Museum Happenings
This page will contain some of the latest exhibits, equipment, projects and special events at the Whippany Railway Museum. Check here often to find out more information.
Take The Pennsy To The Fair !
"Your Steel Thruway to the Fair Gateway"
The 1964 – 1965 New York World's Fair took place 50 years ago, and for 2015, the Whippany Railway Museum has put together a unique display that will bring back happy memories for anyone lucky enough to have visited that fantasy land in Flushing Meadows, Queens a half-century ago.
Whippany Fire Department / Civil Defense Siren
Federal Sign and Signal Corporation Model C3 1/2
|The Air Raid Siren, once a common place signaling device used in communities across the nation. It could be used for alerting firefighters about an active fire, warning the public of a potential natural or man-made disaster, or for less life threatening things such as school closings or that the kids should come home for dinner.
Click HERE to read more about this now fading piece of vital infrastructure.
|As America became laced with railroads in the latter half of the 19th century, it soon became apparent that safety warning signs and signals should be set up to protect people who wanted to cross the tracks.
Click here to learn about this important part of railroad safety, as well as some examples that are in the museum's collection
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROADN6b CABIN CAR (CABOOSE) NO. 981590
|The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), "The Standard Railroad of the World", constructed nearly 1,200 N6b class wooden cabooses (or "Cabin Cars" as they were called on the PRR) from 1914 to 1923.

In Memorial
In Memory of
John A. Snogans
Museum Member, Railroader, Friend
January 25, 1952 - August 14, 2013
A Friend like John comes along but once in a lifetime... Those of us who knew him from both the Whippany Railway Museum and the Morris County Central Railroad have all benefited from his knowledge, compassion and zest for life.
Our lives have been forever changed for the best through our friendship with this unique and gentle man.
Rest In Peace Good Friend.
The Art of the Great Transatlantic Ocean Liners
|A new exhibit at the Whippany Railway Museum features artwork of some of maritime history's most fascinating vessels including the Normandie of 1935 with its trendsetting Art Deco décor, and the Lusitania...infamous for it's 1915 torpedoing off the Irish coast by a German submarine. Also on view is the RMS Queen Mary of 1936 sailing from Manhattan in the late-1930's, as well as the SS United States entering New York City for the first time in July 1952.
"Old" Penn Station
A new exhibit is now on display at the Whippany Railway Museum to commemorate New York City's "Old" Penn Station. Photographs of the station, vintage post cards, locomotive models and Pennsylvania Railroad memorabilia are included in the exhibit as well as a huge, highly detailed model of the iconic building.

Should website accessibility be part of digital literacy education?
Nov 11th
This video produced by the Australian government explains the concept of website accessibility and got me thinking about this as an element of digital literacy and learning for any student working on the web. With more and more of our students creating resources on the web is this a concept and skill we should be teaching.
Even using a blogging tool like Global2 gives you some tools to assist people with disabilities. You can tag photos or diagrams with meaningful descriptions so that screen readers are able to get an idea of what others can see or even a transcript or storyboard of any film created for people with hearing loss. Simple clear language is another important element. Have your audience in mind is critical when presenting online.
Helping everyone get your message is important including people with disabilities, Here are tips on how to edit your images and add captions and descriptions in Global2.

What works for bullying programs
Nov 4th
The most commonly accepted definition of bullying is that it is a form of unprovoked,
aggressive behaviour that involves a real or perceived power imbalance and is either
repeated or has the potential to be repeated over time.
This brief synthesise findings from experimental evaluations of 17 bullying
programs for children and/or youth to determine how frequently these programs
work to improve the outcomes of physical and verbal bullying, social and
relational bullying, bullying victimization, attitudes toward bullying, and being
a bystander of bullying. Most of these programs served school-aged children; only
two focused on children age five or younger.
While the relatively small number of bullying program evaluations limits our ability
to draw generalizations and conclusions, our review suggests a number of initial
- Programs that involve parents were generally found to be effective.
- Programs that use a whole-school approach to foster a safe and caring school climate—by training all teachers, administrators, and school counsellors to model and reinforce positive behaviour and anti-bullying messages throughout the school were generally found to be effective.
- We found mixed results for programs that included social and emotional learning, such as self-awareness, relationship skills, or responsible decision-making. The full paper by Elizabeth K. Lawner, B.A. and Mary A. Terzian, Ph.D

Googleable vs Non-Googleable Questions
Oct 29th
Posted by sandy in Uncategorized
'Essential questions' are all too often lower order. And not that essential suggests notosh
The Why
Every topic, every bit of learning has content that can be Googled, and we don't want teachers wasting precious enquiry time lecturing that content. We want students, instead, to be using class time to collaborate and debate around the questions that are Not Googleable, the rich higher order thinking to which neither the textbook nor the teacher know the answers.

