Very brief meeting, everyone still working on understanding geometry.

(1)Filtering
Michael c:Victor asked Michael for refinements to code.  Michael is working on it.

(2)Geometry
Will C: Seems to be lead.  For now not focusing on standalone but on full STAR geometry but with new layers turned off.  Need to keep this in mind.  Why does this change + LOW_EM option produce such a big change?
Ilya and Alice C: Trying some experimental coding on ELED block just to rule things out.
Ilya C: Changes in sampling fraction with modified ELED block and LOW_EM on or off seems significant.
Scott C: I think there is a problem with the way the block is defined.
Will C: We need to settle on some numbers - particle cuts, Low_em, sampling fraction
