Fort Greene, Brooklyn
Fort Greene is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. Part of Brooklyn Community Board 2, Fort Greene is listed on the New York State Registry and on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a New York City-designated Historic District. It is located in northwest Brooklyn, just across from Lower Manhattan and north of Prospect Park.
The neighborhood is named after an American Revolutionary War era fort that was built in 1776 under the supervision of General Nathanael Greene of Rhode Island.[1] General Greene aided General George Washington during the Battle of Long Island in 1776. Fort Greene Park, originally called Washington Park and Brooklyn's first, is also derived from General Greene's name and the neighborhood. In 1864, Fort Greene Park was redesigned by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. The park notably includes the Prison Ship Martyrs' Monument and crypt, which honors some 11,500 patriots who died aboard British prison ships during the American Revolution.
Fort Greene contains many examples of mid-19th century Italianate and Eastlake architecture, most of which is well preserved. It is known for its many tree-lined streets and elegant low-rise housing. Fort Greene is also home to the Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower, which for over 80 years[citation needed] was the tallest building in Brooklyn. The neighborhood is close to the Atlantic Terminal train station and has access to most major subway lines.
Fort Greene is also home to the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Brooklyn Music School, The Paul Robeson Theater, The Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts, BRIC Arts|Media|Bklyn, UrbanGlass, 651 Arts performing center for African-American presenters, The Irondale Center for Theater, Education, and Outreach, the Mark Morris Dance Center and Lafayette Church. It is home also to Brooklyn Technical High School, one of New York City's most competitive public schools.[citation needed] Pratt Institute, in neighboring Clinton Hill, is one of the leading art schools in the United States.
Fort Greene is bounded by Flushing Avenue to the north, Flatbush Avenue to the west, Vanderbilt Avenue to the east and Atlantic Avenue to the south. Its main arteries are Fulton Street, Lafayette Avenue and DeKalb Avenue. The neighborhood is served by the New York City Subway at DeKalb Avenue (B D N Q R trains), Atlantic Avenue – Barclays Center (2 3 4 5 B D N Q R trains), Lafayette Avenue (A C trains), and Fulton Street (G train). The LIRR's Atlantic Terminal station is also here, and the neighborhood is served by the NYPD's 88th[2] Precinct.

