscious city so desperately needs, it's nice to have logo that possesses a somewhat timeless quality and won't become dated in five years.
And while we're celebrating a retro-modernist design that celebrates our connection to the air, it's a perfect time to consider saving our most impressive modernist aerospace institution of all: the 1964 terminal building at Richardson International Airport, which the Winnipeg Airports Authority plan to demolish.
If we can celebrate our heritage in a logo, we can preserve our actual heritage. But that's another column for another day.

About Bartley Kives
Bartley Kives wants you to know his last name rhymes with Beavis, as in Beavis and Butthead. He aspires to match the wit, grace and intelligence of the 1990s cartoon series.
Bartley joined the Free Press in 1998 as a music critic. He spent the ensuing 7.5 years interviewing the likes of Neil Young and David Bowie and trying to stay out of trouble at the Winnipeg Folk Festival before deciding it was far more exciting to sit through zoning-variance appeals at city hall.
In 2006, Bartley followed Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz from the music business into civic politics. He spent seven years covering city hall from a windowless basement office.
He is now reporter-at-large for the Free Press and also writes an outdoor-recreation column called Offroad for the Outdoors page.
A canoeist, backpacker and food geek, Bartley is fond of conventional and wilderness travel. He is the author of A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba: Exploring Canada's Undiscovered Province, the only comprehensive travel guidebook for Manitoba – and a Canadian bestseller, to boot. He is also co-author of Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg, a collaboration with photographer Bryan Scott and the winner of the 2014 Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award.
Bartley's work has also appeared on CBC Radio and Citytv as well as in publications such as The Guardian, explore magazine and National Geographic Traveler. He sits on the board of PEN Canada, which promotes freedom of expression.
Born in Winnipeg, he has an arts degree from the University of Winnipeg and a master's degree in journalism from Ottawa's Carleton University. He is the proud owner of a blender.

Research Paper: Evaluating Clinical Decision Support Systems: Monitoring CPOE Order Check Override Rates in the Department of Veterans Affairs' Computerized Patient Record System.
Source: DBLP
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Hospitals and clinics are adapting to new technologies and implementing electronic health records, but the efforts need to be aligned explicitly with goals for patient safety. EHRs bring the risks of both technical failures and inappropriate use, but they can also help to monitor and improve patient safety. http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsb1205420New England Journal of Medicine 11/2012; 367(19):1854-60. · 54.42 Impact Factor -
Article: Cognitive analysis of decision support for antibiotic ordering in a neonatal intensive care unit.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are a method used to support prescribing accuracy when deployed within a computerized provider order entry system (CPOE). Divergence from using CDSS is exemplified by high alert override rates. Excessive cognitive load imposed by the CDSS may help to explain such high rates. The aim of this study was to describe the cognitive impact of a CPOE-integrated CDSS by categorizing system use problems according to the type of mental processing required to resolve them. A qualitative, descriptive design was used employing two methods; a cognitive walkthrough and a think-aloud protocol. Data analysis was guided by Norman's Theory of Action and a theory of cognitive distances which is an extension to Norman's theory. The most frequently occurring source of excess cognitive effort was poor information timing. Information presented by the CDSS was often presented after clinicians required the information for decision making. Additional sources of effort included use of language that was not clear to the user, vague icons, and lack of cues to guide users through tasks. Lack of coordination between clinician's task-related thought processes and those presented by a CDSS results in excessive cognitive work required to use the system. This can lead to alert overrides and user errors. Close attention to user's cognitive processes as they carry out clinical tasks prior to CDSS development may provide key information for system design that supports clinical tasks and reduces cognitive effort.Applied Clinical Informatics 01/2012; 3(1):105-23. · 0.39 Impact Factor

Japanese Maid Footjob
Shelby Paige Foot Job
What can we say about the best boss in the world, the sexy Shelby Paige? She's hot, smart, witty, appreciative. Quite appreciative, which you'll learn watching this Foot Job Addict clip. Most offices still give Employee of the Month awards to deserving workers, including Shelby. Instead of giving a trophy or a gift card, she gives a foot job. You heard right. Whenever she announces Employee of the Month, they can expect the best foot job they'll ever get. No wonder why the guys are working so hard. She calls the lucky guy into her office and gets to work. She lies him down and pulls off his pants. She's glad to see his cock is already hard. Wouldn't you be with such a hot boss ready to stroke your dick with her sexy petite feet? Guess what. She's wearing a pair of silky tight pantyhose just for the occasion. She wraps her smooth feet around his cock and strokes it slowly, enjoying the feel of a stiff piece of meat between her arches. She loves rubbing them between her toes, ripping her pantyhose to give a barefoot rub. She wants his cum so bad. She wants it all over her face, hoping he has a big load waiting for her. So she jerks his cock faster, pumping for the hot steamy wad. Will she get what she wants? You have to watch.

