Department of Pediatrics : Residency Programs : Internal Medicine - Pediatrics : Med-Peds Residents
John Amadon, MD • LSU • Fourth Year, Chief Resident
Without a second thought I could echo all the wonderful things my colleagues have said about the MUSC Med-Peds program. But the most glowing compliment I can express is that, given the residency application process to do all over again, I wouldn't change a thing.
Rachel Dahlborg, MD • New York Medical College • Fourth Year, Chief Resident
I had visited Charleston a few times before interviewing at MUSC and knew that I loved the area. When I was preparing for my interview at MUSC, I was initially concerned about the class size with 2 residents per year. However, when I came for my interview, the med/peds group felt kind of like a family. Also, all the residents I met in both medicine and pediatrics were very friendly. After working here for a year, I have been really impressed with the faculty who not only care about our education, but make it a fun and comfortable work environment. It turns out that I didn't need to worry about the class size at all because the other half of my class is pretty cool. ;) And after a long day in the MICU or NICU I can be in my kayak on the intracoastal waterway within 30 minutes. I am convinced there is no better place for residency.
Sarah Adams, MD • University of Tennessee • Third Year
I was looking for a program that had a great balance of pediatrics and internal medicine. MUSC had that. Not to mention all the residents were so friendly. I enjoyed meeting everyone and they made me feel welcome. I was impressed with the variety of fellowship programs available in both internal medicine and pediatrics. I know that I will get excellent training on both sides and will get exposure to a variety of subspecialties. I wanted to leave my residency feeling comfortable with practicing anywhere in the country. I felt that MUSC would train me to be an awesome physician, and allow me to enjoy a beautiful place to live at the same time!
Stephanie Gaydos, MD • Southern Illinois University • Third YearWhen looking at Med-Peds programs, I wanted a place with strong categorical programs, a firm academic foundation, diverse patient populations, supportive people to work with, and a great location. Sounds like a lot to hope for, but MUSC had it all. Looking back on the places I had interviewed, it stood out as the only place where multiple residents described their experience as "the best years of their life." The small class size enables Med-Peds residents to truly integrate into both programs very well, in addition to benefiting from schedule flexibility and a "family feel" within our program. I feel fortunate to come to work each day in a striving academic center with people who are actually happy to be here and want to help you along the way. Also, there just aren't enough good things to say about living in Charleston and being able to spend days off at the beach!
Andy Nielson, MD • University of Tennessee • Second Year
Having lived the first 27 years of my life in West Tennessee, I decided that I wanted to try something new during residency. Being a 'small-town guy', I was looking for a residency with a strong sense of community and camaraderie, and clearly a strong academic program in both medicine and pediatrics. With that being said, I went all over the eastern part of the country for residency interviews. At MUSC, I found the perfect blend of community with the residents and faculty, an amazing city filled with history, some of the most incredible restaurants in the country, and the Atlantic ocean fifteen minutes from downtown! The smaller Med-Peds group was the perfect fit for me and the categorical sides were a nice medium size, so I knew it would be easy to fit right in! My interview at MUSC was fairly early in the season, and every week or so I would reevaluate my list, and every week MUSC was at the top. I can't begin to describe the quality of the program, faculty, residents and city, it's simply something you have to see for yourself! Come visit soon!
|Sonia Savani, MD • University of South Alabama • Second Year
Finding a residency program to call your new home is definitely a daunting process. I remember being absolutely terrified I was never going to be able to find one that fit me perfectly. I was looking for a strong academic center that gave me diverse opportunities to explore Med/Peds, equally strong categorical programs, and a place where Med/Peds had its own presence and identity. In addition to that (and most importantly), I needed a place where the residents were truly happy. When I came to MUSC, I was struck by how supportive everyone was: the residents, faculty, administration…everyone. There was a level of camaraderie that I saw on my externship and then again on my interview day that stayed with me. Residency is a tough time all around anywhere you go, but having people around you that are there encouraging you every step of the way is something that should not be taken for granted. I've only just started my residency program here at MUSC, and I could not be happier with my choice. It truly has everything that I was looking for. The small Med/Peds class size leads to a tight, close-knit community of people that will become your family and your biggest cheerleaders, and the categorical Medicine and Pediatrics programs are both very strong and easy to integrate into. At MUSC, not only will get you get an incredible training experience preparing you for ANY route you would like to go, but you will also meet amazing people along the way in one of the most beautiful cities in this country. I could talk about it all day, but come see us and find out for yourselves!! I look forward to meeting you!
KC Head, MD • George Washington • First Year
Mithu Maheswaranathan, MD • MUSC • First Year
Having attended medical school at MUSC, I witnessed and experienced the many strengths of our Med/Peds and categorical programs. Going into the application process, I was interested in exploring many programs and traveled extensively across the East Coast. After the end of the interview cycle, I realized that MUSC would offer me one of the best experiences possible for residency training: a strong academic program balanced by supportive residents and faculty, a close-knit Med/Peds family with effortless integration with the categorical programs, and a beautiful city to enjoy when out of the hospital. From the excellent teaching at morning reports to resident-driven abstracts or research projects, or the community bread and butter cases to challenging rare presentations given the large referral area, MUSC offers so many learning experiences for residents in training. This is a place where faculty and residents are passionate, driven, and supportive with an enthusiasm that is contagious. I am so happy to continue my medical training here for residency, and hope you come visit us to see for yourself what all MUSC has to offer!

