Widget for National Academies Press Book #12640

NAP provided the Widget software that was easily installed as a gadget on this blog.

Today I started considering the website characteristics and the system and software. Since we need databases, Google Apps does not appear to be appropriate for the crystallinematerials network requirements. MYSQL has been suggested and is available through Clemson University Information Technology a sandbox that I can play-in to get the database fields defined for both the sample suppliers and sample requesters. I also heard back from Thomas Lagrossa of the AMES Lab Materials Preparation Center. We will link to their website when we get online.

I have registered "crystallinematerials" domains for one year. (biz, ws, us, info, org, com, net).

The OBES in DOE looks like the best opportunity for funding as there may be an Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) funding opportunity for crystal growth soon.

Next week will be a good time to get feedback from the NRC Committee by telling them about this blog. I'll also follow up on the events of the National Academies Annual Meeting.
