Hell's Kitchen, also known as Clinton and Midtown West, is a neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City, between 34th Street in the south, 59th Street in the north, Eighth Avenue in the east, and the Hudson River to the west. The area provides transport, medical, and warehouse infrastructure support to Manhattan's Midtown business district.
Once a bastion of poor and working-class Irish Americans, Hell's Kitchen's proximity to Midtown has changed it over the last three decades of the 20th century and into the new millennium. The 1969 City Planning Commission's 1969 Plan for New York City reported that development pressures related to its Midtown location were driving people of modest means from the area, and the gritty reputation that Hell's Kitchen developed afterward kept real estate prices below those of most other areas of Manhattan. Since the early 1990s, the area has been gentrifying, and rents skyrocketed. Located close to both Broadway theatres and Actors Studio training school, Hell's Kitchen has long been a home to learning and practicing actors.

"Hell's Kitchen" generally refers to the area from 34th to 59th Streets. Starting west of Eighth Avenue, city zoning regulations generally limit buildings to six stories. As a result, most of the buildings are older, and are often walk-up apartments. For the most part, the neighborhood encompasses the ZIP codes 10019 and 10036. The post office for 10019 is called Radio City Station, the original name for Rockefeller Center on Sixth Avenue.[2]
- East: To the east, the neighborhood overlaps the Times Square Theater District to the east at Eighth Avenue. On its southeast border, it overlaps the Garment District also on Eighth Avenue. Here, two landmarks reside – the New Yorker Hotel and the dynamic Manhattan Center building (at the northwest corner of 34th Street and Eighth Avenue). Included in the transition area on Eighth Avenue are the Port Authority Bus Terminal at 42nd Street, the Pride of Manhattan Fire Station (from which 15 firefighters died at the World Trade Center), several theatres including Studio 54, the original soup stand of Seinfeld's "The Soup Nazi"' and the Hearst Tower.[2]
- North: The northern edge of Hell's Kitchen borders the southern edge of the Upper West Side. 57th Street is the traditional boundary between the two neighborhoods. However, Hell's Kitchen is often considered to extend further north to 59th Street, the southern edge of Central Park starting at Eighth Avenue, where the avenue names change; this neighborhood overlaps with the Upper West Side if this is considered to be Hell's Kitchen's northern boundary. Included in the 57th to 59th Street transition area are the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle, St. Luke's–Roosevelt Hospital Center, where John Lennon died in 1980 after being shot, and John Jay College.[2]
- South: The southern boundary is at Chelsea, but the two neighborhoods overlap and are often lumped together as the "West Side" since they support the Midtown Manhattan business district. The traditional dividing line is 34th Street. The transition area just north of Madison Square Garden and Pennsylvania Station includes the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.[2]
- West: The western border of the neighborhood is the Hudson River at the Hudson River Park and West Side Highway.[2]
Several explanations exist for the original name. An early use of the phrase appears in a comment Davy Crockett made about another notorious Irish slum in Manhattan, Five Points. According to the Irish Cultural Society of the Garden City Area:
When, in 1835, Davy Crockett said, "In my part of the country, when you meet an Irishman, you find a first-rate gentleman; but these are worse than savages; they are too mean to swab hell's kitchen." He was referring to the Five Points.[3]
According to an article by Kirkley Greenwell, published online by the Hell's Kitchen Neighborhood Association:
No one can pin down the exact origin of the label, but some refer to a tenement on 54th Street as the first "Hell's Kitchen." Another explanation points to an infamous building at 39th as the true original. A gang and a local dive took the name as well.... a similar slum also existed in London and was known as Hell's Kitchen.[4]
Local historian Mary Clark explained the name thus:
...first appeared in print on September 22, 1881 when a New York Times reporter went to the West 30s with a police guide to get details of a multiple murder there. He referred to a particularly infamous tenement at 39th Street and Tenth Avenue as "Hell's Kitchen," and said that the entire section was "probably the lowest and filthiest in the city." According to this version, 39th Street between 9th and 10th Avenues became known as Hell's Kitchen and the name was later expanded to the surrounding streets. Another version ascribes the name's origins to a German restaurant in the area known as Heil's Kitchen, after its proprietors.[5] But the most common version traces it to the story of "Dutch Fred the Cop," a veteran policeman, who with his rookie partner, was watching a small riot on West 39th Street near Tenth Avenue. The rookie is supposed to have said, "This place is hell itself," to which Fred replied, "Hell's a mild climate. This is Hell's Kitchen."[5][6]
Hell's Kitchen has stuck as the most-used name of the neighborhood, even though real estate developers have offered alternatives of "Clinton" and "Midtown West", or even "the Mid-West". The Clinton name, used by the municipality of New York City, originated in 1959 in an attempt to link the area to DeWitt Clinton Park at 52nd and Eleventh Avenue, named after the 19th century New York governor.
Early history and development
On the island of Manhattan as it was when Europeans first saw it, the Great Kill formed from three small streams that united near present-day Tenth Avenue and 40th Street, then wound through the low-lying Reed Valley, renowned for fish and waterfowl,[7] to empty into the Hudson River at a deep bay on the river at the present 42nd Street.[8] The name was retained in a tiny hamlet, Great Kill, that became a center for carriage-making, while the upland to the south and east became known as Longacre, the predecessor of Longacre Square (now Times Square).[9]
One of the large farms of the colonial era in this neighborhood was that of Andreas Hopper and his descendants, extending from today's 48th Street nearly to 59th Street and from the river east to what is now Sixth Avenue. One of the Hopper farmhouses, built in 1752 for John Hopper the younger, stood near 53rd Street and Eleventh Avenue; christened "Rosevale" for its extensive gardens, it was the home of the War of 1812 veteran, Gen. Garrit Hopper Striker, and lasted until 1896, when it was demolished. The site was purchased for the city and naturalistically landscaped by Samuel Parsons Jr. as DeWitt Clinton Park. In 1911 New York Hospital bought a full city block largely of the Hopper property, between 54th and 55th Streets, Eleventh and Twelfth Avenues.[10] Beyond the railroad track, projecting into the river at 54th Street, was Mott's Point, with an 18th-century Mott family house surrounded by gardens that was inhabited by members of the family until 1884 and survived until 1895.[11]
A lone surviving structure that dates from the time this area was open farmland and suburban villas is a pre-1800s carriage house that once belonged to a villa owned by ex-Vice President and New York State governor George Clinton, now in a narrow court behind 422 West 46th Street.[13] From 1811 until it was officially de-mapped in 1857, the diminutive Bloomingdale Square was part of the city's intended future; it extended from 53rd to 57th Streets between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. It was eliminated after the establishment of Central Park,[14] and the name shifted to the junction of Broadway, West End Avenue, and 106th Street, now Straus Park. In 1825, the City purchased for $10 clear title to a right-of-way through John Leake Norton's[lower-alpha 1] farm, "The Hermitage", to lay out 42nd Street clear to the river. Before long, cattle ferried from Weehawken were being driven along the unpaved route to slaughterhouses on the East Side.[16] Seventy acres of the Leake (later Norton) property, extending north from 42nd to 46th Street and from Broadway to the river, had been purchased before 1807 by John Jacob Astor and William Cutting, who held it before dividing it into building lots as the district became more suburban.
Unity with the city and deterioration
The first change that began to unite the area more closely to New York City was the construction of the Hudson River Railroad, which completed the forty miles to Peekskill on September 29, 1849, to Poughkeepsie by the end of that year, and extended to Albany in 1851. As far as 60th Street, the track ran at street grade up Eleventh Avenue, before the independent riverside roadbed commenced.[17]
The formerly rural riverfront was transformed for industrial uses such as tanneries that could discharge their effluent into the river and ship their production by the rails. Hence the beginnings of the neighborhood of the southern part of the 22nd Ward, which would become known as Hell's Kitchen, start in the mid-19th century, when immigrants from Ireland, most of them refugees from the Great Famine, began settling on the west side of Manhattan in shantytowns along the Hudson River. Many of these immigrants found work on the docks nearby, or along the railroad that carried freight into the city along Eleventh Avenue.
After the American Civil War the population increased dramatically, as tenements were erected and increased immigration added to the neighborhood's congestion. Many in this poverty stricken area turned to gang life and the neighborhood soon became known as the "most dangerous area on the American Continent". Around the start of the 20th century, the neighborhood was controlled by gangs, including the violent Gopher Gang led by One Lung Curran and later by Owney Madden.[18] The violence escalated during the 1920s, after Prohibition was implemented in 1919. The many warehouses in the district served as ideal distilleries for the rumrunners who controlled the illicit liquor. Gradually the earlier gangs such as the Hell's Kitchen Gang were transformed into organized crime entities around the same time that Owney Madden became one of the most powerful mobsters in New York.
After the Repeal of Prohibition, many of the organized crime elements moved into other rackets, such as illegal gambling and union shakedowns. The postwar era was characterized by a flourishing waterfront, and longshoreman work was plentiful. By the end of the 1950s, however, the implementation of containerized shipping led to the decline of the West Side piers and many longshoremen found themselves out of work. In addition, the construction of the Lincoln Tunnel had split Hell's Kitchen in the Lincoln Tunnel ramp area at 39th Street, and anything southwest of 39th Street and Tenth Avenue was virtually condemned.[19]
In 1959, an aborted rumble between rival Irish and Puerto Rican gangs led to the notorious "Capeman" murders in which two innocent teenagers were killed. By 1965, Hell's Kitchen was the home base of the Westies, a deeply violent Irish American crew aligned with the Gambino crime family. It was not until the early 1980s that widespread gentrification began to alter the demographics of the longtime working-class Irish American neighborhood. The 1980s also saw an end to the Westies' reign of terror, when the gang lost all of its power after the RICO convictions of most of its principals in 1986.
First wave of gentrification
Special Clinton zoning district
Although the neighborhood is immediately west of New York's main business district, development lagged for more than 30 years because of strict zoning rules in a Special Clinton District designed to protect the neighborhood's residents and its low-rise character.
In part to qualify for federal aid, New York developed a comprehensive Plan for New York City in 1969–70. For Hell's Kitchen, the master plan called for two to three thousand hotel rooms, 25,000 apartments, 25,000,000 square feet (2,300,000 m2) of office space, a new super liner terminal, a subway along 48th Street, and a convention center to replace what the plan described as "blocks of antiquated and deteriorating structures of every sort."[20] However, outrage at the massive residential displacement that this development project would have caused, and the failure of the City to complete any replacement housing, led to opposition to the first project – a new convention center to replace the New York Coliseum.[21]
To forestall the negative impacts of the master plan, the Clinton Planning Council and Daniel Gutman, their environmental planner, proposed that the convention center and all major development be located south of 42nd Street.[22]
Nevertheless, in 1973 the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center was approved for a 44th Street site that would replace piers 84 and 86. In exchange the City abandoned the 1969–70 master plan[23] and gave the neighborhood a special zoning district to restrict further redevelopment.[24] Since then, new development has filled in the many empty lots and rejunvinated existing buildings. However, in 1978, when the city could not afford to construct the 44th Street convention center, the Mayor and Governor chose the rail yard site originally proposed by the community. Major office and residential development south of 42nd Street went unrealized until the unrelated Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project started construction much later.[25]
The SCD was originally split into four areas:
- Preservation Area: 43rd to 56th Streets between Eighth and Tenth Avenues. R-7 density, 6-story height limit on new buildings, suggested average apartment size of two bedrooms (this was a response to the fact that between 1960 and 1970 developers had torn down 2,300 family-sized units and replaced them with 1,500 smaller units).
- Perimeter Area: Eighth Avenue, 42nd and 57th Streets. Bulkier development permitted to counterbalance the downzoning in the preservation area.
- Mixed Use Area: Tenth and Eleventh Avenues between 43rd and 50th Streets. Mixed residential and manufacturing. New residential development only permitted in conjunction with manufacturing areas. Later combined into "Other Areas".
- Other Areas: West of Eleventh Avenue. Industrial and waterfront uses. Later combined with "Mixed Use Area"
