"Designing the High Line" Exhibition and Winners
The response to "Designing the High Line," our open, international ideas competition was tremendous. 720 people from 38 countries contributed their ideas, dreams, and visions for the High Line. The entries ranged from the highly practical to the purely visionary. The jury selected some of the most thought-provoking ideas. The winners, along with other interesting entries and a video about the High Line, will be on display in a large-scale exhibition at Grand Central Terminal's Vanderbilt Hall from July 10-26.
In addition to collecting comments at the exhibition, Friends of the High Line will hold a series of open community workshops beginning in September, with a variety of the competition proposals serving as springboards for discussion. At the end of 2003, Friends of the High Line will incorporate the community's comments into a Request for Proposals, which will lead to the development of realizable designs for the High Line's reuse as public open space.

Design Competition Update
: April 25 Registration Deadline: Register now (and avoid late fees) for Designing the High Line, FHL's open, international ideas competition. Registration deadline: April 25. Submission deadline: May 23. For registration and competition materials, go to
Trespassing Warning
: There has recently been an increase in illegal trespassing on the High Line. Many people have been issued tickets and summons — we have even heard reports of arrests. We urge you in the strongest terms not to trespass. FHL does not control access to the Line, which is private property, owned and managed by CSX Corporation. Accessing the Line without CSX permission is illegal. Unfortunately, we cannot offer tours to individuals, student groups, or those entering the design competition. Trespassing on the Line threatens FHL's working relationship with CSX, which in turn may threaten our long-term ability to open the Line to full and complete public access. Help us save the High Line and open it to the public: Don't trespass.
New Materials on Website
: A selection of High Line photos has been added to the competition website for reference and use in design competition entries. Also, an inventory of existing plant life on the High Line, compiled by Scott D. Appell, a taxonomist from the Horticultural Society of New York, has been added. Go to the "Resources" section of the competition website at

Obama's Commerce Nominee: Cap and Trade Good for 'Hiding' Carbon Taxes
John Bryson, President Obama's nominee to head the Commerce Department, told a University of California Berkeley audience in 2010 that a cap and trade system was a good way to hide a carbon tax from the public.
Bryson, formerly the CEO of Edison International, said that a carbon tax was the new "third rail" of politics because politicians wouldn't want to tax energy directly.
"I think it's still unlikely there'll be a carbon tax bill because I think in the end a very high percentage of the members of Congress think it's kind of the third rail to support a tax, even if it's a carbon tax," Bryson said.
"Greenhouse gas legislation, either with a tax or with cap and trade – which is a more complicated way of getting at it but it has the advantage of politically sort of hiding the fact that you have a tax – but that's what you're trying to do," he added.
Bryson said that carbon taxes – whether open or hidden in a cap and trade regime – were still not the best way to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gasses. The best way, he said, was a robust system of regulations that penalized energy producers for producing more energy than the government deemed necessary.
"In the great debate between economists and others about whether we ought to be proceeding primarily with market signals or regulatory steps, I believe we ought to do both," He said. "But the regulatory steps act right now [with] immediate requirements."
Bryson explained that setting high targets for renewable energy production was the best way to go, rather than waiting for a carbon tax to take effect in the market.
"At our company [Edison International] for example we have quite a large wind energy business across the United States – the drivers are the portfolio standards, the renewable portfolio standards, those are mandates – it's like the investor-owned utilities in California – 33 percent [renewables] by 2020. That's a driver. You're not messing around with what's the price signal going to be. If you don't get that done, you get penalized in a big way."
Bryson was explaining how regulations that force energy companies to adopt a certain amount of green energy worked faster and more directly than policies like a carbon tax or a cap and trade system.
With a carbon tax or cap and trade regime, the government simply tries to put a price on carbon emissions, under the assumption that utility companies will begin producing more green energy because it isn't affected by the tax or the carbon caps. With regulation, the government simply sets the amount of renewable energy a company must produce, rather than trying to nudge the companies to do it.

that Senate Rs put this guy through the grinder and expose his blatant socialism.
For our resident libs, "socialism" is not a baseless pejorative, nor an ad hominem attack. The exercise of state control over the means of production (i.e., central planning) is one of the hallmarks of a socialist state.
Now, the fact that Bryson thinks it's just hunky-dory to engage in obfuscatory tactics in order to achieve his political ends--that just makes him a low-down, cowardly, back-stabbing snake. "Obama guy" is useful shorthand.

