| At the Throttle Shoot-outs, Santa and Preservation
I recently read a posting on an internet site dedicated to railroad preservation which offered an opinion that museums should not have shoot-outs because they are "hokey" and do a disservice to the museum. As the Executive Director of the most complete steam era railroad complex in the country, I've been struggling with just such issues. Yes, we do feature shoot-outs and we also offer the Polar Express®, both of which could be considered pretty "hokey." This begs the question: How does the featuring of these events mesh with our mission? .
Ads take flight: Madison airport seeks to stem passenger dropoff by ...
It's all about the journey. That's the theme of the Dane County Regional Airport's first general advertising campaign designed to increase awareness of nonstop destinations, ease of use and enhanced terminal facilities. The journey for some, however, has been rough as the Madison airport continues to struggle with flight cancellations, delays and competition from the Milwaukee and Chicago airports. .

I Heart the ISS: Ten Reasons to Love the International Space Station
International Cooperation. Didn't your heart swell with pride for the Europeans when the Columbus science module finally became part of the station this week? And you gotta love the Canadians for their reliable, heavy-duty Canadarm 2. The Russians have been steady partners in station construction and re-supply for years now. Japan's science lab will be added on the next shuttle mission. The ISS is the largest, most complex, international engineering project in history. In a world where violence and political animosity floods the daily news, it's incredible that this structure is quietly being built by 16 different countries working together in relative harmony. If not for the international partners, the ISS probably wouldn't have gotten off the ground. NASA Administrator Mike Griffin has said that the station's most enduring legacy is the international partnership that created it.