It was Halloween and Harley Braun was at a dance. But at this dance, Braun, a petite 17-year-old with brown hair and a wide smile, wasn't surrounded by peers at school. Instead, she was in Maine at Camp Sunshine, a not-for-profit retreat for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.
As parents and children shimmied in their costumes around her on the dance floor, Braun spotted one mother sitting alone at a nearby table. Braun walked over to chat with the mother. What started as a casual conversation quickly turned into an intense discussion of the mother's feelings about life after treatment. Her 12-year-old son had just been discharged from the hospital after being treated for a brain tumor. The mother had been at her son's side almost 24 hours a day during his hospital stay, despite having three other children at home. Though out of the hospital, the son expected the same relationship to continue at home.
"She doesn't know how to change the dynamics. They are still adjusting to life out of the hospital. As she was telling me this, she was crying and letting go," recalled Braun. "She came off as a very strong woman. It always seemed that she knew what she was doing, but this shows that no one knows how to react."
Camp Sunshine, said Braun, uniquely focuses on supporting the whole family in coping with these feelings as opposed to just the ill child. The camp runs week-long programs throughout the year and is free of charge. Braun has had a hand in charity work for several years. She founded the "Cause for a Cure" club, which raises money for cancer organizations, at the Ross School, where she is a senior. While researching different programs to donate to last year, Braun stumbled upon the Camp Sunshine website and decided to volunteer.
This Saturday, November 14, Braun with the help of her school will host "Camp Sunshine 2009 Carnival @ Ross" to raise money for the organization. It costs around $1,500 to help one family attend a week-long session. Braun is aiming to send at least five families to the camp and has almost reached her $7,500 goal. The Fraternal Order of Police in New York, with whom her father volunteers, made a sizable donation of $5,000. After lobbying her cause at a Ross Lower School parent association meeting, Ross parents who were complete strangers to Braun made financial contributions on Braun's website and wrote notes of encouragement.
"I didn't expect to have so much support. I went to the parent association meeting and when I got home that night someone donated $500," said Braun, with her characteristic enthusiastic charm.
No doubt the Ross parents were impressed by Braun's effusive spirit. Braun beams when talking about the week she spent volunteering at the camp over the summer. Despite the unfortunate circumstances that bring families to the camp, Braun calls it "Disneyland." The children are paired off into ages groups to do activities. while the parents are given some much needed free time and a chance to reconnect with their spouse or other adult family member.
"Everyone wants to make each other feel better. The parents feel like they are home and the kids come to have fun. They realize that there are other children who know what they are going through," explained Braun. "These children aren't the typical children. They have so much more insight. They know how life is such a gift."
Throughout the week, Braun spent her free time and meals getting to know the families. During the day, she was a camp counselor to the six to eight-year-olds. Braun loved the work so much she returned for a weekend over Halloween this year. Over the course of her Camp Sunshine experience, Braun said she formed particularly close relationships with the siblings of the ill children.
As part of her senior year at Ross, Braun is hosting the fundraiser and writing a paper on the effects a diagnosis has on the family, especially the siblings, for her senior project.
"Through my observations, I could tell the siblings wanted more attention. It is hard to say what I would do as a parent. They need people to support them as well," noted Braun.
Braun hopes to continue working with children in the future as a psycho-social worker. She plans to study the field in college and her experiences at Camp Sunshine influenced this choice. At Camp Sunshine, Braun found she not only had a knack for helping children through difficult issues but genuinely enjoyed working with them.
"Growing up, I've always found that when I give back it makes me feel better. When I am with kids it makes me smile. At the camp, there was never a minute where I felt I wasn't doing good enough," remarked Braun. She still keeps in contact with many of the families she made connections with at the camp. Braun expects two of the families to attend the carnival on Saturday.
Braun's carnival will offer a zany list of kid oriented activities including ring tossing, bean bag races, a toilet paper throwing contest, nail painting, magic tricks, a raffle and a bouncy castle. The Hampton Coffee Company has donated the use of their mobile coffee truck. Other local business donated the decorations and gifts for a raffle. All of the proceeds from Saturday's event will be donated to Camp Sunshine.
Camp Sunshine 2009 Carnival @ Ross will be held at the Ross Lower Campus, at 739 Butter Lane in Bridgehampton. The Carnival will be held from 1 to 3:30 p.m. For more information call Harley Braun at (516) 313-3854.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by okoufos Cute Pair The jeans are not as vibrant as they appear in the photo. They are also a tad high waisted. However, i do love the cut of them as well as the pockets on the sides. Perfect warn out, comfy jeans for the spring. 3.20.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by elizabethmack great pair of jeans Love the soft material and not too skinny , not too baggy fit. Wonderful at the sale price. Not skinny fit like the pic. 3.18.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Nat41 Great Jeans I love the pattern on these jeans, they are so stylish. The only negative is that they are a strange fit up top. The waist is very high and the front pocket area is very loose and baggy, nothing a long loose top doesn't hide however. Other than that very flattering. So glad I bought them 3.4.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lori529 absolutly great capris I recieved these today. They look exactly lie the pic. Their true to size. Very soft and comfy. I'm in love with them. I wasn't sure what size to buy so i went with my true size, i was afraid they'd be tight but as always mason scotch is perfect with sizing. I can go between a 29 sometimes 30 depending on style. I got these in a 29. They make your butt look good too. Usually with mason's i get alittle sloutch not with these. Their a perfect fit. I don't no why their not sold out at this price or no reviews. Buy them their cute. Im 5'4" i can wear them down but i think they look cuter pulled up like they look in the pic. Probably with boots maybe down.they'll look good with my chucks too. These will style with anything. I can't wait to wear them! 2.26.2013

Our online degree programs
AA Liberal Arts/Transfer degree
The 64-credit Liberal Arts Associate in Arts (AA) degree is generally considered one of our best transferable degrees. Ellsworth Community College and Marshalltown Community College have articulation agreements with Iowa State University, University of Northern Iowa, and The University of Iowa, which basically state that our AA degree will transfer completely to these universities. How the individual courses will apply at the next level depends on each student's major.
Students who plan to study programs such as accounting, history, paralegal or psychology, for example, can complete an AA at one of our colleges and transfer the credits to a university to be used toward completion of a bachelor's degree. If a student knows that he or she wants to transfer into a specific major, that student can choose electives that emphasize courses in that specific area (such as psychology or business).
We have 51 AA emphases in various areas to help guide students to appropriate electives to transfer. To get an AA degree completed in two years, students should average 16 credits per semester or take additional courses in off-terms such as summer or winter interim.
In addition to the general AA degree available fully online, the AA degree emphases that can be completed online at our colleges (if key courses are chosen as electives) include:
Accounting (major codes: EAPAT/MAPAT)
Communications/Public Relations/Journalism (major codes: EAPJR/MAPJR)
Computer Applications in Business (major codes: EAPCB/MAPCB)
Education, Secondary (major codes: EAPSC/MAPSC)
Finance & Banking (major code: EAPFB, available only through Ellsworth)
History (major codes: EAPHI/MAPHI)
Human Services (major codes: EAPRH/MAPRH)
Paralegal (major code: MAPAR, available only through Marshalltown/IVGrinnell)
Psychology (major codes: EAPPY/MAPPY)
Social Work (major codes: EAPSW/MAPSW)
Sociology (major codes: EAPSS/MAPSS)
AAS Paralegal degree
Iowa Valley offers an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Paralegal degree completely online; if students prefer, some of the coursework can also be taken at our Iowa Valley Grinnell campus. More information ...

