I2C Pull Up Resistors Needed?
The great thing about doing a real project like my satellite tracker is that it makes you learn a lot, in a whole lot of different areas. In other words, it's good exercise! And thus, it is good when you discover something doesn't quite work right: you have another opportunity to learn.
Well, today, something wasn't working right.
Every three minutes, the "active satellite" dot would pass one of the balls on the track. The "track dot" would then get recalculated to the time 2 hours in the future. But I noticed that occasionally, that dot would appear somewhere wrong: a point clearly off the track. It's of course possible that I had a bug. But I also remembered that this didn't happen before I placed an LED on the square wave output of the DS1307 real time clock chip I have wired in.
That got me thinking: could some kind of power glitch be occurring that's causing an error when the program reads the time from the I2C bus? So, I pulled the LED out, and left it running. It's an hour and a half later, and the glitch has not reoccurred. Interesting.
So, I got to thinking. I didn't bother putting in any pull up resistors on the I2C bus (laziness, and lack of understanding about how important they are). I realize that the I2C bus is open drain: either the master or the slaves can pull the line down, but perhaps the LED adds enough capacitance to keep the signals from returning to high quickly, which causes a communication error? I suspect it might be informative to check out the signals on my oscilloscope. Stay tuned, but any gurus can go ahead and tell me what's going on in greater detail, or pointing me to materials that will spoon feed me the necessary knowledge.
Addendum: Stuck in a pair of 10K pullups, my glitch did not reoccur. I should hook it up to a scope and see the difference it makes, but for now, I'll just consider the problem fixed.

Henry David Thoreau :
Society is commonly too cheap. We meet at very short intervals, not having had time to acquire any new value for each other. We meet at meals three times a day, and give each other a new taste of that old musty cheese that we are. We have had to agree on a certain set of rules, called etiquette and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable and that we need not come to open war. We meet at the post-office, and at the sociable, and about the fireside every night; we live thick and are in each other's way, and stumble over one another, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another. Certainly less frequency would suffice for all important and hearty communications. Consider the girls in a factory,never alone, hardly in their dreams. It would be better if there were but one inhabitant to a square mile, as where I live. The value of a man is not in his skin, that we should touch him.[Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), U.S. philosopher, author, naturalist.

"Beauty," The Conduct of Life (1860).]
Dorothy Parker :
And there was that wholesale libel on a Yale prom. If all the girls attending it were laid end to end, Mrs. Parker said, she wouldn't be at all surprised.[Dorothy Parker (1893-1967), U.S. humorous writer. Quoted in While Rome Burns, "Our Mrs. Parker," Alexander Woollcott (1934).]
Robert Louis Stevenson :
Man is a creature who lives not upon bread alone, but principally by catchwords; and the little rift between the sexes is astonishingly widened by simply teaching one set of catchwords to the girls and another to the boys.[Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894), Scottish novelist, essayist, poet.

Don't miss this upcoming event. This is your opportunity to meet with district legislators and describe a day in the life of a nursing professional, the challenges and highlights. Send a clear message that nurses are passionate about quality care and patient safety and are speaking up.
It has come to the attention of your WSNA leaders at Skagit Regional Health that Skagit Management proposed changes in the oncology clinic that may have resulted in the Reduction of FTEs and the Elimination of at least one position.
Members informed us that management requested that these clinic RNs agree to a voluntary restructure of their FTEs and hours. Some of the Nurses were NOT in agreement – and knew to notify WSNA before agreeing to any changes.
Reducing Hours - Layoffs
Eliminating Positions = Layoffs
Your Collective Bargaining Agreement [contract] protects you in layoffs. It has a clearly defined process in place agreed on by Skagit RNs and Management.

I have also heard it phrased "If you cannot explain it to your grandmother, you do not truly understand it."
I remember this from as far back as I can remember, but never knew where it came from.

Ver Very True ! You make it complicated so that others do not understand! You can remain on past glory, assumed glory ,reflected glory in the minds of others. But situation is changing; there are millions who know your theory unlike only Eddington preened to have!

"I'm as dope as two rappers you better be scared cause that means Albert E = MC squared" -Albert Einstein
He's back from the dead?? And posting on google+? They finally figured out a way to hook his brain in the jar up to the internet I guess.
Ricky Riccardo
Albert Einstein has some really good quotes. Though my favorite I have on a T-Shirt: "Genius by birth, slacker by choice."
He means that if you can't boil it down to what it essentially is and have to keep grasping for different bits you know about something to describe it to someone, you don't know enough about it.
Hey Steinster,,, One thing I've learn from you'er post here is if I wanted to understand +Albert Einstein ain't the place to look
+Clancy Adams True, but you can start with the Minute Physics video which does a decent job of it: Einstein's Proof of E=mc²
God letter leaves us in no doubt as to the opinion of one of the greatest minds in history on religion. Childrens make believe, when will people listen to our greatest minds instead of ignorant imans and preachers. Nuff said
This depends upon who you're explaining it to, cuz sometimes (specially at work) it's so simple that some folks just don't understand. Another mystery for science to unravel? When this happens just remember the word "K.I.S.S." & no it's not my a$$. It means: Keep It Simple Stupid!
hahahahahahaaaaa ,it's true..
manoj patil
the only person I've ever heard explain quantum physics in a way most people can understand is Nassim Haramein
Som jeg skulle sagt det selv :-)
Only teachers are capable .....they explain soooooooo much making kids boored.......lol...
I'm surely going to print this for my college instructor. So he can freaking teach better. (Thank you sir Einstein)
"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new." Albert E-I have nothing but respect for that genius. I would do anything to have a 1 minute conversation with him. in regards to the above, I concur
Don Harris
Be patient, one day you may well have the chance to speak with him. Enjoy life make the most of now.
