 Agenda: 

1) updates on physics cases and plots

2) draft writing section discussions
  i) introductions
  ii) science cases and performances
  iii) Detector configuration and components
      a) eSTAR mechanic drawing (John Scheblein) 
        https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/eSTAR_mechanics_v0.pdf 
        very first version, need a few fixes, 
        TRD between ETOF and TPC in east; 
        BSO (crystal calorimeter) need to extend deeper into IR; 
        any other suggestions? colors? 
       this should be compared to what we have now: 
      https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/STAR_geometry_2013.pdf

      b) eSTAR geant geometry drawing (Katarina Gajdosova)
         Jaro's student works on eSTAR geometry from geant Jason created: 
         https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/eSTAR4_geant_geometry.png
         Looks good, need to zoom out more to see the FCS, 
         in geant geometry, we don't have forward tracking or BSO. 
         news this morning with FCS

  iv) simulations 
  v) R&D activities and future options 
  vi) collaboration evolution 

3) pp500 jet in FCS study (Renee)
