"Crafted from guitar, piano, electronics and homemade beats, each track is set within a frame of flourishing musical activity. Ultre's second album is an elegant, bold & extravagant example of modern composition. Ultre is Finn McNicholas, a touring musician who has been in demand ever since his first album "All The Darkness Has Gone To Details" (shortlisted for the Arts Foundation 'electro-acoustic composition'), sold out within three weeks. Ultre has performed live with Tim Exile, DJ Scotch Egg and Trencher and recently been commissioned to write a musical score for Opera North. Whilst Ultre's first album was built on a piano foundation, this one see's Finn return to the guitar. The energy of the performance combined with his string, piano and electronic work conjures up a picture of busy modernism with contrasting nostalgic undertones. There is an absence of Digital Signal Processing & effects within the music, with most of the sounds created live in the recording (often using a homemade microphone)." (label info)

Irvine- Kula revolving sushi bar
Kula Sushi Bar
2700 Alton Parkway, Suite 133
Irvine, CA 92606
(949) 553-0747
I first read about Kula from Eileen Likes to Eat. The idea of a revolving sushi bar made me super excited. I know that they exist, but I've never had the pleasure of going to one. The cheap prices made me want to try this place even more. It's located in the same plaza as the bakery I frequent, 85C.
So Boyfriend and I took a short road trip to go check it out. It looked even cooler in real life. Basically there is a moving belt that runs around the sushi restaurant, carrying small plates of food. You can sit at the bar, or at the tables inside, which also are aligned up against the revolving sushi bar. Here's the view from the sushi bar:
Here's the view from our table:
Almost everything is $2 a plate. There are some things on the menu that you can order as well that aren't on the sushi bar, such as hand rolls and ice cream.
The $2 a plate makes it easier to try everything without worrying about spending too much. Which was a good thing for me because seeing so much food pass right before me kept making me forget that I was paying for each plate of food. I kept thinking I was at a buffet. hehe. And it was really hard to resist passing up on such pretty sushi plates.
You stack your finished plates on your table, and at the end, the waiter will count the plates and add up the total. Now onto the food. With the cheap prices, I wasn't expecting top quality sushi. I was just hoping for some good tasting cheap sushi.
We were given fresh wasabi with our food. I was surprised that they served fresh wasabi. Boyfriend really enjoyed the kick of the wasabi.
Now onto the food:
Crunchy roll:
It was pretty tasty. I enjoy crunchy rolls. The sweet sauce, the crunchy toppings and the shrimp tempura inside.
Seared scallop:
The scallop was lightly seared, allowing you to taste both cooked and raw scallop. I liked this.
Crunchy salmon roll
A crunchy roll with cooked salmon inside. Not exactly my favorite but mainly because I'm not a big fan of cooked salmon in my sushi rolls.
Spicy tuna roll:
This was a pretty standard tasting spicy tuna roll.
Spicy tuna with quail egg:
I loved how this dish looked and I've never had a raw quail egg so I was excited to try this. Unfortunately, I don't know what I did with my quail egg. I think I might have swallowed it whole because I didn't taste any yolk. Next time I should separate the egg yolk out so I can taste it.
Crunchy rice topped with imitation crab
I thought this dish was pretty unique as I've never seen it before. They had a couple of variations of toppings on the crunchy rice. It wasn't what I expected at first, but I ended up liking it. The rice is really hard and chewy and a bit salty, but I think I would like to snack on something like this.
There was only one of these per $2 plate.
Spicy tuna crunchy roll. Boyfriend liked this a lot
Rainbow roll:
I didn't try this. Boyfriend said it was just okay.
Salmon roll:
I don't think I tried this either.
Botan ebi
This was my favorite dish. The shrimp was sweet. The head was deep fried so that you could eat the entire head.
Octopus (Tako)
Chewy, but about the same quality as ones I get at buffets.
Sake soy marinated tuna
Another dish I've never seen before. I don't quite remember how it tasted
We ended with the mochi. I've never had this type of mochi, but i enjoyed it. I mochi pieces were soft, gel like and chewy. The peanut powder added the sweetness needed for the mochi.
I had a fun experience. I once saw a revolving sushi bar on a Japanese cartoon and I've been wanting to go ever since. I wish there was one in San Diego. My attention definitely was on the revolving sushi bar the whole time. Even after I was completely full, I kept staring at the plates passing me by. Boyfriend had a hard time getting me to pay attention to anything else. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other plates we didn't get to sample.

Oh that looks like so much fun! The portion for $2 seems pretty decent.
I went a revolving sushi once in Little Tokyo LA – it was so-so.
Is there one in San Diego? I think i saw one in PB years ago.
Wonderful pics Miss Kirbie! Now you're making me want sushi for lunch…
I heard Kubuki Sushi in PB has a sushi boat. I've never been though. Too bad the one in Little Tokyo was just so-so. The cool thing about Kula is the entire restaurant is based on this revolving sushi bar theme. Some restaurants have it only at the bar, but this one runs across the entire restaurant and most of the menu items are on the belt. I also like how they have so many nigiri offerings.
I read some reviews on Kabuki and saw some pics online – but yeah – it looks nothing like Kula! When i saw your pics for the scallop and amaebi I was really shocked. I've never seen the higher priced items on the revolving sushi belt thing. And the times I've tried revolving sushi, the quality of the sushi hasn't been all that great.
Question (I just realized this after re-reading your post) – what's the difference b/c amaebi vs botan ebi? I've never heard of botan ebi. Are they both the same?
I hope to find a Kula here in SD soon. That would be awesome.
i heard there was one in PB also. Maybe it's not there anymore.
Your images and story are mouthwatering though.
I was really happy with all the nigiri options. We didn't even try most of them, so next time I go I definitely want to try more. I think the difference between botan ebi and amaebi is that amaebi are smaller. They had amaebi platter as well, with two smaller sweet shrimp. The one in the pictures was one big one with the fried head. I would love it if they had a Kula in SD!
The one I heard of in PB is Kabuki. Never been though. Not sure if there are others. I think there used to be one in downtown La Jolla but it closed.

Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station Deputies are preparing a criminal complaint against the person who hacked into Sean Spalla's YouTube account and posted gory, pornographic pictures and threats, a sheriff's deputy said.
The complaint comes eight days after YouTube helped Spalla shut down the vandalized page.
Deputies plan to file an identity-theft complaint with the District Attorney's office by Friday, said Valencia High School Resources Deputy Pete Romo.
The D.A. determines whether to file criminal charges, he said.
"I was shocked to see what was posted because it was very graphic," Romo said.
The federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act prohibits an individual from intentionally accessing an online account without authorization.
Romo declined to comment on whether a suspect has been identified or whether misdemeanor or felony charges will be filed.
Hackers changed Spalla's password Dec. 12 and within a week they posted the offensive content.
The altered password kept Spalla from accessing the account and deleting the page, he said.
The pictures were gone Jan. 5, but hackers created a link that took visitors to another page with the same bloody and pornographic pictures, said Karee Spalla, Sean Spalla's mother.
"This is traumatizing for Sean. He just wants to be a normal kid," said Karee Spalla.
The three-week battle with YouTube to fix the page left Sean Spalla, a Valencia high special-education student, short on sleep and anxious about returning to school, Karee Spalla said.
"He didn't want to go on. He told me once that he was thinking about killing himself, but I told him no. Sean would take my heart with him if he did that," Karee Spalla said.
YouTube told the Spallas to create a username, password and flag the site.
The flagging feature alerts YouTube technicians to problems, said Scott Rubin, Google spokesman. Google owns YouTube.
Karee Spalla balked at creating a new user name and password claiming password protection created the original problem.
Jeff Lasater - founder of Project 51 and father of Jeremiah Lasater, the boy who killed himself in a Vasquez High School bathroom Oct. 20 - contacted Karee Spalla to offer support.
Lasater founded Project 51 to help schools, parents and children battle bullies.
"We are going to fight this for as long as needed," he said.

by Jackie Collins
Beautiful celebrity journalist Madison Castelli, the plucky heroine of Jackie Collins's L.A. Connections series, makes a return appearance here, but this time all the news is breaking in Madison's own life. Her ex-boyfriend is back, begging forgiveness. Her new beau is mysteriously out of touch. Her best friend, Jamie Nova, thinks her husband is cheating on her. And her doting father is suddenly a man with a ton of secrets.
That's just the beginning of the intrigue in the latest bawdy, boisterous lustfest from Collins, Adding to the melodrama are Mob princess Rosarita Falcon, who's looking to off her sweet soap-opera-star hubby; Joel Blaine, the trust-fund playboy with a yen for public sex; and bighearted stripper Varoomba, who's looking to settle down with the mobster of her dreams. The kooky cast ultimately converges on a Las Vegas boxing match where all the gloves come off.
Collins has never been one to let reality get in the way of a good, juicy story. But her sex scenes are still riotous, and her wickedly warped worldview makes for laugh-out-loud summertime reading. (Simon & Schuster, $26)

WALL — The incremental progress with the Robbinsville High School field hockey team is easy enough to chart.
The Ravens' first varsity season was in 2006. The following year brought their first NJSIAA Tournament appearance. Fast-forward to this season, and the Ravens broke down the door to an NJSIAA sectional final, taking the field at top-seeded Wall Monday.
The next measure of progress, however, will have to wait for a different group. Wall, which last captured a sectional title in Central Jersey Group III in 2010, Monday won the Central Jersey Group II crown by a 3-0 margin over the Ravens.
"If we're going to go out, we went out to an amazing team," Robbinsville head coach Alyssa Dragon said.
That much is for sure. Wall had won five sectional titles before Robbinsville High School even existed. The Crimson Knights added three more since, from 2008-10, and now have another. The marquee out front of the school congratulated the team's head coach Nancy Gross, on her 500th win, which she achieved on Oct. 31.
That it was going to be Wall's day was apparent early. Bernadette Crehan scored for Wall before the game was three minutes old, and Mary Cate Gallagher knocked another one in with less than nine minutes before halftime.
As much as the play was at Wall's attacking end of the field, that would have been enough, but Sam Scire added the final tally for the Crimson Knights with 10 minutes to play.
Dragon, in her first year as Robbinsville's head coach after taking over for Naoma Cordi, came over from a Hunterdon Central program that was a North Jersey II sectional champion as recently as 2011.
That, however, is in the past, and so was Robbinsville's history before Dragon's arrival, she said.
"I came into this season not really looking at last year, not really looking at any of my players' stats from last year," Dragon said. "I wanted to give everybody a fresh start."
Even within the season itself, the NJSIAA Tournament resembled a fresh start, too. Dragon said the Ravens were unsatisfied with their quarterfinal exit from the Mercer County Tournament at the hands of the Pennington School, putting the Ravens on a layoff of more than a week before Robbinsville began the state tournament with a 5-1 win over Pemberton on Nov. 1.
When they hit the field again next season, the Ravens will be without three starters, including forward Cassie Condit and midfielders Rachel Hoffman and Cate Tizzano. But, Dragon said she was encouraged by all the young talent Robbinsville can return next season, when the sting from coming up one game short of a sectional title won't be as fresh.
"Half of our starting lineup was basically sophomores, so I think that coming into next season, we're going to have a lot of experience, and I think that's really going to help us," Dragon said. "I don't think anything's going to be easy. We have a lot of great players coming back. Even the girls who didn't play as much this season, they have the potential to be amazing, great players. We had a bunch of freshmen that played with us in the postseason that are very talented, and I know that coming in next year as sophomores, they're going to be impact players."

