KGNU/BBC Panel Discussion on Climate Change in Boulder
The panel will feature prominent climate change experts Peter Backlund, Caspar Ammann and Lawrence Buka from NCAR and Roger Pielke Jr. from the University of Colorado. Journalist Leslie Dodson from KGNU's program How On Earth will join them to discuss the science behind climate change and the importance of conveying its urgency to governments and the public at large. The panel will also take questions from the audience.
The event will begin at 7 p.m. at Unity of Boulder, located at 2455 Folsom St. Admission is free. Call KGNU's Denver studio at 303-825- 5468 for more information.
Note: If it is recorded and online I'll follow up with a second post.

The occasion may give Roger Junior an opportunity to disseminate an intellectual vaccination against alarmism, and to make a call for a more sensible discussion on this important issue. I do not know whether the issue of science credibility would arise, but it also has the potential for valuable interventions by Roger Jr.
ReplyDeleteQuite a coup, Roger. You seem very friendly with the BBC. I'm sure it will be broadcast. I can record the audio when it is.
"to discuss the science behind climate change and the importance of conveying its urgency to governments and the public at large. "
Sounds like a typical BBC set up to me. I'll reserve judgement until it happens obviously, but the BBC is the biggest and smartest media organisation on earth. Funded by a government mandated license fee.Hector M.
I am sure Roger will do exactly that, and do it very well. However, the producer and his researchers will be aware of the full range of his views on decarbonisation.
I emailed a famous BBC producer a year ago, objecting to a very clever government backed stitch up on an issue that has been discussed on this forum. He asked to interview me for a follow up programme.
I should have said no, but it was done in a challenging way. I deliberately set parameters I suspected he wouldn't agree to, because even I (with no television) know his work. There is no way I would ever contribute to it . BBC producers are very smart people.Hector M writes "I do not know whether the issue of science credibility would arise, but it also has the potential for valuable interventions by Roger Jr."
Perhaps. But what about engaging other criticism too? There's no sign of it from the panel chosen.
From the floor - if questions are entertained - I would ask: when are you going to use multiple hypothesis testing, enforce open sharing of data and methods so that replication can be done, and error correction so that you can honestly tell the skeptics that the science stands up against substantive criticism.

California state attorneys' union approves contract offered by Jerry Brown
Members of California's state legal corps have approved a labor contract with Gov. Jerry Brown, their union has told members in an email.
With approximately two-thirds of eligible members voting, 82 percent agreed to take the three-year deal, according to California Attorneys, Administrative Law Judges said Hearing Officers in State Employment. The union represents roughly 3,500 legal professionals.
Not long after CASE announced member voting results, lawmakers on Friday approved a bill that allocates at total $18.1 million to cover raises and other increased compensation costs in contracts bargained with the attorneys union ($12.6 million), the state scientists union ($3.1 million) and state building operators ($2.4 million).
The same measure, Senate Bill 879, sets aside $10.2 million for a 4 percent state fire-fighter raise that kicks in Jan. 1.
The scientists' union sent out ratification ballots last week and will count them on Sept. 11. The building operators' union will count ballots on Sept. 15. Members of both unions rejected a previous tentative agreement with the Brown administration.

Would you like to go for a walk? How about in Kiev, Ukraine in a place called Andrews Descent? Recently reopened, photographer Elektraua shot photos of the place which is often described as the "Montmartre of Kiev", using infrared film.
The leaves on the trees glow a vibrant white, statues and architecture stand out from the buildings on the path. After the new paving and reconstruction, the historical street, which used to serve as a trade center and home to many museums and stores, is looking very beautiful now. The path leads up to the old St. Andrews church on the top of the hill.
A place of legend, history and culture, Elektraua depicts stunning shots of the famous street.

very tasty dishes
Posted on 08 / 25 / 2014I visited this place with three friends. We all really enjoyed the meal and the staff was very friendly. It was one of the best vegan dishes I ever ate. But the preperation of our maincourse took more than an hour and that was really hard because we were really hungry. ;)
I really liked the atmosphere, the big wooden tables and the people around us. They have a little but nice kids playing area.
Cons: long time of waiting

