Any information about 1887 Midland Railroad in central Indiana?`? Question: The railroad, also known as the Central Indiana Railway had stations at Muncie, Avondale, Anderson, Lapel, Noblesville, Westfield, Jolietville, Roston, Gadsden, Lebanon, Advance, New Ross, Ladoga, Waveland, Waveland Juction, Sand Creek, E. Rockville, Bridgeton, Carbon & Brazil, Indiana. It ran a total of 117 miles.
Answer:
There's a history and timeline for the Midland, which became the Central Indiana in 1903, at this website:
http://www.indianatrails.org/MidlandTrace/history.htm
There are photos of the right of way and links to related sites in the area.
It looks like at least part of it is now a recreation trail called the Midland Trace.
It says there that the road eventually became part of Conrail, but that it was torn up in the mid-1980s.

What do you think of an Air Filtration Machine that can take in carbon dioxide , and clean air comes out? Question: I had invented this machine and it works! Iam looking for funding and or grants to get this patent and trademarked thru out US and other countries. This is to go on every factory roof top or maybe inside factories, and on every high rise, and one big enough for the space shuttle. No Time for games, scams, or fraudulate offers. this is the real thing need help! This can save lives of animals,human lives, maybe your child other family member that is breathing bad fumes/carbon dioxide, save them from cancer,liver disease,or other life threatening heath issue. How concered are you? Can you help me make this happened? Can this be the answer to global warming? I believe it is. My invention works with 2 filtration fiters in it. It is an all green product. This production can fill many job positions all over the US. Many Steel Mill throughout the US are being fined Indiana, Minnesota need help the polution in the air is a serious heath matter. I think this is a step in the right direction.
Answer:
Unless you have a place where the CO2 will go it does not sound practical. If CO2 gets absorbed into a filter what happens when the filter is full? Do you burn it?
Do you have any idea how many tons of CO2 come out of a steel mill or a coal burning electric plant every minute? That is going to be a monstrous set of filters for burning hot gases. Pushing those gases through a filter is going to take a lot of energy which will mean more combustion to create that power and raise the cost of the electricity or the steel that the plant is making.
Do your homework on this subject. Doesn't the space shuttle burn hydrogen so its exhaust has no CO2 just water vapor?

Anyone else deer hunt in southwest Indiana? Question: I am looking for new things to try in the woods. I use a true talker and have been using short grunts. I use tinks scent bombs. I havent used tinks 69 yet too earley I think. I also have been rattling softly. I use a viper SS tree stand. All the scent killer stuff possible. I also use a buckmaster bow people tell me to change bows but I put deer down with it just fine. I use carbons with three bladed 100 grain muzzy's. I also use google earth to get ariel photographs. but for some reason I have only seen 1 buck so far this year it was a basket rack 6 I know there are bigger ones there any tips?
I just started using the deer scents and calls because it is getting close to the rut the grunts I normaly put out 3 a hour and rattle maybe 2 times a day ive been going out since Oct 1st and started using them maybe a week ago and I did that because I havent been seeing any bucks then i used them and seen the 6 point
Answer:
You might want to try nothing at all. Drop the calls and deer scents and just use scent-cover. Get into the woods early and don't make any un-neccesary noise. I think you're problem was the same as mine, over pressured deer. All the other hunters are probally doing the same thing as you were. After a while the deer get used to it and stay away from some of those sounds.
It sounds like you have the scent-control part down pat, so just try sitting for one or two days with out calls. Hope this works for you like it worked for me!

help! please? Question: Vegetable farmers often plant soybeans every few years. Rotating crops breaks up the life cycles of many insect pests, and the soybean plants provide the soil with nitrogen. Other crop plants need the nitrogen to grow well. A field of soybean seeds has been planted on a farm in Indiana. As soon as the first leaves emerge from the seed, photosynthesis begins.
Which substance is the chemical food source for the soybean plants?
a sunlight
b water
c glucose
d carbon dioxide
A soybean plant uses cellular respiration to generate usable chemical energy. Which substance is generated by the soybean cell during cellular respiration?
a glucose
b chlorophyll
c carbon dioxide
d ATP
Answer:
The answer for the 1st question will be sunlight as it is the primary energy source for all living organisms. The answer for the 2nd question will be ATP as it the substance being generated in the cell during cellular respirations. Glucose and carbon dioxide will be the final product in the cellular respiration. On the other hand, chlorophyll will be a pigment to absorb light in green plants.

