As of Wednesday, August 17, 2011

ALBANY, Ga. -- Dougherty County EMS Director Bobby Tripp has formally asked the Dougherty County Commission to raise the rate they charge people transported to area hospitals by $100 per call.
The increase is the first since 2007 and would still keep Dougherty County's rate comparable with surrounding ambulance services, Tripp said.
"We are cheaper than at least nine other ambulance services that cover Southwest Georgia," Tripp said.
The fee increase will help maintain or increase revenues that EMS generates for the county, which have struggled in recent years due largely to the escalating cost of fuel.
Commissioner Gloria Gaines also expressed concern over the county's collection rate for the fees, which hovers around 60 percent.
"I've asked the staff if there is anything that we can do to get those numbers up," Gaines said. "It seems that we should have a higher collection rate."
County Administrator Richard Crowdis said that the fees are harder to collect than some other fees because often they have to deal with Medicare and Medicaid.
Current revenues generated by EMS is more than $2 million annually, and the increase is projected to increase those by roughly $800,000, Crowdis said.
The fee increase comes as a recommendation from the county's
Public Safety Committee.

Apartment boom continues with $42 million deal in Bocaby Jeff Ostrowski
Apartment landlord Archstone said today it paid $42 million for a 252-unit complex next to Town Center at Boca Raton. The deal is just the latest example of investor interest in apartments amid the housing bust.
A study released today by PricewaterhouseCoopers says investors are looking to buy and build apartments.
"The apartment sector is nearly fully recovered, driven by low vacancy levels in apartments and a continued shift towards renting versus buying homes," PricewaterhouseCoopers said. " This strong improvement in fundamentals, low vacancy and a historically low rate of home ownership, pave the way for development of rental apartments."
The Boca complex that sold for $42 million has been known for years as Vinings at Town Center. Its new name is Archstone Boca Town Center.
The property last sold in 1992 for $17.5 million, according to property records. Commercial real estate brokerage ARA represented the seller, AEW Capital Management.

CD/LP/Track Review
Mike Lorenz: Of The Woods (2012)
Lorenz goes note-for-note with Cemprola on "Between Signals" demonstrating both his guitar skills and ear for music. All members of the band contribute on this tune, with outstanding free form rhythms from drummer Matt Scarano. "North/South" is a standout tune, with its lyrical and wistful melody; Mitchell plays beautifully here, with a striking double bass solo from Brian Howell and brush stroke drumming by Scarano. The tune builds for a moment, when all the band members play together, but then ends quietly with a soft guitar and sax duet. This is one well thought-out jazz tune, compelling for its beauty and power; actually, beauty and power may well describe this well-produced CD overall.
Lorenz is a young Philadelphia talent with a great future ahead. If Of the Woods is any indication of his future work, jazz indeed has something to look forward to in the years to come.
Track Listing: Another Day; Between Signals; North/South; I Know Of No Such Thing; Were You Thinking Of Me?; Routine Five; 3 Step
Personnel: Mike Lorenz: guitar, Mike Cemprola: alto saxophone, Matt Mitchell: piano, Brian Howell: bass, Matt Scarano, drums

We're delighted to announce that Isabelle Campeau is the winner of this year's Fashion POP! Look for her Invisible Cities-inspired creations in a four-page photo spread in Issue 14 of WORN.
Fashion POP was held in the basement of St. Édouard church last week, as part of the POP Montréal music festival's 10th anniversary opening party. The festival has provided a forum to showcase young up-and-coming designers since 2007.
As always, Fashion POP was way more fun and relaxed than your typical fashion event, with not a wine glass in sight and beer served in plastic cups. DJ Cadence Weapon provided the soundtrack as six emerging designers presented mini-collections that showcased everything from a giant pink umbrella to a hood that doubled as a face mask, metallic gold pants, and intricate knits.
Campeau closed the show with light flowing dresses paired with structured jackets that could easily have gone straight from the runway to the Montreal streets. She was crowned winner by a panel of industry judges that included WORN's Montreal editor, Emily Raine, and last year's winner, Natasha Thomas. In addition to her WORN feature, Campeau was awarded $1,000 and a $500 Le Château gift certificate.

