 Former security guard Richard Jewell, who was erroneously linked to the 1 stanley ca 996 Olympic bombing, died Wednesday, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said.Jewell, 44, was found dead in his west Georgia home, GBI spokesman John Bankhead said.He died of natural causes, said Meriwether County Coroner Johnny Worley. There s no suspicion whatsoever of any type of foul play. He had been at home sick since the end of February with kidne stanley cup y problems,  Worley said.The GBI planned to do an autopsy Thursday, Bankhead said.        Jewell was working as a private security guard when a bomb exploded in Atlanta s Centennial Olympic Park just after 1 a.m. on July 27, 1996. He helped escort many of the spectators to safety and was, at first, called a hero. But media reports soon identified him as a suspect in the bombing. Everybody then assumed that this bizarre character, as he was being portrayed, had decided that this was gonna be his 15 minutes of fame, that he was going to set up this situation where he would literally bomb a park and then claim to be a hero,  Lin Wood, Jewell s lawyer, told 60 Minutes in 2002.  In an e-mail to The Associated Press, Wood said he was  devastated  by the news of Jewell s death.The FBI put Jewell under round-the-clock surveillance and conducted a very public search of his apartment after the stanley cup  bombing.

 These are sandcastles only in th stanley cup becher e technical sense; instead of temporary structures erected on the beach, they ;re images engraved on individual grains of sand, best enjoyed with the help of a microscope.     Artist Vik Muniz often plays with medium and scale; he recreated a photograph of Jackson Pollock in chocolate syrup, photographed giant portraits rendered in trash, and carved 500-meter wide pictures in the dirt. For his latest project, however, he decided to think small, creating works that are imperceptible to the naked eye. Muniz collaborated with artist and researcher Marcelo Coelho to figure out a way to etch his castle images. Laser etching proved unsuccessful, destroying softer grains of sand and failing to produce sufficiently sharp images on harder grains. Instead, they turned to a Focused Ion Beam for their microscopic engraving. Each pixel in the 6 stanley vaso 40 pixel image above is about 50 nanometers wide. And photographing the images isn ;t a simple process, since the lines are .4 to 1.0 micrometers, close to diffraction limit of visible light.

The blown-up images are on display at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art as part of comprehensi stanley drinking cup ve exhibition of Muniz   works.  Creating Sand Castles With A Single Grain Of Sand [The Creators Project via The Colossal]