The crucible of
innovation in corporate real estate is a non-descript
office building in San Jose, Calif. Inside, Mark Golan
is redefining the relationship between worker and work
Golan is a thought leader in re-envisioning the
workplace. A vice president of worldwide real estate
and workplace resources for Cisco Systems, he was
recently appointed chairman of CoreNet Global, a
professional association of corporate real estate
executives. At Cisco, he manages about 160 employees
and oversees 17 million square feet around the
world. His objectives: cut costs, enhance
productivity and boost employee satisfaction.
Ciscos renowned Building 14, in San Jose, Calif.,
functions not only as Golans center of operations
but a living lab for his ideas. Network of
Space spoke to him in early December.
Network of Space: What does Workplace Resources
MG: The purpose of WPR is to acquire space,
manage the services that take place, handle the
construction, build what needs to be built. It also
entails the design of the work environment. When you
talk about the work environment, you have an impact
on worker productivity and the companys culture.
That needs to be thought through pretty carefully.
NoS: How do you view the changing nature of work?
Youve said elsewhere that its more
collaborative and untethered. Please
MG: The nature of work has changed over the
past 30-plus years from the typical office, where
people are heads down all day long, to where its
predominantly collaborative: people interacting with
people in different ways. Today, most work is
collaborative or done on the run. People spend most
of their day in meetings. They rarely have the
chance to sit down and do e-mail or voice mail. They
do it in the car, off BlackBerries, inside the
little white spaces in their schedules.
Our infrastructure [at Cisco] is our laptop and
web-enabled applications. Connectivity is everywhere
for us. Were 100-percent wireless within the
campus. Every employee, bar none, has a wireless set
up at the house. We pay for broadband. As long as
you have that laptop and connectivity, it doesnt
make a bit of difference if youre sitting at your
couch at home or in the office.
NoS: How does the new style of work affect the
way you design offices?
MG: If you were an office designer 30 or 40
years ago, and you were told that 80 percent of the
time an individual would be sitting by themselves,
and to be productive they needed all these physical
things phone lines, typewriters, copying
machines, secretaries -- it made total sense to
design offices in cubes.
The problem is the technology and nature of work
have changed but the work environment hasnt.
Offices are very poorly utilized. Im talking true
utilization, not seat assignment. The metric used in
corporate real estate has been the wrong one. You
can say a building was 100 percent occupied but
you really mean it was 100 percent assigned. When
you measure utilization, the metrics are pretty
abysmal. We find that utilization runs about 40
percent in a 100-percent occupied building.
Traditional offices dedicate 70 percent of their
space to cubes. Today, the cubes are mostly empty
while people fight over conference rooms because
theres not nearly enough collaborative space. The
work environment is very broken. For most companies
the second-largest operating expense after salaries
is real estate. Real estate is the longest long-term
asset on the balance sheet. To say its being
utilized at 40 percent is an amazing statement.
Its an enormous area of waste.
Even more importantly, [outmoded offices breed]
active resistance to the kinds of behaviors youre
trying to promote. Every company talks about the
important of collaboration and teamwork. Theyll
have big meetings to talk about this then
everyone disperses to their offices and cubes to
make sure it never happens. Not only are you wasting
a lot of money, youre damaging working
NoS: If everyone has laptops, cell phones and
Virtual Private Networks if everyone is
untethered, as you say why have central offices
at all?
MG: Why do people come to work still?
Thats a question that needs to be asked more than
it is. When I ask that question of people, I
generally get two answers. One is, they say. I
need to go to meetings. Theres an underlying
assumption that interactions are best done face to
face. The other thing is, I need to socialize.
People dont like to feel isolated. They want to
feel like part of the team and the company. Those
social interactions foster trust, understanding and
belongingness. Theyre done best face to face. We
havent reached the point where social
relationships can be developed at a distance.
Ask people what their most notable experiences in a
work setting theyll oftentimes describe some
scenario where they were given a ridiculous task,
banded together and worked insane hours. There was
no work-life balance. It was everything youd
think would make them miserable. But they remember
it fondly because they banded together as a group
and collectively brought this thing down. That
ultimately becomes fun.
People complain that work isnt fun. We
often misconstrue what that means more beer
parties on Friday afternoon. That can help. But a
fun job is one where you feel empowered, youre in
a very social environment, youre learning from
your colleagues, youre working together to
accomplish something.
NoS: So, you think there are limits to which
technology can overcome the human instinct for
face-to-face interactions?
MG: There probably are limits but I dont
think were there yet. Any time a company has
attempted to virtualize their organization, that has
led to a mercenary corporate culture. People feel no
loyalty or connection to the team. We are inherently
social beings. We were evolutionarily designed that
way. We have to think long and hard before we break
that down too much.
But norms are changing. Youre seeing changes
between the generations. People are coming of an age
today who only knew a world with computers, with
Instant Messaging. How they interact with one
another is very different from how the baby boomers
interact. Theyre more used to holding three
conversations simultaneously with each other through
IM. Theyll be more able to foster concepts of
belongingness over distance. But Im still
skeptical that were all the way there. Were
programmed and conditioned as human beings to
socially interact.
Were working at Cisco with tele-presence
extremely high-end video conferencing. Picture
sitting at a circular conference table. Youre
sitting on one side of the table. On the other side
are large plasma screens with images that blend into
the table it looks like youre all sitting at
the same table. The people are full-size, high-def.
You can make eye contact. You hear directional
sound. Theyre looking at you and vice versa. Real
motion, real time. Psychologically, if someone asked
you a day later if you were in the physical presence
of someone, what would you say? Emotionally, it was
almost like a face-to-face. That kind of technology
will help tear down some of the barriers to distance
cooperation. What you dont get: You cant go to
lunch with people after the meeting. There are no
spontaneous, unstructured interactions.
Maybe bandwidth will be so cheap one day that
well be able to talk to each other all day like
were in the same room. I can envision a world
where that starts to happen.
NoS: You often speak of the 70 percent/30 percent
ratio of collaborative work to individual work.
Where do you get that number? Is that just Cisco?
MG: Its more an aggregate of peoples
office environments. It applies most to
office/sales/administrative workers. There are
exceptions: When youre talking about engineers,
youre talking about different work practices.
When youre talking about software designers, they
sit down for hours and write code.
The more senior you get, the more you become a
manager. A culture of status has built up around
space that runs completely counter to workplace
realities. The people who are given the most
dedicated space executives are the ones who
need it least. At a certain level in the
organization, all you do is attend meetings.
At Building 14, I get no dedicated space of any
kind. I like to make an analogy with your home. You
dont go home to a cube. You go to a
multi-functional environment. You move around in
that environment and use it appropriately. Sometimes
youre with your family, sometimes youre with
friends, sometimes youre by yourself. Sometimes
youre in the kitchen, sometimes in the family
room. Its unstructured. It can be done on the
fly. Now, port that process to the workplace. The
family becomes the group of people you have to work
with. It can easily span organizational lines. It
allows a lot of flexibility. If the people you work
with change, you change the physical clustering. You
dont have to ask anyones permission. You just
choose another place.
Thats how weve been operating for three years
now. When you do that, you eliminate all the wasted
space. You take some of the [cubicle] space and
apply it to the collaborative zones. The other thing
you do is shrink the space and save money. You get a
NoS: How successfully have you migrated that
experience in Building 14 throughout the rest of
MG: Its been a slow roll out. Our idea has
been to prove the concepts
create prototypes
nail down the solution before we scale it. At this
point, weve got ten or twelve of these
environments through the [Cisco real estate]
portfolio. Some of these solutions are pretty well
baked. Now were looking to scale some of them. In
some areas, theyre clearly appropriate. In other
areas, they still need some work. If were working
with a Human Resources group, where people meet
privately and sometimes break down in tears, we
might design an environment with some hard-wall
spaces. Wed go with whats appropriate for that
We will not deploy space for status. If someone
wants to deploy space for status, we present them
with the price tag for that. If someone can make a
good enough case the only way can get some
talent is by having a private office well do
it. But theyll have to add the cost of office
space into their decision making.
NoS: You say that companies are wasting more than
60 percent of their space. Corporate America is
over officed, is it not?
MG: Most companies that have studied
utilization have found that their utilization rates
are poor. The rate will vary from place to place.
This is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Each
company has to make its own realistic assessment.
But the metrics used in the past were the wrong
metrics. Almost everyone who comes through Building
14 smiles and nods their heads. They say the same
thing: Their offices and cubes are empty and their
conference rooms are booked.
Generically, people stopped thinking about the work
environment a long time ago. They need to rethink
it. The cost and productivity costs are pretty high.
NoS: How does Cisco measure utilization?
MG: Its still a manual process. Weve
looked at a lot of automated ways. We can do things
like use wireless access points to triangulate where
someone is, with resolution within 25 to 30 feet.
That tells you if theyre in a given sector. But
it doesnt help if you want to know exactly what
theyre doing, or the technology theyre using.
If you want to know to know what people are doing
real time, you have to track them second by second.
We did a pilot [project] with ultra wide band, a
form of RFI. We deployed the sensors. People wore
the badges theyre not small. Its a little
trickier than people think. We had power management
problems. We got interference near metal objects,
like blinds and white boards people would walk
into these ghost zones. I have yet to see a really
robust, scalable solution that allows you to track
folks at a high level of granularity.
Another problem with automating utilization is you
run into privacy issues. People dont want to be
tracked at that level. You literally know, Oh,
they just went to the rest room. People arent
comfortable with that. In Europe, youd be
violating laws.
There are other ways of measuring utilization. You
can track people going in and out of points of
entry. The problem with just using badge data is
that you run into tailgating -- 30 to 40 percent of
the people who enter the building tailgate in
they come in at the same time. Three people get to
the door at the same time, they know each other,
they just walk in.
Is measuring utilization doable? Yeah, its
doable. If you put a gun to my head and gave me
enough people and money, could I get a system into
place that was working? Yeah, I think I could. Would
it be cost effective? Not with what we have today.
But there are some technologies were looking at
pretty hard.
One day, I can see you walking up to a desk in room
say, an audio privacy room. The room knows
its you. It changes the lighting levels to how
you like it, adjust the temperature and puts
pictures of your kids on the plasma screen. When you
leave, the room automatically re-sets for the next
person. [With that kind of technology], we could
pull up a map of the floor plan and see where your
dot is. I dont need to know what person is
associated with that dot and what group theyre
with what we really want is the utilization
statistics. Gather the information you need without
identifying the individual.
NoS: Last question, Mark, how well have you done
in Building 14 getting your utilization under
MG: Building 14 has about 25,000 square feet.
It was designed for 88 spaces. We took occupancy at
140, and the number now is roughly 160. But the
number is constantly changing were not sure
exactly how many people are using it. When are you
out of space? Its not black and white any more.
As you add more and more people, it gets tighter and
tighter. It gets harder to find the kind of
environment you need when you want it. At some point
it gets intolerable. But its a gradual process.
Right now were running at about a two-to-one
ratio compared to what the building was designed