Despite some design flaws, Sonim's new XP3300 Force is a cut above previous rugged models.

Sprint's first Sonim handset, the ultratough, waterproof XP Strike, is equipped with a 2-megapixel camera, an FM radio, and an LED flashlight.
We're astounded by the lack of multimedia messaging, but the Sonim XP3 Quest should withstand most torture tests.

It may not be pretty, but the Sonim XP1 is a rugged GSM cell phone that's built to last. It offers good call quality, too.

AC Ajaccio 1-0 Bordeaux
Bordeaux slipped out of the top four after slumping to defeat at improving Ajaccio, who followed up their surprise win over Lyon last weekend with another impressive scalp.
A first-half strike from Ricardo Faty was enough to earn Ajaccio the spoils as Bordeaux suffered only their second defeat in 13 matches in all competitions.
The loss sees Bordeaux drop to sixth in the standings, with St Etienne taking their spot among the European places.
Ajaccio, meanwhile, are up to 14th after extending their unbeaten run to five matches in Ligue 1, which has also included holding title favourites Paris St Germain to a draw.
Les Girondins, who face Dynamo Kiev in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie on Thursday, came into today's match having won five of their last six in league and cup and they enjoyed the better of the early exchanges at the Stade Francois Coty.
David Bellion saw his goal-bound volley deflected away by home defender Ronald Zubar before Fahid Ben Khalfallah's effort from a Ludovic Obraniak cross flew just wide.
Ajaccio had produced little to worry Cedric Carrasso in the visiting goal in the opening half-hour, but when they finally created a decent chance they made the most of it as Faty opened the scoring in the 32nd minute.
Bordeaux struggled to properly clear a Johan Cavalli free-kick, allowing Faty the chance to head the loose ball past Carrasso.
That proved to be the match-wining effort, although Bordeaux came close to an equaliser on more than one occasion.
Guillermo Ochoa denied Julien Faubert before the break at the expensive of a corner while the home goalkeeper did superbly to keep out Bellion's deflected shot at the start of the second half.
Ochoa also performed heroics in the 72nd minute to save Nicolas Maurice-Belay's close-range shot.
Ajaccio were again causing little danger at the other end but they came within inches of doubling their lead in the 78th minute when Adrian Mutu's volley smashed against the post.
Bordeaux had one late chance to snatch a point but again Ochoa stood in their way, the Mexico international deflecting Maurice-Belay's well-struck effort away with his thigh.

Horrible!!!!!! – This place is definitely RACIST!!!!! We went on a Saturday night for a friends birthday with a total of four girls and four guys. The majority of the group being black, everyone was dressed nice, but we were rejected entrance because two of the guys had on "inapropriate shoes". Mind you we literally stood there and watched as two spanish guys walked right on in after us with THE SAME SHOES!!!!!!!! I was at a loss for words. I asked to speak to the manager who just happened to be "missing" at the time. THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!!!
Love this Place – One of my favorite places to go for so many reasons. From the great food to the awesome DJ's I can't stop talking about this place. This was the place that introduced me to smoking hookah. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful in both the hookahs and the alcohol that was offered. I also liked the fact that i could either get a table and be waited on or stay at the bar. I would definitely recommend Off the Hookah!!
NOT BAD AT ALL!!! – Me and the girls are still very much into going out and having a good time on the weekends, you can never be too old to have a drink or two and dance the night away. The Hookahs are a plus, though my friends aren't really into hookah :( the drinks are always awesome and best of all I leave there with only spending 20BUXXX everytime... :)
Great time, Good Food, Fun Atomosphere – I met a few friends last Friday for dinner and drinks. I was unsure about going "Downtown" for "dinner and drinks" but my friends told me i would enjoy myself.
Valet parking. But i also saw a few parking garages.
Drinks were very well priced, the entertainment was awesome. I love the Belly dancers and music.
Food was amazing. I was unsure about ordering food, but was thrilled with my dinner.
I highly suggest you check out Off The Hookah.
Awesome Place – This place was awesome a place finally where the bartenders where nice and also did bar tricks the blue berry hookah and the music mixed well as i got down on the dance floor great place for having fun
YUMMMMMYYYYYYYY – I'm in ANYTIME, when this place gets mentioned to me ... Even when i'm Broke ill take a Loan out if i have to, just to come and eat here. The food and service was the best. All of the staff were professional as well as friendly. To me it is a place anyone can dine with love ones, friends, or take a special someone for dinner.
Off The Hook Menu! – Great new Menu!!! Great atmosphere. Feels like yore dining at Luxor in Vegas!! Staff was fun and knows their stuff! I recommend to anyone looking for something different in Broward!
Best Hookah Spot – This is a hot spot for clubbing!! they have entertainment for you...from dancers to flair bartending show if the music doesnt keep you happy the live entertainment surly will!! I went out with a couple friends on ladies nigtht and we got in free and drank free all night..it was a lot of funa dn they had some pretty cute guys there..i mean i know they cant control the flow of poeple but if thats the crowd trhey are attracting then im in! lol!!