Senate RINOs like McCain and Graham are going to make it near impossible to filibuster his nomination. And even if that happens, Red Reid will simply let Obama put this guy in with a recess appointment.
Progressives seem to be completely averse to facts and logic. Apparently, reality has a conservative bias.

From the Wall Street Journal: Secretary Of Subsidy
- "President Obama nominated John Bryson to head the Commerce Department on Tuesday, praising the Californian as "a business leader who understands what it takes to innovate, create jobs and to persevere through tough times." That's one way of describing someone with a talent for scoring government subsidies."
The rest of the short article outlines the failures Byron's leadership accrued. The right man for the job, Byron will continue the destruction of our economy as envisioned by the Left.
Did anyone truly believe Obama would nominate someone not supportive of "foundational" change?

So Greedy!
Submitted by CobraMan on Thu, 06/02/2011 - 2:15pm.
It's amazing, to me anyways, that the Liberals are proposing the "regulation" of "greenhouse gasses" in a way that generates MONEY for one cause or another. Whether it is via taxes, which generates revenue for the federal government, or "cap and trade,' which generates revenue for some "official" trading company (insurance exchange, anyone?), all they seem interested in is profiting from "emissions" which doesn't actually LIMIT them! Be honest with us: you don't care about actually limiting emissions, you simple want to PROFIT from them!
Just as is evident with the "insurance exchange" of their health care "reform," all they are interested in is making money, money which THEY can control. And they call Conservatives greedy! What a bunch of fricken hypocrites!

Cranberry Sorbet Recipe
This sorbet's sweet-tart taste is so refreshing after a hearty meal. My mother made a batch at least once a year, either for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 2-1/4 cups water, divided
- 4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups ginger ale, chilled
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup water; set aside. In a large saucepan, bring cranberries and remaining water to a boil. Reduce heat; cook until berries pop. Remove from the heat; press cranberries through a sieve or food mill, reserving juice. Discard pulp.
- In a large bowl, combine the warm juice, gelatin and sugar until dissolved. Cool to room temperature. Stir in ginger ale.
- Pour into a freezer-proof bowl; cover and place in the freezer until mixture is partially frozen. Beat with an electric mixer until light in color. Cover and freeze overnight. Yield: 12 servings.

The Phase 2 Project:
In an attempt to minimize disruption to the community of Alpine, the County recently tried to advance the second phase of streetscape improvements including missing curb, gutter, sidewalk and associated drainage prior to the paving of the downtown Alpine area. Subsequent discovery of steep increases in estimated costs, duration and significant impacts to the community make it extremely difficult and imprudent for this project to go forward as planned at this time.
Paving Now
Instead, Alpine Boulevard has been paved from Tavern Road to South Grade. Completing this paving project will hopefully allow a return to normal traffic flow for the residents and businesses of Alpine. With paving complete, staff will have opportunity to evaluate alternative designs in an attempt to reduce the construction cost and schedule of the Phase 2 improvements and its associated drainage, and to minimize traffic impacts and inconvenience to the Alpine community for these future improvements. The County is still firmly committed to completing the Phase 2 streetscape improvements and anticipates construction in approximately 30 to 36 months.
Paving and Striping are complete:
Alpine Boulevard west of Tavern Road to just west of the Alpine Boulevard / Arnold Way intersection is complete! Striping and street legends are also complete. Additional minor work, such as culvert lining, will be done in the coming weeks.
Updates for future work will be posted on this page and on http://sdcounty.ca.gov/dpw/roads/projects/AlpineBlvd.html as well as on the DPW Facebook page: Facebook.com/SDCountyDPW
We greatly appreciate everyone's patience and understanding in this very important project.
DPW - Working For You
We believe this approach will benefit the community of Alpine by paving the road now while allowing the County adequate time to thoroughly consider Phase 2 drainage design options in order to reduce construction costs and minimize construction impacts to the community.
There will be some disruption during the November 2012 paving operations but measures are being taken to minimize impacts to businesses and residents of the community as well as to provide access at all times during the paving work. A Project Hotline number has been established to answer questions regarding construction. The number is (888) R-O-A-D-W-R-K (762-3975).
Additional updates will be posted on this web site (bookmark it now)

