Hello and welcome to today's Aerospace Team Online chat with Roxana Greenman
from NASA Ames Research Center! Roxana researches the field of computational
fluid dynamics (CFD). CFD is the process of using computers to solve complex
equations associated with aircraft flight. One of her current research
areas is the development of new methods that incorporate information technology
into CFD design methods. She is trying to learn the benefits of combining
technology based on our biological nervous systems with special computer

And now, here is Roxana Greenman to answer your questions.
[ RoxanaGreenman/ARC
- 14 - 09:08:01 ]
Good Morning! I look forward to answering and chatting with all of today!
[ RoxanaGreenman/ARC
- 13 - 09:06:46 ]
RE: [Ann/AERO-Ann/AERO] Would you please describe
the high-lift devices which you design and explain how they relate to
the human nervous system.
Good Morning Ann! High-lift devices are located on the wing. They consist
usually of a slat which is the leading-edge device and a flap which is
the trailing-edge device. One of there many purpose is to help the aircraft
generate more lift. They are used at takeoff and landing and are stowed
during cruise. Now, neural networks are computational devices that model
the human nervous system. They are two different items. High-lift devices
do NOT model the human nervous system.
[ Oran/NASAChatHost

Roxana, perhaps you can share with us any obstacles or constraints you've
had to contedn with as you've moved along in your career.
[ RoxanaGreenman/ARC
- 20 - 09:18:30 ]
I recently received my doctorate at Stanford University. Researching,
writing, and defending my Ph. D. dissertation has been one of the most
difficult events that I have accomplished. But at the same time, it was
one of the most rewarding!
[ RoxanaGreenman/ARC
- 22 - 09:20:54 ]
Recently, I have integrated a genetic algorithm, neural network, and an
optimizer together to find the maximum lift of a multi-element wing. The
wing had a slat, main, and flap element on it. The genetic algorithm mimics
the evolution process of the "survival of the fittest" to find the best

RE: [Shae-Shae/LamarUniversity] You said that
working with NASA has alwaays been fun. What kinds of things do you do
that make this possible?
Good Morning Shae! I enjoy working at NASA because there are so many opportunities
that are available to me. I was able to choose the topic of research that
I have been involved in for the last 3 years. This is important to me.
Also at NASA, my collegues give me great support and help to succeed.
It also rewarding to be working with scientists who are known world-wide
and I also enjoy working with all the state-of-the-art equipment.
[ RoxanaGreenman/ARC
- 26 - 09:26:13 ]
RE: [Ann/AERO-Ann/AERO] Yes that would be great,
also could you refer us to any published info on your research and/or
available space science publications. Thank you.
Ann, in my Ph.D. dissertation, I have an excellant Reference list. Here
is the reference for my dissertation: Greenman, R. M., "Two-Dimensional
High-Lift Aerodynamic Optimization Using Neural Networks, Ph. D. Dissertation,
Stanford University (see Also NASA TM 1998-112233), June 1998. If you
need more please let me know.
[ RoxanaGreenman/ARC
- 28 - 09:29:21 ]
RE: [Shae-Shae/LamarUniversity] I wish to have
a career in NASA and so, would love to have an inside view on the kinds
of things that are done and the opportunities that will be presented.
First of all, I would highly encourage getting involved with NASA as you
are now! This is what I am currently working on: 1) Preparing journal
articles 2) Investigating genetic algorithms and other information technology
3) I will participate in the planning of IVHM (Integrated Vehicle health
monitoring) 4) I also review proposals and other papers 5) business stuff.
But remember that there are many different opportunities with NASA. It
really depends on your job and what research group you are in.
[ RoxanaGreenman/ARC
- 29 - 09:31:47 ]
RE: [Shae-Shae/LamarUniversity] Do you work
with any of the space program? That is the area in which NASA has drawn
my attention most.
Currently, I am not involved with the space program. But in the NEAR future
I will be. With IVHM we will be looking at space vehicles and my divion
is also moving in the direction of space. We will be examining Reuseable
Launch Vehicles (RLV). I am very excited about this!!
[ RoxanaGreenman/ARC
- 31 - 09:35:02 ]
RE: [Ann/AERO-Ann/AERO] Roxana, I am an adult
educator, un-fortunately the school day has not begun yet here (the students
are just getting on the bus). Your explanations of complicated research
are so clear and easy to understand. On a recent Discovery channel show,
it was suggested that space travel and travel to the deep sea are similar.
Since you're the ocean is important in your leisure hours, have you observed
I have also heard about space travel and travel in the deep sea are similar.
Unfortunately, I have not done either. So I am not sure.
[ Oran/NASAChatHost
- 32 - 09:35:52 ]
As a reminder, at the conclusion of today's chat, please let us know what
you thought about it at http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/qchats/qchat-surveys.
[ RoxanaGreenman/ARC
- 33 - 09:36:09 ]
RE: [Shae-Shae/LamarUniversity] That sounds
Thanks!! Shae -- what do you study? Aeronautics? Do you like your University?
[ RoxanaGreenman/ARC
- 35 - 09:39:54 ]
RE: [Shae-Shae/LamarUniversity] If so, what
kinds of things do you do?
I imagine in the future, I will apply computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
to the different space vehicles that we will be researching. Also, I will
use CFD with information technology such as neural networks, genetic algorithms,
and others to try to locate optimums or to enhance our database.
[ RoxanaGreenman/ARC
- 37 - 09:43:58 ]
RE: [Shae-Shae/LamarUniversity] I am studying
to become an Aerospace engineer. I am not really sure yet about what in
particular I would like to do and am presently searching for information.
Good for you! It sounds like you are definitely intesteted in space versus
aeronautics. You must be excited about the next launch in the next day
or so. Another great source for information on different areas of research
are the journals. For example, Journal of Aircraft, AIAA Journal, and
Journal of Fluids Engineering. These will have a lot of information on
the new topics that are being researched. Sometimes just reading the abstracts
will give you a good feel for what is important in industry and govenment.
[ RoxanaGreenman/ARC
- 40 - 09:49:20 ]
RE: [Shae-Shae/LamarUniversity] RLV sounds
interesting. In what particular ways would you apply CFD to this progect?
CFD can be used in RLV research in many ways. One imporant result from
CFD would be the loads that the vehicle would experience during its flight
and especially in re-entery. In this case, we will have to incorporate
chemistry with the Navier-Stokes equation (conservation of mass, momentum,
and energy) due to the high heating. Neural Networks can then be used
to minimize the amount of data points needed to be computed. The neural
networks can fill in the design space once it is trained properly with
some inputs and outputs.
[ RoxanaGreenman/ARC
- 43 - 09:51:10 ]
RE: [Shae-Shae/LamarUniversity] How do I gain
access to such journals?
Most of these Journals are on the web -- or at least the titles of the
papers and the abstracts. Do a search for AIAA and ASME and go to their
home pages. Then just have "fun". Also, you can find all these journals
in a good technical library.
[ RoxanaGreenman/ARC
- 45 - 09:54:30 ]
RE: [NyyotaHolmes-Mr.Howard/HighlandParkHighSchool]
I'm in a algebra class. I'm interested in knowing what math classes would
i need to take to be in your feild?
You do need a lot of math to be an Aerospace engineer. In high school,
I took algebra, geometry, trig, and calculus. But then in college I re-took
Calculus. I basically took math all through my bachelors and Ph. D. Some
other course I took in college are differential equations, simlitude,
advanced applied math. But they were all fun and interesting. Just make
sure you take them in the correct order because they are usually pre-requisites.
[ RoxanaGreenman/ARC
- 46 - 09:56:08 ]
RE: [Shae-Shae/LamarUniversity] Oh, so one
of the most important things you would do has to do with the intelegence
of the craft?
Yes, the control system of the aircraft is very important. There are stability
and control engineers who work on just that!
[ RoxanaGreenman/ARC
- 48 - 09:56:59 ]
RE: [Shae-Shae/LamarUniversity] Are they readily
availible to everyone?
Yes, you should have no problem locating the Journals, if you do, please
let us know.
[ RoxanaGreenman/ARC
- 50 - 10:01:09 ]
RE: [Shae-Shae/LamarUniversity] Would you please
expand upon the neural network you spoke of earlier?
Neural networks (NN) are computational devices that are very good at predicting
non-linear data once they are trained on a data set. The neural networks
are trained by presenting input-output pairs to the networks. Then the
NN adjust the connectivity weights between nodes until the error between
the predicted value and the actual value of the output for a given input
in minimized. Thus, they are used to fill in a design space that is sparse.
They were designed to simulate the human nervous system.