Sensible move: NCAA is re-evaluating First Four's location
Multiple reports out of Dayton over the past couple of days say the NCAA rejected an informal bid from the city to extend its contract to hold the NCAA tournament's First Four beyond 2015. NCAA director David Worlock, who helps oversee the tournament, confirmed that the NCAA will wait until next year to confirm sites for the 2016 tournament and beyond, but the current denial doesn't mean that Dayton won't keep the opening round going forward.
"Dayton is still a favorable site, and the end result could be that the First Four is played in Dayton for many years to come," Worlock told the Dayton Business Journal. "This is simply a byproduct of the changing landscape of college athletics and due to this ever-changing landscape, the Men's Basketball Committee is reluctant to enter into a long-term agreement — for any round(s) of the tournament."
This is a very smart decision on the NCAA's part, despite Dayton's significant support of the event since its inception as a single opening-round game over a decade ago. With the opening round having grown to four games over two nights, there are more teams involved and more complications in terms of travel from the opening-round site to other subregionals for the teams that advance. The NCAA's growing emphasis on reduced travel for NCAA teams makes a reevaluation of this process an obvious next step, although a non-subregional site (meaning not holding the opening round at pre-assigned Round of 64 venues) would almost certainly need to be centrally located.
Also, while the city of Dayton has shown significant hosting chops, the concept of "being sent to Dayton" has become stigmatized. No one wants to be sent there, condemned to a game that doesn't really feel like the NCAA tournament in a city that's not exactly tourist-friendly or weather-happy in March. Just a change of location may help ease that dissonance for teams assigned a "first-round" game.
Because of how well the city has supported the event, you'd imagine that Dayton will get every bit of consideration for 2016 and beyond once the formal process for bidding on the games opens, but having the NCAA re-look at this phase of its marquee event makes sense. There is no need to make a long-term commitment to one city when there are others that may be happy to host and show well. The NCAA has long maintained that the opening round is a legitimate part of the tournament at large. It's right to at least consider whether other cities or venues could provide a more satisfying overall experience for the teams and their fans. This isn't a rejection of Dayton. There's just no reason for the NCAA to commit beyond 2015 without at least investigating alternatives first.