Cancer patients usually take many medications. The proportion of patients with advanced cancer who are taking futile drugs is unknown.
Materials and methods
We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all consecutive ambulatory patients with advanced cancer and who were receiving supportive care exclusively at palliative care clinics, Princess Margaret Hospital, to gather information on futile medications used by them. Futile medications were defined as unnecessary (when no short-term benefit to patients with respect to survival, quality of life, or symptom control was anticipated) or duplicate (two or more drugs from the same pharmacological class). Summary statistics were used to describe the results.
From November 2005 to July 2006, 82 (22%) of 372 patients were taking at least one futile medication before consultation; after initial consultation, this proportion dropped to 20% (78): 70 patients were taking unnecessary medications, while eight were on duplicate medications. The most frequent unnecessary medications used by patients were statins (56%). The most common duplicate medication involved the use of two different benzodiazepines (seven patients).
About one fifth of cancer outpatients at the end of life take futile medications, most commonly statins. Prospective and population-based studies are warranted to further evaluate the magnitude and consequences of futile medication use in oncology.

Rio de Janeiro
Capital City of South America
Though Rio isn't actually the capital city of Brazil, it is the heart of the country and one of the most dynamic, exciting and fun cities to visit in all of Latin America.
Known for being a city of natural beauty, excellent beaches and filled with people who love to have fun, Rio de Janeiro has more than enough to offer for plenty of different visits.
Easily reached through the Galeão-Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport, Rio also has a well established public transport system that feature both Metro and bus service.
Beaches and Nature Provide Plenty of Activities
With a thriving population of over six million residents Rio gives visitors a number of different activities to choose from. For those who love nature and adventure sports, Rio has incredible beaches, that offers windsurfing and paddleboarding at the famous Copacabana Beach and Ipanema Beach.
Beyond the beaches, there is vast amounts of natural beauty in and around the neighborhoods surrounding Rio de Janeiro. For the best spot to have a clear view of everything Rio has to showcase its visitors, head to Sugarloaf Mountain known as Pão de Açucar. From here, all of Rio can be seen stretching from mountains to beach to ocean and it provides a fantastic view of the other famous monolith in the city, the Christ the Redeemer statue.
Soccer is the Biggest Passion
What might be the true love of most Brazilians is soccer, or futbol. Consistently some of the very best players in the world are from Brazil and many from Rio. To truly get a unique experience, head to a match between one of the cities best teams Vasco or Botafogo.
The futbol season runs throughout the year, so there is usually a match playing to give visitors even just a taste of the match experience. And, with the upcoming Summer Olympics and World Cup coming to Brazil, there is going to be plenty of activity in the nation's stadiums, many of which can hold over 100,000 people.