This week, news of Felipe Massa's departure from Ferrari and the confirmation of 2007 world champion Kimi Raikkonen as his replacement ended the speculation over Formula One's most coveted 2014 seat.
With the Finn returning to the Scuderia, with which he spent three seasons, that does leave another attractive opening for those seeking pastures new.
The F1 driver merry-go-round is a fickle thing. Nico Hulkenberg and Paul di Resta know that, having been widely tipped for McLaren as Lewis Hamilton's replacement before they announced Sergio Perez.
So, what's the gossip on the hunt for a drive at Lotus—and elsewhere?
Hulkenberg Favourite to Partner Grosjean
According to Autosport, Sauber racer Hulkenberg was on Lotus' radar for 2014 even before the team knew of Raikkonen's move away from Enstone.
Team Principal Eric Boullier said post-Monza that there was a plan B in place if Raikkonen left, and it looks like the German, who qualified third and raced home to fifth in Italy, is the man at the centre of it.
Boullier said:
He had a good weekend and we know Nico is quite a good driver and fast. I have known him for a long time, since he was in Formula BMW. So we all have plans, if the first one [Raikkonen] is removed, there will be a b-plan."
Next moves in the #F1 driver market? Hulkenberg to Lotus and Bianchi to Sauber would be nice. Both deserve a step up in machinery— Glenn Freeman (@glenn_autosport) September 11, 2013
Di Resta Also in the Frame?
Disconcertingly for Di Resta, his Force India is suffering a dip in form right at the stage of the season he needs to impress most.
It was the same story last season, as Hulkenberg appeared to overshadow the Scot emphatically while Di Resta struggled with a chassis problem.
He was known to be seeking a Ferrari drive, as reported by Chris Hockley of The Sun earlier in the year, but that ship has clearly sailed.
Nonetheless, Di Resta had an impressive opening half of the season, and while he's not as well-rounded as Hulkenberg, he is an attractive prospect in terms of his ability.
That's why The Telegraph includes him in their quick run-through of the Lotus candidates for 2014, as did GrandPrix247.
Bianchi Set for Sauber?
The signs point to Jules Bianchi filling Hulkenberg's Sauber seat next year, and that is down to one reason: Ferrari.
That's not to suggest the Frenchman's not talented enough to warrant the drive; far from it. But the team, despite recent Russian investment, is embattled, and it remains to be seen if it can choose just one of Esteban Gutierrez's Mexican millions or Sergey Sirotkin's eastern money.
The fact is, that partnership would be mighty unappealing on the grounds of experience and the likelihood of success. Yes, Bianchi has the same level of experience as Gutierrez, but he does have a lot more F1 testing under his belt.
But that's an aside. Crash.net reported in July the Russians themselves were interested in drafting Bianchi, while last month GrandPrix247 said Ferrari wanted to place its starlet in a midfield team.
Sauber is Ferrari's satellite team, and the suggestion is the Scuderia wants to place Bianchi there. Only pound, dollar or euro signs seem to stand in the way. Such is F1...
And Where Does That Leave Massa?
The question we should be asking is will Ferrari promote Jules Bianchi to Sauber or hand Felipe Massa a leaving gift of a seat there? #F1— Jarvis (@JarvoB) September 11, 2013
At Lotus, or out of F1, most likely. Although the Brazilian remains defiant. He has a good relationship with Sauber and that, as well as Lotus, has been touted as his likeliest destination.
That seat will likely come down to Bianchi vs. the Brazilian; Ferrari family member vs. Ferrari family member and potential vs. experience.
Would Massa be too proud to drop any lower? Racer.com's Edd Straw mulled over the potential of a straight swap with Raikkonen, recalling (hypothetical) comments from Boullier earlier in the year:
Does Massa Deserve To Be In F1 Next Year?
Since F1 stopped testing, it's difficult for a young driver to step in. Maybe if Romain doesn't deliver, I would prefer to go with an experienced driver like Mark Webber or Felipe Massa rather than go with a youngster.
Whatever the outcome, Massa is convinced he will be in F1. As Straw recounts his attitude post-Monza, before the Raikkonen decision was announced:
I have shown enough what I can do. I have shown how well I work with the team and everything, but I have shown enough to the other teams as well.
David Coulthard: Kimi Raikkonen/Fernando Alonso Not a Problem
In his web column for The Telegraph, 2001 world championship runner-up David Coulthard reckons a Raikkonen/Alonso partnership will not rock the Ferrari boat next season.
Instead, the Scot feels the talented Finn will be a success in his second coming with the Scuderia, and that he will galvanise the squad:
Like Felipe Massa at the moment, Kimi will get on with the job at hand and not rock the boat. He did not rock the boat in 2008 and 2009 when Felipe started to get on top of him.
Clive Mason/Getty Images
Kimi's ice-cool demeanour should not be mistaken for a lack of desire, though. He did not leave Ferrari on the best of terms in 2010, having lost his way somewhat, but he is older and wiser now after two years out in the World Rally Championship. And he is still extremely quick.
The question is will Fernando Alonso rock the boat if Kimi starts to push him close, or even beat him? I don't think so.

