Longitude 125 41' 1.45 W Latitude 49 8'20.35 N and a dozen year
Longitude 125 41' 1.45 W Latitude 49 8' 20.35 N Koko e, using Google Earth (Free version), one can readily discern a white polygon, midori naka. Mitte, kudasai. And the lovely part is I have many pictures taken, and writings writ, of the many, conspirators culminating in a performance document of earthen gown. Ground grown. Said polygon is really a fat triangle. A physical entity, comprised of one heavy gauge (20 mil) white vinyl tarp placed in 1995. It was then fastened with nails and batten to 30 foot logs salvaged by we four, and twenty, from clearcut activity made in the late 1970's, the wall of scrubby oldgrowth 70 metres away, 12 year and 10,000 feet above us. The triangle, which appears as a pseudo pentagram really hexagon, served to shelter us and provide a 400 square foot open area beneath. Created with existing materials gathered from the adjacent river and surrounding 600 acre Mineral's Claim site, a wood-fire kiln, to excruciate the earth's urge to soil become, lest we overtake her with such graphic novel. In the kiln was fired clay, exhumed from the site to make approximately 50 earthenware shingles fashioned with 2 holes each that they may be bound together with cedar bark, also gathered ceremoniously from the site, to construct a costume. Girdle, shoulder protection and helmet worn in a performance depicting my relationship with the site at that edge of the clearcut in July of 1996 at the Nanaimo Art Gallery. (One may note the edge of the old growth frontier 70 meters SSE of the Polygon.) Aside: In late August of 1996 I went to Japan to work in construction for a month. The weekend before leaving from Vancouver I visited the site and finished my corporeal relationship with the kiln the remaining shelter. As planned, at the beginning of October I returned to Canada to continue work on another arts project I'd begun at the close of the kiln site. I remember waking early on the plane after a few hours sleep, some 10, 000 feet up. Looking out the window I was happy to see we were approaching land. Alaska? No. Looking straight down, we followed the coastline. But where were we? Following the shore I could see half the entire island and also mid. Clearly I discerned the body of land below us was indeed Vancouver Island. I wondered. Hey, where's Tofino? My heart quickened as I drew out the recognized shoreline, just as it appears now and from a relatively shortened arc, on Google Earth. And yes, there it was. I could see clearly the white triangle you too may now see at the coordinates. We flew directly over it and craning my neck to look directly under the plane askance I ran the length of the plane to find a witness. Photos to follow. I really have em. Pictures of us building the shelter. I guess I'll blog em. Hope others may enjoy my recollecting. It was SO COOL to zoom in on the white mark this evening. In the middle of the regenerating clearcut, a dozen years since I last saw it. Chaptered P!^VP

Between Eclipses A razor cuts my wrists but what cut you off from me? Who cut our hearts in half? When an azure sky separates the marrow-gray clouds from the gristle of your day, what of that necessary blood motion will you have left? Who splits eclipses in half? When the moon and the Sun bring down these separations, which Earth will you save, which elements recycle? Whose house can you find? As Earth intercedes for me, my lunacy portends again, oh la la and not without scars. .