Questioning the standards of literacy and numeracy
Oct 28th
David Tout and Juliette Mendelovits examine why we receive such differing reports on the literacy and numeracy skills of young Australians.
Australia participates in several large-scale assessment programs that provide information about the knowledge and skills of the population at various points in the lifespan. Each of these programs tells its own story about literacy and numeracy standards in Australia, and some of these stories appear to contradict one another. The 2006 Adult Literacy and Lifeskills Survey (ALLS) reported that about 50 per cent of Australians between the ages of 15 and 74 are below the minimum required standard of literacy and numeracy. Three years later, the 2009 OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) reported that 15 per cent of Australian 15-year-olds are below a baseline level of proficiency in reading and mathematics. Australia's National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN), on the other hand, reported in 2011 that only six per cent of Year 9 students – who are around 14 years of age – are below the minimum standard of literacy and numeracy. Taken at face value, these results suggest a lot of improvement in a short space of time; however, trends observed over that same period within assessment programs do not support this view.
What, then, can explain these wildly different reports? Are these three assessment programs measuring completely different things? Or do expectations vary about what constitute adequate levels of literacy and numeracy? Or is there something else at play? Further, if the reasons for the variation can be understood, is it possible to represent these standards on a single, coherent continuum of achievement?
Explaining the differences
The apparent discrepancies between different measures of literacy and numeracy can be explained by four key factors:
• the definitions of literacy and numeracy used;
• the stated and unstated program purposes;
• the agenda of the stakeholders; and
• the way standards are represented statistically.
How to publish a class e-Book using iTunes
Oct 21st
Posted by sandy in Digital Learning
Often teachers want to share the ebooks their students have made with a wider audience, not least parents! It's such a rewarding experience for the students and the teacher to see a book they've created being published and shared beyond the classroom. Thanks to Dan Kemp for spelling out the steps for teachers.
As the developers of Book Creator for iPad, a tool that's often used in schools to create ebooks, we wanted to share a tutorial for teachers on how to publish a book to the iBookstore.
What You'll Need
- An iTunes Connect account
- A Mac capable of downloading and running iTunes Producer
Apple provide an excellent Frequently Asked Questions section on their site to help you get started with these two necessities, so fear not!
You'll want to make sure you've got Apple's guidance document to hand: Using iTunes Producer 2.9 for Books. It's the definitive guide and is on the whole quite easy to follow. You may also find the Apple Support Community to be a useful resource.
iTunes Producer is essentially about packaging up the details of the book, the assets, and the metadata to submit to the iBookstore. Full article
A simple guide to Twitter for teachers presented by USC Rossier Online
Oct 21st
So what is the big deal about Twitter? Why should a teacher bother? USC Rossier Online present this great one pager to share with all of the staff at your school. Yes all of them … because there is a twitter community for them to follow and contribute.
One powerful community for every teacher to "Follow" is @LeaLC – the home economics blogger
This is a great starting point for any Home Eco teacher.
Check it out, follow and you have uncovered a "Nest of Knowledge" in the people who follow this Tweeterer (Is that a real word?) The conversation is about teaching, learning and resources for teachers – NOT the technology
This guide can help clarify terms and best practices that will make the most out of a potential networking experience. We encourage you to download our sheet using the link below and share among your staff. Get them searching for a community that can support them.
The teacher's quick guide to digital scavenger hunts
Oct 21st
Posted by sandy in Class Activities
A great "Tuning in" idea to introduce a new topic for students. OR an excellent assessment tool for students to design and present their learning.
Jeff Dunn from @edudemic presents a guide to digital scavenger hunts with the tools and process to get started.
Getting students to design their own could be a means by which students could demonstrate their understanding and deeper thinking about any learning area – history, science and even literature studies or narratives. A great way to explore learning. Its more than fun (although fun is never a bad thing in learning) it is actually a complex task that can present a students understanding of what they know.
If you've got a smartphone or a tablet in your classroom, you're ready for the adventure to begin! By adventure I mean digital scavenger hunts.
Digital scavenger hunts should be carefully prepared so don't rush into them. They're fun and, if done properly, will get students excited to do another one. If instead students spend the entire time asking you, the teacher, questions … then it's not ideal. Instead, make sure the hunt is planned out so that the students can only ask questions of each other. That's likely the best way to keep the active learning process in high gear. Full article