Sparring as a heavy hitter.
I enjoy hitting the heavy bags a lot and it's rewarded me with some serious power..But when I spar I'm totally gimped because I'm not going to be rude and unload during practice.. My low power shots are soo slow. Anyway it's good for me to work on my defense and footwork Oh god my feet are slow.. I'm not sure if I will ever take a Pro fight and am to old for amateur so I best keep on good term with sparring partners..I guess I'm just envious of the guys that can go all out in sparring and not worry much about injuries.

I used to think the same thing until my coach showed me how unbalanced I was.
If your low power shots are too slow and your footwork is bad, then I'd have to guess that your form needs work. If your form needs work then those big power shots might not be based on good balance. If your power is coming from your muscles, re-evaluate what you're doing as you should be able to throw any shot without unloading. No disrespect, just my 2¢.

I'm unbalanced no doubt..I've adopted some unconventional movement to compensate for my slow foot speed..It works by making me hard to time and i will vary my stride length so its harder to predict how fast I will close the distance..The big downside is I'm not in balance and makes moving my body to dodge and slip difficult ..I block well and my chin is nailed to my chest but its cause I eat a lot of hits.

Most defiantly a work in progress I just want to be the best Boxer I can be. Crushedknee is a descriptor..It's ok but it is a limited mileage joint for me now..I Cant afford to burn whats left of it on a lot of Pure physical Leg conditioning.I save it for skill conditioning and development.I'm working on it and getting faster but It's not going to ever be my strength. I do think I block ok but Slipping and dodging can avoid hits when your hands and arms are busy elsewhere..

AthFest is one of my favorite times of the year. Now admittedly, I'm just a junior here at UGA so I've only had the pleasure of experiencing two rounds of festivals; regardless of my immaturity I am still in love.
The summer after my freshman year was my first experience with AthFest. I visited all the white tents eagerly giving my money away to all the local artists. I couldn't believe the visual talent that was lined up and down the populated streets. I grabbed all the business cards I could just so I could revisit the talent once more after the festival.

One of the best and simultaneously worst things about living in Athens is the amount of choices you have when you want to grab a bite to eat. Not only do you want to have great food but you also want to enjoy the ambiance. The following is a list of my personal top ten favorite places to fill your stomach and fulfill the need of local culture.
1.) The Grit-199 Prince Ave
2.) Clocked-259 W Washington St
3.) Royal Peasant-1675 S. Lumpkin Street

Insomnia Cookies Off Clayton Street
It's one in the morning; you're just now finishing the fifth page of a ten-page paper. You're in desperate need for a pick-me-up that isn't too filling but isn't too expensive either. Another caffeinated drink like coffee or a Monster just might genuinely kill you, so instead you look for something homey, comforting, and just sweet enough to meet your cravings. You decide to call Insomnia Cookies.

A mother e-mailed us this video, saying that her son's father was watching from above:
Linda Viana writes:
"This is a video of my sons shot with 1 second left to win the game. Since he really didn't aim we like to think that it was his dad in heaven that helped guide it in the net. His father was a huge supporter with our kids and their activities but we lost him 2 yrs ago in a car accident. By the way it is not me doing all that screaming. Thank you."
No, Linda, thank you.

Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Pottstown temporarily is closing until a comprehensive structural evaluation is completed to ensure the safety of parishioners and the community.
The church was examined earlier this week by an independent engineering firm, which led to a recommendation to restrict access to the site because of potentially unsafe and structurally unstable conditions.
The Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia authorized the closure out of concern for the safety of parishoners.
The Montgomery County church is a worship site of Saint Aloysius Parish.
The preliminary assessment found several items that present potentially unsafe and structurally
unstable conditions, reported a spokesman for the archdiocese.
The existing heavy timber roof trusses are failing and causing outward
deflection of the exterior walls.
Additionally, a visual review of those trusses identified several
areas of concern within the framing.
Due to those findings, the engineering firm has recommended immediately
restricting access to the interior of the building until a comprehensive structural evaluation can be completed.
Such an evaluation will require exploratory openings be cut into existing masonry
to determine the specific magnitude of structural distress.
The future of the church building will be determined by the findings and the options available to the parish.
Those who regularly attend Mass at Holy Trinity are invited to attend Mass at Saint Aloysius Catholic Church in Pottstown.

