Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a non-invasive modality for imaging blood flow in cerebral arteries and veins that is used principally in the evaluation and management of patients with cerebrovascular disease. In TCD, a probe placed over the skull generates ultrasonic waves. The bony plate of the skull limits TCD measurements to three primary sites (or acoustic windows). The sites are:
Sound waves transmitted through these windows are reflected by blood in the intracranial vasculature. The frequency shift of the reflected sound waves recorded at the probe is used to estimate blood flow velocity or volume.
Vasomotor reactivity testing and microemboli detection are newer techniques with TCD that can assist in evaluation of impaired cerebrovascular hemodynamics. In patients with known or suspected cerebrovascular disease, TCD can aid in assessing autoregulation and vasomotor reactivity (VMR) of the distal cerebral arteriolar bed in response to small blood pressure changes and physiologic stimuli. VMR testing techniques of static (i.e., at rest) or dynamic (i.e., after provocative stimuli) cerebral autoregulation include measuring changes in flow velocities following:
TCD has also been used to detect microemboli signals or "high-intensity transient signals" (HITS). Particulate (solid, fat) matter and gaseous materials in flowing blood have different acoustic impedance properties than surrounding red blood cells. The Doppler ultrasound beam is both reflected and scattered at the interface between the embolus and blood, resulting in an increased intensity of the received Doppler signal. The hierarchy of backscatter of the ultrasound, in descending order, is gaseous emboli, solid emboli, and normal-flowing blood (including transient red blood cell aggregates). These signals have been detected in a variety of conditions (e.g., internal carotid stenosis, fat embolization syndrome, and others) as well as in a number of procedures (e.g., coronary catheterization, carotid endarterectomy, and others).
The foramen ovale is an opening in the heart septum between the right and left atria, which is normally present in the fetus and seals shortly after birth. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) occurs when the foramen ovale does not seal; PFO is present in up to 27% of the general population. There is debate within the neurology and cardiology communities about the role of a PFO in cryptogenic (i.e., of unknown cause) neurologic events, e.g., strokes and transient ischemia attacks—a PFO may possibly permit microemboli to bypass the pulmonary circulation and enter the intracranial circulation. A PFO can be detected noninvasively by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) or TCD imaging. In TEE and TTE, agitated saline is injected into a peripheral vein during echocardiography, and small air bubbles can be seen crossing from the left atrium to the right atrium on echocardiographic imaging; it may be possible to see bubbles travel across a PFO either at rest or during a cough. (Bubbles will only flow from right atrium to left atrium if the pressure is greater in the right than the left.) Right-to-left shunting detection by transcranial Doppler involves the recording of agitated saline bubbles mimicking microemboli as they pass through the middle cerebral artery as a series of embolic tracks seen on ultrasonography through the temporal bones. TEE is considered the gold standard for diagnosing PFO.