In the wake of rising animal surrenders at the shelter, this adoption rate is a success shared with the community, Brown said.
"This community has always been animal friendly and has a high save rate," Brown said.
Brown was hired as the executive director for the Nevada Humane Society about three and a half years ago. She has worked in the field since 1991 with animal groups in Utah and Massachusetts, which was also a no-kill organization. Although she comes from an extensive background of organizations that adhere to the no-kill policy, Brown said the Nevada Humane Society was already looking to move in that direction when she interviewed there.
A "no-kill" policy means animals will only be euthanized for medical reasons or extreme behavior issues. If the animal can receive veterinary help or behavior training, the shelter will work with the animal to rehabilitate it.
"The board of directors decided we should go in this direction in the fall of 2006," Brown said. "It predates me being here; I was hired to implement it."
Since 2006, the Nevada Humane Society has seen an increase in animals that come to the facility to be relinquished as well as an increase in the number of animals that find permanent homes.
According to the March press release, in 2006 the humane society was able to find homes for 4,660 animals. This number was before the shelter switched to the no-kill policy.
After instating the no-kill policy, the Nevada Humane Society saw a 61 percent increase in adoptions in 2007, resulting in 8,030 animals finding homes. In 2008, 8,635 animals were adopted and in 2009, 9,184 pets found permanent homes.
Brown credits the no-kill policy with the increased rate of finding loving families for its dogs, cats and other animals.
"It's truly a growing trend," Brown said. "That is why the board decided to go that way. The more and more people surveyed say they view their pets as family members.
"That is why the humane society only euthanizes for medical reasons or for aggression in larger dogs," Brown added. "Other than that, the old, the ugly, the injured, the sick and the bad-behaved — we try to save the animal."
Brown's goal of achieving a 100 percent adoption rate has become more difficult since an increased number of pet owners have had to relinquish their pets to the humane society in the past two years.
"It has become more challenging because of the people who can no longer take care of their pet," Brown said, adding this includes people who have lost their homes to foreclosure as well as pet owners who can no longer afford to take care of their pets because they lost their job or other financial hardship.
"We rely on donations to do our work," Brown said. "One thing people can do if they're able is be a foster home for an animal.
"This means the volunteer temporarily cares for the animal," Brown added. "It's really fun, people enjoy doing it and it saves a lot of lives."
Foster families look after kittens and puppies until they are ready to be adopted, Brown explained. Foster animals need to weigh at least one pound; for dogs and cats this usually is at about 8 to 9 weeks old, she said.
Brown said the shelter is also looking for pet food donations.
"Bags of dry cat and dog food are needed right now," Brown said.
"We're an independent organization, we don't receive any money from the Humane Society of the United States," Brown explained. "If you want to make sure your money stays locally, send it to a local address."
The shelter is located at 2825 Longley Lane, Reno, 89502.
In addition to donations, the Nevada Humane Society will hold the Walk for Animals from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on May 22 at the Sparks Marina. Brown said it is a great opportunity to help raise awareness and funds.
"I feel like this achievement for the animals is an achievement for the community," Brown said. "It really says a lot about this community."

Welcome @whonew
Glad you decided to dabble into linux. You have embarked on a whole new adventure. Enjoy. Remember, we are here to help.
I find apt is very easy to use. rpm comes second. I prefer Debian based systems. Mainly Ubuntu. For servers, use Debian. It can be used with or without GUI. And will run your most basic tasks and advanced ones.
Another note, you can use most of the popular programming languages in Linux.
Why do you want to run firefox in the background?
Daemons are system service that are ran in the background servicing the system or waiting requests from other apps. Firefox is a user app that the current user interacts with. It is not considered a daemon so it won't run in the background unless you execute it and minimize it to be used later. Again, it is meant for user access not system service.
Not sure if this will help, but you can run "top" from the command line which will give you active running applications on your system.
Use the "man" command in the command line to get a description of the apps running.
The Linux Foundation is a non-profit consortium dedicated to the growth of Linux.

Charges in shooting death of Janay McFarlane forthcoming
By Judy Masterson email@example.com February 18, 2013 8:58PM
Erick Frydrych, 42, of North Chicago takes photos of a memorial for 18-year-old Janay McFarlane who was shot and killed in an alley at the 1300 block of Jackson Street in North Chicago. | Thomas Delany Jr.~ Sun-Times Media
CeaseFire to hold Vigil
Janay McFarlane was shot to death just a week after a large gathering in North Chicago in support of CeaseFire, a statewide anti-violence initiative that uses outreach workers to prevent retaliatory killings after incidents of urban violence.
The group, which operates in Waukegan and North Chicago under the direction of the Family First Support Center, will hold a candlelight vigil at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the corner of Jackson and 13th streets, near where McFarlane was struck in the head while walking with friends.
CeaseFire program manager Rev. Clarence Evans said that outreach workers arrived on the scene shortly after the shooting and have been working in the surrounding neighborhood. "We try to get into the areas where there's been gunfire or shootings and talk to the people involved so we can change the norms of the way they think," he said.
"We're hoping our message gets out," Evans said. "We're hoping the community will continue to participate and keep uplifted. We don't need any more of this."