I am 36 and I traveled with my boyfriend who is 39. This was my 13th cruise and his first. We got a cab at 11:00 in Queens where I live and was on the boat eating lunch by 12:30. We had a large balcony cabin and loved it. The balcony was a very nice size and pretty private and I didn't smell any smoke, which was something I was a little concerned with but it was great.
The food was excellent. La Cucina was probably my least favorite of all, but Cagney's was great steaks were very good. The Brazilian Steakhouse was amazing but make sure you go hungry! Le Bistro was also very very good really enjoyed that. We didn't get a chance to dine in Manhattan Room, but Taste and Savor were both very good.
Rock of Ages was amazing we both loved it! Fat Cats was also very good. We didn't do many other shows, we mostly just played it by ear after dinner.
In Bermuda we went to Horseshoe Bay on our first day and it was beautiful not overly crowded. Our second day we went to Coco Reef and did the day pass. Such a beautiful beach and hardly anyone there. The lunhc was very good, a very good deal.
Only thing I would do different would be to get the Unlimited Beverage package, it would have saved us some money in the end, but we had such an amazing trip overall. Will definitely sail Breakaway again.
Really enjoyed our time here. The Bone Fish Bar and Grill was great as was Snorkel Park at night.

The use of famous people to promote medical products in consumer advertising is facing scrutiny by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. The committee's initial focus is on the appearance of Robert Jarvik, MD, in commercials for Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium), manufactured by Pfizer Inc, New York City. Jarvik rose to fame as one of the developers of the Jarvik-7 artificial heart.
"We are concerned that consumers might be misled by Pfizer's television ads for Lipitor starring Dr Jarvik," said Committee Chairman Rep John D. Dingell (D, Mich) in a January 7 release. "In the ads, Dr Jarvik appears to be giving medical advice, but apparently,
he has never obtained a license to practice or prescribe medicine."

Eastside Christian School Garden
The Eastside Christian School garden offers a fun and educational school program that allows students to engage in a unique learning environment. Students learn a variety of subjects while appreciating and connecting with nature and unplugging from technology. A school garden is a valuable asset. It is a living laboratory where students can tackle a variety of subjects in a real world situation. Many life skills and virtues can be taught naturally, while working in the healthful outdoors with others. Gardening can bring any aspect of the curriculum to life. For example, figuring out how far apart to plant seeds or calculating the weight of harvested vegetables sharpens math skills. Learning whether it's the right season to plant peas or squash teaches science and connects students to the seasonal rhythm of nature. Vocabulary improves and language lessons are learned through the introduction of gardening terms, e.g. photosynthesis and germination. Geography and History aren't just subjects in a book; learn about Brussels sprouts and also the origins of the potato. Children gain self-confidence, learn responsibility through environmental stewardship, learn focus and patience, cooperation, teamwork and social skills. Students who grow their own organic garden learn the facts and benefits of organic food. Students who harvest the fruits (and vegetables) of their labor are more likely to make healthier food choices, be more physically active, and consume more vegetables.

KGI is a nonprofit community of over 30,000 people who are growing some of our own food and helping others to do the same.

John Calipari is doing it again.
The coach who went out and put together one of the most remarkable recruiting classes in recent college basketball history -- comprising four freshmen who might become four NBA first-round draft picks after only one year in college -- took a big first step Wednesday in doing it again.
On the first day of the spring signing period, Calipari landed Brandon Knight, the player many consider one of the top players and almost certainly the top point guard in the country, and 6-foot-10 center Enes Kanter from Turkey (by way of a prep school in California).
Notice the phrase "Calipari landed." Not Kentucky. By now it should be obvious to all that the name on the front of the jersey matters only to fans.
Players commit to coaches and to situations. There was nothing the University of Kentucky offered to the fabulous freshman class of John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe, and Daniel Orton that almost any community college in the country couldn't have offered except the chance to play for Calipari.
But the mercenary nature of college basketball is a tired story.
Instead, what's fascinating about this basketball signing period is how many top players still were available as of Wednesday morning. There were at least five high school players rated among the top 25 in the country uncommitted going into the late signing period: Knight, Josh Selby, Terrance Jones, C.J. Leslie and Doron Lamb.
It's remarkable when you think back to the early 1980s, when the NCAA first adopted the early signing period. Almost immediately it became expected that the best players in the country would sign early and the late signing period would be for second-level player who coaches went after once they'd been rejected by their first choices.
But that began to change after 2005, when the NBA reached a new collective bargaining agreement that required players to be one year removed from high school before being eligible for the draft.
The NCAA had no choice in that matter -- "Our rule is our business," said NBA Commissioner David Stern -- and was left trying to manage a system of short-timers who come and go, sometimes without darkening the doorway of a classroom in the spring semester.
Top high school players are starting to figure out they are better off waiting until spring to see just how many freshmen and sophomores declare themselves eligible for the NBA Draft, decisions that open up scholarships in places such as Kentucky that, in the fall, you might not have thought would be available.
"We've got room for nine, 10 -- we've got a lot of room," Calipari said Wednesday on ESPNU when asked about his spring signing class. "I'm hoping our thing is we have 11 guys on scholarship. .¤.¤. We're looking at possibly bringing in five or six players in this class."
And quite possibly having to do it again next year.
How strange that as football coaches lobby for an early signing period, college basketball coaches are losing what was supposed to be the biggest benefit: not having to continue to baby-sit the top recruits through those recruits' senior year.
So now the process is going full circle, and coaches don't like it because it means they have to recruit a little longer and a little harder to keep their multimillion-dollar contracts.
But if the rest of the college coaches don't want to work that hard, it's OK with John Calipari.
This system seems to work just fine for him.

MARTINSBURG (AP) - Jefferson County Sheriff Robert Shirley faces a civil trial next fall of a lawsuit that accuses him of severely beating a bank robbery suspect.
U.S. District Judge John Preston Bailey has scheduled the trial for Nov. 19, 2013, in Martinsburg. Bailey ordered that mediation be completed by June 2, 2013.
Mark Daniel Haines says the sheriff kicked and stomped on him after a December 2010 police chase. He's currently serving a 19-year sentence for bank robbery.