True, Thats no lie, it never told no lie, Know it well enough to stop messing up your Reputation.
сморили сте више...
So everyone trying to understand some others actions? Ok if its happen there is no partiality in the world.
I see your Einstein and I raise you a Feynman: "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics."
Hello, Makes me remember some of the grades in High School that were tough for me cause I didn't understand it enough? Triumph=10% 90%umph!
Wow he saw it coming. Got to be talking about the new building and new system at work. #nobodyunderstands that
Quit raging! Albert Einstein is an astonishing historical figure! Don't spit on his name!
Albert Albert Albert you can make yourself seem more important or smarter by overcomplicating that which is inherently simple
iam aware i have a good memory infact im like a camera and i store it so i have explained and i know the game your playing proffesor GUN or dr KENNDY dr MURPHY IM PLAYING THE GAME AS WELL L O L HA HA HA LOL I AM A PROFFESSOR OF ALL PROFFESSORS PROF PLUM IM BACK TO THE FUTURE OR AM I ???????????????
Irina Teleoaca
Nothing is simple with Einstein. Not even his life was... . Who can simple, normal people ever understand how a genius's mind works?
I f y o u c a n.t e x p l a i n y o u r t h o u g h t.s s i m p l y. H e.s r i g h t y o u d o n.t k n o w t h e m w e l l
Or you could have thought that you understood it well but oversimplified, providing the wrong impression.
Yeah, the other way this is expressed is if you can't draw it on paper then you don't understand it.
Einstein is truly one of the greatest humans to ever walk the earth and I hate to hate on him but If the quote above is an explanation to whether or not someone has an understanding to a topic or a subject than I'd say this quote is loaded with Irony and or genius humor.
peter, you are a true man of thinking, of course this quote just starts going in circles if you think about.
clue- it is explaining how things are explained
clue- it is explaining how things are explained
Do you know what something you can feel it, understand it very well but you can't explain because of their foolish. Now what you do?
Mohammad, there is no one we can categorize as foolish. It's all about the interest to understand things. There are people who look interested and people who don't. It's all about generating interest and that's why the easiest way to make these two categories in lined is to explain it "simply".
Generally true, but on the flip side are the ostensibly "simple" explanations that are meant to confound a complex issue, such as the sound bite or bumper sticker abstractions that politicians or zealots of all ilks use. Just sayin'...
cecilia sman
True. As journalist/writers only when we understand it well only then can we write to convey the message to the masses. Thanks Einstein
stimmt zutrefflich
Absolotly right .. because if u understad it u can explain it in many different ways .. :-)
It's 100% true therefore one needs to clearly understand something so as to be able to explain it clearly!
What was your best theory ever presented. And has it affected the live of the living.

Collision Broadening of Rotational Spectrum57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678572View Description Hide Description
The problem studied is the rotational absorptionspectrum of linear molecules of moment inertia I in a simple nonpolar buffer gas. The focus is on the behavior of the spectrum as the buffer gas pressure and the associated collision frequency ν is increased. Four regions are distinguished. (1) , there are sharp lines with a van Vleck‐Weisskopf line shape; (2) , the contributions from overlapping lines are summed analytically. The ratio of minimum to maximum absorption in the weakly oscillatory spectrum is computed. (3) , This is the classical inertial region where there is a single maximum in the absorption per cycle. We compute its position as it moves from an angular frequency (2kT/I)1/2 to lower frequencies with increasing collision frequency. (4) , this is the region where the Debye frequency profile is valid, with the peak of absorption at an angular frequency (1/ν) (2kT/I). The calculations are based on a kinetic equation for the density matrix with a single relaxation time, no position change, collision model. We also compute the time dependent correlation functions needed in the theory of the rotational Raman effect of linear molecules.
Photoequilibrium and the Decay Mechanism in Dinitrobenzyl Pyridine Photochromism57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678573View Description Hide Description
The maximum intensity of photochromic color change in 2‐ and 4‐(2′, 4′‐dinitrobenzyl) pyridine solutions is controlled by a photon equilibrium. The equilibrium has been approached from both sides by means of irradiation. Solutions of the compound almost entirely in the form of its colored modification have been prepared. In the absence of photon activated decay, which is controlling in experiments where the preparation is made photolytically, these solutions decay thermally to the ordinary form by two mechanisms, the relative importance of which depends on temperature and pH.
Hydride Ion Transfer and Isotope Effects in CD4‐Silane Ion Molecule Reactions57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678574View Description Hide Description
Hydride ion transfer is identified as an important mechanism in the reactions of methane and deuterated methane primary ions with silane. The pathway for these reactions is shown not to involve the production of a long lived intermediate. However, it is shown that addition reactions proceeding through a long lived intermediate show relatively little isotopic scrambling. Furthermore, it appears that the probability of losing a H atom is very much higher than that for losing a D atom from such an intermediate.
Torsion‐Vibration‐Rotation Interactions in Methanol. IV. Microwave Spectrum of CH3OH in the Excited CO Stretching State57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678575View Description Hide Description
The branch and the doublet have been observed for the first excited CO stretching mode in the microwave spectrum of normal methanol. A value for the excited state barrier to internal rotation of is required to reproduce the Q‐branch origin frequency of 47 929.9 MHz, with reasonable limits on geometry changes assumed. This value is consistent with previous infrared results.
Another Hard‐Sphere Equation of State57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678576View Description Hide Description
A basic form for a Pade approximant of the hard‐sphere equation of state is proposed. This form incorporates both high and low density limiting behavior and can easily be extended to include any further virial coefficients as they are calculated. Furthermore, addition of a simple term converts the approximant into an accurate equation for hard‐sphere fluids. Hard‐sphere solid behavior can also be estimated using a modification of the approximant, although the results are not as satisfactory as those of the high density hard‐sphere equation of state.
