Standing out in hardhat and orange vest against gritty East Tremont Ave. in The Bronx, N.Y., engineer Jessica L. McLaughlin cuts an unusual, if petite, figure. A civil engineer with Chas. H. Sells Inc., her job is nothing less than to bring the people of The Bronx closer to the winding Bronx River. Behind her, shielded by a chain-link fence and layers of untended weeds, is a one-mile-long stretch of the river that runs adjacent to an Amtrak railway. The waterway and its banks (128kb, ) are currently fenced off from pedestrians, and McLaughlin hopes her current project, the Bronx River Greenway and bike path, will change all that.
This section of the Bronx is not typically known for its parks or greenery. In fact, when meeting a reporter, McLaughlin asked two male co-workers to join in for safety's sake. "We've seen some pretty scary things going on around here—drug deals, and that kind of thing," she says.
The police department's nearby 43rd Precinct, which covers the East Tremont neighborhood, reports an improved but still worrisome amount of crime. Although the murder rate has fallen off sharply here and around New York City, there were 38 reported rapes in 2005.
Feeling unsafe on an urban jobsite is just one type of problem facing female engineers today. An even greater problem is how small a percentage of the field women remain, say women engineers and engineering associations. The number of female civil engineers in the U.S. has risen, from 8.9% in 2003 to 13.25% in 2005, according to the U.S. Dept. of Labor. Although that's a significant gain, women are still a small minority.
A 24-year-old native of Albany, N.Y., McLaughlin's interest in engineering arose from her proficiency in science—and luck. "In 7th grade, a boy backed out of our science Olympiad team, and my teacher asked me to be a stand-in," she recalls. "I hadn't really thought about science or math much before that. I had always planned on becoming a teacher! But I did participate again the following year, and took first place in regionals."
As an engineering major at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, from which she graduated in May, 2004, McLaughlin was one of only eight women in a class of 60. To bridge that gap, McLaughlin helped start a program in which 30 female high school-aged students in the area who had good math and science grades were brought to campus and shown the potential careers available to women in engineering. If the number of women engineers is to grow "girls need to be encouraged to develop an interest in math and science earlier on," McLaughlin says.
Often McLaughlin feels she needs to respond to clients or associates who are surprised that she is a young woman. "I do think there are times that clients are a bit…taken aback by my gender, and probably my age as well," she says. "It just makes me want to go the extra mile, to put them at ease. I'll be the first one to tell them when I don't have the answer to their question, but I always investigate it and get back to them quickly. It's the best way to learn, and also to show the client that I'm capable."
The transportation department at Chas. H. Sells, which is based in Briarcliff Manor, N.Y., is unusual because there are six women in a staff of 13—an unusually high percentage. "It's part of what made me join this company—I saw a fairly young woman who is a project manager, and it made it easier to envision myself, and my future, here," McLaughlin says. "It gives a view of the philosophy of the company, that they're progressive in who they hire, as well as in the technology they use. It was refreshing to see, because there were so many companies recruiting that were still 60-year-old men, still drawing by hand."
Sells' philosophy includes snapping up recent grads as quickly as possible, and keeping them on board as long as possible. "As hard as it is to recruit new talent, it's even more difficult to replace someone good," says Bernard H. Kalus, the company's manager of transportation services. "We look at it like the NFL draft. We just want the best talent.
It wasn't by design. I think it's just a sign of the changing times, and part of our philosophy is to go in the same direction as the future. We do have a good amount of young people in our office, and it really breathes life into the company."
McLaughlin appreciates the difference between the Greenway project and more run-of-the-mill assignments. Worries about crime, adds McLaughlin, are precisely what make the Bronx River Greenway project such an exciting and welcome change in the neighborhood.
"I've gotten to have a fairly large hand in this one…I'm used to looking at roads, and figuring out what can be done to fix a traffic jam, or how much repair a bumpy road will need. This was really different."