Early history[edit]
In approximately 800 A.D. a gradual movement of Native Americans advanced from the Delaware area into lower New York, ultimately settling as part of the Canarsie tribe among 13 tribes of the Algonquin Nation. In 1637, Walloon reformed Joris Jansen Rapelje purchased 335 acres (1.36 km2) of Native American land from Dutch West India Company in the area of Brooklyn that became known as Wallabout Bay (from Waal Boght or "Bay of Walloons").[3] This is the area where the Brooklyn Navy Yard now stands on the northern border of Fort Greene. An Italian immigrant named Peter Caesar Alberti started a tobacco plantation near the bay in Fort Greene in 1649 but was killed six years later by Native Americans. In 1776, under the supervision of General Nathanael Greene of Rhode Island the American Revolutionary War era Fort Putnam was constructed. Later renamed after Greene, the fort was a star-shaped earthwork that mounted six 18-pound cannons, and was the largest on Long Island. After the American defeat in the Battle of Long Island, George Washington withdrew his troops from the Fort under the cover of darkness, a brilliant move that saved the outnumbered American army from total defeat by the British. Although the fort was repaired in advance of an expected attack on Brooklyn by the British during the War of 1812, it thereafter slowly deteriorated.
19th century[edit]
In 1801 the U.S. government purchased land on Wallabout Bay for the construction of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, stimulating some growth in the area. Ferry service linking Manhattan and Brooklyn launched in 1814, and Brooklyn's population exploded from 4,000 to nearly 100,000 by 1850.[citation needed] Fort Greene was known as The Hill and was home to a small commuter population, several large farms - the Post Farm, the Spader farm, the Ryerson Farm, and the Jackson farm - and a burial ground. As early as the 1840s the farms' owners began selling off their land in smaller plots for development. Country villas, frame row houses, and the occasional brick row house dotted the countryside, and one of them was home to poet Walt Whitman, editor of the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper.
Since the early 19th century, African Americans have made significant contributions to Fort Greene's development. New York State outlawed slavery in 1827 and 20 years later "Coloured School No. 1," Brooklyn's first school for African-Americans, opened at the current site of the Walt Whitman Houses. abolitionists formed the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church in 1857, and hosted speakers such as Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman and also aided in the work of the Underground Railroad. Skilled African-American workers fought for their rights at the Navy Yard during the tumultuous Draft Riots of 1863 against armed hooligan bands. The principal of P.S. 67 in the same year was African American, and Dr. Phillip A. White became the first black member of Brooklyn's Board of Education in 1882. By 1870, more than half of the blacks in Brooklyn lived in Fort Greene, most of them north of Fort Greene Park.
In the 1850s Fort Greene's growth spread out from stagecoach lines on Myrtle Avenue and Fulton Street that ran to Fulton Ferry, and The Hill became known as the home of prosperous professionals, second only to Brooklyn Heights in prestige. During the 1850s and 1860s, blocks of Italianate brick and brownstone row houses were built on the remaining open land to house the expanding upper and middle class population. The names of the most attractive streets (Portland, Oxford, Cumberland, Carlton, and Adelphi) came from fine London terraces and streets of the early 19th century. By the 1870s construction in the area had virtually ended, and the area still maintains hundreds of Italianate, Second Empire, Greek Revival, Neo-Grec, Romanesque Revival and Renaissance Revival row houses of virtually original appearance.
As Manhattan became more crowded, the poor as well as the well-off made Fort Greene their home, and the unoccupied areas of Myrtle Avenue became a shanty town known as "Young Dublin." In response to the horrible conditions found there, Walt Whitman called for a park to be constructed and stated in a column in the Eagle, "[as] the inhabitants there are not so wealthy nor so well situated as those on the heights...we have a desire that these, and the generations after them, should have such a place of recreation..." The park idea was soon co-opted by longtime residents to protect the last open space in the area from development.
Washington Park, renamed Fort Greene Park in 1897, was established as Brooklyn's first park in 1847 on a 30-acre (120,000 m2) plot around the site of the old Fort. In 1864, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, by now famous for their design of Central Park, were contracted to design the park, and constructed what was described in 1884 as "one of the most central, delightful, and healthful places for recreation that any city can boast." Olmsted and Vaux's elegant design featured flowering chestnut trees along the periphery, open grassy spaces, walking paths, a vine-covered arbor facing a military salute ground, a permanent rostrum for speeches, and two lawns used for croquet and tennis. The park's success prompted the creation of the larger Prospect Park. At the highest point of the park, The Prison Ship Martyrs Monument and vault was erected in 1908 to house the bones of some of the 12,000 Revolutionary soldiers and civilians whose bodies were thrown off British prison ships and later washed ashore. The monument, designed by the firm of McKim, Mead, and White, was the world's largest Doric column at 143 feet (44 m) tall, and housed a bronze urn at its apex. Restoration work on the monument was completed in the late 2000s.
On April 24, 1888, the Fulton Street Elevated began running from Fulton Ferry to Nostrand Avenue, shortening the commute of Fort Greene residents, while also blocking light and adding street noise to residents facing Fulton Street. Elevated lines also ran along Lafayette Avenue and Myrtle Avenue.
Urban development in 1858[edit]
