Dave, It was good to see the guys over the 4th of July week, and since our plant was off on shutdown, we spent a lot of time on and around the golf course. Not only are they handy with lawnmowers, but they're great caddies as well! Hope everyone had a great holiday!

This element ignites spontaneously with air and explosively with water so it is typically shipped in mineral oil. It is used in Geiger counters and as an air molecule removal "getter" in vacuum tubes. It is also used as a hydrogenation catalyst in the production of margarine. What element is being described? The Answer: The element is Cesium (Cs) Cesium derives its name from the Latin word "caesius" which means "blue-gray". Cesium is the basis for the world's atomic clocks and the definition of a "second" - 9,192,631,770 vibrations of the radiation emitted by an atom of Cs-137 isotope. Casium is used to reduce the radar signature of exhaust plumes in the SR-71 Blackbird military aircraft.