Hi Technical Experts,
I would like to knnow how is impact analysis carried our for OSS note implementation.
Example SAP suggest to implement code correction through oss note how does one do impact analsysis of that note?
Another question is once I have implemented oss note and transfer to quality system wherein while testing I find that this code correction does not help.What normally is done for those transport request in Quality server? Is it de-implemented or deleted from there without relesing further to productive system?
Please share your experience and forward releants link if any
Please don't ask for links
OSS Notes can be considered, usually, as part of SAP standard - early implementations of support packs, if you will. Your impact analysis is really to check whether it fixes the problem. The impact of not implementing the note is remaining with the issue.
Only apply notes if you have a problem, and you think the note might correct it.
If the note doesn't fix the problem, you can reverse it, using transaction SNOTE. But usually that's just not necessary. After all, it's fixing something that has been clearly shown to be wrong. Remember that notes are SAP provided software and come with all the guarantees of that software.
That's my view of notes after 14 years of applying them - including before transaction SNOTE was invented!
Hi SB,
Need not to worry about your case, its quite common as there will be Pre-Required/Dependent notes.
For example, you are applying a note "Note 1" for "Problem XYZ".
Even though note "Note 1" is the correct solution to "Problem XYZ", There might be some dependent notes " Note X" to be applied as well, Once all the Pre-Required/Dependent/Required Notes are applied you can see the impact, (Impact = Solution).
And as Matt said, Notes are directly from SAP. So you can always stay with them.
-Dileep .C
SAP Notes are generally solution-guaranted. But still impact analysis should be considered. We had an instance when implementing SAP note had created dumps in the system and no one was able to execute anything and we had to bring the system down. In addition to the added note we also had to delete related notes to get everything working back. But this is a rare scenario.
Also, not all SAP notes related to your problem may be the solution to your problem. You need to do impact analysis and testing to which suits your needs. If the note that was implemented was not suitable, it can be deleted using transaction code SNOTE

You may already be aware of the nuclear cost recovery fee.
This is the hand-us-your-cash law that allows power companies to charge customers (and make a handsome profit) for nuclear power projects that may (or may not) be undertaken.
At last check, Florida residents had forked over roughly $2 billion to upgrade the Crystal River nuclear plant (which is now closed permanently) and build a Levy County plant (which exists only in theory).
In other words, your Legislature has allowed power companies to charge you $2 billion with virtually nothing to show for it. Sort of puts health care in perspective, doesn't it?
Not surprisingly, this nifty little law has worked out so well for the power companies that now Duke Energy apparently wants to supersize it.
One of the priorities for Duke's new CEO is being able to charge customers up-front for non-nuclear projects, too. This is according to an Associated Press report based on information from a Wall Street insider that Duke hasn't exactly shot down.
"That's pretty audacious, don't you think?'' asked state Rep. Dwight Dudley, D-St. Petersburg, who tried to get the nuclear cost recovery fee repealed earlier this year.
"I would like to know how, and why, consumers and ratepayers have been put in the shoes of investors financing these projects. Where are the shareholders in all of this?''
To be fair, there is some justification for these fees. It can be argued that ratepayers will save money in the long run because utilities won't have to borrow money — and thus pass along interest charges — to fund big projects.
This is the reasonable-sounding explanation given by self-serving power companies and subservient politicians.
The problem is the Legislature completely abdicated its responsibility in monitoring advance fees. Your state House and Senate set up a system so power companies had little risk, little responsibility and, really, little incentive to finish a nuclear project.
Since utilities are allowed to earn a profit on these up-front charges, it is actually in their best interests to drag their feet.
So what does this latest development mean for you?
I'm just spit balling here, but you might want to pass the word along to your legislators that you don't want them to roll over like puppies waiting for their bellies to be scratched every time a power company writes a campaign check.
"Oh my gosh,'' Dudley said, when I asked if the Legislature is inclined to rubber stamp any utility request. "That's the understatement of the century.''
(As an aside, Duke Energy recently tried to pass on to customers $326,000 in political contributions in North Carolina. Get it? They wanted customers to pay for campaign funds for politicians who, it could be assumed, were inclined to stick it to ratepayers.)
Just to be clear, I'm not trying to paint power companies as evil. They're just trying to maximize their profits.
What I am saying is ratepayers deserve better. They deserve a Public Service Commission that actually has some authority and courage. And they deserve politicians in Tallahassee who care more about their constituents than their benefactors.
Bottom line?
Eliminate the profits on advance construction fees or eliminate the fees altogether.

