Happy Throwback Thursday! It’s the first day of school for New York City public schools, so we dug through the Museum’s archives to find an image that fit the occasion: here’s a picture from 1969 of a student using a microscope in our Natural Science Center. The Museum has long been the place for curious pupils to visit and learn more about the natural world. In fact, NYC school groups receive free admission! Did you ever visit the Museum on a school field trip? Tell us about your memories at amnh.org/150—we’ll be sharing your stories as we celebrate the Museum’s 150th anniversary!

Letter Opposing Social Security Offsets in Highway Transportation Funding Bill

"On behalf of the millions of members and supporters of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, I write to express our strong opposition to enacting legislation that reduces Social Security benefit payments to America’s seniors for unrelated programs in the surface transportation reauthorization bill."

By law, the revenues received by the Social Security Trust Funds are reserved exclusively for the purpose of paying benefits to the American people and covering associated administrative costs. Americans understand this arrangement and overwhelmingly support it as a vital element of the program’s status as an earned right benefit. Clouding this understanding by proposing Social Security benefit cuts as a means of financing other federal spending fuels the public’s mistrust of business as usual in Washington and leads more and more people to believe that their Social Security contributions are being stolen or converted to other purposes.

The scattered residents of rural southwest Virginia have few options when it comes to getting to their health care providers if they don’t own a car. There are no fixed bus lines and virtually no taxi service.

“We are about as rural as you can get,” with mountainous terrain and long distances to some services, said Mitch Elliott, transit director for Mountain Empire Older Citizens in Big Stone Gap, Va. It’s 90 miles to the nearest Veterans Administration facility, for instance.

Especially vulnerable in areas like these are the older adults with chronic conditions, such as end-stage renal disease. Kidney dialysis patients need the treatment several times a week — and only certain places provide it.

“This is basically a matter of life and death,” Elliott said.

Marathoners go on the move in New York City

AP: Even though the New York City Marathon was canceled, hundreds of runners in marathon shirts, carrying backpacks full of supplies, took the ferry to Staten Island and ran to stricken neighborhoods to help.

Others gathered in Central Park to put in 26.2 miles even though the event was canceled due to Superstorm Sandy.

Many runners found a way to volunteer for storm victims.

As if all of this isn’t enough, funding for the nation’s roads and public transit will also expire at the end of October. Because the Highway Trust Fund no longer takes in enough gasoline tax revenue to cover surface transportation costs, Congress must come up with more funding. When Congress passed a temporary funding fix this summer, House leaders proposed using Social Security funds to pay for it.

9/11 Memorial Museum Opens To Public

NEW YORK, NY - MAY 21: Firefighters, police, members of the military and the public participate in the ceremonial transfer of the National 9/11 Flag into the The National September 11 Memorial Museum permanent collection on May 21, 2014 in New York City. The giant American Flag, which was flying from a building beside the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 and was later found badly damaged in the debris of ground zero, was unfurled at the World Trade Center site in a ceremony. The flag was refolded and firefighters marched it into the museum. The National September 11 Memorial Museum opened its doors to the general public today. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

The flag feels powerful. The other stuff around this museum evokes a different kind of emotion entirely.