Charges are expected to be brought against two men, perhaps as early as Tuesday, Feb. 19, in the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old woman in North Chicago on Friday.
At the beginning of the North Chicago City Council meeting on Monday, Mayor Leon Rockingham offered a public assurance to the family of Janay McFarlane, 18, who was gunned down in an alley off Jackson Street.
"We're doing everything we can to bring these people to justice," said Rockingham, who then urged tougher federal gun laws. "This was a senseless, brutal murder and one more proof that legislation has to be passed to get guns off the street."
McFarlane's death is the first North Chicago homicide of 2013. Last year, Kenny Hodge Jr., who was discovered Oct. 24 with multiple gunshot wounds after his car rolled onto a parkway on Wright Avenue, was the only gun murder. In 2011, the city saw four gun deaths.
But many other people are shot and survive. The Lake County News-Sun has reported on nine shootings in the city since 2012. In the first, a police officer was grazed in the shoulder by a bullet in May after responding to a large street party. In the latest, earlier this month, a man was shot at Flanagan's sports bar at Buckley Road and Route 41.
North Chicago Police Chief James Jackson blames rivalry between gang members for many of the shootings.
"Some of our residents formerly lived in Chicago with some of the gangs who are moving in," Jackson said in an interview before the start of the council meeting. "We're dealing with some young folks who have no moral compass and with the availability of illegal guns, it makes it even worse. In the past, if there was an issue, there would be a fistfight. Now you have a weapon with a magazine that can fire 15 rounds. Guns are everywhere."
Jackson, who retired as second-in-command for the Chicago Police Department, said his department is working with the Lake County Metropolitan Enforcement Group, or MEG, and other law enforcement units to combat gangs.
"We've targeted one of the main gangs behind the shootings in the city, but the investigation has to run its course," said Jackson, who added his department is trying to educate North Chicago residents to report gang activity and what "mannerisms" to look for. "We're pushing the notion of phone trees," he said. "We want everybody calling to give a description. It doesn't help us when we roll into a situation where there's shots being fired or that kind of violence and we don't get the description 'til after we get there; we pass the person coming in on the call."
Gang members involved in shootings are often "habitual" offenders, said Jackson. "That's why we're working with our federal partners, because they have enhanced penalties for some of the violations."

Marko Marin was pleased to earn his first 20 minutes in a Chelsea shirt on Tuesday night, and now has his sights set on Arsenal at the weekend.
After a frustrating hamstring injury prevented him from participation after our first couple of pre-season friendlies on tour in America over the summer, the German international was finally able to make his bow as a substitute in the Capital One Cup victory over Wolves, and quickly showed what he could do as he played a part in our sixth and final goal.
'It was a hard time doing the whole pre-season and then the US tour, then the injury, but it's football and it happens. Now I'm happy to be back and I played my first 20 minutes,' said the 23-year-old.
'Of course it's not nice, for any player, there is never a good situation to be injured but now I feel good and can forget that time, it's in the past and I look to the future.
'I have no targets, of course I want to play as much as possible and now I am nearly 100 per cent fit again, it makes me happy and I want to play. The injury is done.'
Attention now turns to a London derby with both sides expecting to be near the top of the Barclays Premier League come the end of the season. Arsenal finished third last season while we languished in sixth, lifting the FA Cup and Champions League. Marin is keen to emerge on top in the bread and butter of league football.
'Last year to this year we changed a lot, now we have more creative and offensive players and I hope we can help the success like last year,' he explained.
'We hope there are lots of goals in this team, because then it is hard for teams to play against us, when not only one or two players can make the difference.
'Arsenal have a good team of course but they lost Robin van Persie, who was the best scorer last year, and is at the top again, so it is interesting to see how they do.'
One of Van Persie's replacements is Marin's compatriot Lukas Podolski, who is starting to hit the form that has seen him earn more than 100 international caps.
'At the beginning it was a bit new for him but now he is doing very well and has scored a few goals,' Marin said of Podolski, who has been occupying the left flank. 'I haven't talked to him. We know each other from the national team but we are not really friends, I talk more with Per Mertesacker because we played together at Bremen.
'There are two German players to play against and I hope I am with the team. The important thing is to win and keep our position in the Premier League.
'We have a very good defence, so it will be very hard for Lucas to play against us. I'm not sure they have played against a team so good so it will be harder for him and I know Branislav Ivanovic very well, he is one of the best defenders in the world so I am not scared.'