New York Times, 1858, "Homes of the Poor" "The poverty stricken condition of the inhabitants residing in the Fort Green (sic)/Clinton Hill district] of Brooklyn render it almost an unknown land,". Focusing on a certain section of the east Brooklyn area defined as "between Flushing and Dekalb Avenues, as far east as Classon Avenue and as far west as Ryerson, extending across Fulton Avenue," the Times item said the real estate boom has resulted in class conflict among a majority of the area's longtime residents (identified as "renters or squatters") and its new neighbors—middle to upper income homeowners (identified as out-priced Manhattanites attracted to the spatial wealth of Brooklyn and able to afford the high price of its grand scale Neo-Gothic brownstones.) The paper further explained the conflict as one that had existed for some time, evidenced perhaps by a letter to the editor of a local Brooklyn paper published prior to the Times profile. The author, a new homeowner, wrote "Perchance there are but few places about more desirable for residences, or more pleasant for our evening walks...(but) on every side filthy shanties are permitted to be erected from which issue all sorts of offensive smells...It is indeed a fact that many of the inmates of these hovels keep swine, cattle, etc. in their cellars and not an unusual circumstance to witness these animals enjoying side by side with their owners the cheering rays of the sun; whilst offal and filth of the assorted family is suffered to collect about their premises and endanger the lives of those in their neighborhood by its sickening and deadly effluvia."[4]
20th century[edit]
Fort Greene in the early 20th century became a significant cultural destination. After the original Brooklyn Academy of Music in Brooklyn Heights burned down in 1903, the current one was built in Fort Greene, and opened in 1908 with a production of Charles Gounod's Faust featuring Enrico Caruso and Geraldine Farrar (On December 11, 1920, Caruso suffered a throat hemorrhage while singing at BAM, and died in August, 1921). At the time, BAM was the most complexly designed cultural center in Greater New York since the construction of Madison Square Garden 15 years earlier. Fort Greene also showcased two stunning movie theaters, built in the 1920s: The Paramount Theater has been converted into Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus; and the Brooklyn Fox Theatre on Flatbush Avenue at Fulton Street which was demolished in 1971. Built from 1927–1929, the Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower, one of Brooklyn's tallest buildings, is considered one of the 10 greatest skyscrapers in New York. It is located next to the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Brooklyn Technical High School, one of New York's most selective public high schools began construction on Fort Greene Place in 1930.
The poet Marianne Moore lived and worked for many years in an apartment house on Cumberland Street. Her apartment, which is lovingly recalled in Elizabeth Bishop's essay, "Efforts of Affection", has been preserved exactly as it existed during Moore's lifetime—though not in Fort Greene. To see the Moore apartment you need to travel to Center City Philadelphia, to the Rosenbach Museum & Library. After her death, the furnishings and contents of Marianne Moore's apartment were purchased by the Rosenbach brothers, renowned collectors of literary ephemera. These pieces were then painstakingly reassembled in the top floor of their Philadelphia townhouse. Richard Wright wrote Native Son while living on Carlton Avenue in Fort Greene.
During World War II, the Brooklyn Navy Yard employed more than 71,000 people. Due to the resulting demand for housing, the New York City Housing Authority built 35 brick buildings between 1941 and 1944 ranging in height from six to fifteen stories collectively called the Fort Greene Houses. Production at the yard declined significantly after the war and many of the workers either moved on or fell on hard times. In 1957-1958 the houses were renovated and divided into the Walt Whitman Houses and the Raymond V. Ingersoll Houses. One year later Newsweek profiled the housing project as "one of the starkest examples" of the failures of public housing. The article painted a picture of broken windows, cracked walls, flickering or inoperative lighting, and elevators being used as toilets. Further depressing the area was the decommissioning of the Navy Yard in 1966 and dismantling of the Myrtle Avenue elevated train in 1969 which made the area much less attractive to Manhattan commuters.
From the 1960s through the 1980s, Fort Greene fought hard times that came with city-wide poverty, crime and drugs. While some houses were abandoned, artists, preservationists and Black professionals began to claim and restore the neighborhood in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Herbert Scott Gibson, a resident of the street called Washington Park, organized the Fort Greene Landmarks Preservation Committee which successfully lobbied for the establishment of Historic District status. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated two districts, the Fort Greene and BAM Historic Districts, in 1978. The Committee is now known as the Fort Greene Association. Spike Lee established his 40 Acres & A Mule Filmworks company in Fort Greene in the mid 1980s, further strengthening the resurgence of the neighborhood. The Fort Greene Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 and expanded in 1984.[5]
21st century[edit]
The late 1990s and early 2000s saw the influx of many new residents and businesses to Fort Greene. While issues of gentrification are raised, Fort Greene stands to many as one of the best examples of a truly racially and economically diverse neighborhood with what The New York Times referred to as a "prevailing sense of racial amity that intrigues sociologists and attracts middle-class residents from other parts of the city." GQ describes it in this way: "one of the rare racial mucous membranes in the five boroughs — it's getting white-ified but isn't there yet, and so is temporarily integrated."[6]
The controversial Atlantic Yards project to build an arena (known as the Barclays Center) for the then-New Jersey Nets (now the Brooklyn Nets) and a complex of large commercial and residential high-rises on the border of Fort Greene and Prospect Heights has garnered opposition from many neighborhood residents including Councilwoman Letitia James and author Jhumpa Lahiri.
Fort Greene/Clinton Hill has garnered attention for The Local, its experimental Hyperlocal blog produced by The New York Times in collaboration with CUNY Graduate School of Journalism. It relies much on community participation, as seen from contributions by locals, crowdsourcing opportunities and their Virtual Assignment Desk. Much of its content is written by CUNY students and members of the community. From around 2001 to 2011, it was home to a popular bar called Moe's, which was frequented by journalists, artists, cooks, and people in the entertainment industry. It closed and was replaced controversially by a new bar called Mo's.