I love that my tax money is going towards this….NOT! if this isnt the most stupidest sh*t Ive heard, people are struggling here in America and this dude has the right to use our money to pay for them to fight each other! GTFOH! You know at one point in time we actually gave money to the Taliban to fight the Russians!? Im seriously dumbfounded by this. Im half tempted to write a letter to the president myself.
This is the most absurd thing ive ever heard. I cant believe tax payers money is actually being used to follow through with this. Sadly they are right if it was a boy/girl couple it wouldn't be an issue. This is just ridiculous.
It shouldnt matter if it was only 10 people who seen the pictures. It shouldnt have happened and there sure in hell shouldnt of been pics of it to begin with. Viral doesnt include a specific number of people seeing an image, to me 10 people is a lot and knowing what they were lookinh at they should of come forward before. Who would seriously investigate and try and debunk something so stupid. A young girl lost her life because three boys and a group of people are morons. Our society is such a joke. Seriously a sick sick joke.
Lol i was sooo angry i yelled my husband was like whats wrong!? Im like how do they end like that and now i have to wait 3 months! I even made a post on FB about how mad i was! NBC how could you do that!? NOOOO!
This makes me glad i dont drink so i dont have to deal with the bartenders…btw i use to bartend and i dont agree with this at all. Fail.

Damn dirty songs but some good ones :) bringing it back!
The orange chick is hurting my eyes. Literally i had to keep scrolling my head hurts now.
Not to sound like a cliche but once your in the system your always in the system. You can work hard to change your life around 360� but there will always be that side of the law that considers you a horrible person for the mistakes you've made in the past and want to bring you down again. Trust me.
Wheres the fago?

Back in 1995, Congress balked at the Clinton Administration's $40-billion rescue plan for then-troubled Mexico so the administration turned to an obscure kitty known as the Exchange Stabilization Fund to offer Mexico up to $20 billion in loans and loan guarantees. Faced with a domestic financial crisis, the Bush Treasury is now turning to the fund to offer temporary insurance to investors in money-market mutual funds.
The Fund, which now amounts to $50 billion, was created in 1934 to conduct interventions in foreign exchange markets. The enabling statute gives the president and Treasury secretary enormous latitude to act without prior consent of Congress. As amended in the late 1970s, according to the Treasury the law says, "Consistent with the obligations of the Government in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on orderly exchange arrangements and an orderly system of exchange rates, the Secretary …, with the approval of the President, may deal in gold, foreign exchange, and other instruments of credit and securities." The law limits terms of loans from the fund to six months unless the president notifies Congress that there are "unique or emergency circumstances."
In 1995, top Republican leaders of Congress, Sen. Bob Dole and Rep. Newt Gingrich, backed the Mexico maneuver, as did then-Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan. But other members of Congress protested loudly (though impotently). "It clearly violates the intent of the Constitution … that Congress appropriate the money," said Sen. Hank Brown (R., Colo.), who said he anticipates hearings into the president's use of the fund. "What the president did is simply bypass the need to have real security [for the loans] or real reform [in Mexico]. I think it's a huge mistake."
The Fund was created by the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, and used over the years for a variety of credit deals with foreign governments and central banks. Historically, U.S. intervention in foreign exchange markets — which happens rarely these days — has been jointly financed by the ESF and the Federal Reserve. The late Rep. Henry Gonzalez once called it a "$25 billion slush fund that lacks accountability" and proposed stripping the Treasury its authority to intervene in foreign exchange markets.
The ESF, as of the end of August, had $49.966 billion in assets –- including euro, yen, U.S. government securities and Special Drawing Rights, a quasi-currency issued by the International Monetary Fund. –David Wessel

Determination of the volcanostratigraphy of oceanic crust formed at superfast spreading ridge: electrofacies analyses of ODP/IODP Hole 1256D
Tominaga, Masako, Teagle, Damon A. H., Alt, Jeffrey C. and Umino, Susumu (2009) Determination of the volcanostratigraphy of oceanic crust formed at superfast spreading ridge: electrofacies analyses of ODP/IODP Hole 1256D. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems (Online), 10, Q01003. (doi:10.1029/2008GC002143).
Full text not available from this repository.
The objective of this study is to construct a representative volcanostratigraphy of Ocean Drilling Program Hole 1256D, the first complete penetration of intact upper oceanic crust formed at a superfast spreading rate. An accurate knowledge of the volcanostratigraphy is vital to understand processes of crustal construction and submarine magmatism and to estimate chemical exchange with seawater, but this is rarely achieved due to very low recovery rates in most basement holes. We used two approaches to determine the rock types that form the wall rocks in the basement sections of Hole 1256D: (1) user guided interpretations of electrofacies acquired by imaging tools combined with other wireline tools; and (2) the use of an artificial neutral network to objectively classify the responses of all available logging information. Great availability of formation microscanner (FMS) images provided superior coverage of the borehole wall compared to previous attempts at core-log integration. This has resulted in more confident and detailed lithologic classifications, such as with the distinction between pillows and different styles of breciation. Ten lithology types are suggested for a volcanostratigraphy model: massive flows, ponded lava, fractured massive flows, fragmented flows, thin flows or thick pillows, pillows, breccias, dikes in dike complex, isolated dikes, and gabbros. Three major lithology types in the extrusive section are massive flows (both massive and fragmented massive flow, 22%), fragmented flows (32%), and breccias (19%). Pillow lavas make up only 1.9% of the volcanic section and are confined to a 100 m interval. Below the extrusive section, subvertical contacts interpreted to be dike margins are typically observed every 1 to 2 m with brecciated zones along the contacts. The dikes dip steeply to the northeast indicating slight rotation away from the ridge axis. We used an artificial neural network (ANN) approach to determine a quantitative lithostratigraphy. The ANN is most strongly influenced by porosity and alteration degrees and the resulting stratigraphy most closely resembles the above classifications when clustered by FMS texture as opposed to lithologic interpretation. The ANN thus provides a porosity-based stratigraphy of the basement rather than the traditional lithology-based stratigraphy.