Special permits are required for all demolition and construction in the SCD, including demolition of "any sound housing in the District" and any rehabilitation that increases the number of dwellings in a structure. In the original provisions. no building could be demolished unless it was unsound. New developments, conversions, or alterations that create new units or zero bedroom units must contain at least 20% two bedroom apartments with a minimum room size of 168 square feet (16 m2). Alterations that reduce the percentage of two-bedroom units are not permitted unless the resulting building meets the 20% two-bedroom requirement. Finally, building height in the Preservation Area cannot exceed 66 feet (20 m) or seven stories, whichever is less.
As the gentrification pace increased, there were numerous reports of problems between landlords and tenants. The most extreme example was the eight-story Windermere complex at the southwest corner of Ninth Avenue and 57th Street. Built in 1881, it is the second-oldest large apartment house in Manhattan.[26][27]
In 1980, the then-owner, Alan B. Weissman, tried to empty the building of its tenants. According to former tenants and court papers, rooms were ransacked, doors were ripped out, prostitutes were moved in, and tenants received death threats in the campaign to empty the building. All the major New York newspapers covered the trials that sent the Windermere's managers to jail. Although the building's landlord, Alan B. Weissman, was never linked to the harassment, he and his wife made top billing in the 1985 edition of The Village Voice annual list, "The Dirty Dozen: New York's Worst Landlords."[28] Most of the tenants eventually settled and moved out of the building. As of May 2006, seven tenants remained[29] and court orders protecting the tenants and the building allowed it to remain in derelict condition even as the surrounding neighborhood was experiencing a dramatic burst of demolition and redevelopment. Finally, in September 2007, the fire department evacuated those remaining seven residents from the building, citing dangerous conditions, and padlocked the front door.[30] In 2008 the New York Supreme Court ruled that the owners of the building, who include the TOA Construction Corporation of Japan, must repair it.[31]
Failed rezoning attempts
By the 1980s, though, the area was in decline. Both the state and the city hoped that the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center would renew the area.[32] Hotels, restaurants, apartment buildings, and television studios were proposed.[33] One proposal included apartments and hotels on a 30 acres (12 ha) pier jutting out onto Hudson River, which also included a marina, ferry slip, stores, restaurants, and a performing arts center.[34] At Ninth Avenue and 33rd Street, a 32-story office tower would be built.[35] Hotels, apartment buildings, and a Madison Square Garden would be built over the tracks west of Pennsylvania Station.[36][37] North of the Javits Center, a "Television City" would be developed by Larry Silverstein in conjunction with NBC.[33]
Because the zoning regulations at the time did not allow any buildings above 66 feet (20 m) or seven stories, whichever was less, none of these plans were feasible. Even if the buildings were erected, there was very little public transit in the area; they would be extremely far from Penn Station; and none of the proposals for a quick link to Penn Station were viable.[32] No changes to the zoning policy happened until 1990, when the city rezoned a small segment of 11th Avenue near the Javits Center.[38][39] In 1993, part of 9th Avenue between 35th and 41st Streets was also rezoned.[40][41] However, neither of these rezonings was particularly significant, as most of the area was still zoned as a manufacturing district with low-rise apartment buildings.[42]
By the early 1990s, there was a recession, which scuttled plans for rezoning and severely reduced the amount of development in the area.[43] After the recession was over, developers invested in areas like Times Square, eastern Hell's Kitchen, and Chelsea, but mostly skipped the Far West Side.[44]
September 11, 2001
While almost all fire stations in Manhattan lost firefighters in the September 11 attacks, the station with the greatest loss of firefighters was Engine 54, Ladder 4, Battalion 9 at 48th Street and Eighth Avenue, which lost 15 firefighters. Given its proximity to Midtown, the station had specialized in skyscraper fires and rescues and, in 2007, was the second busiest firehouse in New York City, with 9,685 runs between the two companies.[45] Its patch reads "Pride of Midtown" and "Never Missed a Performance". Memorials dot the station's exterior walls and a granite memorial is in a park to its north. Ladder 21, the "Pride of Hell's Kitchen", located on 38th Street between Ninth and Tenth Avenues, and stationed with Engine 34, lost 7 firefighters on September 11. In addition, on September 11, Engine 26 was temporarily stationed with Engine 34/Ladder 21 and lost many firefighters themselves.
Larry Silverstein made part of his fortune that eventually earned him the lease for both World Trade Centers by building and managing buildings in the neighborhood. Silverstein's architect David Childs designed the Time Warner Center and Worldwide Plaza buildings in the area before designing the new One World Trade Center.
Redevelopment and second wave of gentrification
Hell's Kitchen has become an increasingly upscale neighborhood of affluent young professionals as well as residents from the "old days",[46][47][48] with rents in the neighborhood having increased dramatically above the average in Manhattan.[49] It has also acquired a large and diverse community as residents have moved north from Chelsea. Zoning has long restricted the extension of Midtown Manhattan's skyscraper development into Hell's Kitchen.[50] The David Childs and Frank Williams designed Worldwide Plaza established a beachhead when it was built in 1989 at the former Madison Square Garden site, a full city block between 49th and 50th Streets and between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. The city under Michael Bloomberg relaxed zoning all over the city in the wake of the September 11 attacks. This led to a real-estate building boom with Hell's Kitchen getting some of the biggest projects in the city, including the Hearst Tower at 56th Street and Eighth Avenue. An indication of how fast real estate prices rose in the neighborhood was a 2004 transaction involving the Howard Johnson's Motel at 52nd and Eighth Avenue. In June, Vikram Chatwal's Hampshire Hotel Group bought the motel and adjoining SIR (Studio Instrument Rental) building for $9 million. In August, they sold the property to Elad Properties for about $43 million. Elad, which formerly owned the Plaza Hotel, is in the process of building The Link, a luxury 44-story building.
The most prominent real estate project in the area, the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project—a mixed-use real estate development by Related Companies and Oxford Properties—is expected to consist of 16 skyscrapers containing more than 12,700,000 square feet (1,180,000 m2) of new office, residential, and retail space. Among its components will be an extension of the IRT Flushing Line, serving the 7 <7> trains, to the 34th Street – Hudson Yards station. This new station opened on September 13, 2015,[51][52] at 34th Street and 11th Avenue, and will serve a renovation of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, six million square feet (560,000 m2) of commercial office space, a 750,000-square-foot (70,000 m2) retail center with two levels of restaurants, cafes, markets and bars, a hotel, a cultural space, about 5,000 residences, a 750-seat school, and 14 acres (5.7 ha) of public open space.[53] Hudson Yards officially broke ground on December 4, 2012, with the first tower, an 895-foot (273 m) office building in the southeast corner of the site, expected to be complete in 2016.[54]
Hell's Kitchen's side streets are mostly lined with trees. The neighborhood does not have many parks or recreational areas, though smaller plots have been converted into green spaces.
One such park is Hell's Kitchen Park, built in the 1960s on a former parking lot on 10th Avenue between 47th and 48th Streets.[6]
A newer park in Hell's Kitchen is the Hudson Park and Boulevard, which is part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project.[55]
The Clinton Community Garden, a neighborhood garden, is a result of the actors living in the area. Since they mostly work at night in the local theatres, they took time to create a garden in what was then a rubble-strewn lot. Eventually it contributed to the area's gentrification.
Entertainment industry
Hell's Kitchen's gritty reputation had made its housing prices lower than elsewhere in Manhattan. Given the lower costs in the past and its proximity to Broadway theatres, the neighborhood is a haven for aspiring actors. Many famous actors and entertainers have resided there, including Burt Reynolds, Rip Torn, Bob Hope, Charlton Heston, James Dean, Madonna, Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Alicia Keys, John Michael Bolger, and Sylvester Stallone. This is due in large part to the Actors Studio on West 44th at which Lee Strasberg taught and developed method acting.
With the opening of the original Improv by Budd Friedman in 1963, the club became a hangout for singers to perform but quickly attracted comedians, as well, turning it into the reigning comedy club of its time. Once located near West 44th Street and Ninth Avenue, it has since shuttered, replaced by a restaurant.
Manhattan Plaza at 42nd Street between Ninth and Tenth Avenues was built in the 1970s to house artists. It consists of two 46-story towers with 70 percent of the apartments set aside for performing artists. The Actors' Temple and Saint Malachy's Roman Catholic Church with its Actors' Chapel also testify to the long-time presence of show business people.
The neighborhood is also home to a number of broadcast and music-recording studios, including the CBS Broadcast Center at 524 West 57th Street, also the home of Black Entertainment Television's 106 & Park show; the former Sony Music Studios at 460 West 54th Street, which closed in 2007; Manhattan Center Studios at 311 West 34th Street; and Right Track Recording's Studio A509 orchestral recording facility at West 38th Street and Tenth Avenue. The syndicated Montel Williams Show is also taped at the Unitel Studios, 433 West 53rd Street, between Ninth and Tenth Avenues.
The Comedy Central satirical program The Daily Show has taped in Hell's Kitchen since its debut. In 2005, it moved from its quarters at 54th Street and Tenth Avenue to a new studio in the neighborhood, at 733 Eleventh Avenue, between 51st and 52nd Streets. The 54th and 10th location was used for The Colbert Report throughout its entire run from 2005 until 2014. As of 2015 the studio is used for The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, following Stephen Colbert's departure from Comedy Central. Next door to at 511 W. 54th St. is Ars Nova theater, home to emerging artists Joe Iconis and breakout star Jesse Eisenberg, among others.
The headquarters of Troma studios is located in Hell's Kitchen. The Baryshnikov Arts Center opened at 37 Arts on 37th Street in 2005, the Orchestra of St. Luke's opened the DiMenna Center for Classical Music in the same building in 2011. The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater opened at 55th Street and Ninth Avenue in 2006.
Ninth Avenue is noted for its many ethnic restaurants. The Ninth Avenue Association's International Food Festival, stretches through the Kitchen from 37th to 57th Streets every May, usually on the third weekend of the month. It has been going on since 1974 and is one of the oldest street fairs in the city. There are Caribbean, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Irish, Mexican, and Thai restaurants as well as multiple Afghan, Argentine, Ethiopian, Peruvian, Turkish, Indian, Pakistani, and Vietnamese restaurants. Due to the abundance of restaurants, Restaurant Row is located on West 46th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues.
The Lincoln Tunnel connects New York City to New Jersey. Parking lots dot the neighborhood, but are dwindling in quantity as developments are being built. Eleventh Avenue is lined with car dealerships, many of which claim to have the highest volume among all dealerships for their brands in the country.
The massive Port Authority Bus Terminal is between 40th and 42nd Streets and Eighth and Ninth Avenues. Several New York City Bus routes (such as the M11, M12, M31, M34 SBS, M42, M50) also service the area.
Many of the horse-drawn carriages from Central Park stay in stables just off the West Side Highway. It is not uncommon to hear the sound of horses in the neighborhood. There have been calls for banning horse-drawn carriages, especially from Mayor of New York City Bill de Blasio following a handful of collisions between cars and carriages.[56][57][58] The carriage horses live in historic stables originally built in the 19th century, but today boast the latest in barn design, such as fans, misting systems, box stalls, and state-of-the-art sprinkler systems. As horses always have in densely populated urban areas, the carriage horses live upstairs in their stables while the carriages are parked below on the ground floor.[59][60]
Cruise ships frequently dock at the New York Passenger Ship Terminal in the 48th to 52nd piers called Piers 88, 90, 92. Cruise ship horns are a common sound in the neighborhood. Several French restaurants opened on West 51st Street to accommodate traffic from the French Line. The piers originally built in 1930 are now considered small, and some cruise traffic uses other locations. Other ship operations in the neighborhood include Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises at West 42nd and the NY Waterway ferry service.
Hell's Kitchen begins northwest of Penn Station. Amtrak trains going into the station run along a sunken corridor west of Tenth Avenue, which feeds into the Freedom Tunnel; it is used by approximately thirty trains daily. During the post-9/11 building boom, apartment houses have been built over sections of the train tracks.
Hell's Kitchen is bounded on the east by the New York City Subway's IND Eighth Avenue Line (A C E trains). The MTA built the 7 Subway Extension (7 <7> trains) for the aforementioned Hudson Yards development. The extension to 34th Street – Hudson Yards opened on September 13, 2015,[51][52] making the IRT Flushing Line the westernmost New York City Subway line within Midtown.[61]
The Success Academy Charter Schools group opened an elementary school,[62] Success Academy Hell's Kitchen,[63] in the High School of Graphic Communication Arts building in 2013.[62]