Dielectric Constant and Molar Polarizability of Compressed Gaseous and Liquid Fluorine57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678577View Description Hide Description
In this paper we present accurate wide‐range measurements of the dielectric constant of saturated liquid fluorine from 70 to 140°K and of compressed fluid fluorine at temperatures between 100 and 300°K at pressures to . The data are combined with previously measured densities to determine the molar polarizability and its dependence on density and temperature. The density range examined extends to nearly 3 times the critical density. The molar polarizability is found to increase initially with density and then decrease. Current theories of the dielectric constant are found to give satisfactory qualitative interpretation of the density dependence of the molar polarizability but do not give satisfactory quantitative predictions.
EPR Study of Diphenylnitroxide in Benzophenone57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678578View Description Hide Description
A complete anisotropicEPR study of diphenylnitroxide imbedded in a benzophenone single crystal is presented. The 14N hyperfine tensors are . The gtensors are , where x, y, and z lie along the N–O axis, the line drawn between the centers of phenyl rings, and a direction perpendicular to the x and y axes, respectively. The isotropic values obtained from the molten mixed crystal, a supercooled liquid, are . The study implies that the unpaired π* electron is delocalized into the phenyl rings. The bonding character of the radical is discussed.
Polarization Dependence of Three‐Photon Phenomena for Randomly Oriented Molecules57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678579View Description Hide Description
We examine the polarization dependence of phenomena involving the interaction of three photons and a molecule, in the regime where the interaction is complete before the molecule has time to rotate. We obtain an explicit general formula for the orientation average of the observed intensity, which will be applicable to a randomly oriented sample of molecules. The results apply to simultaneous three‐photon absorption, hyper‐Raman or double quantum scattering, or other simultaneous three‐photon effects in fluids. In viscous media the results apply to sequential three‐photon absorptions or to simultaneous two‐photon absorption followed by fluorescence, and to three‐step photochemical processes in solid matrices. An experimental procedure is given for determining all the available molecular parameters of such processes. Certain simplifications of the general procedure arise in special cases. In all cases the formulas obtained are of the form , where I is the intensity of the effect, are the polarization vectors, T is the three‐photon tensor, the are a set of polarization parameters, the Qj (T) are a set of molecular parameters, and Mij is an averaging matrix. The Pi , Mij , and Qj are given explicitly for all cases considered. Thus the polarization dependence problem has been reduced to a linear algebra problem.
Doppler Broadening of Positron Annihilation Photons in Silver Halide Crystals Following High Energy Implantations of C5+, N5+, O6+, and S6+57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678580View Description Hide Description
The Doppler broadening of positron annihilation photons detected by a Ge(Li) detector was employed to probe the interactions of positrons in high purity AgCl and AgBr (95%)+AgCl sheet crystals that had been exposed to 1011‐1013 ions cm−2 of implanted12C5+, 14N5+, 16O6+, or 32S6+. The narrowing of the Doppler broadened spectrum varied with the implanted ion, the concentration of the dopant, and the composition of the halide crystals. The decrease in linewidth is attributed to the electronic environment of the defects, and an increased probability of annihilation of near‐thermal positrons with conduction electrons relative to annihilation with core electrons.
Electric Resonance Spectroscopy of Hypersonic Molecular Beams57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678581View Description Hide Description
A hypersonic nozzle beam(Mach 19) of HCN molecules was studied by electric resonance spectroscopy. Translational temperatures of 4°K and rotational temperatures of were found from a 283°K nozzle source. The monoenergetic character of the beam and the rotational cooling lead to an order of magnitude increase in signal‐to‐noise ratios. The absence of an appreciable velocity dispersion and a homogeneous radiation field allowed a critical comparison with theoretical two‐level resonance lineshapes. An SF6 diluent was used to reduce the beam velocity by one‐half and increase spectral resolution over a thermal (effusive) source. SF6 vibrational relaxation was observed. Chemically interesting species can be formed: ArXe, XeHCl, (HCl)2, (HCN) x , and (HF) x .
Photophysical Processes in Polymers. V. Triplet Depletion in Solid Vinylnaphthalene Polymers and Copolymers57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678582View Description Hide Description
The results of a study of triplet energytrapping at 77°K are presented for vinylnaphthalene polymers and copolymers with styrene and methyl methacrylate. Delayed emission spectra originating from traps both intrinsic and extrinsic to the polymer chains are identified. In the solid polymers both intramolecular and interchain triplet energy migration occur, with eventual transfer to a trap at collisional distances of about 15 Å. Extrinsic traps lead to phosphorescence and delayed fluorescence, while traps that are part of the polymer chain lead to delayed exciplex fluorescence. In the model compound 1‐ethylnaphthalene, only extrinsic trapping phenomena are observed. The influence of concentration on trapping phenomena in both polymers and the model compound is considered from the standpoint of chain or molecular aggregation.
Lattice Vibrations in Ammonium Chloride in the Low‐Temperature Ordered Phase57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678583View Description Hide Description
A rigid‐molecule model is used to analyze the lattice vibrations in ammonium chloride in the ordered phase (III). The ammonium and chlorine are treated as rigid ions with a partial charge, and short‐range forces out to the third nearest neighbor are considered. The model is shown to give a good fit of the neutrondispersion curve data on ND4Cl at 85°K. Lattice frequency spectra are computed and decomposed into components associated with chlorine vibrations and ammonium translations and librations. Comparison with a recent shell‐model calculation shows that the numerical results are quite similar. The present results are also used to discuss the lattice heat capacity, mean square displacements, and incoherent neutron scattering.