Members and their providers have the responsibility for consulting the member's benefit plan, summary plan description or contract to determine if there are any exclusions or other benefit limitations applicable to this service or supply. If there is a discrepancy between a Medical Policy and a member's benefit plan, summary plan description or contract, the benefit plan, summary plan description or contract will govern.
Medically Necessary
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana (BCBSMT) may consider Transcranial Doppler (TCD) Ultrasound medically necessary when used for any of the following:
BCBSMT considers TCD experimental, investigational and unproven when used for any other indication, including but not limited to the following:
Routine Transcranial Doppler (TCD) examination of the intracranial arteries was demonstrated to be possible in 1982. TCD is primarily a technique for measuring relative changes in flow. One fact that has to be constantly kept in mind when utilizing TCD is that the value obtained for a particular artery is the velocity of blood flowing through the vessel, and unless the diameter of the vessel is established by other means it is not possible to determine the actual blood flow.
In 1998 Adams, R.J., et al., reported on a trial of chronic blood transfusions in 130 children with sickle cell anemia and abnormal results on TCD. A total of 63 patients were randomized to receive transfusions to achieve a target hemoglobin S concentration; children received transfusions every three to four weeks. The remaining 67 patients received standard care. There was a significant decrease in the incidence of stroke in the transfusion group, leading to premature termination of the trial. In their 2004 technology assessment, the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) concluded that the clinical utility of TCD is established for assessing stroke risk in children with sickle cell disease.
Brain death is a clinical diagnosis that can be supported by TCD evidence of absent cerebral blood flow; diagnostic criteria for cerebral circulatory arrest or brain death using TCD have been published, with sensitivity and specificity of 91 to 100% and 97 to 100%, respectively. The specificity is imperfect as absence of middle cerebral artery (MCA) flow may be transient or basilar artery (BA) flow may still be present; when systolic spikes are present in multiple intracranial compartments, recovery is unlikely. TCD is especially helpful in patients with suspected brain death who have loss of brainstem function due to isolated brainstem lesions or who received sedative or paralytic agents that render clinical examination or interpretation of electroencephalogram (EEG) difficult. Based on the evidence, the AAN assessment concluded that TCD can confirm the clinical diagnosis of brain death, and is a useful adjunct test for the evaluation of cerebral circulatory arrest associated with brain death.
Intracranial atherosclerosis is responsible for up to 10% of transient ischemic attacks (TIA) and strokes. TCD ultrasound offers a noninvasive method of detecting discrete stenoses or occlusions of the intracranial vessels. The Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA) policy, which is based partially on the BCBSA Technology Evaluation Center 1994 (TEC) Assessment, concluded that aggregate evidence suggests TCD ultrasound is moderately to highly (73-95%) sensitive and highly (90-100%) specific relative to cerebral angiography for detection of intracranial stenosis or occlusion in patients who have TIA or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) of unknown etiology, after cardiac and extracranial carotid artery evaluation; TCD results can occasionally influence the use of therapeutic options. In addition, the AAN assessment states that TCD is probably useful for the evaluation of patients with suspected intracranial steno-occlusive disease, but that data are insufficient to give a recommendation regarding replacing conventional angiography with TCD.
The principal cause of stroke following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is embolism from the operative site. Available evidence suggests that intraoperative TCD measurements of collateral flow after carotid clamping for CEA are fairly accurate. The BCBSA TEC assessment noted at least two large studies that suggest intraoperative shunting reduces the CVA rate for patients who have poor collateral flow and increases the CVA rate for patients who have good collateral flow, as measured by TCD. These findings provide direct evidence of a reduced perioperative stroke rate for patients undergoing CEA when TCD ultrasound is used to guide selective intraoperative shunt use and severe ischemia is used as the criterion for intraoperative shunting. The AAN assessment also states that CEA monitoring with TCD can provide feedback that may help the surgeon take appropriate measures at all stages of the operation to reduce risk of perioperative stroke.
Contrast transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (cTCD) has been studied as a diagnostic technique for assessing cardiac right-to-left shunt (RLS), such as PFO. Spencer et al. reported 98% sensitivity and 94% accuracy when detecting PFO with power motion-mode transcranial imaging, compared with 91% sensitivity and 99% accuracy with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). However, the presence of microbubbles in the cerebral circulation is not exclusive to an interatrial communication. Any cause of RLS, including ventricular septal defect and pulmonary arteriovenous malformation, can lead to a positive transcranial Doppler reading for a cardiac RLS, thus lowering the specificity of this test. The AAN technology assessment states "Data show a high correlation between contrast-enhanced TCD and contrast-enhanced TEE, with essentially 100% concordance for the "clinically significant" high number of particles shunted. Nevertheless, the sensitivity and specificity of contrast TCD for detecting right-to-left cardiac or extracardiac (pulmonary arteriovenous) shunts may vary by center, protocol, and diagnostic criteria. The routine performance of the Valsalva maneuver during testing can improve sensitivity and specificity. The sensitivity of contrast TCD can also be improved by using a higher volume of agitated saline (10 mL instead of 5 mL), use of Echovist (especially Echovist-300) instead of agitated saline, or repeating the Valsalva maneuver if the initial result is negative. Contrast TCD is comparable with contrast TEE for detecting RLS due to PFO. However, TEE is better than contrast TCD because it provides direct anatomic information regarding the site and nature of the shunt or presence of an atrial septal aneurysm. Whereas the number of microbubbles reaching the brain can be quantified by TCD, the therapeutic impact of this additional information is unknown. The AAN concluded that, although TCD is able to provide information, other tests are typically preferable for diagnosing right-to-left cardiac shunts; TEE is superior because it can provide direct information regarding the anatomic site and nature of the shunt.
The AAN technology assessment reported that there is probable evidence that vasomotor reactivity (VMR) testing techniques with TCD can detect abnormalities of cerebral hemodynamics in patients with risk factors for or symptoms of cerebrovascular disease, and is probably useful for detection of impaired cerebral hemodynamics in patients with asymptomatic severe (>70%) stenosis of the extracranial internal carotid artery, extracranial internal carotid artery occlusion, and cerebral small artery disease. However, how the results from these techniques can be used to influence therapy and affect patient outcomes remains to be determined.
The AAN also reported that new hardware and software technical capabilities may help detection of microembolic signal, and discrimination from artifact. However, accurate and reliable characterization of embolus size and composition is not possible with current technology, and data have not shown that detection of microemboli signals leads to improved patient outcomes. In addition, although TCD is probably useful to detect cerebral microemboli signals in a wide variety of cardiovascular/cerebrovascular disorders and/or procedures, current data do not support the use of microemboli detection with TCD for diagnosis, or for monitoring response to antithrombotic therapy in ischemic cerebrovascular disease.
TCD has been proposed as a technique to monitor vasodilator therapy in patients with developmental or behavioral disorders. It has been hypothesized that these disorders are related to cerebral vasospasm that can be relieved by vasodilator therapy. However, a search of the MEDLINE database failed to identify any peer-reviewed articles focused on this therapy.
Neither the BCBSA nor the AAN technology assessments found sufficient data to support the routine use of TCD for other indications including, but not limited to: migraine; cerebral venous thrombosis; evaluating hemodynamic importance of extracranial atherosclerosis; monitoring during cerebral angiography; evaluation of arteriovenous malformations (AVM); evaluation of cerebral autoregulation in other settings; evaluating hydrocephalus, dementia, or glaucoma; evaluating blood flow patterns in central nervous system infection; assessing cerebral blood flow during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery or after head trauma.