Physics News Update 815 (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2007 11:10:19 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Physics News Update 815 PHYSICS NEWS UPDATE The American Institute of Physics Bulletin of Physics News Number 815 March 16, 2007 by Phillip F. Schewe, Ben Stein www.aip.org/pnu PHYSICS AND PROGRESS. Why do science? To learn more about the universe and to improve the material and intellectual conditions of people. The recently concluded APS March meeting was a great arena for showcasing new fundamental ideas in physics and also for seeing how these ideas can be marshaled for producing practical commercial benefits. Here are three examples: 1. Metamaterials. The architecture of these artificial nanoscale-engineered materials made of tiny ring-, strip-, and rod-shaped components serves to enhance the magnetic interaction between light and matter. This results in the material having a negative index of refraction and consequentially various novel optical properties. One practical goal of negative-index optical research is superlensing, a process in which a thin flat panel of the metamaterial would be able to image an object at a spatial resolution better than the wavelength of the illuminating light. Since metamaterials were first realized in the lab for microwave light, physicists have been pushing negative-index behavior to shorter and shorter wavelengths. To bring about a negative-index condition, the material*s electric permittivity (a measure of a material's response to an applied electric field) must be negative, and in some cases also its magnetic permeability (a measure of the material's response to an applied magnetic field (to read more about these parameters and early reports of metamaterials, see http://www.aip.org/pnu/2000/split/pnu476-1.htm). At last week*s APS meeting Vladimir Shalaev (Purdue University, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) reported a negative-index material operating at a wavelength of 770 nm (at the end of the visible spectrum), the shortest wavelength observed for a single-negative (negative permittivity) and the same material (but with a different light polarization) operating at a wavelength of 815 nm, the shortest wavelength observed for a double-negative material (both negative permittivity and permeability). See Shalaev*s review article at Nature Photonics, January 2007. 2. Graphene, essentially one-atom-thin carbon sheets, were presented at last year*s meeting by no more than a few groups. Now there are dozens. The reasons for this are graphene*s adaptable mechanical and electrical properties and the very unusual behavior of electrons moving through a graphene landscape: you increase the electron*s energy but you don*t increase their velocity. It*s as if the electrons were acting like slow-moving light waves. Pablo Jarillo-Herrero (Columbia Univ, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) reported the latest developments in this rapidly moving research area, including the useful development of graphene ribbons; the resistivity of the material changes according to the width of the ribbons, meaning that the semiconducting properties of graphene could be tailored to suit the application. He also summarized out recent progress in the field, including the observation of superconducting graphene transistors (Delft), freely suspended graphene sheets, a room-temperature Hall effect, and room temperature single-electron transistors with graphene (Manchester). 3. Light-emitting diodes. Moving from two new topics-metamaterials and graphene-to a more mature field-the production of light by combining holes and electrons inside a semiconductor junction-we see that considerable forward strides are still possible. George Craford (Lumileds/Philips) described a new record-setting white-light high-power LED, with an inpu t current of 350 mA, the one-square-millimeter device produced light at a rate of 115 lumens per watt, representing the first time a high-power LED exceeded the 100 Lm/W mark. LEDs, because of their energy efficiency and their concentration, are already frequently used in traffic lights, brake lights, and in building lighting. Craford predicted that some LEDs were to be used in cellphone flashes, in daytime automobile running lights, and (later this year) for auto headlights. WIRELESS TRANSMISSION OF QUANTUM CODE over a distance of 144 kilometers (89 miles) between two Canary Islands has been demonstrated by a team of researchers in Europe. At the APS March Meeting, Anton Zeilinger of the University of Vienna ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) described how he and his colleagues transmitted single photons from an astronomical observatory in La Palma Island to another one in Tenerife. The transmitted photons' polarization states (representing 0s and 1s) formed the basis of a quantum key, a stream of information that could be used to decipher a longer encrypted message. The researchers used single photons because they are more secure than groups of photons, from which
Our polar bear ad starts airing on national TV Monday!
Dear Alan, You did it! Thousands of you have donated the money needed to put NRDC's new TV ad on the air and broadcast the polar bear's desperate S.O.S. across America. The ad will start running Monday during prime viewing hours and be seen by millions of Americans -- thanks to you. Click here to view the schedule for air times: http://www.nrdconline.org/ct/edA5O2M11cEY/ We'll be on the air at a crucial moment -- because April 9 is the last day that the Bush Administration will be taking public comments on a plan for polar bear protection. We've got to make sure the Administration feels overwhelming pressure to safeguard the polar bear and its habitat -- and that's exactly the kind of pressure our ad will generate. Thank you so much for your generosity in responding to the polar bear's plight. I'll be sure to keep you updated on our Polar Bear S.O.S. campaign in the critical weeks ahead. Sincerely, Frances Beinecke President Natural Resources Defense Council . . .

Re: The secret to being in the snow
NOW That's what I'm talkin about! The other cool Google Earth zoom in experience I had yesterday was to visit the site I journeyed to in Norway in 1988. The Northern tip of land in Europe. ***[Unfortunately the Google Earth Image I posted here is too large for the WrYters Listserve to post- I leave it for the reader to go to the coordinates below]*** At this location in the shape of a 7m square cross I scraped the lichens from the rise at almost precisely the blue cross Google Earth now references Panoramio as Mageroya(Actually the name of the Island, on which one will find the tip of Norruega, which is truely not Tunes the whaling village burned out by the Nazi's in 1942, but rather the true North tip is at Nordkapp, two points East of Tunes, some 10k.) The work I did at Tunes in September 1988 was definitely within a dozen metres of that blue Panoramio cross as it appears today courtesy of Google Earth! Over the square cross I personally identified with Viking lore and the Sun (as distinct from my X-tian influences) I lay 4 paper panels to create a 7m x 7m mark from which I took a frottage of the stone face, within which appeared a spectral face of yet another origin. At Tunes [ 71 9'47.47N 25 32'49.80E ] one will find a Kirkeruin on the flat below the rise on which the crosses now exist (Actually, it is the reason I chose that precise destination in the first place, having in Stockholm, one month earlier, seen it on a topographic map while researching where to make my mark.) Rolling up the 4 papers I returned to Toronto and unrolling the cross out fell a single lichen from the spot. My gleaning was that lichens in those climes grow about 1 mm in a thousand years. OUCH! Owl so in my totem, Bob. Of course, you can The singlemost memorable feature of the location are it's receptive qualities. At Tunes, directly below where I placed the Sun Cross, I found the first course of stones laid in a square, from said Kirkeuin, pre 16th century. Also, upon closer inspection, down at the water's edge exist three graduatingly deeper stone lined basins of Stoneage fishing implementation. And, there is also a cast iron caldron full of water, 30 inches in diameter, used by whalers to render their blubber. The shoreline there is littered with Russian jetsome. Notably white plastic 20 litre square containers Don'tchya just love Google Earth? Wait till we get to Rishiri. There one will find a story of the Sun and its' people. Done.
