I also looked at hobby partz those batteries were only a 140 dollars for the gen aces the sky batteries were alittle less but both of those batteries like to puff.
I've used them on my 400 watt planes and they havn't lasted very long while the thunder power seem to last for a few years.
I can't even get a season out of the Hobby kings nano techs.
Thats using 1800 3s on an omera 72 3DHS edge 540.
I have quite a few leccys along with glow and gas.
For me I don't use leccys above the 40/60 size.
The over 60 I really like the dle's and OS's like the dle 20 and the os 22.
Also lipos can be vary dangerous charging at 5 c
|Mar 08, 2013, 01:57 PM
BTW an os 22 or 33 is far more dependable that any leccy in it's size just go to the electric section and you'll see fried esc, thrown magnets, burnt windings just to name a few.

Second - tell your Indy and other Oval racers that Gasoline is more powerful than Methanol ............ I think you will get a 'rich response' !!

Nigel, what gas engine would you use for a high wing trainer or cub, with 70" wingspan?
|Mar 09, 2013, 09:49 AM
gas has stratospherically more energy content
alcohol requires stratospherically less oxygen to be present to combust
alcohol resists detonation from high effective compression more than gas
you trying to make this argument is nonsense. power is nothing more than the effective dynamic compression in the engine. if you are bound solely by detonation in dynamic compression, then changing fuels can make more power. if you are not, you will loose power.
at what point is there no longer a power benefit for glow fuel in the engines we use? around 30-35cc. a DLE-30 wont keep up with my saito 1.80 of the same 30cc displacement. then again they turn slightly different props. the closest common prop is an 18x6. i can kiss 10,000rpm on the ground (at 600'asl) with a really hot mix of fuel and all the stars aligned, and its still got some room to unload in the air. a DLE-30 will do good to get to 9300rpm.
at what point is it more economical to go gas? well how much do you fly and you HAVE to mix your own gas, but you don't HAVE to mix your own glow fuel. You can mix glow fuel at $5-6 dollars a gallon here. Buy it from the local track & then add your oil to it at the house. Instant FAI fuel at 1/2 the cost. If you're running 20% or 30% nitro (or more) yes, glow fuel can be pricey! But if for every flight of a big 25-40cc glow engine I have, I fly a .40-60 sized engine (even more a 4-stroke). the cost comes back down.
you should look at what is intended to be flown also. on glow fuel:
you can readily fly everything from .049/.051's weighing less than half a pound to 9' 20 pound planes. i know i do...
the gas engines out there simply don't compete evenly on power at smaller scales paying for battery penalties. they're fine if you're going to mull about.
there are a lot of low clearance planes out there are not designed to swing the larger props slower turning engines call for (electric conversions run into the same issue!)
but thats just things to think about... for the performance, na gas doesn't touch glow under 20cc. 20-30cc its even enough to be competitive. 35cc+ 100% go gas 'cause you're wasting your time!

I just re-maidened a .60 size trainer with an OS 65 LA. It's been a year since I've flown glow and I had forgotten the slime. So the question remains...
The 10cc Evolution might be big enough...

I use a 17cc on a 72"ws sport plane with plenty of power. On a true trainer a 10cc would probably be enough 15 or 17cc would be more than enough.