Meet Champ, a mellow and gentle 2-year-old, 13-pound guy who needs a quiet home to call his own. He is a touch on the shy side at first but opens up quickly, and he gains a lot of confidence in the presence of other dogs. He is used to living with lots of doggy friends and would probably love a buddy in his new home.
Sweet Adeline is a charismatic and charming 6-year-old cat. With her slightly crossed eyes and adorable seal point markings, she invites affection. When she's in the right mood, Adeline gives lovely furry hugs. This lovely lady is more playful than snuggly though, and will happily dance with a stuffed mouse for hours. Adeline communicates her likes very subtly; she'll let you know if you miss her cues with a gentle nip, so she'll do best in an adult-only home. She would also prefer to be an only pet in her new home.
Here's what her foster says: "Adeline wants to be around people always but doesn't necessarily want to be touched a ton. A few pets are always welcome, after that gauge how she is feeling. She likes to sit on laps when she feels like it. She also likes to keep tabs on the house and will greet you at the door."
Adeline has a wound on her leg which requires twice-weekly wet bandage changes to heal. Berkeley Humane will perform the bandage changes at no cost to the adopter for the duration of treatment.
Cat adoption hours are noon to 4 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 11 a.m.to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday; dog adoption hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday at Berkeley Humane, 2700 Ninth St. Details: 510-845-3633, www.berkeleyhumane.org or email@example.com.

