FSU Advising Day
I just got an e-mail saying that FSU Advising Day will be Wednesday, 23 September.
This is the perfect time to meet with an academic adviser from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and plan the transition between TCC and FSU (including when it might be appropriate to dual enroll while finishing your math at TCC).
Advisers will be available from 10 to 3 in the SU Ballroom. You can make an appointment through the Success Center, but you need to bring a copy of your unofficial transcript because they don't have access to that info.

ASME - TSS joint meeting on Biomass plant
Ben Cowart writes about Thursday's meeting:
I've looked at the BG&E proposal and they do take an interesting angle. My reading of it is that at one point they argue (correctly) that they are not burning the waste materials so they are not governed by waste-to-energy incinerator rules. (They are converting it to gas in a low temperature process quite unlike the plasma torch process we heard about a summer or two ago.) However, at another point they argue that the power plant that burns this gas is not subject to emission rules for power plants because it is a waste-to-energy facility, so they don't have to account for what is in the gas they produce.
Ben may be able to tell us what they would have to do at Hopkins if they bought this gas from BG&E and burned it. That will, indeed, make an interesting discussion.
Subject: ASME - TSS joint meeting Time changed to 7 - 9 PM, August 7th
All - please put on your calendar to attend the August 7th meeting of the joint meeting with the Tallahassee Scientific Society meeting from 7- 9 at the City Hall Commission Chambers. The topic will be the BG&E Biomass Plant. Several local activist have been calling the project "incineration in disguise" and this forum is to hear the evidence from the Pro and Con groups on the project. Should prove to be lively.
Please try to attend.
This will be our August Meeting.
Thanks,
Ben

Schedule for Wednesday Town Hall Meeting
Click on the image below to see the schedule for Wednesday evening's Town Hall meeting at The Brogan Museum. The program runs from 7:00 to 8:30 with (free) registration from 6:00 to 7:00 and a reception in the museum from 8:30 to 9:30. (The lunar eclipse is total from about 10:00 to 10:50, so there is plenty of time to leave the program and watch the eclipse. Telescopes will be set up at the gazebo on Lake Ella, in the science quad at TCC, and next to the Keen building at FSU if you want a close up view.)
"The Brogan" is located on Kleman Plaza downtown, behind City Hall and just NW of the Capitol. Parking is availble (for a fee) in the Kleman Plaza parking ramp as well as (for free) at meters along some nearby side streets.

Electric Car Program Monday
This month's program of the local chapter of the Sierra Club concerns electric cars.
The meeting is Monday 18 February at 7:15 pm (snacks at 7:00 pm) at the United Church in Tallahassee. The church is at 1834 Mahan Drive, which is in the woods to the north of Mahan (US-90) just west of Blair Stone Drive.
Program info:
The speaker, Mark Hunt, will talk about his experience converting standard cars to electric cars or hybrids, the advantages and disadvantages of these vehicles, their economics, and the present state of commercial hybrid vehicles. He works at King Cobra, a shop on Orange Avenue, building and modifying race cars as well as electric cars. He learned his skills working on orange grove equipment on his father's farm in Indian River county.
I suspect he works with Al Simpler (who has some all-electric sports cars) and so I expect Al (of Simpler Solar Systems at 3118 W Tharpe Street) will be there also. FYI, Al Simpler has offered free assistance to Aaron's solar conversion project.
Driving tips:
If you are coming from the east (or turning from Blair Stone), their two driveways are right after Sasanqua Drive, only about 500' past Blair Stone. The first is the exit, the second is the entrance, so it is hard to miss if you are ready to turn right as soon as you pass Blair Stone.
It is very easy to miss if you are coming from the west (from TCC or FSU down Tennessee St, which becomes Mahan). You must slow down and look for the last median cut before Blair Stone. You turn left about 200' after you go past Pointe Ct (on the right). Their sign is small and eco friendly so it is easy to miss if you are going 50 mph. If you miss the turnoff heading west, you have to go quite a distance before you can make a legal U turn to come back.

TCC ENGINEERING CLUB T-SHIRTS
The first order of T-Shirts has arrived. If you were on the July (07) Order List, please email Doug Jones at jonesd@tcc.fl.edu to confirm your size. We had 12 on that Order List, and I got the numbers, but I never got the list of names.
I'm not sure of the price, I just picked-up the shirts (Friday morning in the rain), and I've not gotten the bill yet. It's either $10 or $12 per shirt.
The shirts look good. I wore mine to my German School class Sat. morning and to the ill-fated football game Sat. afternoon.
DJ.