Second - F1 is supposedly based on the original concept of ROAD going ... so historically has remained a Gasoline based sport. Has nothing to do with power levels of different fuels.
Third - Communist ............... that's really funny .... I must remember that one Tavarich !
Finally - Most of the largest engines in the world use FUEL OIL or even COAL SLURRY ... those that use Crude Oil have extremely limited range of operation and specifications on that Crude ...... How do I know ? I own a Petrochem Lab and Company involved in Fuels and blending. I am actually typing this reply sitting in a large Oil Terminal in Rotterdam having just superintended the sale and transfer of 150,000 Tons of Fuel Oil. Last month - I looked after over 1 million tons .............
What did you do ?
|Mar 10, 2013, 05:24 AM
Problem is people try to compare direct Glow to Gasoline ... they really are two disctinctly different animals. I ran Glow for many years and achieved amazing levels with some .. my ST 61 AAc with pipe would hit 19000 rpm ... it melted the piston and crank later !! But that's another story.
Gasoline engines are better in my book as plodders. They generally have lower rpm and so swing larger or higher pitch props. They are heavier than glow.
If you want speed and flexibility in the sub 20cc bracket - Glow will win hands down ... If you want to plod around the sky economically - then 15cc and up is either 4str Glow or Gasoline.
I have a 53" biplane that in 1980's - I flew with a piped 61 .......... today I have another of the same and is being rebuilot with the RCGF 15cc Gasoline engine ... final decision is still pending though based on weight. I may just put the gasoline job aside for another project and fit a 61 glow.
It all comes down to what you want the model to do.

Ron Paul Has The Biggest Caucus!Submitted by Ah Hey Hardie on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 20:03

We need a
Super Hot Chicks for Dr. Paul money bomb.
I look at this and think - holy crap - double threat brains and beauty.
Mitt looks and this and thinks - I'm worth 200mil - maybe I should have held out for better
Newt looks at this and thinks - hmm maybe my trophy wife aint such a trophy - time to trade in a 40 for two twenties - wonder if she is into open relationships
Santorum looks at this and thinks - actually I have nothing for him - he is such a weird freak I have no idea what he would think - probably that hot chicks are the reason we need birth control or something stupid.
Great Job Mary!
Mary has probably reached as many voters on the phones as on RT. TV takes much less time. Keep up the great work!
That explains why she's able to pack in so much information in one answer.
She would make a better
"Commander in Chief" than Romney or Santorum! More wisdom out of a Ron Paul follower than the leading contenders.

Looks like she has a fb page, and is running for office too...

Clearly fake.

Her teeshirt is kinda dirty. It is certainly an interesting choice to wear on TV.

i dont have a problem with that by the way.

She clearly knows her stuff but...
she has diarrhoea of the mouth.
Why the vote downs? The
Why the vote downs?
The interviewer was dying to get any questions in the whole time, and I think she was able to ask around 3 or so before getting slammed with not only her answer but Everything She Ever Wanted To Know About Ron Paul And More. It's a good way to force info down the media's throat, but I don't think it's that necessary with RT given that they are somewhat more sympathetic or fair. If it was on purpose, it's not a very good long-term strategy because it won't be likely to lead to a re-interview (at least not by that interviewer). I think she didn't do it on purpose though - she just has so much to unload but she needs to learn not to give essay-long answers (not to mention about things besides the answer to the question).
That's why I say diarrhoea of the mouth. We can appreciate her contributions all while giving constructive criticism. Maybe "diarrhoea of the mouth" isn't a nice expression, but it's a popular one, and besides, I somehow don't think Ms. "Biggest Caucus" would be offended.
I had mixed feeling about this video before I saw it
because her t-shirt is pretty tacky. The t-shirt is still tacky, but she spoke very well. She didn't rush through her points and she made a lot of them. Terrific job Mary! Maybe the shirt gave her a little edgy-ness to make people watch. BTW, I'm not into censoring anyones choice of self-expression, I'm just sharing my uptight reaction with everyone.
Wow Ron Paul has the biggest....
Ron Paul has the biggest Caucus! and the biggest balls too
Preparation through education is less costly than learning through tragedy
intellectual and cute, my kinda chica
LOL, she's a little like a very young RP;
she absolutely knows her facts, can recall and articulate them perfectly, has a passion for peace and liberty, and she can go on and on with NO teleprompter
Nice Grassroots
Like the shirt too
What is she talking about.

Excellent interview indeed!
And, as was pointed out below, RT does a much better job, sadly, than American media.