Q: The traffic light installed recently (and temporarily, I hope) where the ramp for traffic from Route 22 west meets MacArthur Road south has got to be malfunctioning. It stays red for MacArthur traffic for insane periods — two or three minutes sometimes. The traffic volume on MacArthur is at least 20 times that coming from 22, so the light backs up traffic on MacArthur unnecessarily. I've seen many frustrated motorists go through the red. I'm guessing (hoping) this is just temporary, but someone needs to fix the timer on that light.
— Paul Smith, Whitehall Township
Q: While driving south on MacArthur Road a few weeks ago, I noticed two new 'No Left Turn' signs in advance of construction zones. The first sign forbids left turns onto Glenside Drive at Wawa. The next prohibits lefts onto Fairmont Avenue at the Home Depot intersection. How long will left turns be forbidden at these locations? Is there a better way to keep motorists informed of significant traffic-pattern changes?

— Dale Heffelfinger, Whitehall Township
A: I have bad news, good news, and bad news, respectively (and respectfully), gentlemen.
The new traffic signal that greeted motorists about a month ago at the point where the ramp from Route 22 west meets MacArthur Road south is temporary, Paul, but it will remain till nearly the end of the interchange reconstruction project, through 2013 if work remains on schedule.
The light will be replaced at some point next year by another signal that will control the flow of traffic through a "break" in the MacArthur median barrier, at a new intersection to be created there.
The existing ramp for 22 west to MacArthur south will be eliminated (at which point the temporary signal will have to go too, of course), and traffic headed in those directions will use a reconfigured version of the existing ramp from 22 west to MacArthur north: Vehicles heading south will turn left at a planned new signal, through the barrier opening, and cross over to the southbound side of MacArthur.
A similar reconfiguration will take place at the ramp-access point on the south side of 22. All 22 east traffic headed to MacArthur will use a revamped ramp that will exit the highway prior to the MacArthur bridge; the existing ramp to northbound MacArthur will be gone.
These features will eliminate the dangerous weave patterns at the merge points on 22 beneath the bridge, in both directions, that have plagued the interchange for the past 60 years, particularly in the last few decades of rising traffic speed and volume.
PennDOT's regional traffic-signals manager, Tom Walter, said the temporary light is intended to help move traffic through the difficult construction area as efficiently and safely as possible.
The signal is designed to work in concert with those immediately to the north and south, yet sheer traffic volume overwhelms the corridor at times — not a rare occurrence even before construction began.
In fact, though the temporary signal runs on various cycle lengths and timing plans during the day and week, generally MacArthur gets 22 percent more green time than the ramp during off-peak times, and 36 percent more during morning and evening rush periods, Walter said.
There is a factor that could jack up the red-phase duration, though: If the ramp from 22 backs up with traffic, sensors extend the green time to help prevent the queue from extending all the way to 22 itself — at the expense of green time for MacArthur traffic. Traffic jams on MacArthur are frustrating, but the danger factor is torqued up on 22.
Regarding the "no left turn" signs for southbound MacArthur at Glenside Road, and again at Fairmont, Dale (and Robert Eck raised the same issue), as you may have noticed, more signage has been added, especially at Fairmont, since your question pulled onto my email deck.
Left turns were prohibited at both intersections early this month when construction work eliminated the left-turn lanes at each. There was a bit of a delay from the time the initial graphic signs were posted adjacent to the traffic signals (and the left-lane signal heads were "bagged" at that time as well) and the installation of the additional placards at roadside, PennDOT officials admitted. But it was only a matter of a week or so, by my calculation.
With the upgrade, signs warning of the prohibition at Glenside are posted well in advance, at the new Lehigh Street intersection, as part of the Glenside detour of which Lehigh is a part, said PennDOT engineer John Harmonosky. "We do provide five additional signs" warning of the Glenside restriction "in reference to the detour route," he said.
At Fairmont, now that they've added extra signs, the approach is well-marked. That wasn't the case at the start, so the state fell short initially but eventually got it right. The jug-handle to the right (which turns initially toward Home Depot) serves as the detour for southbound MacArthur vehicles onto Fairmont.
OK, I had bad news for Bill in that the "temporary" traffic light will be in force until another signal replaces it, which in a way makes it permanent.
The good news is that the left-turn ban at Glenside will last "only" through the current phase of construction, Harmonosky said. If all goes well, that should be until the end of June next year, said PennDOT spokesman Ron Young.
And that's as good as it gets. The final piece of bad news: Lefts onto Fairmont are verboten until the new interchange opens at the end of 2013 (if we're lucky).
Incidentally, does everyone always abide by these left-turn bans? They do not, by my observations. But here's another advance warning sign of sorts: One Warrior spy has noticed Whitehall police officers hanging around near the Glenside intersection, and they could very well do the same at Fairmont.
Road Warrior appears Mondays and Fridays, and the Warrior blogs at mcall.com. Email questions about roadways, traffic and transportation, with your name and the municipality where you live, to firstname.lastname@example.com, or write to Road Warrior, Box 1260, Allentown, PA 18105-1260.

Pioneer Cuddles Up To HTC But Not All Android Devices
By David Richards | Thursday | 29/11/2012
Pioneer Electronics has begun offering firmware updates so that HTC smartphones can connect to their receivers. What is not known is why the Company is not working on connectivity for all Android based devices.
The Japanese Company claims that their new HTC Connect simplifies the Wi-Fi streaming of music from select HTC phones to the DLNA-networked AVRs and ensures reliable performance. Certification reduces the number of steps that a consumer must take on an HTC phone to initiate streaming to the AVRs, which will appear on an HTC smartphone's screen as a compatible HTC Connect device for quick selection.
The HTC device will also stream album art and metadata through the AVRs to a connected TV, Pioneer noted.
The firmware update is available for Pioneer- and Elite-branded AVRs as a network-delivered or as an upload via a USB drive.
The AVRs and speakers work with the HTC One X+, HTC One VX and HTC Droid DNA. A complete list of compatible phones and HTC Connect-certified devices can be found at PioneerElectronics.com/HTC.

Can banks really do that?
Thursday, September 15, 2011
A recent article in the Sydney Morning Herald discussed a bank's recent practice of 'blacklisting' certain buildings on which they refuse to lend finance. This means that whilst you have a pre-approval to borrow a specific amount, the bank may later not agree to lend you any money if your 'perfect place' happens to be on their blacklist. There are several reasons why a property might end up on a bank's blacklist, which may change from time to time. Read More-->