text: Dec 7, 2012 09:59 U.S. attorney resigns U.S. attorney resigns Associated Press photo by Gerald Herbert -- Jim Letten, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District, announces his resignation during a news conference Thursday in New Orlean. At left is his wife, JoAnn. Letten said his resignation is effective Dec. 11 and that he plans to stay on with the department briefly to help with the transition in leadership. Jim Letten loses favor amid probe MICHAEL KUNZELMAN and KEVIN MCGILL| Associated Press Dec. 07, 2012 Comments NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans' corruption-busting federal prosecutor resigned Thursday after two top deputies became embroiled in a scandal that threatens to undermine some of his biggest cases and damaged his standing as one of the most popular public officials in a city with a rich history of graft. U.S. Attorney Jim Letten, whose successful prosecution of a former Louisiana governor and numerous other officials won him bipartisan praise for more than a decade, had been under mounting pressure ever since two veteran prosecutors admitted anonymously posting criticism of judges and comments about cases on a newspaper website. At a news conference, Letten, 59, gave no reason for his resignation but said the decision "was ultimately mine." He did not address the allegations against his underlings. But he previously said he had no idea what they were up to until their online activities were revealed in court filings. Until recently, Letten, a Republican-appointed holdover who has held the post since 2001, appeared to be a lock to keep his job during President Barack Obama's second term. Instead, his departure ends his tenure as the nation's longest-serving U.S. attorney. Letten won fame as an assistant U.S. attorney when he secured a racketeering conviction of former Gov. Edwin Edwards in 2000. His office also successfully prosecuted corrupt judges, killer police officers, bribe-taking school officials and post-Katrina scam artists. "The public perception of Jim Letten really transcended the position of United States attorney," said Rafael Goyeneche, director of the Metropolitan Crime Commission of New Orleans, a watchdog group. "In many respects, he is the public face of what the people of Louisiana want to change about the pre-Katrina ways of doing business in Louisiana." Dana Boente, a first assistant U.S. attorney in Virginia, was appointed to Letten's post in the interim. Letten's downfall was set in motion when one of his prosecutors, Sal Perricone, resigned in March after acknowledging he criticized judges and politicians and commented on cases in anonymous posts on The Times-Picayune's website. Among other things, Perricone described a federal judge in New Orleans as someone who "loves killers," and charged that "Obama and his West Wing band of Bolsheviks have a master design to strangle America's economy." Then, last month, Letten demoted his top assistant, Jan Mann, after she, too, confessed to posting anonymous comments on the site. The Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility is investigating the postings, which defense attorneys have cited as evidence the prosecutors improperly tried to influence cases. The authors of the posts were unmasked in court filings by attorneys for New Orleans businessman Fred Heebe, whose landfill operations are under federal investigation. Heebe had been nominated by then-President George W. Bush for U.S. attorney in 2001 but withdrew amid allegations he had abused an ex-girlfriend and his ex-wife. He denied the allegations. Letten wound up with the job instead. Letten is stepping down at a time when his office is ramping up an investigation of former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin's administration. The probe has resulted in guilty pleas by two businessmen who said they bribed an unidentified city official. The misconduct allegations have provided ammunition for defense attorneys to challenge other high-profile prosecutions, including the conviction of five former New Orleans police officers on federal civil rights violations over a deadly shooting on a bridge after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Defense attorneys in the so-called Danziger Bridge case have asked for a new trial, arguing that the online posts and other media leaks were part of a campaign to smear the officers and possibly influence potential jurors. Edwards, the roguish, wisecracking former governor who was convicted of taking payoffs in return for casino licenses, reacted to Letten's downfall by alluding to the old adage about watching the bodies of one's enemies come floating down the river. "Sit by the river long enough," he told WAFB-TV in Baton Rouge. "I did." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Brandt Snedeker leads by 1 stroke
OAKVILLE, Ontario -- Brandt Snedeker was on seventh tee when he noticed something wasn't quite right.
He couldn't find Hunter Mahan's name at the top of the Canadian Open leaderboard.

Oboro is a ninja of the Hidden Rain village, and is on the same team as Mubi and Kagari. His team fights using mainly genjutsu and clones to hide themselves so that he and his teammates can attack their enemy where they least expect it. They can also change mist clones into solid water clones without being noticed so that they can attack with many clones using taijutsu instead of genjutsu to inflict physical damage instead of illusory damage. To the enemy the clones will still look the same. But if they attack a clone, unlike a mist clone, it will become a puddle of water when hit.
Oboro and his team fought in the chuunin exam's second examination round in the forest of death and were beat by Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Kabuto. Soon after the chuunin exams the team was hired along with Aoi to make sure that the ceremonial runner of the Land of Tea does not win the ceremonial race. They managed to trap Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura underwater and almost drowned them. They almost succeeded in their mission, but Naruto managed to free himself and his squad and beat Kagari, Mubi, and Oboro once again.

Inspired Tape Wall Illusion, Indoors or Out
(fos), a multidisciplinary team of interior designers and art directors based in Madrid and Barcelona, applies their creative talents to all kinds of projects, including this ephemeral façade on a Madrid restaurant. They used yellow tape to create the illusion of a beam of light.
Applied outdoors, this idea is ephemeral because the elements will degrade the tape. We see it as a wonderful idea to apply indoors.
…We're thinking masking tape would be the best, impermanent bet, unless you're sure you want to live with it. Googling "yellow masking tape" yields a trove of hues. Japanese washi tape offers lots of possibilities.

Home Prices Rise 4.4% in June
(Home prices article updated with homebuilder stock movement and additional commentary.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stocks in the homebuilder sector moved higher Tuesday morning after a better-than-expected report from the S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city index of national home prices.