Equal pay for women and men alike seems like a no-brainer, right? But it isn't. The Senate Tuesday failed to get the necessary 60 votes needed to advance the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would have closed the wage gap between men and women who perform the same work. President Obama, in a statement, said he was disappointed with the Senate action. "Despite the progress that has been made over the years, women continue to earn substantially less than men for …

Required by the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments to protect public drinking water supplies, the Source Water Assessment Program requires states to: delineate source water protection areas for public water systems; identify the origins of regulated and certain unregulated contaminants in the delineated area; determine the susceptibility of public water supplies to contamination by sources inventoried. States are also required to describe how they will attempt to coordinate assessments of interstate waterways with other states, tribes and nations, known as the "maximum practical effort."
Click here for a copy of the Source Water Protection Plan for the Upper Ohio River Public Water Systems (.pdf ) November 2012
In 1997, ORSANCO initiated a work group to discuss interstate aspects of Source Water Protection Program activities for the Ohio River. The work group is comprised of representatives of state and federal drinking water agencies, including: Indiana Department of Environmental Management; Illinois Environmental Protection Agency; Kentucky Department of Water; Ohio Environmental Protection Agency; Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection; West Virginia Bureau of Public Health; U.S. EPA Regions 3, 4, & 5; and ORSANCO's Water Users Advisory Committee. As a result of work group meetings, ORSANCO agreed to develop an approach for states to delineate and inventory the 32 Ohio River surface water intakes. This approach would be incorporated into a report that could be appended to individual state source water protection program activities for the Ohio River.
Due to the size of the Ohio River, ORSANCO developed a tiered delineation system consisting of three protection zones. The purpose of this tiered approach is to define the level of source inventory within the Ohio River Basin.
Zone I | Zone II | Zone III |
Zone of Critical Concern | Zone of High Concern | Source Water Area |
Extends 1/4 mile below a water intake to 25 miles upstream in the Ohio River. The lateral extent includes 1/4 mile on both sides of the river bank and major tributaries.
Extends 1/4 mile below the surface of a water intake upstream, to 1/4 mile below the next Ohio River intake. The lateral extent includes all 14-digit hydrologic units adjacent to the banks of the Ohio River and major tributaries.
The entire portion of the Ohio River Basin upstream from a surface water intake.
All potential contaminant sources to a surface water should be identified and inventoried. Potential sources can be found using existing national, international, and state databases and through field verification.
Inventories should focus on existing databases and "localized" in-state resources to identify sources of contamination. Due to the size of this zone, a field component to identify sources of potential contamination is impractical.
Only critical areas of major activity need to be located. At a minimum, sources contained in US EPA's Envirofacts Warehouse Web page should be identified.
Ohio River states are responsible for performing potential contaminant source inventories for drinking water intakes within their respective boundaries. ORSANCO then coordinates an information exchange between neighboring states so that the interstate aspects of source water protection activities can be addressed. To facilitate a data transfer between states, a minimum requirements for available information on point sources of contamination was established. State agencies may choose to provide additional data beyond the minimum requirements.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
The teacher-student relationship has been fodder for pornography since there?s been teachers, students, and pornography. It?s a classic trope, and My First Sex Teacher 8 mines that rich soil to bring some hot holder lady action.
Hooray for Amber Lynn! One of the great superstars in porn history makes an appearance in this one, and she hasn?t lost a step. She looks just lovely with her legs spread wide open, taking a deep dicking, body just as hot as ever. Very nice, indeed.
Also hot in this is Austin Kinkaid, who looks hot in her glasses and nothing else, nice curves accentuating a pretty hot body that?s durable enough to fuck for days on end. She looks very nice getting a facial, her winning smile making it even better.
On the whole, this older woman release is much better than most, due to the sterling cast and fine sex inside.
Retailing: Older lady fans will be quite happy here.