My Horizon Streetscape Story: Utrecht by Night2
I brought a digital Canon S95 compact camera to use as a light meter, and found out that when using a 400 iso film in the Horizon Perfekt, with the slowest shutter speed of 1/2 second and the largest aperture of f2.8, I could just capture properly exposed photos in the evening light. With this slow shutter speed you will have to rest your camera on a stable base, so for the picture above of the Utrecht city hall I used a garbarge can. Due to the angle of the garbage can it turned out into a pretty dynamic picture with our famous Dom tower in the far corner.
The second photo is taken on the Oudegracht, the most important shopping street in Utrecht with a canal in the middle. Directly next to the canal there are a lot of terraces, connected to various restaurants in the cellars under the street. The very wide angle of the Horizon camera allows to capture a nice panorama shot.
In the third picture you can see the Winkel van Sinkel: once a department store, later a bank office, and now a well-known bar-restaurant and nightclub in the centre of the city. The blue and red lights give some nice accents to this photo. All together, I was pretty surprised by the clear and sharp night pictures from my Horizon Perfekt. So I will be shooting more night photography in the city with my Horizon Perfekt in the near future, that's for sure!

NEEDLE biopsy of the parietal pleura received little attention until 1955, when DeFrancis et al1 described a technique in which a Vim-Silverman needle was used to establish a tissue diagnosis of tuberculosis in two of six patients with pleural effusion. Subsequently, pleural needle biopsy has been employed with increasing frequency as a diagnostic aid in the study of patients with pleural effusion. The apparent simplicity and safety of the procedure without morbidity or discomfort to the patient prompted us to pursue its routine use at the time of thoracentesis. This paper is an account of that experience in 124 patients with pleural effusion.

The term "Black Friday" came out of the old Philadelphia Police Department's traffic squad. The cops used it to describe the worst traffic jams which annually occurred in Center City on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
It was the day that Santa Claus took his chair in the department stores and every kid in the city wanted to see him. It was the first day of the Christmas shopping season.
Schools were closed. Late in the day, out-of-town visitors began arriving for the Army-Navy football game.

When a hectic pace slows in Englewood, Colo., where the Denver Broncos hold training camp, former Arizona State quarterback Brock Osweiler thinks back to where he was a year ago, and he can't help but be amazed.
"In fact, (former ASU receiver) Gerell Robinson is my roommate here at training camp, and we talk about that sometimes," Osweiler said in a telephone interview. "One year ago we were getting ready for fall camp at ASU, and there was so much anticipation for the season and we were talking Rose Bowl and there was a lot of excitement. But then that season flew by, the whole training process went by, and now I'm in football camp with the Denver Broncos. It's pretty surreal."
Surreal, indeed.
On April 27, the Broncos selected Osweiler, the only ASU quarterback to throw for 4,000 yards in a season, with the NFL draft's 57th pick. Since then, the quarterback has hung out with rapper Snoop Dogg, signed a four-year contract worth about $3.5 million and possibly jumped to No. 2 on Denver's depth chart behind Peyton Manning.
"I really couldn't be in a better situation," said Osweiler, who not only gets to learn from Manning but also Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway, who is the executive vice president of football operations with the Broncos. "I have absolutely no regret of leaving school (after his junior season). Just to be here, around my teammates and the coaching staff, and be a part of a great community, it truly is a great situation and I'm thankful for it."
Osweiler, 21, finished off-season team activities fourth on Denver's depth chart behind Manning, Adam Weber and Caleb Hanie, but on Sunday he earned reps with the second team. Osweiler realizes that the coaching staff likely is just testing him to see how much he can handle, but he embraces the opportunity. For now, he said his goal is to just learn the playbook and get as high on the depth chart as possible. He knows he has to be patient. He insists he's prepared.
"Fortunately, I've been in this situation before," Osweiler said. "My freshman year at ASU, we pretty much knew that Danny (Sullivan) was going to be the starter, so I just take those experiences and transfer them to here. I have been a backup before. I understand you still need to approach the game just like you were the starter. You need to get better every day. You need to study film. Your head needs to be in the playbook. Every rep counts at practice, even though you're not getting as many."
Manning, signed in the off-season, has been helpful. Osweiler said anytime he has a question, whether on the field or in a meeting, the four-time league MVP has been happy to answer. And if Manning sees something Osweiler is doing wrong, he doesn't hesitate to point it out. The biggest lesson the rookie has learned from Manning:
"How when you come to work, no matter what time you arrive in the morning and no matter what time you leave at night, you never waste a minute," Osweiler said. "He truly knows how to utilize every minute of the day."
Since draft day, Osweiler has had several "Welcome to the NFL" moments, but not all have come on the field. Earlier this month, he attended the ESPYs -- ESPN's annual awards show -- in Los Angeles. A couple of months earlier, he hung out with Snoop Dogg at a Lakers playoff game, his photo with the rap star popping up on the Internet.
"I was out in LA for the NFL Rookie Premiere, and my agent was able to get Trent Richardson, myself and (Robert Griffin III) tickets to the game,'' Osweiler said. "We bumped into Snoop Dogg, and he invited us up to his (luxury) box for the second half. Yeah, that was one of those (welcome) moments, but there have been a lot of things."
During camp, Osweiler will try to absorb as much as he can. Some NFL rookies say the biggest difference from college to pro is the game's speed. Osweiler disagrees.
"Without a doubt, it's all the information," he said. "The playbook is very thick. There are a lot of details that go into it. And those fine details that maybe you can kind of skip over in college and still be a great player, you can't skip over in this league and be successful. There's so much that goes into every play, whether it's a pass or a run that the quarterback needs to know. Once I get the mental game down, I think it'll be very similar to college."