Shirley has denied any wrongdoing and vows he'll be vindicated.
Shirley has also pleaded not guilty to criminal charges stemming from the incident. That trial is scheduled to begin Jan. 22, 2013.

Talking with Jim Sherwood and Charles "Chuck" Simpkins, both were chemists at the Warren Water Filtration Plant on Elm Road (put into service in 1954), I told them of an experience in a city in another state. It involved drawing a glass of cold water from a tap in a third-floor bathroom of a 1906 house. The water contained a fragment of wood! "It couldn't be," I said to myself, but there it was. I didn't measure it at the time. My recall is that the sliver of wood was an eighth of an inch long, maybe longer.
Both men, being cautious and trained in the scientific method, did not readily respond to the incident I spoke of. Their silence caused me to wonder if they doubted the truth of my statement. When each spoke it was in measured words saying, "That couldn't be but you know what you saw in the glass. Let's think about it."
At the time I found the fragment of wood, 45 years ago, people felt confident that the city water filtration system was efficient and provided safe water. The men thought there might still have been some old wooden pipes the water passed through, between the filtration plant and the house, which produced the fragment, or, though not provable, that repair work someplace along the line had accidentally allowed the fragment to enter the system. The puzzle was not solved, but we did our best.
The history of drinking water, its safety, transportation and usage in growing population areas is fascinating. What would the Trumbull County settlers in the early 1800s have thought of a future dam on Mosquito Creek, creating a 12-square-mile reservoir near the center of our county 140 years later? They probably couldn't have thought it possible. Stone aqueducts transported fresh water from the Apennine Mountains in central Italy for many miles to the city of Rome 2,000 years ago, while many places in central Africa still have dangerously polluted water. The Africans have no capital available to construct a filtration plant or pipe for the water, no skilled personnel to cope with the bacteria, viruses and quality of taste.
Modern water treatment began following an 1854 epidemic of cholera in London, England, which relied on raw water from the River Thames. Warren's water travels conveniently a dozen miles from the reservoir to the various households and industrial points of use and is made potable and safe by a responsible and well-trained staff at our modern and constantly up-dated treatment plant. How fortunate we are.
In India, glacial meltwater is the primary source of water for millions of people. With the glaciers receding, their supply of water may be in jeopardy. The oil-rich countries in the arid Middle East use some desalinization to convert saltwater to fresh. All large new cruise ships have onboard desalinization units now. Desalinization is costly, but it does the job for small populations. Our American Southwest has growing populations and a growing dependency on snowmelt for irrigation, drinking water and industrial use.
One wonders how states like Arizona and California, being so dependent on unpredictable supplies of water in the face of growing populations and luxurious lifestyles, can anticipate a successful future.
Sherwood retired in 2006 after 30 years. Simpkins, age 91, was his predecessor as chemist at the Warren Filtration Plant and also a 30-year man. Simpkins started in 1942 at the old filtration plant, formerly located at Mahoning and Summit streets in Warren. That plant had been built in the 1880s and drew raw water from the Mahoning River. Simpkins started as a clean-up man. By dint of conscientious work on the job, independent study and success in passing four state of Ohio qualifying tests, he became the plant's chemist in due course. (Think how proud of that achievement he must have been!) Sherwood had the benefit of a Hiram College degree in chemistry.
These two men are a font of knowledge of modern day professional water treatment. They and their dedicated Water Department coworkers have had the benefit of overview and standards set by state and federal health authorities, and we are the ultimate beneficiaries.

Smooth 'fuelling' for KSRTC buses in Kottayam
By Nidhin T R | ENS - KOTTAYAM
Published: 21st March 2013 11:37 AM
Last Updated: 21st March 2013 11:37 AM
The Kottayam KSRTC depot has started filling diesel for its buses from the Civil Supplies Corporation's outlet at Manipuzha here from Tuesday night. The officials at the depot said that the new system for fuelling went on smoothly on Wednesday as well.
Assistant Transport Officer T A Kunju Muhammed said that, on the first day, as many as 8,500 litres of diesel was taken by the buses from the depot at a rate of `50.80 per litre which is `13 less than the price fixed by the oil companies for bulk consumers.
"A cheque of `4.35 lakh was issued from the KSRTC head office at Thiruvananthapuram for buying diesel from the pump on Tuesday and it was encashed by the Civil Supplies Corporation on Wednesday morning at the Federal Bank Branch in Kottayam. On Wednesday, the KSRTC bought 7,600 litres of diesel from the outlet and a cheque of `3.85 lakh was issued in this regard to the Civil Supplies Corporation authorities," he added.
The 'Kozhikode model of payment' will be introduced for the diesel bought from the Supplyco outlet.
According to this system, the payment for a day's fuel will be given the following day. "At present, the depot has 110 schedules and 105 buses. No trip was cancelled in the depot over the issue of fuelling. Some buses have been taken off the road for repair work. Apart from that all buses in the depot are operational," Muhammed said.
It is learnt that the Supplyco's pump has a capacity of 40,000 litres of diesel and the KSRTC depot will be in need of 8,000 to 9,000 litres of diesel daily and unless there is an issue with the supply of diesel to the pump by the oil company, there will not be any hitches in the fuel supply to the transport corporation.

The inspiration behind this sculpture has been with me for a long time and has appeared less overtly in some of my other works, paintings etc. With this piece I wanted to try and capture the power and intensity of passion between two men. I find much of the current homoerotic art is often quite brutal and aggressive and I wanted a sense of equality and tenderness to be present between the two lovers. It is more difficult to do this in bronze I think than in a painting, though there is always that aspect of being able to touch and interact with a sculpture that you can't do with a painting and I really appreciate that about the medium.
I have done the men standing on pink triangles both as a political reminder of the bitter past, but also as a symbol that their love is no longer controlled by law or government, at least not in this country( New Zealand). But they still stand apart because in my experience for same sex partners, generally it is still safer that physical expressions of affection remain out of public view.
I hope their sexual arousal evokes a visceral response in the viewer and conveys the raw passion they experience. I suppose in some ways it is an open statement of aspects of my private world.