Hattie Marie Shenoskey Odeimin
Reena, I found this article at the greenwood data base while searching the Odeimin family. I've seen your Hattie Odeimin Shenoskey memorial in Hessel in the Upper peninsula and wondered what the conndection would be. Sadly, in this case, Hattie, 57, and her daughter, Theresa 28 were killed in a fatal fire in 4-15-1963. Ive added the newspaper clipping to your memorial. Feel free to remove it if you think that would be best. You may find the article at the Greenwood Data base, The Petoskey News Review 4-18-63, page 4.
However, I have not found an a memorial for dauther Theresa, aged 28.
There is a memorial for Theresa Maonquay Odeimin, b. 1877, d. 1953 at age 76. Cemetery and burial unknown. Find A Grave Memorial# 127449666

text: USA Pro Challenge Mountain Edition - December 4th, 2014 By Elise Thatcher & Marci Krivonen • Dec 4, 2014 Good afternoon and welcome to Mountain Edition. Aspen City Council decides to take up lodging incentives again-- but much more cautiously. Garfield County Commissioners suggest alternate routes for energy companies to reach leases on the contested Thompson Divide. And the Glenwood Springs Police Department aims to crack down on people who don't lock up their trash from bears. The USA Pro Challenge announces Aspen will be included again in its route for 2015, only this time it won't be the start. Your Evening News - December 4th, 2014 By Aspen Public Radio News • Dec 4, 2014 Snowmass Village Takes Public Comment on Council Replacement The Town of Snowmass Village is taking public comment on its effort to fill a fifth town council seat. Voters last month elected Markey Butler as Snowmass Village mayor, so the council seat she previously held became available. On Monday, town council members interviewed eight citizens interested in filling the seat. Now it's up to the community to narrow the pool before the council votes for a candidate on December 8th. Butler said in a statement the council is calling on the community to help identify which candidate is a good fit on council and a good representative for the community. The interviews with the eight candidates can be seen online at tosv.com. Feedback must be submitted to the town via email before Monday's meeting. Bad Flu Circulating in Colorado Colorado's health department is warning the flu season could be especially bad this winter. That's because a certain strain has been showing up more often. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Employment says influenza A is more likely to send someone to the hospital and it's been the culprit for most cases this year. There's been a bump in people getting sick from the strain at nursing homes and assisted living facilities. In other years, Influenza A has caused more hospitalizations and deaths. The Health Department is recommending signing up the flu vaccine to best avoid it, although officials also admit about half of the flu viruses showing up are not in this winter's flu shot. Your Morning News - December 4th, 2014 By Aspen Public Radio News • Dec 4, 2014 Big Bike Race Comes Back to Aspen Aspen will be included in the USA Pro Challenge once again.The route for the 2015 cycling race was announced live on Denver's 9news this morning. The race starts on August 17th in Steamboat Springs and moves through Arapahoe Basin and Copper before it arrives in Aspen. From Aspen, the cyclists head to Breckenridge. Aspen has hosted the race several times. In August of this year, it started in Aspen/Snowmass. Basalt, Carbondale Get First Taste of Pro Challenge By Elise Thatcher • May 6, 2014 Elise Thatcher The USA Pro Challenge will return to the area this August, only this time it'll cover more ground in the Roaring Fork Valley. The race will spend the first day in Aspen and Snowmass Village. The second day, riders head down valley through Basalt and Carbondale, then cycle over an unpaved pass to Crested Butte. Like in previous years, the route has prompted debate among local officials about which roads are best. So far at least one official is in favor of the proposed itinerary. Save Wagner Park By Aspen Spin • Nov 6, 2013 Aspen Spin FULL DISCLAIMER: I live near Wagner Park in the center of Aspen. I love Wagner Park. My dog and I have played ball in Wagner Park almost every day for 11 years. I believe that open spaces should be cherished and protected. I want to save Wagner Park. I have lost complete confidence in our elected officials and the City of Aspen to make well informed and reasonable decisions, especially concerning Wagner Park. They always seem to sell out to the highest bidder. My Mom & Dad taught me to stick-up for myself, but warned me not to be a complainer. Every once in a while those two traits come to loggerheads. I don't want to sound like a complainer....but here's my take. Mountain Edition - October 10th, 2013 By Elise Thatcher & Marci Krivonen • Oct 10, 2013 The government shutdown trudges on but Pitkin County is working to alleviate the pain by increasing access to a local attraction on federal land. A proposal for funding public education has been called historic by Colorado's governor. But, the ballot measure could stretch wallets. The Aspen Skiing Company hopes to catch the eye of up and coming skiers from certain Asian countries. And, changes may be in store if the USA Pro Challenge bike race returns to the upper Roaring Fork Valley next year. We talk with an economist who says big sporting events may not mean more money for the towns hosting them. Finally, we get an update on local athletes training for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Russia. Economic Boost from Bike Race? Probably not. By Roger Adams • Oct 9, 2013 Roger Adams Planning for next year's USA Pro Challenge bike race in Aspen is already underway. Despite some complaints this year because of road closures it appears the bike race has the support of local government officials and will become a yearly event. This despite a lack of evidence showing any economic gains for the upper valley. Aspen Public Radio's Roger Adams explains: Steve Skadron is Aspen's Mayor . This week Aspen Public Radio asked him what the was the economic boost from hosting the USA Pro Challenge bicycle race. Fewer Road Closures for Bike Race Next Year? By Elise Thatcher • Oct 8, 2013 Elise Thatcher The USA Pro Challenge finished just over a month ago, and planning for next year's edition has already begun. Aspen plans to apply to host the race again in 2014... and officials have started looking at whether to improve on how things went during the 2013 edition of the race. Discussions range from road closures to conversations with international cycling officials in Europe. Mountain Edition - August 29th, 2013 By Elise Thatcher & Marci Krivonen • Aug 30, 2013 The U.S. Department of Justice has announced it won't try and stop Colorado and Washington State from allowing recreational marijuana. Basalt officials say they're on track to move nearly forty families living in a trailer park. It's part of a redevelopment plan… and some of the families say they can't afford to stay in Basalt. We'll find out what the reaction in Aspen was to the USA Pro Challenge, which took over parts of the Upper Valley last week. And, what the latest is on what cycling officials are doing to catch doping… turns out they don't necessarily agree with each other. A Glenwood Springs teacher is teaming up with NOAA to chart the ocean floor. She sets sail early next month. An accomplished local author is taking readers across the world. Her latest novel will be published soon. It chronicles an early feminist in the 19th century Ottoman Empire. And, The Colorado State Fair continues in Pueblo through the weekend… we have an audio postcard. Mostly positive feedback for USA Pro Challenge By Rebecca Kruth • Aug 28, 2013 The USA Pro Challenge has come to an end, and now the City of Aspen wants to know what everyone thought. Last night (Tues. 8-27-13), the city council invited the public to give feedback on the race. Aspen Public Radio's Rebecca Kruth reports. More than 30 people took to the mic at last night's meeting to voice their thoughts on the cycling event which took center stage in Aspen last week. No one described any major inconveniences, and the comments were mostly supportive. Aspen resident Blanca O'Leary said the race embodied Aspen ideals. Pages1 2 3 next › last »