The ride is a fully supported journey with well-stocked rest stops, support and gear (SAG) vehicles, GREAT prizes and much more - followed by a post-ride celebration, at the Winking Lizard Tavern!

Due to the terrain, we encourage and recommend that our cyclists ride a recreational, mountain, hybrid or cross bike. Road cycles can be ridden on the trail, but are not ideal. Please visit your nearest Century Cycles location for a FREE BIKE SAFETY INSPECTION!
To learn more about other Aptalis CF Cycle For Life® rides across the country, click here:
How to Get Your Wheels In Motion:
To register as a cyclist, click on the registration tab on the right side of the page.
CF Cycle for Life is a pledge event. In addition to the registration fee we require all cyclists to raise a minimum fundraising amount ($175.00) to participate in the ride.

TIP - When registering you will be asked to state your fundraising goal (which you can change later). You may select any of the amounts from the pull down menu that are ABOVE the ride's minimum fundraising goal. If the minimum fundraising goal is not an option in the pull down menu, you will need to select the shaded block that is immediately above the minimum amount - and then type in any other amount above the minimum.
For everyone's safety, Cycle for Life participants must follow all applicable rules and regulations. Before setting out on the ride please read and familiarize yourself with the Cycle for Life Rules of the road in the cycle guide.
We Will Support You:
Despite this policy, there might still be some individuals with B. cepacia in attendance. B. cepacia is not a risk for otherwise healthy individuals. Learn more about alternative ways in which a person with B. cepacia can participate, or call the CF Foundation at (800) FIGHT-CF. Consult your CF care center physician with medical questions.
Important note on attendance for people with CF and their families:
The health and well-being of people with cystic fibrosis is our top priority. Medical evidence shows that certain bacteria can be passed between individuals who have CF and can lead to worse symptoms and speed decline in lung function. To limit the serious risk of cross-infection between people with CF, only one person with CF may be invited to attend the indoor portion of each CF Foundation-sponsored event. For the outdoor portion of the event, people with CF should maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from each other.
Please note: People with CF and their families should be aware that individuals with CF might choose to attend Foundation events or meetings without notifying event organizers. We strongly discourage this; however, we cannot guarantee that only one person with CF will be present at any indoor Foundation event. For more information, please call your local chapter.

Rousey Optimistic Heading Into 2008
LONG BEACH, Calif. -- Head Coach Steve Rousey is optimistic heading into 2008, and he expressed as much in his comments Wednesday at the 2008 SoCal Baseball Media Day in Long Beach, Calif. "The theme for our team this season is raising expectations," said Rousey. "We're going to wipe the slate clean and go about things the right way."
Coach Rousey and his team have had a tumultuous 12 months. Last February, the team embarked on a 2007 campaign that would see the struggle down the stretch on the way to a eight-place Big West finish. The off-season brought the arrival of the most most heralded freshman class in Rousey's tenure, a much-needed group following the departure of 11 players form the 2007 roster, including three current minor league farmhands.
The fall signaled the start of practices, but that too brough with it a new set of challenges: navigating the brand new NCAA schedule which constrained practices throughout the fall and winter. On February 1st, the Matadors began final preparation for the 2008 season in the form of three weeks of intrasquad games that pit Northridge hitters against Northridge pitchers at full speed. On Monday, the team will finally look ahead to Northwestern, the squad's opening week opponent.
For now, Rousey's counting on a solid returning class to ease the transition for his 17-man freshman class, the largest in all of NCAA Division I baseball.
"I'm really excited about those returners and how they've responded to our elevated expectations," Rousey went on to say. "When you struggle like we did last year, it's tough to go about things the right way. It's a lot easier to hang your head a little bit, and feel sorry for yourself and all of those other cliches, but guys like C.J. Belanger... have led the way and served notice that we're going to wipe the slate clean and go about things the right way."
Rousey also acknowledged his freshman class, calling their perspective "fresh" and appreciating their excitement, saying "they get exited about a lot of things, sometimes over excited."
"It's been a fun mix for us and I really feel good about the way we're going about things."
Rousey went on to note the marked improvement among his returners as well as the overall talent level of his freshman class relative to others he's seen.
When given an opportunity to point towards a few individuals, Rousey quipped that with the kind of schedules teams are facing this season "you may need one and a half starting nines." Even so, Rousey mentioned Belanger, along with Richard Cates and Jowen-James Murray-Thornton, each of whom is expected to start in the field. Jimmy Jolicoeur and Phil Hann were pitchers that Rousey mentioned as players who are raising the bar, and each is expected to be in the starting rotation for the opening weekend.
Together with fellow returners John Parham and Billy Swanson, the freshman class will see plenty of action and will make the Matadors one of the youngest teams out there in 2008. It's a similar story on the mound, where returners Eric Billings, Mark Haderlein, P.J. Rousey, Billy Ott, Davin Tate, and Edwin Quirarte team with six freshmen to round out the pitching corps.
The press conference finished as Rousey rounded out his thoughts on the team and schedule, with nothing left to say, Rousey ended his time behind the podium neatly:
"...and that's the Matadors in 2008."