Lindsey Sexton, 52 Islands
The effects of climate change will continue to have a severe impact on islands. People living in the Pacific Islands, for example, are already experiencing shifts in rainfall patterns, rising sea levels, and changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme tropical storms. Climate change acts as a threat multiplier for many islands already facing development challenges. As a result, individuals, communities, and the government can feel disempowered and confused as to the choices that will allow them to thrive in the face of a changing world.
To help combat these issues, Lindsey Sexton leads the 52 Island project in Funafuti, Tuvalu, Fiji. Most of the Pacific Islands are focusing on adaptation planning within their country, but are not addressing the mobility needs of communities. Individuals and families who have already decided they would like to migrate have found significant challenges, including a lack of financial resources and a need for education.
"We will focus on increasing climate mobility, or as one island leader termed "migrating with dignity," said Lindsey.
Lindsey, along with three team members share the vision of a transition to a world of thriving communities within a healthy ecosystem. 52 Islands assists island nations with adapting to climate change impacts by mobilizing resources and people in those communities faced with potential displacement. The goal is to work from the community up, and to develop climate mobility strategies, as an addendum to an island's National Adaptation Plan. They will also provide and help to develop in-country support to implement the climate mobility strategies, which will require significant efforts in education, vocational training, government action, and a supportive community infrastructure from both the vulnerable island and receiving country.
For more information about 52 Islands, visit their website.