With people still talking about the Nationwide Super Bowl ad that brought dramatic attention to the number one killer of kids, preventable injuries, we're releasing new research that reveals the scope of the problem in a place most parents assume is safe: the home. Every day, six children die from an injury in the home, and 10,000 go to the emergency department for the kinds of injuries that commonly happen in homes.
Just because I'm fearless on the court doesn't mean that I'm fearless in my everyday life. In fact, even something fun and seemingly harmless like a swimming pool can scare me. The truth is—I never learned to swim as a child. I may be able to score a career playoff high of 27 points for the Boston Celtics, but if you threw me into the ocean, I'd drown.
Yes, my parents actually let me marry the guy who burned me. We were in high school and my future husband, John (the sweet guy he is), was cooking fried okra. The oil in the pan became too hot too fast. It went up in flames in a matter of seconds. I was standing back against the wall and could not get out of harm's way quick enough. My right foot and leg caught on fire.
Water, summer and kids having fun are synonymous. That was true for me when I was young, whether it involved a swimming pool, the ocean or even a big scoop of water ice in my native Philadelphia.
It's true, summer is almost over. So I have an idea: let's forget about all the things we have to do to get ready for the school year and finish out the summer in style with a great Labor Day weekend.
Here are three ideas that can help.

The Effective Sharing of Faith
"I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ" (Phile. 6).
- Philemon 6Philemon 4–7 emphasizes the fellowship Christians have with one another due to their union with Christ, pointing explicitly to how Philemon's love for the church benefited other believers (vv. 4–5, 7). But Paul does not only understand the benefits Philemon gave to other Christians as essential to his spiritual health, he also recognizes that Philemon had to receive blessings from others for his well-being.
Verse 6 is difficult to interpret, and there are many options as to what the apostle meant when he wrote it. Most of these options, however, are nuanced ways of saying the same thing. Basically, "sharing of your faith" refers to the fellowship in Jesus that all believers have with one another. Paul's hope for Philemon was that this shared fellowship would help him understand what was an oblique request for the freeing of his slave Onesimus and enable him to respond rightly to the apostle's appeal.
To put it another way, verse 6 is Paul's reminder to Philemon that he and the other Christians in Colossae shared a bond that had to be considered when making the decision itself and in relation to the effects that freeing Onesimus might have on the church. The covenant community has something to say about "private" matters, and every private moral decision we make impacts the body of Christ, particularly when these decisions cannot help but be made public (Ruth 4; 1 Cor. 5). It is false to say ethical decisions — whether about marriage or money, for example — are none of the church's business. No Christian, of course, may bind us where Scripture leaves us free, but we fool ourselves if we believe our choices are uninfluenced by other believers or have no ramifications for God's people.
Freeing Onesimus was no easy matter for Philemon. He would likely lose esteem in the community for freeing a runaway slave and might need the help of the church to sustain or improve his reputation. Philemon required "exceptional faith, love, and knowledge," as one commentator notes, to do the right thing. The fellowship of believers in the church, understanding their unity in Christ and the ways Scripture called them to treat one another by the power of the Spirit, could help Philemon see that the apostle's request for Onesimus' release was good and proper, and Paul prays in verse 6 that Philemon would indeed heed this collective wisdom.
Coram Deo
That too many believers rarely consult other believers and elders in the church before making a decision reflects the degree to which a non-biblical individualism has corrupted even the thinking of Christians. While the church is not to legalistically bind the conscience, the advice of other godly people is invaluable when we are faced with several choices that appear to be equally acceptable before God.