They say rain on your wedding day is the mark of a happy marriage, and if the weather was any indication for Cynthia Riggs and Howard Attebery on Saturday evening, the couple will be together for a very long time.
Janice and Leo Frame teach completely different subjects and their classrooms, located at opposite ends of the Martha's Vineyard Regional High School building, tell the story.
Mrs. Frame's walls are covered in student artwork. Mr. Frame's business classroom is clean, white and gray, and neatly organized. Both the Frames teach elective courses: art and business.
When Martha Smith and her then-boyfriend Charlie began dating 15 years ago, they spent a lot of time at the annual Martha's Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby headquarters at the foot of Main street in Edgartown.
She ran the derby headquarters, two hours in the morning and two hours at night, and coordinated the volunteers. He would watch, stepping in occasionally to help. "I hung out at the derby headquarters to be with her," Mr. Smith said. "I think I was there just about every night."

Grays man to appear in court charged with stealing £15,000 coin
Updated 4:24pm Monday 17th February 2014 in News
A MAN from Grays will appear in court this week accused of stealing a £15,000 coin in Cambridgeshire.
The 51-year-old is also accused of taking a gold Roman coin in Norfolk worth £200 in an offence known as night hawking.
Night hawking is illegal metal-detecting on archaeological sites, or other areas of archaeological interest, and private land in order to recover treasure or other items of value.
It is performed where permission to survey and dig has been refused or never sought.
Essex Police takes a lead in England and Wales on night hawking and have been gathering intelligence on various national targets.
In April last year, officers were contacted by the British Museum who reported a suspected case of someone failing to declare treasure under the Treasure Act.
The following month officers seized the coins following search at a property in Grays.
The man will appear in Basildon Magistrates Court on Thursday, February 20 to face the charges.

Thirty four percent of seniors in South Dakota are in danger of going hungry, and imminent sequester cuts may only increase that number.
The sequester cuts will result in a 5.1 percent cut to all non-defense spending, which directly effects senior programs like Meals on Wheels.
Currently, the program feeds 600 people in the Black Hills a day, with a budget of roughly $1 million dollars.
Last year, directors say they had a deficit of $50,000 and had to cut services to Keystone and Hill City. As food and transportation costs go up, directors worry many seniors could go hungry if they receive less funding.
"We can feed a senior for $2,000 a year and you know what nursing homes cost. A lot of seniors who are getting meals, if they weren't getting meals, they would be in nursing homes," said Marcia Murray, Director of Rapid City's Meals On Wheels program.
Murray says they may consider reducing the number of days they deliver meals.

Coach: Valentin Villalobos
Last year: Finished fifth in the Class 1A NWC standings with a conference record of 0-9-3. ... Did not qualify for the postseason, finishing 0-13-3 overall.
Players to watch: Tori VandeHoef (jr., M); Jasmin Zavala (so., M); Jill DeJager (sr., F); Julie Campos (sr., M)
Outlook: It's no secret the Pioneers need to find a way to score goals this year and give up less scores to the opposition. Nooksack Valley scored one time during its final seven matches and surrendered five or more goals nine times. The best way to fix issues on the front and back end may be to strengthen up and middle, and second-year coach Valentin Villalobos has a group he feels can do that. The trio of sophomore Jasmin Zavala, junior Tori VandeHoef and senior Julie Campos gives Villalobos a group of players who should help orchestrate an attack and also be able to help out on defense. "My team is pretty divided," said Villalobos of where his team strength lies. "We have one or two players here and there that are pretty strong. We are pretty strong up front and the middle, it will be OK." VandeHoef, who showed she can score last year, will help up top, and seniors Anna-Lee Hynes and Emilia Lopez and junior Ruth Garcia will be counted on to produce scoring chances. Defensively, Villalobos returns experience. Seniors Sabrina Aase, Sabrina deBont and Brianna Prink will play on the back line, as well as senior Janis DeJager and junior Brittany Passe. "Last year we had hardly any girls to choose from," Villalobos said, "but this year we had a really good turnout. We had just over 30 girls, and that makes a big difference. So far the team is looking good."