Teaching Excellence Workshop:
Social Presence in the Online Course
Beverly Baliko, Assistant Professor, College of Nursing
Vera Polyakova-Norwood, Director of Online Learning, College of Nursing
February 22, 2011
Why do some students and instructors enjoy online courses and feel connected to each other while others struggle to make sense of them? Research suggests that our satisfaction with online teaching and learning depends upon our "social presence," i.e. a degree to which we can project our personalities and be perceived as real people in digital environments. But how important is it in the learning process and does it affect student academic performance? This presentation will examine the role of social presence in promoting class participation, collaborative learning, academic achievement, and satisfaction with learning. Presenters will share social presence strategies from graduate and undergraduate online courses and share data from midterm and end-of-course learning effectiveness surveys. The session will conclude with suggestions for increasing student and instructor social presence in online courses with small and large enrollments.

A controversy has erupted over Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda administering the oath of office to new members of State Information Commission and the Commissioners of Right to Service Commission barely an hour after the new Governor took charge, with the Opposition terming the move as "unconstitutional".
However, Chief Secretary S C Choudhary maintained that there was no illegality in making the appointments and in administering the oath to them.
Even as BJP nominee Kaptan Singh Solanki took oath as new Governor of Haryana on Sunday, the Chief Minister went ahead and administered the oath of office to two as Commissioners of the SIC and three others as the Right to Service Commission.
In the past, the Information Commissioners were administered the oath by the Governor.
Opposition parties including INLD and BJP attacked the Hooda government for showing "haste" in making the appointments and pointed out that even Haryana's Secretary, Administrative Reforms, Pradeep Kasni, has red-flagged the appointments on the grounds that rules had allegedly not been followed.
"The Hooda government, which has been going out of its way to re-employ its favourites, showed tremendous haste on Sunday. The Chief Minister invited to his home those who had to take oath and administered the oath on a holiday. He did not even wait for the new Governor's nod," BJP's legislature party leader and Ambala MLA, Anil Vij charged."Moreover, a state's own officer had red-flagged the appointments. Therefore, this action of the government is illegal and unconstitutional," he charged.
Main opposition INLD, too, slammed the government over making the appointments. "We are meeting the new Governor and will apprise him that the Congress government, whose term is nearing its end, is in a tearing hurry to appoint its favourites at key constitutional posts by not following laid down rules thus violating constitutional and democratic norms," INLD's state unit chief, Ashok Arora said.
He said the "haste" in making the appointments to these statutory posts was evident from the fact that the proposal for making the appointments was sent to the then Governor, Jagannath Pahadia, on July 23 seeking an authorisation from him so that the Chief Minister could administer the oath to the new members.
The names of the new appointees were cleared by Pahadia on July 25, on the last day of his tenure. The two members of SIC who were administered oath by Hooda include Shiv Raman Gaur, a retired IAS officer of Haryana cadre, who has been re-employed by the state
government as Adviser (Health) and Rekha Rani, a government school teacher and wife of Hooda's political adviser Prof Virender Singh.
Those who have been administered Oath of Commissioners of Right to Service Commission, Haryana, include Sarban Singh, Dr Amar Singh and Sunil Katyal. Dr Amar Singh, who was …continued »