Another "Star Wars" movie franchise is creating quite a stir, getting all its fans excited. "Star Wars: Episode VII" is the next big thing and one of most highly anticipated films. Filming and casting is underway and another A-List star might be added to their star-studded cast. According to the latest update, Tom Cruise might land a role in JJ Abrams' blockbuster movie. Read on to find out the details. Also, find out what Domnhall Gleeson has to say about plot spoilers.
According to The Sun (via Telegraph UK), "Mission Impossible" star Tom Cruise is in talks with director JJ Abrams for a cameo role in the "Star Wars: Episode VII." The report notes, that the star is currently in London. There he met up and discussed the role with JJ Abrams and some other people involved in production of "Star Wars."
"On Saturday evening five of them met up for dinner and drinks at the Belgravia Hotel. JJ produced Mission Impossible 5 and loves working with Tom whenever he gets the chance" told a source to the newspaper.
JJ Abrams has directed and produced Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol" and will be directing untitled "Mission: Impossible 5." So he is familiar with actor's work.
"Star Wars: Episode VII" has created quite a buzz in media due to Harrison Ford's accident that took place while filming on the set. It was earlier thought that the actor might have fractured his ankle. But it was later reported that it is the case of broken leg. In the wake of his injury, the actor can't get into action for another eight weeks.
Harrison Ford's injury is reportedly "going to set things back a little scheduling wise and there's some time to play around with."
However, there is no official announcement about Tom Cruise bagging a role in "Star Wars: Episode VII." It remains to be seen, if these rumours are true.
Furthermore, it is said that actors starring in the much awaited space opera film are not allowed to give out the secrets. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" star Domhnall Gleeson talked about plot spoilers from "Star Wars: Episode VII."
After his first press conference as a "Star Wars" cast member when MTV News asked him about his role in the movie the actor said: "I could destroy my life if I gave away one of the secrets, really quickly."
Gleeson told the reporters that he has adapted a "no-talk policy."
That's not the only reason Gleeson is keeping mum on the potential information from the movie. He reportedly "doesn't want to upset anyone." So, he has decided to keep quiet and not spill out any details until the "movie is all the way out and on DVD." This means Gleeson fans need to wait until the movie is released on Dec. 18, 2015. Meanwhile, let us know if you would like to see Tom Cruise in "Star Wars: Episode VII." Do you think he will look the part?

Nelson's rancor toward the pinstripe set is as easy to understand as his gratitude toward his comrades-in-coveralls. Last November his seven-year dispute with the Internal Revenue Service came to a nasty end when IRS agents seized most of Nelson's worldly possessions. At issue: $16.7 million in back taxes, penalties and interest.
At first everything seemed destined for the highest bidder: Nelson's Pedernales Country Club and Recording Studio near Austin, Texas; the 44-acre Dripping Springs ranch, where his daughter, Lana, 36, and her four children live; 20 other properties in four states; and most of Willie's instruments, recordings and memorabilia.
But then came help, much of it from farmers who remembered the millions Nelson had raised with his Farm Aid concerts over the years. Now, with at least some of his property protected, Nelson is on the rebound again, with an upcoming TV movie, Another Pair of Aces; a soon-to-premiere weekly show on the Outlaw Music Channel, a satellite network based in Austin; and a new album. Who'll Buy My Memories? due out soon. 'The support has really been fantastic," he says. "It takes something like this to find out just how many good friends you have."
Nelson's tax trouble started in 1984, when the IRS began looking into his returns stretching back to 1972. After years of investigation, the agency declared that Nelson had underpaid taxes for six years, primarily because of invalid deductions he had taken after investing in tax shelters the IRS subsequently nixed. Nelson protested, but last June a tax court ruled in favor of the government, and the musician grudgingly agreed to pay $6 million in back taxes, plus more than $10 million in penalties and interest.
Nelson asked the IRS to wait for payment until settlement of a $45 million lawsuit he has filed against his former accounting firm, Price Waterhouse, for allegedly leading him astray. The agency refused, and last November it seized most of what Nelson owned and announced plans for auctions.
When the news of Willie's troubles hit the streets, fans around the country reacted. Old friends staged benefit concerts in Austin, where a special Willie Nelson Appreciation Day was declared. The owner of a honky-tonk where Nelson once played raised more than $7,000. In Abbott and in Waco, Texas, backers established funds for Willie's benefit.
The help wasn't enough. With barely a dent made in Willie's massive tax bill, the IRS remained unmoved. But shortly before the first sale of his personal possessions, the agency allowed posters, musical instruments, gold and platinum records and other items of sentimental value to be bought for $7,000 by the visitor-funded Willie Nelson and Friends Showcase in Hendersonville, Tenn. "It was nice of the IRS to do that," says Nelson charitably. "It could have turned into a circus." At a second auction later that month, nobody offered the government's minimum acceptable bid of $575,478 for the country club and recording studio. "I guess they were too expensive or something," says an IRS spokesperson. The agency has yet to decide whether to hold another auction or return the property to Nelson.
But the biggest reprieve came on Jan. 29, when the government attempted to sell the Dripping Springs ranch, which Nelson has owned for 15 years and considers his family homestead. More than 40 farmers, some from as far away as South Dakota, appeared at the Hays County Courthouse to show support for Nelson. Farm activist Wayne Cryts of Puxico, Mo. (PEOPLE, April 21, 1986) made an impassioned speech at the auction, urging the crowd to boycott the bidding, while other farmers approached would-be buyers with quiet, face-to-face appeals.
"I said that Willie has brought hope to farmers, helped feed farm families and saved farmers from suicide by helping to fund agencies that help us," says Cryts. "I explained to the crowd that farmers know how it feels to lose your property." In the end, attorney John Arens, who represents the American Agriculture Movement, a Washington, D.C.-based lobbying group for family farmers, bought the ranch for $203,840 at the request of some AAM members. Arens says he will hold the property until the farmers can raise enough money to purchase it for Nelson or until the musician can buy it himself.
Meanwhile, Willie continues preparing for his courtroom showdown with Price Waterhouse. His lawyer, Jay Goldberg, charges that the firm did not adequately investigate the now-discredited tax shelters. Allen Young, an attorney for Price Waterhouse, insists, "We only did his accounting and taxes. We are not his investment advisers." Moreover, says Young, "when Mr. Nelson made the investments, in the early 1980s, very few people would have predicted that the courts would later rule that way."
The trial could begin as early as this summer. In the meantime, Willie, his girlfriend, Anne-Marie D'Angelo, in her mid-30s, and their two sons, Lukas Autry, 2, and Jacob Micah, 8 months, have taken up temporary residence in a friend's home near Austin. Willie is happy that his new double LP will allow him to be helped by his fans without taking their charity. "I can accept $19.95 or whatever since people are getting something in return," he says. And even as the IRS decides what to do with Nelson's unsold properties, he says he won't mourn most of his material losses. "A lot was bought by the Willie Nelson Showcase, the golf course and studio didn't sell, and my daughter's home was bought by farmers," says Willie. "The things that did sell were just things. So actually, I haven't lost anything."