Why isn't furniture selling?
I've been trying to sell this 45" diameter vintage Cushman maple table (includes 2 leaves, glass cover and padding) and 4 Hitchcock chairs for the past 3 months. I figure it is very reasonably priced at $250 for the whole kaboodle, but I have had absolutely no interest. It's the same with other furniture items I have. Even auctioneers won't take furniture if it isn't a high-end antique. I got to the point of advertising some of the smaller items for free and still no one is interested. Years ago this dining set would have been snapped up immediately. What's going on?
It really galls me that you see things like "American Pickers" where dealers buy rusty old junk that I wouldn't take if the owners paid me and yet I can't sell good quality housewares.
You can do a lot with photos. I peruse my local craigslist a lot and it amazes me how little effort people often make with their photos. I hope you've shown it with and without leaves. For the chairs, I like to see the side view to assess how much lower back support they would have. And maybe a close-up of the artwork?
Also, if you include dimensions (as you've done here), you give people a better chance to assess if it will work for them.
I also don't know how common a Cushman table is, but up here in Canada the equivalent - Vilas - is often overpriced on the basis that the seller thinks it is good stuff, but fails to factor in that the market is flooded with identical tables. Vilas was sold primarily in the 50s through to the 70s, and is now part of estate sales. That generation of furniture owners kept their stuff in pretty pristine condition, plus the stuff is tough; there's a lot of it in good shape still. And a regrettable amount of it was, to be blunt, butt-ugly. Fortunately, yours isn't :-)
You want your ad (I presume craigslist) to have all the right searchwords in it, and make sure you don't spell it "dinning" which has to be (sigh) the most common spelling mistake on craigslist, although "draws" and "mirrow" are close seconds.
Finally, I often see ads where people are keen to sell a set as a set, but you increase your chances if you are willing to sell separately. It's not a set originally anyway in this case. In particular, realize that a piece of glass the size of that table is more likely to be a liability than an asset (not something everyone wants!) and make it optional - and you may even be able to sell that separately if the buyer doesn't want it. Ironically, you might be able to sell the chairs for $50 each and the table for $50, but not the set for $250. You limit your potential market if you list it only as a set. Those would make lovely side chairs or bedroom chairs, so might sell singly.
Or, maybe it's the economy in your particular market. Can you advertise in the next biggest town over?
Karin L
I live in CT so that may be a factor but around here those chairs are a dime a dozen. You'd have trouble getting $50/each in that condition and age.
These were always mass produced chairs and will never be worth a lot of money. Condition is important especially the stencil. Yours were made 1955, or later, so not even one of the early Hitchcocks. I'd offer them for $150/set and see what happens. For sure, separate them from the table.
If those were my chairs, I would "polish" them up nicely, perhaps touch up the worn spots with some stain, maybe use a little Restore-a-Finish on the seats. Then I would take some good pictures, showcasing them at their best. Perhaps stage them around a different table. You can always hang a sheet as a backdrop if you have them in a storage area. I would never advertise them with pictures as they are. Just me.
Looking on the web, a lot of these chairs have been painted black, but I think that could get quite complicated with the painted flowers and letters.
I think these type of chairs are just unique enough to attract those with enough creativity to mix and match them with a different table.
I agree completely with tuesday's above post.
Possibly (?), they could be paired with a new industrial-style table that are showing up in every catalogue hitting my mail. I'd feel better about that choice if they were all black but it could still work with your chairs for somebody creative with accessories. With that pairing it would be obvious the choice was a deliberate style decision. RH has a zinc table similar to what I'm seeing in my mind.
Unfortunately, they aren't unique enough to justify your doing much more than a good cleaning, touch-up pen, and polishing.
Best of luck with both the chairs and the table.
A couple of antique dealers, one in Maine, one in Maryland, have told me that due to craigslist and E-Bay the market is flooded and down most everywhere. I have a Plantation Desk that I'd hoped to get a good price for, and have been advised it is worth no more than $700. One must either take a loss or hold on to pieces longer. Good luck.
The cr*p on craigslist and the resale shops are all "old" furniture painted every color of the rainbow. I'm not into painting wood. I would refinish it. But the point I'm trying to get around to is buyers nowadays buy junk. It only has to be 30 years old and painted. Who can integrate a Fuschia Pink piece of furniture into their home?