Street lights could be out over winter due to Stormont budget cuts
Tens of thousands of street lights could be out across Northern Ireland over the winter due to budget cuts, a Stormont minister has said.
The warning comes from Roads Minister Danny Kennedy whose department is facing £15m cuts.
Mr Kennedy also said he has had to stop approving some new work for road maintenance, grass cutting and gully emptying.
The move comes after Stormont agreed to endorse the June monitoring round.
Last week, it was revealed that Stormont departments, excluding health and education, were to have their budgets cut by a total of £78m.
Finance Minister Simon Hamilton also warned that further cuts, amounting to £87m, would be required if a deal on welfare reform was not agreed.
Northern Ireland is being penalised by the Treasury for not endorsing welfare reforms passed by Westminster in February 2013.
Sinn Féin has led the opposition to the reforms.
In a statement to BBC Northern Ireland's Nolan Show on Wednesday, Mr Kennedy said his department was "facing a significant budget shortfall".
"My department has consistently relied on securing additional funding in monitoring rounds to fund essential roads maintenance and street lighting services," he said.
"This year, I have already had to reduce services in these important areas in anticipation of not securing additional funding.
"Having already started from a position of a significant funding gap, I now need to deliver budget reductions of 4.4% - £15m as a result of June monitoring."
The Ulster Unionist minister said he had "no option" other than to stop issuing new work to certain contractors, who undertake one quarter of the department's work.
The schemes affected include footway and carriageway repairs - including potholes - grass cutting, gully emptying, road marking and traffic sign maintenance/replacement.
Mr Kennedy said he had also taken the "difficult decision to stop funding external contractors for the repair of street lights that fail, unless they pose an electrical hazard to members of the public".
"This has the potential to result in tens of thousands of street lights being out across Northern Ireland over the winter period," he said.
'Extreme budget challenges'
Mr Hamilton, the finance minister, said he noted Mr Kennedy's comments with concern.
"Whilst I think that some of his comments could be categorised as exaggeration, I have considerable sympathy for the arguments he makes," he said.
"Northern Ireland is facing extreme budget challenges. But it is important to lay the blame in the appropriate place.
"Last week the executive agreed to reduce budgets by almost £78m and we face further reductions in the region of £87m. Why? Because of the foot-dragging and failure of leadership of Sinn Féin and the SDLP over welfare reform."
'Scare tactics'
Sinn Féin accused Mr Kennedy of "grandstanding over budgets with the finance minister".
"The minister is quite aware of the problems that arise following torrential rain with our drainage systems too often unable to cope with it," assembly member Francie Molloy said.
"I am therefore concerned to hear reports that Minister Kennedy is contemplating cutting back on clearing gullies, street lighting repairs and other maintenance as a result of budgetary pressures."
SDLP regional development spokesperson John Dallat said Mr Kennedy should "stop using scare tactics over cuts to his budget".
"It would be a much better use of the minister's time to begin actively challenging the two main parties who are responsible for the current stalemate rather than causing anxiety among those who expect him to protect the services he is responsible for," he said.
"This is not the way to win wars."
Of the £78m cuts announced last week, the three hardest hit departments are Employment and Learning, which is losing £16m, Justice, which is facing a £22m cut and Social Development, which is losing £13m.
A majority of Stormont ministers passed the deal on the June monitoring round.
However, the two Alliance ministers voted against it and Mr Kennedy abstained.