Who agrees that Obama's Global Poverty Act and worldwide tax is just code for socialism? Question: http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=302222641317480
KEY EXCERPTS:
We are citizens of the world, Sen. Obama told thousands of nonvoting Germans during his recent tour of the Middle East and Europe. And if the Global Poverty Act (S. 2433) he has sponsored becomes law, which is almost certain if he wins in November, we're also going to be taxpayers of the world.
Speaking in Berlin, Obama said: "While the 20th century taught us that we share a common destiny, the 21st has revealed a world more intertwined than at any time in human history."
What the 20th century really showed was a series of totalitarian threats — from fascism to Nazism to communism — defeated by the U.S. military. Hitler's Germany, Mussolini's Italy, Tojo's Japan and the Soviet Union offered destinies we did not share.
Our destiny of peace and freedom through strength was not achieved by a transnationalist fantasy of buying the world a Coke and singing "Kumbaya."
Obama's Global Poverty Act offers us a global socialist destiny we do not want, one that challenges America's very sovereignty. The former "post-racial" candidate obviously intends to be a post-national president.
.
Obama would give them all a fish without teaching them how to fish. Pledging to cut global poverty in half on the backs of U.S. taxpayers is a ridiculous and impossible goal.
His legislation refers to the "millennium development goal," a phrase from a declaration adopted by the United Nations Millennium Assembly in 2000 and supported by President Clinton.
It calls for the "eradication of poverty" in part through the "redistribution (of) wealth of land" and "a fair distribution of the earth's resources." In other words: American resources.
It's a mantra of liberals that the U.S. is only a small portion of the world's population yet consumes an unseemly portion of the planet's supposedly finite resources. Never mentioned is the fact that America's population, just 5% of the world's total, also produces a stunning 27% of the world's GDP — to the enormous benefit of other countries. Nonetheless, their solution is to siphon off the product of our free democracy and distribute it.
We already transfer too much national wealth to the United Nations and its busybody agencies. Obama's bill would force U.S. taxpayers to fork over 0.7% of our gross domestic product every year to fund a global war on poverty, spending well above the $16.3 billion in global poverty aid the U.S. already spends.
Over a 13-year period, from 2002, when the U.N.'s Financing for Development Conference was held, to the target year of 2015, when the U.S is expected to meet its part of the U.N. Millennium goals, we would be spending an additional $65 billion annually for a total of $845 billion.
During a time of economic uncertainty, the plan would cost every American taxpayer around $2,500.
If you're worried abut gasoline and heating oil prices now, think what they'll be like when the U.S. is subjected in an Obama administration to global energy consumption and production taxes. Obama's Global Poverty Act is the "international community's" foot in the door.
The U.N. Millennium declaration called for a "currency transfer tax," a "tax on the rental value of land and natural resources," a "royalty on worldwide fossil energy production — oil, natural gas, coal . . . fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for the airplane use of the skies, fees for the use of the electromagnetic spectrum, fees on foreign exchange transactions, and a tax on the carbon content of fuels."
Co-sponsors of S. 2433 include Democrats Maria Cantwell of Washington, Dianne Feinstein of California, Richard Durbin of Illinois and Robert Menendez of New Jersey. GOP globalists supporting the bill include Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and Richard Lugar of Indiana.
Lugar has worked with Obama to promote more aid to Russia to promote nuclear nonproliferation. Lugar also promotes the Law of the Sea treaty, which turns over the world's oceans to an International Seabed Authority that would charge us to drill offshore and have veto power over the movements and actions of the U.S. Navy.
Obama's agenda sounds like defeated 2004 Democratic candidate John Kerry's "global test" for U.S. foreign policy decisions where "you have to do it in a way that passes the test — that passes the global test — where your countrymen, your people understand fully why you're doing what you're doing and you can prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons."
Obama has called on the U.S. to "lead by example" on global warming and probably would submit to a Kyoto-like agreement that would sock Americans with literally trillions of dollars in costs over the next half century for little or no benefit.
"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times . . . and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama has said
Answer:
Progressive taxation and lending money to Africa has NOTHING affiliated with socialism.
The bailout from the Bush Administration is textbook socialism.