A quick decision to form an SIT to tackle black money at home and abroad shows an unmatched resolve of the Modi government to bring transparency into public life. The public impression is that the UPA was dragging its feet for reasons best known to it. It was specifically accused of trying to protect those who did not deserve even the slightest clemency. The foreign banks' — holding the untaxed booty — reluctance to divulge information of account holders, was touted by PM Singh's government as one major reason why it could not move forward. But now there is hope. The SIT, headed by a former apex court judge, who is assisted by another judge of the same rank, has the right composition to deliver results in quick time.
We had managed to get some information from Germany on monies held by a few Indians in a Liechtenstein bank. This was only a tip of the iceberg. Not long ago UK could get into a pact with Swiss banks even though it involved giving an assurance of confidentiality of individual names until and unless the latter were taken to court. Why can't we do likewise? Stooping to conquer is fair in this regard.
We are obsessed with illegal accumulations in Switzerland. There are many other locations. Our financial intelligence system needs to be toned up immediately. Like fighting terrorism, we need the assistance of many other countries, particularly the US and UK. Any reservations here on grounds of security will be ill-founded. The SIT has its task cut out.
Let us begin with by introducing what is known in the US as the Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) declaration which is obligatory for every 'US person' (citizen/resident/entities, including but not limited to corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies created or organised in the US). We need to conceive of a similar annual declaration from all those who are statutorily liable to file IT returns. This would disclose any foreign holdings, including bank accounts. An executive order to this effect is very much warranted well before the next IT return becomes due. Any false declaration would invite severe penalties, including criminal prosecution.
On the domestic front, the focus should be on real estate transactions. The fact that many office buildings and high-end apartments in major cities remain unoccupied even after completion of purchase transactions is a pointer to what is now the most popular parking destination for the dishonest. This unholy system that feeds the greed of political bigwigs is the biggest obstacle to the task of ferreting out untaxed income.
The abolition of Estate Duty in the mid '80s had promoted the bequeathing of unaccounted for money and property to heirs with no legal liability to the latter. Tweaking of the IT laws to pass on financial liability will be a deterrent. Demonetisation of currency notes of Rs500 and above coupled with insistence on plastic money or mobile phone transfers for all transactions above Rs1,000 will greatly reduce the volume of unaccounted cash. There has lately been a commendable expansion of the banking system to rural areas. Villagers must be told that their money is safer in banks than in the form of cash at home. The common man has got used to ATMs as much as he is to mobile phones. More ATMs in villages will greatly aid the fight against unaccounted money.
All the proposed moves will be of no avail, however, if we continue to have a dishonest enforcement machinery. The number of senior IT officials found guilty of corruption is of great discomfort. The local police and CBI are also prone to dishonesty. It is the IT administration that is most directly involved in the corrupt processes of tax collection. All reforms should therefore begin at this point. They need not, however, necessarily stop there.

Special Order
From Timothy Zahn, Hugo Award winner and "New York Times" bestselling author of two landmark Star Wars(R) series, comes an original new tale featuring a renegade space pilot, his unusual alien partner, and an unknown cargo that can change the course of galactic history.
Jordan McKell has a problem with authority. Unfortunately for him, the iron-fisted authority of the powerful Patthaaunutth controls virtually every aspect of galactic shipping. In order to survive, Jordan ekes out a living dabbling in interstellar smuggling for outlaw concerns that represent the last vestiges of free trade in the galaxy. So when Jordan and his partner, Ixil--an alien with two ferret-like "outhunters" linked to his neural system--are hired by a mysterious gentleman to fly a ship and its special cargo to Earth, they jump at the job.
Caution has never been one of Jordan's strong suits. But this time he may have taken on more than even he can handle. The ship, Icarus, turns out to be a ramshackle hulk, the ragtag crew literally picked up off the street, and the cargo so secret, it's sealed in a special container that takes up most of the cramped and ill-designed ship. As if that weren't bad enough, it looks like the authorities already suspect something is afoot, there's a saboteur aboard, and the Icarus appears to be shaking apart at the seams.
It doesn't seem as if things could get any worse. That is, until a beautiful crew member helps McKell uncover the true nature of the cargo he's carrying. With his enemies closing in on the lumbering Icarus, the unknown saboteur still aboard, and authorities on Earth pressured to turn them in, McKell and Ixil become fugitives. Their only chance is to stay one step ahead of their pursuers as they try to make it home.
A bold and epic novel filled with unrelenting action and a good dose of humor, The Icarus Hunt is a wild hyperspace romp through the galaxy.

We needed to replace our older top-load with a washer that would save energy but also not break the bank. We had heard that HE washers took some getting used to and this one took us a week or loads to finally feel comfortable with, but we noticed the low water useage immediately. Thew clothes also came out very clean. Of course HE washers do require what is generally a more expensive detergent. It took us a bit of homework to find laundry products that would do the trick on sale or using coupons, but so far, with careful shopping, our costs have not gone up at all. The only thing that we have noticed is that using the recommended fabric softener ball, the washer rinses so thoroughly (still using less water than before) than the "fresh smell" most fabric softeners advertise is lacking in clothes coming out of the washer, however, the spin cycle is so efficient that clothes need much less time in the dryer, now. We're saving money on both energy uses, plus it is so quiet we barely hear it running, even with heavy loads.