A fantastic final day
... been returned to the sea, we went down around the coast. The captain kept us entertained with information about the various places we passed, such as the farm where the striped Belted Galloway cattle are reared for their beef, and the family that own a local lighthouse. Although it was a bit chilly, I wouldn't have missed it! Not only was it another opportunity to take in the sights of the coast from the water, and to learn about ...

Not even one day trip to CZ
Again and again, every week-end opportunity I use to get off Vienna and drive to CZ. So here I am!
Yesterday at night I arrived. Today I was shopping (of course) and will going for linner (neither lunch, nor dinner) with a friend of mine in Znojmo.
Around 6 p.m. I'll be driving home to Vienna for a shooting and meeting my best friend.
The Amber Trail!
... of the town! Boy we were buggered by the time we got into the Galant Hotel at 6pm, 83 kilometres on a hot day, bit tough for the first day! But we don't leave here till 11am tomorrow morning so can have a look around, we get a car ride to nearby Drnholec to start tomorrow's ride. Had a beer at the hotel restaurant, that went down real fast, then had dinner there which was first class. I had roast duck and Lana had a soup, both were ...
Day 1
... interesting history behind it as it was there to commemorate a meeting that took place in Seefeld, Austria and represented the European Union. The view of this small town from the bell tower was magnificent. Later, we went to dinner at a small but very quaint restaurant a very short walk from our hotel. We all had an individual pizza which was about the size of a regular small pizza you may get at Pizza Hut for example, the only difference ...

Lovely end to the Trip
3 nights in the Interalpine-Hotel Tyrol
Spent the whole day traveling to our next hotel arriving around 4:30pm passing through Chur with four train changes, the first one was 9 minutes but by this time we were well practiced and this was no problem. Our last station was a little way from the hotel so the hotel provided transport for the last 20 mins. 3 mini buses plus a taxi!
This turned out to be a magnificent old style hotel, set above the snowline at 1300m. It is like a ...

British PoW escaped 200 times to meet German lover
The story of a British prisoner of war who had a secret affair with a German girl while held captive by the Nazis is to be turned into a Hollywood film.
Horace Greasley was captured during the retreat to Dunkirk and imprisoned for two-and-a-half years during the Second World War in a PoW camp in Lamsdorf, Poland.
It was during this time that he began a relationship with Rosa Rauchbach, a girl from a nearby village who was hiding her part-Jewish background from the Nazis while she worked as a translator at a marble quarry labour camp.
He would regularly sneak out at night for trysts with his lover in a chapel and she would help him find food and equipment he could then smuggle back to the camp....

Wish i did an a 257 roberts like a win feather light bolt lol pawn got it
I have one I acquired from a gun shop savage 112 It cam from an old p-dog hunter bedded ,floated and a good trigger job under one pound 36gr varget and 52gr sierra hpbt its a laser beam 3800fps less 1/2 inch drop from 100 to 200yd lots of shots through the barrel and no lose of accuracy. Its a very good round
I've never owned one but all of my shooting friends that have them love them. A bit touchy if you reload, be careful with the cases. Another great round is the 22-250 Ackley Improved. Pretty much an equal to the Swift. So many choices!! So hard to make!
22-250 is IMO a better choice these days. I owned and reloaded the 220 years ago and it uses a lot of powder to do what it does.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
Ive realy been thinking about that 22-250 for a deer rifle
Go for the 22-250 it will do just about anything 220 swift will it's right on it's heels, used to do alot of chuck hunting up state NY and it was one good round easy to reload, good on case life and if you don't load it hot the barrel will last you a life time. Have a Savage 112v l bough in 1976 and still a tack drive. Took it to the range after 15 years.
I was thinking 220, 204 Ruger, or 223 WSSM. I'll check out those other rounds though.
I have been shooting the .220 Swift for over 50 years. My uncles had Swifts from the get go. The Swift is the super .22 for hand loaders. The Swift is a larger engine than the .22-250 period. I have a sporter weight and HBs in the .220 Swift caliber.
I use them for praire dogs and rock chucks. I also load the 60 and 70 gr. bullets for long range coyote and wolf loads. The .22-250 can not handle the big bullets like a Swift. If you are going to shoot the lighter bullets below 55 grs. the .22-250 is OK. If you want an all round kick a$$ super .22 get a Swift.