School Committee reminded of its standards
School Committee: Norms and Standards (policy BDA-E) We, the Arlington School Committee, acknowledge that a School Committee meeting is a meeting of School Committee members that is held in public and not a public meeting and that we will make every effort to ensure that meetings are effective and efficient. To that end, we acknowledge the importance of subcommittees and we and the superintendent agree to utilize them to focus on specific topics in-depth and to prepare for presentation, deliberation, and possible action by the School Committee. We, the Arlington School Committee, set forth these Standards and Norms that we will all commit to abide by as individuals and as a committee: 1. Represent the needs and interests of all students in the district. 2. Exercise leadership in vision, planning, policy making, evaluation, and advocacy on behalf of the students and district, not in managing the day-to-day operations of the district. &n ...
Vote *against* Community Preservation Act
If you can afford it ... The CPA is a good deal for municipalities whose residents can afford it. In exchange for a property tax surcharge of 1 to 3 percent, the state will provide matching money (used to be $1 for $1, is now more on the order of 50 cents state matching on each dollar of local property tax surcharge). At least 10% of the match must be spent on each of 3 categories - open space, historic preservation, and affordable housing; the remaining 70% can be spent on a much wider (but still limited) range of possibilities. Spending is thus on projects which most communities would like to spend money anyway. The state match reduces by half the cost of extra spending. Bottom line is that CPA money is worth spending on, if one can afford it. I suggest that individual support for or opposition against the CPA is based largely on one's personal finances. Those who feel they can afford to pay more have compelling reason to support it; those who feel they can't have compelling rea ...
How the Community Preservation Act is good for Arlington
Surcharge of no miore than 3% Money for the fund is raised through a surcharge of no more than 3 percent on the property-tax levy. Massachusetts has set up a fund that is used to partially offset these charges. On average historically, the reimbursement rate has been about 30 percent of the surcharge. After decades of growth and development, residents from across the state began to realize that their communities were rapidly changing and that they needed to do something to protect the resources that made their home towns unique. Some communities wanted to protect open space, some to preserve historic sites and others wanted to ensure affordable housing for their residents. All petitioned the state government for assistance in planning and funding. With so many worthwhile interests competing for limited resources, it took nearly 20 years of on-and-off debate to complete the legislation now known as the Community Preservation Act. The law does four things. It addresses all of the co ...
Long Live Metco, Starks writes
The reason I co-authored the article with Mr. Foskett was to make sure that as we head into the need for future overrides for our schools that we make sure that we are talking about all of the costs that our public schools are asked to take on and that we as a town decide whether to continue to support them or not. As I had hoped, the discussion that has ensued about Metco has been a positive response to keeping the program going. I will continue to work to get more funding for the program and make sure that our legislators know how woefully underfunded it is. But my stance on Metco needing more funding is not a reflection on whether or not I think it is an important program that has a long future here in Arlington. Education itself is woefully underfunded, but you will not find a more passionate advocate for it than those of us who serve on School Committee. This letter was published Friday, April 11, 2014. ...

What are you doing to distract your driving?
According to the latest data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nationwide in 2012, more than 3,328 people were killed in crashes involving distracted drivers, and approximately 421,000 people were injured. Massachusetts law makes it illegal for any operator of a motor vehicle to use a mobile telephone, or any handheld device capable of accessing the internet, to manually compose, send or read an electronic message while operating a motor vehicle. Fines start at $100 and can be as high as $500 for subsequent offenses. Drivers younger than 18 are also subject to license or permit suspension for as long as one year. "All motorists need to know that Massachusetts is serious about stopping this deadly behavior," Ryan said. "Driving and texting has reached epidemic levels, and enforcing the law is part of the cure." This news release was published Tuesday, April 8, 2014. ...

Vote steers Arlington clear of change
Contrary to my general opinion that the outcome of the election reflects fear, fresh-face Jennifer Susse was elected to the School Committee with the highest vote total. Stephen Gilligan was reelected treasurer by 139 votes, hardly an endorsement. Still, overall, I think voters -- the few (20.08 percent) who decided to delay 15 minutes of shopping and turn out -- erred on the side of caution and cast votes for what they knew. The same cautious attitude may have lurked behind Precinct 7 voters' rejection of two outspoken incumbent Town Meeting members -- Chris Loreti and Mark Kaepplein. Loreti, a close follower of town business, was dropped from the Redevelopment Board in 2011. His often-technical arguments on the floor of Town Meeting are well known. Kaepplein is a longtime critic of the Mass. Ave. Corridor project and is noted for his anticycling views. Unlike Loreti, his public opinions often seem scattershot. I do not place both men in the same boat exactly, but I think Town ...
Two modest proposals for after the election
Suggestions for renaming First: Let's rename the Board of Selectmen to the "Select Board." Second: Let's rename the Town Meeting to "Representative Town Meeting." As a relatively new resident of Arlington, having moved here only four years ago, I don't know if these two ideas that gnaw at me have been debated before in the town. If they have, it's a marvel that the Arlington I have come to know wouldn't have moved sooner to address deficiencies I see in naming our chief town governance structures. The New England tradition of town meetings and "select men" elected to manage town affairs between meetings of the town citizenry is well documented. From Maine to Connecticut, town meetings and select men have run affairs of New England towns for centuries. But in Connecticut, where I grew up, the towns that grew in population and abandoned the town meeting because it became unwieldy often replaced it with elected leaders who sit in what's usually a "Representative Town Meeting." My h ...
A question of vision: Now what?
But today, Vision 2020 is facing some big questions, the biggest of which is, "What's our purpose now?" Clearly, the organization is still functioning, but is having trouble drawing enough citizen commitment to keep working as it was intended. Just go to the website, arlington2020.org, and one of the first things you see is this statement, "Most of the material here, except for the Reservoir and Fiscal subsites, is a couple of years out of date." Hmmm. Not very visionary, I guess. I'm not blaming anyone for this, either those involved in Vision 2020 or any members of the public. I think most people involved have put in an honest and sincere effort. And the public can't be blamed for putting their attention elsewhere these days. After all, with the year 2020 itself approaching, the very idea of having a long-range vision for the town by 2020 is not as compelling as it once was. Instead, I think we are now in a position to take some very bold steps, almost as bold as the steps we too ...