This machine is really cool in how it work. I love that it uses less water and still gets my clothes clean. The clothes are pushed up in the center of the washer and pulled down into the water on the sides. This design is ill suited for washing sheets or comforters. I've noticed after a load is finish that a sheet sometimes gets stretched over the top of everything and just stays there the whole wash cycle (I've also checked on it during a cycle to see what was happening since I have the clear glass lid). It never gets rotated around into the water thus never gets clean. Also when I put a small comforter in the washer, it won't move around at all. I can't put anything else in with it, so nothing pushed up through the middle or pulled down on the sides. It just barely moves at all and doesn't get clean. The part above the water level stays above the water level, and everything below the water level stays below the water level. I've tried using different cycles and loading things differently to fix the problem. Nothing works!

Overall it is good, with small exceptions
By Maureen17
from Sand Lake, NY
I found it does not fully rinse the soap out of clothing ( yes, I use the correct, small amount of HE detergent). This is an extreme annoyance, since some pieces must be re-rinsed by hand, then put back in to spin out the excess water. I thought perhaps I had overloaded, but found it true in small loads as well. Also, when you stop the unit, it does not "continue" when you re-close it, it starts completely over. I do love it's quiet cycles and high capacity.
Very nice washer

The owner's manual says this washer makes some strange noises, and that is very true. Plenty of clicking, but I guess it's normal. Cleans the clothes, though, and that's all that matters.

Very good machine, quiet too
By ozmagoddess
from Newport News, VA
We bought this machine when our all in one unit died (after a house sitter tried to wash a queen size comforter in it!). We chose this machine because it was HE and easy to use. We didn't want terribly fancy controls since our teenagers would be using it. The controls are on a back panel so little fingers can't accidentally on purpose turn it on. The only thing I wish it had was a soak option. You just have to remember to pause the machine so basically it has a "manual" pause. It does take longer than a regular machine BUT the water usage is dramatically less so we're okay with that. Overall, we are very happy with the machine.
I like the water saving feature
By Katie819
from Eagle Point, Oregon
Water is becoming very expensive so having the machine measure the exact amount of water needed is very convenient.
This machine has many good features
By redhead67
from Undisclosed
We purchased this machine to replace a front loading machine which I did not care for. I like the many features that are included. However, the sound level is annoying. Our laundry is in the hallway of our home, so it is very distracting. I wish there was a way to quiet the machine when in the wash & rinse cycles.
Awesome for the price paid
By kumar
from phoenix,az
This washer is able to handle all loads we have thrown at it. Without the agitator, we are able to wash big blankets and bedsheets without having them ripped. Auto sensing technology makes it easy.
Large tub, spins clothes almost dry.
By Suelynn
from Oregon
Nice large tub, easy to use, spins clothes almost dry. Wish it had a liquid fabric softener dispenser. A Downet ball is recommended however they have stopped making them! Also when washing dark clothes, the soap is not always dissolved and leaves soap residue on the clothes requiring a second rinse.
Good product for reasonable price.

Enjoy the HE in a top load model. Simple to use and can handle big loads.

One year ago, rising oil prices were taking travel costs to new heights and business travelers were feeling the pinch. Now travel prices are falling again, fueled by the global recession, and airlines, hoteliers and car rental companies are taking evasive actions to survive. Here are ten trends caused by the global economic meltdown, and what they will mean for business travelers in 2009:
1. Air travel on sale. With fewer travelers in this sputtering economy, airlines are desperately trying to fill seats. From January 2007 through July 2008, U.S. airlines raised fares 32 times, according to FareCompare.com. Less than two months into the new year, U.S. airlines have initiated 25 fare sales and prices are back to pre-2007 levels in many markets. If you still have funds in your travel budget, this is a good time to fly.
2. Capacity cuts continue. To counteract declining travel demand, U.S. airlines continue to trim their schedules. Most have already eliminated 10% to 20% of domestic flights and the Air Transport Association projects the seven largest U.S. airlines will cut another 3% to 10% this year. This means fewer seats available for last-minute purchase and more involuntarily denied boardings on oversold flights.
3. Ancillary fees proliferate. Although base airfares are declining, airlines are unlikely to relinquish the added revenues from those annoying ancillary fees for checked luggage, meals and snacks, in-flight entertainment, seat selection and more. United Airlines expects to earn $1.2 billion in ancillary fees in 2009. It's difficult to avoid most fees unless you are an elite member of that airline's frequent-flier program. Continental is the only major U.S. airline not charging for meals in coach and Southwest has shunned a la carte pricing, at least for now.
Unfortunately, hotels are learning from airlines to replicate these most successful, but hugely unpopular, fees. Some hotels are quietly removing amenities like cookies or fruit from lobby areas, or newspapers or toiletries from guest rooms. In other cases some hotels have begun charging guests for formerly free services like Internet access.
4. Trimming and downgrading travel spending. A recent survey by the Association of Corporate Travel Executives found over 70% of corporations trimming their travel budgets by 10% to 20% this year. Many corporations are downgrading travelers from business to economy class on long-haul flights and lowering the hotel class used for business travel. If you're lucky enough to fly business class and rent at upscale hotels, you'll have an easier time finding flights and rooms.
5. Pursuing the business traveler. When times are tough, travel suppliers focus on their best customers, those who generate most of their revenue and profit. Even in this dismal economy many airlines are upgrading first- and business-class cabins and service, particularly on long-haul routes. But the pursuit of business travelers isn't limited to long-haul, global airlines. Southwest recently implemented priority boarding and free cocktails for full fare "Business Select" travelers, and pushed families with small children back in the boarding process. Southwest has also installed special seating with power outlets and USB hookups in their boarding areas, and is touting its no-change-fee policy to attract business travelers. Southwest and jetBlue are also among a growing number of airlines testing Wi-Fi in-flight.

