		Ewing argues his trial counsel was ineffective because he failed to object to the State's impermissible references to his silence.
		While Ewing characterizes the testimony as comments on his non-statements or his failure to reveal his alibi, we are unpersuaded that the testimony amounted to a comment on his silence.
		Ewing provided alibi evidence in his interviews with police — that he was "kicking it" with friends, stopping at several friends' houses, at the time of the robbery.

	Geophysicists - W. Maurice Ewing
		When Dr. Ewing undertakes a project, he has a tenacity that is almost unbelievable, and this characteristic has doubtless resulted in many successful conclusions to his abundant efforts.
		At the age of fifty-one, Dr. Ewing is in the prime of life for a scientist, and you may expect to see him and hear him many times during the next two decades.
		Dr. William Maurice Ewing, in recognition of your contributions to the science of geophysics, the Society of Exploration Geophysicists has elected you an Honorary Life Member, and I now hand you the certificate of Honorary Life Membership in the Society of Exploration Geophysicists.

	Living Legacies
		Ewing’s summer jobs had made him familiar with emerging techniques employed by oil companies to reveal the thickness, composition, and contours of buried rock strata (and the oil hidden within them) by studying seismic waves traveling through and reflecting off rock layers.
		Much the way Ewing was applying physics to study geology, the geochemists were poised to unleash modern postwar chemistry techniques and equipment to study the history and causes of climate change on Earth, to chart the ocean’s circulation, and to confront a host of environmental problems.
		Ewing could not grab it because he had taken a blow to the neck and his left side was paralyzed.

		Ewing was bubbling over with ideas and concepts and wanted each of them to be tried out immediately, exhausting his students with the urgency of getting the equipment built or the research complete without delay.
		Maurice Ewing was unwilling to dilute his efforts or waste time on things outside the mainstream of his interests.
		Ewing's outstanding contributions to geophysics were recognized by the conferring of eleven honorary degrees by universities in the United States and four foreign countries.

		Ewing himself never had much difficulty with that idea and expected everyone else to behave the same way.
		But I think Ewing was answering a little disingenuously and in the abstract (which he was not known for) and there was a more concrete answer that he could have offered as well.

		Maurice Ewing, which is using sound waves to search for traces of an asteroid that may have wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, ran aground on rocks and coral about 30 miles off the Yucatan peninsula late Monday (Feb 14).
		Officials with Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, which is in charge of operating Maurice Ewing, had no immediate comment on the accident.
		The agency granted the permits only after scientists agreed to take along independent specialists to monitor sea animals, work only during the day when it is easier to avoid marine animals and maintain a 3,800-metre safety radius around the ship.

		François’ greatest legacy may be in helping to establish this field, and in the demonstration that biochemistry, genetics, and microbiology, in addition to aquatic chemistry and geochemistry, are critical for understanding the oceans.
		On behalf of all of those influenced by his science, his teaching, and his friendship, it is an honor to introduce him as the recipient of the 2005 Maurice Ewing Medal.

		Ewing was born in Lockney, Texas, and studied at the Rice Institute in Houston.
		Using marine sound-fixing and ranging seismic techniques and pioneering deep-ocean photography and sampling, Ewing ascertained that the crust of the Earth under the ocean is much thinner (5-8 km/3-5 mi thick) than the continental shell (about 40 km/25 mi thick).
		His studies of ocean sediment showed that its depth increases with distance from the midocean ridge, which gave clear support for the hypothesis of sea-floor spreading.

		Expuso que los 100 científicos de varios países que viajan a bordo del "Maurice", llegaron a realizar una llamada de auxilio al Centro Cultural Pesquero y varias embarcaciones acudieron a su encuentro.
		Sin embargo, no fue necesario realizar grandes maniobras o desalojar a la tripulación, ya que como se mencionó el barco pudo regresar a flote y reiniciar sus labores de exploración frente a las costas yucatecas.