Lesli A. Creedon is the Associate Director and Chief Advancement Officer at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C. As head of advancement, Creedon oversees all fundraising initiatives for the Zoo and the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute. Her priorities include the completion of major capital projects at both the Rock Creek and Front Royal, Virginia campuses, including Elephant Trail, American Trail, and the Academic Center, cornerstone of the Smithsonian-Mason School of Conservation.
In addition plans are being developed to bring the beloved giraffe back to the Zoo and renovate the historic Bird House with a new penguin exhibit. Private philanthropy is also key to the Zoo also fulfilling its research mission, and endowment support for its scientific staff is a significant priority for the Advancement Department.
From 2003 to 2007, Creedon served as the executive director of Partnership Development at the United Nations Foundation in Washington, D.C. The foundation mobilizes public and private partnerships to help with global issues including climate change, children's health, peace and security, and poverty eradication. There, Creedon designed, implemented, and led its first fundraising strategy with a focus on international partnering and donations. She worked with UN agencies around the globe and represented the foundation at international conferences and events, cultivating relationships with major corporate, foundation, individual and government donors and partners.
Prior to her employment with the United Nations, Creedon served as the vice president of External Affairs at Resources for the Future, a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization dedicated to energy, environmental and natural resource issues in Washington. A think tank fanatic, Creedon has also held fundraising and communications positions at the Brookings Institution, the Aspen Institute, and the Economic Policy Institute.
Creedon is a graduate of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and serves on the advisory board of its Department of Economics. She is also a member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and the Development Council at ALIVE! (Alexandrians InVolved Ecumenically!) a social service organization.

As the only community college in Stanislaus County that offers a Chemical Dependency Counseling Program, Modesto Junior College can fully prepare students academically to take the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Program's state licensing exam. Once licensed, students can apply their knowledge and expertise to help individuals who are battling addictions.
At their first regular board meeting of the school year, the Denair Unified School District Board of Trustees approved an increase to the daily and long term rate of pay for substitute teachers in hopes of attracting more eligible educators to Denair schools.
University of California, Merced is taking trash collection to the next level by incorporating new high-tech, solar-powered receptacles onto their campus.
Walnut Elementary teacher Bret Sutterly has taken the 'Go Green' message to heart in his classroom and his efforts have been recognized on a national level.
On top of the usual excitement that accompanies going back to school, Denair Unified School District will be hosting two popular motivational speakers with the hope they can give the District the inspiration it needs to kick off the school year.
For California State University, Stanislaus' incoming freshmen, the first day of college is quickly approaching and students may be lacking the guidance they need to have a successful first year. In an effort to enlighten these students, upperclassmen at CSU Stanislaus offer their own experiences and advice in hopes of preparing them just in time for move-in day on Aug. 17.
For many high school students, senior year is a whirlwind of college applications and acceptance letters. However, for many former foster youth who have been emancipated from the State of California's foster care system, the idea of going to college is regarded as less attainable and oftentimes impossible.
The Future Farmers of America chapter at Turlock Christian had a successful turnout at the Stanislaus County Fair last month. Increasing their number of showmen from six to 19 this year, TC FFA showcased a total of 21 animals and brought home a number of awards, including Supreme Champion Market Lamb.
For the ninth year in a row, California State University, Stanislaus has secured a spot in the 2015 edition of the Princeton Review's "The Best 379 Colleges" guide.
This week, United States Representative Jeff Denham supported four House passed bills that will go towards making higher education a more accessible and affordable goal for young students across the nation.
Over the course of six weeks, beginning on Aug. 28, approximately 300 volunteers from the One Purpose fund drive will head out into the community to raise money for California State University, Stanislaus students. The campaign, headed by John and June Rogers, will collect donations and pledges for student success, all of which will go towards scholarships.
Each year, another group of parents or guardians embarks on the difficult, and at times overwhelming, task of preparing their children for kindergarten. To help alleviate the confusion and uncertainty, the Turlock Unified School District and local kindergarten teachers offered advice and emphasized the importance of preparing children early in order to make the transition as smooth as possible.
California State University, Stanislaus has been recognized by a number of publications, such as the Princeton Review and Time magazine, for qualities that emphasize access, affordability and overall education outcomes. This week, it was these attributes that earned the university acclaim from two more prominent financial publications.
Thanks to the recommendation of Superintendent Dr. Sonny H. Da Marto and approval of the Board of Trustees, Turlock Junior High School students can expect to see Robert Ruiz as their new principal for the upcoming school year.
The upcoming school year is right around the corner and the City of Turlock has parents and guardians covered when it comes to an after school program for their children.
University of California, Merced took another step toward environmental stewardship with the opening of its new Science and Engineering 2 Building set for Wednesday.
Stanislaus Military Academy has made the administrative decision this year to shift its focus towards academic quality by decreasing class sizes, implementing class periods, and increasing educational instruction.
At their first scheduled meeting of the school year, the Turlock Unified School District Board of Trustees established new policies and policy changes to increase overall student success, one of which will push back exclusionary discipline practices, such as suspension, in favor of positive interventions to correct misbehaving students.
In order to fully prepare students for college, Turlock High School is now offering more Advanced Placement courses than ever.
Approximately 9,000 students converged at California State University, Stanislaus for the first day of classes Thursday and throughout the campus, from faculty to administration to knowledgeable seniors and excited freshmen, all had high expectations for the upcoming school year.
In its annual "Condition of College & Career Readiness" report released today, ACT found that California students taking the organization's college readiness test surpassed the nation's scores in English, reading, math, and science. The ACT assessment, which is administered to high school students, serves as a good indicator of how much a student is academically prepared to pursue a postsecondary education.
For approximately 14,000 students throughout the Turlock Unified School District, the start of the new school year officially kicked off on Monday. At Brown Elementary, students, parents, and guardians alike shared the same optimistic vision and hopes for the upcoming school year.