I picked it up while sifting through books at Salvation Army and got it without knowing anything about it but I loved the artwork and wanted to show my kids 5" disks. I was busy and never looked it up. If I could've gotten $50 for it at the time . . . I would've taken it.
When the Wasteland II announcement was news my son mentioned it (he reads constantly but isn't a gamer--although he is addicted to Minecraft) . . . and I went "hmmm, what was that game that I found last year?" I put it on Amazon for $250 and I had an interested buyer (from Norway) but he said I was overpriced . . . but would buy it for $170. He also said I should watch ebay to see how overpriced I was. So, I saw a PC version top out over $400 and put mine on ebay.
I caught a BIN at $350. I think I undersold it but I can't complain.
! I sold mine for around $50 shipped.
I loved the artwork on it and had a sneaking suspicion that I should have kept it.

Nice, I knew a guy who was in that movie. Haven't spoken to him recently. As far as I know, he could be dead.

They could just be retailers. Some people do it with toys or makeup, some people do it with adult products. I know this gal who runs a business out of her van and she drives around selling various dildos and vibrators. The town won't let her open up a storefront, but she's probably better off this way anyway.
Honestly it looked like someone bought out a store and got these in a lot, if that is not the case, then I really don't want to know what was going on in that house especially since there were so many..

We have several stores here that deal in these sorts of things, so maybe they got a discount on the store's older merchandise, or the store just gave it to them, as these boxes appeared to be older, or they were just retailers of that sort of thing at one point in their life and wanted to get rid of remaining stock. Now if it was used items that would be a different story... fortunately I have never seen anyone around here trying to sell used ones..
I agree that she is probably better off just driving around, it costs gas money but opening up a store here if you are not a major retailer or a business that has already established themselves in the area 30 years ago seems to be something that does not last and becomes very costly very quickly. Most new independent businesses close up here within just a few months of opening.

Nice pickup on the Xbox. I've been looking for one myself. The only one I've seen this year had the cables and one controller, no games, for $50. Kind of hard to haggle that down.
What price when u looking for? I have one that I barely use. its in great condition. Im not sure how many controllers, but i do have the S and the big controllers. PM me.
PS, how much would it cost to ship it?

Funny. I've played my copy of the Arcade Party Pak on at least my two PS3 slims.
I figured out the deal with Party Pack: Smash TV and Rampage work okay (as well as the developer interviews) but the screen gets muddled / locks up on Toobin' and some of the no-name games. It reminds me a lot of how an NES game behaves with dirty contacts--really weird since it's not like how ps1 games usually freeze.

I've just picked up some random stuff the last few weeks...including this.
Bravo on the Bravia!
Not much going on here. I hit over 40 sales last week buying maybe 100 books and media items but only these games of note:
$1 each at separate sales.
Happy to find a Game Boy player disc (which I can wed to a player I have) and
The 3 PS1 games came at a last sale on Sat. that I almost drove right past (looked slim) but I did spot a grungy looking PSX with some poor-looking games but then I spotted the MK4 and Crash (amongst sports games) and then the FF. I pitched $3 for all . . . seller asked $3 each . . . so we settled on $6.

Thanks schultzed. It really is an inspiration to start going through the backlog, heh. You got some nice games too...these days I'm looking for anything developed by From Soft so I'd love to find King's Field.
Sales have been pretty miserable around here (well, besides the TV lol) but if I get anything at all this week I'll post up my recent games and media finds.

I am still deciding if I am going to my friend's mom's wake today. She was a nice lady, but I would have to get my haircut and it may be awkward since my friend's wife (GF when I knew her) doesn't like me. I also haven't seen my friend for about 10 years, but I would see his Mom once a week at the library.

Went to another sale and sadly saw a lady walking away with an xbox 360 and a stack of like 20 games.......good titles too as for what I could see..halo 3, soul calibur, rock band...didnt et a glimpse of the others too good but didnt see any blaring white spines indicating no sports titles. Didnt get to find out how much she paid...im hoping she paid a lot because I would feel even worse if she got it cheap. Hell even if she paid $100 itd be nice flip for the majority of the items.
Came across a sale with like 20 ps1 games..$1 a piece. I grabbed the non sports titles...7 of them and asked if they'd take $5. They agreed. this was the same sale with the halo xbox.
Another sale had like 10 360 games..alll marked $10..........nothing to point out really except they wanted $10 for Kinect Adventures........lol.............good luck with that. Only game that interested me in the pile was Lost Planet...I asked if theyd take $5 and they did...not a super deal..but decent.
Final sale worth noting is one that had ps3 and ds items. Apparently there were like 20+ ps3 and ds games earlier in the day including new super mario bros. wish i had gotten there earlier. :(
though the prices werent the greatest. the games that were left were marked $5,$10,and $15. 4 games caught my eye.....pokemon heart gold, pokemon heart silver, mario and luigi: bowser's story, and little big planet goty. The 3 ds games were marked $15 each and LBP was $10. Ased if she would take $40 for the 4 and she did...........decent deal..again nothing spectacular but better then buying them at say gamestop. Oh and also bought a ds lite for $20...in great condition...so that made it all worth it.
Hoping I get a call back on that Pikachu n64 though and that its a good price. oh and thats a Green Day cd I bought for $1 pictured with the ps1 games

DS Lite was $12, Grandia, Squirtle, and sealed Creepy Crawlers set were each $1. All from different sales, nothing really noteworthy about any of them. Passed on a lot of junk xbox/ps2 games, and got beat to a pokemon card collection by about 3 or 4 minutes.
Thanks to this thread for pointing this Hero Quest game out recently; I probably would have passed on it otherwise. It's complete with all pieces (1 or 2 are chipped, but its in great, complete shape otherwise). Will try to Craigslist it for $60.
Same sale, I dumbly passed on a Teletubbies plush lot that I could have made $50 or $60 on (realized after looking it up later). So I stop by Monday after work and see that a lot of their stuff is left in their yard under a big tarp. I ring their doorbell and ask if I can take a looksie, they say go for it. They also go on to say that everything is going to the dump, so take whatever I want. Though the teletubbies are long gone, I proceed to haul all of the books and cds left to the local used book store for $120 in credit.
I normally try to sell items on my own without trading them into middlemen, but these items were low value books and CDs. I don't have time to list, pack, and ship a book/CD to make $2 or $3 on it. Instead, i'll convert the credit to games (their game prices tend to be fair for a physical store, at or a little less than online), and sell those. This find ended up being my find of the week; hope I can beat it this Saturday.