A full, detailed review with over 100 photos including the illustrated manual of this new nitro 50 from China!
Over the last decade, the manufacturing might of China has significantly influenced the Western hobby industry. For the R/C helicopter enthusiast this has meant a boon of affordable models, equipment and parts readily available whenever the want arises. While many of the pioneering R/C model helicopter companies have disappeared, new companies have been popping up and offering a myriad of exciting products.
Hiflier-Tech Company, LTD of the Chengdu economic and technology district in China is new to the R/C helicopter scene, but have developed a new 50-size nitro model that offers unique features with a high performance flight envelope. The model flies under the name of Aeolus 50 3D. Aeolus is the Latin spelling for Aiolos who was the god of the winds in ancient Greek mythology. Aiolos translates to fast shifting and sparkling. We'll see how this model holds up to its namesake!
At the onset, this model shares many component similarities with that of the Align Corporation's Trex 600 Nitro model. Despite the similarities, there are significant positive differences. The single-axle CCPM input control system is one of the most effective designs at minimizing control interaction and reducing wear and tear on the servos. Many high-end models like the Hirobo Eagle3 series and Kyosho Caliber 90 implement this proven control system.
The engine mount is a practical, modular design and makes for speedy installation and service. With a pop of the throttle linkage, fuel feed line and fourteen screws the engine and clutch assembly separate from the airframe. There is no need to remove any base plate (it doesn't exist on this model) or the landing gear. I'm of the opinion that anything designed to make working on a model easier and less time consuming without compromising performance or strength is of high value.
The first thing I do when I receive a new model is to open the box and inspect how the contents are packed. The model packaging is quite compact. However, I was a bit dismayed to find that the edges of the fiberglass canopy had cracked in two spots. This was likely a result of the mass of parts nestled inside the cabin shifting in transit. The fiberglass canopy is the most delicate part of the model and needs better insulation from potential damage. To prevent further cracking and lifting of the paint I wicked in some thin CA glue.
I found each parts bag labeled with corresponding letters and numbers for each step in the manual. You will have to provide your own 600mm main rotor blades; however, AHF does include one set of stiff plastic 92mm tail blades. Several parts come pre-assembled from the factory, but I will be checking them for properly assembly and the inclusion of thread lock and glue where applicable. Aside from the canopy, the remainder of the model's parts showed no other signs of damage.
Aeolus 50 3D GF Specs & Features
LENGTH: 1335mm
HEIGHT: 408mm
MAIN ROTOR DIAMETER:1348mm
TAIL ROTOR DIAMETER:263mm
Graphite fiber frames & tail fins
Plastic rotor head, metal yoke
Belt driven tail
The Build and Tips
For Step A-1 I disassembled the clutch assembly and found no thread lock had been used on any of the metal threaded components. I confirmed that the factory greased the bearings. I cleaned all of the metal with Simple Green, applied medium strength thread lock and reassembled the components. I decided to install the included governor magnet in the clutch bell. I thought I would drill a small hole into the magnet recess in the clutch bell to relieve any air bubbles that might occur after gluing the magnet in place. During the process, I discovered that the material was paper-thin and it easily tore open. To remedy this I flattened the torn aluminum back into place. Then I removed the M2 button head screws from the clutch bearing block (this keeps the magnet from attracting itself out of the clutch bell recess while you're waiting for the epoxy to dry), smeared in some 24-hour JB Weld epoxy and then carefully pressed in the clean magnet. I let this set overnight to cure.
For Step A-2 I found no thread lock on the M3x11.6mm x 2 specialty screws. There was some excess plastic flashing on the inside hole of the elevator control arm recess. This wasn't anything crucial, but just indication of the lower quality plastic molding process.
In Step A-3 I verified the main shaft bearings were greased and cleaned residual oil from the inside of the plastic bearing blocks.
For Step A-4 I made sure to clean all of the machining oil off the hardware with Simple Green. I installed the four fan screws dry and checked the balance. The fan required several ¼" divots to bring it into balance. I made sure to apply some medium strength thread lock to the four fan screws and a light coat of tri-flow oil to the brass collet before installing the assembly on the crank. I used the engine's prop nut and applied medium strength thread lock to the crank threads to ensure it stays tight.
I verified that the link balls had been glued in by the factory for the assemblies in Steps A-5 and A-6. I did have to clean the button screws and apply thread lock.
In Step B, I found the supplied clunk tubing to be very thin. This thin tubing is prone to folding over on itself creating a kink. This could lead to engine leaning or cut out in flight. I always replace this line with thicker fuel tubing. I obtained a suitable length of tubing for the clunk from the other fuel line supplied in the kit. While the stock brass clunk will work fine, I installed an OMI fuel magnet for peace of mind. Make sure to lube the tank grommet with after run oil or something similar and carefully install it with the fuel nipple into the tank. I worked the inside lip of the grommet into the tank with a wide screwdriver blade being careful not to cut the rubber.
After completing the fuel tank assembly I pressure tested it in a bowl of water. It tested out good with no visible air leaks.
For Step C-7 carefully tighten the M3 button screws for the metal clutch-bearing block so as not to crack the frame nearest to the main gear opening. This was the first screw that I tightened in the frame and just my luck, I went just a smidge too far and the frame cracked. I quickly wicked in some thin CA to the crack and shored up the screw.
In Step D-8, I used thick CA to secure the plastic caps to the skid pipes. I ran the M3 set screws into the landing skids before installing the skid pipes, then backed them out and cleaned out the plastic flash protruding into the hole. This allows the skid pipes to easily slide into the skid struts. I set the pipes into the struts leaving 24mm of pipe sticking out from the rear edge of the rear strut. I then tightened the setscrews slowly until I felt and could hear them touch the pipe, and then just lightly snugged them down.
In Step E, I discovered that the outer race for all of the thrust bearings had been etched with the word "OUT". This insures that you install them properly. I verified the inside diameter of the races and the "OUT' was marked on the appropriately sized races.
For Step E-2 I made sure to tighten the M2 socket screw into the t-type arm.
I noticed Bando of Japan makes the belt. These belts have a very high power transmission efficiency and have a long service lift when properly cared for. The belt is a 592XL and is the same belt used by several other model helicopters.
In Step E-12, I took my time carefully tightening the frame screws. All of the frame screws with the exception of the clutch bearing block screw into plastic hex nuts. If you screw these down too tightly they can strip. I used a Metabo PowerMaxx hand drill with MIP Thorpe hex bits with the clutch set on 1.5 to install all the screws.
In Step F, The flybar measures 440mm long x 3mm diameter. When I assembled the flybar cage I found one of the flybar control rods was slightly longer than the other. While this didn't cause any binding, it did slightly warp the control arms when fully tightened down. One rod was 74mm and the other was 74.33mm.
For Step 14 make sure to remove and clean all of the M3 button screws. I also had to tighten down the M3x12 cap head screws. In Step F-4 I noted that the swash balls had thread lock applied by the factory. The swash weighed in at 66.6 grams.
In Step 15, I found that the radius arm ball socket a little tight requiring some slight reaming to get a smooth, bind-free fit.
In Step 16, I noted that the feathering shaft has an outside diameter of 8mm, then it drops down to 5mm with an overall length of 93.18mm. I also checked the stock paddle weights with the 1.5mm setscrew installed and clear acetate stickers applied, 21.4 grams and 21.6 grams.
For Step G I notched the webbing between the servo screw bosses to allow clearance for the servo wires' strain relief. I also found no information for the spacing of the servo link balls on the servo arms. I determined that the swash servos should have each ball set out 15mm from center.
After I installed a Curtis Youngblood MP5 muffler onto the OS 50-Hyper engine I noticed that the fuel tank had enough movement in the frames to allow regular contact with the expanded portion of the muffler. Obviously, this would be a major issue in flight, so the only option is to use a slimmer pipe. I selected a Hatori Bobby Watts fixed header pipe to clear the tank and provide excellent performance.
To mount a governor sensor in the suggested location you'll need to use a Futaba GV-1 sensor or purchase the GV-1 sensor case and mount your own sensor inside (HSP51245 1M2J02601 Upper Case GV-1 sen, HSP51250 1m12502701 Bottom Case GV-1 se).
Upon installing the canopy to the frame, I noticed the forward mounted cyclic servo wheel on the muffler side of the frames interfered with the inside of the canopy. This servo wheel is a stock Hitec item, but I ground down the outside circumference too properly clear the canopy. However, despite doing this the canopy still exhibits a fitment problem on the right rear side. The fiberglass bows inward towards the grommet. It appears that the canopy is malformed since, aside from the front rubber supports, there are no other obstructions protruding from the airframe. I tried removing the rubber supports, but didn't notice any improvement.
Through the process of checking the balance of the tail rotor assembly, I found that the stock plastic tail blades have a slight spanwise imbalance. I corrected this by adding a small piece of 3M Super 88 electrical tape to the leading edge of the lighter blade.
The main rotor head balanced perfectly on my Du-Bro Tru-Spin balancer without having to add any weight.
The manual isn't very clear about the tail setup. Most other manuals detail the direction the tail pitch slider will move if you give a specific tail input. This helps you get the tail servo operating in the correct direction. The manual does indicate that you should set the tail pitch slider in the center of its travel. There was no indication of a suggested length for how far out on the tail servo arm you should place the ball. I found that the ball placed out 15mm provides a 90° angle between the pushrod and the servo arm with the rudder stick centered. I also found that the link ball on the tail pitch arm is not located on the boom centerline. Despite fiddling with the boom's pushrod guides' alignment, there is still a bit of binding when the tail pushrod moves to its limits.
The manual doesn't provide any baseline radio settings. Unless you have experience setting up a model from scratch, you'll need some assistance in doing so.
Current dry weight of the model is 3414g / 7.526 lbs. Loaded with a full tank of fuel the weight is 3750g / 8.268 lbs.
I'm using the following components:
• Futaba FASST R608FS receiver
• Emoctec DPSI Micro MPS RV regulator/switch set to 5.9vdc (Desert Aircraft)
• Fromeco Relion 2s2600 Li-Ion RX pack
• (3) Hitec HS-7975HB servos on cyclic
• Hitec HS-81 on throttle with a Custom Heli Products adapter plate
• Futaba BLS-251 tail servo
• Curtis Youngblood Mini-G gyro (ronlund.com)
• Switchglow
• OS 50SX-Hyper
• Hatori Bobby Watts fixed header 50 muffler
• Mavrikk G5 Pro Wide Cord 600mm carbon fiber main rotor blades (heliproz.com)
I've managed to get +/- 12° collective pitch with a Swash Pitch AFR of +40%. My Aileron/Elevator AFRs are at -50% that yields about 6.5° of cyclic throw. Unfortunately, the bottom ring of the swash plate touches the top of the frame at low stick and full back elevator/aileron. This prevents increasing the amount of cyclic throw. A trimmer swash plate, similar to the QuickUK version for the Align Trex 600 may allow for an additional 1°-3° of cyclic throw. I also noticed that the swash plate's inner and outer link balls are not on the same vertical plane. It appears identical to the Align Trex 600 stock swashplate's geometry problem. This is known to cause unwanted interactions in the head.
Current Radio Settings (Futaba T10CHP):
Swash AFR: Aileron & Elevator: -50%, Pitch: +40%
Sub-trim: all channels: 0
Endpoints/ATV: Rudder & Gyro: 140/140 (will vary depending on gyro used), all other channels: 100/100
Reverse: Elevator, Rudder, Pitch, all other channels Normal
Flight Testing
On the first test flight the tracking was spot on and the model showed no major vibrations. I was only able to get one tank through before running out of time. I checked over the machine and everything was still in good shape.
I'll be reporting on how this model performs in a future article. However, local young phenom pilot Justin Chi has reported that this model has a bit more pop and roll rate then the Align Trex 600. See him put it through its paces in the video below!

