How long have you been with NASA? I will have been For 23 years, I coordinated all of their on­camera phones for here 35 years the end of May. I came to work here during the annual Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon. I also really enjoy Skylab in 1973 and started as a temporary PBX operator. “girlfriend time,” and make a couple girl trips every year, Then I moved on as a secretary in the Construction Branch, along with monthly girlfriend dinners or birthdays. in what was then the Plant Engineering Division. In What is your favorite food? Tex­Mex, of course! I like hot 1991, I was moved up to the directorate office of Center and spicy foods and good ol’ country cookin’. I am a Operations, under Ken Gilbreath. I’m still there today. southern girl, born and raised in Tennessee, so I like all I coordinate the logistical/Center Operations support for all things southern. You just don’t get away from those roots. our special events at the center, plus a jillion other things. And, of course, you can’t live in Texas and not really enjoy a good steak every now and then. What is your favorite sport? Football—college football first. I am a big Tennessee and Alabama fan. I root for both, except when they play each other, and then I go to my Tennessee corner and root for the Volunteers. I am also a huge admirer of the late Paul “Bear” Bryant. He was just an amazing coach and man. On the pro side, I am now a Texan fan all the way, with the Green Bay Packers as my next favorite team. I was a Houston Oilers fan back in the 1970s and ‘80s. I was one of the thousands at the Astrodome in 1978 when the Oilers lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and all of us loyal “luv ya blue” fans were there to welcome them home. I really thought the dome was going to collapse around us that evening. Those were the

When the program was first initiated, it provided more than 100 students every year with work at NASA centers agencywide. Starting this year, the program is managed by JSC and will expand to more than 300 students, making it the largest agencywide internship program that focuses specifically on science and engineering. “These students are of the highest caliber,” said Bob Musgrove, deputy director of the JSC Education Office. “The program allows NASA a chance to recruit talented college

roundup 10 controlled access

A mock up of the future Smart Card badges to be used by NASA and other federal agencies.

Not only will NASA use an Agency Directory, identification or Cyber Identity Management System, but in 2009 NASA “will start implementing the capabilities to utilize the new badges for authentication to the desktop,” Vernon said. security controls The new Smart Card badges will usher in a new landscape to JSC. Immediately upon receiving the new badges, those with Controlled Access Area (CAA) privileges, such as in Mission Control, will begin using authentication the badges for access. “In addition, during the badge issuance process, these protection individuals will be required to select a PIN for the card and a PIN for physical access. Once we have confirmed that the required individuals have received their new badge, we will begin the process of configuring CAA access for two­factor authentication (something you Smart Card badges have, the badge; and something you know, the PIN) to access the facility,” Vernon said. These new measures will offer unprecedented security and protection to NASA facilities and TECHNOLOGY resources, which should give employees working at JSC peace of mind. “With HSPD­12, increased security comes in several levels,” Miglin said. “First, users are already experiencing the increased validation of an individual’s identity with background checks, two forms of ID and electronic fingerprints. Next, increased physical security based on the new badge will start this year. Finally, the use of the Smart Card badge for more secure IT access will be phased in starting early next year.” For JSC team members, the real sweat and tears in complying with HSPD­12 is nearly complete. What will happen next is putting into practice all that we have been preparing for: a more secure and protected increased capabilities NASA center. In addition to all the hard work, time and toil we put into making spaceflight successful, this too is something we can be proud of accomplishing. fingerprints

They were then greeted by NASA astronauts Mike Lopez­Alegria and Mike Massimino, as well as Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency astronauts Soichi Noguchi and Koichi Wakata. The astronauts spoke NASA/HARNETT with the players about upcoming shuttle missions and the expansion of the International JSC team member Betty Benjamin gets an autograph from Space Station, including the additions of the Columbus and Kibo modules. After the tour, Astros pitcher Woody Williams. the Astros proceeded to Building 3 to greet JSC team members and sign autographs. The Astros began their spring training on Feb. 28.