Went to about 15 sales or so today, and not much in the way of games. Passed on some $5 PS2 games and a $40 slim PS2.
There is a sale tomorrow that is an extra 20 minutes away advertising a nes, snes, and ps1 with games. Hoping I can get there early and not waste a trip.
Also, nice finds this week! Those DKC boxes are nice.

Thinking about flipping them both. From the research I've done I think I can sell the Game Boy for about $25-35 and the TV for $10-15. Not sure about Brain Bender since it doesn't seem to be found many places on the internet. Any ideas?

DeBoer: Ruling on kicked-in goal "made sense"; Henrique notches first NHL point in final seconds
The Devils were already off to sloppy start before the first big break of the game went against them in their 5-3 loss tonight to Phoenix Coyotes.
It came on a goal credited to Patrick O'Sullivan 6:18 into the game. Devils goaltender Johan Hedberg had made one save on a left circle shot from David Schlemko and another stop on Daymond Langkow's rebound effort before O'Sullivan tried to kick the loose puck to his stick in front. The puck never got to O'Sullivan's stick, though, as it deflected off the stick of a diving Devils defenseman Bryce Salvador (and possibly O'Sullivan's other leg) before entering the net.
After lengthy video review, the goal was allowed to stand under Rule 49.2 (ii).
The official explanation from the NHL Situation Room stated: "At 6:18 of the first period in the Devils/Coyotes game, video review upheld the referee's call on the ice that Coyotes forward Patrick O'Sullivan kicked the puck with his skate off Devils defenseman Bryce Salvador's stick into the net for a goal. Under rule 49.2 "a kicked puck that deflects off the stick of any player (excluding the goalkeeper's stick) shall be ruled a good goal." Good goal Phoenix."
The Devils seemed to accept the ruling because it followed what rule book.
"The explanation I got made sense," Devils coach Pete DeBoer said. "They said he kicked it, but because it hit Salvador's stick after he kicked it, it counted. If it had hit the goalie and gone in after the kick then it wouldn't have (counted). So, that's the rule. It made sense and it looked like that to me."
"You see that he kicked it, but it went off a leg and then my stick or something," Salvador said. "That nullifies it. …That's the rule I guess. If it hits (the stick) before it goes in the net, that's the rule."
Goaltender Johan Hedberg thought the goal wouldn't count, though, as he we waiting for the outcome of the video review.
"It's tough," Hedberg said. "I felt like they were not going to allow it and seeing the replay right after the goal, I was like, 'They're definitely not going to allow it.' But I guess the people in Toronto have different views and I can't see them having it wrong in those situations when they have that time to take a look at it."
Overshadowed in the defeat was rookie center Adam Henrique's first NHL point. It came on Nick Palmieri's goal with 6.4 seconds remaining that closed out the scoring. Henrique won the offensive zone draw from Phoenix's Andy Miele and got the puck to Palmieri for a quick shot from the right circle that beat goaltender Mike Smith inside the far post.
"Bittersweet, I guess, but it's nice to get it out of the way," Henrique said of his point.
Henrique had several more good scoring chances tonight, but couldn't find a way to get the puck in the net for his first NHL goal. His line with Mattias Tedenby and David Clarkson generated several good chances, but, as noted by DeBoer, got caught on the ice on a long shift on Raffi Torres' goal with 48.8 seconds left in the second that put the Coyotes ahead for good.
"I had a couple chances again tonight," Henrique said. "We've just got to keep at it and keep pushing forward and have a good game in Dallas."
The Devils close out this string of four consecutive road games Saturday against the Stars. They are 1-2-0 so far, getting outscored 9-4 in the two losses to Pittsburgh (4-1) and Phoenix (5-3) and winning 3-0 in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Meet Marieke Hardy, co-founder of the live series Women of Letters. Along with fellow Aussie writer Michaela McGuire, the duo created an intimate show that has placed everyone from notable actresses to what Marieke likes to call "dark horses" on stage with their missives. Here, the self-proclaimed writer to "anybody and everybody" shares about a special postcard project, legendary Australian feminists and why you won't be able to download the show's podcast (and why that's a good thing).
Michaela and Marieke
When did your interest in the epistolary world begin?
I was a voracious letter writer in my 20s. I would write to anybody and everybody: Politicians, passerby, the company who made my favourite lipstick. I liked to write thank you cards; I felt there were too many complaint letters in the world. (To everybody who received a weird 'I really love your muesli!' card from me in the 90's, you're welcome!) These days I have lots of secret postcard projects, and obviously Women of Letters means we have to keep the flame alive!

Nashua police said a 48-year-old man was arrested for making a false bomb threat.
Mark Sacco was accused of calling a Boston news station in June and saying he planned to blow up the Dalianis House in Nashua, a facility that provides shelter for homeless veterans.
When officers arrived, they determined the bomb threat was hoax. After an investigation, they arrested Sacco for making a false report.

text: TOKYO (MarketWatch) -- Analysts at Goldman Sachs said in a note Thursday they remained bullish on Japanese car makers on a 12-month investment horizon, despite the risk of shortfalls in semiconductors due to Japan's March 11 earthquake. They estimated a 3.4% shortage in auto microcontrollers, which could lead to greater declines in auto production and estimated a 10-20% risk of near-term share-price declines. But they also cited "potential for solid 12-month investment returns" at Subaru maker Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. 7270, -2.09% FUJHF, -1.38% Honda Motor Co. 7267, -1.08% HMC, +0.07% and Nissan Motor Co. 7201, -0.55% NSANY, -0.12% Toyota Motor Corp. 7203, -1.13% TM, +1.04% has "limited potential upside," but its shares were expected to "remain firm," the analysts said.