I'm hopping by to share some of my favorite resources for the spring, and to do a little giveaway because my birthday is coming up and, well, why not?!
Read through the descriptions and then enter the giveaway at the bottom. Click any picture to see the preview at TPT.
1. Many of my ELL's are unfamiliar with major US sporting events. This set of reading passages covers the major events throughout the year, including March Madness and the Stanley Cup,
2. I usually teach about hibernation during the fall, but I like to teach about habitats during the spring. I find the forest habitat easiest to teach about, since we can go take a nature walk in the trees right near our school. Do you desert-dwellers feel the same about your own habitat?
3. Spring fever- it is contagious. Scientifically proven by teachers around the world. If your classroom is in need of a little mid-year management, check these out! They are completely editable!
4. I love teaching about seasons, months, and weather. My littles often come to me with no sense of the chronological passing of time, so this unit can get pretty in depth! I find myself referencing some of these pages every time the seasons change.
5. I love doing author studies at the end of the year, especially after testing. It's so comforting to kick back with a bunch of books and do some research, knowing that the testing is behind us and we can focus on the good stuff!
6. March is Women's History Month, and if your learners are on the older/more proficient side, this diary is just the ticket. It chronicles three American female spies.
7. This pack came out of desperation, and the realization that Main Idea, Theme, and Cause & Effect were skills that were sorely lacking from my ELLs' reading skills. So I spent one spring break working day and night on passages, stories, and posters that would put them on the reading trinity fast track. I pull from this unit all the time!
There you have it! My spring must-haves. Now it's your turn- tell me what your spring must haves are (they can be products, clothes, food, anything) and then enter the giveaway below!
Good luck!