FIVE YEARS AGO, WHEN ARSENIO HALL erupted on the talk show circuit, he was a pop culture phenomenon, an uproarious upstart who reinvigorated the late shift. Woof, woof! This week, his numbers in steady decline, his showbiz cachet exhausted, Arsenio closes up the dog pound. His last original show airs Friday (May 27).
The key to Arsenio's initial success was startlingly simple: He took advantage of the fact that many young adults keep vampire's hours. He also sensed that they weren't interested in such traditional sofa staples as Tony Randall and Teri Garr. Arsenio offered this large pool of disenfranchised viewers-in-waiting a selection of younger, hipper guests—and they tuned in, despite Hall's anemic monologues and unctuous interview style. Yes, Arsenio ran the comfiest couch for celebs since the hail-fellow heydays of Mike Douglas and Merv Griffin. The kid-glove treatment is why, for a time, the A-man was able to attract the A-list.
Of course, everyone coveted the audience Arsenio had tapped into. First NBC with Leno and then CBS with Letterman stole big pieces of his action. And once the mantle of hipness had passed from Arsenio to Letterman, Hall's nights were numbered. Now they are history.

This season appears to mark the end of Black Friday as we know it.
For decades, stores have opened their doors in the wee hours of the morning on the day after Thanksgiving known as Black Friday. But this year, that changed when major chains from Target to Toys R Us opened on Thanksgiving itself, turning the traditional busiest shopping day of the year into a two-day affair.
That means shoppers who wanted to fall into a turkey-induced slumber could still head out to stores early on Black Friday. Others could head straight from the dinner table to stores on Turkey Day. And stores were able to attract both groups by offering door-buster sales from $179 40-inch flat-screen TVs to $10 jeans at different times of the day.
Sam Chandler, 55, and his wife, Lori Chandler, 54, were part of the early group. By the time they reached the Wal-Mart in Greenville early Friday, they had already hit several stores, including Target and Best Buy. In fact, they had been shopping since midnight.
Weve learned over the years, you have to stand in line early and pray, Sam said.
The earlier hours are an effort by stores to make shopping as convenient as possible for Americans, who they fear wont spend freely during the two-month holiday season in November and December because of economic uncertainty. At the same time, Americans have grown more comfortable shopping on websites that offer cheap prices and the convenience of being able to buy something from smartphones, laptops and tablet computers from just about anywhere. That puts added pressure on brick-and-mortar stores which can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue during the holiday shopping season to give consumers a compelling reason to leave their homes.
Thats becoming more difficult: the National Retail Federation, an industry trade group, estimates that overall sales in November and December will rise 4.1 percent this year to $586.1 billion, below last years 5.6 percent growth. But the online part of that is expected to rise 15 percent to $68.4 billion, according to Forrester Research.
In addition to expanding their hours, many also are offering free layaways and shipping, matching the cheaper prices of online rivals and updating their mobile shopping apps with more information.
Every retailer wants to beat everyone else, said C. Britt Beemer, chairman of Americas Research Group, a research firm based in Charleston. Shoppers love it.

Players and coaches were unanimous that they wanted to include a blue ribbon, the symbol for child-abuse awareness, on the uniforms and also include the last name of each player on the jersey for the first time in school history. The use of the name, Penn State said in a statement, is in "recognition of their resolve and dedication to the team and the university."
"The Penn State community stands with all victims of child abuse," Acting Athletic Director David Joyner said in the release. "Coach Bill O'Brien and his football team made it clear they want to support victims and bring more awareness to this issue, which affects so many."
Penn State began practice Monday, its first formal practice under first-year coach Bill O'Brien since spring drills.
"I'm proud that our players want to be part of the University's efforts to help victims of child abuse," O'Brien said. "We hope our fans join us in wearing blue ribbons to all Penn State home games. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of children everywhere."

Dress up those bland hangers with this free craft idea! Make baby's room come to life with fun and cute hanger designs. These are perfect for hanging baby's onesies in the closet. Use this tutorial from Little Birdie Secrets for your baby's room decor.
- Patterned paper in 12x12 size
- Wooden baby hanger (link to Web site!)
- Scissors
- Pencil
- 2 foam brushes
- Coordinating acrylic paint
- Matte Mod Podge or other decoupage
- Sanding block or sandpaper
- Coordinating ribbon
- Brayer or bone folder (optional)
- Start by tracing each side of the body of the hanger on the FRONT of the patterned paper (the photo shows it traced on the back, but this will make your paper backwards, and it may not fit correctly). Cut them out.
- Next, lightly sand the top and underside of the hanger. Then paint the top, bottom, and most of the sides of the hanger with your acrylic paint.
- With a foam brush, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge on one side of the hanger. Lay the patterned paper on top and position it to match the hanger. Smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles with a brayer, a bone folder, or the side of your hand.
- Trim any excess paper with scissors or an Exacto knife.
- With your sanding block, sand the edges of the paper in a downward-angled motion, away from the paper. Sand until the paper "becomes one" with the hanger. It's okay if some of the paper's pattern and the paint get sanded off. It lends to the "shabby chic" look.
- Now brush a moderate layer of Mod Podge over the entire hanger. Watch your brush strokes--they will show after it dries. Be sure to spread out any thick or globby areas. This layer seals the paper and gives the hanger a finished look. Allow to air dry 15-20 minutes.
- Tie a bow on the top of the hanger with coordinating ribbon and trim ends. Use Fray Check if necessary to prevent fraying. Hang an outfit on it for the perfect baby gift!

What a wonderfully creative idea. Everyone gives the new mom clothes for the baby but no one thinks of what to hang them on. Those little plastic hangers they come on are never very durable. This is going to make a wonderful baby shower gift. You can bet no one else will bring them.