California family whose child is thriving in the special education system has an important message for all parents and educators about not teaching fear through over protectiveness. This family is sharing their story of how they learned to let their child's wild side out, despite her lack of sight due to an extremely premature birth and its complications. They have taken an unexpected, shocking event and turned it into informed advocacy for all children with special needs and their siblings. www.babymilagro.org/dvd.
Hayward, CA (PRWEB) -- The five year-old girl glides gracefully down the escalator with her long white cane. At the bottom, she laughs and says, "That's so funny" as people look on in wonder. For anyone in the train station that night who believed that blind people are dependent and helpless, their attitudes were likely changed by watching this tiny, young girl move so fluidly and independently. Now parents as far away as Tasmania, Australia are watching these images as the child's family celebrates the shipment of the 100th DVD called, "Letting Your Child's Wild Side Out."
When their first child was born at 25 weeks gestation weighing just over a pound, Graciela and Genro Sato could only pray she would live. During the nearly five-month hospitalization that followed, they learned to speak Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) lingo to advocate for their daughter's medical treatment. This included five surgeries at four different

Singh met family of Gajendra Singh, the farmer who allegedly hanged himself from a tree at Jantar Mantar in Delhi where AAP's farmers' rally was in progress.
The judge then asked Singh's counsel to file an affidavit regarding the CD so that case may proceed unhindered.
Congress Deputy Leader in Lok Sabha Capt Amarinder Singh today said Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has fallen back on 'panthic' agenda after failing on the economic and law and order front.
"Badal had already traded off state's interests by giving water to Haryana when Punjab did not have enough for itself," Amarinder Singh said.
While Amarinder sounded the bugle of revolt against Bajwa, the leadership is not willing to hand him the reins of the state unit.
India's exit from the World Cup semi-finals had no bearing on his fans as they crowded the premises of Deori temple and sought autograph from the Ranchi hero.
The family of Gajendra Singh, who who died at an AAP rally here last month, expressed happiness at Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government's move to name the farmers' compensation scheme after him.
Khushwant Singh concedes that reason and logic have their limitations and cannot probe the ultimate mysteries of our existence.

Union Pacific "Big Boy" Locomotive
Posted 12 October 2010 - 09:43 AM
Posted 12 October 2010 - 10:27 AM

Posted 12 October 2010 - 02:37 PM
You know, George, you really got me thinking about hearing about the "Fast Flying Virginian" being a 4-8-8-4 locomotive, beacause from everything I had ever read, the 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement was unique to the "Big Boy" and Union Pacific. I decided to do some research, and "Bing"ed fast flying virginian, and all I really got from that was videos of modern trains that must run on a route called that, but then I remembered you mentioned the Henry Ford museum, so I tried their site, and guess what, I found the train you were talking about! According to the site, this was an engine used in the coal fields right here in Wild, Wonderful West Virginia, and it's a C&O Allegheny type, and here's the picture thanks to the Henry Ford Museum site.
Matt, years ago, I once had the pleasure of working with a gentleman who used to work as a coalman on a train called the 'Fast Flying Virginian" It used to haul coal thru the mountains of West Virginia. Once, we went to the Henry Ford Museum and saw the real thing. That monster is HUGE!!! It too is a 4-8-8-4 locomotive, and when he tells me it used to shake the ground a 1/2 a mile away from the track, i can believe it.These things musta been a site to see!!!
Even though I haven't been lucky enough to either have one of these monsters in my H.O. scale train collection or to have seen one in person, they are very close to the "Big Boy", but the wheel arrangement is a 2-6-6-6. I once seen a show on the History Channel that was on the steam giants like these two engines that stated, even though the Allegheny was built for the slow moving coal drags here in the eastern mountains and the Big Boy was for fast freights out west and neither were used in comparable service, the Allegheny was more powerful.
Unfortunately, at least in the northern part of the state, most all of our railroad heratige is gone, with only to active raillines still around, but I've been a railfan since I was born, I first visited Cass Scenic Railroad at 6 months old, and many times since! I also had my first trainset as a Christmas present from my father before I was one year old. I really wish I could have been around in the heyday of these giants, but I wasn't that lucky, but the model railroad hobby at least let's me enjoy it in a smaller scale. I figured I'd pull this beauty out of the box, too, my 3 truck Shay locomotive from my favorite place, Cass Scenic Railroad.
I figured while I had it out, too, I'd sit both side by side just to show how massive the Big Boy is.
Oh, and by the way, the Shay is not a model, it is a powered H.O. scale from Spectrum.
Posted 12 October 2010 - 02:44 PM
Thanks, Mike, and it sometimes seems railroading and modeling tend to go hand in hand. I've never repainted or redecaled any yet, but I do buy the kit railcars from time to time as a "quick build" when I want to put a model together, but just don't want the hassle of painting. I've always wanted a layout, too, but either had the space and no money or, like now, no space for one. My train collection spends most of the year in their boxes, only to come out for Christmas to run around the Christmas tree!
That IS one huge engine and a good locking build. I tried trains when trying to get my son into modeling (I always wanted a HO Layout) and painted and decaled a cheap Ahearn diesel and boxcars in New Haven colors. It was a fun break when I was getting back into modeling ,,and counts as a completion for me!!

