COLUMBUS, OH, October 11, 2012 (Press-News.org) Entering its 25th year in business, Spartan Logistics, a third-party logistics company based in Columbus, Ohio, announced the opening of its Indianapolis location. Spartan currently operates seven warehouses located in Ohio, Indiana and South Carolina. The Indianapolis facility will be Spartan's eighth U.S. location and its second in Indiana.
Spartan Logistics has partnered with Farmers & Merchants State Bank, headquartered in Archbold, Ohio, for the financing of this expansion. "The bank is pleased to continue to partner with Spartan Logistics and is excited about its opportunities in Indianapolis and future success," said Rob Graham, vice president of commercial banking in Perrysburg, Ohio.
With immediate plans to fill its new 130,000 square foot warehouse facility, Spartan Logistics says the first phase of the project, filling nearly 30,000 square feet by the end of October, is already underway. The second phase of the project will fill almost 100,000 square feet by January.
Spartan currently works with over 100 national and local accounts providing outsourced warehouse, freight and order fulfillment services and is seeking additional opportunities in Indianapolis, a high-growth logistics region.
Steve Harmon, president of Spartan Logistics, is enthusiastic about the opportunities in Indianapolis. "Indianapolis feels like home to us. The city has a great labor force and represents a perfect location with our current geographic footprint," Harmon said.
Starting in November, Spartan Logistics will be hiring 35 positions at the new east Indianapolis facility. Interested parties should send resumes to Personnel@SpartanWarehouse.com.
The new warehouse facility allows Spartan Logistics' customers to expand their supply chain and obtain world-class service without capital investment. Spartan will help the new facility's occupants by outsourcing the occupants' order fulfillment and upgrading their long-term facility solutions.
"We are always willing to help businesses improve their logistics by going where they need us to be in order to make the biggest impact on their distribution," said Harmon. "We are in the business of making our customers more successful."
This will be Spartan's second warehouse facility in Indiana. Since 2000, Spartan Logistics has operated a 400,000 square foot warehouse facility in Marion, Indiana. With this acquisition, Spartan Logistics will increase its total warehouse space to nearly 2 million square feet.

Return Science Sample Capability as Important as Station Resupply
2012-10-11
While the first NASA Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) flight to the International Space Station is historic, the delivery and more importantly the return of science samples is pivotal. Since the retirement of the shuttles, the only return capability available from the space station was via the Russian Soyuz vehicle, with cold stowage even more limited -- but not anymore. Space Exploration Technologies Corp., or SpaceX, is now able to provide this service, as well.
SpaceX CRS-1 mission, using the Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon cargo spacecraft, launched Oct. 7, with a ...

Extending Einstein's theory beyond light speed
2012-10-10
University of Adelaide applied mathematicians have extended Einstein's theory of special relativity to work beyond the speed of light.
Einstein's theory holds that nothing could move faster than the speed of light, but Professor Jim Hill and Dr Barry Cox in the University's School of Mathematical Sciences have developed new formulas that allow for travel beyond this limit.
Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity was published in 1905 and explains how motion and speed is always relative to the observer's frame of reference. The theory connects measurements of the same ...

You are feeling sleepy...
2012-10-10
The speed and degree to which the pupil of the eye responds is a standard test for alertness. It has also been used to assess how sleepy or exhausted a person is. Now, research to be published in the International Journal of Bioinformatics Research and Applications suggests that measuring pupil response alone is not enough and that a person's rate of blinking should also be incorporated to obtain a more precise measure of alertness. The work could be important in the care of people with multiple sclerosis and other conditions. It might also be automated and ultimately used ...