Gallery: 2013 Ford C-MAX Energi is the Most Fuel-Efficient Plug-in Hybr...
Ford's all-new 2013 C-MAX Plug-in hybrid was just rated as most fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid available in the U.S. thanks to its 108 MPGe city rating and 100 MPGe combined rating. With today's record gas prices, Ford estimates that over the course of five years, C-MAX Energi customers could save nearly $7,000 compared to the average new vehicle.
The C-MAX Energi's 100 MPGe combined rating beats the Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid's combined rating by 5 MPGe. With a starting price of $29,995, after federal tax credit , C-MAX Energi is also expected to be America's most affordable plug-in hybrid.
"Ford is giving customers the power of choice for leading fuel economy regardless of what type of vehicle or powertrain technology they choose," said John Davis, chief nameplate engineer, C-MAX Energi. "With $5-per-gallon gasoline, C-MAX Energi customers essentially will pay $1.25 per gallon for the same distance traveled compared with average vehicles estimated to achieve 23 mpg."
The C-MAX Energi joins two other Ford models that have EPA ratings of 100 MPGe or greater. The Ford Focus Electric is rated at 110 MPGe in the city and the Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid is projected to deliver over 100 MPGe. For buyers that would rather have a standard hybrid, Ford also offers the C-MAX hybrid, which is rated at 47 mpg city, 47 mpg highway and 47 mpg combined.