Austin >Food & Dining > Jardin Corona Mexican Food
13233 Pond Springs Rd Ste 301, Austin, TX | Directions 7872930.446419 -97.778953
Mon. - Sat. 7am - 10pm;Sun. 8am - 9pm
Eh... – The margaritas are ok. They have enough booze in them to make them passable... but are really sweet.
Tonight was our first time eating there.
I ordered the Spinach Enchiladas.
The "sour cream sauce" was Velveeta with a scoop of sour cream on top, and the spinach was from a can.
The refried beans were also from a can.
Not the worst I've ever had, but I doubt if we'll go back.
cant beat it – Great nachos and tortilla soup.. And carnitas that are incredible Took a buddy from west texas and he said it was the best hed ever had.
Super drinks, average food – Their top shelf margaritas are loaded! Their Mexican martinis are as well. Food is nothing special, but that doesn't matter when you are drinking great ritas.
Get crowded a lot, and the space is small.
One of my favorites – I love this neighborhood place. I go there for breakfast tacos frequently, and even the dinners are really good at a low price. Staff is exceptionally friendly.
Tasty Place – Great Hot Sauce, fast service, decent portions for the price. Come as you are, definitly not upscale. Furniture is sticky, a good cleaning would be nice
Great Service - Good Tex-mex – We've been doing Jardine's a couple of times per month for the last year or so...always great service and rarely disappointed with the meals. Try the tequila chicken (it's also the Tuesday lunch special) or beef fajitas...always good. The tacos are a little bland as are the basic enchiladas. Hot sauce and chips are good...Margaritas are average...beer is cold! The service is always good, fast, efficient, attentive. Usually a wait during busy times only.
Great Mexican Food! – If you want to go to a place that has great Mexican food that's cheap, this is it! It's been around for a while, and the food is awesome. I recommend the enchiladas blancas.
THAT'S NOT CHICKEN!!!!!! – I have no idea what people in Austin are thinking sometimes. I absolutely HATE this place. I have read other reviews and everyone mentions the Margaritas. Well I guess after getting drunk on cheap alcohol ANYTHING will taste pretty good. The food is bland and prepared poorly. A friend of mine ordered chicken sour cream enchiladas and went for a bite and pulled out something resembling an organ (human or chicken is yet to be determined) from the tortilla!!! I dunno Austin... I think we have a problem... My co-workers eat there all the time and coming from Dallas where there is AWESOME Mexican food I'm thinking they have NO IDEA what they're missing... IDIOTS!!!!!
I can't say enough good things about Jardin Corona – I live close to Jardin Corona and go there at least once a week. The food is always fresh and the drinks are some of the best I've had. My fiancee picks Mexican restaurants for their salsa and she loves the salsa at Jardin.
I have not had a meal there that I have not liked.
Recommended – This is a good restaurant for casual dining. The mixed fajitas for one is not only tasty but feeds two. Their queso is the best. The prices are low and margaritas are great. I recommend the top shelf Grande. Definitely better than Chuy's. Some servers are slower than others but the food makes up for it. Love it!

Burkholder was selected Player of the Week, and Hall was chosen Rookie of the Week following a four-day period in which the Dukes posted wins at George Mason and Hofstra. JMU won 71-55 at Mason on Jan. 24 and took an 85-62 home victory over Hofstra on Jan. 27. The Dukes extended their win streak to five games, improved their record to 12-7 and moved into a tie for second place in the CAA standings with a 6-1 league record.
Burkholder tied with Hall for game scoring honors with 20 points at George Mason and also handed out three assists and had two steals. She topped that with a career-high and game-high 28 points against Hofstra. She also had a team-high eight rebounds, an assist and two steals vs. the Pride.
She shot 61 percent (14-23) from the field, 73 percent (8-11) from 3-point range and 86 percent (12-14) from the foul line in last week's games.
Hall's 20 points at Mason was a career-high, and she set a JMU freshman record with seven steals vs. the Patriots. She also had six rebounds and three assists in the Mason game. Hall turned in a 16-point, five-rebound performance against Hofstra.
In last week's games Hall shot 50 percent (12-24) from the field and made 36 percent (4-11) of her 3-point attempts and 80 percent (8-10) of her free-throw tries.
Burkholder earned the CAA honor for the second time, and Hall received her fourth rookie honor of the year.
JMU is on the road this week for games at Towson on Jan. 31 and at William and Mary on Feb. 3.

NOTRE DAME - The Warren Golf Course at Notre Dame has been recognized as one of the best values among public courses in the United States.
Matt Ginella, travel expert for the Golf Channel unveiled a list of the ten best golf courses in the United States based on value.Ginella defines value as "price of the course compared to others in the area, and the experience that you get based on architecture, conditioning, pace of play and (the ability to) walk."
The Warren was the fourth course on Ginella's list of value courses.
"Beautiful, playable and affordable," Ginella said to summarize the course. He noted that the Warren has played host to several prestigious tournaments including the US Women's Amateur Public Links (WAPL) in 2010 as well as several NCAA regionals.
The Warren Golf Course opened in 1999, designed and built Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw. "If you know anything about Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, you know that they don't build a bad golf course", Ginella says. "You can't help but say that this is great value."
"It is an honor to be recognized nationally by the Golf Channel," Warren general manager and head professional John Foster says.
"We have always felt that the Warren Course was a great value given the course design, the meticulous conditioning and high level of guest services we provide."
Recently, the Warren was recognized as the sixth best course in Indiana and the 10th best collegiate golf course in lists by GolfWeek Magazine.
Foster adds, "One of the most frequent comments we receive from out-of-town guests is 'if this course were in the Chicago area, it would be at least $200 to play'. It is nice to hear that the people at Golf Channel feel the same way."
The course is open to the general public and can be played for as little as $25 per round.
Coronado Golf Club (San Diego), Wachusett Country Club (West Boylston, MA), Peninsula Golf Resort (Lancaster, KY) and the Highlands (Elgin, IL) round out the first five courses unveiled as the being the best value.