That should pull a hill with no problems..

Thanks Rodney!
Awesome looking Train and HUGE too boot..
That should pull a hill with no problems..
Thanks David, but like I said in the relpy to George, the Shay is just as I bought it. The only one I can take credit for is the Big Boy!
Wow! Those two are simply Amazing! Great likeness and Detail! I Love it! .
EDIT: By the way, David, the next time you get a chance to get to Cheyenne, stop by Holliday Park on U.S. 30, you'll find Big Boy 4004 there!
Edited by highway, 12 October 2010 - 06:54 PM.
Posted 12 October 2010 - 07:02 PM
That gives the history of the engine, and also the locations of the surviving locomotives, such as 4006 in St Louis, MO, which is the one mine is numbered after. Also, if you noticed, 4006 also logged the highest mileage of the Big Boys on the Union Pacific line at just somewhat over 1,000,000 miles! Here's a pic of the real 4006 from the site.
Posted 12 October 2010 - 09:02 PM
Hey matt Union Pacific is also the only line that has a working BigBoy that still pulls, Im a N scale train modeler and I model UP. I'll have to show you my layout one day.
I figured while I was looking things up, here's a site that is going to be helpful to me in building the other two kits I still have left to do.

I was aware they had a Challenger 4-6-6-4, (#3985 if I remember correctly offhand) which is more or less a smaller Big Boy, still running occasional scenic passenger runs, but I didn't know they still had an operational Big Boy, too! I'll be very interested in seeing your layout, too, I've always been a fan of UP.

Okay I sure will. I did not know one was there, I do now.
Posted 13 October 2010 - 01:59 AM
Even though it is H.O. scale, which is 1/87 scale for those not into model trains, this is a massive engine at almost 18 inches long.
In the early 90's I travelled to Omaha, Nebraska to see the Big Boy they had there, and it was massive, next to it they had the later Union pacific DD, which was a monster ....
Edited by GeeBee, 13 October 2010 - 01:59 AM.
Posted 13 October 2010 - 05:16 AM
Most people alive today have no idea how truly flippin massive these monsters were. The main driving wheels, of which there were sixteen per side, were 68" drivers- that's 5' 8" tall. There were a total of thirty-two of them on the locomotive. The locomotive itself was 85 feet long with a 72 foot wheelbase. Add the pilot gear and tender and the overall length is about 130 feet. At about 16 feet tall from the rail-head, it's longer and taller than most single story homes. Seeing one of these behemoths in person, resting cold and dormant, is an impressive sight to say the least. To see one of these titans alive, breathing fire and hot steam, would be truly awe-inspiring.
edit: I was curious, so I crunched the numbers and found that a 1:25 scale Big Boy would be about 5' 2" long and around 7" tall!

4006 is about 15 miles from where I lived. I remember climbing all over that puppy as a kid.
Posted 13 October 2010 - 08:23 AM
The DD is another UP engine I've always loved, and both it and the Big Boy are reasons I've enjoyed UP equipment, UP just seems to have the biggest engines! I wish I would have remembered when I was still driving over the road, I was in Omaha quite often with a company I drove for headquartered there, I would have made it a point to go to the UP headquarters!

I had this model a LONG time ago as well! Then I got the Con-Cor/Riverrossi unit and remotored it with twin Sagami cans. That thing would PULL.
But anyway, I actually went through all the trouble to drill out all of the ashpan holes and weather the 4-8-8-4. It was destroyed in a move. Hobby Lobby currently has this on their shelves and I was thinking about picking it up and recreating my old build. Thanks foor the memories. And as long as we are talking big Locos here, the 2-10-10-2 is another monster, along with the U.Ps Gas-Turbine prototypes.