This invention was made with Government support under Grant No. G008300075 awarded by the National Institute of Handicapped Research of the Department of Education. The Government has certain rights in this invention.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a device and related process for measuring the range of cervical motion of a patient about three axes of rotation.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Several devices have been used to measure the range of cervical motion. Typically, such devices have utilized an angle finder and/or compass detachably secured to the human body through the use of a belt or strap to obtain the necessary measurements.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,485,825 to Domjan et al discloses what is referred to as an arthrospinometer having an inclinometer and a north-south-seeking compass carried in a housing pivotally mounted on a base plate. The base plate has a scale thereon and an indicator is provided for indicating on the scale the degree of rotation relative to the base plate. There is also a scale for indicating the amount of rotation of the inclinometer and compass relative to the housing and this scale is rotatable relative to the housing about a common third axis. The base plate has a suction cup attached to its bottom side in order to secure the device to a portion of the human body. Such a method of securing the device to the human body does not facilitate the making of reproducible measurements as standardized placement and positioning are difficult.
The "Myrin" Goniometer produced by LIC Rehab Care utilizes an inclination needle and compass to indicate degree of rotation. The Myrin Goniometer is strapped to the body to take readings about a variety of joints. Reproducibility of data is very difficult as there are no established reference landmarks. Also, the Myrin Goniometer does not allow precise orientation of the inclination needle and compass as only the strap is used in mounting, making standardized measurements very difficult to reproduce for an objective comparison.
Other devices have been designed for measuring the range of cervical motion. In particular, U.S. Pat. No. 2,565,381 to Leighton discloses a device having a weighted pointer mounted within a housing having a rotatable calibrated dial. The device is attached to the body on one side of a joint and the weighted pointer is used to measure range of motion about the joint. U.S. Pat. No. 3,429,052 Hembd et al. discloses a similar device which is dampened to reduce the oscillation of the weighted pointer which occurs in the Leighton device. Neither of these devices permits the making of range of motion measurements in more than one plane without having to reattach the device at a new position on the body. In addition, the data obtained would likely not be reproducible as no predesignated landmarks are established.
Other methods used for obtaining range of motion measurements have used a more mechanical approach. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 1,590,499 to Cozad discloses a device which may be attached to a human arm across the elbow as the arm is flexed or extended. Range of motion measurements are taken through the use of a protractor mounted on the device and a pointer which moves relative to the movement of the arm. Devices of this type are difficult to use in obtaining objective range of cervical motion measurements. Also, such mechanical devices are not conducive to obtaining reproducible data concerning range of cervical motion.
Various devices have been mounted on eyeglass type frames in order to obtain vision related measurements. For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,491,312 to Henry et al and 2,677,894 to Belgard disclose devices for taking ophthalmic measurements. The devices are designed to take measurements which facilitate the proper positioning of an eyeglass lens in front of the pupil. Such devices are of particular value to those patients wearing bifocal lenses. U.S. Pat. No. 4,328,620 to Mack et al. discloses a device which utilizes an eyeglass type frame to properly position an apparatus which registers the movements of the lower jaw with reference to the skull. The Mack device, however, is not capable of obtaining range of cervical motion measurements.
Cervical region pathology is a common problem in humans with the instance increasing with age. A major symptom or sign of pathology is loss of motion in one or more planes of movement and associated pain. Measurement of cervical motion of patients during the course of a therapeutic regimen provides objective data on the benefits of the selected treatment approach. Standardization of a protocol for measuring the motions of flexion/extension, lateral or side bending and with rotation is a prerequisite to satisfactory use of objective and comparative measurements of cervical range of motion, which in turn permits objective evaluation of the therapeutic regime.
The apparatus according to the present invention comprises a device to permit objectively measuring the range of cervical motion of a patient, particularly when the disclosed process is used. Objective and comparative measurements are taken by mounting the measurement device in a reference position using known reference points on the patient's head. Proper positioning is achieved according to the present invention in that an adjustable frame similar to an eyeglass frame is used to mount the motion measuring device to the patient's head. The frame is supported with a nose pad which when used with a pair of pivotally mounted temples or bows supported on the ears, provide repeatable reference positioning. The nose pad and temples are adjustable in order to permit the eyeglass frame to be properly leveled when positioned on the patient's head. The width of the eyeglass frame also may be adjusted to accommodate various size heads. The eyeglass frame has an adjustable strap which wraps around the back of the head in order to secure the eyeglass frame to the head following proper positioning. The bridge of the nose is a primary reference point which permits the frame to be quickly mounted and used.
Measurements of the range of cervical motion are obtained according to the invention through the use of a vertical angle measuring instrument (called angle finder) mounted on the frame and a compass secured to the top of the angle finder. An adjustable clamp is used to attach the angle measuring instrument and compass assembly to the eyeglass frame. The angle measuring instrument comprises a pendulum pivotally mounted on a horizontal axis relative to a vertical face that adjusts to gravitational change. The compass is a conventional magnetic needle compass. Lateral or side bending movement of the head and cervical spine are recorded with the angle finder in the coronal or frontal plane. The sagittal axis of the pendulum extends fore and aft in this position. The cervical spine and suboccipital flexion/extension measurements are read with the angle finder plane of movement in the sagittal plane (a vertical plane bisecting the body). The pendulum axis is oriented transversely (frontal or coronal axis) for these measurements. Rotational readings about a generally vertical axis are taken from the compass affixed to the angle finder.