Conservation Societies
Hi-I rediscovered the New England Wild Flower Society looking up scientific names I am always too lazy to go get the book and plug the common names in search if I don't remember or can't spell.
They have an incredible number of native plant seeds, and, I guess, correctly store seeds that need immediate storing-something for profit companies cannot do as its not cost effective. The descriptions are way better than I got from seed companies last year, and several species would have done way better for me if I had the directions from them.
Not to push one society or another, as I am sure different areas of the country each have their own, but newer members may consider looking into areas such as this, as they have lists of invasive species, lists of endangered species, and their goal is conservation, not profit.
Pretty much all of my dream plants are on their seed list, but before I spend alot of money (yes, even seeds are alot of money relative to my budget) I was wondering if anyone here has ordered from them. How did you make out? They do not say how many are in a packet, so I was wondering if anyone knows if the seed packets are comparable to seed companies, and if you were satisfied with the sizes.
Just looking at the lists would be helpful to newer woodland gardeners, I think. You are pretty much safe with anything on the list as opposed to going to a store or greenhouse. Even if you just take the list when you go shopping it would give you good ideas on native plants.
With so many kinds of native species, please consider moving along the spectrum to natural/native gardening. I see better choices for several plants then I would have made. Choosing rare or endangered species makes your garden unique and a showpiece, as well as good for our planet. You help the whole ecological system, for many are important to animals, birds and insects.
I am not saying that you have to be religious about it all, but perhaps each time you make a decision you can make sure you have good information to base it on, and make the ecological decision more often. I have changed my wish list alittle, and learned some things about plants I already have or was intending to obtain.
Anyhow, I will add the link at the bottom of the page.
Here is a link that might be useful: New England Wildflower Society
I love The New England Wildflower Society.
For me, I often find the need to use several online resources as a guide to plant selection for my woodlands as well as my wetlands. Illinois is not all that progressive in this area. A combination approach of utilizing different sources has helped me considerably to insure I am making the most responsible choices.
Illinois Native Plant Society
Wild Ones, Lake to Prairie Chapter
National Audubon Society. Lake County Chapter
Wetlands Campaign
Illinois Bluebird Project
International Carnivorous Plant Society
Chicago Wilderness Coalition
Native Fish Society
The Nature Conservancy
Chicago Botanical Gardens
Illinois Dpt Of Agriculture
McHenry County Defenders
Many of these organizations offer seminars and workshops which is great! Many also host native plant sales and McHenry County Defenders has probably the best native plant sale I have seen in a long time.
The North American Native Plant Society has some good articles, and also organizes a seed swap amonst members. If you donate seed, you get some packets free. Other packets are about $1.00.

I was once on a crew with a carpenter who insisted upon wearing running shoes, even though we were required to wear work boots. The boss saw his unapproved footwear and told him to wear boots the next day. As a sort of protest (and joke) the carpenter cut the soles off an old pair of work boots and wore the uppers over his running shoes. From a distance it looked like he was wearing boots—well, kind of.
My coworker would have had an easier time of it today, what with the availability of various hiking style and sneaker style safety boots. But he'd be out of luck if he wanted safety shoes with that Chuck Taylor vibe; for that he'd have to go to Europe and buy some Redbrick Safety Sneakers, which are not available here. What's that about? Didn't we invent Chuck Taylors?
You can see Redbrick Safety Sneakers for sale on this Dutch website. They are priced in Euros. Not that you could buy them here, but for purposes of comparison one Euro is currently worth $1.35 U.S.