Concept of Activation Energy in Unimolecular Reactions57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678584View Description Hide Description
An exact expression is derived, valid for all pressure regions, for the activation energy of a unimolecular reaction. Because of the reaction, the distribution of reactant molecules among vibrational levels deviates from a Boltzmann distribution; this deviation is explicitly taken into account. In the high‐pressure limit, the expression reduces to a well‐known form: due originally to Tolman. In the low‐pressure limit our expression contains terms which do not appear in Tolman's formalism. These are a term EM which depends on the deviation from a Boltzmann distribution, and a term EQ which arises from the thermal average of energy‐dependent vibrational cross sections. It is shown that the low‐pressure expression for E act does indeed yield an energy fairly close to the energy at which conversion from reactant to product occurs. An approximate analytic expression for E act is obtained for the case that the cross sections for vibrational energy transfer can be approximated by a truncated harmonic oscillator model. A numerical study of the thermal decomposition of N2O, using SSH theory to evaluate collision rates, shows that both EM and EQ make important contributions to the final value of E act. It is also shown that the steady‐state approximation can lead to serious error in calculating low‐pressure rate constants and activation energies at high temperatures.
Nonlinear Coupling among Critical Fluctuations: A Possible Source of Weak Divergences at a Critical Point57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678585View Description Hide Description
It is shown that a nonlinear coupling among critical fluctuations produces weak divergences in certain thermodynamic derivatives in agreement with the scaling law predictions. Moreover, restricting our analysis to quadratic terms in the order parameter fluctuations, an explicit expression is provided for the amplitude of the singularities. Weak divergences in binary mixtures are discussed in detail, including several exceptional cases, such as critical azeotropy. No divergence is predicted in general for the heat capacity at constant volume and concentration.
Sound Propagation near a Critical Point in Multicomponent Fluid Systems57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678586View Description Hide Description
As formulated by Fixman and by Kawasaki and Tanaka, the theory for sound propagation near a consolute critical point is inconsistent with the Wheeler and Griffiths thermodynamic bounds. A modification of the original version of the theory is proposed to avoid this difficulty. Sound propagation in binary mixtures is discussed in detail including special critical points such as critical azeotropy. Formulas for sound absorption and dispersion are also given for a multicomponent system in the general case. We found that, increasing the number of components, the magnitude of critical sound absorption and dispersion should decrease.
Microwave Spectrum and Ring‐Bending Vibration of 3‐Oxetanone57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678587View Description Hide Description
The microwave rotational spectrum of 3‐oxetanone, has been observed and assigned for the ground vibrational state, the first five excited states of the ring‐bending vibrational mode, and the two carbon‐13 isotopically substituted species. The features of the microwave spectrum indicate that the molecule has a single‐minimum ring‐bending vibrational potential and consequently a planar equilibrium configuration. Approximate models for the ring‐bending vibrational mode were set up and the vibrational potential function interpreted in terms of contributions from ring‐angle deformations and torsional interactions. The 13C data were used to derive a partial substitution structure. With the carbonyl carbon being labeled Cβ, the structural parameters determined in this way were The moment equations for the hypothetically planar molecule were solved to give some indication of the remaining parameters. Stark effectmeasurements yielded the dipole moment as for the common isotopic species in the ground vibrational state.
Perturbation Calculation of the Nuclear Spin‐Spin Coupling Constant in HD based on the Bare‐Nucleus Potential57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678588View Description Hide Description
Perturbation calculations of the Fermi contact part of the electron‐coupled nuclear spin‐spin coupling constant (J) in the HD molecule have been performed in the bare‐nucleus potential. A very large Gaussian basis has been employed and, in addition, the effect on J of varying the HD internuclear separation has been considered. The term zeroth order in correlation, J 0, is in good agreement with an independent basis set study as is the geometric approximate to the coupled Hartree‐Fock value. The J 0 and J 1 values reported here differ significantly from those reported in a recent bare‐nucleus perturbation study using numerical H2 + orbitals. We give here a refined value of our previous Hartree perturbative results based on this larger atomic basis set.
Measurement of the Thermal Conductivity of Argon, Krypton, and Nitrogen in the Range 800–2000°K57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678589View Description Hide Description
The thermal conductivities of argon, krypton, and nitrogen were measured at 760 mm Hg in the temperature range 800–2000°K. Two thermal conductivity columns of different outside diameters were used in the experiments to provide an assessment of the convective heat transfer. In addition, potential leads were employed to minimize convection and end effects. The thermal conductivity values obtained were compared with existing data, with results of viscosity measurements, and with theoretical predictions.
Optimization of the Transferability of Atomic Hartree‐Fock Valence Shell Orbitals57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678590View Description Hide Description
Two procedures by which atomic valence shell orbitals may be transferred between atoms have been studied numerically. The one procedure optimizes the overlap between transferred and true orbitals, and the second, the electronic energy calculated with the transferred orbitals. The two procedures give significantly different results. Both improve on the results obtained in a previous study.
Hot Atom Reactions in the HBr–Br2, DBr–Br2 Systems57(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1678591View Description Hide Description
Reactions of photochemically generated hot hydrogen atoms have been studied in HBr–Br2 systems at 185 and 229 nm and in DBr–Br2 systems at 185 nm. Kinetic analysis furnishes k 3/k 2—the rate coefficient ratio for the reactionsandAt 185 nm for HBr, , while at 229 nm . For DBr at 185 nm the ratio is . Complementary trajectory calculations have been performed on a semiempirical potential‐energy surface. The results of these calculations suggest that the observed variations in k 3/k 2 arise primarily because the reaction cross section for Process (3) varies strongly with energy in the hot atom regime and is different for the HBr and DBr systems.