PENSACOLA, Florida - Chase Elliott took the lead a little over halfway into in the 27th annual Allen Turner Snowflake 100 tonight. And while behind him, there was beating, banging and wrecking, the 17-year-old from Dawsonville, Ga., stayed in front of the trouble the rest of the way to win the pro late model race for the second time at Five Flags Speedway.
On Sunday, he'll try to win the track's signature race, the Snowball Derby for the second year in a row.
Elliott also won the Snowflake in 2010, and he became the fifth driver to win the race twice. His father, NASCAR icon Bill Elliott, was on hand to congratulate him in Victory Lane on Saturday night.
Mike Garvey, Five Flags' 2012 pro late model season champion, battled his way to a second-place finish. The veteran was surrounded by youngsters at the checkered flag.
Third-place finisher Kyle Benjamin, fourth-place Austin Theriault and fifth-place Erik Jones, like Elliott, are teenagers. Two 20-year-olds - Brandon McReynolds and Pensacola's Johanna Long - finished sixth and seventh, respectively.
Elliott took the lead from pole-sitter Justin South of Cropwell on the 54th lap when they encountered lapped traffic, and he led the rest of the way.
South was still running fifth with eight laps left, but that's when Korey Ruble of Headland went into the wall and pretty much had his car's back end knocked off. Brandon Odom also took heavy damage in the accident, which happened with Ruble on the move inside the top 10.
South, who finished 17th, caught part of that deal, and it didn't do two-time Snowflake winner Augie Grill any favors either. He'd raced his way up all the way from the back, but wound up with a 10th-place finish.
Elliott pulled away from Garvey on the restart after the damage had been cleaned up.

Hello and welcome to today's Aerospace Team Online chat with Mary Reveley
from NASA Glenn Research Center! Mary works in the Propulsion Systems
Analysis Office (PSAO), which is a systems analysis group. The group uses
different methods to try to predict how aircraft and engine designs will
perform. Mary is also responsible for determining the cost of manufacturing
new propulsion and aviation technologies, as well as how they will affect
the environment.
[ Oran/NASAChatHost - 8 - 09:59:10
And now, here is Mary Reveley to answer your questions.
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 13 - 10:04:30
RE: [JenAlexa/internalDrive] As a working
Mom, what sort of activities do you enjoy doing the most with your girls
when you are not working?
things I like doing with my girls: going to the park, bike riding, playing
games, going to places like museums. All the things that parents like
doing with their kids.
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 14 - 10:06:45
RE: [Lara] Does your work involve mostly
private business aircraft (like aircraft design companies) or public aircraft
(like military)?
The group I work in deals mostly with commercial aircraft like ones used
by the airlines. Also we look at new concepts such as the high speed aircraft
that could be used to fly long distances in a short time. Current aircraft
like this would be like the Concord or SST.
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 15 - 10:09:15
RE: [JenAlexa/internalDrive] As a female,
did you find it at all difficult to break into the world of math and science?
I don't think it was difficult to be in the world of math and science
depending on what area is being studied. There are quite a few women doctors,
biologists, etc. Where it has gotten tough is when you narrow it down
to engineering which is a male-dominated field. I graduated with my bachelor's
degree in engineering in 1984 and things have improved over the last 15
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 19 - 10:13:30
RE: [JenAlexa/internalDrive] Do you
feel that women approach Math and Science differently? Consequently, do
you feel that we need more women in Science and Technology?
I believe that women and men have brains that are "wired" differently
and yes probably do look at math and science with a different perspective.
I believe that having a diversity of ways of looking at problems can offer
many new and sometimes better solutions. It seems to me that the way math
and science is taught (at least when I have taken classes) has been more
from the male perspective and in a way that makes it easier for boys/men
to learn. Everyone has different ways of learning: some are better visual
learners, some are better verbal learners, and so on. Yes, we need more
women in science and technology!

RE: [Lara/PineGrove-Room15/PineGroveElementary]
I've been reading about recent NASA cutbacks in the aeronautics division
to fund the International Space Station. Has this affected you at all?
yes, the cutbacks have affected us. Our high speed research program and
advance subsonic research programs will be cancelled as of the end of
September. The total amount of funding has been cut. This seems to have
happened quite a bit over the last few years. I'm all for space-related
research, but not at the expense of aeronautics research. Our country
currently preeminence in the aeronautics area due to research done by
NASA. That is in jeopardy if these funding cuts continue. Its all very
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 23 - 10:17:37
RE: [Ariel/WYESRPANAMA-ArielPerez/WYESRPanama]
Are you involved in the orbiter project?
which orbitor are you referring to - the international space station?
I'm currently not involved in any space-related research. Everything I
do is related to aircraft that fly within the Earth's atmosphere.
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 26 - 10:19:28
RE: [Ryan/PineGrove-Room15/PineGroveElementary]
What is SST?
SST stands for supersonic transport- an aircraft that flies faster that
Mach 1 (or faster than the speed of sound) The aircraft that are flow
by the airlines are all flow at subsonic speeds (less than Mach 1 or less
than the speed of sound)
[ Oran/NASAChatHost - 28 - 10:21:26
RE: [Ariel/WYESRPANAMA] Thanks Oran!
WYESR kids are on classes now. Don't worry! =) But they want to be here!
I'm sure of that!
No problem, Ariel. We were certainly happy to be able to reach so many
of the students in Central America with our international event. By the
way, an archive of the forum is available at http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/space/chats/archive.

