Extractions: OAS_AD('Middle'); A retired Navy admiral who investigated the USS Cole bombing will head the independent probe into the destruction of the space shuttle Columbia. Meanwhile, the Senate will hold hearings as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the House Science Committee plan their own investigations of what went wrong. The independent panel, led by retired Adm. Harold W. Gehman Jr., was holding its initial meeting Monday at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. None of the previous warnings foretold the kind of tragedy that happened Saturday, but they depicted an agency that needed to intensify its focus on space shuttle safety. As President Bush took office, the General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress, found in 2001 that the shuttle work force had declined significantly to the point it reduced NASA's ability to safely support the program. Many key areas were not sufficiently staffed by qualified workers and the remaining work force showed signs of overwork and fatigue, the GAO said. When it visited the problem again, it reported last week that "staffing shortages in many key areas still remain a problem." A federally mandated safety panel of outside experts expressed "the strongest safety concern" in 15 years when it reported to Congress last April.

Extractions: OAS_AD('Middle'); NASA critics both in and outside the government and investigators into the accident are sure to comb the reports for anything that might explain the disintegration of the spacecraft nearly 40 miles above Texas as it screamed toward a landing in Florida at more than 12,000 miles per hour. As President Bush took office, the investigative arm of Congress found in 2001 that NASA's shuttle work force over the years had declined significantly to the point of reducing the agency's ability to safely support the program. Many key areas were not sufficiently staffed by qualified workers and the remaining work force showed signs of overwork and fatigue, the General Accounting Office stated. There were other warnings, including a report to Congress last April on the shuttle program by a federally mandated safety panel of outside experts which expressed "the strongest safety concern" in 15 years. "We just received a GAO report, I think last week, that looked at NASA's oversight of some of their private contractors and basically said it was inadequate," Sen. John Breaux, D-La., said Sunday on CNN. Members of Congress made clear Sunday that safety and the NASA budget will come under intense scrutiny on Capitol Hill this year, beginning Monday when the White House sends lawmakers details of Bush's priorities for the agency next year.

Earth Science Oceanography Oceanography is a science that deals with the physics and chemistry of the oceans, marine biology, and uses of resources. Space provides a perfect place to study the ocean and its colors, to measure the sea's surface temperature, wave heights, and direction of waves.

South American fishermen gave this phenomenon the name El Nino, which is Spanish for "The Child," because it comes about the time of the celebration of the birth of the Christ Child.

Global Sea Surface Temperature - This illustration of Earth's sea surface temperature was obtained from two weeks of infrared observations by the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR). Images such as this help scientists to better monitor and understand the changes to Earth caused by events such as El Nino.

Extractions: Professional Associations Professional Associations can be an excellent resource for job seekers. Through their various activities and services (meetings, conferences, publications, websites, etc.) professional associations provide information about career fields, job opportunities, and employers in the professions they serve. They can be particularly helpful if you need to create a long-distance network to help you conduct a long-distance job search. To students (for whom time and money may be in short supply), the websites of professional associations offer easy, inexpensive, accessible (24 hours a day, 7 days a week!) access to: The following is a list of associations' websites, with links to related sites. Some, but not all, provide job listings. To learn about other professional organizations in your field (or in other fields you wish to explore), ask your adviser or other faculty members, and consult the MIT Libraries Virtual References at http://libraries.mit.edu/services/virtualref.html

Eberlein, Professor in the Computer Science Department, donated many of her books to SEL. We were also the recipients of a collection of books in materials science from the estate of Dr. Daniel Pollock, a former engineering professor at UB. In both cases these donations strengthened our existing collections allowing us to offer researchers and students a greater breadth of materials. We are extremely grateful for these and other donations that have helped us extend our limited acquisitions dollars and allow us to provide more books for student and faculty use. -Marilyn Moody, SEL Director Back to TABLE OF CONTENTS Research funds are neccessary to support research and teaching faculty; purchase equipment and supplies for laboratory, field, and clinical studies; upgrade facilities and instrumentation; support graduate students; and keep research programs vibrant and strong. The availability of funds is unpredictable from year to year and is subject to a wide variety of influences and may change dramatically and suddenly. Increased costs of doing research and increased applicants for decreasing or limited amounts of financial support all contribute to the competitiveness of securing research funding.

Extractions: By Lori Capullo Frank Eliscu is one the world's most successful and well-known artists. Over the last 50-some years, he has compiled a list of achievements that includes, along with the Heisman trophy, the creation of President Gerald Ford's inaugural medal. It was Eliscu who created a state gift for the late Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. His sculptures stand in a bank in Rockefeller Center. His Atoms for Peace makes its statement in Ventura, California. A promethean screen Cascade of Books is mounted on the front of the James Madison Library of Congress building in Washington, DC; it took Eliscu 10 years to complete and in 1985 won him top honors from the National Sculpture Society . The heroic bronze, along with Eliscu's plaque of Uncle Joe Cannon in the same city, has been declared a national monument, and by law can never be removed or changed in any way. He is a fellow of the National Sculpture Society and an academician of the National Academy of Design. Last year, he was recipient of the Herbert Adams Memorial Gold Medal for service to American sculpture. "From the time I was about eight years old, I knew I wanted to be an artist," says Eliscu. Born during the Depression in Washington Heights, NY, Eliscu's formative years were spent experimenting with different sculpting mediums, such as putty and paraffin. "My grandmother lived with us. She used to burn religious candles in little glasses. I would take the melted paraffin into the bathtub with me, and model horses' heads in the warm water," he reminisces. "She also made beaded bags and I used the beads to make the horses' eyes. I'd take putty and do bas relief's on the walls. I was very inventive, he says with a laugh.