DEFINITION of 'Deed'
A legal document that grants the bearer a right or privilege, provided that he or she meets a number of conditions. In order to receive the privilege - usually ownership, the bearer must be able to do so without causing others undue hardship. A person who poses a risk to society as a result of holding a deed may be restricted in his or her ability to use the property.
Deeds are most known for being used to transfer the ownership of automobiles or land between two parties.
BREAKING DOWN 'Deed'
For example, an individual who holds a deed for a particular section of land has a legal right to possess that land, but may not be able to build a shooting range on it because of the danger it would pose. In other cases, a holder of the title to a piece of property may be able to own the land but, for environmental reasons, not be allowed to develop it.
Some other popular examples of deeds are commissions, academic degrees, licenses to practice, patents and powers of attorney, each of which grant the holder a given right or privilege.

Touting success, Transit continues trash can-free pilot programPosted by: | Comments
The long-running joke about the MTA's pilot programs is that they never end; they just fade away. Over the years, the MTA has announced a few high-profile pilot programs — a contact-less fare payment system, strip maps in certain stations to aid in navigation — that seem to simply die from lack of attention. Just take a look through these Google searches for some indication of the reasonably good ideas the agency has pushed through the pilot phase only to see fall be the wayside when agency leadership changes.
One of the few pilot programs with legs — and one that survived the end of the Jay Walder Era — concerns trash cans. This program — which is still in the pilot phase after nearly four years — involves reducing trash the MTA has to collect by simply removing trash cans. If there's nowhere to deposit trash, the theory goes, the vast majority of people will simply take the trash with them until they pass a trash can. Now, some people are bound to litter whether there's a trash can nearby or not, but the MTA and other international transit agencies have determined that the vast majority of people won't discard garbage without a can around. It's an idea that many struggle with but one that's proven successful.
The MTA first announced this program back in October of 2011, and I was a bit skeptical as I believed the key to eliminating trash was to ban food. But as time passed, the program seemed to work. Coverage in February of 2012 indicated that the agency had less trash to collect and clean from stations without trash cans, and in May of that year, they announced a program expansion. In August 2012, they added eight more stations, and 29 addition stops saw their garbage cans disappear in early 2014.
Now, touting the program's success, the MTA is going to not expand it but simply continue it for another 6-12 months to study its effect. It's not clear why so many years of data isn't enough to merit expansion, but the MTA wants to continue to analyze the program. "This pilot appears counterintuitive but when we placed notices at the pilot stations indicating that the cans had been removed and asked the customers for their cooperation, it looks like they listened," New York City Transit President Carmen Bianco said. "Given these results, we'll continue the pilot and monitor and collect additional data at stations."
In announcing the continuation of what has become the MTA's most active pilot program, the agency noted that garbage collection is down significantly at the 39 stations under review. The early stations have seen bag collection drop by two-thirds while the stations that saw cans removed just last year have undergone a 36% reduction in trash. Meanwhile, overall trash volumes and, more importantly, rat population at stations without trash cans have declined.
"The reduction in trash in these stations reduced the number of bags to be stored and, consequently, improved the customer experience by reducing the potential bags visible to customers as well as the potential food available to rodents," Senior Vice President of Subways Joseph Leader said. "Additionally, the significant reduction in trash reduced the need for trash pickups in the pilot stations, which freed up personnel for deployment to other stations."
It's not entirely clear where Transit goes from here. They still have another 429 stations with trash cans that could be added to this pilot, and they seem hesitant to include any of the popular stations. Flushing-Main St. on the 7 and 8th St.-NYU on the R remain the two most crowded stations without trash cans, and anecdotally, I've certainly not noticed a decrease in cleanliness at either stop.
Ultimately, the MTA can't eliminate all litter without overly aggressive enforcement, but it seems that removing trash cans can cut down on the garbage the agency has to remove to street level from an above- or underground subway system. So why not keep expanding? After a while, pilot programs have to move into the realm of permanence, and this one seems a good candidate for rapid expansion. After all, it's been nearly four years.
Everything old is new again: 'Step Aside Speed Your Ride'Posted by: | Comments
Thanks to a move north for my lawyerly career, my daily commute now takes me through the 51st St. station along the 6, and on the way home on Monday, I caught my first glimpse of the MTA's latest pilot program. In a public awareness campaign that echoes back to the mid-1990s, Transit is testing two platform designs reminding passengers to get out of the way of those exiting trains. It's a common courtesy that shouldn't need to be repeated, but it's also one that often escapes subway riders who rush to board crowded trains as soon as the doors open.
The two designs employ the familiar green characters from the MTA's ongoing "Courtesy Counts" campaign and remind riders to "Step Aside" to "Speed Your Ride." The idea behind the message rests in the MTA's capacity constraints. The agency has recently reported that a recent jump in delays is due nearly entirely to crowds. As more people try to cram into subway cars, trains aren't able to speedily move through stations. Thus, the MTA wants to streamline the border process, and in addition to this decal, the agency is trying to use customer service agents to herd passengers.
The design I saw is unique to 51st St. for now, and the pilot in place at one stop north at 59th St. looks slightly different. Consider it A/B testing for Transit:
As my Instagram photo atop this post shows, the installation also comes with signs hanging at around eye level on the platform support beams. I've had a chance to see it in action for only one train, and while one passenger was, at first, standing in the middle of the "Keep Clear" area, he moved over once the downtown 6 train arrived.