October 24, 2016
Dear MSAP School Community:
Parents and guardians – thank you for your commitment to working with us to ensure a positive experience for our students during our September 11th Memorial Walk. Out students were exposed to a number of the sites that were important on that tragic day. Students had an opportunity to take in time to reflect during their visit to the two memorial pools and they spoke with school staff about their experiences on that day. This trip helped us to breathe life into an event so close to home that happened before our student body was born.
We have a few updates and reminders for you:
· Tuesday, October 25th :
o 5:30 pm will be our PTA Meeting
o 6pm we will conduct High School Workshops for all students, 6th, 7th and 8th. This is especially important for our 8th grade students. It is also an opportunity for our 6th and 7th grade families to get some information on the process so that they know what to expect in coming years. The workshops will be conducted according to need: 6th & 7th together and 8th separately. Both at 6 pm.
· Thursday, October 27th: Half Day for Student for Parent Teacher Conferences. Students will be released 11:20.
o Parent Teacher Conference Afternoon: 1-3 pm

Sky Blue FC Opens Season on April 10th at Yurcak Field
The 2011 schedule for Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) was officially unveiled on Thursday morning, with each member club playing an 18-game split of home and away matches. The season will run from April until August with an 18-day break for the upcoming FIFA Women's World Cup, and Sky Blue FC is now set to kick off its season on Sunday, April 10th, when it hosts the Philadelphia Independence at 6:00 p.m.
"As a coaching staff, it's always great to see your schedule so you can start to plan things out and break it all down," Sky Blue FC head coach Jim Gabarra remarked. "From a competitive side, especially with the World Cup, it's going to be a challenge, but we have prepared for the absence of particular players."
Certain stress can come from the official release of a league schedule, and Gabarra says that is something he almost expects with each approaching season.
"It always makes a coach panic a little bit when the schedule comes out because it means everything is right around the corner," he admitted. "This really solidifies the fact that the players will soon be arriving, and we have to finish getting ready. You always worry if there is enough time to get everything done, but I feel we are right on schedule with our preparation."
On the season, Sky Blue FC will play each of its nine home contests at Yurcak Field on the campus of Rutgers University in Piscataway, hosting two of four televised matches on Fox Soccer Channel. After a two-game split in April, the team will play a four-match split in May, two home and one away in June, four home and two away in July, followed up with three road contests in August. The final home match of the regular season for Sky Blue FC will occur on Saturday, July 30th, when it hosts the Western New York Flash at 7:00 p.m.
"By having the schedule in hand, we know the season is quickly approaching," assistant coach Rick Stainton said. "We are now able to prepare in our approach to each game because this gives us the map to create our plan. Next, we go full tilt with our approach to make sure we are ready when we open preseason camp on March 1st."
General Manager Gioia DiFlumeri was also pleased to have the logistics of scheduling confirmed so the team could move on with its preparation for the season.
"It is gratifying when the schedule gets finalized because it means that we are now able to plan out our strategy for the year," she commented. "The season is officially on the horizon, and we are focusing our efforts as an organization on making sure that we create the best possible environment for our fans at each of our home games. We look forward to what the season holds for us, and we hope the great fans of our team do as well."
Sky Blue FC currently has season tickets on sale for the upcoming season of play, with packages starting as low as $99. From now until next Monday, a Presidents Day Special is being run for anyone who purchases season tickets, with each account receiving a commemorative photo of the team at the White House last year with President Obama (autographed while supplies last). Individual tickets for the April 10th opener are also on sale, and fans can click here to purchase now.

Alabama coach Nick Saban explains the thought process behind the play that made him crack a smile.
With the score tied at 24 in the College Football Playoff championship against Clemson on Monday night, Alabama coach Nick Saban surprised everyone by calling an onside kick in the fourth quarter.
There were just over 10 minutes remaining in the game, and Saban was looking for a play that would help his team lock up the fifth national championship of his coaching career. The risky onside kick call provided all the momentum the Crimson Tide would need.
"We weren't playing very well on defense," Saban said, according to the Associated Press. "It was a tie game. I thought we needed to do something that was going to change the momentum of the game. That certainly did.
"I felt like if we didn't do something or take a chance to change the momentum of the game that we wouldn't have a chance to win."
• THAMEL: Alabama wins title thanks to Saban's savvy, historic decision
The team practices a variation of the play once a week, and Saban had told kicker Adam Griffith before the game to be prepared to try an onside kick that night. Griffith had just scored a game-tying field goal when Saban asked him if he was ready to go for it.
"I'm like, "Yeah, sure,'" Griffith said. "That's it."
Griffith delivered a perfect kick to defensive back Marlon Humphrey, and just two plays later tight end O.J. Howard scored a 51-yard touchdown to give Alabama a lead it would not relinquish, going on to win, 45–40.
• Celebrate Alabama's national title with SI's commemorative package
Humphrey said he was surprised Saban called the play in such a high-stakes game, but center Ryan Kelly applauded his coach for the decision.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures," Kelly said. "That's why he's the greatest coach, in my opinion."

