Reply to Why do dead whales keep washing up in NJ? by Shawn0mara

it could be that the whale population has reached a point that we are seeing more dead from old age and other natural causes. there was also a theory put forward that windmills are to blame. research is still out on that last one.

Reply to Why do dead whales keep washing up in NJ? by Shawn0mara

Does anyone have an idea what is the overall population of whales? I know it sounds like a dumb question, but years ago I neversaw deer, or wild turkeys or bear in lower Bergen County. Now they're pretty common.

If the whale population is rebounding in the Atlantic, wouldn't it fllow that there are more whalesto die and therefore wash ashore?

We're getting some new trains. 25 new ALP45-DP-As are being delivered now, and the ML3s should start delivery by 2024. NJT is also looking to put money into upgrading some older/obsolete systems on Comet 2/4/5 and ML 1/2. They could always be buying more, it's keep me busier, but they aren't doing nothing.

Oh, and I know it's not NJ exactly, but PATH is getting more PA5s right now, too.

Reply to Accused Michigan State killer had note in pocket threatening 2 N.J. schools, cops say by norman81118

This was from Ewing school district.

"On Tuesday, February 14, 2023, at approximately 0600 hours, The Ewing Police Department was notified by the New Jersey State Police about a mass shooting incident that occurred at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, which had a possible connection to Ewing, New Jersey. Information received during the investigation indicated that the shooter (Anthony McRae, age 43) had local ties to Ewing Township. When McRae was found by police in Michigan, he had a note in his pocket that indicated a threat to two Ewing Public Schools. Investigation revealed that McRae had a history of mental health issues. As the investigation continued, and out of an abundance of caution, the Ewing Public Schools were closed for the day. Officers from Ewing and surrounding agencies were stationed at each closed public school as well as the other schools in the Township. After further investigation, it has been determined that the incident is isolated to Michigan, and there is no threat to Ewing Schools. Information received during our investigation indicated that McRae has not resided in the Ewing area in several years. The Ewing Police Department would like to thank our Mercer County law enforcement partners for their quick response and assistance while the investigation was in the initial stages. Officers will remain at all schools for the day, and it is anticipated that the normal school schedule will resume tomorrow, February 15.”

Reply to NJIT or Rutgers for physics? by fancyzebras

Which Rutgers campus is it? If it's New Brunswick, then I'd opt to go there vs NJIT. At Rutgers, I would speak with the professors in the Physics dept and see if I could do some grad coursework and assist on some projects/etc since you have grad school as your focus. They're really good about assisting any students who go out on their own to seek experience/knowledge/etc.