From Hell (Special Edition)
At the end of the 19th Century, London is terrorised by a brutal murderer who soon get the nickname "Jack The Ripper" who leaves no traces and kills his victims (primarily hookers) with the precision of a surgeon. In despair, the police turn to Fred Abberline (Depp), an inspector who's hooked on Opium but who has psychic powers which might come in handy to track the brutal murderer.
During his investigation , Abberline comes into contact with a prostitude called Mary Kelly, a friend of one of the victims and slowly but steadily he is falling in love with her. Meanwhile his chase of Jack the Ripper is proceeding pretty good but when he gets closer to the truth, he realises that the Ripper is going after Mary Kelly while his superiors are doing all they can to obstruct his investigations.
Sound and Vision:
Except for some edge enhancement which doesn't really become visible in the dark parts of the screen (and a lot of the film is very dark so it's not really disturbing) the quality of the image is high with good detail, contrast and sharpness. Also no grain, aliasing nor compression errors are spotted. It's clear that the transfer was taken from a recent copy.
Same goes for the soundtrack which constantly uses the surround channels for creating a very populated atmosphere of London in the 1800's by using loads and loads of effects. Really cool.
A special edition isn't called that without a reason so we get a buttload of extra stuff on this dvd to start off with an audio commentary track with the directors, Robbie Coltrane, writer Rafael Yglesias and Peter Deming (cinematographer). To conclude the first disc we get no less than 21 deleted scenes (with commentary).
The second disk starts off with a documentary which tells about the different theories about Jack the Ripper while "Production Design" and "Tour of the Murder Sites" are short documentaries about the sets they've made to create the movie. "Graphic Novel" is a featurette which tells the difference between the comic where "From Hell" is based on and the final movie while "Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder" gives some more information on this alcoholic beverage which is drunk a lot in the movie. We end with "A View From Hell", a promotional "Making Of".
A very dark movie about a very dark figure from the history of England, completed with a whole bunch of extras which give this dvd an additional reason to buy it

- Depending on your hire date, group health care and dental coverage may be maintained for eligible retirees, with a University contribution based on the full-time equivalent (FTE) service months at the time of retirement. When an individual is actively employed, the University contribution level is determined based on employment percent, i.e., an employee is considered half-time if they work 50 - 64.9%;three-quarter time if they work 65-89.9%; full-time if they work 90-100%. In retirement, the contribution level is based on accrued FTE service months. The charts below indicate the number of FTE service months required to receive the various University contribution levels.
- Support staff hired on or after July 1, 2002 and prior to July 1, 2010, who subsequently meet the minimum retirement requirements will receive a University contribution toward health care and dental coverage for the retiree only. The retiree may pay the applicable premium to cover eligible dependents.
- For faculty and academic staff hired on or after July 1, 2005 and prior to July 1, 2010, the University will contribute* to the lowest cost health plan's single rate for which the employee/retiree is eligible. At retirement, the employee must designate whether the employee receives the University contribution or whether the contribution is to be split 50/50 between the employee and his/her spouse. This designation is irrevocable regardless of circumstance, including returning to work or death. The designation of the 50/50 contribution is also non-transferable to future spouses.
- For faculty, academic staff, and support staff hired on or after July 1, 2010, who subsequently meet the minimum retirement requirements may elect to continue coverage for the retiree, spouse, and eligible dependents by paying the applicable premium.
- Please review Other Eligible Individuals (OEI) for applicability to the items listed above.

- Retirees and dependents over age 65 are required to be covered under Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B, if eligible.
- Dental coverage can be maintained at 100% (50% by the deceased retiree's dental plan and 50% as the surviving spouse's plan). Employee-Paid Life coverage for the employee and eligible dependent(s) may be maintained until the retiree reaches age 70. To maintain this coverage, retirees must make payments to MSU Human Resources Benefits.
- A University-paid life benefit is provided for individuals who participated in the Employee-Paid Life program prior to July 1, 1976 (July 1, 1977 for AFSCME 1585 and 999), and continued to participate until age 65 or retirement, whichever occurs first.
- Retiring University support staff may be eligible for a payoff of unused sick leave and a prorated longevity payment in the year of retirement, as described in the policies for those programs.
- Other miscellaneous benefits (e.g. parking permit) detail can be found at Retirement Information & Helpful Hints.
- Contributions to Flexible Spending Accounts cease at retirement.
- Please review Other Eligible Individuals (OEI) for applicability to the items listed above.
Creditable service toward retirement:
The following points clarify how additional creditable service is determined in special circumstances.
An employee who returns to the University more than 12 months after terminating may apply to receive credit for past service after working for five continuous years at half time or more. Prior service credit will only be applied toward retirement vesting requirements and has no impact on pension benefits, vacation accrual, longevity, etc.
Leaves of absence will be considered continuous service and not breaks in employment.
Breaks in employment of up to one year will be bridged. Creditable service will then go back to the prior date of employment.
Employment as a student, graduate assistant, or post doc does not count toward retirement eligibility.
Note: University support staff should contact MSU Human Resources Benefits regarding computation of creditable service and faculty, academic staff and executive management should contact Academic Human Resources.
Application for retirement:
- All eligible employees should submit a University Retirement Request Form from the EBS Portal at least 90 days before their retirement date. On the ESS (Employee Self Service) tab in the EBS Portal, select Benefits, then under the Retirement Information section at the bottom of the page select the University Retirement Request Form. Complete the Form and submit.
- A response is sent to the employee once the Form has been reviewed.
- Contact your Investment Vendor directly to inquire about retirement income forms and options.
Note: Employees will receive a letter from MSU Human Resources Benefits confirming the employee's retirement date and a summary of their retirement benefits.
Department: Notification is sent to the employee's supervisor.