External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna, who arrived here on Wednesday on a three-day visit to fine-tune preparations for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit here in September, said he wanted the two neighbours to strengthen and broaden relations.
Mr. Krishna said: "India wishes to discuss the scope for a broader cooperation framework which will significantly improve the livelihood of the people of the two countries. We want to see a prosperous, stable and democratic Bangladesh, [which] is in the interest of both the countries and the region," he told journalists.
"India remains committed to a partnership in the development and prosperity of the people of Bangladesh. Both the countries remain steadfast in their efforts to combat the scourge of terrorism," the Minister observed and said he was looking forward to a productive and focussed interaction on bilateral relations.
Bangladesh Foreign Minister Dipu Moni, who received her Indian counterpart at the airport, said that both sides would discuss the entire gamut of relations. Ms. Moni said Dhaka attached priority to regional connectivity that includes connectivity of ideas, people and cultures. She looked forward to reviewing the progress on earlier decisions, particularly those mentioned in the joint communiqué signed during Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's visit to New Delhi last year. Relations between the two countries were rooted in history, characterised by warmth and cordiality, she said.
Mr. Krishna said both India and Bangladesh are at a historic juncture. "Forward-looking, progressive and pragmatic approaches need to be taken to bring a brighter future. A prosperous, stable and democratic Bangladesh is in the interest of both the countries and the region," he added.

Asterix and the Black Gold (original title: L'Odyssée d'Astérix) is the twenty-sixth volume of Asterix comic book series, originally published in 1981. It is the second book to be published after the death of René Goscinny and is thus both written and drawn by Albert Uderzo.
The book describes Asterix's and Obelix's voyage to the Middle East. It is mainly inspired by James Bond films and biblical tales.
Plot summary[edit]
The book begins with Asterix and Obelix hunting wild boar. One boar is crafty and leads them straight into a Roman patrol. The Gauls promptly forget about boars and beat the daylights out of the patrol instead. In the midst of the battle, the boars escape with their lives. Later in the story, Asterix ponders on their constantly finding Roman patrols whenever they go boar-hunting.
Back in Rome, Julius Caesar hears of this, thinks the Gauls are training wild boars to find Roman patrols, and is humiliated. He orders M. Devius Surreptitius, the head of M.I.VI, the Roman Secret Service, to send an agent to infiltrate the Gauls. This agent is a Gaulish-Roman druid known as Dubbelosix, who travels in a folding chariot full of secret devices. Dubbelosix and Surreptitius communicate via a carrier fly, who develops a crush for Dubbelosix. However, it is revealed Surreptitius is plotting to overthrow Caesar and sends a self-destructing letter to Dubbelosix telling him they will rule together, though Dubbelosix says he will rule Rome himself.
In the Gaulish village, Getafix is extremely frustrated and depressed, because he has run out of rock oil. Without rock oil, he can't make any more magic potion and the village will soon fall against the Romans.
The next day, Ekonomikrisis the Phoenician merchant arrives in Gaul. This cheers Getafix up, but he soon finds out that Ekonomikrisis forgot to bring any rock oil. This causes him to have a stroke, and chief Vitalstatistix tells Asterix and Obelix to fetch another druid to treat him. This druid turns out to be Dubbelosix, who successfully revives Getafix with an alcoholic tonic.
Asterix decides that the best thing to do would be for himself, Obelix and Dogmatix to go to Mesopotamia and bring back the rock oil. Dubbelosix insists on coming with them and they set off on Ekonomikrisis' ship. Along the way, they fight pirates and Roman warships, obviously winning each battle: but unknown to them, Dubbelosix is sending covert messages to the Romans so they can prevent the Gauls from completing their quest.
The Phoenician ship is finally able to land at Judea, where Asterix, Obelix, Dogmatix and Dubbelosix disembark and head for the city of Jerusalem. The Romans form a heavy presence in the city but some sympathising merchants help the Gauls to get in secretly in spite of an attempt by Dubbelosix to alert the city guards. Leaving the treacherous druid behind, Asterix and Obelix make contact with Ekonomikrisis' friend, Samson Alius who advises them to go to Babylon since all the rock oil in Jerusalem has been seized and destroyed by the Romans.
The way to Babylon is across a huge desert, but in the middle of the desert, Asterix, Obelix and Dogmatix find a source of rock oil in the ground so they fill a waterskin with it and head back home. Since Caesar has all ports sealed off to prevent their escape, the two Gauls simply capture Caesar's personal galley — along with Surreptitius and Dubbelosix who have been awaiting the developments on board. However a message is sent to the Romans that makes them decide to attack the village, thinking they cannot make magic potion.
Unfortunately, just before landing back in Gaul, Dubbelosix grabs hold of the waterskin of rock oil and, as he tries to force it open, Obelix, despite the objections of Asterix, leaps upon him, causing the waterskin to break open and send the oil into the sea; the first oil spill in recorded history. Asterix has lost all hope, but when they come back to the village, they find the Gauls fighting Romans as merrily as ever. It turns out that Getafix has been able to substitute beetroot juice for rock oil and thus produce more magic potion, which also tastes nicer. Asterix has a stroke when he realises that the journey has been for nothing.
All ends well for the Gauls; at their usual celebratory feast the crafty boars comment that the holidays are over. The Gauls send the bound and gagged Dubbelosix and Surreptitius back to Caesar in a gift-wrapped box. Caesar sends them to the Circus Maximus as punishment for failure — with a new show added for a twist: they are covered in honey and chased by bees. The lovesick carrier fly follows behind.
- An audiobook of Asterix and the Black Gold adapted by Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge and narrated by William Rushton was released on Hodder and Stoughton's Hodder Children's Audio.
- The character Dubbelosix is an obvious homage to Sean Connery, star of the early James Bond movies. Uderzo modelled him on the appearance of Connery at the time the book was being drawn. Dubbelosix uses many ancient times versions of the popular gadgets of the Bond movies. His name is a pun on "006" (i.e. "007") — the "six" being required for the "-ix" suffix of all Gaulish names in Asterix, and also reflecting the number of times Sean Connery portrayed the role of James Bond on screen, which at the time was six.
- When attempting to cure Getafix, Dubbelosix administers "a grain spirit called Caledonian", which is explained as "Ancient Scotch". This is a pun referring to the drink and the people — all the more so since Connery is Scottish himself.
- The secret service run by Surreptius is referred to as M.I.VI. "VI" is 6 in Roman numerals, and MI6 is the name of the British espionage service.
- Surreptitius is a caricature of actor Bernard Blier and bears some resemblance to James Bond's early bosses M (played in the films by Bernard Lee and Robert Brown)
- The scene where the papyrus bearing instructions self-destructs after being read is a reference to Mission: Impossible where messages destroyed themselves after being received.
- Saul ben Ephishul ("It's All Beneficial"), the Jew who escorts Asterix and Obelix from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea is based on Asterix creator and writer René Goscinny (also of Jewish stock), who had died four years earlier.
- Asterix's and Obelix's visit to Jerusalem is full of references to the Bible. For example, Economikrisis mentions on page 29 that they have arrived in "the promised land". Asterix and Obelix spend the night in a stable in Bethlehem, and Saul ben Ephishul mentions the story of David and Goliath and the Roman procurator — known as "Pontius Pirate" (a reference to Pontius Pilate) — is constantly washing his hands.
- Pontius Pirate resembles French actor Jean Gabin.
- In the desert, Asterix and Obelix run into several warrior groups from historical Mesopotamian cultures — Sumerians, Assyrians, Hittites, Medes etc. — who each greet them with a hail of arrows because they mistake them for their enemies. Incidentally, the cultures have conquered each other in the reversed order in which they appear in the comic; i.e. the Medes conquered the Assyrians, the Akkadians conquered the Sumerians etc. Their presence is, however, anachronistic, as these cultures no longer existed in Roman times. The entire sequence is a reference to the later 20th century conflicts in the Middle East.
- The Herodian Kingdom of Israel is anachronistically referred as Palestine — this name came into use only in the 2nd century CE, whereas Asterix is set c. 50 BCE.
- The bird who gets oil over him and angrily shouts: "Oh no, don't tell me you are starting already!" is a reference to oil spills, most notably the Amoco Cadiz which sank in 1978 in front of the coast of Brittany, where the home village of Asterix is located, according to the series.
- The scene of Jerusalem is taken one on one from the Holyland hotel 2nd temple model as can be seen here [1] in its original location (in a 3d view). This model has been moved to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
- The Jews are all depicted as Yemenite Jews, with dark skin and black eyes and beards, a tribute to Marc Chagall the famous painter whose painting of King David hangs at the Knesset (Israeli Parliament).
- Uderzo includes several small references to Jewish traditions.
- The Gauls leave Jerusalem through the Lions' Gate, which, while drawn very accurately, was in fact built more than 1500 years after the timeline of the Asterix comic. The gate is part of Sultan Suleiman's outer wall, which still stands today.
- Several characters in the story comment on the uselessness and nastiness of rock oil, wondering why anybody would want it; this starkly contrasts the dependency on petroleum which marks our own time.
- In the Norwegian translation, the new magic potion ingredient that has replaced rock oil is not identified.

