A&M’s lab was five times more power
ful than the standard laboratory device and
designed to handle a much larger scale of
operation.
“The researchers here have access to the
same equipment you would normally find
only in an industrial setting,” Johnson said.
“That’s pretty unique. We (at A&M) really
are well endowed by not just the facilities we
have but the people we have.”
Many NASA technologies have later found
a wide range of everyday uses. Pillai said he
hopes the advancements made to the technol
ogy as a result of this research will benefit
scientists and consumers alike.
“There probably hasn’t been any research
like this with regards to spacecraft parts
before,” Braby said. “It’s a fairly unique com
bination of agriculture and engineering.”

Running-mate John
Edwards gets place in
convention spotlight
BOSTON (AP) — John Edwards aims to
infuse John Kerry’s New England convention
with youth, energy and Southern roots when
he accepts the Democratic nomination for
vice president.
After two days of challenges to a president
they ache to replace, delegates then will shout
their way through a roll call of states, a step
toward naming Kerry as their man to take on
President Bush in November.
The telegenic senator from North Carolina lays
on his Southern charm in a prime-time speech
Wednesday night that resurrects his contention
that Bush has created “two Americas’’ — one for
the rich and one for everyone else.
Edwards’ speech follows two days in which
some of the Democratic Party's best and bright
est have praised Kerry with stories of his service
in Vietnam while criticizing Bush's handling of
the war in Iraq.
Kerry planned a dramatic arrival Wednesday
in Boston, riding a water taxi across the harbor.
On Tuesday, he cited his qualifications to be
commander in chief and asserted, “I will and
I can fight a more effective war on terror than
George Bush is."
In her first big political speech, the can
didate’s wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, sought to
shield him from that accusation, saying his
positions on the environment and other issues
were just common sense. She took her own
jabs at Bush, describing her husband as a
fighter who earned three Purple Hearts “the
old-fashioned way, by putting his life on the line
for his country."
Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the
aging liberal icon whom Republicans happily
link to Kerry, noted the deaths in Iraq of more
than 900 U.S. troops in what he called a "mis
guided war" that has alienated allies.