For the MTA, this slogan is not a new one. They employed it in 1996 to decidedly mixed results. A New York Times column expressed skepticism while a short AP story from early 1997 illustrated how nearly all riders simply ignored it. But times have changed, and the MTA is hoping this pilot will yield some improvements. Whether it survives the pilot stage — unlike those handy strip maps — remains to be seen. For now, though, it is apparently the best the MTA can do to help improve crush-load subway operations without an infusion of dollars in the billions. What that says about our hopes for an easy commute is something we best not dwell upon.
Transit Prez Carmen Bianco set to retire in AugustPosted by: | Comments
The revolving door atop the MTA's power structure continues to spin as New York City Transit President Carmen Bianco announced his plans to retire this summer. Bianco, 63, took over the role in April of 2013 when Tom Prendergast was elevated to MTA Chair, and he had previously spent over three years as the Senior Vice President of Subways. He was the seventh New York City Transit President and, outside of Howard Robers, the shortest-tenured one.
As with any agency head, Bianco's time as president has seen its ups and downs — though the downs were brought about by forces of nature largely outside of anyone's control. As VP and later President, he led an agency working to overcome the damage wrought by Superstorm Sandy and developed the early years of Transit's $4 billion Fix & Fortify spending plan. Meanwhile, on the positive side, the subways now serve up to 6 million riders per day, and overall daily NYC Transit ridership has topped 8.2 million. The team Bianco put into place is working to increase subway capacity too, though changes (cough cough open gangways cough cough) can't come soon enough.
MTA officials, meanwhile, praised Bianco and pledged to conduct a wide search for his replacement. "Carmen Bianco is a one-of-a-kind leader as well as a trusted friend, and while I understand why he is ready to retire now, we will all miss his detailed experience, his thoughtful perspective and his constant drive to make transit better for both our customers and our employees," Prendergast said in a statement. "Through initiatives like establishing the FASTRACK program for subway maintenance and aggressively bringing new technology into the system, Carmen made the organizational culture of New York City Transit reflect the priorities that our customers expect. He will be missed."
Video: A Subway Delay StoryPosted by: | Comments
At Monday's MTA Board committee meetings, the folks who oversee New York City Transit enjoyed a screening of this 8-bit take on the MTA's service woes. It's a 110-second summary of how a single delay can echo throughout the system. I'm not sure it really tells us anything new, but it served as an entry into the MTA's new attempts at improving service on congested lines. Essentially, the MTA is going to use shorter pre-recorded announcements to cut dwell times and employees situated in stations to answer questions. It's an incremental improvement but without a massive investment in the signal system, that's among the best the beleaguered agency can do. After my Q train stopped at four red signals between 7th Ave. and De Kalb this morning, I'll take whatever improvements we can get.
On another note, I know many of you have been asking after me. After my vacation, I came down with a bad cold and have been catching up at work after my trip. I should be able to return to a semi-normal posting schedule over the next week. I'd love to offer up some views on my experiences riding the trains in Berlin and Stockholm. For better or worse, they stand in stark contrast to New York City's subways. Thanks as always for sticking around.
This post is delayed by Super Bowl party clean-up ahead of itPosted by: | Comments
I'm too busy trying to figure out what the Seahawks' coaches were doing on 2nd and goal with time running out and the Super Bowl trophy within their grasps to think of much else tonight. I also need to continue to clean up from the part the Future Mrs. Second Ave. Sagas and I hosted tonight so you're stuck without much in the way of original content. If you'd like to read up on more about Gov. Andrew Cuomo's overreaction to last week's snow forecast, check out Kate Hinds' piece on how at least some subway service should run no matter the winter weather. According to the WNYC reporter's interviews with MTA sources and other transit experts in the know, even with an historic blizzard bearing down on New York City, the MTA could run service through most of its system. For its part, the MTA is looking at "amending [winter] plans moving forward." Clearly, this won't be the last we hear of this story.
Snowmageddon 2K2015: Cuomo threatens subway shutdown ahead of stormPosted by: | Comments
In case you've missed it, there's a big amount of snow heading our way. The National Weather Service is warning of a "crippling and potentially historic blizzard" will hit the city with snow totals predicted to be 20-30 inches or more in some areas. The last time a storm of this magnitude struck, passengers were stranded for hours on an N train stuck in Brooklyn and an A left near Howard Beach. Since then, the MTA has been very proactive in managing subway service and its storm response.
As now, it's not clear how Monday is going to unfold. As of just before midnight, the MTA's website offers up only this tidbit regarding tomorrow's New York City Transit service:
NYC Transit personnel are in place to clear platforms and stairs of snow. De-icers and snow-throwers have been strategically deployed to focus on outdoor areas and open cuts that are the most susceptible to high snow accumulations.
The MTA is planning to operate normal bus service tomorrow morning, but depending on road conditions, service may be curtailed as the day progresses. All local buses, including articulated buses, will have chains or snow tires installed by tomorrow's PM rush hour.
Paratransit customers may experience additional travel and wait times.
Gov. Cuomo meanwhile has sounded a more urgent alarm. While asking commuters to stay home if possible, the governor has said "the public transit network including…MTA Subways and Buses may be closed ahead of the evening commute." The language is rather stilted, and it's not totally clear what Cuomo means. My guess is that he's referring to a Plan 4 response to the storm.
In all likelihood, then, as the snow begins to fall around 1 p.m. tomorrow afternoon, the MTA will look to curtail service. Trains will be stored on underground express tracks, and all express service is likely to run local. At-grade subway lines — such as the A through the Rockaways and the N down the Sea Beach Line — are likely to be curtailed while the trains that don't run 24 hours — the M and the B — will stop early. Now, that's not official, but that's been the general approach to major snowstorms.
For the MTA, this week's storm is shaping up to be a big test. They've had successful storms over the past few years, but we haven't seen something of this magnitude in over four years. Since then, the subways weathered Irene and emerged limping out of Sandy. We'll see how this week's storm goes, but ultimately, the same advice applies: Don't travel if you don't have to.