Home Demolition Costs in Detroit Exceed Property's Value in Many Cases

In Detroit, a city littered with the ruins of abandoned homes, the cost of demolishing beat-down properties, in many cases, is more than the homes themselves are worth.

TORONTO – There was an unmistakable and perhaps surprising air of calm at Leafs practice on Friday afternoon and perhaps Clarke MacArthur had the reason why.
"We were plummeting last year and searching," he said of the team's collapse from a playoff position a year ago, "and this year, we know what needs to be done."
Currently mired in a season-long, four-game winless skid, the Leafs do not present themselves as a group that has triggered any hint of alarm.
"We've had a few losses," MacArthur continued, "but we've stuck to it, we've competed. So at the end of the day, things are going to turn around for us. We've got to know and we've got to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel in here. We've got a good hockey team. It's going to be about managing the stress level that comes in the city. The pressure's on alright. We've got to do something this year. But that's where we come back to our team structure and depend on that."
Save for an ugly Tuesday drubbing in Winnipeg, the Leafs have not played poorly. Three of the four defeats they suffered were close one-goal battles opposite a pair of Eastern heavyweights – Boston and Pittsburgh twice – quality opponents that pounced on their most prominent mistakes. Thursday offered the most stinging example. Cruising to victory at home against the Penguins, the Leafs fumbled their 1-0 lead with a handful of errors and lost in the final minutes.
"We evaluate our game overall and it was pretty good," Jay McClement said of an effort which saw his team locked into an effective approach for 53 minutes, "but we just have to realize the difference between winning and losing can be a shift here or a shift there and that's what it was. You look back and evaluate the game and we have to try to take those positives from 95 per cent of the game. It's just those little mistakes against good teams, obviously they jumped on them and it cost us the game." Silver linings aside, the Leafs, like all teams in the playoff tussle, can ill afford a lengthy slide.
Vastly improved in the loss to Pittsburgh, recent defensive issues will have to continue to be ironed out. Goaltending from the one-two punch of James Reimer and Ben Scrivens could certainly stand to improve. And greater balance to an inconsistent offensive attack – they've scored two or fewer goals in three of the four losses – is needed, an area that will be helped with the imminent return of Joffrey Lupul, who declared himself fit to return against the Jets on Saturday. "We have to keep playing the system and keep playing the style and you've got to just believe that it's going to flip around and you're going to win three or four in a row and erase all this," MacArthur said.
Despite the rocky patch, Randy Carlyle has urged his team to adhere to the structure which allowed an early, and perhaps unlikely, climb into a playoff position – seventh in the East with 31 points. His approach, ahead of a critical tilt against Winnipeg, appeared more cool and even-keeled than anything else. At one point in Friday's practice, he halted a drill mid-stream, gathered all 14 forwards before calmly addressing the group. "What we've tried to do is we've tried to point out the positives," he said afterward. "We're going to have to correct some of the negatives that are taking place on the ice, but overall, we did a lot more good things than we did bad things and we still gave ourselves a chance.
"The bottom line is, if we can continue to push for a higher level of play and some individual efforts, we'll be alright as long as we continue to work hard and stay with it."

Our History
As an entrepreneur for over 30 years, Boku Kodama was convinced that entrepreneurship would help those in the inner cities to realize their goal of economic and social sustainability. Having come from poor economic beginnings, Boku knew the hardships of living in a low-income urban community. When he sold his high tech company in 1995, he went on a mission to bring entrepreneurship training to those he believed would gain the most benefit from its lessons.
Overall, he created 10 for profit businesses and four nonprofits and continues to work on new ventures including Urban FIRE, an acronym for Financial Intelligence, Responsible Entrepreneurship. Since 1997, the training has evolved through never-ending research and curriculum development. It has gained national attention for its unique, holistic approach to business and personal development. It continues to evolve today and will continue in the future.

FoEI groups demand climate justice in bangkok
Friends of the Earth International is demonstrating with thousands of Asian and international climate justice activists and representatives of affected communities in Bangkok, Thailand. Steph Long, climate coordinator, writes from Bangkok.
Our civil society debates, demonstrations and forums coincide with the UN climate talks - the fourth gathering of the year in preparation to the climate summit in Copenhagen this December.
The civil society program has included daily mobilisations demanding the repayment of the climate debt, the exclusion of the World Bank and other international financial institutions from climate finance, and the rights of indigenous peoples, fisherfolk and women to be protected.
The forums have focussed on articulating how we can achieve climate justice - real solutions to climate change that don't risk either people or the planet.
official talks
Meanwhile the official climate talks have been significantly undermined by the regressive position of wealthy industrialised countries, particularly the US, who are failing to meet their obligations to accept emissions reduction targets and financing for developing countries in line with what science requires.
This is wearing thin the patience of many developing countries who are now questioning whether an agreement in Copenhagen is possible with such limited political will of the developed countries.