Be the change you want to see in the world.
Vlaďka Michálková (@vladkaslniecko) and Chuck Sandy (@chucksandy) (both at iTDi–International Teacher Development Institute) did just that and organised an unforgettable event in Košice.
Vlaďka and Chuck's passion and willingness to make a difference created enough gravitational pull to allow magic to happen – the magic of planting seeds in unexpected, surprising places, allowing motivated teachers to motivate teachers to motivate other teachers… and so on, ad infinitum, so that teachers could make a difference themselves, too.
Yes, far too many teachers consider themselves as far too ordinary to be able to make a difference.
What Vlaďka and Chuck showed is that making a difference is in everyone's capacity. They planted a seed – almost at the borderline of interest of the mainstream ELT world, by inviting teachers in and by letting their inspiring energy do its magic.
For a day, Štátna jazyková škola in Košice turned into a beautiful garden where professional development by teachers and for teachers happened in a way that was previously unavailable, even unheard of, for most teachers in the region. It would have remained unavailable, had it not been for the willingness to plant seeds of inspiration by a couple of teachers who decided to change things for the better.
From the eloquent, enthralling and intimate opening by Luke Meddings (@LukeMeddings) on the power of visual arts in the classroom, right down to the moving, mesmerizing closing talk by Chuck on the power of planting seeds of motivation, the day was an incredible experience that still feels almost unreal.
With contributions from Lenka (@LenkaPelikan, Czech Republic), Barbara (Hungary), Alexandra (Russia), Terry (UK), Katerina (SK) and, of course, Vlaďka and Chuck, a couple of weeks ago, it would have all seemed like wishful thinking.
I wouldn't have imagined meeting these wonderful people in person, in Košice, let alone dream of sharing a spot in the same programme with them.
My poor phone camera does little justice to the reality of this weekend, but I don't suppose any camera would capture its beauty anyway.
Some things will stay in my mind for a very long time: the intimate and warm atmosphere and the magic of our "non-stop Pension" accommodation, hidden away in a quiet street in the heart of Košice. Meeting Chuck at the Košice bus station and sharing a pre-event evening walk and dinner with Vlaďka, Lenka, Barbara, waiting for Luke and Alexandra to arrive.
The fact that Alexandra made it to Košice all the way from Moscow, despite all the impossible administrative obstacles getting visa to Slovakia and that we could all sing her a happy birthday, sharing a meal after the event in a homely little restaurant with traditional Slovak cuisine.
Above all, the conversations. The feeling of a connection, of meeting with people for the first time and yet, feeling like meeting good friends and doing meaningful, or silly things. Seeing how we all prepared our items in the programme alone, and yet, feeling they were all connected with a common thread that bound them together.
There will be more photos from other sources, soon, I'm sure, but I'd like to share these three. I took all of them at night, with my poor old phone camera. Their grungy, underground feel is telling and it creates a wonderful contrast to the glorious, sunny Saturday when the Surpr@ise Day took place.
This was guerrilla teacher development.
The seeds have been planted, with infinite possibilities.
Many thanks Vlaďka and Chuck for making it happen and many thanks Luke, Lenka, Barbora, Alexandra, Terry, Katerina and everyone at Štátna jazyková škola in Košice for an incredible day of Surpr@ising in Košice.
Hope to hook up again soon;)

Important victory for affirmative action
Michigan universities will be able to consider race and gender, along with numerous other factors, in the admission process, following a ruling last week from the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The federal appeals court on Friday struck down Proposal 2, which prohibited the state's public universities from giving "preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin." The court said the ban burdens minorities and violates the U.S. Constitution.
The 2-1 decision overturns a sweeping law known as the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative that forced the University of Michigan and other public schools to change admission policies. The court said the law, approved by voters in 2006, violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
MEA supported the constitutional challenge and filed friend of the court briefs in the federal district and appellate courts.
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said the state would appeal the decision.
"(The Michigan Civil Rights Initiative) embodies the fundamental premise of what America is all about: equal opportunity under the law, Schuette said in a statement. "Entrance to our great universities must be based upon merit, and I will continue the fight for equality, fairness and rule of law."