A device for measuring range of cervical motion about three axes of rotation is generally indicated at 10 of FIG. 1. The range of motion measuring device includes an adjustable eyeglass frame 11 designed to be mounted to a human head. An angle finder and compass assembly 23 is attached to the eyeglass frame 11 with an adjustment clamp 31 (see also FIG. 4) that connects the assembly 23 to the eyeglass frame 11 in the center, between the eyes and for properly positioning the assembly 23 relative to the eyeglass frame 11.
The eyeglass frame 11 may be adjusted for sizing and proper positioning (leveling) of the angle finder and compass assembly 23 on the head. As shown perhaps best in FIG. 4 (and shown schematically because the adjustment is conventional), a pair of temples or bows 13 of the eyeglass frame 11 have first end portions 14 which are pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis on a pin 14A (see FIG. 4) in a temple connective piece 15. The connective piece 15 is attached to the front cross frame 16 with a normal hinge assembly 16A for folding the temples. The adjustable temples 13 may each be adjusted by turning screw 17 which rotates on the connective piece 15 and which is threaded through an opening in the end portion 14 to pivot the ear hook 19 and cause tilting of the front cross frame 16. The front cross frame is pivoted to a proper angle with respect to horizontal for establishing a standardized reference plane. Pivot control screws 17 have knobs 17A which operate the screws 17 which pivot the temples 13 on horizontal axis pins 14A. A second ear piece end 19 of each adjustable temple 13 is adapted to rest comfortably on the ear of the patient while simultaneously providing additional support to the apparatus. A strap 21 is provided to secure the apparatus to the head. The temples 13 can be lengthened or shortened by use of an adjustment clamp block 20 that permits two sections of the temple to slide longitudinally relative to each other as desired.
The angle finder and compass assembly 23 is connected to the eyeglass frame 11 through an adjustment clamp shown generally at 31. The clamp 31 is positioned above the patient's nose and thus centered on the head along the mid sagittal (bisecting fore and aft) plane 22 of the patient. The angle finder and compass assembly 23 comprises a pendulum angle measuring instrument, called an angle finder 25. The angle finder 25 has a pendulum 24 mounted to rotate about a first horizontal axis 24A (FIGS. 1 and 3) so the pendulum 24 seeks a vertical orientation. The angle finder measures angles relative to a vertical direction referenced to the face of the angle finder adjacent the pendulum. The pendulum has a pointer for ease of reference.
A compass 27 is attached by a suitable fastener such as a hook and loop fastener sold under the trademark Velcro to an upper edge 26 of the housing of angle finder 25. The compass 27 has a compass needle 28 rotatable about a second vertical axis perpendicular to the first horizontal axis and a rotatable outer rim 29 having a 360° scale 30 marked thereon. The rim can be rotated to place the zero scale mark in line with the needle 28. The compass 27 is mounted so that the pivot axis of the compass needle 28 is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the pendulum 24 of angle finder 25 and the needle axis will be vertical when the pendulum axis is horizontal. The angle finder and compass assembly 23, and its mounting clamp 31 permit effectively obtaining measurements of motion about three axes of cervical rotation.
The clamp 31 as shown is a universal clamp assembly having a tightening bolt and wing nut 32 that tightens a pair of plates 31A and 31B onto ball members 33 and 34. The adjustment clamp 31 is releasable to permit the angle finder and compass assembly 23 to be moved 90° from the position shown in FIG. 2. The 90° position (for measuring flexion/extension) is shown in FIG. 4 in dotted lines. Angle readings may be taken about any of the three axes of head movement or rotation. In the position shown in FIG. 2 movement (rotation) about the vertical axis 35 (FIG. 1) and horizontal fore and aft axis 36 (lateral bending axis) may be measured. The adjustment clamp 31 will permit the angle finder-compass assembly 23 to be pivoted about a vertical axis by loosening a wing nut and bolt 32. The adjustment clamp 31 permits the angle finder 25 to be rotated 90° from its first position, where the pendulum measures angles in the frontal plane as shown in FIG. 1 to a second position to measure bending in the sagittal plane (nodding). The angle finder 25 is used to measure lateral or side-to-side bending of the head in the frontal plane, that is, with the pendulum axis extending fore and aft, and it is used to measure flexion/extension of the cervical spine, i.e. "nodding" of the head, when in the sagittal plane, with the pendulum axis extending laterally and horizontally, that is, in direction parallel to the transverse axis 37 extending (ear-to-ear direction). The pendulum angle finder has a frame or housing 38 that houses the pendulum. A vertical face surface adjacent the pendulum has angle indicators so as the head moves the pendulum stays vertical and the amount of movement can be observed. The housing 38 is held onto a support plate 38A with hook and loop fasteners (sold under the trademark Velcro). The plate 38A has ball 34 mounted thereon through a shank 34A fixed to plate 38A.