BY ROBERT J. SAMUELSON, Investor's Business Daily
Robert J. Samuelson
The Washington Post reports that the odds are increasing — perhaps to the point of near certainty — that the so-called "sequester" will take effect March 1.
This would be a pity. For non-budget wonks, the sequester mandates about $1 trillion in government spending cuts over nine years, divided between defense and non-defense programs. These would be the wrong cuts, done in the wrong way. There's a better approach.
First, some background. The sequester was never intended to take effect. It was designed as a sledgehammer to force congressional leaders to negotiate deficit reductions.
The sequester would occur only if there were no agreement. The required cuts were thought to be so mindless — affecting good programs and bad while providing little flexibility to make choices — that the congressional leaders would have to agree.
Well, they didn't. The sequester was originally scheduled to start Jan. 1. As a part of the "fiscal cliff" negotiations, Congress delayed that until March 1. But now without an agreement, the sequester looms again.
The consequences would be widespread. The Pentagon would have to cut spending 8.8%, estimates Todd Harrison of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, a think tank specializing in defense issues.
Among civilian workers, there would almost certainly be furloughs. Procurement contracts would have to be rewritten to reduce purchases; interestingly, the unit costs of weapons and other supplies would probably rise, as fixed costs were spread over shorter production runs.
Training would be cut, leaving the services less prepared for combat.
Dozens of non-defense programs would suffer cuts averaging about 5%, according to Richard Kogan of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal think tank.
These would include: the FBI, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Park Service, the Department of Homeland Security — and many more.
Here, too, there would probably be furloughs; some projects would be delayed or canceled; grants to states and localities would be trimmed.
With hindsight, the sequester's failure to compel consensus seems understandable.
For Republicans, the sequester guarantees spending reductions — even if many abhor the defense cuts — and avoids tax increases.
Democrats may dislike the domestic cuts, but they also know that the biggest social programs are off the table — Social Security, Medicaid and most of Medicare (Medicare is subject to a 2% cut, but all of that would come from lower payment rates to doctors, hospitals and other providers).
As chairman and vice chairman of the bicameral Joint Economic Committee (JEC), we are tasked with evaluating the recommendations of the annual Economic Report of the President, which Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Jason Furman recently testified in defense of before the JEC. Despite the ...
China's "new normal" is slower, but higher quality, economic growth, with a target of 7% this year. To improve the quality, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, in his closing press conference at the National People's Congress, called for getting "the relationship right between the government and the ...
America is home to more than 53 million Hispanics, and we play a critical role in supporting our nation's economy and way of life. To ensure the continued prosperity of our families and businesses, we must explore new frontiers for growth. One of those frontiers is the administration's bipartisan ...

CHEM 86900 - Protein NMR Spectroscopy
This is a course that is aimed at biochemists/biophysicists/structural biologists interested in the use of solution NMR methodology to determine the structures of small to medium sized proteins. The course includes a brief introduction to the theoretical methods used to describe standard NMR experiments, a detailed description of the application of these experiments to obtain resonance assignments and structural constraints in isotope-labeled proteins and finally the use of NMR-determined constraints to obtain three-dimensional structures. The course will also include hands-on workshops in resonance assignment and structure calculations utilizing common software. The last few lectures of the course will cover advanced topics that include, but are not limited to, the use of constraints from residual dipolar couplings, paramagnetic relaxation enhancement and chemical shifts to complement traditional methodology to obtain high-resolution structures of proteins and protein complexes.
Prerequisites: Two semesters of Biochemistry are required. Some knowledge of quantum mechanics (perhaps as part of a Physical Chemistry class) is strongly encouraged. A background in NMR theory (e.g. Columbia G6270 – NMR Spectroscopy of Macromolecules offered at the NYSBC), while not required, will be very helpful in getting the most out of the course.

Hire the right employees to reduce turnover
You want happy, productive team members who stick around because they belong. And your team wants the same thing. How to hit the mark: Create an environment where people are the top priority and staff retention is a central part of your culture.
To improve staff retention, you'll want to enhance your hiring process. So if your practice is experiencing low morale, high turnover, and difficulties hiring qualified replacements, read on. Soon you'll be able to identify the steps to assemble your dream team.
To begin the hiring process, consider who you're reaching with your advertising. Increasingly job seekers embrace the Internet, so consider a combination of strategies. Advertise in the print and the online version of your local newspaper. Consider your personal contacts. If you're impressed with a receptionist or hostess at a local restaurant, ask if he or she is interested in working in the veterinary field. Advertise on websites such as http://veterinarycareer.dvm360.com/, http://linkedin.com/, http://jobs.avma.org/, and http://monster.com/.Well-Managed Practices successfully use many different approaches to find applicants. And their strategy depends on whether they're angling for a new team member or a new associate. When she's looking for a certified veterinary technician, Kim Mulvahill, practice manager at Intermountain Animal Hospital in Meridian, Idaho, has had great luck with targeted mailings. "We get a list from the state board of certified technicians, which is public record, and mail out a letter advertising our open position," she says. "We also advertise with our local veterinary technician associations. On the other hand, our associate positions have always been filled by word of mouth or drop-in candidates."
To improve your hiring success rate, know your must-have skills and personality traits. These can vary by position. For credentialed technicians, you want someone with high-level technical and diagnostic skills as well as good client communication skills. You'll need to decide the skills you're willing, and able, to teach. Develop position descriptions and hire based on them. Determine the skills necessary for each position, including the qualities you'd like to see in a candidate and the responsibilities he or she will shoulder if hired. A position description allows you to evaluate candidates' previous experience so you can place them at the appropriate skill level.
Heather Blount, CVPM, the office manager at College Road Animal Hospital in Wilmington, N.C., asks applicants to submit their résumés through e-mail. "Our practice is computer-based and all of our medical records are electronic, so someone who can only come in and turn in a handwritten résumé might not be the right fit," she says. Blount also looks to see what information applicants felt was pertinent to put on their résumé. "Did they list experience from 20 years ago when they were in high school versus more work-related training and education? That's usually a red flag," she says.
After reviewing the résumés you've received, decide which candidates to contact for a phone interview. This preliminary conversation will cover technical training, prior job experience, and professional goals. If you're impressed by any of the candidates during the phone interview, invite them in for an interview at the practice. Discuss the duties for the position, and use a standard list of questions to interview each applicant. It's easier to compare candidates this way, and you're less likely to skip steps.
Dr. Michael W. Brown, owner of Care Animal Hospital in Muncie, Ind., says he goes through résumés and tries to whittle down the list to a manageable group. Then he conducts phone interviews to discuss the position, hours, and other topics that can quickly thin out candidates.