AUSTIN -- During flu season doctors urge you to take precautions not to catch the flu, especially since there is no cure for the virus.
They advise avoiding malls, movie theaters and any other places that you might come into close contact with others.
"When someone sneezes, those germs travel 10 to 20 feet," Emergency Room Medical Director at Scott & White Health Care in Round Rock Dr. Ross Tobleman said.
He says they're still seeing between 10 and 20 people a day with flu-like symptoms.
On Friday the Austin/Travis County Health and Human Services Department released their latest report on the flu.
A map of Texas shows where both strains of influenza, type A and B, have been reported.
"This year the flu shot strain for Influenza A was right on the money. H3N2 and it's a great match," Dr. Tobleman said.
As for type B, he says it's about a 60 to 70 percent match.
He says Tami Flu is available, but he doesn't recommend it to all his patients.
If you're a healthy person, Dr. Tobleman says the best treatment is to drink fluids, rest and take Tylenol. He also says patients should stay home and rest until they get better.
For those who want to treat symptoms the homeopathic way, he suggests Vitamin C, Echinancea and Zinc.
The Wellness Department at People's Pharmacy says if you've been throwing up or have diarrhea, probiotics can help calm your stomach. They also suggest trying elderberry, an anti-viral product, and resting. You should also drink plenty of water and eat a nutrient dense diet.
Flu symptoms usually last from five to seven days. Then it takes another three to five days to get back to 100 percent.

Texas Man Kills & Eats Family Dog.. Zombie Style!
Description: 'Michael Terron Daniel, 22, of Waco, was in custody Monday charged with cruelty to a non-livestock animal in a bizarre incident on June 14 when a man who claimed to be on the synthetic drug K-2 chased a neighbor while barking a growling like a dog and then attacked a family dog, which he beat, strangled and then started to eat. Daniel was arrested Monday at his workplace without incident, police said. The arrest stems from an incident on June 14 at 4601 Athens in Waco where officers were sent after a caller reported that a man was "going crazy." The man, who evidently assaulted several people at the home and told them he "was on a bad trip from ingesting K-2," got down "on his hands and knees and chased a neighbor while barking and growling like a dog," according to witnesses

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
Methotrexate is used alone or together with other medicines to treat several types of cancer such as breast, head and neck, lung, blood, bone, lymph node, and uterus cancers.
Methotrexate is used to treat adults with severe rheumatoid arthritis and children with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis who had other treatments that did not work well. It is also used to control symptoms of severe psoriasis in adults who have not been helped by other treatments.
Methotrexate belongs to the group of medicines known as antineoplastics (cancer medicines). It blocks an enzyme that is needed by cells to live. This interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed by the body. For patients with arthritis or psoriasis, methotrexate may work by improving the immune system.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although these uses are not included in product labeling, methotrexate is used in certain patients with the following medical conditions:

Israel Grapples With Influx of Africans as Tensions Grow
Posted on Mon, Jul 09, 2012 at 17:55 pm
The Wall Street Journal this weekend covered the ongoing efforts by the Israeli government to round up and repatriate South Sudanese migrants.
Comments (1)
Posted by Doris on December 24, 2012 at 9:43 am
Funny but I live in a South American country LEGALLY, would not have it any other way, and am mrieard to a citizen so, I speak from both sides of the argument.When I lived in The States I had many immigrant friends, hired immigrants and treated them the same as a citizen employee. If they preformed better they got paid better et cetera. Most Americans, like myself, are open to helping immigrants along.But now that I live here, I find that there are all sorts of societal imposed restrictions on what I am allowed to do. I even have friends who have been threatened with death, It will be very dangerous for you to continue , if they continued to work in certain fields.I no longer feel pity for what I have learned the majority of are Illegal Immigrants what so ever. In fact upon my return to The States I intend to report every one that I meet and drive any that I encounter in work situations from their jobs. I may even resort to telling them It will be very dangerous for you to continue After all what is good for the goose is good for the gander, No?

Report: Liverpool consider Sturridge move
Chelsea are prepared to part ways with Daniel Sturridge if a club meets his 20 million pound price tag.
By ESPNSTAR.com staff
The Englishman has not started a single game for Chelsea this season, and sources close to Sturridge indicate that the striker is unsurprisingly keen to leave Stamford Bridge in search of regular playing time.
According to the Daily Express, the Blues are willing to let Sturridge go for 20 million pounds, with Liverpool and Tottenham leading the list of possible destinations.
Having worked with Sturridge from their days at Chelsea, Brendan Rodgers and Andres Villas-Boas have both made enquiries about the player's availability.
The Reds failed in their proposed loan bid to bring Sturridge to Anfield in the summer, as the attacker was seeking a permanent transfer. Such a move is likely to take place in January as Fabio Borini's recent injury has left Rodgers with only one recognized striker in Luis Suarez.
While Sturridge's departure would leave Roberto Di Matteo's squad light on options upfront, the Blues are expected to compensate for the 23-year old's move by bidding for Atletico Madrid's Radamel Falcao. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has approved a 46 million Euro bid for Falcao, though the club are also keeping tabs on Marseille's Loic Remy and Bayer Leverkusen's Andre Schurrle.