A nose pad 40 is mounted on a slider block 41 housed in a sleeve 42 which is fixed to the front frame section 16. Ball 33 for clamp assembly 31 is fixed to sleeve 42. Vertical adjustment of the nose pad is accomplished by having a support screw 43 rotatably mounted in the center of the front frame section 16 and threaded into the slider block 41. The nose pad 40 provides support, and a point of reference for the apparatus. The eyeglass frame 11, and in particular front frame section 16, may be raised or lowered relative to the nose pad 40 to level the eyeglass frame prior to taking measurements. The front frame section 16 has a center portion 45 and laterally slideable side members 46 which are guided in receptacles formed in the front frame center portion 45. A separate screw 47 is mounted on each side of the center portion 45 and threads through a block 50 on the respective side members 46. Each screw 47 has a control knob 51 connected to it and when rotated, the width of the front frame section 16 can be adjusted to fit various size heads. The frame adjustments are conventionally done on ophthamalic instruments.
A level assembly 57 is attached to the eyeglass frame 11 with a bracket 58 that is fastened to the eyeglass frame with a screw. The level assembly 57 comprises two individual bubble levels, 59 and 61, oriented perpendicularly to one another and having their axes parallel. As shown, the bubble levels are coplaner. The level assembly 57 may be used so that the frame 11 is level and in a horizontal plane, through the use of adjustment screws 17 and 43 to indicate that the compass and angle indicator are referenced to a horizontal plane before movement.
A scale 63 is provided on the front frame section 16 of eyeglass frame 11 to indicate the position of side portion 46 of the frame when they are fitted. The width can be recorded for a patient to aid in adjusting the frame width during subsequent cervical range of motion measurements of the same patient.
The support frame is quickly mounted on the patient's head using the nose pad 40 and temples 13. Precise leveling is permitted by adjusting the elevation of the frame 11 relative to the nose pad 40 through the use of vertical adjustment screw 43, and the size of the frame can be changed by adjusting the width of the front frame section 16 through the use of lateral adjustment screws 47. The angle of temples 13 relative to the front frame section 16 can be adjusted through the use of pivot control knobs 17A and their associated screws 17. Precise leveling is indicated by the level assembly 57.
The eyeglass frame 11 is supported on the bridge of the nose through the use of nose pad 40 and on the ears through the use of ear hooks 19. The apparatus is retained on the patient's head by the strap 21. The proper reference landmarks (nose and ears) quickly and easily locate the frame at a repeatable position. Adjustment clamp 31 is used to properly orient the angle finder and compass assembly 23 so the angle finder pendulum indicates zero and the compass needle is free to rotate. The rotatable rim 29 of the compass is then rotated such that a zero position is established according to the initial direction of the compass needle.
Readings then may be taken about axes of rotation of the cervical spine using the compass 27 and angle finder 25. Rotational readings about a vertical axis are taken from the compass scale 30. Cervical spine and suboccipital flexion/extension (nodding) measurements are read with the angle finder pendulum axis perpendicular to the sagittal plane. Once these readings are taken, lateral or side-to-side bending movement of the head and cervical spine may be recorded after the angle finder 25 has been rotated 90° by loosening adjustment clamp 31 to place the angle finder such that it will indicate movement in the coronal or frontal plane.
Care is taken in making all of the measurements to assure that cervical spine rotation occurs about the proper axes through the use of bubble levels 59 and 61 mounted on level assembly 57. The head of the patient can be returned to the reference plane between readings. Initial readings are used as references for future readings to detect improvement or regression due to treatment.
The compass 23 is a magnetic type angle determining means or angle finder, as well, and the pendulum angle finder 25 is a gravity type angle finder or angle determining means. These angle finders also may be termed angle meters.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

