William (Bill) White III, retired BLM Physical Scientist, and a team of BLMers used a mud auger to drill salt core samples for salt thickness study. This methodology was used by Bill in 1988 and again in 2003 for salt thickness measurements that occur every 15 years. Bill chose to drill these cores next to holes previously made by the University of Utah's sonic drill with the intention of comparing his results and older methods to the University of Utah results with their new methods.

The Pic du Midi de Bigorre or simply Pic du Midi (altitude 2,877 m (9,439 ft)) is a mountain in the French Pyrenees famous for its astronomical observatory, the Observatoire du Pic du Midi de Bigorre (Pic du Midi Observatory), part of the Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées.
Construction of the observatory began in 1878 under the auspices of the Société Ramond,[1][2] but by 1882 the society decided that the spiralling costs were beyond its relatively modest means, and yielded the observatory to the French state, which took it into its possession by a law of 7 August 1882. The 8 meter dome was completed in 1908, under the ambitious direction of Benjamin Baillaud. It housed a powerful mechanical equatorial reflector which was used in 1909 to formerly discredit the Martian canal theory (histoire du Pic du Midi de Bigorre). In 1946 Mr. Gentilli funded a dome and 60 cm, and in 1958 a spectrograph was installed.
A 106-centimetre (42-inch) telescope was installed in 1963 funded by NASA, and was used to take detailed photographs of the surface of the Moon in preparation for the Apollo missions. In 1965 the astronomers Pierre and Janine Connes were able to formulate a detailed analysis of the composition of the atmospheres on Mars and Venus, based on the infrared spectra gathered from these planets. The results showed atmospheres in chemical equilibrium. This served as a basis for James Lovelock, a scientist working for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, to predict that those planets had no life - a fact that would be proven and scientifically accepted years after.[3]
A 2 meter telescope, known as the Bernard Lyot Telescope was placed at the observatory in 1980 on top of a 28 meter column built off to the side to avoid wind turbulence affecting the seeing of the other telescopes. It is the largest telescope in France. The observatory also has a coronograph, which is used to study the solar corona. A 60-centimetre telescope (the Gentilly's T60 telescope) is also located at the top of Pic du Midi. Since 1982 this T60 is dedicated to amateur astronomy and managed by a group of amateurs, called association T60.

There are currently at the top:
The 55 cm telescope (Robley Dome);
The 60 cm telescope (T60 Dome, welcoming amateur astronomers via the Association T60);
The 106 cm telescope (Gentilli Dome) dedicated to observations of the solar system;
The 2 meter telescope or Bernard Lyot Telescope (used with a new generation stellar spectropolarimeter);
The coronograph HACO-CLIMSO (studies of the solar corona);
The bezel Jean Rösch (studies of the solar surface)
Also:
The Charvin dome, which sheltered a photoelectric coronometer (which studied the Sun);
The Baillaud dome, reassigned to the museum in 2000 and which houses a 1:1 scale model coronograph.
The observatory is located at 42°56′N 0°8′E, placing it very close to the Greenwich meridian. The observatory was featured in the video game Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 under a different name. The observatory in-game is said to be located on the fictional Pic des Pyrenees.
Saturn's moon Helene (Saturn VII or Dione B), was discovered by Pierre Laques and Jean Lecacheux in 1980 from ground-based observations at Pic du Midi Observatory,[5] and named Helene in 1988. It is also a trojan moon of Dione.

To give Johanna some time to get things done, I took our daughter for a little trip to the pier. Although she slept firmly from the moment we walked out of the subway station, this gave me the opportunity to take a few pictures. Some spectacular, dark clouds and bright sunshine promised to give some nice scenic pictures, but in the end, I was more happy with this.
There are monks everywhere in Cambodia, and, at least for me, it's hard to think of them as students. I chatted for a few minutes with this guy as he wanted to practice is English, he was attending school in the Wat.

British Army Pvt. Richard Ampong, 1st Medical Regiment, studies for the U.S. Army Europe Expert Field Medical Badge before taking on one of the first lanes in Grafenwoehr, Germany, Sept. 16. The USAREUR EFMB provides multinational and U.S. service members with common standards and objectives for treating the sick and wounded and improves communication among the frontline medical professionals fighting together today. As coalition forces gain greater shared understanding, they are more competent and confident in their abilities, and that adds up to lives saved in combat. (photo by Sgt.

Kennedy Library has eight glassed-in group study rooms that we call Collaboration Rooms. Located on the second floor of the library, students can reserve the rooms up to two weeks in advance. The rooms include large modular tables, many chairs, white boards and 48" flat-screen monitors that can hook up to computers or display information from thumbdrives.
Hello, my name is Jordyn House I have attached the three pictures for my

Two young trees in our yard. I used Derwent pencils...I am trying to find a few good green combos, I do like to mix them so they are not so green, mixed more like the real nature greens. One of the best benefits of painting it that you really see. You see so much more detail when you really look. I appreciate viewing anything so much more then I did ten years ago. I am thankful for that gift. Oh well. This is strathmore 400 series, I actually think I like it. 5" x 7"