BRITISH and Irish Lions coach Shaun Edwards believes extreme altitude training will stop their Test series hopes disappearing into thin air on Saturday.

A fixture the Lions cannot afford to lose will be made even harder by its location: Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria, some 5,000 feet above sea level.

The tourists struggled with similarly gruelling low-oxygen conditions during their match against the Royal XV in Rustenburg 26 days ago.

But Edwards is confident the altitude masks in which players have been made to work out will help them level the series with victory in the second Test.

"They set the masks at 7,500 feet, which is higher than we will be playing. When you see the pain on the players' faces when they are cycling with the masks it is obviously hurting them a bit," he said.

"Loftus Versfeld at the moment is probably the hardest place to play rugby in the world, because of the altitude. I know we will be in better shape going back to altitude than when we first went there."

One player who will not have to cope with the conditions is Nathan Hines, who was yesterday banned for Saturday's clash. The Scotland lock was given a week-long suspension after being cited for a dangerous tackle in Tuesday's draw against the Emerging Springboks.

Hines was only an outside contender for a place in Ian McGeechan's side, but the head coach has several other key calls to make as he bids to maintain his record of never losing a second Test in three prior tours.

The top priority is finding a way to nullify Springboks loosehead Tendai Mtawarira, who bulldozed Phil Vickery in the first Test, which the home side won 26-21.

Hooker Matthew Rees and prop Adam Jones are being tipped to be selected alongside Gethin Jenkins in an all-Welsh front row.

In the backs, England winger Ugo Monye's place is under threat from Ireland's Luke Fitzgerald and Welshman Shane Williams.

The science internets came up with a great idea today, which is to celebrate #drugmonkeyday, to list the many ways in which fellow blogger Drugmonkey has helped us in our careers. Its not often that we get to thank someone who has helped us with their mentorship and guidance, unless said person either died or is leaving the "scene". So I think it's great that we are getting together to celebrate Drugmonkey and let them know how much they has helped us. About 8 years ago or so I came across this so-called "science blog" by some such person that went by the moniker of Drugmonkey, and that to my surprise it wasn't so much about science per se, but rather about life as a practicing scientist. In fact there was a whole bunch of these blogs by people with odd names like Dr. Isis and Professor Like Substance and Doc Becca. I was totally hooked. Not only were these people sharing experiences that were similar to mine, but in their comments section there was a lively and informative discussion going on. So after lurking around for a while I started participating in the dialogue and found this community incredibly welcoming and encouraging. I remember getting great advice from Drugmonkey and sometimes profanity-laden partner in crime, Comrade PhysioProffe about how to handle the first publications from my lab, how to deal with grant reviewers and resubmission, how to find funding opportunities, and all sorts of insider knowledge that I couldn't believe was not being offered to all junior faculty in departments across the country. I certainly wasn't being offered this in my own department. All of this convinced me to start my own blog, and Drugmonkey and Dr. Isis were incredibly incredibly supportive, promoting it prominently in their own blogs. I was flattered, I had drawn the attention of the legendary Drugmonkey! Remarkably, once the age of the science twitter came about and many blogs fell into disuse since the conversation moved into a different platform, Drugmonkey's blog has continued to thrive, and become incredibly more and more useful, doling advice about the NIH, the grant game and lots of other topics. I don't think one could count the number of people that that DM has helped with sage advice, as they transition through various career steps. And in reality this is not a gargantuan effort by Drugmonkey's part, but rather a willingness to share her experiences and things that have been learned throughout the process so that others might benefit. So keep on keeping on, and I look forward to reading Drugmonkey's blog for years to come.
Thanks Drugmonkey!
Still struggling, I am also happy to be able to read some interesting articles here, thanks drugmonkey.

Just read the title. Or, read the brief post below.
Yesterday, because I was one of the first 2,000 to register for the Rock 'n Roll Las Vegas Marathon and Half Marathon, I received my complimentary long-sleeved technical shirt from Competitor.
I love free things, especially when they involve running, clothes, and catchy phrases. Overall, I am pleased.
I also might have finally done this…
There goes some more of my hard-earned money…but I have no problem with it because it's money spent on something I love.
I'm now off to the gym and going hiking later. Happy Friday!

Note: When I uploaded my own version of this body, it didn't work at first so if you attempted to upload either body before new year's eve, it probably didn't work, but the updated versions are below! Pm me if you try them and they don't work.
Hi, I'm Tutti, and I am terrible at being an active gfx artist. No intervention needed, I try my best. Welcome to my blog!

I made a body!
in about half an hour, surprisingly. I had the basic part of it done, but it took me a while to make, paste, and alter the hood and strings. The original body template that I used (and completely changed) is from Latte's site. I just took her winter sweater, made it one color, and went on from there! Like always, you have permission to upload and alter this, but give me credit. When uploading, make sure to not set the transparency! I'll take any recolor requests, but I won't add hair to any bodies unless they go with a head I've made as well. Thank you for the somehow still growing views, you guys are great!

The Buffalo Bills have made history by becoming the first NFL side to hire a woman to a full-time coaching job. Kathryn Smith has been appointed as Bills special teams quality control coach, having served as administrative assistant to head coach Rex Ryan for the past few years. Of course, it was the Bills who appointed the NFL's first ever female scout as well, back in 1986, so, very much props to them. Meanwhile, the St. Lewis Rams have announced they have received more than 45,000 season ticket deposits over the last two days. The Rams will move to LA this year in time for the 2016 season, and it would appear their reception on the west coast is to be a raucous one.