Gear Review
Hunted down this boot!
I saw this boot in Lucky Magazine and had to have it. This was the best place with the most inventory for me. I got the green ones but now thinking I want the other color too. This is an amazing boot and I can't wait to rock them all year long! Oh ya... the fit is spot on

I was a stranger to their land, but wanted to blend in. I wore the hijab, long pants and matching long sleeves. I had the tawny complexion and exotic features, but no matter how hard I tried, there was no way to fade into this crowd: throngs of Egyptians walking the streets of Cairo.
Was it my mannerisms that gave me away?
Or did I wear my excitement and awe of exploring this new culture on my long, linen sleeves?
Perhaps, it was how I spoke Arabic (just a beginner) or the fact that I was always lost (most definitely!)?
Either way, my month long stay in Egypt was life-defining, enriching and one that I'll never forget. From exploring the Giza pyramids on horseback, to living like a Bedouin nomad in the White Desert, Egypt always provided me with new and perspective-changing experiences!
So when I had the opportunity to visit Little Egypt in Astoria, Queens, my heart raced with excitement! I looked forward to comparing and contrasting (blame the researcher in me- I'm hard wired for this kind of thinking) the Egypt I visited over a decade ago with several blocks along Steinway Street (between 28th Avenue and Astoria Blvd) in Astoria referred to as Little Egypt.
So what did my research uncover?
Right off the bat, I noticed an overarching theme in Little Egypt that I don't remember dominating Cario, Egypt: hookah, hookah and more hookah!
Hookah is an instrument used throughout the Middle East to smoke vaporized, flavored tobacco. In Little Egypt, almost every storefront had hookahs advertised for sale and almost every restaurant featured a hookah bar. So if you're fuming over the smoking ban in NYC restaurants, then you'll likely find your fix at any of Little Egypt's dozen or so hookah bars. But you'll want to visit soon as a ban on hookah is being discussed.
After previewing the area that thousands of Egyptians call home in NYC, I headed to Sabry's Seafood Restaurant for a lunch date. When you think of Egyptian food, what comes to mind? Pita, gyros and kebabs…well what about seafood? Sabry's Seafood restaurant turns any Egyptian food lover's perspective on its head by featuring southern Egyptian specialities in the form of grilled seafood dishes, barbecued fish entrees and seafood taojine.
I had the Grilled Bronzeiny with a side salad, and my friend, a deletable seafood soup. The food tasted great and the service was good also (restaurant owner helped identify a parking spot for my friend ). The only downer? The bill (I know a big issue, can't downplay money). We noticed discrepancies on our bill and after some back and forth, Sabry's made things right, so I'll give them credit for that. Interestingly, during my research of the area restaurants, I came across this article by WookieHut Neighborhood Reviews which mentions having similar pricing issues.
Next stop on our Tour of Little Egypt, Laziza of New York's Pastry Shop. This iconic pastry shop definitely earns it's title. The pastries are amazing, reasonably priced and customer service is fantastic! My favorite dessert: cheese kanefah. Don't let the orange candied Wheetabix sprinkled atop cheese scare you off like it almost did to me! This dessert is delicious and properly teeters between sweet and savory.
One of our last stops was to America's first hookah lounge: the Egyptian Coffee House and Hookah Bar. We needed to recharge after our Little Eygpt marathon and settled in for a cup of Turkish coffee. Now, to experience this place as an all female duo requires some guts. When my friend and I first walked into the shop, we were greeted to a dark (literally) hole in the wall packed with an all male band of hookah smokers watching Arabic television…talk about intimidating! But, nevertheless, we pressed on to the outdoor back room visible from the entryway as there was more light in this area.
Walking into a dark hookah bar full of men as two lone women? Risky.
Having Turkish coffee at The Egyptian Coffee House in Astoria? Priceless.
Despite the scene, I never felt threatened or significantly uncomfortable. My friend and I were treated respectfully and politely. I felt at home at this place and actually, the decor in the back (or lack there of) kind of reminded me of some of the great hole in the wall establishments I frequented while in Egypt.
Before leaving, what at this point felt like my community after being there for 5 hours, we checked out a few Middle Eastern grocery stores and then departed ways. During my train ride home, I was able to reflect on my "staycation" to Little Egypt and cracked a smile. Where else can you be transported half way across the globe locally?
New York is such an incredible place!
Egypt at home
My Egypt at home experience was great; no complaints here. I enjoyed eating the koshari, though making it was a different experience (4 different pots/pans!??). At first glance, I wasn't excited to eat koshari because of it's bland colors. Think beige on beige on brown, but after first bite, I was hooked again and reminded of why this dish was my favorite in Egypt!
And for the movie suggestion: Scheherazade Tell Me a Story ? A must see if you have any interest in exploring feminism in Egypt. The movie is engaging while entertaining; not an easy feat. Scheheazade is an Egyptian talk show host who, in an effort to bolster her husband's highly politicized career, redirects the focus of her show to something more apolitical. She finds herself interviewing women, long disgraced and ostracized in their communities, as the show's feature. Before long, addressing the feminist viewpoint in Egypt touches a nerve in the political arena that Scheherazade sought to avoid and further complicates her relations with her spouse and some viewers. I like this movie as it lifts the veil, so to speak, on issues facing Egyptian and Muslim women.