I'll update the site with any weather-related service advisories as they are announced. For now, we're all just waiting for snow and waiting for service changes.
F train derailment report fingers four for disciplinePosted by: | Comments
Laid end-to-end, the tracks of the New York City subway system total more than enough to extend to Chicago. Every day, over 8000 subway trains pass through these tracks, and the system never shuts down. Thus, it's a challenge for the MTA to keep everything in working order, and it requires diligence and an attention to detail to ensure nothing that could cause injuries or cost passenger lives is amiss. In May, that process broke down, and now the MTA is seeking to hold four workers accountable.
As you may recall, back in May, a Manhattan-bound F train derailed in Queens, snarling train traffic through the area for a few days. While no one was seriously injured, a fully train had to be evacuated, and it was the MTA's first major subway derailment in some time. (The MTA's derailment rate remains well below national average.) Still, the agency, as it should, takes these investigations seriously, and on Friday, Transit released a report fingering deficiencies in the track-inspection process. Four workers, the agency, said, will be disciplined for their failures.
"Nothing is more important than providing the safest transportation possible for our customers and employees, so determining the cause of this derailment was a top priority for us," New York City Transit President Carmen Bianco said in a statement. "We immediately took corrective action to ensure we always focus on identifying and correcting track defects. This will minimize the risk of future derailments."
The full report is available here as a PDF. The essence of it is that a series of minor defects that should have been caught by track inspection personnel and subsequently corrected were missed. The train operator, signal system, rolling stock and rail manufacturers were deemed to escape responsibility for the incident, but three Maintenance Supervisors and a Track Inspector are in the MTA's crosshairs.
Here's how the MTA summarized the findings:
New York City Transit's Office of System Safety reviewed video data from prior automated inspections where the derailment occurred. The videos showed that a metal plate and fasteners under the rail had been broken for at least one year before the derailment but were not replaced. The wooden tie under that plate was also in poor condition. Maintenance records also showed that in the eleven months before the derailment, two other broken rails had been reported and replaced in the same 19-foot, 6-inch section of rail.
The combination of the broken plate, broken fasteners and deteriorated tie should have been prioritized for repairs. The report concludes that Division of Track personnel did not identify, document and correct the track defect at that location, either during regular inspections or when the two prior broken rails were replaced. They also did not adequately investigate the underlying causes of the broken rails.
Additionally, the report found that the top of the rail that broke was installed with a 1/8-inch vertical mismatch where the new rail met the slightly worn existing rail. In addition, the metal joint bars used to fasten the two rails together were reused, and one of them had a sharp edge where the top of the joint bar met the underside of the rail head. In addition, one of the six bolts required to secure the joint bar was not present.
To address these issues, the MTA has instituted new procedures regarding broken rails. This includes replacing broken plates and fasteners as soon as possible, and personnel will spend more time inspecting corridors with the highest number of broken rails. The agency will deploy ultrasonic inspection cars, and Division of Track is working to replace bolted joints with continuously welded rail. This should also allow trains to run faster through these corridors. All in all, it's hard work to inspect hundreds of miles of underground track with trains constantly running over them, but as the MTA is keen to admit, that's ultimately no excuse.
A week of safety concerns as ESA drill bit pierces subway tunnelPosted by: | Comments
When you or I think about a drill bit, we probably conjure up images of something small used to secure some houseware to the wall, maybe 3/4 of an inch. We don't really think of drill bits on the scale of the East Side Access project, but today, numerous subway riders and the MTA had a close call with a giant drill bit as it pierced a subway tunnel and narrowly avoided an F train with 800 on board.
The Daily News had the story about the runaway 10-inch drill bit:
A contractor operating a drill as part of the MTA's East Side Access project mistakenly penetrated a Queens subway tunnel on Thursday, and the massive bit scraped the top and side of an occupied F train, transit officials said. Some 800 passengers were aboard the Jamaica-bound train at the time, about 11:45 a.m. Nobody was hurt in the terrifying blunder, but it was far too close for comfort. "That's a near miss," an MTA supervisor said, wondering what would have happened if the bit had made a direct hit and punctured a subway car's passenger compartment. "Oh my God! If it had hit the train, you could forget about it! Of course we are concerned."
…A contractor working on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's East Side Access project, which will connect the Long Island Rail Road to Grand Central Terminal, was operating the drill above ground, roughly at the intersection of 23rd St. and 41st Ave. in Long Island City.
The contractor, Griffin Dewatering New England, Inc., was using the drill to expand a well, said MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz. An MTA source familiar with the work said the contractor was at fault. "Some people don't follow instructions; they drilled deeper than they were supposed to."
This comes at the end of the week during which the MTA David L. Mayer, formerly of the National Transportation Safety Board, to be the agency's first Chief Safety Officer. It also comes at the end of the week during which the NTSB ripped into Metro-North, calling last year's derailments, injuries and deaths "preventable." For more on that — and criticism lobbed toward the FRA as well — check out Railway Age's take and The Times' piece on the press conference.
Much like the drill bit exiting the tunnel today, the only way to go from here is up.
Record ridership in September sparks funding callsPosted by: | Comments
It's starting to seem like a regular occurrence around here, but the MTA has again announced record monthly and daily ridership, this time for September. The numbers are staggering, and as they filtered throughout the transit community yesterday, various groups issued calls for funding and better representation of an important constituency.
According to New York City Transit, on Tuesday, September 23, the MTA recorded 6,106,694 paying customers. This was the fifth day in September alone that over 6 million riders swiped into the subway system, and it marked the first time since the late 1940s — when the elevateds still loomed over the streets of Manhattan — that ridership hit such a high level. Overall, 149 million passengers rode the rails in September, another figure higher than any time since the late 1940s.