All parents need to remain off of the practice field unless specifically requested to aid in a drill by the head coach. With the exception of 2nd Grade all coaching staffs are set. We fully understand your desire to be supportive and have any and all questions answered. Questions for coaches should be handled after practice. Prior to practice coaches are generally busy preparing. Also, absolutely no parents on the sidelines during games. The only exception will be if you are a member of the chain crew. The "No Field" policy will be strictly followed with no exceptions.Sincerely,Jets Board

A new look at NASA satellite data says the earth has set a new record for lowest temperature recorded.
A new look at NASA satellite data says the earth has set a new record for lowest temperature recorded.
Scientists made the discovery while analysing 32 years of global surface temperatures recorded by satellites.
They found that a high ridge in the East Antarctic Plateau contains pockets of trapped air that dipped as low as minus 93.3 degrees Celsius (minus 136 Fahrenheit) on August 10, 2010, researchers said at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco.
Cold and flat: most of Antarctica looks quite flat, despite the subtle domes, hills, and hollows. Photo: AP
The previous record low was minus 89.2 degrees, set in 1983 at the Russian Vostok Research Station in East Antarctica, said Ted Scambos, lead scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Centre in Boulder, Colorado.
"We had a suspicion this Antarctic ridge was likely to be extremely cold, and colder than Vostok because it's higher up the hill," Scambos said in a statement.
The temperatures are about 10 degrees colder than anything recorded in Alaska or Siberia.
The research grew out of studies of snow dunes. Scientists noticed cracks in the snow and wondered if the top layer of snow was shrinking. That set them off on a hunt for temperature data.
The super-cold temperatures are due to air being caught and held for a while. If the skies are clear for a few days, the ground radiates remaining heat into space, creating a layer of super-chilled air above the snow.
"By causing the air to be stationary for extended periods, while continuing to radiate more heat away into space, you get the absolute lowest temperatures we're able to find," Scambos said.

Seems to help with chain life. Wish some instruction were included. Seems self explanatory, but when you use it not clear what to line up exactly to the tool. Have to "eye ball" the reference points. Maybe I am just too exacting and need to give it a break. I wish it was a little more concrete in how it works. I think it helps me to be more exact then using a micrometer to measure the difference between sides of axle blocks. I also feel I can repeat the alignment to a greater degree of accuracy.Read All Reviews

let $G$ be a compact Lie group, and $M$ be a smooth manifold on which $G$ acts smoothly and effectively. For each $x\in M$ the isotropy group of $x$ is defined as $G_x=(g\in G:gx=x)$. Let $H$ be a closed subgroup of $G$. Due to the differential slice theorem $M_{(H)}=(x\in M:G_x$#$H$) is a smooth $G-$invariant submanifold of $M$, where $G_x$#$H$ means $G_x$ conjugate to $H$. My question is can we get $CodimM_{(H)}>1or=1$ for any nontrivial subgroup $H$ of $G$?

Ratings & Reviews
Outstanding sound for the price
Spent about a day looking for a set that had a mic, remote, volume control along with enough volume so that my iPhone wasn't maxed Spent about a day looking for a set that had a mic, remote, volume control along with enough volume so that my iPhone wasn't maxed out during playback. The Plattan Plus beat out Sennheisers, Bose, Sony and Beats handily and came in at a better price than all of those units. The on-ear pads are quite comfortable for 2 hours of listening. Headband has just the right amount of flex so that your ears are not mashed, but the pads still seal out external noise quite nicely. The no-tangle cord is excellent. I appreciated the rubber surround on the remote/mic, seems much more sturdy that most other plastic models. Equally important for iPhone playback is the 3.5mm plug is slim enough to fit into the phone when a case is attached.
You'll start to pay more attention to your EQ settings and bitrate quality on recorded songs when using these headphones. I heard things I've never before experienced in my music collection. Very good for jazz, acoustic listening. …