Flew the Mosquito for the first time this morning. It has an annoying tendency to keep nosing up like a paper glider although the larger 500 mAh battery helped. Trimming just seems to bring out other twitchy tendencies. A few good landings and a few hard ones; i can't even say really hard because there was no structural damage whatsoever but the propeller shaft snapped; part of it is inside the propeller. I will order the prop and shaft but I am losing interest in this plane. I next flew my F-22 from Toysonics.com and it hand launched effortlessly and flew very well; much better than the Mosquito and can be slowed down surprisingly well for a belly landing in grass.
I will repair the Mosquito but probably won't be flying it much after that.
I can fly the F-22 better but wish it had landing gear. I may install some though.
Next I flew the black V450D01 Airwolf which flew great but the wind picked up suddenly and I packed up and left. No chance to fly the blue one.

Nice looking fleet!
Wind has sure been a pain down in Florida lately, hasn't it? I was out trying to fly in 20 MPH, with gusts to 30 and it just sucks the fun right out of it!
I think by midweek the cold front supposedly is through, and maybe we can settle in to cooler temps, but with less wind!

Hi all,
I just got some more 3S batteries but the balance connector isn't right for the Walkera type balance board. Anyone got a link/source for the female 3S (4pin) balance plugs?
(I'm not afraid of solder or crimping)
EDIT: After looking at JST website and their PDFs it seems that one just needs to google the right thing. Searching for XHP-4 on Amazon.co.jp turned up a set of 10. I was a little shocked to see a genuine JST crimp tool is $400+!! I'll be using a $30 version from eBay instead and saving the rest for more Heli crack.

got my 450d01 all scaled out finally...its a heliartist agusta 109, but i fabricated a bunch of little detail parts and nabbed a few from a plastic model kit i found in the LHS junk bin
i am loving this bird, by far the best thing i have ever flown.
|Dec 05, 2011, 07:35 AM
Looking good!

Great looking scale! Glad to see someone besides me doing this. Just a tip; I use heat sinks and Arctic Silver compound all from Radio shack on my stock ESC to prevent overheating. I found a lot of work can go down the tubes if I don't; both of my V450D01's have this modification.

thanks! - not my first scale ship but my first FBL one - makes such a difference in the look
my ESC seems to run pretty cool, deff a bit more heat generated due to the enclosure but all good. I had windows installed before and that was making it run a bit hot for my liking but just popped them out and now all is well.
I am running the upgraded wow motor so don't know if that helps but everything seems to be fine....put a full pack though her the other day (6 mins) and was throttle punching it and really tearing it around and it was just warm when i brought it back in.
I think those hobbyking xt60 connectors really help as well, before I installed those the lipo/wires/esc were all considerably warmer and that was without the scale body!

D/R and Expo
Curious as to what most of you use for our Expo for your v450d01? Been flying my v450d01 for about two weeks (non-3d). Some of other pilots at the field noticed that my banking turns are too slow and suggested that I play with my Expo settings. I'm only one with V450d01, they all fly other brands.
So what do you recommend to making the banking turns response quicker? My current settings are D/R 100% and Expo 30% except for Rudder which has expo at LIN.
Does increasing the Expo value makes response quicker or slower?
|Dec 06, 2011, 07:10 PM
Im 55 dr and 35 expo in all my settings and a 3 of my vseries helis. Im not sure about how to make more banked turns except more speed and sharper turns.
I just added 24 red led lights , it should shine nicely even during the day. ( im not good enought to fly at night with the 6 channel helis)