Symptoms of Chronic Kidney Disease
The symptoms of kidney disease tend to appear slowly over a long period of time, so they are easily overlooked or thought to be normal responses to stress. In addition to the symptoms below you may find that you have high blood pressure.High blood pressure occurs when your blood contains more water and salt than normal, this increases the pressure in your blood vessels. You may not know you have high blood pressure but keeping your blood pressure under control is an important part of staying healthy with kidney disease.
Knowing the symptoms of kidney disease can help you recognize the problems and get proper treatment. Keep in mind that the symptoms can be signs of problems other than kidney disease, so if you experience any of the symptoms, be sure to discuss them with your doctor.
Symptom: Swelling
When kidneys are failing, excess fluid builds up in the body and can lead to a condition known as edema, which is swelling in the hands, ankles, feet, or face (especially around the eyes, when you just wake up). Fluid can also collect in the lungs, which may cause shortness of breath.
Symptoms: Weakness, fatigue, feeling cold, shortness of breath
Kidney damage can slow down production of a hormone called erythropoeitin, which leads to a low red blood cell count. This causes anemia, a common and treatable complication of kidney disease that can make you feel tired very quickly.
Symptoms: Poor concentration and trouble sleeping
Anemia can prevent your brain from getting enough oxygen, which can lead to difficulty sleeping, difficulty concentrating, and dizziness.
Symptom: Changes in urination
Your kidneys make urine, so kidney disease can cause urine to change. Urination problems include foamy or bloody urine, more or less urine than usual, a change in how often you urinate, or pressure or difficulty urinating.
Symptoms: Rash or itchy, dry skin
Kidneys remove waste from the bloodstream, so when kidneys fail, the buildup of waste in your bloodstream can cause skin rashes or severe itching.
Symptom: Metallic taste in your mouth, loss of appetite, nausea
Buildup of waste in the blood (called uremia) can make food taste different or cause bad breath, which can lead to a loss of appetite, vomiting, nausea, and weight loss.
Symptom: Restless, cramped, or sore legs
Build up of waste products can cause nerve damage which may cause restless leg syndrome.

BUY Minnesota Orchestra Hall TICKETS NOW!
Located on the Nicollet Mall and adjacent to a beautiful public plaza, Orchestra Hall is an architectural landmark in downtown Minneapolis. Orchestra Hall, with its open glass structure and whimsical blue tubes, was designed to offer concert goers a warm, welcoming ambiance and acoustical perfection.
Orchestra Hall was constructed on the site of the former Lyceum Theater at 1111 Nicollet Mall, where the Minnesota Orchestra performed from 1905 to 1930. The Hall was designed by Cyril Harris and when it opened its doors in 1974, a new era in arts and entertainment in the Upper Midwest began.
The acoustically-acclaimed concert hall quickly became a major performance center. Orchestra Hall is particularly renowned for its acoustics with each design feature carefully planned to enhance the warmth and richness of sound in the space.
Over 100 large cubes form a "falling rock" pattern on the auditorium ceiling. These blocks provide hundreds of surfaces that deflect sound, making Orchestra Hall among the most acoustically perfect theaters in the nation. The cubes were added for sound reasons, but have visual appeal as well. The wood floor and stage allow for better sound vibration, and the angle of the balconies offers optimal reflection of sound.
The exterior of Orchestra Hall is remarkable with its large, blue ventilation ducts. Their unusual size was chosen to reduce air velocities and hence noise.
The unique building design, both inside and out, make Orchestra Hall a fun place to attend a show. The excellent acoustics will satisfy even the most finicky ear. Orchestra Hall continues to be a truly grand existence in downtown Minneapolis and a must attend for both locals and visitors alike.

The chairman of the state House's Rules and Calendar Committee has dismissed the complaint Okaloosa County Commissioner Dave Parisot filed against Rep. Matt Gaetz with House Speaker Will Weatherford.
Rep. Rob C. Schenck, chairman of the Rules and Calendar Committee, sent a letter to Parisot on Tuesday informing him that his complaint "fails to state facts supporting a finding of probable cause."
Gaetz said Wednesday he doesn't plan to give the complaint any more attention.
"I've got a bridge out in my district," he said. "I'm glad I can focus on the DOT and helping people get to work instead of responding to a frivolous complaint from Commissioner Dave Parisot."
Parisot said Wednesday he had not yet received Schenck's letter and still wanted to hear directly from Weatherford's office.
"When someone sends me a letter in the mail, I respond to them," he said.
But Weatherford typically defers all complaints regarding House members to Schenck's committee, said Ryan Duffy, a spokesman for Weathford.
"The only committee that has the authority to consider complaints is the House Rules and Calendar Committee," Duffy said.
Parisot filed the complaint March 11, alleging that Gaetz made false statements about him at a local legislative delegation meeting Jan. 30 in Niceville on the Tourist Development Council scandal.
The delegation had scheduled the meeting to discuss legislative priorities for Northwest Florida, but Gaetz changed the topic to focus solely on the state auditor general's report on the scandal.
Parisot said Gaetz told the audience he had received a comment form from Parisot indicating he wished to speak at the meeting, but that Parisot had declined to attend.
Parisot said the comment form Gaetz had at the meeting referred only to the delegation's previously scheduled meeting on the legislative priorities, not the one focusing on the TDC.
In his letter to Parisot, Schenck said the dispute "doesn't appear to be sufficient to constitute a violation under the jurisdiction of the House."

Together, As always – A brilliant collection of personal notes from second-hand books
It's funny how a few lines of handwriting cam transport you to a snowy, 1980s family christmas in Nebraska that you definitely weren't at. In this simple, very engaging project, Julianne Aguilar has collected as many second hand or discarded books as possible – each one containing the obligatory 'gift' note inside. With personal notes ranging from sophomore year-book style in-jokes to lengthier messages that make the hairs on your arms stand up, this collection is not just one more reason to keep buying people books for gifts but serves as an inspiration that a small and very charming project like this is totally doable, and closer to home than you may think.