The project involves a strip of land running from Westchester Avenue to East Tremont Avenue that includes an automobile impound lot and a garage. In conjunction with the New York State Dept. of Transportation, Chas. H. Sells produced a plan to turn the desolate mile into a large recreational area whose bike path would be a link in a planned East Coast bike path linking Maine and Florida. In East Tremont, few people own cars and neighborhood support was near universal. "The people in this part of the Bronx really do feel forgotten," McLaughlin says. "It's part of what made this project so exciting to work on."
Design work will take until next year to finish. McLaughlin helped design the twenty-six retaining walls, which for the most part will be made of precast concrete blocks, and four bridges, to be made of prefabricated steel trusses. The retaining walls will allow the bike path to meet certain elevations, some high off the existing ground, as well as dip down to meet existing grade, and come back up again to cross over the Bronx River. Three of the four bridges will run over the Bronx River, and one will run over the nearby Amtrak and CSX tracks. Since the Amtrak and CSX tracks require a minimum amount of clearance between the tracks and the bottom of the bridge, the path will reach its highest elevation to clear the tracks, then slope downwards again, almost to water level to gain access to the Bronx River and a proposed dock. The dock will be located in the southeast area of a park, which will also house a baseball diamond.
The proximity of the Amtrak tracks, along with the cramped city conditions, made the one-mile project complicated.
"That's because there were so many factors involved," says McLaughlin. "We try to spot as many potential problems early on. Aside from the railroad tracks, and the number of bridges and walls that are necessary, there are also several homes in the area, and the parks and path will basically be in their backyard."
For the people living in the area, property valued will likely go up, but so will potential access to their homes. "During the Public Hearing meetings we attended, people were worried about that. We (in coordination with the Dept of Transportation) had to look at the crime statistics in the neighborhood, speak with the police and residence, and figure out what would make them feel safer," McLaughlin recalls. "Right now, there's an impound lot where the path will be, and it's very safe. We had to plan ahead to provide extra safety for the homes, and we've come up with some good options, such as extra police patrol, and security cameras. We had to figure in the high homeless population in the area, and make sure the park didn't become a makeshift shelter.
"In the end, it won't matter how pretty the parks and bike paths are, if they're not safe, no one is going to care."

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Gov. Mary Fallin proposed a last-minute legislative change on Friday to the state's Insure Oklahoma program that would direct $50 million in state tobacco taxes to pay for more than 9,000 people who are expected to lose their health insurance under the program.
Gov. Mary Fallin urges Oklahoma Legislature for health care fix
Insure Oklahoma currently uses federal Medicaid funding, state tobacco tax revenue and payments from workers and employers to provide health insurance to about 30,000 low-income Oklahomans, but the federal government notified Oklahoma last week that the program must change in order to qualify for federal funding. The program is expected to lose its federal funding on Dec. 31.
Fallin released a statement Friday urging lawmakers to redirect the $50 million so Insure Oklahoma could continue to operate as a "smaller, more targeted program run with state dollars only."
"I am asking the Legislature to send me a bill that would continue Insure Oklahoma as a state-funded program before they adjourn for the year," Fallin said. "Unless a bill is passed this year, 9,000 working, low-income Oklahomans will be stripped of their health insurance. That is not an outcome that any of us at the State Capitol should accept."
Fallin spokesman Alex Weintz said the rest of the 20,000 or so people currently enrolled in the Insure Oklahoma program likely would qualify for federal subsidies to purchase health insurance as part of the Affordable Care Act.
Messages left Friday for House Speaker T.W. Shannon and Senate President Pro Tem Brian Bingman were not immediately returned, but at least some legislators were skeptical of Fallin's proposal.
"She wants to use the $50 million in state taxpayer money, yet we passed up the opportunity to use 100 percent of federal match money. I don't think her plan makes fiscal sense to me," said Rep. Doug Cox, R-Grove, an emergency room physician.

AKWESASNE - Residents who attended a public information session on a multi-agency proposal to restore damage caused by decades of industrial pollutants praised the proposed plan as a much-needed step toward repairing both the local environment and Mohawk culture as well.
The Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration project proposal comes on the heels of a $19.4 million settlement New York state and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe reached last month with Alcoa and Reynolds for damages to natural resources, fishing, and Mohawk culture resulting from the release of industrial pollutants into the St. Lawrence River environment since at least the late 1950s. Combined with $1.8 million in restoration funds from a 2011 General Motors bankruptcy settlement, the two settlements will provide some $20.3 million toward environmental and cultural restoration.
The natural resource trustees - the St.Regis Mohawk Tribe, the U.S. Department of the Interiors Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Department of Commerces National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation - solicited restoration project ideas and developed a restoration plan to address injured natural and cultural resources and address lost human uses of natural resources, such as recreational fishing.
Barbara Tarbell, natural resource damage assessment program manager for the tribe, pointed out that unlike any other natural damage resource settlement, this settlement includes funds toward the restoration of Mohawk culture, which many say was significantly damaged by the release of industrial pollutants. Of the settlement funds, approximately $8.4 million will go toward programs that support Mohawk cultural practices, $8.3 million will go toward environmental restoration and nearly $2 million will be spent by Alcoa and Reynolds to develop and upgrade boat launches to improve fishing and boat access to the Grasse and Racquette rivers.
Cultural restoration programs will include four to five apprenticeships for young adults to teach practices such as hunting, fishing, trapping, basket-making, horticulture, medicinal plants and agriculture. These practices will be taught both in and outside the classroom, and all teaching programs will be infused with Mohawk language lessons in an effort to preserve the native language, Ms. Tarbell said.
The apprenticeship programs will sport a two-to-one ratio of apprentices to masters. To be considered, an applicant must demonstrated commitment to learning the practices, such as having prior experience in a nature- or Mohawk customs-themed program, according to Ms. Tarbell.
Fallon Davis feels too many in the community have forgotten many significant cultural practices, such as harvesting their own food or waking up before sunrise for a ceremonial tobacco burning. Ms. Davis and several other Mohawk women have recently organized a group to restore and preserve aspects of Mohawk culture that have waned since the 1980s, when the New York State Department of Health issued an advisory not to eat fish caught from the Grasse River - something which had a significant impact on the health and culture of the Mohawk people.
We cant lose any more of our culture. We have to know how to make our medicines, how to grow our own food, how to can our own food. Thats what we are doing, but there are too few of us, Ms. Davis said.
Cory Tarbell, a volunteer firefighter for the Hogansburg Akwesasne Fire Department, said he felt the apprenticeship programs were a crucial step toward reversing a negative trend among the health and choices of many young Mohawk people.
Our youth need something here and this is perfect - what theyre trying to do. Our youth are in a serious struggle. You see lots of trouble with our kids and drugs, Mr. Tarbell said.
He also welcomed efforts to expand teaching the Mohawk language, admitting he himself did not speak the language because it was lost in (his) time.
Environmental cleanup efforts will include the acquisition of thousands of acres of land and waterways to restore habitats for birds, fish, mammals, plants and sediment-dwelling organisms. The proposed plan also calls for the removal of 10 dams along the St. Lawrence, St. Regis, Racquette and Grasse rivers.
Ken Jock, director of the SRMT Environmental Division, said the removal of these dams would clear passages for certain species of fish to swim upstream to lay their eggs, which would allow the fish to breed in a more natural and less contaminated waterways. It (would) basically) turn the river to a more natural state, and provide a cleaner habitat for the fish, Mr. Jock said.
Mr. Jock said the tribe was still conducting studies to determine how the removal of the dams might affect the DOHs fish consumption advisory.
As part of the settlement, Alcoa will also spent approximately $2 million to construct and upgrade five local fishing access ramps.
These include a ramp for small boat access in the town of Louisville on the north shore of the Grasse River, a small-boat ramp in the town of Madrid on the south shore of the Grasse, a ramp in Springs Park on the north shore of the Racquette River in the village of Massena, another ramp on the north shore of the Racquette, east of the village in the town of Massena, and a ramp, floating dock and fishing deck in the town of Massena near the Route 131 bridge on the north shore of the Grasse.
Ms. Tarbell pointed out none of the boat launches are located within Akwesasne as it was not deemed a priority during the process of preparing a restoration proposal. Mr. Jock said many Akwesasne residents own their own docks or launches to access area waterways.