The index rose 4.4% in the second quarter, after a 2.8% drop in the first quarter. Economists had expected the index to rise just 3.1%, after
rising 4.6% in May. A
federal tax credit for homebuyers of up to $8,000 is largely credited with strengthening home sales this past spring as buyers rushed to push up their purchases before the credits expired April 30.
Homebuilder stocks fell at the opening bell but moved higher thirty minutes into trading. The SPDR S&P Homebuilders (XHB) and iShares Dow Jones US Home Construction (ITB), exchange-traded funds that tracks stocks in the homebuilder sector, rose 0.7% and 0.6%, respectively. Shares of NVR (NVR) and Lennar (LEN), among the XHB's top holdings, were 0.1% lower and 1.4% higher, respectively. Fellow builders D.R. Horton (DHI - Get Report), KB Home (KBH - Get Report), Ryland (RYL) and Meritage Homes (MTH) were all higher as well. Beazer Homes (BZH - Get Report) and Standard Pacific (SPF - Get Report) led the group in terms of share price gains, each rising 2.3%. Comstock Homebuilding (CHCI - Get Report) bucked the trend, falling 1.4%.
The index of national home prices rose 0.3% month-over-month on a seasonally adjusted basis, better than the 0.2% increase expected, but slower than the 0.5% rise in May. Seventeen of the 20 cities measured in the index showed an increase in home prices, though a bulk of the uptick resulted from the pull-forward effect of the tax credits. The S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city index is a moving three-month average, so data for June was swayed by data from April and May. Home prices were up 6% nationwide since the April 2009 bottom, but remain 28% lower than their peak in July 2006. A lack of confidence among U.S. consumers will keep home prices from building back up to prerecession levels anytime soon, said David Blitzer, S&P's managing director and index committee chair, in an appearance on CNBC. He added that the ratio of home prices to income has gotten back to longer-term trends, suggesting home prices may not go up soon but will likely not go a lot lower either. "The worry starts when you remember that the Homebuyers' Tax Credit has expired, foreclosures are still at high levels, and July data on home sales and starts were very, very weak," Blitzer said. The housing sector continues to be under tremendous pressure, and recent economic data indicated a long road ahead before the situation materially improves.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Description The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for producing an ordered array of nanoparticles on a substrate surface and to a nanomaterial having such an ordered array of nanoparticles. Particularly, but not exclusively, the invention relates to the provision of an ordered array of magnetic nanocrystals on a substrate surface. Although the present invention is not limited to the production of a magnetic array, one important object of the present invention is the production of a material suitable for use as an ultra high density magnetic data storage medium. According to the present invention there is provided a method of producing a structure comprising a plurality of nanoparticles distributed across a surface of a substrate in a predetermined array, the method comprising the steps of: i) providing a substrate which has a passivated surface; ii) depositing nanoparticles on to said surface; and iii) displacing said particles over said surface to configure them in said predetermined array. The concept of a passivated surface is well known to those in the art. Essentially a passivated surface is one which has substantially no dangling bonds and thus will not form a bond with the nanoparticles deposited on the surface. Although there may still be van dea waal forces between the particles and the surface these will be insignificantly weak. The substrate may be a passive material or may be a non-passive material in which case step (i) includes a preliminary step of passivating said surface. Passivating surfaces is a well known procedure. Essentially, it comprises coating the surface with atoms which take up the available dangling bonds. Said passivating step may comprise covering said surface with atoms of an element such as hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine or oxygen. Monovalent elements are preferred. Preferably said nanoparticles are passivated. This prevents nanoparticles bonding to one another on the surface. Preferably said nanoparticles are passivated by passing them through a chamber containing gaseous atoms of a suitable passivating element such that said nanoparticles are coated with said passivating atoms prior to being deposited on said surface. Gases of monovalent atoms are preferred, particularly hydrogen although other atoms, such as oxygen, may be used. Alternatively the nanoparticles may be passivated by covering them with a passivating element after they are deposited on said surface prior to, or during, the displacing step (iii). Preferably said substrate surface is provided with an array of predefined regions corresponding to said predetermined array and said step (iii) comprises displacing the nanoparticles so that they move into and are retained within said regions. For instance the regions may be physical features such as pits or holes sized to receive and retain said nanoparticles. Alternatively the regions may be non-passivated regions which chemically bond to said nanoparticles. Various methods suitable for displacing the nanoparticles into said regions are described further below. Alternatively said displacing step (iii) comprises establishing a standing laser wave, or an array of standing waves, using a laser so as to produce low energy nodes at locations corresponding to said predetermined array, whereby said nanoparticles are displaced into regions of said surface coincident with said low energy nodes thereby adopting a configuration corresponding to said predetermined array. Methods according to the present invention are particularly suited to the production of a structure comprising an array magnetic nanoparticles, such as clusters of ferromagnetic atoms (for example cobalt atoms), in a non-magnetic matrix. Such materials can be used as the basis of a ultra high density storage media. Other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description and the appended claims. Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a material according to the present invention; FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of an apparatus for producing the material of FIG. 1 in accordance with the present invention; and FIG. 3 is a photograph of a material which may be produced by the method and apparatus of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, this illustrates a nanomaterial in accordance with the present invention comprising an ordered array of magnetic nanocrystals, i.e. clusters of cobalt ions 1, in a non-magnetic copper matrix 2 on a silicon oxide substrate 3. The cobalt clusters 1 are all regularly shaped (i.e. substantially spherical) and of a consistent selected size. Typically the selected size might be between 1 and 15 nm although for magnetic material designed for use at room temperatures the superparamagnetic limit imposes a practical limitation on the minimum size of the cobalt clusters of around 7-10 nm. The cobalt clusters have a regular spacing of the order of 20 nm. This material is thus suitable for use as a ultra high density magnetic data storage medium, each cobalt cluster being substantially magnetically de-coupled from its neighbors and capable of storing a single bit of digital information. With the material of the present invention a storage density of the order of 1 Terrabit per square inch is theoretically obtainable. One example of an apparatus for producing the ordered magnetic array of FIG. 1 will now be described with reference to FIG. 2. In overview, the apparatus of FIG. 2 comprises a means for producing cobalt clusters 4, a mass selector and steerer 5, an in-flight passivator 6, an aperture plate 7 supporting a sample substrate 8, and a �time of flight� measurement system 9. Other elements of the apparatus which are not illustrated will be described further below. In accordance with the present invention the substrate must have a passivated surface. Thus, the substrate must either be fabricated from an inherently passive material, such as silicon oxide as in the present case, or must have its surface treated to passivate it. For instance, the surface of a silicon substrate could be passivated by spraying hydrogen atoms onto it in accordance with conventional semi-conductor fabrication techniques. In addition, in accordance with the particular example of the invention to be described, the surface must be provided with an array of pits or holes corresponding to the desired array of magnetic particles. Thus, in this example, the surface must be etched with a regular array conforming to the pattern illustrated in FIG. 1. The pits must be dimensioned appropriately to receive the selected cobalt cluster size in a manner described further below. For instance, for cobalt clusters of the order of 10 nm the appropriate pit dimensions would be a diameter of the order of 5 nm and the depth of the order of 1-3 nm. Given the small size of the pits, and also the close spacing of the pits required to produce the dense array, the preferred method of etching the pits is electron beam nanolithography. This is a known technique and so will not be described further. The means for producing cobalt clusters 4 (i.e. the magnetic nanocrystals) comprises a magnetron 10 housed within a liquid nitrogen cooled chamber 11 which is itself housed within a second, larger, chamber 12. The chamber 12 supports at one end a skimmer 13 with a funnelled opening 13 a and is connected to a vacuum pump (not shown) via port 14. With the exception of the opening 13 a, the chamber 12 is sealed so that a reduced pressure may be maintained within the chambers 12 and 11 by operation of the vacuum pump. Within the magnetron 10 is a cathode plate bearing cobalt (not shown) surrounded by suitably located anodes (not shown). An electric field is established between the cathode plate and the anodes, and a magnet (not shown) is positioned behind the cathode plate to produce a magnetic field in front of the plate. Helium is supplied to the chamber 11 via inlet 15 and is maintained at a pressure of the order of 1τ by the vacuum pump. Low pressure argon gas is introduced into the magnetron 10 in a continuous stream 16 and is ionised by the electric field established between the cobalt bearing cathode plate and the anodes. Electrons which are separated from the argon atoms strike the cathode plate thereby liberating cobalt atoms. Within the cooled chamber 11 the cobalt atoms have a limited mobility due to the presence of the gaseous helium atoms and thus tend to drift and stick together by a process of gas aggregation thereby forming various sized clusters or nanocrystals. These cobalt clusters pass from the cooled chamber 11 into the chamber 12 in a stream of helium and argon. Within the chamber 12 the helium rapidly expands and is skimmed off by the