  Project Halo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Project Halo is an attempt to apply Artificial Intelligence techniques to the problem of producing a "digital Aristotle" that might serve as a mentor, providing comprehensive access to the world's knowledge.
The project was started in October 2002 with a pilot study in which three groups of researchers, from Cycorp, from University of Texas at Austin, SRI International and Boeing Phantom Works, and from Ontoprise, built systems capable of answering Advanced Placement Test level questions in sub-areas of chemistry.
Phase II of Project Halo, which kicked off in January 2004, is an attempt to develop tools that will allow scientists and scientific educators without expertise in knowledge engineering to formulate, debug, extend, validate and query knowledge bases.

 22 Degree Halo: a ring of light 22 degrees from the sun or moon
Most halos appear as bright white rings but in some instances, the dispersion of light as it passes through ice crystals found in upper level cirrus clouds can cause a halo to have color.
Halos form when light from the sun or moon is refracted by ice crystals associated with thin, high-level clouds (like cirrostratus clouds).
A 22 degree halo is a ring of light 22 degrees from the sun (or moon) and is the most common type of halo observed and is formed by hexagonal ice crystals with diameters less than 20.5 micrometers.

 Project Wonderboy Halo 2
Halo: Combat Evolved had somehow managed to retain its shelf life for almost the entire span between games, thanks in large part to its addictive multiplayer modes and an active community focused on the creation of an online workaround, but the time was nigh.
The first Halo remains to this day one of my most cherished gaming experiences, and is still played on a regular basis whenever my buddies and I feel the need to blow one another's heads off.
Halo 2 is the sequel all games should strive to deliver, retaining the best aspects of its predecessor while giving fans a whole new set of possibilities to master in the wait for the next chapter.

 Servants to Asia's urban poor
At a fraction of the cost of supporting a child in an orphanage, Project HALO is able to support a grandmother (or aunt or uncle for example) who would otherwise be unable to care for their orphaned relatives.
One of the critical success factors of Project HALO is the careful monitoring, visiting and relationship building with each and every orphan and family.
Project HALO staff provide a sense of stability and continuity for the children through the difficult period of their parents' death.

 Moon Miners' Manifesto: HAL5 Chapter Builds Rockoon
Project HALO was conceived to explore the scientific and economic potential of using high altitude balloons as launch platforms for rockets.
HAL5 thus started Project HALO as a means to use today's better balloon and small, safe, hybrid rocket technology to push the rockoon concept to its full potential as an economical means of reaching extremely high altitudes.
It is our hope that Project HALO will demonstrate that extreme altitudes are reachable by amateurs; that by pushing rockoon technology to its limits, we will inspire ourselves, others, and those who participate with us -- as either student experimenters, scientific researchers, or commercial developers -- to push us all to reach even higher.

 Project Halo Aims to Develop a 'Digital Aristotle'
Project Halo is an artificial intelligence initiative of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and his investment group, Vulcan Inc.
The project seeks to develop a so-called Digital Aristotle, named after the Greek philosopher who, in a far simpler day, is said to have known the answer to any question about science.
By limiting the amount of knowledge to be encompassed, and confining it to facts, Allen's privately held Vulcan Inc. investment arm stands a better chance of success than did earlier, sweeping AI projects seeking to reduce all human knowledge to computer-readable form, said project manager Noah Friedland.

 Executive Summary of Project HALO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Project HALO, for “High Altitude Lift Off”, was conceived to explore the scientific and economic potential of using high altitude balloons as launch platforms for rockets.
The Huntsville Alabama L5 Society (HAL5) chapter of the National Space Society (NSS), thus started Project HALO as a means to use today’s better balloon and small rocket technology to push the rockoon concept to its full potential as an economical means of reaching extremely high altitudes.
Project HALO will consist of several distinct phases, each of which in itself will provide opportunities for HAL5 to build the managerial and technical skills and resources to proceed to the next step.  Each step will provide unique opportunities for student involvement, original research on the edge-of-space environment, and perhaps suggest commercial uses of rockoons.