[ MaryReveley/GRC - 30 - 10:23:52
RE: [ArielPerez/WYESRPanama] Hello Oran!
Hello Mary Revely, nice to meeting you! What fuel has probe to be the
most complete in terms of performance? more flying time for less fuel?
Are there any project to find new fuels?
Hello it's nice to chat with you too! My group doesn't specifically study
new fuels and fuel properties. We look at new ways to design the airframe
(different shaped wings, tails, etc. ) and also look at different ways
to design engines. We take much of the ideas of researchers and analyze
them to tell them how all their new technologies will affect the performance
and cost of the aircraft. A small change in one part of a plane or engine
which seems like a good improvement may possible cause some other part
of the plane to change which might be bad. The entire aircraft has to
be looked at as a system.
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 34 - 10:24:40
RE: [Ariel/WYESRPANAMA] I saw a video
where a designer use a computer to design a plane and then a machine makes
a replica in a plastic material like acrilic... What's the name of this
design tool?
I'm not sure what that design tooled is called. Probably some kind of
"rapid prototyping" tool.
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 35 - 10:25:50
RE: [Bailey/PineGrove] How long have
you been doing your NASA job?
I'm glad to be getting so many good questions! I have worked here at NASA
for 9 years. I've been in my current job of propulsion analysis for only
one year.
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 38 - 10:28:00
RE: [josh/PineGrove] why aren't you
a pilot yet?
Josh, good question. I guess I have to make that a priority. When I was
in college it was because I didn't have the money needed to get my pilot's
license. Recently it has been because I have two small children who take
up a lot of my time. I'm glad you asked this question- on need to get
moving on that. Sometimes people forget what the important things are
because they get to busy doing other things.
[ Oran/NASAChatHost - 40 - 10:29:13
RE: [Ariel/WYESRPANAMA] yes, we have
visited already. I invite you to our web page. http://campus.fortunecity.com/depaul/30
is under construction but we will be posting many cool links!
Ariel, that's great. I will certainly visit your web page as well!
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 41 - 10:30:36
RE: [Christina/PineGrove] How do you
use air?
Christina- I use air to breathe! :-) Sorry- couldn't resist. Engines in
airplanes use air to burn the fuel. Just like if you lit a candle and
put a jar over the flame. In a very short time the candle will go out
because the burning of the wick of the candle needs the oxygen in air
to burn. So do the fuels used by jet engines. That is why the space shuttle
doesn't use jet engines. rockets use fuel that doesn't need air to burn.
The oxygen is built right into the fuel.
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 43 - 10:32:02
RE: [Ryan/PineGrove] Where does your
piping you design fit into the engine?
I don't design piping anymore. That was the job I was doing before I came
to my new job. Engines do have piping of sorts though that deliver the
fuel to the combuster. The combuster in the engine is where the fuel is
burned to make the energy needed to make the engine go.
[ Oran/NASAChatHost - 46 - 10:34:35
Everyone, don't forget to let us know how we're doing with our chats these
days. After today's chat, be sure to share your thoughts with us at http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/qchats.
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 47 - 10:35:46
RE: [Ariel/WYESRPANAMA] What are the
major problems you find in designing a new plane? How do wind tunnel helps
you to correct those problems?
Designing a new plane is the work of many people. You have the aerodynamics
to consider to make sure the plane has the proper "lift and drag" properties.
I has to have a strong enough structure to withstand all the forces brought
on by flight, it has to have good "control" properties so that it can
be controlled when flying and it needs a means of propulsion (engines)
to move it through the air. All of these need to work together. Using
a wind tunnel to test the aerodynamic performance of the airplane helps
greatly. It's not always possible to predict with a computer how an aircraft
will perform. Wind tunnels have also been used to test cars, trucks, windmills,
etc. Wind tunnels are very useful
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 48 - 10:37:50
RE: [Ariel/WYESRPANAMA] how do you simulate
the low oxigen level in high atmosphere to test the engines?
There are special test facilities for the different kinds of engines.
Some are like vacuum chambers to simulate the upper atmosphere of the
earth. Some of the test facilities are quite large- big enough to test
full size rocket engines. They are pretty impressive to see because of
there size.
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 52 - 10:40:55
RE: [Ryan/PineGrove] Why did you choose
to design piping instead of a lot of other jobs you could have done?
Ryan- actually I didn't plan on designing piping systems when I was a
kid or even in college. I really wanted to work at NASA and the job that
was available was designing pipes. Sometimes you have to wait to get to
what you really want to do. Also I have had the opportunity to work on
some exciting project while I was designing pipes. I worked on a solar
simulator which simulates the sun in testing of orbital vehicles. I have
also worked in support of jet engine testing and wind tunnel testing.
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 53 - 10:42:32
RE: [Ariel/WYESRPANAMA] Are you currently
using infrared light in the small wind tunnel to see the areas of the
plane more susceptible to the wind force? If so, how that tool improve
your designs?
I'm not actively involved in the operation/testing of the wind tunnels.
I do know that lasers are used for visualization of the flow. I would
assume that the lasers would verify or discredit calculations of the flow
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 54 - 10:43:39
RE: [Ryan/PineGrove] Do you like being
an enginneer or do you just kind of like it?
Ryan, yes I like being and engineer, especially here at NASA because there
are so many neat things to see. Engineering involves problem solving which
I enjoy.
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 55 - 10:46:50
RE: [josh/PineGrove] how long does it
take to design piping?
Josh, how long it takes to design piping depends on what the piping needs
to do. I have been on some jobs that lasted two years. This is because
it take a while for everyone to decide what they want the piping to do
sometimes. I have designed piping for water used to cool hot things (such
as the solar simulator). I have designed piping to move very hot air (1200
degree Fahrenheit) and very cold air (-60 degrees Fahrenheit) and I have
designed piping to carry oil for lubricating a helicopter gear box. Some
of the piping systems have pipes that are very big (4 feet in diameter)
or very small (1/8" tubing)
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 59 - 10:49:04
RE: [Lara/PineGrove] What kinds of metals
are used in supersonic aircraft engine design? I know they have to be
able to withstand high temperatures.
Lara- usually various kinds of steel or nickel. Often times in the combuster
where it gets very hot, ceramic liners are used. The temperature that
existing materials can take are one of the limiting factors for the design
of engines. If we had a material that could withstand 2000 F, then we
could have an engine that performed much better.
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 60 - 10:50:51
RE: [Bailey/PineGrove] How long does
it take from start to finish to design a airplane?
Bailey- It depends on how different the plane is from existing designs.
It can take a long time for new concepts- say like a new kind of jet fighter
for the air force. Often times the aircraft that you see in use now were
actually designed up to 25 years ago. It takes a long time for a "really
new" aircraft to go from design to use
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 64 - 10:52:26
RE: [Ariel/WYESRPANAMA] How many thrust
power generates a standard yet engine?
There are all different sizes of engines. Some are very small and have
2000 pounds of thrust, some are very large and can have up to 100,000
pounds of thrust. The standard engine in 300 passenger commercial airline
jet can have engines of up to 90,000 pounds thrust.
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 65 - 10:54:11
RE: [Ariel/WYESRPANAMA] If something
go wrong during a test, do you have an override system? Is it possible
to stop a jet engine sudenly once started?
Good question! We are very serious about safety here. All test operations
have many backups for all possible failures that might possibly occur
during testing. Some systems are automatic and will shut down the test
(engine) if certain things go wrong. Yes the engine can be stopped during
testing if something goes wrong.
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 66 - 10:54:35
RE: [josh/PineGrove] how long did you
design piping?
Josh, I designed piping for about 7 1/2 years.
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 70 - 10:56:35
RE: [Ryan/PineGrove] How long have you
been doing your new job and what do you do when your at work?
Ryan - I have been at my new job for 1 year. I have been spending time
learning some software analysis programs that help me to figure out the
costs involved with changing the jet engines and also how that would change
the costs of the making and using the entire aircraft. I have also been
meeting with others on projects involved in estimating costs of new technologies
[ MaryReveley/GRC - 71 - 10:57:11
RE: [Ryan/PineGrove] Are you still working
with liquids or are you working with something else in your new job?
Ryan- I'm working with jet engines now, so the "liquid" that I work with
is air.

say anywhere from a few months to a couple of years.