PLATTSBURGH — Kevin John Nason, 48, of Plattsburgh, N.Y., and formerly of Burke, N.Y., passed away unexpectedly Sunday, Oct. 13, 2013, at his home.
Born in Malone, N.Y., Oct. 22, 1964, he is the son of Albert H. and Linda L. Tucker Nason. He graduated from Franklin Academy High School, in Malone, and took many engineering courses on line. He served in the U.S. Marines from 1983 until his discharge in 1986.
Many years ago, Kevin was employed by Atlantic Design in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., as a graphic designer and later by Camoplast, in Plattsburgh, as a technician adviser. For ten years, Kevin was employed by Bombardier Corporation in Plattsburgh, as a supervisor. He was later employed by IBM, in Burlington, Vt., as a computer operator. He enjoyed fishing, drawing, painting, writing poetry and collecting coins. He was an avid Green Bay Packers and New York Yankee fan, and enjoyed restoring his Corvette. Kevin had a great sense of humor and always had a joke on the tip of his tongue.
Survivors include his parents, Albert and Linda Nason of Burke; one son, Matthew Nason of Nev.; four sisters and two brothers in-law, Tammy and Francis Enryck of Beverly Hills, Fla., Lynn Lord of Morrisonville, N.Y., Donna Nason of Malone and Denise and Joseph Trimboli of Massena, N.Y., and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
Calling hours will be from 9 to 11 a.m. Monday from the Bruso-Desnoyers Funeral Home in Malone. A Funeral Service will be held at 11 a.m. in the funeral home chapel.
Donations may be made in his memory to the Burke Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad.
Arrangements are through the Bruso-Desnoyers Funeral Service, Inc. of Malone, N.Y.

Dr. Loshaek was known as a brilliant inventor who had a remarkable ability to focus on the essentials and to analyze all possible outcomes and then choose the best one. He held 40 patents and led research and development teams at Borden Chemical and Wesley-Jessen, for which he invented an unsurpassed soft-colored contact lens that changed eye color and catapulted the company to a major position in the industry.
Dr. Loshaek was a lifelong avid tennis player. He loved music, especially the Motown oldies. He is remembered for his clever, dry wit and sunny smile that lit up his entire face, along with his kindness, generosity, integrity, caring presence, wisdom and loving advice.
Dr. Loshaek is survived by his wife of 32 years, Risé; four daughters; five grandchildren; one great-granddaughter; a sister; four sisters-in-law; and many nieces and nephews.
A private memorial service will be held. In lieu of flowers, donate to your favorite charity.