Wellesley experienced an upsurge in load as the result of the personal computer. "In 1994, when the plant was commissioned, only a small number of students had their own computers. But then the college wired the campus into a network and now 95 percent of the students use computers. Plus, most of the faculty has computers," explained Traci DiGiorgio, systems operation engineer for the Wellesley College physical plant.
"In addition to supplying all the electricity for the college, we furnish power to the municipal electric system of the Town of Wellesley, principally for peak demand shaving. The town buys baseline power in bulk from the local utility, Boston Edison. The requirements of the college and the town put a premium on avoiding downtime, especially during periods of high demand."
The Wellesley College cogeneration system consists of four 16-cylinder, 1500 rpm, 2340 hp Jenbacher natural gas engines, each driving a 1.4 MW AVK generator through a step-up gearbox. The normal speed of the Jenbacher engine is 1500 rpm to provide the 50 Hz power used in Europe; the step-up to 1800 rpm is necessary for the 60 Hz power used in the United States.
Wellesley subscribes to the oil analysis programs for both the engines and the gearboxes: Engine Maintenance through Progressive Analysis (EM/PA) for the gas engines and Trend Analysis for the gearboxes.
Plant maintenance workers sample lubricating and gearbox oils every 500 operating hours and send the samples to a laboratory for analysis. For the engines, the laboratory generates reports on levels of oil oxidation, nitration, viscosity, and contaminants such as coolant, dirt, and wear metals.
DiGiorgio explains, "Previously, reports were mailed to us, so it was a week to 10 days before I received the results. This was adequate for the gear oil, because the reports almost always came back completely positive.
"However, two problems can develop in the engines which could lead to major problems if not detected in time: dirt ingestion and coolant leaks. These problems can be particularly acute because the engines run constantly. Dirt ingestion can occur from a leak in the air intake system, but it probably would take longer to develop into a problem because we operate in a clean environment. Coolant leaks are another story. They can quickly escalate into major repairs if not detected."
The data analysis program, Monitor for Windows, allows users to receive sample reports electronically by downloading their data through a modem from a computer at the laboratory. The program delivers clear, concise reports and the user can manipulate, analyze, and graph data easily and effectively.
Information can be accessed as soon as it is recorded. Problems are red-flagged on the screen and corrective action is taken immediately. The red and yellow flags (yellow indicates borderline situations) include suggestions for corrective action.
A coolant leak did occur on Unit 1, resulting in damage to the camshaft and a cam follower. "However, it could have been much worse," says George Hagg, manager of physical plant operations. "We could have experienced broken valves and other problems that could have meant replacing an entire head costing more than $35,000 not including downtime. This situation would have reduced the capacity of the plant and its ability to meet the needs of both the college and the Town of Wellesley."
DiGiorgio points out that she can generate trend graphs easily with the program. "We also generate reports requested by the engine builder. In fact, I can generate any kind of report I want fairly easily." Photographs can be scanned and included in the body of the report. These are important for presentations to the college administration.
Reports generated by the software are necessary for insurance claims, Hagg points out, as well as evidence of corrective action taken.
Based on the experience with oil analysis, Hagg has the oil changed every 3000 hours. "The manufacturer recommends every 1000 hours, but we were able to demonstrate that because we use a premium product and run analyses every 500 hours, we could safely raise the change interval to 3000 hours." Engine oil filters are changed at 1500 hours, and gearbox oil is changed every 3000 hours.
Hagg also notes, "We have a waste oil permit. After 3000 hours I sample the used oil and then burn it in the plant boilers. I keep the sample reports as required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency."
Because the engines are fairly new there has been only one minor top-end overhaul at 10,000 hours. At 20,000 hours another minor overhaul and camshaft and cylinder liner inspection will be performed.
A major overhaul is currently scheduled for the 5 year mark. At that point major trends will have been established, particularly in wear metals, to correlate with inspection of the entire engine.
Hagg says he expects to reach the major overhaul mark without any unanticipated repairs. MT