What do you think about this article on obama voters in November? Question: What do you call a candidate who wins 90 percent of the African-American vote, between 30 percent and 50 percent of the Hispanic vote and 40 percent of the white vote in a tight Democratic primary race? A general election loser.
Apply those percentages to the general election, and the candidate will bomb. In 2004, President Bush won 43 percent of the Hispanic vote, 58 percent of the white vote and 11 percent of the African-American vote. That means that John Kerry did better among Hispanics than Barack Obama has done in the Democratic primaries; better among whites than Obama has done in the Democratic primaries; and almost as well among African-Americans. Obama's coalition is Kerry's, but weaker.
In a general election, candidates must appeal to the broadest base of support in order to win. Relying on small coteries of like-raced voters simply will not do it. And the simple fact is that Barack Obama will gain the Democratic nomination by winning intellectual centers, black voters and just enough whites to beat a deeply flawed Hillary Clinton.
This is not a winning coalition. It is, in fact, a recipe for disaster against John McCain.
The black vote counts for a far greater percentage in the Democratic primaries than it does in the general election; McCain can lose virtually the entire black vote and still win handily (Bush did it in 2000 and 2004, Bush's father did it in 1988 and Reagan did it in 1984 and 1980).
McCain will do far better among whites than Hillary did. Obama cut especially into Clinton's main base of support -- whites -- by exploiting her gender, winning 40 percent of white males in Indiana and 45 percent of white males in North Carolina. McCain is far more appealing to white men than Clinton. Hillary is perceived as a shrew -- most men find her unpalatable. If Obama could not win more than 45 percent of white men in North Carolina running against Clinton, how can he hope to beat that percentage against McCain?
And then there's the Hispanic vote. For a Democrat, Obama is shockingly unpopular among Hispanics -- he won just 32 percent of California's Hispanic vote in the Democratic primary. McCain, by contrast, is incredibly popular among Hispanics -- he routinely wins 70 percent of the Hispanic vote in his Arizona Senate contests. Such percentages will not translate directly to the general election, of course -- there are more registered Hispanic Democrats than Hispanic Republicans. But those percentages bode ill for Obama, who will struggle to overcome racial barriers, as well as an immigration-friendly Republican like McCain, who also shares many family values with Hispanic Catholics.
These numbers are not likely to change significantly before November. This is because Obama has established himself as a candidate -- he is a mixed-race Adlai Stevenson carbon copy with better rhetorical skill. His association with Jeremiah Wright will not win him additional white votes; his elitism will not win him additional lower-class votes; his racial appeal does not have the same appeal to Hispanic voters.
This leaves McCain in the unexpected position of November front-runner. He will almost certainly win Florida and Ohio, and he will challenge in Pennsylvania. He will retain the states President Bush won, as well.
Democrats expected a political realignment in 2008, with a strong new coalition led by young voters. Instead, they may end up with 1972 all over again.

Why is Obama promoting a global tax for poverty to be paid for by Americans via socialism? Question: http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=302222641317480

Co-sponsors of S. 2433 include Democrats Maria Cantwell of Washington, Dianne Feinstein of California, Richard Durbin of Illinois and Robert Menendez of New Jersey. GOP globalists supporting the bill include Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and Richard Lugar of Indiana.