A relative novice found she has a knack for managing an e-government initiative to streamline the grant-making process across all federal grant-making agencies
When Stacie Boyd applied for a job at the Office of Management and Budget, agencies' efforts to initiate the Grants Management Line of Business had stalled. Participants had agreed on a vision for managing grants, but they struggled to decide on an operating model. Each agency had its own way of issuing grants.
The grants management initiative strives to streamline federal grant-making programs. Rather than operate independent systems, the theory is that the 26 agencies that issue grants could use a shared service that would reduce costs and improve service.
Searching USAJobs, Boyd found a posting for a government-to-government portfolio manager in OMB's Office of E-Government and Information Technology.
Before applying, Boyd said, she talked with her father, John Higgins, about the job. She said he taught her from an early age that life is neither easy nor fair and that she had to work hard to be successful. Higgins, an engineer in the coal mining industry for 30 years, had lived out those realities.
"When I started to look for a job, he encouraged me to look for a challenge," Boyd said.
She decided to apply for the OMB portfolio manager position despite having no knowledge of the grant-making process and little experience in government work.
Boyd was hired two years ago and quickly took charge of the situation. As a new manager, she reinvigorated the Grants Management Line of Business.
Tim Young, associate administrator for e-government and IT at OMB, said Boyd helped construct a framework for the grants initiative by clarifying its goals. She built mutual trust among agency task force members and focused on improving federal grants management through IT.
Boyd worked diligently to identify and resolve issues among agencies and other stakeholders, referring problems to senior agency and OMB officials when necessary to break down barriers to change.
Boyd pushed forward, talking to agency officials and other stakeholders to decipher the differences and similarities among their operating models.
She knew she had to find a model that would bring the parties together. "Once you have an operating model, it no longer is a concept," she said.
Boyd got participants to decide how to run the line of business and start the process of selecting service providers. She led meetings that included representatives from the grants community, and she persuaded senior OMB leaders to advance the initiative. Boyd said she made sure agencies knew that OMB was working with them and not simply trying to direct them from afar.
"I could see the light at the end of the tunnel for grants management," she said. "It was just a matter of starting the process for moving things forward."
Boyd said she found the initiative challenging. A desire to meet the challenge coupled with
her fresh perspective helped propel the program. She sees the results of her work in the grants community. She hears from people receiving grants to start new businesses or build new homes.
"I get to hear their stories of how the initiative makes a difference in their lives," she said.

Social Media Makes Gains As A Trusted Source, But It's Still Behind Traditional Media
Consumers around the world are gaining trust in social media as a source of business information, but it still lags behind other sources such as corporate websites and traditional media.
The findings come from the 2012 Edelman Trust Barometer, a global survey that's now in its 12th year. The survey includes feedback from more than 30,000 people in 25 countries, with an emphasis on what's called "Informed Publics" — these are college-educated people between 25-64 years old that are among the top earners in their countries and describe themselves as heavy consumers of media information.
In this year's survey, 14 percent of people said social media is a trusted source of company information — up from just eight percent a year ago. But it's still getting the lowest trust score of the four options shown below.
Information on corporate websites is seen as trustworthy by 16 percent of respondents, while traditional media is trusted by 32 percent of those surveyed.
In a separate question, respondents were asked how much they trust businesses in certain industries "to do what is right." Just as in 2011, businesses in the Technology industry are trusted the most — 79 percent in this year's report, compared to 80 percent a year ago. Trust in technology companies is highest in India, China and the United States. It was much lower in the UK, France and Germany.