RED HOOK — Mike McCrudden has been adding a special touch to Red Hook High School graduations for the past seven years.
The social studies teacher and international baccalaureate diploma coordinator has been playing bagpipes for 27 of his 45 years, and ever since the 100th anniversary of graduation from Red Hook High School in 2006, he has played them as a recessional for the ceremony�s end.
�I guess the first time I was asked was to be something different,� said the City of Hudson native. He has been asked to play �ever since.�
On Saturday, he again played the pipes, saying goodbye to another class amid warm, clear summer weather.
Katie Quinn, valedictorian of the 162-member 2013 graduating class, said she will miss the �small-town feeling� of the school district she has attended since kindergarten.
Nonetheless, she said she is looking forward to studying engineering at the University of Notre Dame in the fall.
The 18-year-old said she looks back on her time at Red Hook as �overall, positive.�
Her mother, Linda Legault Quinn, 51, moved to Red Hook in 1988, and is �very glad� her children attended Red Hook schools. Katie Quinn is an IB diploma candidate, a specialized group of classes only offered at a few area schools.
Sitting out in front of the Linden Avenue Middle School, all in attendance watched the two-hour ceremony amid a gentle thrum of cicadas.
Red Hook Central School District Superintendent Paul Finch reflected on these uncommon, infrequent guests. He said he initially considered comparing his students to them in a speech, though eventually just couldn�t get past the �mate and die part.�

Statewide Transit Planning
Jila Priebe DMTs Statewide Transit Planning Branch works in coordination and partnership with local transit stakeholders, regional transportation planning organizations, transit agencies, and Caltrans district offices to integrate transit into mainstream transportation planning. The Branch is responsible for reviewing and providing input into local and regional transportation planning documents, system planning documents, and local short and long range transit plans, to ensure transit has been considered as a vital mode choice in the evaluation of transportation projects. DMT has developed the Statewide Transit Strategic Plan (STSP) in coordination and partnership with the California Transit (CTA) Association, the California Association for Coordinated Transportation (CalACT), and transit stakeholders across the state. The goal of the STSP was to set new direction to support public transportation in the future. This project highlights a sustainable transportation system that supports the outcomes of the California Interregional Blueprint. DMT employed both the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to produce the STSP deliverables listed below. (UCB produced the first deliverable; UCLA produced the final three.). What's New?