Ms. Tarbell said if any residents would like to see ammendments to the restoration proposal, they should submit a comment before the close of the public comment period May 4.
There will be another public information session tonight from 6 to 8 p.m. tonight at Dars Place in Massena.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror
alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are
"Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire
that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the
country's military capability.
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Libya and
have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon,
though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A
Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940
when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from
"Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a
"Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish
The Scots have raised their threat level from "###### Off" to "Let's get the
######." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have
been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.
Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to
"Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat
Operations" and "Change Sides."
The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to
"Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher
levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose."
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat
they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy.
These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy
can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to
"She'll be alright, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I
think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is
canceled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final
escalation level.

Okay honestly, we can't see a lot of corporate suits gathering around this DiamondTouch table to do some
collaborative doodling — but we totally want one for our living room. The MERL DiamondTouch is basically a ginormous
touchscreen, embedded in a table, that supports multiple simultaneous inputs, so different users can be manipulating
objects on the screen at the same time. This DiamondTouch is totally wasted on research and corporate meetings — all it
needs is some cup holders and we'd ditch our coffee table in a second.

Gay gets home in playoff at Humana
BY Bruce Young | US PGA Tour | 2013 Humana Challenge partnered with Clinton Foundation | Wrap | 21 Jan 2013
Brian Gay birdie the second extra hole of a playoff against Charles Howell 111 at the Humana Challenge in La Quinta in California to win his fourth PGA Tour title.
Gay and Howell had earlier been joined in the playoff by David Lingmerth but when the Swede made a mess of the first extra hole it was Gay and Howell who headed for the 17th where Gay's birdie got the job done.
3½ years after his last PGA Tour victory at the 2009 St Jude Classic, Gay has made the perfect start to 2013 after a year in 2012 where he had battled. He still earned close to a million dollars last year but he had set about rebuilding his swing and was not playing to the level he had in earlier seasons.
Gay had begun the final round six shots behind the overnight leader, Scott Stallings, but a round of 63 saw him not only catch Stallings but pass him as Stalling's final round of 70 including a bogey at the final hole cost him his chance of a third PGA Tour victory.
Howell was chasing his first victory since the 2007 Nissan Open but he has started the 2013 season brilliantly with a 3rd place finish last year and now this share of second with Lingmerth.
James Hahn and Scott Stallings tied for 4th on a day where the average score for the leading nine players was an impressive 8 under par 64.
The leading Australian was Matt Jones who finished 23rd while Geoff Ogilvy and Aaron Baddeley.
The PGA Tour now moves south to Torrey Pines near San Diego for the Farmers Insurance Open where the field is headed by the World number two, Tiger Woods.

The Casey Lee Ball Foundation is a nonprofit organization where 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to pediatric kidney research. There are over 50 terminal diseases, yet kidney research has no famous spokesperson, no glamour, and as a result, it is dramatically under-funded. Casey Lee Ball, third son of Sterling Ball, President of Ernie Ball, Inc., was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease at age two. At age five, while Casey and Sterling were recuperating from kidney transplant surgery at UCLA, they decided to create the Casey Lee Ball Foundation.
In the last six years over seven million dollars has been raised for the Casey Lee Ball Foundation. This is a true charity. No one will make any money from these auctions except pediatric kidney disease researchers dressed in white coats! Again, every dollar raised goes directly to research. There are no administrative fees, no overhead, and all management, accounting, and legal fees are done pro bono.
Our fundraising efforts help to pay for much needed research at Seattle Children's Hospital, Texas Children's Hospital, Cincinnati Children's hospital and the Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA. As a result of this research, several new medicines have made it to market in record time and are now helping to reduce the side effects of kidney transplant anti-rejection medicines. At present, a transplant is only a treatment, not a cure for kidney disease.
When you go to UCLA for Kidney disease treatment, you go to the the Casey Lee Ball Kidney Research Center, where we endowed a chair. This represents a million dollar contribution and one of only six chairs at UCLA that are endowed, ensuring kidney research will go on in perpetuity.

Wow. Don't skip this short excerpt.