MTA leaders were quick to point out the significance of the figure. Back in 1985, when the MTA started tracking daily numbers, the high peaked at 3.7 million. Now, it's nearly two-thirds higher. "New Yorkers and visitors alike continue to vote with their feet, recognizing that riding the subway is the most efficient way to get around town," MTA Chairman and CEO Thomas F. Prendergast said. "This is a phenomenal achievement for a system that carried 3.6 million daily customers just 20 years ago. As ridership increases, the MTA Capital Program is vital to fund new subway cars, higher-capacity signal systems and improved stations to meet our customers' growing needs and rising expectations."
Prendergast wasn't the only one noted the ties between increased ridership and the need for investment in the system. Yonah Freemark noted a connection on Twitter as a few of us were discussing the numbers:
The obvious conclusion from massive NYC Subway ridership: Expansion is necessary
— Yonah Freemark (@yfreemark) October 22, 2014
The city's advocacy groups too picked up the thread. "With more New Yorkers using public transit, we need to guarantee that our system can continue to thrive with the city it serves. These record numbers should be setting off alarm bells for our elected officials in Albany, who will need to find $15 billion in the next few months to fund the MTA's basic infrastructure and construction needs," John Raskin of the Riders Alliance (of which I'm a board member) said. "If we don't continue to invest in our system and build for the future, these strong numbers could represent a peak instead of a trend. It's vital that our elected officials find the funding needed to support the entire $32 billion capital plan, which represents the least we can do to maintain our system so it can last for years into the future."
Gene Russianoff and the Straphangers echoed those sentiments. "The rain of riders," Gene said, "is both an opportunity and a challenge for New York — an opportunity for economic growth that no other American city can even aspire to [and] a challenge to win the necessary capital funds – $32 billion over the next five years – that will allow the subways and buses to handle the millions flocking to the system every day."
The needs are obvious. The popularity is obvious. The support isn't there. Somehow, someway, this disconnect between politicians and their constituents who rely heavily on transit needs to be resolved. New York's future, now more than ever, depends on it.
An uptown A train heads up the downtown tracksPosted by: | Comments
It's been a long time since New York City's last major collision involving two subway cars and multiple injuries. Despite a few recent high-profile derailments, the 1995 Williamsburg bridge incident in which a motorman on the J trail likely fell asleep and rear-ended a stopped M train in front of him was the most recent deadly crash. The motorman was killed, and scores of passengers were injured. Earlier this month along the 8th Avenue line, Transit avoided the potential for a far worse accident.
The story, as Pete Donohue reported it yesterday, is dramatic and scary. Essentially, an A train operator missed a switch and started heading uptown on the downtown express tracks north of Canal St. and south of West 4th. The failures mounted and only quick thinking down the line and a clear view down the tracks averted disaster. Donohue writes:
A subway operator on the A line recently piloted an express train uptown — on a downtown track — for several minutes before coming to a stop, according to sources. A dispatcher tried to contact the crew by radio after realizing the train had pulled out of the Canal St. hub on the wrong track, and was moving against the regular flow of traffic. But the crew later told authorities they never heard the emergency radio broadcasts, the source said.
The operator only halted the A train after she already had passed through the Spring St. station and spotted the headlights of a southbound express idling ahead of her at the next station, W. 4th St., the source said…
Luckily, the screwup happened on a stretch that, for the most part, is a straight track with good visibility, a veteran motorman said. If the train operator had been going around sharp curves, and wasn't hearing or receiving dispatchers calling out on the radio, this could have ended with a serious crash, the knowledgeable old-timer said. "She could have had a head-on collision," he said. "That's the only way to say it. There's no nicer way to put it."
…The A train originally was traveling south when signal problems started causing extensive delays in the system. Dispatchers began rerouting service, and the A train operator was told to was told go back uptown from Canal, sources said. The proper series of steps would have been to empty the train of passengers, pull into a spur track just south of Canal, and then maneuver through a switch to the northbound express track, authorities said. Instead, operator simply went north on the same southbound track, apparently thinking she would soon encounter the crossover switch she needed by going in that direction.
All well's that ends well. The A train was traveling only slowly northbound and was able to stop well before reaching any oncoming train, and dispatchers were able to halt southbound service as the problem was sorted out. But as the B Division trains — the lettered lines — doesn't enjoy the same tracking system as the A Division, it's easy to see how this could have been much, much worse.
It isn't immediately clear how the TO missed the switch. There's already an extensive thread on Subchat debating just that question, and many have questioned why the train operator was not more familiar with the set of switches or the fact that she had ended up on the wrong track. Additionally, the failure of the emergency radio broadcasts is a big concern as well. For now, the TO has been assigned to desk duty, and the MTA is investigating. If anything, this incident underscores the need for modern signal and communications system, something the MTA has wanted, but hasn't been to afford, for years.

Vancouver to Get New Vegan Fine Dining Restaurant
Graze will open in British Columbias largest city later this month.
Vancouver residents will soon be able to enjoy the fine-casual dining atmosphere at the city's newest vegan restaurant, Graze. The forthcoming establishment is a collaboration with theveganproject.com founder Bridget Burns and investor Michael Lyons, and the menu was created by W2 Café's Executive Chef Karen McAthy. Every dish is less than $20 and made with sustainability in mind. Along with vegan cocktails, the restaurant will serve up cruelty-free fare such as pickled beet fries and artichoke and cauliflower perogies with toasted almond and wild nettle pesto sauce. "Our goal with Graze is to add to the growing opinion that plant-based restaurants can offer a satisfying, high-quality dining experience," Burns tells vancitybuzz.com.