Aug. 31 — Worsening water risks could dry, or drown, billions of dollars' worth of fossil fuel projects, according to the nonprofit CDP.
Many fossil fuel assets require water to extract, refine and use them, but a stable supply of good-quality water is no longer a given in many regions of the world. That could eventually force energy companies to write off investments.
"Assets don't need to be stranded in all cases," Cate Lamb, who leads the CDP's water program, said in an interview from World Water Week in Stockholm. She said companies could prevent issues by paying earlier and closer attention to water as they plan and develop projects."Failure to do so means those projects will be costlier, they'll be riskier, and they're likely to take much longer," Lamb said.
Policies to combat climate change are the most talked-about cause of potential financial risks to carbon-intensive assets and companies.
"Quite often with climate and carbon, it can be into the future," said Monika Freyman, who directs a group at Ceres that is developing guidance by and for investors on how to better integrate water analysis into their decision-making. "But we're finding examples already of water stranding."
Water-related issues already have had a detrimental impact on more than 40 percent of the energy companies that responded to the CDP's 2015 water survey. What the organizations finds worrying is they remain relatively opaque on the subject, with the lowest response rate among sectors.
As investors become more water-aware, they also are concerned by the lack of disclosure.
Oil and gas companies, electric utilities and coal companies were the target of almost half of all water-related shareholder resolutions filed in the U.S. between 2003 and 2014, according to an analysis by Ceres. Many of the resolutions called for sustainability reporting or risk disclosure related to hydraulic fracturing.
A lack of water availability could curtail shale development in many places around the world, research from the World Resources Institute shows. Water challenges also can turn into financial losses for power projects in countries like India, where the think tank says more than 70 percent of power plants are located in areas that are water-stressed or water is scarce.
It is not just a matter of "drying assets," Lamb said, but "drowning assets" too. Australia's coal exports, for example, took a hit a few years ago after massive floods in its main coal-mining state.
With energy's water consumption expected to climb 85 percent globally by 2035, the International Energy Agency said it is increasingly clear that the sustainable use of water will become critical to ensuring reliable and affordable energy supplies in the future.
"I think the industry is seeing these problems and they are starting to pay attention to this issue," said Tianyi Luo, an associate in WRI's water program.
Most energy companies, including CONSOL Energy Inc., told the CDP that they have integrated water into their business strategy, though less than a quarter report a companywide risk assessment. Noble Energy Inc. and Hess Corp. are among few respondents that have assessed water risks at a basin level.

"Recent New England trends in the 275+ districts for which NESDEC (New England School Development Council) furnishes projections are primarily on the side of declining enrollment," the agency reported to the Wachusett Regional School District in a Jan. 23 report.
Demographic specialist Donald G. Kennedy wrote that declining enrollments will occur "due to fewer births combined with fewer new families moving into the districts... the latter factor, however, may be changing, as we expect in the Wachusett Regional School District."
Kennedy reported that large cities and their nearby communities have displayed flat or rising numbers of births, and enough new renters to keep the school population flat or rising slightly.
NESDEC projections made in fall 2012 was for the student population to be 6,953 this school year, when the actual number is 7,103. In grades K-5, 3,136 students were projected. vs. 3,291 enrolled.
"Usually kindergarten is the most difficult to project," he wrote. "However, NESDEC forecast 444 children in kindergarten vs. 462 enrolled. In grades 6-8, 1,764 pupils were projected vs. 1,795 enrolled. In grades 9-12, 2,053 students were forecast vs. 2,017 actual."
Paxton K-8 was projected at 523 students (vs. 553 actual), Princeton had more in-migration at 289 K-8 pupils projected vs. 376 enrolled. Rutland K-5 was forecast at 692 students but has 767 enrolled, and Sterling K-4 was forecast at 452 students vs. 463 actual.
"Holden had the largest variance from its prior historical pattern," Kennedy reported, "as a large number of new families moved in. NESDEC projected 1,402 K-5 students vs. 1,682 enrolled."
He said two factors now at work will have the greatest effect upon future enrollments, a slight decline in the number of births in district households and, "to a greater degree, the resumption of in-migration (which had slowed, then disappeared due to the real estate slowdown).
"In the decade 1998-2007, the five towns of the Wachusett Regional School District averaged 434 births per year for a decade; more recently (and expected over the next 6-7 years), are about 353-381 births annually — averaging about 50-55 fewer per year than previously," he wrote.
Kennedy wrote that all five towns have seen birth rate declines, although Holden birth numbers are "quite close" to those of the prior decade and any town could reverse its position with only a small number of new young families moving in.
"Each town engages in its unique pattern of home-schooling or private kindergarten," he noted. On the downswing
"Over the next three years in the Wachusett District as a whole, grade K-5 enrollments are forecast to decrease by a total of 270 students," the report said. "Grades 6-8 [is forecast] to decrease by 34 pupils and grades 9-12 to decrease by about 36 pupils... all within the next three years. After that point, these projections show near flat enrollment in grades K-5 and further declines in grades 6-12 (as the slightly smaller groups work their way up the grades).
"That said, it is quite likely that real estate turnover will have increased, bringing in additional new families," Kennedy wrote.
He said the two most difficult grades to forecast in all districts are kindergarten and grade 9 – grade 9 because there are so many options for that grade with vocational or agricultural schools, private or parochial non-public schools. Kindergarten can be difficult to project based on births alone, he noted.
Kennedy said Holden is forecast to have a decrease of 163 students, spread across three years, Paxton expected to decrease by two students in the same three-year period, Princeton to decline by 25 students, Rutland by 18 students and Sterling by 64 students.
"Will these patterns of declining enrollment really last for as long as 10 years? Perhaps not," Kennedy concluded. "All projections are more reliable in year one through five and less reliable in years six through 10.
"As soon as the economy and real estate situation improves in the region, additional in-migration likely will return to the five Wachusett Regional School District towns."
Kennedy said "undoubtedly, NESDEC will be doing follow-up projections during this school year, in which we will incorporate additional birth information.