skimmer 13 leaving the cobalt clusters to be ejected through the skimmer aperture 13 a in a supersonic jet of argon 17. The jet 17 is directed toward the steerer 5 and time of flight measurement system 9 a such that with the steerer inoperative the cobalt clusters will travel to the time of flight and energy measurement system 9 via an aperture 17 in the aperture plate 7. The time of flight measurement system 9 essentially comprises an electrostatic energy selector 18 and a cobalt cluster detector 19. The time of flight measurement system 9 is a conventional system for determining the mass verses energy distribution of the cobalt clusters and thus further details of operation of this system will not be described here. Periodic measurements made by the time of flight measurement system 9 are used to control operation of the mass selector and steerer 5 which in this example is a simple electrostatic stearer comprising two electrostatic plates 20. When a voltage is applied across the plates 20 negatively charged cobalt clusters (which represent about 30% of the clusters produced by the magnetron 10) will be deflected through an angle depending upon their mass and energy. The voltage across the plates can be carefully controlled (as a result of the measurements periodically made at the time of flight measurement system 9 by pulsing off the voltage applied across the electrostatic plates) to steer clusters of a selected mass towards the sample substrate 8 positioned behind an aperture 21 in the aperture plate 7. By careful control only clusters within a few percent of the selected size will be directed towards the sample substrate 8. Before reaching the substrate surface, the deflected cobalt clusters first pass through the line of flight passivator 6 and are then decelerated by a retarding electric field produced in the region of the sample surface by appropriate means (not shown). The passivator 6 essentially comprises a tube containing atomised hydrogen at a pressure of around 1τ. The atomised hydrogen is extremely reactive and thus bonds to the surface of the cobalt nanocrystals as they pass through the passivator 6 effectively occupying the sites of any �dangling bonds� on the cluster surface. The hydrogen thus coats and thereby passivates the surface of the clusters. Hydrogen is used as a passivating material because it is both sufficiently reactive and is also relatively easy to produce for instance by heating a tungsten filament. It will, however, be appreciated that other elements, such as oxygen, could equally be used. On leaving the passivator 6, the cobalt clusters loose energy (a factor of 10 reduction in energy is appropriate) in the retarding electric field and are thus �soft� landed on the substrate surface which prevents both the clusters and surface from damage. When the cobalt clusters are first deposited on the substrate surface they will assume a random array, some of the clusters falling within the pre-etched pits on the substrate surface, but the majority lying of the surface between those pits. However, because the surface is passivated clusters will not bond to the surface and thus clusters other than those which happen to fall within pits will be free to move across the substrate surface. Furthermore, passivation of individual cobalt clusters prevents individual clusters drifting towards and bonding with one another. Thus, in accordance with the next stage of the method according to the present invention the clusters may be moved over the substrate surface and into the pre-etched pits to form an ordered array. A variety of different techniques can be used to move the cobalt clusters and no one particular technique is illustrated in FIG. 2. For instance, according to one preferred technique, a laser may be used to brush cobalt clusters across the substrate surface. That is, a suitable laser may be swept across the surface and controlled to produce a radiation pressure which is sufficient to brush cobalt clusters into the pits but not to dislodge cobalt clusters located within the pits. As an alternative, the substrate and clusters could simply be heated so that the clusters become thermally agitated causing them to randomly migrate across the substrate surface so that they fall into the pits provided on the surface. The heating can be controlled so that individual clusters do not have sufficient thermal energy to escape the pits. A further alternative applicable in the present example in which the nanocrystals are clusters of a magnetic material, is to use a magnetic field to sweep the cobalt clusters across the surface, again controlling the field to produce a force sufficient to brush cobalt clusters into the pits but not to dislodge cobalt clusters from the pits. Whatever the displacing technique used, the result is that the cobalt clusters are moved into, and thus physically pinned within, the array of pits etched on the substrate surface thus forming a corresponding ordered array. As a final stage in the production of the material of FIG. 1, a layer of non-magnetic metal, in this case copper, is deposited on the surface which both fixes the clusters in position. The copper film may be deposited by any conventional process such as atomic deposition from a second magnetron or by chemical vapour deposition. The result is the new material which is illustrated in FIG. 1. It will be appreciated that the final array is determined by the pattern originally etched into the substrate surface and that arrays quite different from that illustrated can be configured. It will also be appreciated that whereas the above example of the invention