LUBBOCK, TX -- A Slaton man, Adrian Tino Guerrero, 28, was arrested last week and charged with receipt of child pornography. The complaint says between July and November Guerrero knowingly received a sexually explicit image of an underage girl with an adult man. A special agent with the Department of Homeland Security filed a sworn statement in support of the charge, however that statement has been sealed. Guerrero is held in the Lubbock County Jail, and will appear before a federal magistrate on Monday.

As climate change litigation proceeds throughout the country, three cases, Comer v. Murphy Oil, Connecticut v. American Electric Power and Native Village of Kivalina v. ExxonMobil, provide indications of the Supreme Court's potential role in shaping the legal landscape of climate change. The Fifth Circuit's May 28, 2010 order dismissing the en banc appeal in Comer has provided renewed interest in this issue.
In Comer, property owners along the Gulf Coast brought a putative class action alleging the activities of energy, chemical and fossil fuel companies had contributed to global warming. The class claimed that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the defendants' operations contributed to rising sea levels and severe hurricanes resulting, ultimately, in property damage. The district court granted defendants' motion to dismiss, finding plaintiffs' claims presented non-justiciable political questions. A Fifth Circuit panel disagreed and the case was remanded for arguments on the merits. Defendants immediately moved for a rehearing en banc.

hi, a real noob question this. got a hermes 300 on t-mo wnw. even if I have no programs running that require access to internet (ie, opera, msn messenger) the phone reconnects to my 3g internet connection every few minutes. firstly, does this matter, i.e. is it sucking up my data allowance? secondly, how do I get it to stop doing this if necessary? one possible pointer: it didn't do this before I started using msn live messenger. any help gratefully received...