exemplifies the use of the invention in producing a material suitably for use as a magnetic storage medium, alternative materials could be used for the substrate, the deposited nanocrystals and also any additional material which is deposited over the nanocrystals to fix them in place. For instance, the substrate could be a conducting, semi-conducting or insulating substrate of any material providing that the surface of the substrate can be passivated if it is not inherently passive. The nanocrystals can be of any appropriate substance, for instance a metal such as clusters of copper atoms may be used. The material deposited over the nanocrystals to fix them in position need not be a metal but could be any appropriate substance depending upon the intended application of the material. It is also conceivable that in some applications it will not be necessary to apply an additional layer to fix the nanocrystals in place. The methods mentioned above for displacing the nanocrystals to form the ordered array are examples only and other methods may be envisaged. The particular method used may be determined as appropriate for the materials used for the substrate and nanocrystals. For instance, a magnetic brush could not be used in instances where the nanocrystals are non-magnetic. Various modifications can be made to the apparatus and method described above in relation to FIG. 2. For instance, an alternative form of mass selector may be used, such as a quadrapole. If a quadrapole is used it may for instance be situated between the skimmer 13 and the steerer plates 20 which in such an arrangement will be required only to steer the clusters and will not perform any mass selection. Accordingly, it may be possible to dispense with the time of flight measurement system 9, although it is preferable to maintain this system to monitor the cluster production and to calibrate the quadrapole. Details of a quadrapole are well known in the art (for instance as used in mass spectrometers) and will not be described here. Similarly, other forms of mass or energy selector which could be used will be evident to the skilled person. As a further modification the in-flight passivator could be replaced by apparatus for passivating the clusters as they arrive at the substrate surface. For instance, an appropriate passivating material, such as hydrogen atoms, could be sprayed onto the surface as the clusters are deposited using known semi-conductor techniques. Moreover, for some applications it may not be necessary to passivate the clusters at all. However if the clusters are not passivated they may tend to drift together and form groups or strings as mentioned above. For instance, FIG. 3 illustrates mass selected clusters of cobalt deposited on a passive substrate surface (in this case carbon) without themselves being passivated. As is evident from the photograph, although the individual clusters are regularly sized and shaped many drift together forming strings. The formation of such strings would not be acceptable when attempting to produce the ordered array shown in FIG. 1 but for other structures it may be acceptable. Where a high degree of order is required as for the material of FIG. 1 the in-flight passivator is preferred to any surface passivation to prevent the possibility of clusters drifting together before they are passivated. The magnetron device used to produce the cobalt clusters is the preferred method according to the present invention but the invention may be used to produce an ordered array of nanocrystals produced by any appropriate means. In the examples of the invention described above, ordering of the nanocrystals into the desired array is achieved by displacing the nanocrystals once they have been deposited on the surface so that they fall into a pre-etched array of pits defined on the surface. As an alternative to physical pits or holes a substrate surface could be provided with an array of non-passivated regions corresponding to the desired array of nanoparticles. This will enable the nanoparticles, particularly in instances where the nanoparticles are not themselves passivated, to bond to the surface is desired positions. A further alternative contemplated by the present invention is to use a standing wave generated by a coherent laser to order the nanocrystals. Standing waves have been used to produce three dimensional arrays of proteins in space for protein crystolography. Particles within the array migrate to the low energy nodes of the standing waves and thus by controlling the wavelength and orientation of the standing waves a particular desired ordered array can be achieved. The same principle can be used to produce a two dimensional standing wave pattern across a substrate in accordance with the present invention. In this instance, the nanocrystals will migrate to the low energy nodes across the surface of the substrate. One potential disadvantage of this method is that the spacing of the nanocrystals is dependent upon the positioning of the low energy nodes which is dependent upon the wavelength of the laser. This imposes a practical limitation on the minimum spacing that can be achieved which, for instance, will be too large to be of practical use in a memory storage device but may well have applications elsewhere. Other possible modifications of the above apparatus, and applications of the present invention, will be readily apparent to the appropriately skilled person. For instance, a structure comprising multiple layers of material as illustrated in FIG. 1 may be expected to have unusual electron transport properties. Patent Citations
